CURRAST JELLY.-Weigh the cur
rants without removing the stems; do
not wash them, but carefully remove
leaves and whatever may adhere to
them. To each pound of fruit allow
half the weight of granulated sugar.
Put a few currants into porcelain
lined kettle, and press them with po-
tato masher in opder to secure sufficient
liquid to prevent burning; then add the
remainder of the fruit, and boil freely
for twenty minutes, stirring occasion
ally to prevent burning. Take out and
strain carefully through three-cor-
nered bag of canton flannel, putting the
liquid into either earthen or wooden
vessels, never in tin. When strained,
return the liquid to the kettle, without
the trouble n measuring, and let it boil
thoroughly for a moment or SO, and
then add the sugar. The moment the
sugar is entirely dissolved, the jelly is
done, and must be Immediately dished
or placed in glasses. 1t will Jelly upon
the side of the cup as it is taken up,
leaving no doubt as to the result.
Gather the fruit early, as soon as fully
ripe, since the pulp softens and the juice
is less rich if allowed to remain long
after ripening.

The young lady gave her name, and
then the clerk asked: ''Do you reside IN

'Yes, live here.'' And after a few
more such interrogatories, Daniels was
in the act of laying down his pen when
the lady ventured the question: "Do l
have to put the license on the dogs col

One of the most interesting of the
many uses 10 which paper has been p,it
is the manufacture OF paper bottles.
We have long had paper boxes, barrels
and car wheels, and more recently paper
pals, wash basins, and other vessels:
but now comes a further revolution of
paper in the shape of paper bottles,
which are already quite extensively
used for containing such substances as
ink, bluing, shoe dressing. glue. etc.
and they would seem TO he equally well
adapted for containing large variety
of articles. They are made by rolling
glued sheets of paper into long cylin-
ders, which are then cut into suitable
lengths, tops and bottoms are fitted in.
the inside coated with a watel proof
compound, and all this Is done by ma
chinery almost as quickly as one can
count. They are cheaper and lighter
than gas, unbreakable and consequently
very popular with consumers, while the
fact that they require no packing ma
terial, and are clean, handy and eco
nomical, commends them to manufac-
turers. Unlike glass they can he
manufactured at all seasons. The
strength of paper is wonderful. As an
illustration of this, a note OF the Bank
OF England, TWISTED INTO KIM OF a
rope, can suspend as much as 239
pounds upon one end of it, and not be
injured in the least. There is an arti-
Gle made of paper, in the shape of
small kitchen or house truck on wheels,
used for wheeling loads around the
house The sides and bottoms of this
are made Of finely compressed paper,
and it is capable of bearing a weight of
five tons. There are bath-tubs and
pots made in the same manner, by COM
pressing the paper made out Of linen
fibres, which is painted over with a
composition which becomes part of the
paper and is lireproof The tubs never
leak, and they may be put On the fire
and not burn. 1t is impossible to
break them, as you can beat Oh them
with hammer and not injuTc them in
the least.

Mss Gordon Cumming has drawn
attention 10 the cleansing effect of pc

way 10 employ Ii is to ill an average
boiler, say of fourt en- gallons, with
water, adding half pound of soft ssap,
and when all is boiling thoroughly pour
in one and a half tablespoOnSfuls of
petroleum Then put i'll the clothes

FARM NOTES.

PRUNIEG RosEs-It Is an aStonlSil-
ing thing to see how, year after year.
the chances of obtaining the most
beautiful rose blooms are frittered away
through uninteIligent pruning of the
plants, even in gardens of great reputa-
tion. There are thousands of Iose
bushes all over the country which, III
spite of being found in Spring 10 have
made fine growth during the previous
season, never produce good flowers, and
the explanation is generally 10 be found
in the fact that no reasonable plan Is
followed III pruning The commonest
mistake is the leaving of the older
branching spray wood that has already
flOwered. Dwarf rose bushes at the be-
ginning of the year generally consist OF
several much branched stems which
carried bloom in the previous Summer,
and several strong, straight shoots
springing from the baSe of the plant In
the case of hybrid perpetuals. these
older branching stems should be cut
completely out, leaving only the new
shoots from the base which themselves
should lie then considerably shortened.

duces 10 flowers worth having. while
the weak and crowded growths with
which it becomes covered afford "A
