Directions for Making a Delightful Di

Directions for Making 3 Delightful Dish.
Peel the rinds with a sharp knife that
will take off the green skin evenly.
Trim off also every trace of the pink
flesh of the fruit, because it is too
juicy to make a firm. crisp pickle.
Then cut the strips of rind into small
pieces two to three inches long, and
placing them in a large earthen dish,
sprinkle them lightly and evenly with
salt. Cover the dish, and let it stand
owe" night. In the morning drain off
the water that will have formed. rinse
the rinds in cold water, and cook them
in a steamer until a broom splint will
readily pierce them. Cooking the rinds
by steam is an easy method, as they
are less liable to burn than when
cooked in the spiced vinegar. When
the rinds are tender, take them out
carefully with a skinner, and put them
into a stone jar.
Take good cider vinegar for the basis
of the pickle. Allow a pound of sugar
to a pint of vinegar. and add also half
an ounce of stick cinnamon broken
into inch pieces, and Tablespoonful
each of whole cloves and blades of
mace. The whole amount of vinegar,
sugar, and spices used must of course
depend on the quality of rinds to be
picked, but a quart of vinegar is usu-
ally sufficient for the rinds of a me-
Diminished melon. Boil the vinegar,
sugar and spices together vigorously
half an hour, Swimming off the froth.
and pour the pickle boiling hot over the
rinds. Press the rinds down under the
pickle by means of an earthen plate or
saucer, fasten che cover on, and tie q
cloth wei the whole. These pickles
will be ready for use in two weeks

Renewing Silk.

To freshen a lace dress that looks
gray and slimpsy, brush with a very
soft brush that will not fret the lace,
sponge with tepid water containing a
little powdered borax or alcohol. Law
over a folded flannel and press on the
wrong side with a moderately-warm
iron. Sponge with a black wooden
cloth, and if you have it at hand lay
over the lace while pressing a piece OF
thin black silk. Waists of China and
wash silks may often be freshened by
sponging them with benzine or gaso-
oline. Use a flannel cloth and put in
the air until all the odor has disap-
peared. If such waists must be washed,
make a sud- of luke-warm water and
white soap and wash them quickly,
squeezing through the suds and rub
bling as little as possible. Rinse in a
slightly cooler water, and the second
time in water a few degrees cooler.
Do not use Any bluing.-N. Y. Post.

Church Money.

1t is said that the people of New Tea
land look down upon copper coins and
will never use them if they can help it.
An English clergyman who had one
day taken the place OF another preach
er in Auckland says hat in the collec-
ton of something over eight pounds
there were two hundred and fifty-six
three-penny pieces and only four
coppers.
1t is SO well understood that these
smaller silver coins will be used in
church collections that the threepenny
pieces have received a name.
One day a young lady wanted some
small change from a Chinaman, who
was the family grocer, and he drew out
a handful of coppers.
"Oh, no, / don't want that" she said.
"Ah, l see what missey wants. said
he. ''Churchy money!" And he hand
ed over a quantity of threepenny
pieces.-Youth's Companion.

THE C~ONQUERiNG SIGN.

That man alone is truly great
Whose heart is pure. whose aim is high,
And he may labor. strive or wait,
Assured of victory by and by.
The world applauds great deeds in war,
And it is well, if courage gains,
Mid wounds and death, the battle for
The right, and thus sweet peace attains.
But IN the mighty struggle where
Mar grapples with the hosts of wrong
Perchance alone he wrestles there
To aid the weak against the strong,
With none 10 cheer and none to bless,
Save his own heart serene with love
To God and man-ah, you confess
Such greatness is from heaven above.
Men have been known to bravely die
For those they loved, in peril great,
And this is noble impulse high
A worthy yielding to ones fate.
But he who, taking life in hand,
Goes forth amid disease and death
To strive and die in stranger land,
All, such an one more glory hath.
And yet not he the world admires
Alone shall win the Heavenly crown;
Nor he, who 10 be good aspires
BY throwing every evil down:
But he who in his inmost heart
The Fathers will would DC in love-
Vino chooseth this, the better part"
Shall dwell content in Heaven above.
