HOW TO PRESERVE SMALL FRUITS.

Small fruits require more care IN pre-
serving than large firm varieties, writes
Mrs. e. r. Parker in the Courier journal.
They should be carefully selected, only
the firm, perfect ones used and then
cooked slowly in the syrup for half an
hour or more.
Damson Preserves-Cut slit in each
damson; spread on dishes, and set in the
sun until the seeds come out readily;
make syrup, put in fruit and boil.
Currant Preserves-Pick ripe, firm
currants from the stems, weigh, allow a
pound of sugar to pound of fruit; make
a syrup of half a pint of water to pound
of sugar; add the currants, cook slowly
until clear.
Gooseberry Preserves Select ripe,
perfect gooseberries, weigh, allow
pound of sugar to pound of fruit; make
syrup, drop the berries in, cook slowly
until clear and thick; when done take
up, put in jars.
Raspberry Preserves-Take ripe, firm
raspberries, allow pound of Sugar to
every pound of fruit. Put in a preserve
kettle together, cook slowly until ten
der; take up the fruit; boil the syrup
thick, return the fruit to the kettle, let
heat, and take up.
! Grape Preserves-Pick grapes from
the stems, skin and put in kettle, stir
until the seeds are loose; then strain,
weigh with skins, and to every pound
allow pound of sugar. Pour the
grapes in the kettle; let come to a boil;
add the sugar and cook slowly until
done.
Strawberry Jam-Pick ripe strawber-
ries, that are too ripe to preserve; put in
kettle with very little water, to keep
from sticking. Boil slowly and stir;
when half done add half pound of
sugar for every pound of fruit; cook
slowly until thick. When cool put in
glass jars.
Plum Preserves-Take perfect iiuft,
allow equal quantities of sugar and
plums; put in sugar kettle with very
little water; boil until rich syrup; pour
over the plums and let stand over night.
In the morning draw off the syrup, boil,
put in the plums, let cook half an hour,
or until done.
Blackberry Preserves--Piek ripe black
berries, weigh, allow pound of sugar
to pound CT fruit; sprinkle the sugar
over, and let stand over night; in the
morning drain off the syrup; put in a
kettle, and let boil; add the berries,
cook slowly until they are done and tia
syrup is thick.
Cherry Preserves-Stone ripe cherries.
and save the juice, allow pound of sugar
to pound of fruit. Boil the juice and
sugar together to make the syrup; put
the cherries in, and cook slowly until
done; take the cherries up with skim
mer; boil the syrup thick and low, and
pour over the cherries.

utes after we Urew rein in trent Of Mr..
Jaggers' house.
The family came out and assisted me
in getting the young ladies into the warm
and comfortable kitchen, where at least
a quarter of cord of wood was blazing
In the ample fireplace.
The horses were driven into an adioin-
ing shed, and warmly blanketed. Helen
and Mabel we're soon restored to a con-
seriousness of warmth and safety, after
the terrible cold and fright they had ex-
perienced.
When we were all seated around the
fire I related, to their amazement, our
perilous encounter with the wolves.
The young wife shuddered as con-
cluded, and wondered if Gilbert would
be thoughtless enough to start that night
from St. Cloud? I told her that we had
passed him mile or two back, seated On
his sled, but did not speak to him.
About twenty minutes later we heard
the oxen stepping briskly over the crisp
snow, and all rose and went to the WIN
dow. When the team came opposite the
door it stopped, but the driver, sitting
bolt upright on the cross beams OF the
sled, did not offer to rise.
Mr.. Jaggers went out with lantern,
and we heard him utter an exclamation
of surprise. We all rushed out and
gazed upon the man. There he sat, I'M
movable as stone. He was frozen to
death.
We will not attempt to describe the
grief and agony of the young wife when
she fully realized the situation, but we
will draw a vail over that great sorrow
which so suddenly blighted her young
life. Our house of refuge was now con-
verted into one of mourning. At 9~next
morning we reached home in safety

RAILROAD TRAGEDIES
Two Fatal Accidents to Passen.
ger Trains.
An Awful Collision Near Ra-
VIENNA, Ohio.

twenty persons were roasted TO death and
many Others injured in a collision on the
New York, Lake Erie and Western Railroad
near Ravenna, Ohio. A train was thrown
from q trestle on the Kanawha and Michigan
road, near Charleston, W. Va. Thirteen
people were killed and over fifty hurt.
A dispatch from Akron, Ohio, says: A
hagman failed to do his duty at Ravenna
before daylight this morning, and twenty
one manned ard lifeless human bodies ara
the awful results Of his faithlessness
The vestibuled limited express on the New
York, Lake Erie and Western road known
as the 'Thunderbolt" bound for the East
stood at the depot at Ravenna, eighteen
miles east OF this city at twenty minutes past
2 O'Clock this morning and was crashed into
by fast freight train OF twenty-four heavy
refrigerator cars, which was coming on be-
hind the ''Thunderbolt' at thirty miles an
hour.
Twenty persons were killed and at least O
dozen others were seriously hurt.
The passenger train consisted Of baggage
and express car, three day coaches then
four Pullman sleepers and last of all q day
coach containing forty glass blowers en-
ployed in the Richardson Glass Works at
Findlay, Ohio. They were boys and young
men, ranging in age from fourteen to TWEEN
ty-three, and all unmarried. Their parents
live In Corning, N. Y, and they were going
home for q vacation.
The passenger train left Kent, which Is
the end of a division and six miles west of
Ravenna, at ten minutes past two standard
time.
Five minutes later the fast freight, which
had been following it closely, pulled out from
Kent. AT Ravenua the engineer Of the pas
senger train got of TO fix his en- ginc, and the
train was held six or eight minutes.
f1agman was sent back to take care OF
the fast freight, but only walked about 40
feet. For several minutes he stayed there.
Suddenly the headlight of tie fust freight
doomed up; the fagman ran toward the on
rushing train, swinging his lanterns desper-
ately.
The freight engineer whistled down brakes
and reversed his engine. The tracks were
showered with sparks from the scraping
wheels but there was no curbing the mo-
mentum OF the twenty-four heavily laden
cars.
The freight engine sank itself into the day
coach, with its forty Findlay excurSionists
A score of men were tossed upon the smoke
stack and boiler and pinioned there by the
debris. The lamps in the coach seemed to
go out for a moment, but then flashed up
and in an instant the woodwork was in u
blaze.
The day coach, in its turn, teiescoped with
the sleeper Warsaw, just ahead of it. and the
Warsaw was pushed part way into the
Jamestown sleeper. All three seemed to
blaze up at once.
The passenger engine screeched out an
alarm that brought townspeople quickly to
the depot. Several Ravenna passengers who
were leaving the train ran back and with
trainmen and the unin jured passengers be-
gan trying to put out the fire and to extri-
cate the victims.
The Fire Department played on the blazing
cars, but not in time to save the imprisoned
passengers.

Through a Trestle.

loaded passenger train on the Kanawha
and Michigan road crashed through a thirty
foot trestie about eight miles from Charles
ton, w. Va, early on a recent morning, and
only one of the passengers escaped uninjured.
At least thirteen people were killed outright
and more than fifty were hurt some of them
fatally
1t was Train No. l, which consisted of an
engine, combined baggage, mail and express
car and two coaches
The coaches were fillel with passengers,
most of whom were laboring people out for
holiday in the country. The Order Of
United American Mechanics was en- route to
Poca to spend the day, many Of them &C
companied by their wives
Many Of the passengers were employees Of
the railway company going TO their homes
along the line to spend the holiday.
The train was passing over trestle when
there came crash. The coaches rocked and
shook, women screamed, and stout men
turned pale with fear.
A moment more and fearful plunge was
nrauo. Inc Iorwaru passenger car roAea
down the approach to the tresNe tufhsd
completely, and rested right side up ten feet
below the track.
The other cars rolled over the edge, turned
bottom up and fell twenty feet below the
track. In the terrible fall many Dc rsons were
crushed and bruised, but to add toIthe horror
the rear truck which remained ON the track
fell over on top of the car, crushing
person who was in that portion OF the c.
One dead body after another was pulled oil
through the window, most Of them horribly
mangled.
OF the entire number on the train only
four escaped without scratch. Nearly all
the dead were cut or bruised about the head.
Immediately after the wreck relief trains
were sent out with physicians from st.
Adams and Charleston who did all in their
power to relieve the suffering OF the I'm.
jured. 81
The burning of the ties, which caused the
train to leave the track, is supposed to have
been caused by the falling of hot cindera
from a freight train that crossed during the
night.
The track walker, whose duty it was to-
inspect the track daily, had started ON his
trip from the other end OF his section, boz
had not reached this place.
The engineer a slight smoke,
thought it an early fog rising from

MAKING A TOUGH CHICKEN TENDER

MAKING A TOUGH CHICKEN TENDER
The chicken may be year-od bird,
and if tough it can be gently boiled be-
fore baking in enough water to cover it,
only until tender, after being carefully
dressed and stuffed with part of the rice.
The broth can be used for the soup, two
cupfuls of the boiled rice being boiled 20
pulp and then enough of the cream
sauce added to make the soup of
creamy consistency. After palatable
seasoning with salt, white pepper and q
very little nutmeg, can be served at once;
or the saucepan containing it can be
placed in pan of hot water on the back
of the stove to keep hot. If the soup
thickens by standing, it can be reduced
to the proper consistency before serving
by adding hot milk. The chicken, after
being boiled tender, can be Drowned in
a hot oven.-- Chicago Neaos.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.

RAISING CREAM IN THE wARx WEATHER.
When Ice is MOTTO be procured or is
too dear, good substitute for its use in
raising cream Is cold water, added to the
milk in the proportion of one-third
This addition OF water Trims the milk
and thus facilitates the separation of the
cream quite as much, and in as short q
time, as the increase of the density of
the milk by cooling it with ice. The
cream rises In twelve hours. If the milk
is to be fed to calves or pigs the addi-
ton of some oatmeal or cornmeal, fed
dry, will make up for the excess of
water.-NeD York Times.

ONYX in Missouri.

When water containing lime in solu-
ton drips into cave upon the ores OF
metals it forms with them q chemical
combination and produces the exquisite
translucent substance We call Mexican
onyx. If the metallic oxide C: ore IS
gold then rich purple veins and splotches
appear through the oynx; If silver, then
the coloring is yellow; if copper, green;
if iron, red. Zinz and arsenic produce
white.
Ages ago King Solomon mined this
rare onyx in Africa. The deposits there
became exhausted. 1t was found IN
modern times at Oberstein, in Germany.
The deposits there failed, too, however.
Then the most beautiful decorative ma
terial known to man cropped out IN
America, but in Mexico, as If scornlng a
Yankee republic. For some years Mexl-
co has supplied the world, the splendid
shining blocks of precious value beng
cut from the quarries by hand 10y Indians.
Machinery has not been applied to 1t
hitherto to any great extent, because the
INSTANCE is so fragile that any force
more violent than that of dett indian
fingers wonld split it and ruin IT.
Now. however, a fiutter OF interest has
been aroused by the announcement that
in Missouri, in Crawford County, III the
Ozark range, inexhaustible quarrlcs OF
onyx have just been discovered within
seventy miles of ST. Louis. This is great
news. OF course we do not want the
magnificent Mexican onyx to become so
plentiful that it will be vulgarized and
applied to all manner Of base uses, but 1T
would be delightful if this material
should become So cheap that persons OF
moderate means can have a little Of 1t IN
their homes. Thus every good thing Is
found sooner or later in the United
States.-Jeacelers' Catalogue.

Rabbit Wool.

To look at the rabbit as a wool-bearing
animal and source of annual profit is a
point of view that will certainly be novel
to most people, but a student of the sub
iect declares that the rabbit is valuable
when thus regarded. He yields wool,
it is said, softer and finer than that of
sheep, and, besides its beauty, it is be
lieved to have the valuable attribute OF
benefting or curing rheumatism. Small
as he is, his growth is vigorous, and it IS
estimated that the amount of wool pro-
duced by rabbit in year, as he can be
combed several times and the wool grows
again, is worth about five francs, which
is as much as the wool of lamb would
fetch:-L0nd07o STANDARD.

me, until my eye caught sight of an
article headed "Jenks' Drcdm." Imag-
inc my surprise to find it ended up with
q recommendation to use DR.. Picrcc's
Pleasant Pellets. Nevertheless, being
a great sufferer from sick headache, I
determined to try them, and, to my great
JOY, found prompt relief, and by their
protractcd use, complete immunity
from such attacks. Pierces Pellets
often cure sick headache in an hour.
They are gently laxative or actively
cathartic, according to size of dose.
AS q pleasant laxative, take one each
night on retiring. For adults, four act
as an active, yet painless, cathartic.
