-Marmalade. Sour apples should be
selected for apple marma1ade. Peel,
core and cook slowly in a little water
until it is a thick pulp. Measure the
pulp and return to the same kettle. To
each pint of pulp take one pound of
sugar. Melt the sugar into a thick
syrup; pour into the apple pulp; stir
and cook until thick. Take up in small
bowls. Marmalade made in this way
will, in a week or two, be firm enough
to cut with a knife. Crab-apple, ounce
and peach marmalade can be made
after the same formula. Boston Globe.

Nine. de Pompadour once had an
ugly pimple on her chin. She was
vexed, and at last pasted a piece of
black plaster owe the offending spot.
Result: All the ladies in the court ap-
peared the following week with pieces
of plaster on their faces. Afashion was
established and it was kept up for a
long time. The same lady, as I sup
pose you all know. was exceedingly
diminutive in stature. To remedy this
defect she invented high-heeled boots.
They were unknown before her time.
Result: The ladies of the court took to
h~igh-heeled boots and another fashion
had its birth. Marie Antoinette had
enormous quantities of hair. She
didn't know what to do with it. She
was waiting for q barber one day, with
the intention of being shorn, and had
piled up her hair in a careless manner
when she suddenly found that this style
of head-dress set off her small features
to advantage. Result: Monstrously
high coiffures came into fashion and
were worn for a long time. Anne Of
Austria had exquisitely formed arms.
Result: Short sleeves came into fash
ion. The Princess of Wales is the un-
fortunate possessor of a limp. No,
sir; not a little amble, but an ugly, un-
progressing limp Would you be-
lieve itP Some time ago a large mum
Der of ladies had one heel of their
shoes made lower than the other. Re-
suit: The sAlexandrian limp" be-
came the height of the fashion. The
.Grecian bend'' was another result of
this unfortunate defect. Well this same
noble lady has some slight deformity of
the neck which prevents her wearing
dresses cut low. Result: The fashion,
which still RACES among English ladies,
for bodices reaching almost to the ears,
a fashion which is much ridiculed
among the Parisians.-Boston Journal

Low FashlonzDls Chicago Girls spend
Their Leisure Hours:

Their Leisure HoIrs:
So popular have ceramics become in
Chicago that a pottery has been estab-
lished here which turns out a great deal
Of very creditable ware. Underglazed
faience ware and decorations in paste
are done at this pottery, although a
good deal of Limoges brought from
Ohio is used in the work. It arrives, of
course, in q crude state, and it takes
some time to reduce it to proper form.
It is first washed" in q plunger until it
Is dissolved. Then it is run through a
fine silk lawn, which catches all the I'M
purities, in the shape of pebbles and
grit, and leaves the pure clay. This is
allowed to settle in a vat until the water
rises to the top. This is then skinned
off; leaving the clay about the consist
eney of putty. A fire is kindled under
it, which evaporates any remaining
moisture, and the clay is ready for use.
The potter then ''bats out" the clay,
| which he uses like a sheet of pie-crust,
and by means of a plaster of paris mold
forms into any desired shape. The
| plaster absorbs the moisture in the clay,
and the form is thereby simply ''shrunk
outs of the mold. The shape is yet
soft, and in this condition it passes into
| the hands of the decorator.
It may be decorated in several ways.
It may be painted with a mineral color,
which is mixed with soft clay, Of "slip,".
to give it a body which will neutralize
with the clay while burning, or flowers
may be modelled in relief upon it, or it
may be carved. There are three kinds
of carving-relief, intaglio, and what is
called TRACING" on a picked back
ground.
After passing through the decorative
process the form is carefully dipped into
a vat of glaze-a chemical composition
the combination of which is a secret.
This gives the finish or surface.
The piece must then be allowed to
dry thoroughly, for, should it contain
any moisture when put into the kiln,
steam would be generated and the form
broken. When dry. the form is sub.
jected to a fierce heat for eighteen
hours in q bricked-up kiln, and when il
comes out of the furnace it is under.
glazed faience.
A great many young ladies busy them
selves at this pretty work. They de.
sign original figures for tiles, and they
also make many useful little articles,
such as creamers, side dishes, urns,
vases, water-bottles and chocolate pots.
Pupils receive instructions at the pot
terry, and when able to paint are pro.
vided with the moist forms, which they
decorate at pleasure. A slight fee il
charged to cove the expense of burn
ing, and when the shape comes out O
the furnace it belongs to the decora

One of the chief factors contributing
more largely than any other to the
rapid settlement in this region was
the building of the Northern Pacific
Railroad through these important
States and Territories. Its construc-
ton vas made possible by the libersl
grant of lands made for that purpose
by the general Government. The line
was opened for through traffic about
two years ago, and considering the
progress already made in develop
ing the rich agricultural, grazing,
timber, mineral and other native re-
sources of the broad belt of country
which it traverses, it is safe to predict
that at no distant day this region Of
the West will count its inhabitants by
millions, and the amount of wealth its
people will realize "a scarcely be esti-

the kindling was hardly a grievance.
But to be hindered from this possible hour
of skating yonder-that was serious indeed.
But even Mary's %invincible courage gave
way at last. She found her head dropping
for sleep, when, to her surprise, a bang
down stairs announced that Mr.. Shepard
was shutting up for the night. This was
the slam Of the front door, refractory about
locking.
Could it be possible that they were going
to bed SO early.
What luck. And Silas' skates were in
the harness room.
Yes: She could see the best room win
dows from her prison. She could see Mrs.
Bangs take off her front hair and put on
her queer old-fashioned night-cap. She
could not see her mistress room. But she
could see the column of light from its
window on the snow and the sycamores.
And at last both lights were extinguished.
For the other windows, Mary was careless.
For Silas, she knew the stupid creature had
been asleep an hour.
If he had not been stupid he would be
skating OF that ice now.
1t can hardly be said that Mary had had
any plans for escape. She had stayed in
her room because, on the whole, this seemed
advisable. As Mr.. Mill would say. it was
more useful that she should stay. But now
it no longer appeared useful to her. She
put on her thick shoes and all her other
walking gear, and opened the window.
There were full twelve feet between the
floor of her room and the ground. Even
Mary did not dare to chang off, = as she had
expected to do.
A little annoyed, she looked round the
room, not so much for a means of descent
as for the most convenient, sure that civil
ization would supply something.
After this hesitation she promptly ran
her little iron bedstead to the window, tied
to the top rail the corner of a sheet, and In
a minute had swung herself down, hand
under hand, by grasping the folds, and
dropped lightly upon the snow.
In another minute she was in the hernes.
house, and in a third minute she was buck
ling Silas' rather long skates upon the
stout boots which. Mrs. Shepard had pro
vided for the winter.
"Silas must get me a better pair sale
