Borrowing TrOuble.

1t Is uncomfortably true that there IL al
most as much distress Of mind experienced
In the anticipation az in the realization.
About half OF our unhappy days are coca
stoned by our looking forward to the uu-
happiness OF the other half.
In borrowing trouble natural laws are
reversed; mere mole hills of annoyance be-
come mountains when viewed at a distance
ahead. Some persons never take actual
comfort. In tranquil times the dread OF u
coming change is alwaysi in the way OF their
enjoyment.

usually find out that they come much better
than we have any right TO expect.
Our anticipatory flags of distress may
have been inviting compassion and fiinging
patches OF darkness over many bright

last that we have been guilty Of needlessly,
we might say criminally, robbing ourselves
and others of the happiness rightfully be-
longing 10 us and to them.

the defeat of his party is ruin to the
country. Not so the large-minded

Canning Fruits.
tCourier-Journal.1

Fruits put up by first-class houses are
expensive, and those of a cheaper grade
are so unsatisfactory that every house
keeper will find it economical to can her
own fruit. Care is necessary in doing the
work in order to have fruit keep well and
retain it's natural flavor. None but per-
fectly sound, fresh fruit should be selected
for the purpose. 1t is best to use little
sugar when cooking fruit, but it may be
omitted if preferred, as it is not required
to preserve the fruit. Large-mouthed
glass jars are best; they should be thor
oughly heated before filling and set in a
pan of warm water. The fruit should be
boiling hot, but not overlooked, or the
flavor will be destroyed. After filling and
screwing or sealing on the tops, the lars
should be left in the kitchen, where they
will not be exposed to the air all night. In
twenty-four hours screw the tops a little
tighter, wipe carefully, and put in a cool,
dark, dry place; the cellar is not a good
place for canned fruit, unless in danger Of
freezing. Large fruits, such as apples,
pears, peaches, ETC., should be thrown into
cold water as soon as pared to prevent dis
coloring, then boiled in clear water until
tender, when they may be dropped in
boiling strip for a minute or two. Only

to fill two or three jars. Small fruits,
such as berries and grapes, should be su-
CARED every night, then put in kettle,
just brought to a boil, and sealed immedi-
ately.
All cans should be examined two or
three days after filling. and the leaky
should be unsealed, and the fruit should
be stewed for present use or made into
jam or jelly, as it is not desirable for can
ming again.
Sirup left over from canning fruit may
be made into jelly, or cooked down and
bottled for 1avoring.
The following table gives the time re-
quired for cooking and the quantity of su-
gar used for the various kinds of fruit
Cherries-Five minutes, six ounces
Raspberries-Six minutes four ounces.
Blackberries-Eight minutes, six ounces.

work earnestly, are loyal to the cause,
true in friendship toward one another,
and labor harmoniously together, our or

true we have lost few of our old men,

but let us not despair. Those of US who
are left, we know to be faithful while

lead you on with renewed courage until
