that he is in hiding in Boston or vicinity,
waiting for chance to ship on some outgo-

Dora Dickerson. who was in the house

About Holding Wool.

Hon. j. II. Brigham writes to the Ohio
Fd-ner on the wool question as follows
Two years ago wool buyers made plenty
of money in handling the clip of wool, but
last year they we're not so fortunate, and
it is quite likely that the losses were abou.
equal to the profits of the preceding year
These losses have naturally made BUYERS
cautious, and they are quite unanimously
talking twenty-five and twenty-four or five
for good XXX washed wool. and if farmers
manifest 4 disposition TO accept these
prices there will be no trouble in disposing
Of our wools. Is there any good substan.
tial cause for such drop in prices? | dc
not believe there is the markets are alb
solutely bare of good stock; manufac.
turers must have wool There is no couu.
try In the world where such wool as i.
needed can be bought and shipped into
this country, duty paid, for any such price
and if the enemies of American farmer.
succeed in removing such duties it is still
doubtful if supplies can be had abroad a
such prices. | do not propose to urgt
farmers to hold their wool for higher
prices, but merely TO suggest that if such ;
course is ever advisable it appears to mt
that this is the year to try it. BUYERS de

PRESE WING FRUITS IN JELLlEs.
Some Practical Suggestions that are just
Now Sfasnnahla.

Now Sessonable.
This is one of the most important mat.
ters TO every farmers home. As a matter
Of fact, very few farmers families use as
much fruit as they ought to for health and
vigor of life. And az the good wife can
not avail herself Of the conveniences of q
regular cannery, she has to use her kitchen
stove and store bought cans and jars.
Jellying fruit is one Of the safest and
most convenient ways of preserving the
essential elements of many perishable
fruits. 1t may now be too late for currant
Jelly, but if not, they should be utilized AT
| once.
Currant and apple jellies are the easiest
to make, as they are surest to be firm.
Apple juice viii help to harden iellies
that are inclined to be thin. Much of the
Jelly in the market is made from apple
stock
A delicious raspberry jelly may be made
by using one quart Of currants to pint
of raspberries. Pick over the fruit, leay-
ing the currants on the stem. but taking
out all leaves. Mash the currants and put
them over fire to scald, then pour them
hot, into bag. Take the Juice that runs
out, at once, and pour over the raspberries.
Scald this and put it into another bag.
Let both hang over night. In the morn
ing measure the juice, putting currant and
raspberry together, and weigh a pound of
sugar TO each pint of juice. Boil the juice
well before putting the sugar in; it must
boil twenty minutes at least. Add the
sugar and let boil ten minutes longer;
skim carefully; if the juice does not look
clear, the white of an egg may be added.
Crab apples make very firm and pala +
able jelly. The Siberian crab apples are
easily obtained, and are fine in flavor, but,
if one can get them, the wild crab apples
(the sour, green things that grow on
thorny trees in the country, give the
greatest satisfaction. They have a spicy
flavor and pleasant acid which are par
ticularly delightful to iuvalids. The juice
of the crab apple, of either kind, may be
used for jelly with that Of other fruits,
such as peach, raspberry or cherry, and
will give tirmness without injuring the
favor. The proportion may be left TO the
taste Of the jelly-maker.
Ounce jelly is easily made from the
parings and odd pieces Of fruit left after
preserving, but it is not we'll to leave the
seeds in, as they tend to make the Jelly
sticky and ropy.
Grape Jelly should be made before the
grapes turn. A good old cookbook says !:
" In making jelly do but little at a time to
keep it Of light color and crisp and firm

The beetling cliffs and echoing caves of
this dangerous coast have a weird charm of
their own, and the simple people horn within
the sound of the Atlantic surges cling with
surprising tenacity to their matched and
roped cottages, sheltered behind huge
round-backed rocks, in the hollows of which
they grow their patches of potatoes and
stunted oats and barley.
The number of these dwellings, starting
up out of what from a afar looks like a
stony desert, both by the sea and for
miles inland, is startling to us who reflect
on the possibilities of subsistence affo, ded
by this so-called land The unfailing bog
affords ample fuel, it is true, and the potato
crop. when as good as now, will last through
out the winter.
In a good season such as this the oats
have good chance of getting stacked be-
fore the equinOcIial gales begin to blow.
Well it would be if these oats, ground into
meal, might form a larger part of the staple
food OF Donegal. Strong tea, boiled in the
'wee pot" beside the turf embers, with
bakers bread, have now taken the place of
the wholesome bone-making porridge on
which the canny Scot still lives.

as follows:
ITO the north of Aranmore, stretching
away to the northwest of Tory, there is a
fine fishing bank where all kinds of fish
might be caught every day in the year with
suitable boats and gear. In very fine
weather our small craft often go out from
four to six miles off Aran Heads. Next
day they all come back laden, and after
such a take all the other boats in the neigh =
borhood will 60 out. 1t may be that a

Fortune telling" is evidently prosper
GUS profession still in France. seeing that
the will of Mad. Moreau. the cartoman-
day, has been "proved"-to use the English
phrase-under 100000 francs, or a24, 900
sterling.
This was not assuredly, bad sum to
have made simply by telling empty-headed

but that when the reverse was the case
''rocks ahead were to be approximation
| it was out Of this kind of nonsense that
Mad. Moreau was able to live comfortably
on her rentes of which the interest amounted
to 81 900 a year.
The supposition is that the skillful carto-
mancienne was "well up" in the works of
Etteila, who has composed a remarkable
treatise on the representations as to the fu-
ture that may be deduced from the king
and queen of hearts, the ace of spades, the
a,
but Mad. Moreau's card-reading was grated
on native talent in the art of taking people
in and she also had the magnificent op-
portunity of receiving hints and sugges-
lions in fortune-tellirg from her still more
famous predecessor, Mad. Lenormand.
This notorious cartomancienne was said to
have predicted the great revolution long be-
fore it broke out, and she was consulted by
many notable people of her day, who
focked to her sumptuous rooms in the
Fauburg Saint German. One of her most
asSiduous customers was Josephine de
Beauharnais, who, being credulous and
rather ignorant creole, consulted the divin-
crosse on every conceivable subject, and
otherwise made the reputation of the
Lenormand, by imparting to her numerous
secrets concerning Napoleon and his inten-
tions, projects or resolutions, all of which
information was sedulously used, assimilated
and applied by the cartomancienne in proper
time and season.
Thus, when the wife of Gen. Morea went
to consult her in 1905, Lenormand, thanks
to Josephine's gossip, was able to tell her
that the general was in danger. She pre-
dicted the downfall Of Gen. Dubuc, who,
when he was going to execution regretted
aloud that he had not followed the advice of
the fortune teller and fed from Faance
Lenormand also foretold the divorce of
Josephine and Napoleon. but was unable to
get glimpse into the secrets of her own
destiny, for she was three times put into
prison without knowing her fate before
hand, and she died in 1S43 at the age of rs,
having always prophesied that she would
live to attain the age of 1874
