Tae use of salt for seasoning and
preserving foods is so ancient tuat
the earliest written records refer to
It, says a writer in Popular Scieuee
Monthly. For many centuries prac­
tically all the salt used by the huunm
race was procured by the evaporation
of sea water.
This method of obtaining salt Is
still employed in many localities where
the conditions are favorable. A uat
stretch of sea coast and a hot and
dry climate are necessary if salt is
to be got from sea water. An idear
locality for this industry is the coast
on the Bay of Cadis, Spain.
The aea water is allowed to collect
in shallow basins, barely above hi/th-
water mark. As the water evaporates
the various salts contained in the sea
water crystallize out and form a crust,
which Is removed and shoveled In
small heaps. There the salts undergo
the first stage of purification.
The edible salt is drained from the
other salts, which constitute the greet­
er part of the impurities. The edible
salt crystallizes out first, while the
other salts retain the water and form
■ concentrated brine which is allowed
to run into ditches dug for that pur­
pose.
The partly purified salt Is then gath­
ered Into large heaps. Occasional
rains wash out the more easily soluble I
Impurities, and the hot sun dries the
salt on the surface of the pile. Al­
though it still contains about 15 per
cent of Impurities it is shipped in
large quantities without further refin­
ing.

To the Greek peasant girl Is com­
mitted the care of her father’s flock,
which she must lead every day to the
pasture and fold at night. The vosko-
poula, or shepherdess, is one of the
most prominent characters in rural
folk song, and many a charming Idyl
has been composed in her honor. . . .
But she has little time for sylvan dal­
lying, for the sheep and goats must be
milked, and the milk must be convert­
ed Into cheese and ylaourtl, a delicious
and wholesome sour curd, which Is in
great demund in the towns. When the
sheep have been shorn, the wool is
bleached and spun, and then knitted
and woven Into garments for the fam­
ily or into cloth for sale. The cotton
or flax grown on the farm must also
be gathered in their seasons, and pre­
pared for use. The cotton pods are
put through a small hand machine
called the mangano, which turns two
rollers different ways, and separates
the fiber from the seed. The instru­
ment next used is the toxeveln. a large
bow made from a curved piece of
wood five or more feet long, the two
ends of which are connected by a stout
string. The cotton is placed loosely
on the string, which is made to vibrate
by being struck with a stick, produc­
ing a not unmusical sound. This proc­
ess detaches the particles of cotton,
and It Is now ready to use as wad­
ding for the large quilts, which, with
a sheet tacked to the under side, form
all the winter bed covering used by
the lower orders of natives of every
race. The mattresses are also usually
stuffed with cotton, and the palliasses
with the husks of Indian corn.

Old Method of Obtaining Necessary of

Various Places.
The machine-gun sergeant at Doug­
las who wants an ostrich for a mas­
cot and Is willing to hatch it himself
if somebody will provide him with an
egg, does not know much about os­
triches or the task in which he pr>
poses to enlist, in the opinion of the
Arizona Republican. If he gets the
egg and is not otherwise restricted, he
might as well be mustered out of the
service. The Germans will be at peace
so far as he Is concerned.
He has perhaps been misled by
stories he has heard of the careless.
Irresponsible way in which the ostrich
race is perpetuated, hy the laying of
the egg in the sand, where it is left to
its own devices until It becomes an
ostrich. That inny happen In Africa,
where there is plenty of sand nnd heat,
but It will not work in the climate of
Douglas, where, though there is no
lack of sand the sun cannot be count­
ed upon to assist in the business of
incubation. The sergeant would have
to go to setting.
Moreover, the ostrich is a bird of
slow growth.
It would be a long
time before one coming forth from
the egg could become a potent Influence
in the struggle between autocracy and
I democracy. By the time it would be
in readiness to be taken to Berlin the
war would be over and ouly historian.«
would yet be talking about it.
We would recommend some other
kind of mascot, one of quicker though
even of less sturdy and magnificent
growth.

Taking the Philosophic View.
"I don’t see you out In your auto any
more,” said the first north aider to his
friend. Last summer you were gon«
all the time; no day waa too hot, no
road too dusty, no storm too hard, no
discomfort too great to keep you at
home.”
"Well,” mused the second, “the price
of everything is getting so high that
auto riding for pleasure is really a
luxury and not a necessity, so that it
was no trouble at all for me nnd my
wife to find for the first time this sum­
mer that the roads are hot and dusty,
that it is a whole lot of trouble to
clean up the machine after a long ride,
that It Is much better to sit In your
own rocking chair on the cool front
porch at night, while the north wind
fans your cheeks, etc., ad in. So now
the car stays In the garage a great
deal more, there Is no wear on the
tires and the mechanism Is not sub­
jected to such strain as it used <o be,
and the car will last much longer.”—

To Hava House Painted.
It was a simple boyish letter writ­
ten In London by a youth from Wor­
cester. Mass., with a little bit of news,
a little hit of complaint, and a great
big bit of confidence in what he and
the Americans were going to do; but
the better part by far was: "I have
saved my pay for some time now, nnd
I want to give dad a surprise by hav­
ing the old house painted. Won’t you
please let me know how much It will
cost! and I'll send you the money and
leave the rest to you, but yon mustn’t
let dad know who Is paying for it."

Festival Custom In Southern India
Ha* Long Been a Recognized Fea­
ture of Native Life.
One of the interesting uses to whicu
brass and gold leaf are applied In
southern India is for gliding limes,
the decorated fruit, according to a lo­
cal custom, being exchanged by na­
tives on festival occasions in token
of esteem. The origin of this practice
Is apparently unknown, but it dates
from a distant period and is a recog­
nized feature of Indian life. The ex­
change of limes takes place on New
Year’s days, of which several are ob­
served in India. Besides the English
anniversary observed by the natives,
the Mohammedans and the Tamil and
Telugu branches of the Hindus have
special New Year’s days. A native
calling on New Year’s day on a per­
son to whom he or she desires to
show esteem, presents the host with
a lime. In the case of the well-to-do
the lime is always ornamented with
brass or gold leaf. The custom some­
times extends also to the ordinary
“tamash” or social reunion. Thus, a
good deal of brass leaf Is used for
glided limes and the bazar trade in
this line throughout southern India
is really considerable. The leaf is
also used to some extent in the man­
ufacture of gilded caps or "topi,”
worn generally by Mohammedans in
southern India on their holidays and
for decorations on the dresses of
Mohammedan women.

AnOnno Froo.
There is a hideous reptile, known as
the fishing frog, which angles for its
game as expertly and with as great
success as the most adroit fly-fisher.
He is a clumsy, awkward swimmer,
but nature has compensated him for
his unwieldiness by furnishing him
with an equivalent for a rod and line,
with bait always ready for use. Two
elongated tentacles spring from his
nose, which taper away like actual
fishing-rods. To the end of them is at­
tached, by a slender filament, which
serves the purpose of a line, a bait In
the form of a shiny bit of membrane.
The hooks are set in the mouth of the
fisherman below, and In order to in­
duce the fish to venture within reach
of them, the angler stirs up the mud
at the bottom with his fins and tail.
This attracts the fish and conceals him
from their observation. He then plies
bis rod; the glittering bait glows in
the water like a living Insect. The
dazed fish are taken In great numbers,
perfectly circumvented by the trick of
the crafty angler.
