A LOST ART.

Every IIouseiSeeper Used to Know How to
Make Marmaiades.
The art of notwithstanding is
hardly known i'll this generation. Mar
malades have been superseded by pre-
serves and canned fruits. There are
many fruits which are especially suit
able for marmalades. Peaches are es-
pecially delicious prepared in this way.
Select perfectly ripe and luscious
peaches. 1t requires n rich peach to
make n good marmalade. Peel, stone
and weigh the peaches. Allow three
quarters of pound of granulated sugar
to every pound of fruit. Mix the fruit
celain-lined kettle at the back of the
fire, where it will slowly heat and
draw the juices out of the fuit Stir it
up from the bottom several times while
it is standing When it is quite hot and
juicy, draw it forward where it will
cook. Let it boil for at least three.
quarters of an hour, stirring it FREE
quently. Add to the peaches when you
put them over about third of the
kernels of the peach pits, blanched and
cut in shreds. Let the peach MARINA
lade stew until it is thick,
smooth paste. Test it by drop
ping little in water or by press
ing the finger through little
taken out to cool. If it curls before
the finger it is done, or if when
dropped in water it does not dissolve
at once. Apricots make a very de-
licious marmalade, which is made in
exactly the same way. Pineapple mar
malade is as frequently prepared Sc
lect large sugar-loaf pineapples, peel
them, take out the eyes, which are not
very deep in sugar-loaf pineapple,
and CRATE them on q porcelain crater
into an earthen dish. Do not CRATE the
core Weigh the juice and pulp and
measure out to every pound three
quarters of pound of sugar. Mix the
sugar with the pulp, and boil it for an
hour to an hour and three-quarters, till
it is a smooth, clear paste and firm.
Ounces make delicious marmalade
So do barberries One of the best and
most delicious of marmalades is pre-
pared from apples and the core and
peeling of ounces, left after preserv-
ing. Put the pecling and core in just
water enough to cook them and let
them simmer. When they have cooked
for three-quarters OF an hour and are
thoroughly tender, strain off the juice
and measure it. Add two pounds of
apples, corcd and peeled to an equal
weight of ounce juice and three quar-
ters of pound of sugar to every pound
of this mixture. Boil it down till it is
a thick. clear marmalade, stirring it
frequently, so that it does not burn. -

WILD MONKEYS IN EUROPE.
Gibraltar Is Their stamping Ground-1hcy
Arc Not "A Thriyinc Lot

Gibraltar Is Their Stamping Ground-1hcy
Arc Not Thriving Lot.
Gloraltar is the only place in Europe
where monkeys have been seen in n
wild state. There may be no wild
monkeys Mt Gibraltar now, though four
still lived there awhile ago, and it was
proposed to replcnish the stock by i'm
portations from Africa. Few monkeys
live along the north coast of Africa,
but Gebel Musa, an important mount
am near Tnngier, is also called Monkey
mountain, because in the woods that
clothe its sides n small variety of
monkeys have lived ever since the
country was known to white men.
They have been gradually decreasing
in numbers. 1t is probable that the
monkeys ut Gibraltar were originally
brought over from Tangier.
Some scientific men partly derive
from the fact that the bones of ele-
plants and other African animals have
been found in southern Europe the
theory that within recent times Africa
and Europe were connected by land
and formed the same continent 1t is
not necessary, however, to ascribe the
presence of monkeys at Gibraltar to a
former union of the continents. 1t is
well known that one of the early Brit
; ish governors of Gibraltar, Sir William
Codrington, brought number of.
monkeys from Africa and turned them
loose at Gibraltar. They had existed
ut Gibraltar however, long before his
time.
For many years it was favorite di-
virsior of visitors to Gibraltar to watch
the antics of the monkeys who lived
there in a free state and seemed to be
nearly as wild as any of their African
relations. The fact also that they
were the only wild monkeys in Europe
enhanced the interest and curiosity
which they excited. 1t has been
proved however, THAT though they
propagate there for generations the
tendency is to die out, and unless the
stock is replcnished Europe will not
long have wild monkeys.
The Arab geographers and historians
of the middle ages wrote quite ex-
haustively of the Spanish peninsula,
and they do not mention such thing
as wild monkeys at Gibraltar, which is
pretty good proof that monkeys had
not been introduced there in those ages,
or if they had they had completely died
out. 1t is believed, therefore, that the
Gibraltar monkeys were introduced
into the country from the north coast
of Africa later than the thirteenth
century.-Chicago News

True I.enepoIenco.

1t often happens that the very peo-
pie most particular respecting their
own things are most wanton in their
disregard of the property of others.
Habits of neatncss and economy are as
suredly commendable, but they be-
come mean when applied only to ones
individual use, and when the reflections:
ut is not mine," is looked upon as q
release from care. This thought on
the contrary, should render the merest
trifle important in our eyes. A truly
benevolent heart aud thinking mind
dictate desire to protect the rights,
reputation and property even of n
stranger. The man is to be commended
who filings aside stone or hoop against
which he has hurt his foot, SO that the
next passcr-by may be spared the same
evil. 1t is trifling action. but springs
from good principle, and, carried out
into the great qualifications of society,
may produce happiness incalculable. =

DURATION OF LIGHTNING.
Tho Length of n Flash Iess Than the
1O,O0Oth Part of n Second

~>.o A>ShEth VI ~ II iAbn 1sebS lnan the
1o,O0Oth Part of Second.
Authorities differ as to the time of
duration of the lightning flash; but all
agree that it is less than the 1O.oOOth
part of second. The experiment
which establishes this fact is due to the
late Sir Charles Wheatstone. A disk,
divided into alternate sections of black
and white, is caused to rotate very
rapidly on its axis, and by daylight it
appears of @ uniform gray If light
ming occurring in the dark render the
separate sectors visible it is plain that
the duration of light must be less than
the time of revolution through the
breadth of one sector
The experiment was tried with n
disk of sixty sectors and making 1870
revolutions in n second, SO that the
time of turning through the space of
one sector is the 1O,sO0th part of a
second. When the disk, rotating with
this velocity, is rendered visible by
lightning black and white sectors arc
seen with gray ones intervening. This
shows that the flash is not absolutely
instantaneous, for in this case the sec
tors would be seen sharply defined
without any alienation of gray

HuNkuM HILL.

used to gaze on Hunkum hill
Aud think It very high.
And ons OF natures mighty props
That helped hold up tho sky.
Ono day toddled up fits side
And stood upon its top,
And then 1 learned the sky must rest
Upon some othor prop.
And there sow it Just beyond,
Another hill much higher,
It's summit mingled with the sky,
All fused with sunset fire.
"That hills q button on the EARTH"
Said to little John.
g The great Sky spreads its buttonhole
And then It bitches on"
One dry climbed the other hill,
And found with heavy heart
The button and the buttonhole
Were very far apart.
But there against the crimson west
Another hill was seen,
A mighty spangled cushion where
Tho big Sky loved to lean.
And so I've kept on climbing hills
From busy day to day,
But from the topmost peaks find
Tho sky is far away.
In spite OF many tumbles, still
This sermon would preach,
Lies greatest fun is grasping for
The things VIC cannot reach.
