W r " f- vyv - - , *' aH The Abbeville Press and Banner, j ' BY HUGH WILSON. ABBEVILLE, S. C., WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, 1901. ESTABLISHED 1844 J HOW TO BE HEALTHY. " | SalM to Be Obierred In the Matter ' of Diet and Exercise. Fositirely avoid a habitual dipt com- ; posed too exclusively of one kind of ! food, such as moats or cereals. Such j & diet leads inevitably to disease. Many cases of sickness, palpitations. ?curvy, skin diseases and headache ! are directly due to this improper diet, j Bear in mind that sugar and all BUgared or sirupy substances, unless sparingly used, are the most injurious of the foods in ordinary use. They render digestion imperfect and by their seductive taste are liable to induce overeating. Eat snarinclj of fruit, preserves, j real, pork, young lamb, kid. ham, bacon. sugar, vinegar, spices, fats, oils, fried foods, pastries, cakes, rich desserts, strong gravies, hot freshly baked bread and foods which form adherent i pastes. Avoid cold drinks at mealtime, ex- | cept in hot days. Avoid uncomforta- j bly hot drinks. Avoid eating at irreg- I ular hours. Never overrule your appetite, -which is the best index of the amount of food you need, except iu the course of diseases that require a special diet Satisfy your appetite, not your gluttony; satisfy your thirst, not your j craving. Salt your food sufficiently, because j RAlt in an aid to digestion, but not more than needed to suit the tatte. Eat less rapidly and chew your food more. The stomach wants only well chewed food. The teeth were made for that special purpose. If they are poor or missing, seek the dentist's aid. Avoid violent exercise and severe mental exertion just after meal, but a moderate exercise, as walking, will aid digestion. s Wash your hands with soap and water before each meal, even if they do not appear unclean. Brush your teeth Inside and outside at least once a day, and rinse your mouth after each meal. When your stomach is out of order, give it a rest by fasting half a day or by taking only a little fluid food. Remember that the wholesomest meats are beef, mutton and poultry and that beef and mutton are most easily digested and wholesome when broiled, roasted or stewed, not fried. Remember that pure water is the most natural and wholesome beverage. A glass of pure water every morning before breakfast will go far toward preventing sickness and extending life toward the century mark. How to Make Turkey Shortcake. Make a biscuit dough and bake it in a shallow square tin, as for fruit short cake. Take one cupful of cold turkey, minced; heat with one cupful of gravy and season with one-half teaspoonful of salt and one saltspoonful of pepper. When the crust Is done, split and put the meat between the layers, pour the sauce over It and garnish with parsley. How to Make Potato Xeati. Lattice potatoes are an excellent ac. companiment to the fish course and after a few trial efforts are easily prepared. Wash and pare the potatoes and let them stand for a time in ice water. Cut them into very narrow strips, throwing them into ice water as they are cut Then drain and thoroughly dry enough to pack into a strainer which is about the size of a teacup and force into the middle of the potatoes a smaller strainer. Fry this in deep, very hot fat When a golden brown, remove the two strainers and stand the 4- ?- K??ATi*n TiQ nor T? p. pUlUlU UCOl uil OUil kSkirv*** |/upv?? * %. peat tbe process until there is a nest for each person. Before serving place them on a tin in the oven to heat. Fill the nests with fish a la reine and serve on a bed of cress. How to Make Tooth Powder. Take half an ounce each of powdered orris root and prepared chalk and add to them one teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda. Mix thoroughly. Tbe soda acts as an antiacld and neutralizes the acids of the mouth, while the chalk and orris are gritty enough to remove any particles of food which may cling to the teeth. How to Treat the Llpa. The lips should never be rubbed with strong scent, such as eau de cologne or vinegar or lemon. Friction is also very bad for their well being. Lips may be only a pale pink, but if they are smooth and soft they will look attrootivp. Ronire is also very bad for | the lips. Some women have a stupid way of "biting the color into their lips." Not only does this unwise practice make the skin very sensitive, but It also thickens and swells the lips till they lose all charm. How to Make Raw Beef Tern. This Is ordered in some Illnesses. Take one-quarter pound of lean beef, Bhred it finely and place in a jar with one-quarter pint of cold water. Cover It and allow it to stand for two hours. Strain off the liquid and use at once, as It will not keep. It should be served in a colored glass. I How to Bake Onlona. Peel six large onions, put them In a saucepan and cover with boiling water and let them boil for 15 minutes. Pour off the water and cover them with cold water. Then drain them again when they are cool. Put them In a baking dish or agate pan. sprinkle with salt and pepper, pour over them one cupful of hot milk and add one tablespoonful of butter in small pieces, cover with buttered paper ana Date unui xenaer. Serve with roast turkey or chicken. How to Mmke Cough Cure. Boiled linseed tea made rather thin and sweetened with sugar candy andj flavored with lemon Juice and rind is j excellent for a cough. Boil some black j Spanish licorice with tt HOW TO__TELL DELFT. Difference* Between Real and Imitation Are Marked. Color is the most i::; pert ant consideration in deeiding whether or not alleged delft is genuine. Blue delft must not be too blue to be real. The natural color of the ware is si pure white. Its texture is of a hardness greatly resembling porcelain. The only thinjr in delft that is legitimately blue is the dosipn. or figures. These arc of a deep indigo I tint, the production of which is one of the secrets of Holland. For more than two centuries potters all over the world have striven to imitate delft and have failed. The latest attempts have been made in Bonn. Germany. "Real" delft is as different from the Bonn product as silk is from satin. In the first place Bonn delftware is soft and not unlike majolica. A slight chip In the glaze reveals Its claylike texture. Then, too, the ware itself is blue, which is an unpardonable fault "the coloring of the design seems to have spread over its entire surface. Divergences in portraits and pictures are one of the distinguishing marks of real delft. It is all painted by hand. No machine ever comes in contact with it Bonn delft is in a striking contrast Absolute uniformity is obtained by the use of stencils and machine made outlines. Contrary to the belief of some collectors, there is no intrinsic merit in old delft The kind that comes from the potteries today is quite as fine and more beautiful in design than its predecessor. How to Shampoo With Flour. The flour is sifted into the hair in handfuls, the locks are divided into sections and brushed with a soft brush until every particle of white dust has been removed. Three or four applications of flour should be used for each shampoo, as the last brushing ought K) show the entire absence of dirt The hair should be brushed every nijrlit with fine, flexible brushes which should be cleaned two or three times a week. Hon to Make Game Stexv. Lay four mallard ducks cut In small pieces in salt water for five hours. Take one bunch of celery, two carrots, one onion, a small piece of garlic, live red peppers and chop very fine. Put ducks on to boil and at the same time add the vegetables and a half pound of pickled pork. Cook for one hour, then add one can tomatoes, two cans French mushrooms and cook for 30 minutes more. Then add half a teaspoonful each of the following spices: Cinnamon, cloves, allspice, mace, nutmeg, thyme, savory, three bay leaves. Stir and mix well together. Peel five potatoes. cut in small pieces and add when stew Is nearly done. Then add one quart of ripe olives, five tablespoonfuls Worcestershire sauce, half bottle catchup. Last, thicken with a little flour. Let stew stand 30 minutes after cook? ? Tin 1fn 1 nnt 111? UC1UIC uu^, JLFV v.u&v4t?& ..Vfc *.v put in too much of any one spice. The same stew can be made of any wild game, using about the same amount of meat. * IIow to Mak? Apple Tea. Wash and wipe a good sour apple, cut it into small pieces and boil it in a cup of water until it is soft. Then strain the water into a bowl, add a bit of sugar and serve when cold. If the apple is of good flavor, this is a most pleasant drink aud may be given to fever patients, children with measles or whenever there is much thirst. How to Make Royal Roast. Select four pounds of lean beef. Brown two tablespoonfuls of drippings with two minced onions, fry the roast in this, first rubbing a teaspoonful of salt well into it and dredging it with flour. When the meat is brown, add enough hot water to nearly cover it Cover the pan and simmer one hour. Then add sis whole cloves and six whole peppers, one-half cupful of vinegar and eight crisp gingersnaps, laid on top of the meat. Cover tightly and cook until tender, wnen done, remove the meat, strain tiie gravy and pour over it Serve. How to Make Lemon Bramble*. One cup raisins, two lemons, three crackers, a cup of sugar and two eggs. Remove peel and seeds from lemons, seed raisins and chop together. Roll crackers, stir eggs, sugar and crackers together and add the chopped raisins and lemous. Bake in crust. How to Cream Spinach. Strip the spinach from the stems, wash and put into a saucepan without water. Cover closely and boil for 15 minutes. Drain, pressing out all the liquid, and chop very, very fine. Return to the fire, with a teaspoonful of butter, salt and pepper to taste and two tablespooufuls of rich cream. Stir and toss until very hot, then beat hard for a minute before turning from the saucepan into a hot dish. Garnish with slices of hard boiled egg. Serve very hot. How to Make Cauliflower Sauce. Cauliflower sauce for cold fish is made by boiling a small cauliflower until tender, then breaking it into small pieces and adding it to a white sauce with a few drops of lemon juice and a dash of white pepper. now to Avoid Chapped Handn. It is claimed that no one need suffer from chapping of the hands if care is taken to rinse them in running water after washing with soap. When running water is not available, the basin of still water should be absolutely fresh and clean for the rinsing, as it is the alkali of the soap remaining in the water mat causcs me trouuxc. v^ui,> the purest soap should be used. How to AVanh Chamois Skin*. Chamois skius may be washed iD clear tepid water. Ilang them up and when partly dry rub until soft and pliable. \ FOOD FOR THE SICK. j Hot*- to Prepare nnd Serve It la a j Tempting Way. ; As the* patient begins to regain health : and strength more solid food is given ?milk or cream toast, soft boiled or j poached eggs, cereal mushes, stewed or I sometimes fresh fruits or a well baked I potato. Great care must be taken not fn nvprtnv the digestive organs. Re I lapses are often caused by too much Indulgence of the patient's appetite at j this stage. One must advance slowly and with great care. A broiled bird or a piece of rare beefsteak or a chop may be given when the patient is in a sufficiently advanced stage of recovery. I Oysters are almost always allowed and | are both palatable and easily digested I if perfectly fresh and not too much ! cooked. When they are overcooked, the albumen becomes hardened, very tough and difficult to digest. Cook them only until the gills begin to curl. Cream soups are valuable, as they are nourishing and easily digested, but they should not be boiled too long. A great deal of attention should be paid to the serving of food for a sick person. The faint appetite of illness can best be coaxed by the daintiness of the food. Serve the food on a tray with a fresh, white cover and be careful not to put so much on the tray as to crowd it. Better to serve too nttie anu let uie patient ask for more than to put so much on at one time that the sick one is immediately discouraged. A flower or a little sprig of green laid upon the white tray cloth is often an incentive to the indifferent appetite, but do not attempt a vase of flowers unless it be a very small and dainty one. Have the tray set with the prettiest china and glass obtainable, without too much color, so as to weary the eye. If the china is all of a single pale tint, the effect will be very dainty and pleasing to the eye of the patient. It must also be small enough to accommodate the size of the tray. Never let the tray or remains of food served stand in the sickroom after the patient has been fed. Let all hot foods be served immediately after they are prepared, and it seems superfluous to mention that all hot dishes must be hot and all cold dishes equally cold. However, this is not always done. Sometimes both the cold and hot dishes are allowed to stand until they reach the same temperature. There are a great many simple, dainty desserts which may be served to the invalids, especially those made with eggs and gelatin. Ice cream is often given and is very nutritious and can be digested by some very ill patients, and it is almost always rensnea. How to Whiten Ivory. Ivory may be whitened by washing well with soap and water and allowing it to dry in the sun. This process must be repeated for several days. If the ivory be attached to some heavy article that cannot readily be moved, another process is to put a thin paste of lime over it until it turns white. It is then dried and polished. How to Cure Insomnia. It is now a generally recognized fact that one of the most proliOc causes of insomnia Is overeating, that practice resulting usually in a disturbed condition of the digestive organs if in nothing more serious. The remedy In such cases Is obvious enough. Cases are common where insomnia of a protracted and stubborn nature has yielded to a period of fasting. There are few cases of sleeplessness, in fact, in which a little dieting may not be tried with good effect Copious drinking of cold water just before retiring is often highly efficacious. Deep breathing kept un as loner as nossible by will power is a generally recommended remedy for occasional sleeplessness, tbe main aim being to keep tbe mind from thinking. Ilow to Stew Maahroomi, Remove tbe stems and peel the caps of two dozen large mushrooms, sprinkle with salt and pepper and saute for five minutes in a tablespoonful of butter (hot), then add half a cupful of sweet milk into which has been stirred one-half a teaspoonl.'ul of cornstarch. Stir carefully and let; it boil slowly for five minutes. How to Make Wine Whey. One pint of milk heated to 100 degrees F.t one teaspoonful of prepared rennet and two tablespoonfuls of wine. Stir the rennet and tbe wine into the milk quickly, so that the wine may not curdle the milk In blotches. Let it stand in a warm place (on the stove hearth, for instance) for half an hour, then separate the curd from the whey by straining. The whey is excellent for children with delicate digestion who need a little stimulant. It is very good also as a drink for invalids at any time. Ilow to Make Cabbage Dre??injc. Heat one-half cupful of cream, beat yolks of two eggs aud rub one tableepoonful of cornstarch in a little cold milk. Add it to the scalding cream and add two beaten egg yolks. When thickened, remove and add two tablenlnn/onn ? A O ffllTT flmnC uio vil > lucgui auu t* of lemon juice. How to Make Batter Dnttoaa. Beat a quarter of a pound of butter to a cream and stir in three eggs. When this is done, add three large tablespoonfuls of flour, and salt to taste. Take up the batter in tiny portions with the tip of a small spoon, and let th?m simmer 15 minutes in clear soup which is boiling gently. They can be eaten with this soup or served with any other preferred. How to Serve Celery With Sauce. Cook celery roots in stock until tender. Make a sauce with a piece of butter, flour, a little salt aud pepper, and when boiled five minutes pour it on the yolk of an egg. Stir well and putln the celery. A . ANTARCTIC POSSIBILITIES Explorer Borebp?Tlnk Thinks There May Be it Future For Commerce There. The recent Antarctic expedition wa? a commercial one, and commercially it was a failure, because we did not find the right whale, so valuable for its whalebone. The Antarctic was fitted out for the hunt of that particular kind of whale; neverthe' less I have no doubt that the commercial result of the expedition would have been much better had we worked under more favorable auspices. I do not by any means consider the faob of our not having met with the right whale in those seas as conclusive proof of their nonexistence in the bay at Victoria Land. The Antarctic found the right whale at Campbell island in the winter time; the boats fastened to five of them, of which, however, only one was caught. Now, to me it does not seem improbable that these whales go 60uth to the bay of Victoria Land, where Ross saw them, In the summer, and return north in the winter. It would seem incredible that a man of Sir James Ross' standing, supported as he was by able scientists and experienced whalers, should have made a grave error when he said that this valuable whale was to be found in large numbers in those southern latitudes. The difference in the appearance of the _t ?i- i- # a u it DlUG Wiuue, as wo iuuuu m inure, buu hio right whale, in the method of spouting, is so striklug that even the most casual observer could not easily be decolved. Very possibly, had we penetrated farther into the large open bay discovered by Ross in the vicinity of the volcano peaks Erebus and Terror, we, too, would have found the right whale in great numbers. We saw very many blue whales, but had not the appliances to take them. As I remarked at the international geographical congress, we found few seals. They increased, however, in number as we worked eastward, and seemed afraid Of the land. All of the seals that we met on the 6hore showed much uneasiness, and speedily made for the water, a fact which strengthened my belief in the existence of a large enemy of the seal on the continent. I do not doubt that the seals congregate together in larger numbers at some places on the bay. I consider the guano beds which we discovered of great commercial importance, and they ought to be well worth the attention of enterprising business men. The specimen which I brought back with me contains a large percentage of ammonia. Furthermore, from the analysis of the specimen of rock which I brought back with me, the possible and piobable presence of valuable minerals on the continent is proved, although the lava and the volcanio aspect of tho coast line do not speak favorably for the presence of heavy metals near the surface.?C. E.' Borchgrevink in Century. How the Chinese Count Time. The Chinese sundial embodied the, usual principle, but was crude indeed. A ' rod or needle set upright reflected a shadow on a flat 6urface as the sun moved. On this were characters indicating the j hours of the day. The Chinese also used a ! water clock called the clepsydra. It was a disk of copper or other material, with an extremely small aperture, from which the water trickled, drop by drop. The clepsydra of Canton is thus described by a traveler: "It is a vase of copper. It is situated in a pavilion built on a double aroh that crosses a street leading from the great south gate of the city to tho palace of the treasurer of the provinoe. Like that which existed, and perhaps exists still in the .PeKlDg ODservatory, 1? is composed ui iuur copper vases, whence water runs from one to another by little tubes fixed at the base. The vase that rests on the floor has on its wooden cover a kind of handle, crossed by a rule mounted on a float and covered with characters representing the hours. When the water has run out?that is, in the morning or evening?it is poured again into the uppermost vase. There is a little briok staircase by which the attendant ascends. "In the temples there are attendants whose business it is to hang up a placard, with a white ground, on which is indicated the hour. They strike the hours of the day on a drum, and at night they beat a gong. The attendants who thus look after the flight of time occupy the intervals between in making sticks of Incense, on which are marked the hours. These are sticks so arranged as to burn a certain length of time for every hour, and these 3 * are useu uy ^uuauis auu uuuoio. stick is lighted when the gong sounds, ond in this way the private individual can keep very tolerable account of the hours as they pass."?New York Ledger. Painting the Lily. Painting the lily has become a literal fact, not merely the poet's notion of tho wildest exaggeration. An army officer's wife, writing from an out of the way western town, tells of a young woman out there, "quite tho most refined person hero she is, too, who related to me, with much pride, an idea of her own which she had carried out for a recent silver wedding. 'I cut 6ome of our annunciation lilies,' she explained, 'and pasted silver paper in strips on the outside of tho flowers. They wero very much admired.' " This western artist (?) is equaled and outdone by a Berlin society woman who set out her dinner board latoly with exquisite flowers, on which mottoes and quotations were painted in gold, silver and various colors. On a deep purple heartsease was a greeting in cream color on its surface, and other flowers had been equally disfigured, at great expense of misguided skill and money. Perhaps the worst outrage was a lovely rose, bearing the complete menu on Its petals.?New York JL 1XIICO. A Stop In Time May Save a Sermon. One of the elements of n suoc^ssful sermon is a timely and effective close. Many a grand effort has utterly failed for laok of remembering this. A climax is reached, the impression is vivid, then, alas, 4,a few more words," and the influence gained is frittered away. Weariness takes the place of conviction, and the truths uttered beforo aro forgotten. There is no use in banging away when one has commenced to flro blank cartridges.?Syracuse Chriatlan Advocate. A River of Ink. In Algeria there is a river of ink. In the upper part of its course it flows through beds of decaying moss, in the lower part through strata of iron ore, and thus, through the combination of the two, its waters acquire very nearly the color and something of the taste of black ink. Tim grandest review ever 6een in this country wag that at Washington at the close of the civil war. Over 100,000 men were in line In 1880 the value of the cotton mlli product in this oountry was $102,000,000; In 1890 it had Increased to $208,000,000. ROMANS LIKE SECRECY. Oo Not Want Strangers to See That* 1 Household Arrangement*. It seems to be a part of the real simplicity of the Italian Latin to put on a quite useless look of mystery on all occa- 1 dons, and to assume the air of a oonsplr- j ator when buying a cabbage, and more : 1 than one great foreign writer has fallen F Into the error of believing the Italian character to be profoundly complicated. One Is apt to forget that It needs much i p deeper duplicity to maintain an appear- n ance of frankness under trying circum- 0 stances than to make a mystery of one's marketing and a profound secret of one's cookery. There are few things which the p poor Italian more dislikes than to be watched when he is buying and preparing ^ his food, though he will ask any one to ^ share it with him when It is ready, but he is almost as prone to hide everything else that goes on inside hi* house unless he has fair warning of a visit and full time to P, prepare himself for it. ? This is perhaps not entirely a race peculiarity, but rather a survival of mediseval life as it was all over Europe. There are pretty clear indications in our own literature that the ladies and gentlemen of two or three hundred years ago did not like to L. L i. 3 U_ n?nl?

As for the cleanliness of those times, the less said about it the better. In Rome there was a long period during which not a single aqueduct was in working order, and it was a trade to clear a sup- x ply of water out of the Tiber from a por- J tlon of the yellow mud by letting it settle re In reservoirs, and to sell it in the streets tl< for all household purposes.

It is safer to ask the ques- of tion now than it would have been then. ?e Probably those persons washed who were pi the fortunate owners of a house well or a A rainwater oistern, and those who had ae neither did not. Perhaps that was very of much the same all over Europe. It is cer- Ct tainly to the credit of Trastevere that it la pi not a dirty place today by Italian stand- fo arda.?Marlon Crawford in Century. MARY ANDERSON'S WARDROBE. n?il Vn? Am AUm fimtiini* <n. For Five Five Act Pl&ja. Three months elapsed between Mary Anderson's first appearanoe on the stage and her second performance, "a heart breaking interval," writes Mrs. De Navarro In The Ladles'Home Journal. Man- tw ager Macauley of Louisville then offered uj her his theater again for a week, and she vl presented the chief roles in five plays? ab "Fazio," "The Hunchback," "Evadne," f*i "The Lady of Lyons" and "Romeo and m Juliet." Of her first week's engagement pi she writes: "At the end of the week I was sa in debt to the manager for the sum of $1, vl the house having been large enough only ba to cover the running expenses. All I bad of gained by a week of bard work was a sad <ji, heart and a very sore throat. Besides, creditors became unpleasantly importunate, for my scanty wardrobe was not yet paid for. This consisted of a white satin dress, simply made, whlob did service for all the parts. It sparkled in silver trimming for Juliet, was oovered with pink roses for Julia, became gay in green and gold for Evadne and oloudy with white ' lace for Pauline. The unfortunate gown ( owed its many ohanges to the nimble and willing fingers of my mother, who spent D muoh time each day in Its metamorphoses. "A train of velveteen, a white muslin dress and a modern black silk gown, which, like Mrs. Toodles, we thought 'would be so useful,' but which had to be discarded after Its first appearance, com- J pleted my wardrobe?surely a meager one ! for five plays of five acts each, requiring at least 12 gowns. We had built up financial as well as artistlo hopes for that week and were disappointed in both. But It proved more successful than was at first V thought, for shortly after, Ben De Bar, I one of the greatest Falstaffs of his time, I engaged me for six nights at his St. Louis I theater. At the end of that time I found 1. myself in his debt for the sum of $600, but the houses had steadily Improved, and tht press was filled with long articles enthuslastio about the present and full of predictions about the future." The SwIm Banrti. The Swiss bands marched to the music of fife and drum or of their own voices, y, the notation of one of their marching V songs being still preserved. The forest r0' cantons also sent a horn with their com panies, which instrument^ were known tic by nloknames, Bull of Uri, Cow of Unter- , walden, and the like. Their sound was j lung a note of terror to the men of Austria and Burgundy, and made a grand rallying cry for the Swiss in aotion. But i apart from this, these horns appear to be ch< the origin of the bugle horns which still appear on the appointments of our light Infantry, and have displaced the drum at ' the distinctive Instrument of the foot soldlar. Kaoh company of course had a flag of its own, whioh on march or in action J was posted in the center under a givard of halberds. Whence the main bo' ?metimes was called by the name of.

The Swiss wev- distinguished by the small size of their flags; the landskuechts, on the contrary, to accentuate the difference between themselves H and their hated rivals, carried enormous j ensigns, and made great play with them.
