Picked Cue umbers.

tits something the same with pick
les as it is with making bread-every
one, nearly, has their own way, and yet
some ways are better, and some best.
First Of all, one should be sure to pro-
cure good firm cucumbers, be they large
or small--and small ones are always
considered preferable. Make a brine of
two pounds of salt to one gallon of wa
ter, and keep them in about two weeks,
stirring them up from the bottom every
few days. Then take them out of the
brine and let them lie in fresh water a
day, and they are ready for pickling-
only do not put vinegar on them when
they are wet. Take them out and
spread them till they are dry, or, If the
number does not forbid, wipe them off.
The object of this Is to retain their
crispness. Those that are not crisp
when you take them from the brine
should be discarded.
Use strong vinegar, and never dilute
with water, as this softens them. The
vinegar should he heated in a granite
iron kettle, or unglazed earthen one,
for salt and vinegar will dissolve the
lead in the glazing Of any article. Add
to one gallon of vinegar tea-cup OF
sugar, three dozen peppercorns, two
teaspoonfuls of cloves (whole) allspice,
and q dozen blades of mace. Let these
boil in the vinegar five minutes, and
then pour over the cacumbers while il
is scaiiing hot. Protect them from the
air by having the stone jar full, so that
putting on the cover Will run 1t over

the same as In sealing canned fruit.
The third day they should be taken out,
and the vinegar again scalded and
poured over them the same as before.
Handle them always with q wooden
spoon. This process should he repeated
twice after this. with an interval of
three days between. They may taste
fairly good in q month, but will be far
better in three months, and in fact time
treats them kindly as 1t does wine
when you have them right to start
with.
Now word about the color. 1t is
very seldom that we see home made
pickles bright green, like some sold in
the stores and purchased from large
wholesale manufacturers. These are
colOred mostly with sulphate of copper.
Some time If you zee any particularly
nice green ones Il do not say nice pick
les), you can bys simple experiment see
for yourself IL this Is not used. Drop a
little of the vinegar on knife, and then
drop little sulphuric acid IN 1t. Hold
the knife over a flame and the vinegar
will evaporate, leaving little particles
of copperas on the knife-provided that
was used. Our dear grandmothers used
to make their pickles in brass kettles,
to color them. Perhaps some of later
generation do, but I should not advise
it, for it would seems as senseless as
using poisonous coloring matter In con-
fectiOnery. 1 have heard Of cooking
the green leaves of some harmless plant
and coloring with this, but I can give
no directions, and think the firmness of
the pickle would have to be sacrificed
to gain the color by adding such wa
ter color as this would necessarily be.
In mentioning the condiments used
in the vinegar, did not speak of onion.
This would seem quite a necessary
thing to some, but If used, let 1t be spar
ingly, in mercy to your friends and en-
emies, who neither eat or enjoy the fra
GRANGE of this most aromatic vegetable.

THE TEMPTER FOILED.
A Story of Ireland of To-Day.
BY J. H. SPENCER.

A chilly November evening on the
western coast of Irelaud-a remote,
desolate, and cheerless spot inhabited
by some of the most rack rented i'm.
poverished people of that down-trod-
den nation, the restless ocean blazed
with sunset light; white, ghostly
vapor rolled inland.
A pink glow fell over Kathleen
O'Hara's graceful figure as she paused
on her way from the town mile dis
tant, and stood on the overhanging
cliff, which reached above the white.
crested waves below.
Nothing could have been more ex-
quisite than the pure curves of her
face, nothing more perfect than the
glossy black of her clustering hair.
1T is three years ago to-day that he
went away she murmured, and l
have not heard from him since; but l
cannot think he Is dead
She stood alone IN the raw wind,
haunted by memory OF her handsome
young lover. How many times they
had stood on this cliff together! How
many tender things he had said to her
here. She should never forget them.
Had he forgotten her? In that dis
tant land where he had gone to seek
his fortune, had be found some one
else who had taken her place in his
heart? Was he-so true, so brave, so
noble-false to her? No--a thousand
times, no-she could not believe it.
A heavy step crushed some irag-
ments of rock behind her. She turned
and faced the intruder He was a
tall, middle-aged man, with hand
some, though evil-looking face.
4 have come to join you in your
evening walk, Kathleen he said, with
meaning in his dark eyes, as he
watched her narrowly,
You need not have come; prefer
to be alone, she answered, drawing
herself up haughtily.
But it is growing late, and you
need protector.
A look OF disgust passed over her
face as he spoke the word protector.
As if comprebending the expression,
he said, hurrieGly:
Have you considered what said
to you? Have you not had enough
of this life of poverty and starvation,
and are you ready to come with me?'
mo, never! l would rather fling
myself into the sea down there than

An angry gleam shot from Lord
Kildare's eyes.

This amounts 10 $500 minute, 2l6,0OO an

When sun and shadow fee across the bIllows Of

When upward pierces keen

green.
Didst think, oh, narrow heart,
That mighty Nature shared thy puny smarti
Face her serene, heart whole, heart free;
that is the better part

Avault Of snow and sapphire wonderment,
Merely to arch. dull egotist thy dismal discontentf
wouldst pour into the ear
OF the young morn the thoughts that make thee

View the lands Joyous splendor through the folly

Though the dim years withhold from us one frail

August, 1924, and joined that charge
urder the pastorate Of Rev. Edward Ken
nard, who long resided aud died in VIII
mington. He was licensed to preach at
West Chester, Pa, March 10, 1889, by
Rev. Levi Scott, then pastor and after.
ward Bishop. His occupation, until too
inflrm to do businefs, was teaching and
SUI veyine.
In the nciehborhood of $50 for eeveral
years he was editor and publisher OF the
Times, a temperance paper at Smyrna,
Del. 1t was the organ of the Pr hlbi
tlon movement conducted In Delaware
during that period.
He was selected by the friends OF the
cause to canvass tho State for the meas
ure, and d.l gently prosecuted the work
until the Legislature adopted prohibi-
tory law Tor the Commonwealth, where
upon the Governor appointed him a
IN ,gistrate to assist in executing the
law.
For nearly sixty years his license as a
local preacher has been annually renewed,
and duIing that time, until about ten
years ago, he preach,d acceptably and
| almost constantly as an eyanee Isl, and
supplying many vacant pulpits in differ
ent parts OF the country.
During the late war In this country he
was chaplain in the Union army. He
was an elder at tie time OF his death,
and had been since 1851. His wife, one
OF the mt ct devoted oi christian women,
and a member Of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church almost from her infancy,
died in this city In 1866, where he then
resided, and is buried In the rear OF
Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church, this
city. He never married again. Though
physically eli hit hc uniformly enjoyed
health, never having been seriously sick
throughout his long career. For o few
years past the infrmities OF age have
be n insidiously creeping upon him, inso-
much as to unit him for any active duty,
until "the wheels Of weary lie at last
stood still"
During all his sloping passage to the
end he bore himself with accomplishing
patience and unwavering faith in the
Son OF God as his personal Bs-iour.
His daughier-in-lsw, Mrs. L.
| Poulson. was his constant Ir-na and
nurse during his later ycsrs Of feeb,en, ss
until his eyes were closed in death.
