MAKING FRUIT JElLlES.
Rules That If Followed VIII Bring Good
Results.

Many women have asked why their
jellies do not jell what they shall do to
make them CONCEAL; why they become
moldy, etc. Pectin is the basis of vege-
table jellies; it gives to the juices of
fruit the property of gelatinizing.
When the fruit is ovcrripe, or when
the juice is cooked too long, it seems to
loose its gelatinizing property. We
often see this when we attempt to make
jelly with over-ripe fruit; the substance
will become thick and gummy with
long cooking, but will not CONCEAL. The
fruit for jcllies should be just ripe or
little under-ripe, freshly picked, and of
good quality The small juicy berries,
such AS currants, blacl1bcrrics, rasp-
berries. etc, can be cooked in stone
pot, which should be placed in a kettle
Of boiling water; then the contents
should be stirred and mashed well, un-
til the fruit is heated through, say for
about an hour: or, the fruit can be
heated slowly in the preserving kettle
and mashed well. In either case, strain
the Juice first through a piece of cheese
cloth, and next through a flannel bag;
place in the preserving kettle, and on
the fire. Boil and skim; add "A pound of
sugar for every pound Of juice, first
heating the sugar in the oven. Stir until
the sugar dissolves, and fill the glasses.
When such fruits as apples, pears,
peaches, ounces, etc, are used, wash
them. and then cut them into small
pieces, barely covering with water, and
cook gently, until the fruit looks soft
and clear; it will take an hour at least
for this process. Strain the juice, and
let it boil about twenty minutes; add
the hot sugar, and boil five minutes
longer Place the uncovered glasses in
a sunny window for day or two; then
cover with rounds OF paper, over which
tie covering of cotton batting; keep in
a cool, dry place.
We have had 50 much rain and damp
weather the past few years that house.

trouble with mold now have this new

How Men Fall When shot.

The manner ia which men fall de-
pends also upon the nature of the
action in which they are engaged
Nearly every one is familiar with the
traditional stage fall, where the victim
of supposed dead-shot strikes an atti-
tude clasps his hand to his heart, stiff
fens every joint and muscle, breathes
Historically, and goes down like log
topplcd over from one end. Another
popular yet erroneous notion is that
men shot through the vitals leap into
the air and go down in a dramatic atti-
tude. Sometimes men are found on the
field in striking positions, but often an
examination shows that the position
was taken after the fall As rule, a
man who is hit above the hips goes
down. The slighter the wound the
more commotion, for the body instinct
lively resists, just as it does when one
slips or is pushed or collides with some
object But wound in vital spot
weakens the resistance, and men sink
at once or reel and tumble with very
little self-control. - Popular Science

NEEDLESS EFFORT.
The Foolish Expenditure of Energy t.
keep Up Appearances"

The Foolish Expenditure of Energy to
keep Up Appearances"
One-half of the misery of life at least,
IL not more, comes to people from not
being able to make both ends meet; and
yet great deal of this carking care
and worry of mind is unnecessary. 1t is
sad to think, indeed, how much of the
misery of life is absolutely needless
Many a man, for instance, with large,
expensive family, will toll on and
break down prematurely, whereas if he
had simply been in the habit of dis
cussing matters in a frank and friendly
way with his family needless luxuries
would have been cheerfully given up,
and the idle would have willingly put
their shoulders to the wheel This is
not often done; the father keeps his
business affairs to himself, and his fam
lily become accustomed to his grumbing
over expenses; and when the real trou-
BILE comes he stands alone with none to
help him-and it is his own fault.
Keeping up appearances" too, is
often fatally disastrous mistake and
yet of all idiotic things this seems the
most senseless and the most needless
Nevertheless, it must be one of the
strongest tendenc les of human nature,
for it has brought many one to ruin,
and for what good? What possible
good can it do us to have our neighbors
know that we keep two horses instead
of one, and so on in like ratio? Truly

think of keepin' house once more, SO l
said Yes and we were married in
three weeks from that night.
I'VE lived real happy together for
fifteen years; and l never thought any
thing more about money matters, nor
how things could get mixed up. We
kept on prosperin', Mr.. Jones had the
name of bein' good farmer, and al
ways knew how to manage my part.
We both worked hard; but we didn't
owe cent, and kept putin money
into the bank.
Zone day Mr.. Jones took an awful
cold, and went right into lung fever.
He didn't live week, an never knew
any body after the second day. When the
| funeral was over l began to remember
and to think what might happen again
without will; for Mr.. Jones had a
nephew, Jacob, who was an awful
graspin' man.
He came in the very next day, and
we looked over all Mr.. Jones papers,
but we couldn't find any. Then Jacob
spoke right up: Mis- Jones, you can
have your thirds, but you can't have
no more, for, legally, the rest goes
to me-
Mr.. Jones had been a real kind hus-
band, and | felt awful lonesome any
way. So just broke down and began
to cry. Jacob got up and went out; but
/ knew he'd come back, and he did the
next mornin', and brought lawyer
with him. They said we didn't need to
have an auction, and they'd give in a
good many of my things: but the best
of 'em must have price fixed, and then
Jacob put his hand on that chest of
drawers, and said this thing is worth
more than it was at first, but I'm will
ing to let it go for twenty-five dollars.
I'D got some money laid by me, and
| waited until things We're settled.

A C0L0RED WOMAN's HONESTY.

Big Sum of Money.

An EmpIoye In the National Treasury Saves
Big Sum of Money.
The Chautauquan.
One of the first women who was assigned
work in the Treasury building was colored
woman, Sophie Holmes by name.
One night when Sophie was sweeping the
refuse papers in her room she found box of
greenbacks that had been cut, counted and
packed to transfer to the vaults, and had
been accidentally overlooked. She did not
dare call the watchman for fear he would be
tempted beyond resistance. She thought of
her four small children at home alone with
no one to give them their supper or put
them to bed, but the one duty that stared
her in the face was to protect that money;
she sat down upon the box and quietly
waited for the hours to 60 by.
At o'clock in the morning she heard the
shuffling step of General Spinner in the
corridor, and heard him open the door to
his room. She quietly slipped along the
corridor, knocked at his door, and told him
what she had found. The General had the
box taken to his room, and sent Sophie
home in his carriage. The next morning
when she returned she found the General
still keeping guard. That night he sent for
her and placed in her hand her appointment
papers. given for honesty, and for 80 years
she has earned and drawn her 500 per
month.
Fifty thousand dollars was in this box.
At another time she found $4,000, tor
which the testimony can be seen over Cen
eral Spinner's own handwriting.

BEAVER FALLS, July 29.-The working
mans mass meeting at the Sixth Avenue
Theater, under the auspices OF the Amalga-
mated Association, was quite success, de-
spite the poor weather. Over 1000 persons
were present, among whom were several
ladies'
Leonard Broome, manager of the Art Tile
Works, presided, and Alfred Thornton, of
the Amalgamated Association, introduced
the speakers, who were John P. Shinn, Vice
President of the Amalgamated Association;
William 7. Roberts, and William Lynch, of
Homestead; Emanuel Shillo, of Lawrence
Vile; William Pike, Harry Goldsmith, Dr.
Lockwood, Marshall Watson, L. G. Lewis
and Mr.. Broome, all of Beaver Falls.
Hugh O'Donnell and Burgess McLuckie
were not present. The speeches were to the
point and were received enthusiastically.
The speakers, as rule, advised the men to
be law-abiding, but to stand firm. The meet
ing adjourned at 1880 o'clock with three
rousing cheers for the Homestead working
men.
Affairs at the mills have been quiet and
nothing Of more than ordinary interest has
occurred. The wire-drawers were requested
to take away their tools, as the firm wished
to give the mill thorough cleaning up.
All the wire On hand will be sold.
Some little excitement was created to-day
BY the appearance of smoke from the rod
mill, but it was afterward learned that 1t
was caused by firing up to raise steam to
pump the water out of the belt pits. The
men still guard the mill and watch the
trains, and are still as determined as ever.

DRAWBACKS TO EMIGRATION.
Human Transpiantation Is Apt to Cause
Ve.y Much Trouble.

Human Transpiantation Is Apt to Cause
ve.y Much Trouble.
The Chautauquan.
Every sapling, every flower, droops for
a while in new SOIL 1t willis, and seems on
the point OF dying. 1t takes long before it
puts forth new roots and leaves and can
draw its nourishment freely from the richer
environment. 1t may, il the conditions be
favorable, in the course of time, develop
a vigor and lustihood which it never could
have drawn from the old soil. But (like
the finer qualities of European grapes
which have become acclimated) it will lose
its subtlest bloom and fragrance. It will
become q coarser, cruder more favorless
product.
Human transplantarion is apt to involve
a similar loss. A man really belongs only
to the country of his birth. There are the
spiritual soil and the climate most CON-
pIetely adapted to his needs. There alone,
If anywhere, can he reach full and perfect
forescence. What he would attain else
where (though it need not be mean) will al
ways be much below the climax of his
powers. Therefore, if he be wise, let him,
like Ulysses OF old, close his ears to those
alluring siren voices in the western wind
that would entice him across the seas

those who are born here. But the immi-
grant, through no fault of his own, was not
born here, and can never fully reconquer
here the birthright which he forfeited at

The Ingenious Way in Which . Legless
Gymnast Moves Around.

Jules Keller is the name of a famous
gymnast who makes use Of his arms for the
purposes most people use their legs With
his hands he does all sorts of difficult things
walks, jumps, slides, perhaps dances and
skates as well. His hands are not calloused,
but smooth, firm and supple.
Jules Keller is about 26 years old. He
was born of poor parents in Prussia. When
a lad he was apprenticed to trapeze per-
former. At that time Jules had the use of
a good strong pair of legs, and used them to
advantage. When he was alb out ~ years of
age, he was performing in st. Petersburg
with his master, who used to catch him as
he swung off trapeze. One night his mas
ter failed to catch poor Jules, who fell 90
feet, striking upon his legs and back. They
carried him home to his mother. and every
one thought he was going to die.
But instead of dying, Jules recovered. He
got back little of the sense of feeling in
his legs and feet, though he never would be
able to walk upon them again. The strength
which was crushed out of them found its
way into his arms and hands.
He lay in bed three years. Then, to help
himself, he began practicing walking and
moving about upon his hands, with his help
less legs balanced in the air. He practicsl
until he was sure that his body would fol-
low unerringly the order of his fingers.
Then he resolved to utilize his new ability.
He was able to run up and down stairs on
his hands, and also slide down baluster.
He sought and found public engagement
to exhibit this "baluster feat" OF all the
feats which this young man has since
learned, this remains the most popular.
Perhaps he never would have thought of
doing these odd things if his cruel misfor-
tune had not forced him to find some way to
help himself But the same thing has hap
pened to others besides Jules Keller-that
what seemed at first the hardest thing in
their lives becomes the cause of their final
success.

NEW USES FOR ELECTRICITY.

1t Is Urged as an Excellent Means to Kill
OF the Mosquitoes.
'In measure, akin to the use of electric
ity in furthering chemical operations are the
recently reported experiments on passing
currents through the soil in which plants were
growing" says Prof Elihu Thomson in the
July New England Magazine 'The reported
results are that plants so treated developed
much more rapidly than others similarly
placed, but which did not receive the effect
of current Future tests will undoubtedly be
made on this important subject, and should
the results be confirmed and prove to be
economically obtained, the outcome may be
the establishment of electrical farms and
we may yet partake of early electrical vege-
tables, even if we do not find pommes de
terre la dynamo or asperges electriques on
our bill of 1are.
eff electricity may be found useful in
favoring the growth of plants under suita-
BILE conditions, may it not also be found
useful in limiting the number Of insect
pests?
Now we can make netting of a warp
of fine metal wires and welt of silk
threads, arranging it SO that every alternate
wire is respectively connected to the posi-
tive and negative pole of small induction
coil capable of giving a small spark and yet
OF sufficient force to pass from wire to wire
in the fabric. 1t is safe to say that an in
sect, such as fly or mosquito, alighting on
such a surface, would receive his quietus,
or be electrocuted strictly in accordance
with New York methods. To 60 farther
than this it may be suggested that electric
ity applied in some proper way may event
ually be found capable of destroying bac-
terra or microbes, now known to be the
cause of disease so destructive to animal
and even vegetable life"
