To know when jelly is sufficiently cooked,
drop little into glass Of ice water If it
does not spre ad and become thin it is ready
to remove. Ribbon or rainbow jelly is
usually in two or more colors. This is made
of green grape and purple plum, or if third

ore. A layer of one kind, cool, and a layer
of another, and so on until the mould is

When fruit is scarce the parings of high

all of the purchase.

usually made in this way. Carefully pick

The beet way to provide children with
money often becomes = serious question
One mother who felt deeply thu responsibility
of t-aining her children in Christian doctrine
and habits of life, tried the following method
successfully. She determined TO begin early
and be faithful, and rot make the tasks too
i-ksome and distastsfnl to the little ones
Que by enc the Ten Comms ndme n.s, A posties
Greed and some Psalms and little hy INNS we're

ample reward. Alters ards a small sum of
money was given to each child who repeated
the passages well. They were pleased to
have money of their own earning, and the
mother found that she had discovered power
which was likely to help her over many aard
places. And SO it proved.
When the children were old enough the
mother gave each q Westminster Catechism
ard promised them silver dollar when they
should have committed il 10 memory. In the
meantime she gave them short daily lessons
from the book, and paid them Eve cents q
week. Each child earned several dollars b.

II is already time to be thinking about how
| to protect our out door plants from the frosts
that are liable to steal upOn US now st any
| time. As early as the middle of September
! cool nii.hts come in earno st. and though dur
ing this month we sometimes have the finest
weather for the whole year, we know sir will
not stay and knowing it, we should be pre-
pared for sudden changes and frosty nights.
Some collect their pott. plants e g Ter in a
corner where the main house AMI ell meet,
or Just under a sunny window and there up
on an old table or plant stsnl keep them sew
| erai weeks before taking them il for the
sinter. Plants thus collected can BE- p-oiect
ed at right by light awning Or covering of
any light mate rial, or newspapers perhaps
will answer Just as we'll If newspapers are
used they should be secured by placing at
each corner small stone
A few plants well cared for and kept in
thrifty condition are much more ornamental
than q random collection of this, that, and
finally everything that bears the pame of
plant Half dozen blOomers n few sweet
scented Gerauiums and one or ;wo thrifty
ivies are quite sufficient for 'plsnt decoration
in any room that answers sitting room. library
and conservatory during the winter months.
Give plants good start before the cold,
nipping weather sets in. They will do
enough more work during the winter, to
repay for all care given them now. They
should not be forced to bloom but given
all that will promote hardy growth. This
growth will be their reserve power during
the snort, cold days of winter.
A few pieces of charcoal placed here and
there in pots containing plants are said to
keep bugs and insects from them.
When plants are show cred both sides of
the leaves should be reached if possible.
This can he lone by slightly tipping the pots
first on enc side AMI then the other. This
can be done by using a spfifkler.
Keep plants free from dead leaves. Start
up the earth around the stems by the use of
an old two or three tined fork.
