There are conflicting reports in regard to
restitution in Dakota. Many Eastern pa

any restitution at all. The truth is between
these two extremes There are several
counties. in which the early frosts cut of the

cARE on TnE PIANo.


A piano tuner writes thus OF the mech
anism Of that instrument and its sus-
ceptibility to atmospheric conditions:
Pianos are not affected as much by
heat OF cold as they are by dryness or
danpness. OF course, IL you stick one
end Of piano against a stove or heater
or register and let the other come near a
cold, leaky window it'll raise Ned with
1t. You know the sounding board-thc
life Of a piano--is forced into the case
when it's made so tightly that it bulges
up in the centre, or has belly, AZ we
call 1t, on the same principle as violin.
The wood is supposed TO be ms dry as
possible, but, OF course, it contains some
moisture, and gathers lot more on damp
days and in handling. Now, when YOU
put piano in an over heated, dry room
all this moisture is dried out and the
bonrd loses its belly and gets flabby,
and finally cracks. Even il it doesn't
crack, the tone loses its resonance aud
grows thin and tinny, and the felt cloth
and leather used in the action dry up and
the whole machine rattles and everybody
kicks. How can you prevent it, East
ly enough. Keep a growing plant in the
room, and so long as your plant thrives
your piano ought to or else there's some
thing wrong with It. just try it andse
how much more water you'll have to pour
in the flower pot in the room where your
piano is than in any other room. Some
people keep huge vase or urn with a
sopping wet sponge in it near or under
the piano, and keep it moistened just as
cigar dealer keeps his stock. They
Keep this up all the time the fires are
on"

JELLY MAKING.

The jelly making season brings much
hard work TO the busy housekeeper, vet
the wise woman will not fail to put up O
good supply, for there are times when O
jar of nice fruit or glass of jelly is a
'friend in need"
Select fruit of fine flavor, free from
blemishes and decay; it should be well
ripened, but not too ripe, and rs freshly
picked as possible, and use the best re-
fined or granulated sugar To extract
the juice, place the fruit in the kettle
with just enough water to keep from
burning; stir often and let it stand on
the fire until thoroughly scalded. A
better but slower method is to put it in a
stone jar set within kettle of tepid
water; boil until the fruit is softened
stirring frequently; then strain n small
quantity at a time through strong,
coarse flannel or cotton bag wrung out OF
hot water; LET it drain and squeeze with
the hands as it cools; empty ths bag and
rinse off each time after being used.
Large fruits, as apples and ounces,
should be cnt I'm pieces, cores removed
and water added to just cover them /;
boil gently till tender and pour into the
bag to drain three or four hours or over
night.
Do not make over two or three pints
of jelly at time, as larger quantities re-
quire longer boiling. Boil the juice
rapidly ten minutes from first moment of
boiling, skim, add sugar and boil ten
minutes longer. AS general rule, allow
equal quantities of juice and sugar. An
other way is to spread sugar in n large
pan set in the oven, stirring to prevent
burning, boil the juice twenty minutes,
add the hot sugar, let boil up once and
pour into jelly glasses Immediately, as in
this way q thin skin forms over the sur
face, keeping out the air; cover with
branded tissue paper cut to fit the glasses
closely, let cool and set them in dry,
cool, dark place. To test jelly drop a
little into very cold water and if it i'm
mediately falls to the bottom of vessel it
is done. If the jelly is not firm, let
stand in the sun with pieces of window
glass or mosquito bar netting, for few
days.-,DetiOn Free Press.
