the hands while engaged in any light

to wash dishes in was chagrined to find

ten days or a fortnight. The dealer
told her that it was the grease in the
water, which ate through the rubber
like an acid. She was careful after
ward to use one of the mop dishcloths

Sun Preserved Fruits: For straw
berries. sprinkle a scant pint of sugar
over pint of the berries after they are
hulled and placed on shallow plates or
platters- Set them in the hot sun and
cover with glass or netting. At night
keep up the drying by placing them in
a warm. but not hot. stove oven. In
two or three days the juice will have
stiffened and the fruit become prac-
tically dried and transparent. They
may now be placed away in glass bot
ties or in self-sealing jars and kept for
winter use. Blackberries. raspberries,
cherries, etc, are all said to be nice if
dried in this way and are thought by
many to be more delicate than the
canned or cooked ones.-Orange Judd
Farmer.

and celery tops, all cut in small pieces
Six whole cloves. stick of cinnamon and
three whole alspice. Salt and pepper
to taste. Strain through a cheese cloth,
set in oofander and let it stand all
night and skim all the fat off carefully
in the morning. II there is a bone in
the meat do not let the butcher crack it
or it will make the soup muddy. This
quantity may be used for two dinners
