cago 10 prevent suffering because of lack
of work. Shelter Will not be hard To
provide, clothing may be had with com.
parative ease, but food and fuel will be
difficult TO obtain. Starvation in the
midst of plenty is, indeed. a deplorabIe
condition. And one, too, for which the
starving on the one hand, and the ina.
bihty of those who have an abundance
Of food products 10 get them upoa the
market, are not in any way responsible
The whole trouble comes, not through
those who earn their bread by to!l and
those who produce wealth: but through
those who speculate in money. This
state OF case makes the situation exas-
peraiing in the extreme. aud while acts

The Mnco Minstrel still sticks to its

reservation is public domain of the United

but they have not been officially opened

was raised this year, but in many cases

STRAWBERRY SUN PRESERVES.
How They Are Made in the Old Virginia
Houses and How They Taste.

Houses and How They Taste.
1t is curious fact, but well known
to scientific folks and to experienced
housewives, that the direct action of
the sun is at once Surer and more salts
factory than that of any other known
heat.
So when you learn it is tradition of
old Virginia cookery to preserve straw
berries in the sun in place of over the
stove there is little occasion for sur
prise, but only an opportunity to real
ize how much those famous cooks can
teach.
The berries treated after the follow
ing recipe are both richer and more
perfect than those prepared in any
other way.
The object of the glass is Of course
only that of concentrating the heat,
and the effect is not dissimilar to that
known to every child who has played
at the old trick of burning the skin by
catching one of old Soils rays upon a
bit of broken glass.
The peculiar purity of the sweetness
combined with the succulent redness
in this sun-cooaed preserve gives sug-
eestion OF some oriental conserve: and
were it possible to consider such an
anomaly. the fruit might be described
by the term Liquid capitalization.
The berries seem to be permeated
with the suns sweetness in addition to
their own. and the strip becomes rich,
pure and clear as strip can be.
The berry retains its shape and comes
unbroken from the jar, which alone is
cause sufficient for recommending this
especial preserve.
The Virginia rule requires three
quarters of pound of sugar to pound
of strawberries.
The sugar is mixed with just enough
water to wet it and put it on to boil
1t is TO be taken OF before i: thickens
much. and poured over the strawber-
ries Then the berries are set IN the
sun two DAYS. covered with pane Of
glass They are occasionally stirred
On the third day pour off the sirup
and boil 1t again--it will De found much
thinned by the juice of the fruit
While boiling drop in lump OF alum
the size of the top of Fonr little niger.
Pour the hot strip over the berries and
set in the sun again under glass
The next day pour all into the pre-
serving kettle and boil until the berries
stamp up. Then set IN the sun again
for day The next morning seal the
preserve In small jars with branded pa
per on top

The New York Sun calls attention to
the fact that not one of the so-called
higher critics" of the scriptures has
taken part IN any Of the great summer
camp meetings or rerivals. and that
only the preachers of the Old foundation
OF scriptural inspiration have been in
attendance and taken part in these great
meetings. This Is an encouraging aug
ury for substantial progress in the life
of the church and the spread of the
gospel Ia It's prestine simplicity.

About the only clearly defined point
brought out by the vote in congress,
Monday, on the silver purchase repeal
bill is that of the attitude of the different
sections of the country on the silver
question. No section was a unit, but
the preponderance of the votes of west
ern and southern representatives were
for silver, while the eastern people were
more nearlya unit on the other side.
