THE AUTuMNAL PICKLE,
Helpful Hints for Those Who Have
Pickles to Prepare,


The simplest and most economical
way to prepare cucumber pickles from
ones own garden is to pick them each
day when they attain the proper size
and pack them down in salt. By this
means pickles of uniform size can be
obtained and none are wasted. The
best size for pickling is a small cucum-
ber. not over two inches long. This
size makes u crisp, green pickle if it is
properly handled. Cucumbers that are
sailed down will keep all winter, ant so
or 100 can be freshened any time ond
picked.
When one must depend on the market
for cucunbers to pickle, it is better to
do ali the work at once. Select snail
pickle eucumbers of uniform size. lay
them for three days in brine strong
enough to bear up potato. Some
housekecpcrs soak their cucumbcrs in Il
weaker brine and leave them in only 81
hours. This is not enough 70 extract
the crude strong juices of the veg
ctable, which must be drawn out before
they are 1T for picking. Wash them
at the end Of three days and taste them;
II they are too salt let them soak for
a few hours in fresh, cold water to
freshen them. Prepare u spiced vinegar
Of . gallon of strong cider vinegar, two
teaspooniuls of mustard seed. dozen
small red peppers. teaspoonful of
black pepper, two teaspoonfuls Of mnce
tnd Q cup Of sugar. Throw the vinegar,
polling hot, over the pickles, the amount
5epends on the size of them. Let them
boil up in the vinegar for two minutes.
Pour them into a large stone jar. Set
them where they will cool as rapidly as
,ossible and then cover theIa and set
them away for week or longer to
"ripen." Some housckeepers add a
lump Of alum the size of pea TO the
vinegar. This tends to make the pickles
crisp, but it also tends to make them

The Tree SILVER Wolf says That the sru"a
Money Lamb Is Disturbing business


The wolf in the fable blamed the
lamb for stirring up the bed of the
stream andlbaking the water muddy.
"But." said Ihe lamb, "the water runs
from you toAard me. could not have
disturbed ydlr drinking" "Oh, WELL
the wolf rel Ined, "if you did not, your
rrandfatherfld." And he straightway
dined on yo,Jtg mutton.
The silvcrNe wolves who are howling
calamity and Threatening to overthrow
our sound fJbncial system pretend TO
find an excult for their sixteen to one
schemes in Be unsettled condition of
business. because loans are being called
in and capital is timidly waiting the re.
suit OF the elections, the advocates OF
free coinage say, in the words of their
presidential candidate: you unrc inter-
fering with business" All unfavorable
indications IN trade and industry they
loudly ascribe to the gold standard, and
the manufacturers who are forced 10
limit their output by reason of the re-
fusal of merchants to buy while there IA
so much uncertainty about prices are
accused OF being goldbugs who are pnr-
posely making hard times.
1t should be easy for all intelligent
voters TO see through the hypocrisy OF
the silverite claims. Nothing can be
more certain than that instead OF being
due to the gold standard any financial
stringency which may row exist is al
most entirely caused by the agitation
for a debased currency. With large
number Of ot,ice-seeking politicians 60
ing up and down the country shouting
for cheap dollars, and promising to cut
the measure OF values In two II they
gnin control Of the gocernmcnt, how
can business be good? A tight money
market simply means that the owners
of capital are unwilling TO make loans.
Does any reasonable man expect that
the threat of enabling borrowers to pay
their debts in 50-cent dollars is going
to encourage investors TO part with thclr
capital? Or the contrary, is 1t not self
evident that the clamor for debt re-
pudiotion policy is the real source oi
business depression?
So long as there remains any doubt
as TO the future financial basis of our
great industrial and mercantile opera
tions so long will there be anxiety and
fear in the compercial world, Distrust
will continue u breed failures capital
will be scarce md interest high; debts
will be hard I, collect, and investors
will hesitate totngagc in productive in

Some Unprotected Game That 1t is

From the New York Sun.
A COOL many shooters are puzzled to
know how they can get practice for bird
shooting near the cities during close sea-
sons without paying for practice at the
traps.
There are several kinds of birds which fly
In such manner as to require skill in the
killing, and are not protected by law at any
time. OF course, small-gauge gun is best
for such practice, as it takes more skill to
kill with it than with big gum and the
more skill required the better the practice.
The kingfsher is a rapidly darting flyer,
rather shy, and hard to kill. With 2S-
gauge gun shooters ability would be well
tested.
The English sparrow, if put up badly

the man who can get three with two shots

The DOnneIly License,

Another chapter has been added to the
celebrated Donnelly case. Attorney Wilson,
representing the pretestants against grant,

fled brief with the escise board in answer
to the one recently h4e1 by Attorney. Mat
tingly, brief summary Of which was print
ed at the time in T4is starr,
This case. 1t will be recalled. has been be-
fore the public for along time. Donnelly
keeps grocery store At the corner of 18th
and l streets and seeks a wholesale liquor
license: 1t was claimed that he was not
entitled to license in view OF, the fact that
he had no license at the time of the passage
of the new liquor, law, and that the subse-
quent licenses. were not properly granted.
On the other hand, Donneily has shown
that he had an application pending at the
time and this his attorney claims, is a
license within the meaning of the law In
objection to this license is confined to Mr.
John w. Thompson but says the objection
comes from 'ali those residents on 1 street
who are nearest to and most injured by
Donnelly's liquor store, and their sole pur-
pose Is and has always been to secure the
strict and impartial enforcement of the
law. The attorney goes into the history
Of the case since 1889, when he says, a
remembrance was filed against licensing the
place. Touching upon the question of a
pending appiica ton and its meaning, he
says the law does not recognize licenses by
sufferance or inference Neither the Ian
guase nor the policy of the law would
Justify the assumption that mere appIica-
ton for license should have the same eff
feet as an actual license.

RED CROSS IN TURKEY.
An Interesting Letter From One of
Miss Clara Barton's Party.

Rev. Royal H. Pullman, pastor of Second
Unversalist Church of Baltimore, has just
received letter from his son, Mr.. George
II. Pullman, who at the time of the writ
ing. was at Constantinople as financial
agent of Miss Clara Barton. president of
the American National Red Cross. Miss
Bartons party sailed from New York jan
uary ~. to visit Armenia.
The letter of Mr.. Pullman is dated Ayaz
Pacha. Constantinople, and says that the
restitution in Armenia is terrible, and the
field so great that the efforts so far put
forth have accomplished very little. Among
other things, the letter contains the follow
ing: when We came to Constantinople We
went to the Pera Palace Hotel, as 1t was
not considered safe to go anywhere else.
The massacre in Stamboul was too recent
to admit of any free moving about the
city The wonderful view from our back
windows is beyond description. We are on
Para Hill, three or four hundred feet above
the water, and no buildings obstruct our
view. The beautiful Bosphorus, blue as
the vault of heaven. lies at our feet, and
on its tranquil bosom thousand sailing
and steam craft, from the picturesque fe-
lucca to the frownpg battleshp, lie an
ehored. At our leh we can trace the
windings of the stream for miles toward
the Black sea- AT our right lies the Golden
Horn, deep, clear stream, separating
STEAMBOAT from Galata, or ancient and
modern Constantinople, spanned by the
famous Pera bridge. Across the Bospho-
rus. and nearly opposite our house, is Sou
tart, in Asia, and back of that town,
stretching away as far as the eye can
reach, are the Snow mountains, with the
green valleys beneath. We can see a large
building, where Florence Nightingale had
a hospital In the Crimean war, and away
of to the left we can catch glimpse of
Mount Olympus. There are many wonder
full Things In and around this great city
with its million inhabitants and two-thirds
