Put on the plums with barely enough
water to start them cooking, and as soon
as the fruit heats sufficiently for the
juice to run lift from the fire and strain
through bag without squeezing. Meas
ure the juice, and place over the fire and
allow it to boil 90 minutes before put
ting in the sugar. Allow a pound of
sugar to pint of juice, and if the sugar
be placed in the oven and thoroughly
dried and heated before is is added the
jellying process will be much hastened,
and the shorter the time required for
cooking the lighter and prettier will
be the color of the jelly. As soon as the
juice boils up after the sugar is put in,
try little in a spoon and see if it jel
lies. though frequently it will be found
to jelly round the edges Of the kettle
before it will IN the spoon. When the
first sign Of jeIlying appears. remove at
once from the fire, pour into clear thin
jelly glasses aud place il the sun until
cold and sufficiently thick and firm.
after which cover closely with parch-
ment paper, and keep the jelly in dry,
cool, dark closet.

of these foundations are fitted with glass
for the protection Of the photographs.
In many of the shops the frames are sold
with stamped linen cover to be en-
broidered and applied to the frame
when worked in colored silks and
pressed. Some frames are covered with
brocade and others with silk. The Jap
anese variety of cotton Grape, with
splashed gold pattern of sunbursts, also
gives pretty effect.
To begin with the foundation. first
select the material, and if the frame is
to be of embroidered linen cut piece a
trifle larger than the frame. In cover
ing this foundation it is we'll to cover
first with a layer Of sheet wadding.
Glue the wadding in place. and then the
cover proper must be put on, care being
taken that the embroidered design is in
the right place and that none of the
glue gets OF the face of the frame. Draw
the cover over the foundation as tightly
as possible, gluing the edges to the back
of the frame with good glue. Set it
away until the glue is dry. Then cut
out the opening for the picture, leaving
enough of the goods TO hold firmly, but
not enough to be clumsy in turning
over the edge of the opening. Glue
these edges down inside the frame, place
the glass in position and fastsn with
pasted paper.
Another style Of frame is made which
while being pretty is without the pro-
tective qualities of those just described,
but it is made much more easily by any
one who can paint. Buy heavy water
color cards with rough, irregular edges
ragged edges-and also a sheet heavy
enough to be used for the backs of the
frames and also for the supports. In the
center of each card draw accurately
form large enough to show the photo
graph to good advanta then cut out
with q sharp knife A number of these
cards decorated with the same flowers
and fastened together with a harmonic
ing ribbon are q pretty addition to the
walls of a chamber, or a single one
mounted and backed with cardboard
and having a supporting strip to keep it
standing looks pretty on either book
case or manteL In gluing on the backs
to these frames leave the top open, so
that the photograph may be slipped in
to place.
In addition to the foregoing general
directions The Ladies' Home Journal IL
Illustrates some special designs, among
which is the vatican fan frame This
is especially intended for making IN
cardboard on account of the serrated
edges. The bowknots and flowers are
in colors. the scrolls and the shade lines
in gold. This frame can either hang or
be furnished with a support for stand
ing.
Another frame illustrated by the au-
thority quoted represents novel appli-
cation of the plain glass frame. It is
composed entirely of glass. cabinet size,
bound all around with ribbon. Each
flap is formed of two pieces of glass, Sc
cured on three sides by sewing the rib
bon bindings together. Any number of
flaps can be made. They, in turn, are

Canning Pears.

Select sound, perfect fruit, and be
sure it is not too ripe. Peel and cut in
halves or quarters as you prefer. Re
move the core and throw into cold wa
ter; prepare sirup, allowing a pound
of sugar TO pounds of fruit; use twice
as much water as sugar for the strip.
If the pears are very hard. steam them
a few moments before putting them in
the strip; if they are mellow, put them
in the strip and cook slowly until ten
der; lift out carefully and put in glass
jars and screw covers on after the can
is filed full of fruit and strip.
To preserve the pears: Prepare the
same as for canning. Weigh the fruit,
and allow nearly as many pounds of
sugar as of fruit, dissolve with little
water. and when it comes TO a boil skim
we'll. add the fruit and cook slowly.
Watch closely that it does not burn.
Fill glass cans Or small stone jars with
the fruit and strip. If IN jars, cover
with white paper sealed over the jar.

Technical practice should be free from
tilnidity. Careful thought and strict
method should never cramp endeavor.
The pupil should venture, nothing
doubling, and the teacher should kindly
encourage his self trust. Good tone is
greatly the outcome of muscular plastic
ity. It is doubtless a law that stiff
strokes and rigid fibers force hard tone,
and timber strokes and loose fbers elicit
mellow tone. A sympathetic touch is
to have something of mental prepare
ton and must be realized by perfect
cooperation of all the joints of the fin
cers, a loose but even wrist and plastic

Equality of finger power is to be at
tanned. firstly, by horizontal hand, al
ways avoiding the shed roof dip toward
the little finger, and. secondly. by much
practice of accent exercises in various
positions. and especially in scales and
arpeggios, as in Mason's method. The
practice Of full arpeggio chords. with
clear, even, rapid movement, holding
down every finger struck until all are
raised simultaneously, is very useful.
Pure finger strokes should be cultivated
to the ability of playing even powerful
chords with thela alone. The flexible
independent action of the thumb is very
necessary and should be sedulously at

spasmodic hit would bring out louder
sound than would the slow tread Of an
elephants foot The left hand should
be well trained not only for its own
works sake, but because it will be less
liable to hamper execution with the
right. The bass strings require more
strength of touch than do the treble.
The lowest note of a chord in the bass
should be well heard, and ciphers and
inequalities in the other notes should
be avoided by putting each key prompt
~ and entirely down. In ordinary chord
playing both hands should strike exact
~ together. In slow movements anna
teurs are quite apt to let the left hand

Waste Of motion on staccato notes and
chords should be Stunned. The hand
should not, after rising, fall with a
threatening motion toward the keys,
but rather retain its upwardness for the
next stroke. Elastic upward spring in
short touches and piquant notes should
be under full command, and the hand
never allowed to fall on them like a
lump of putty Extensions should be
patiently done little every day. with a
very gradual increase of width, until
after several months or year the fully
grown hand can play fourth easily
with any two fingers.
AS to the number of hours one should
employ in technical practice much will
depend Oh the physical endurance of the
player. When freshness and vigor seem
to wane, it is best to take an intermis-
sion. One hour Of work with intense at
tention and studious tact is worth more
than four hours of drowsy dawdling.

much better, SO the present patent will
be welcome.
This is not chopper, but a sharp
circular knife which revolves upon a
steel pin and is simply used by rolling
it backward and forward over or
through the substance under treatment.
This is a great advantage over the clumsy
straight machine, with which the up
stroke was practically wasted. The cut
ting edge is keener and the action is
naturally absolutely silent. Finally,
the fact that it is rolled instead of
beaten down upon the board produces
much lighter mincing, and in the case
of herbs, ETC., retains the flavor and
freshness of the leaf without bruising
it, as heavier instrument would do.
