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. Trueiieart. For Woman’s Work. 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. Imogrne E. Johnson. WOMAN’S WORK. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Glean piano keys with a soft rag dipped in alcohol. Old matting may still be serviceable by putting it under carpets. 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.
