UTILIZING FRUITS.

October is the month for utilizing
the late fruits, and in no way can it
better be done than by making jellies.
Grapes of all kinds are now in per-
lection. For Jelly, they should not be
over-ripe.
Select firm, perfect punches; pick
off the stems, put the grapes in pre-
serving kettle, add very little water
and set them over fire. When they
come to boil, strain, measure the
juice, and for every pint allow three
quarters of a pound of sugar. Put
the juice over fire, let it come to a
boil, add the sugar, stir until dissolv
ed; let it cook ten minutes; take up
in glasses; let cool and cover with
paper.
Ounces come next to grapes as
fall fruit for jelly. To make it, peel,
quarter and core; put in a kettle,
cover with water and let cook till ten
der. Put in a jelly-bag and let drip
the juice, put on fire to heat, adding
a pound of sugar to every pint, and
let boil two or three minutes. Take
up in glasses, cover and set in a cool,
dry place. In making ounce jelly be
sure and remove the seeds from the
fruit, or the jelly will be ropy.
Pear jelly is made exactly like
ounce, but requires a little longer
boiling after the sugar is added. APP
pie jelly can be made at all seasons,
but fall fruit is best for the purpose.
All varieties of apples, except the
sweet kinds, will be found to jelly
readily. Take any tart apples, wipe,
cut into pieces without pairing. Put
into a preserve kettle and boil slowly
until the apples are tender; drain
through jelly bag. Put the juice into
a porcelain kettle and let come to
boil; add the sugar, stir until dissolv-
ed and let cook rapidly until it jellies,
which should be in about twenty min
utes. When ready, put in glasses and
set in a cool place.

silver
Clean the backs of chairs that have
been soiled by the head with kero-
sene.
Oil your machine with it when it
runs hard, then oil it with machine
oil after having worked it for half an
hour.
Mix kerosene with wood ashes and
it will scour tins with very little trou-
BILE.
When boots and shoes have been
hardened by water, apply kerosene to
them and they will become soft and
pliable.
Grained wood should be washed
with cold tea, and then, after being
wiped dry, rubbed with linseed oil.
A thin, fat piece of charcoal bound
tightly on a superficial burn will re-
lieve the pain almost Immediately.
Soft towels for the face and rough
or coarse towels for the hands and
feet is a good rule for both complex
ion and circulation.
A housekeeper gives the assurance
that flies dislike sassafras and will not
settle on or even near it. Her plan is
to brush over the windows every
morning with little oil of sassafras
and provide a way of escape for the
flies.
A shoe that is uncomfortable from
pinching may be fixed by laying a
cloth wet in hot water across the

it grows cooler, for number of times.

People Have High Examples
In Using These Remedies.

There never q time when patent pro-
prietary medicines were so popular and so
widely used by everybody as at present.
Years of experience have demonstrated the
great benefit of these remedies. They cure;
hence it is not matter of wonder to learn
through the most direct and reliable official
sources, that in her recent illness, Queen
Victoria, the great Queen of England used
and was greatly benefited by such remedy.
Other crowned heads have undoubtedly done
the same. Thus we see that the wisest those
with the best opportunity to Judge, and rich
in unlimited resources, are convinced of the
curative qualities of these medicines. With
ability to procure the best medical talent in
the world, this renowned Queen preferred a
genuine remedy which had cured so many
people, whose testimonials she had read
Among all those which rare genius, after
long years of study and experiment, has DIS
covered, there is none equal to DR.. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy.
Kings, queens, noble and peasant, the high
as well as the low, alike employ and are cured
by this grand remedy, especially at this sea-
require this purifying and invigorating med
icine. Let others follow these illustrious ex
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy.
1t is this you need. 1t is this which will sure
ly make you well and strong.
Mrs. Charles H. Heaton, residing at 143
State Street, Montpelier, VT, is of the very
highest social position. She says:
t'Two years ago we had terrible experience
with La Grippe, and by overwork in taking
of my children and the results of the
disease I was left in very exhausted condi-
ton, in fact nearly Frustrated, was
weak that upon the least excitement would
feel nauseated. I near nervous pros
tration any one could be.
Someone recommended DR.. Greene's Nerv-
ura blood and nerve remedy to me and I i'm
mediately began it's use. L am happy to say
that it completely cured me. Think it is the
best medicine I ever knew of for any form of
nervous chronic disease. | have recon-
mended it to many and shall do so upon every
occasion"
If you are nervous, weak, tired, s1eep1ess,if
you have headache, Indigestion, kidney or
liver complaint, poor blood and weak nerves,
you surely regain your health and be
well as you ever were by taking DR.. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy.
The strengthening and curative powers of
this remedy is wonderful. Use it and you will
be made well and strong. 1t is the discovery
of DR.. Greene, the most successful specialist
in curing nervous and chronic diseases. He

During dangerous weather of this
Sort" said the old doctor, "the most
careful persons are apt to catch cold
in their chests that will extend swift
ly to the lungs if not attended to. 1t
usually makes its presence known by
a CONSTRUCTED sensation just under the
breastbone, where the flesh is the
thinnest. When person experiences
this feeling he can rest assured that
he can procure almost instant relief
by drinking cup of water as hot as
he can bear to take in his mouth and
swallow. There is no better medicine
in the world to arrest the progress of
a cold than hot water, and, besides
its effect upon the stomach and the
system generally, it is beneficial in
the highest degree. And in sore throat
the remedy will be found almost a

DEPEW CHANGED HIS MIND.

Chancey Depew's favorite college
tale is OF time that he spent away
from college: "I was a student at
Yale" said he to a writer for the
Philadelphia Press, Gin my Freshman
year. But, somehow, though liked
college afterwards, I was homesick at
first, wanted to get back home. L am
going to be farmer, I said to my
self, and farmers won't have to know
Virgil and Xenophon. I got leave of
absence some way or other, and went
home. Father said bursting in
upon the household at dinner [ have
come back to you.'
$50 see,' said my father.
Father began, trying to think
of the speech had prepared on the
cars, L like the free life of the air;
like Mother Earth. I want to be a
farmer
"MY dear old mother groaned as L
said this and seemed to be ashamed
to be linked with the choice I was
making, but I went on. I have left
college. Father, I have come back
"'Draw up your CHAIR said father,
and have some nice, wheat porridge.
Of course, you will not care for any of
this cityfied pastry your mother
persists in making, nor any Southern
fruits. Farmers must eat what they
raise
"NeXt morning, father sent me out
to pull weeds in the field all by my
self, [ was to weed about two miles of
onion beds, straddling the rows of
onions as pulled the weeds out. I
was tired at night, and as I lay my
self down thought of my dormitory
room and wondered if my chum had
thrown away my pictures yet. Next
day I carried a chain to mark out
seed droppings, and the third day
picked up stones in field. Abner,
our hired man, for some reason, would
not chat with me, and it was horribly
lonesome. That night said, father,
I guess I'd better go back to school,
and if [ hurry to catch the train, I'll
be there before my leave of absence
is over, and then they'll let me come
home again-if I want to- But by
next vacation I was the most enthus
iastic college boy that ever cheered
for his colors."

THE NAUTCH DANCER.

The tent was already densely pack
ed with Hindoo spectators, a line of
statuesque torch bearers stood around
long carpet, and at the end of the
carpet lay a pile of cushions under
canopy, all of gold worked crimson
velvet. This was the Rai abs place,
but as he had sent word that he could
not be present, the music struck up
when our party had seated themselves
in a row of chairs on a raised plat
form at the right. Then the dancing
egan-dances by several bayaderes,
and single dances accompanied with
song or recitative, ending with a per-
Torrance by the court actors. After
preliminary ballet, in which two or
three took part, dainty little per-
zelle- eyed enveloped in a flmy cloud
of black and gold gauze, which float
ed airily about her; she was the liv-
ing incarnation of the Nautch, as in
terpreted by the sculptors Of Chitor:
from the air of laughing assurance
with which she surveyed her assem-
bled subjects, it was evident that she
was accustomed to homage and sure
of conquest. She held her audience
absorbed and expectant, by the mo-
notonous and plaintive cadence of
her song, by long chances full of in
tense meaning from half closed eyes,
and by swift changes of expression
and mood, as well as by the spell of
''woven PAGES and of waving arms"
One may see many a Nautch with
out retaining such a vivid impression;
much of it's force was owing,no doubt,
to the fitness of the place and the
charm of strange accessories, the I'M
certain glare of the smoking torches,
the mingling of musky odors with the
overpowering scent of altar of roses,
and of whiting jasmine flowers; these
perfumes were intensified in the close
air of the tent by heat of the night
the prelude of the fiercer heat which
comes with the morning and the ris-
ing of the hot wind-Harper's Maqa-
zine.

THE QUESTION OF SOUND.

In The UNIvERsALIsT of December
18th, l note that Bro. Gorton ques-
tions the statement of Prof. Holder in
his article, "How Animals Talk" that
"sound travels very slowly under
water and with difficulty" The com
ments of Bro. Gorton, after detailing
his personal experience, which so
widely differed from that of Prof.
Holder, closes with this question:
what is the scientific truth about
the matter2" Turning to a number
of standard scientific books in my Ii
brary, some of them in English and
some in German, I find the follow
ing detailed information in reply to
the query:
The first careful scientific expert
ments with reference to the velocity
OF sound in water were made in 1927
by Colladon and Sturm. The results
were published in detail in Poggen-
dahls Annals, Volume xii, page 1873
These experiments of 1927 have been
confirmed by subsequent investiga-
ton. The variation noted in the re-
suits secured in different experiments
show that velocity of sound in liquids
varies with density of the liquid, the
lighter the specific gravity the less
rapid the velocity. The temperature
of the liquid at the time of the exper-
iment and also the pressure of the
barometer, all have an effect upon
this velocity. The general facts re-
lating to the subject can be gathered
from almost any large standard work
on physics or from most of our ency-
clopedias. From one of these quote
the following: "The velocity of sound
in air is 1893 feet second. Colladon
and Sturm in 1927 found the velocity
in the water of Lake Geneva at 81
degrees centigrade to be 470S feet or
four times the velocity in air. Sub
sequent experiments have shown this
velocity in river water (Seine) at 13
degrees Centigrade to be ALA feet,
at 30 degrees 5013 feet The velocity
in ether at "a degrees is 1901 feet
while in turpentine at % degrees it is
3076 feet" From these facts it can
be seen that Bro. Gorton is right and
not Prof. Holder. L. G. Powers.
