Directions FOR Making a Delightful Dish

Directions for Making 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 il 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
over night. In the morning drain of
the water that will have formed, rinse
the rinds in cold water, and cook them
in a steamer until 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 SKINNER, and putt them
into stone jar.
Take good cider vinegar for the basis
of the pickle. Allow pound of sugar
to 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 quart of vinegar is usu-
lilly sufficient for the rinds of 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 OF
saucer, fasten che cover on, and tie a
cloth over the whole. These pickles
will be ready for use in two weeks

The German boy, up TO his eighteenth
or ninteenth year, when he leaves
school, is looked upon merely as ma
chine for grinding out Latin, Greek
and mathematics. If he has in each
week two or three hours devoted to
gymnastic exercises, he considers him
self fortunate 1t never enters his
head that he should spend at least three
hours day in outdoor games of some
kind. His teachers hold up their
hands in horror at the idea of dcvoting
so Ihuch attention to the physical cul-
ture of their pupils as to the examining
of their minds with dead knowledge.
Even my excellent German tutor who
fitted me for Yale, and was himself
teacher of gymnastics, regarded IL as
monstrous that boys should spend two
or three hours day playing football
or rowingl The whole professional

Hohenzollerns, regards this emperor

A very attractive entertainment
called leaf social was given by the
young people of little country town

books for their library
Leaves were cut from green cambria
to resemble those of different forest
trees and garden plants. There were
two of each kind. One was given by

large box. When the company had
arrived the leaves in the box were
shaken and sold to the gentlemen.

leaf which she had pinned to her dress,
which must resemble exactly that pur-

thread veining. Much amusement was
found in the attempt to match the
leaves and the stiffness 40 noticeable
at many sociables was entirely over
come.
The table was decorated with leaves,
and at each plate was leaf cut from
white paper on which the one who sat
at that place must write a rhyme con-
tanning the name of the leaf and sign
his name to it. All who failed to write
the rhyme were required to pay fine
of ten cents
A lady gathered mp the paper leaves
before the guests left the table and
read the rhymes aloud without men,
tioning the name signed. Then a
vote was taken to decide upon the
two best rhymes, and the authors of
them each received "A beautiful house

There was table also presided over
by two eoung girls dressed in white
with garlands of green leaves. On this
t. ole there were exposed for sale pen

articles which could be made in form

written across the work. but IL was
very amusing To the spectators.
When the couple at the board had
finished another couple was blind

was left ON the board and when the
company tired of the play the board
looked more like a Chinese puzzle than
anything else. An appropriate prize
was awarded for the best drawing and
