A Feature of the Housewives Work.


This is the season when the thrifty man
ager of the household is putting up the de-
licious jams and canned berries that SO
help to tickle the pslstes Of those who sit
at the household board says writer In the
kennebec Journal. Numberless recipes
are carefully conned and not iufrequently
the good housewife tries few ideas of
her own, often sensible ones
The art of canning is now carried to
such perfection aud Is so necessary in any
well-ordcred household where the oppor-
tunity is afforded, that it would be difficult
to find those with any pretenslons 10 skill
in housewifery who are not also skilled in
this important branch.
We take from an exchange some Sug-
gestions that sppesr To be valuable, aud
which some Of our readers will doubtless
like to read if not TO practice it.
For some purposes jams are delicious,
when properly made. Use choice. fruit,
graduated sugar. esrthen vessels, porce-
lain-lined or agate kettles aud wooden
ladies when making. aud keep il in pint
fruit jars, or 10 bowls, and cover with par
aillne. Wash the fruit, a. for canning
look over carefully, weigh. sud TOR every
pound OF Strawberries or red ra>pberries
allow three frurths Of pound Of sugar,
and for currant> an equal weight Of sugar
Place the sugar in a pan Ia the oven TO
become very hot. Stand the preserving
kettle on the stove over slow Dire. add

After lunch, the whole party repaired
to the church at the welcoming sum-

Christmas in Bethlehem. WHAT
memories, what sacred traditions the
words evoke. Where else can the
feast of Christmas be so sublime and
divine? Where else can mortal leel
himself so near to his God?
Bethlehem is always crowded WITH
strangers from every part OF the world
on Christmas Eve. They come there
pilgrims of piety or curiosity along
the romantic and singular route from
Jerusalem. and spend the night In the
holy ceremonials, departing the next
day.
The smart merchant from New York
CITY elbows the Russian landlord from
the Volga or the Montenegrin with his
belt filled with ancient daggers and
pistols. The Turkish soldiers keep or
der with perfect good humor and with
a certain contemptuous indifference
which is apt to tell a little upon the
nerve of pious Occidentals, when they
observe it for the first time.
The Church of the Nativity is the
goal of all these pilgrims. Certainly
this is the most interesting place II

Christia.; factions meet at a common
source, and there they learn tolerance
of and respect for each other.

stable of the nativity with wood sa-
cred to Adonis, and even had the wor-
ship of Venus publicly celebrated
there. Two centuries later the plous
Helena raised church, and of the an
Gent stable of course nothing abso-
lutely authentic remains.
Nothing is more singular in Holy
Land than the entrance to the sanctu-
ary of the Nativity. At the end OF
the struggling hamlet the treetspreads
out into an oblong square which opens
off an esplanade covered with great
stone flags. This is the "atrium" OF
the ancient basilica in the middle OF
which stood the baptismal cisterns for
the additions which the Christians of
old were required to practise before
entering church. A mass OF white
tombs walls in one side of the es-
planade: on the other arises a high
wall which might belong to convent or
prison. A few windows dot the wall
here and there. But there are no
signs of any door
After little search one finds a black
hole. like the entrance to a cavern, and
presently he sees people creeping into
it. almost on all fours. Now and then
the gallant Oriental ON guard will offer
his hand to lady to help her down.
That is the principal entrance to the
sanctuary of the Nativity. Doors were
suppressed in the days when Mahom-
medan intolerance was greater than 1t
is now, and when it was necessary to
wall up doors and to allow communica-
tion only with the upper stories, as the
monks in Mount Sinai do nowadays.
Gradually there grew up around this
basilica colony composed of the three
principal sects, the orthodox Catholics,
the Greeks. and the Armenians. and
converts were built in such numbers
that they overshadowed the church.
The interior, however, still reserves
its ancient form. Once out of the
gloomy entrance, one finds himself IN
great hall trayersed by four colon
nades and surmounted by a modern
roof, the beams of which appear.
Here and there, at the bases of huge
red monoliths, crowned with CORN
THAN capitals in framework of old
mosaics on gold background, people
are kneeling or sitting squatted on
their launches: soldiers of the Sultan
are peacefully patching their shabby
uniforms. women are nursing thell
babes, Franciscan and Greek monks

Places and of the Oriental Catnoncs,
and all governments in France care
fully keep it up. This privilege was
confirmed to France in 1882 by the Con-
gress of Berlin. The old ceremonial,
established br ordinances of Louis XIV,
has been strictly maintained. The To-
cal clergy pays royal honors to the
Consul of France, When he Is in-
stalled a TIE Deum is chanted.
In the professions at Bethlehem. at
the Holy Sepulchre and elsewhere the
blue cushion on which he is TO kneel is
carried before the Consul. On Christ
mas Eve the French Consul comes from
Jerusalem to Bethlehem TO take part
in the ceremonies Of the sacred festi-
val. The Turkish authorities place at
his disposition detachment OF caval-
~ and two officers, who escort him with
drawn swords. Surrounded by his
eight cavosses. ON horseback, IN their

marked with the name of the sect to
which it belongs.
There are stairways to the grotto
one belonging to the Latins, the other
to the Greeks. Not long ago the Ar
menians tried to enlarge their terri
tory in the church. They spread a
carpet on the flags belonging to them.
Next day the carpet had encroached a
little on the rival territory: the next
still more. The other sects saw the
trick, and in the night cut the carpet
in pieces.
