TICKLING AND PRESERVING.
Some of the Methods Suggested by Good
 Housekeeping of Putting Away Fruit.
Jcllies and jams, housewifely aids.

bOmC O1 the MeInouS suggested Dy Good
 Housekeeping of Putting Away Fruit.
 Pickles. preserves and marmalades,
 Jcllies and jams, housewifely aids.
 Thematter of pickling, preserving, can ming and otherwise using the available products of summer and autumn is a large, a very large one; hence few sug- gestions made at this time may be well come. The peach is favorite with most housewives, for if of good quality and properly handled it may be depended upon for flavor and attractiveness. Here is 8 recipe for preserving peaches:
 The peaches and sugar, of equal weight, are put into the kettle in layers beginning and ending with layer of sugar. Set over the fire, and a pint of water to each pounds of fruit and sug- ar is added. The sirup is brought to a boil, which continues for half an hour, when the peaches are taken carefully out and put on a flat dish in the sun. The sirup is boiled down till it is thick and clear, when the peaches are put back and boiled till they look clear, when the whole is ready for putting into the cans, which are sealed when cool.
 A dark rich jelly may be made with damson plums, which are to be stoned and skinned. The proportion of sugar is pound for pound" and the mixture is to be stewed us for jam. While 1t is stewing crack a few of the stones, peel the kernels and stew them among the fruit, to which they give pleasant flavor suggestive of almonds. The cook ing will be done ill 20 minutes, when the mixture is poured into molds, the top being covered with white paper which has been dipped in brandy.
 For pineapple marmalade use pound of sugar to pound of fruit and chop the pineapple into as fine bits as possible after peeling and coring it. Mix the sugar with it, and in the morning cook it for about half an hour At the end of this time it should be soft enough to put through puree sieve. Strain it in this way and return it to the preserving kettle. Continue cooking it, stirring it constantly, untilit is clear, amber color ed paste, which becomes firm when it is cold. It will take about half or three quarters of an hour longer. Cool it in earthen jars.
 Use only ripe fruit for peach pickles. Weigh after peeling. and for each 10 pounds of peaches take quart of vinegar, 4 pounds of sugar and as much mace, cloves and cinnamon or whatever spice is preferred as will give the desired flavor. Lay the peeled peaches upon the sugar for an hour; then drain of the sirup thus formed and add a cupful of water Bring this to boil and skim as long as any scum rises; then put in the peaches. boil for five minutes and lay them upon fiat dishes to cool. When cool, put them into jars. In the meantime add the vinegar and spices to the sirup, boil gently for l5 minutes and then pour it over the fruit in the jars. Protect from the at mosphere in an approved manner.

calls are apt 10 be pitched in the key of the mIsic. l remember one old chap who u.cd to fiddle for 90 cents a dance and sir; n'~ rlllS in sort of improvised do-G,rrl tn |, air he Was sawing out on his fidllr. Another would keep up a running comment in sort of nasal monotone which he would interrupt at the proper moment with the words of the calling:
 ''Stvp-r 4Et-alonS there ,Im-N an Bus. kirk. Don 't--tt-ou-the-lddy's 's-dress. All sashay! Wrl-done fust-rate- Robert
 'hnson you are -keepinE-step-A 1. La ..,s chan-c!' And so on.
 In the meantime there would be such a lively swinging of partners at corners, such cutting of pigeon wings at oppor tune moments and such eccentricities generally on ti.e part of the experts as greatly delighted all present. but would fill the breasts of the dancers at fash. ionable city aS>elnbiage with the most profound dislnay.
 The hop dances of today do not greatly differ from those of other days. though have heard of a series that was held i'll Ii mid New York state village ill rink this year where an earnest attempt was made to conform to urban ideals iu dancing and etiquette. The result was interesting. Sometimes dudes from the towns invade the hop dance and try |, mouopohze the attention of all the pret, tiest girls. When that happens. look out for storm. It won't do. however, to as, sume that it is always the dudes whC get the worst of it. although that is usu, ally the result of a contest between them and pickers. owing in some measure pos, sibly to the superior numbers of the pickcrs, who generally stick by eacl other.
 With variations the hop pickers of the east and west and of merrie, merrie Eng. land are alike "Goiu 'oppin' they cal of the 'oppers" are largely recruited from London and other cities as they are from cities here. In the state of Wash. ington Indians have done most of the picking till lately, when the Chinese be gan to take the places of the redskins. The hop picking Indians came from British Columbia and as far north as southern Alaska. crossing the straits of Fuca and the gulf of Georgia to get tc the hopfelds.
 In their way they fill the hours oi night with merriment the same as the white pickers of the east, but when the Chinese pick hops by day they sleep and smoke by night. Chinese hop pickers are not popular save with the owners of the yards.
 Hop picking is q healthy employment, and many persons engage i'll it for g season or two simply as a recuperative measure. As manual labor goes it pays well. and there are probably in every hop raising neighborhood whole families who earn almost all the money they ex- pend during the entire l2 months at hop picking time.

In its present form it is a very different and, it must be admitted, Il much better play, for it has been stripped of much of it's boisterouSneSs and thorough ly up-to-datcd.

 If the proposed place of amusement shall ever materialile, it will cut a wide swath into the receipts of the halls in New York, for their prices are not by any means pop ular' with a large class of persons who like to sit down and watch n fairly good variety performance while they sip beer and other liquid refreshments and smoke more or less good cigars and cigarettes.

serted for the day. and the sun has set, is fascinating enough to make it all mp. At least that Is what thousands of hop piCkers think about it.
 Clear skies and pure air are essential to successful hop growing, The hop must be planted and tended with great care. From the beginning to the har- vest and through the kiln to the market there is no cessation of anxiety A hop field just ready for picking i, one of the most beautiful spectacles that can be found anywhere. the vines greatly ex- ceeding in grace the vines of the grape As the golden wreaths of hops hang ripenlnG in the warm sunshine or swing in the breeze in parachute shaped cauo- pies they lend pictureSqueness to the fields that cannot be matched ill the vineyards of either the old or the new world.
 Until q comparatively recent date most of the hops grown ill North America were planted ill the state of New York, although there were small areas devoted 10 hop culture in New Jersey. Michigan, Canada and Wiscon- sin. More lately the Pacific coast has forged to the front as a hop producing region, and there are also now many fields of hops in Nebraska and Kansas. The hop district in England Is circum- scribed to the ''wealds of Sussex and Kent" Beyond their employment aS an ingredient of yeast and certain drug gists preparations the two or three hundred millions of pounds of hops that are yearly produced on this terrestrial ball are devoted to no other purpose than the brewing of beer, and il Is whispered in some quarters that certain substitutes for hops have been used even by the brewers.
 The ripening of the hops must be fol lowed by speedy picking if the crop is to be saved in good order, and of course pickers are in great demand at the open ing of the season. The pickers work in parties of four. usually at boxes divided so that each picker shall have a compart- ment. To them the pullers bring the uprooted vines still twined about the poles. From the vines the pickers stripthe golden green balls dropping thelninto the boxes for the tenders" to inspect The inspection is one of the most important portions of the work, fer as the pickerS are paid by the quantity of hops picked there is naturally a tendency to mingle leaves and pieces of vine with the pick ing. Tally is kept of the number of boxes filled by each picker. After box is full its contents are sacked" and taken to the kilns. where they are dried for 14 hours and subjected to the bleach ing agency of the fumes of sulphur. So much for the work. Now for tn, play.

To the former hop picking is period of hard work. considered only as such. and en- dured solely for the money there is in it. To the foreign picker" who. being away from home. is privileged to be little more dashing in respect of personal con duct, hop harvest seems to be primarily time of hilarity by night, with the working hours of the day thrown in as necessary excuse for the picker's pres ence and the support of that individual during the time of enjoyment.

 lottie Collins is simply irrepressible. When she danced tens of thousands of American dollars into her pockets last year with her "Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-aye." most of us thought that we had seen her for the last time. hut this was not to be. She is "in our midst" once more as the bright particular star of n variety company, which is at the Star theater, and she has made al most as great hit with her song Mar guerite" and its saccompanyingd dance as she did last year with 'Ta-ra-ra."
 Miss Collins success in New York this time would seem to indicate that she is really a meritorious variety "artist" and not merely the accidental creation of n song which happened to become immensely pop ular. She k now appealing for patronage on her merits and is so disinclined To sing the ditty which made her famous that the other night, in response to repeated encoreS and calls for it, she would only come before the curtain and warble the well known repetition in Il commonplace manner.
 It was reported that Miss Collins would head company of her own in farce com edy respectfully written for her." but since her arrival here nothing more has been said of this >Chcme-at least not for publi. Cation-and as show people are not cele- brated for reticence with regard to their plans when a newspaper paragraph is to be the reward it is not too much to assume that the plan has been abandoned. at least for the present. By the way. Miss Collins younger sister, Marie, has made quite a hit at the Imperial Music hall
 The late Marie Prescott was probably never prominently identified with but a single really great failure, and that was the one enterprise of which, strangely enough, more was expected than anything else with which she Was connected in the whole course of her stage career. This megathcrian failure was Oscar Wilde's Vera" which was put on at the Union Square theatcr in this city with a disre- gard of eXpeuSe seldom seen in those days and at time, too, when the star of the apostle of asthcticism was decidedly in Ahe ascendant.

Miss Oracle Emmett is another star for the coming season. The experience will, however not be a new one, for she has been there many a time" The vehicle for Miss Emmett's stellar experiment k such ls Life" a comedy drama written by herself for the purpose of exploiting her well known abilities in the line of character act ing. Miss Emmetts services have always been in demand, and yet fate has not been o'erkiud to her. She was born and edu- cated in Buffalo, where her mother still lives
 Her first appearance on the stage was made as n member of the Academy stock company at the age of l3. Then, follow ing her natural bent and tempted by the larger remuneration. she went into the variety business, where she remained for seven years, She started her gradual march back to the drama in company which presented a travc>ty on The CorsicAn Brothers" This engagement was followed by several of q similar nature. when she became star in repcuory, playing small towns only. She next was starred m "A Soap Bubble, Beacon Lights" "MuGg' Landing" The Shauty Queen, "A Barrel of Money" "A Mile a Minute" and other plays of that kind. She says thaI her pref erence is for work of higher order, but that she realizes that the demand Is for the sensational at present, and she therefore bows to the inevitable.

the interior of Africa by her freaks and
fancies Of dress. One morning she will
appear late at breakfast with short

the same afternoon she will don heavy,
rich brocade velvet, a 10 pompadour,
with voluminous draperies and gorgeous
ornameutation, and in the evening a
butterfly costume of thin gauze adorns
her shspely figure. while her hair is ar
ranged in q pillar of fiuffs and frizzes,
which much resemble the careless coif-
fure of the South Sea islander.
She has hunting costume of green

and oxidized silver passementerie; a
Watching costume of blue and white
serge; . bicycle rig, which she wears
when no bicycle is In sight; q billiard
dress Of royal purple and gold, pedes-
