FRUIT CONSERVES.
The fruit season is here, and in the
south, where it is so plentiful and cheap,
the best mode of preservation is a very
important and unsolved problem. Os
course, old-fashioned preserves are always
nice, but even in the south, the cost of
sugar for that purpose is an expensive item,
and not always within the reach of many
persons in moderate circumstances who
have large quantities of fruit that often
must waste for lack of markets or means
of preservation.
Fruit canned in glass jars, (never use tin)
if about a quarter of a pound of sugar to a
quart of fruit is used, is very nice; the
sugar preserves the flavor nicely, but all
housekeepers know that it is very trouble
some, and does not keep well unless packed
in a cool, dry cellar or dry sand.
It is not my intention to discuss all of
the different modes, but to tell your readers
something about “ home-made conserves,”
I suppose it might be called. lam an old
housekeeper, and the views I express are
learned from experience.
The easiest and best way to keep small
fruits (though large fruit may be used the
same) is to make of them with much or
little sugar, as desired, a marmalade or
paste. Cook it until thick, flavor to taste,
and after it is cool, cut in slices or cakes
and dry slowly, either in the old fashioned
way on dishes or wooden boards, or (easier
and quicker) in a patent evaporator; or
for a small quantity, a warm stove oven
will do. Tomatoes are best put up in
this way. When thoroughly dry, pack in
stone jars and paste (not tie) thick paper
over the top. When wanted to use for
pies or a stew, take it out, add sugar and
water and seasoning to taste. If a very
cool, dry place is had to keep the jars in,
the marmalade or conserves may be poured
into the jars hot, and nicely kept without
drying. By adding the usual amount of
sugar and water for preserves, you can
have fresh preserves, of fine flavor, at any
time. If the jam is put away without
drying, pour over the top before pasting
over, a little whiskey, or just enough of
thick sugar syrup (sugar and water, or
preserve syrup boiled until thick) to
cover it.
To make conserves sometimes used for
candy (bringing forty and sixty cents a
pound in market), just sprinkle sugar over
the fruit after it is nicely dried by direc
tions. If this is followed as a business,
and a reputation secured, this fruit will
bring a dollar a pound. In this way the
citron we use for mince meat is made. I
have made my own citron, easily raising
the fruit in my garden.

HINTS ON THE USE OF MAT
TING.
Nothing makes a better rug for the bed
room than a piece of fine Chinese matting,
bound at the ends. This may be taken
out and laid on clean grass, or on boards,
and the hose turned on until clear of dust
and all impurities; then laid straight, or
hung over the clothes-line to dry, and re
turned to the bed-room sweet and clean.
Especially is such a rug desirable in the
room where there are small children. And
they are good to lay in front of the bath
tub, being less cold and clammy than the
slat or oilcloth. If a piece is cut to fit the
dining table, bound and laid under the
cloth, it will form a good under-lay for the
cloth and keep hot dishes from injuring the
table.
In places where carpets are not desirable
on account of dust, straw matting is the
nicest of any floor covering, for several
reasons; the dust will not stick to it, and
it does not go through the matting, if of
good quality, worse than through a yarn
carpet. Then, matting is easily wiped off
with a damp cloth, and easily cleaned and
made sweet when taken up; when worn on
one side, it may be turned, thus getting
more wear from it. It should be turned be
fore any of the straws are worn through.
It will make a nice dado around a living
room where tnere are little people; with
one edge close to the base-board, and the
other covered by a chair rail, or strip of
moulding, it forms a surface that can be
washed with soap and water, to remove all
finger-marks left by the toddlers, and looks
new every time it is washed.
Matting also makes nice splashers. Either
that which has a pretty woven pattern;
or the plain may be painted, if one knows
how, in some pretty design.
On the Pacific coast where it seems so
near the flowery kingdom, great quantities
of all grades of matting are used, and for
a great many purposes.

Old matting may still be serviceable by

Poor rubbers are the cause of much
canned fruit spoiling.
A lump of sugar saturated with vinegar
will cure hiccough.
Use fresh, green grape leaves toplace on
the top of pickles in jars, instead of cloth.
Change them occasionally.
Whites of eggs may be beaten to a stiff
froth by an open window, when it would
be impossible in a steamy kitchen.
Soft tissue paper is the best for polishing
mirrors. This may also be used for pol
ishing or drying window glass.
Salt makes an extra fine tooth powder;
it keeps the gums hard and rosy and
makes the teeth brilliantly white.
Binding a piece of lemon around the toe,
rubbing the corn with green peach tree
leaves, are both very good remedies.
The practice of sticking the sewing
needle in the thread on a spool results in
having a bent implement to sew with.
If the boiled potatoes are done a little
too soon, lay a towel over the kettle or
dish, but do not put a tight cover over
them.
A good tonic for the hair is of salt water;
a teaspoonful of salt to a half-pint of water,
applied to the hair two or three times a
week. The effect at the end of a month
will be surprising.

LADY AGENTS
Wanted for an article in the Dry Goods line,worn
by women, and which every woman is bound to
have, as it is a necessity and not a luxury. If
you send us your corset measure, ten cents in
silver and a two cent stamp, we will forward you
a sample and give you exclusive control of their
sale in your county, if not already taken.. This
is not a jewelry scheme or a catch-penny idea,
but a legitimate article of dress that costs us
more to manufacture than what we charge for
the sample. We only want active agents, and if
you are not a worker we do not want you to send
for the sample, but if you mean business you can
easily earu $5.00 per day, without capital, if you
have good references. Samples are easily carried,
and as staple as corsets or hosiery. Address

@1 have berries, grapes and peaches, a year

fornia Cold Process; do not heat or seal
the fruit, just put it up cold, keeps per
fectly fresh, and costs almost nothing; can
put up a bushel in ten minutes. Last
week I sold directions to over 100 families;
anyone will pay a dollar for directions,
when they see the beautiful samples of
fruit. As there are many people poor like
myself, I consider it my duty to give my
experience to such, and feel confident anyone can make one or
two hundred dollars, round home, in a few days. I will mail
sample of fruit and complete directions to any of your readers,
for 18 two cent stamps, which is only the actual cost of the
samples, postage, etc., to me. I ask nothing for the directions.
