THE Ho M E..
GRAPE JELLY.


In the making of jelly there are some
important points to be observed.
First-The fruit must be fully ripe, but
not allowed to be over-ripe.
Second-A fair day with gentle wind is a
great help. When the air is full of moisture
jelly will not harden quickly
Third-Rapid boiling of five minutes just
to mix the juice and sugar well together.
The sugar should always be heated in the
oven before using. Long boiling makes jelly
ropy, also dark colored.
Fourth-A porcelain kettle and wooden
spoon. would never use tin. iron or brass
for cooking any kind of fruit as it certainly
affects the color and is not wholesome.
Fifth-The jelly should have ones individ.
ual attention from beginning to end, and il
is better to make small quantity and repeat
than to make large quantity at one time.
Sixth-A good jelly-bag Is essential. Mine
is made OF stout cotton and wool flannel Il
Ks inches, the edges turned over ali around
and closely stitched The top is hemmed
and piece of wire run in, so the bag has an
open mouth. A stout string finishes 1t to
suspend 1t by. If the bag is made of new
flannel, wash 1t well in suds and rinse in hot
water before using.
notwithstanding to put the jelly in
when made. There are jelly-tumblers of
different kinds and sizes. l have some with
glass covers, which are very nice, some with
tin covers, which do not like, and bowls of
various sizes. One can use almost ANYTHING
that can be covered over. Pick the grapes
from the stems, wash thoroughly and put
into the Kettle with very little water. AS
-seon as they begin to boil stir and press
with the wooden spoon. When soft, dip into
warm water and suspended over a large pud-
ding dish to catch the juice. Do not squeeze
the bag. but let it'drip.
When done turn out the remainder in a
dish. Measure the juice in pint bowl and
take an equal quantity of fine granulated
sugar, set the sugar 10 the oven to warm,
then add to the Juice in the kettle and stir
well together. When it b0ils. time it, and
let it boil five minutes. Watch it and skim
tumblers ready on wet towel, dip cut boil
ing hot, filling as full as possible, as il
shrinks when cold. The next day take white

one for the outside, Sitting the edges and
letting it come down on the sides. Dip the
papers in the white of an egg. Lay one on
the jelly, the other over and fasten securely.
There Is only one reason why your jelly will
not keep for one or two years-it will be
eaten up.
Now the part of the grapes that is left put
into the squash strainer and press with the
wooden spoon all the pulp you can. Meas

LEARN TO DE HoUsEKEEPERs

Begin with your own possessions, girls.
Reform your upper bureau drawer; relieve
your closet-pegs Of their accumulation Of
garments out of use month or two ago.
Institute clear and careful order in the
midst of which you can daily move, and
learn to keep 1t so that it will be part of
your toilet to dress your room and its ar
rangements while you dress yourself, leaving
the draperies you take off as lightly and
artistically hung, or as delicately folded and
placed, as the skirts you loop carefully to
wear, or the ribbon and lace you put with a
your instincts of taste and fitness in every
little thing you have about you. This will
not make you "fussy," it Is the other thing
that does that, the not knowing, except by
fdgety experiment, what is harmony and the
intangible grace of relation.
Take upon yourself gradually, for the sake
of getting them in hand in like manner, If
for no other need, all the cares that belong
to our own small territory of home. Have
your little wash-cloths and your sponges for
bits Of cleaning; your furniture brush, and

store the gloss where dark wood grows dim

your surely growing sense Of theroughness
and niceness, the best and readiest ways of

own processes; they will come to you. When
you make yourself wholly mistress Of what
you can learn and do in your own apartments,
so that it is easier and more natural for you
to do 1t than to let 1t alone, then you have
learned to keep a whole house so far as its

The taste for pure reading cannot be too
early cultivated. The careful selection of
books for the young, and watchfnl super
vision over their reading cannot be too stren-
uously impressed upon parents and teachers.
Books are to the young either SAVIOR of life
unto life. or Of death unto death either con-
terminating or purifying, weakening or
strengthening to the mind of the reader.
Ii the first aim of the public school system
is to make men better workers, the second
should be to make them thinkers; and to &C
complish this young minds must be brought
into correspondence with the thoughts and
works of the great men of the past and of
today Nine-tenths of what they have
learned, as arithmetic, algebra, geometry
and geography, will pass away as the cares
of life come upon them. But the taste for
pure reading, when acquired, will never pass
away; IT will be Of use every day and almost
every hour. They will find it refuge and a
solace in times Of adversely, and be happy
when others are sad.-Mother's Magazine.

prosaic way. This renowned parsonage re-
sided in Bath, England. many years before
the beginning of the present century, Car
rying her cakes in a basket through the
streets morning and evening, she sold them
to the passers-by. They soon became popu-

from me originator Of them, became in great
day. and decided to plunge into speculation.
He wrote song in her praise and SET it tn
music, and then bought out her trade and
receipt. His investment proyedIgood. and
Sally Lunns were sold in the street in barrow
loads, and the baker retired with fortune

HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE.


The secret in making chocolate, says a
leading confectioner Of New York city, is in
mixing the powder with enough boiling
water to make thin paste, and then pour
ing on toiling milk, and last little more
boiling water, and scalding one minute. It
can be made with all milk, but it is too rich
for most people without the addition of some
water. Chocolate, cocoa, nor any such mix
ture should never be stirred with anything
but silver or wooden spoon. A teaspoonful
of chocolate to cup is the rule, and IL the
liquids are poured on while they are boiling,
and the whole scalded in porcelain-neyer IN
tin-there will be no doubt OF success.

FAVORED BY THE BOARD.
The Custom House Project In
dorsed by the Board of Trade.

At the meeting of the board of trade
Yesterday afternoon the following reso-
lutions were adopted and copy Or
dered sent to each of the Minnesota SEN
ators and representatives i'll congress:
Whereas, The time has now arrived
when the business interests of Min
neapoIis demand that this city should
be made port of entry. That in view
of the fact that the government will in
a very short time be in possession OF a
building presumably adequate for all
purposes connected with the business
of the government, the expense con-
nected with making this city port of
entry will be trifiing as compared to the
saving of time. money and annoyance
to our merchants. Therefore be it
Resolved, That the board of trade
heartily indorses the project of making
Minneapolis a port of entry, and the
establishing of custom house in this
city.
Resolved, That the senators and
members of congress from this state be
and hereby are respectfully requested
to use their influence to have an act OF
congress passed making Minneapolis a
port OF entry.
The following gentlemen were named
as committee to represent the board
at the business mems convention to be
held at st. Louis Feb. 2S: Clay Nc
Cauley, Judge Atwater and j. l.. Wieks.
The plan of the Christian Arbitration
union to settle allinternational troubles
by arbitration, rather than by arms,w was
indorsed, and more time was allowed
the special committee appointed to de-
wise means of separating boys confined
in the county Jail from the older and
more hardened criminals.
The proposition of Mr. Rodgers to es-
tablsh barbed wire factory here was
declined, as that gentleman wanted too
big bonus. Henry Baldry, of r. l..
Polk & Co., asked for permission. to
issue pamphlets and the like, advertis-
ing the city under the authority of the
board. The request was referred to the
committee on city affairs. John John
son, of New York, sent in communi-
cation relative to establishing an organ
factory here. The matter was referred
to the committee on manufactures.
The special committee Oh navigation
was given more. time in which to make
report on the st. Louis, st. Paul and

One Reason Why John G. WOoliey
Will Leave Minneapolis.

w
A lady, prominent in the w. G. T. U.
ranks, was seen yesterday in regard to
the proposed temperance mission OF

charge. On being questioned as to
whether Mr.. .WoOlley would take hold OF
the work in Minneapolis, she replied:
''It is doubtful yet whether he will OF
not. There is reason for him not to
that has been covered long enough, and
intend to tell it to you now for publi-
cation. You know that Mr.. Woolley
was promised 500 a week when he
came here. by the Murphy. You re-
member that there were very large
sums of money donated from time to
time. In all there was S1,750 raised,
and it has always been a mystery to
people where the money went to. Mr.
Woolley received less than S25 a week
or the twelve weeks he was here, and
if it had not been that he was the guest
of certain good people he could not have
lived while here on the amount: This
is what became of the money: Ihe Old
debts of the Murphy club. some of them
dating back as far as 1887, were all paid

That was with money given by prl-

to blame for it. Mr.. Beach says the
club was clamoring for her TO pay the
debts. and she couldn't help it; but Mr..
Beach may be as deep in the mud as
she is in the mire. At any rate, she
used the money taken in collections to
pay old debts of the club and left the
rent of Traverse hall unpaid, so that we
are now nearly 5000 in debt. You re-
member that when the division was
made between the Murphy club and
Mr.. Woolley the question as to
whether Mrs. Mays accounts should be
audited by a. committee or not. and
after a good deal of discussion 1T was
decided to do 1t. They were all appoint
ed from the Murphy club, and of course
there was nothing said OF what became
of the money. Then there was another
thing; $50 was spent for badges. Here
is written statement of Mr.. WOollev,s

tates about coming back"

SO much money. l think it is no more
than justice that they should know. If
