A Few Valuable Directions For Pre
serving Fruit.
A southern housewife gives the
following, directions for preserving
fruit, using wide mouthed jars for
fruits that are stoned and the long
becked ones-for catchup and toma
toes : “Make a wax of one pound of
resin, two ounces of beeswax and
two of Spanish brown, slowly mixed
together. When you wish to put
up fruit, put the bottles, nicely
cleaned, in a kettle of cold water-
and set it over the fire; have corks
the right size soaking in water. Peel
your peaches and put them in a pre
serving kettle without any water
and warm them briskly, stirring
from the bottom to prevent their
burning before the juice is made
from the hat. While the bottles are
hot in the kettle fill them with the
peaches that have been heated
through, cover the peaches with the
liquid-up to the cork, put the cork
in, dip it in the hot wax and then in
cold water or ice and smooth it with
a knife. This is an easy and cer
tain method of keeping fruits for
the winter if the directions are
faithfully followed. Raspberries,
blackberries and strawberries must
boil only ten minutes. Tomatoes
must be sliced and boiled 20 min
utes, then strained through a‘col
ander to remove the skins, returned
■to the kettle and boiled up again,
and the bottles filled when hot,
corked and sealed, as the fruits.
Keep them in a cool, dry place. If
you use tin cans, place them in cold
water as soon as filled; have a wide
mouth funnel, perforated ladle,
sound fruit and seal up instantly
while the fruit is boiling hot, and
you will never lose it.”

tone of forest green, the rush seats
in brilliant tints of red. These odd
pieces are severe in form, without
ornamentation of any kind. They
are in different woods, like ash, wal
nut and heavy white pine, which is
painted in dark, rich colors, their
gayety lying chiefly in the stuffs
with which they are decorated.
Dainty Butter Pats.
If you want your butter to look
really inviting, have it done in tiny
rolls, one for each person. You can
buy the corrugated boards for mak
ing it up. Scald them thoroughly
first and let them lie in cold water
till you are ready to begin. Take
a bit of butter about as big as a wal
nut, put it on one board, and with
the other pat it down till it is about
an eighth of an inch thick. Then
roll it, place it on the butter dish-
and do the next in the same way.
In hot weather these should be
thrown into salt and water if you
want to make them some hours be
fore using, and only placed on the
dish when wanted.
Best Results From Refrigerators.
There are many people who, from
a “false idea of economy, fail to get
the best results from the use of ice
and refrigerators. A common mis
take is getting a small piece of ice
every day or every other day instead
of . filling the ice chamber two or
three times a week. The small piece
of ice cannot reduce the tempera
ture sufficiently, and the result is
'that each new piece melts rapidly
and the food cannot be kept long.
It will be found at the end of the
season that the cost of ice and waste
Of fpocLhave been much greater than
if the ice chamber had been kept
filled.—Maria Parloa in Ladies’
Home Journal.

Not a Complimentary Likeness.
A lady was busily engaged in
brushing her hair when a little niece
who was staying in the house came
into the room.
“Oh, auntie,” she exclaimed,
“what lovely, silky, beautiful hair
you have! Just like the tail of pur
old rocking horse!”
, FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
When Margery Lost Her Pennies, She
i Did Better Than Cry.
Little Margery had two whole
pennies of her very own. Father
had given them to her that very
morning, and now the question was
; what should be done with them.
Should she buy a doll? She had
Been some very nice ones in a shop.
; They had lovely cheeks and beauti
ful brown eyes, with ringlets to
match; but, then, even two whole
pennies mightn’t be enough to buy
them, for they were real beauties:
: Perhaps it would he better to get
two penny tops, and then she could
give Bobby one, and they could have
some fnn together with them, or
some chocolates. It really was a
long time since she had tasted any—
• so long that she almost forgot what
, they were like. Bnt chocolate drops
i would soon be eaten up, and then
j there would be nothing left of her
J two pennies.
No; she would not decide too
quickly. She would go down to the
village and have a good look round.
So she put on her hat and ran to
ward the village. Before she had
gone very far she stopped at a pond
by the roadside to watch some ducks
which were swimming about on the
water.
There was a little railing round
this pond, and Margery climbed on
to it and then felt in her pocket to
see if she could find some crumbs to
give them; but, alas, in pulling out
her handkerchief she pulled out her
pennies, too, and down they fell to
the bottom of the pond.
Poor little Margery! What do
you think she did?
“Oh, cry!” you will say. No;
she got down from the railing and
turned a rather sorrowful face
homeward. As she went along she
said to herself: “Never mind, Mar
gery. It’s better’ll if yon had tum
bled in instead of the pennies.”
And I think she was right. Don’t
you?
The Boy's Three Wishes.
On the way to Fairyland is the
wishing gate. It is a queer old gate
half way up a steep, lonely hill, at
whose foot lies a beautiful lake.
They say that when you are npon
this gate yon may wish three times
and always get your wish. So one
day a boy who had just earned 5
cents by bringing in wood for a
neighbor climbed to the topmost
rail and said, “I wish X, could have a
whole lot of money without working
for it ”
“You shall have your wish,”
creaked the gate.
And straightway a big potato
bag full of money tumbled into his
lap. It was so big and came so sud
denly that it made him fall forward,
but as his feet were caught between
the rails he was still on the gate,
though head downward and with
his hands upon the ground.
“I wish,” he said pettishly, “that
the money was at the bottom of the
lake.”
Down rolled the money bag and,
with a great splash, was gone for
ever.
“Oh, dear!” said, the boy, trying
to free himself. “I wish I could get
away from the old gate.”
Immediately the lower 1 rail
snapped and set his feet at liberty,
and off he ran to the wood pile as
fast as his legs could carry him.—

A Familiar Headline.
The most familiar heading in the
newspapers of this country, at least,
is “Killed at a Crossing.” The
amount paid out by steam and trol
ley lines for deaths at the crossings
would more than pay the expense
of a cordon of guards around every
crossing. Why not exercise this
precaution and thus save life and
money?—St. Louis Star.
Borrowing Umbrellas.
In Indiana a young man was sen
tenced to a reformatory for a long
term, fined $1 and disfranchised for
five years for “borrowing” an um
brella. And ^millions of umbrella
“loaners” will rise and call that
judge blessed.—New York Herald.
