GREEN GRAPE rnEsRRvE

Thetrouble necessary to the prepars-
ton of the old fashioned preserve
which I have to recommend ought not
to count, writes a correspondent. We
can't get something for nothing in this
world, and for certain toothsome
morsels we must have the patience of
our grandmothers as well as their cook
book.
1t will be easy to those living in the
country or those having their own
grape vines to procure green grapes.
But the most delicious grape preserve
I have ever tasted was made of fox
grapes that grew wild in stony
meadows. 1t is quite possible even
for those living in cities to get wild
grapes by bargaining with some
huckster or marketman at the right
time. The grapes should be bought
when they are still hard, before they
have softened in the least. but when
they have attained nearly or quite
their full size.
Having got your grapes, provide
yourself with @ small, sharp penknife,
and cut each grape in halt exactly as
you would an orange. Then remove
the seeds and throw the fruit into cold
water. 1t will take you all day to do
fourteen pounds, but the preserves
are worth the trouble,
Once seeded, the process is the same
IS for other fruit. Use granulated
sugar, allowing pound for pound.
Cook until the strip jellies when cool,
and seal in the ordinary manner.
This preserve is very rich and Of an
entirely different flavor from that
made Of ripe grapes, and is sufficiently
acid not to cloy, and is the best

The phosphorus match vas intro
dueed commercially In 1888. q little
more than sixty years ago. Up TO
that time the only match was the sui
phur match. This was a long splint
Of wood Upper with common, every
day sulphur. The wood selected for
the splints was Of 8 resinous charac-
ter, and the splints were cut of By
hand. Time, patience, and dry rim
der were required to light the old
fashioned sulphur match. The sparks
struck from the hint by the steel fell
into the finder. which was ~carbonized
lint of cotton or linen. The finder
caught the spark. IL the match lighter
was lucky, and presently the finder
would glow with enough heat to ignite
the sulphur, and the match was ig-
uited. Sometimes match paper, or
touch paper was used instead Of tin.
der. This was a thick blotting paper
im~pregnated with saltpeter.
An improvement IN the finder was
the phosphorus bottle, a little vial In
which a stick of phosphorus had been
stirred with a red-hot wire, so that the
inside Of the bottle was coated with
oxide of phosphorus. The bottle was
kept tightly corked until 1t was desir-
able to light a match. Then the cork
was quickly removed, the sulphur
match was plunged In, and when 1t
was withdraw n 1t was ablaze. The
next Improvement was the oxymuri-
ate match. This was a miniature chem
zeal laboratory, consisting Of a little
box with two apartments. In one was
a bottle In which was some asbestos
soaked in oil of yltriol. In other com
partments were the matches. The
splints. after having been dipped In
sulphur, were coated with a paste
made OF ehlorate of potash, gum and
sugar, and sometimes colored red, and
the match. when plunged into the as
bestos and oil of vitriol, was ignited.
Then came the lucifer matches, or loco
focos, which led up to all the varieties
used to-day.
Our young readers will hardly IN
derstand In all their particulars these
old-fashioned ways Of obtaining fire,
but they will least understand that hre
making was a much more difficult mat
ter In the times OF our grandparents
than it Is now, when all we have to do
Is to strike q match" and presto,
