HOMEMADE SIRUPS.
The Most Delicious Are Made of Common
Sugar.

The Most Delicious Are Made of Common
Sugar.
The most delicious sirups for buck
wheat cakes ere those made at home
from sugar. Either maple sugar, gran
ulated or pure brown sugar may be
used. When the pure brown sugar of
the cane can be obtained, as 1t can on
sugar plantations in the south, this is
as delicious rs any maple strip. I'm
fortunately, it is no longer an article
of commerce. The only brown sugar
we have is the refuse of the cane sugar
which will not become refined. The old
fashioned brown sugar was the pure
cane sugar, from which the white sugar
IL made. It Is still valued in the south,
and iE sometimes sent to the north to
or other southern produce. If the pure
brown sugar cannot be obtained, 1t u
cheaper to use granulated sugar, be-
cause 1t is considerably sweeter than
the refuse brown sugar of to-day. Add
to five pounds of sugar about pint OF
water, or only enough to melt 1t. Boil
1t three minutes, so it will not go back
to sugar. This will make a delicious
heavy strip. If you wish II thinner use
more water, but it is not as good as
when thicker.
The pretticst sirup cups for light
sirups are those of old-fashioned wedge
wood with a silver top. They cost much
less than vulgar-looking pitchers Of
snowy plated ware, and with care will
last lifetime. An English majolica
cup or pitcher, as some persons prefer
to call them, is n picturesque piece.
1t seldom costs over dollar, and Is a
heavy, glossy ware, richly colored and
without tho raised figures of the COM
mon nniolica of the shops. 1t is not
easy 10 find in this country, even in
the large cities. There are certain
shapes in Flanders girls, intended for
mcrly for covered beer mugs, which
make very strong and picturesque strip
holders. This ware is never expensive,
and can always be found In large city
shops where German wares are sold.
The only objection to the use Of this
ware is its rough surface and raised
figures, which unfit It for any general
use in the kitchen or on the table.-N.

An oasy time; the taxpayers get less

IN THE DEPARTMENT STORE.

How the Charming Buyer Got to the
Windward of the Merchant.
"What won't merchants nowadays
do in order to gain business advan-
tuge?" asked the drummer from Ohio,
and then partially answered his own
question by saying:
II went into big department store
last week. found that the buyer for
my line of goods was q woman, q
mighty handsome woman. I made an
appointment for her next morning,
and when 1 arrived with my samples
found half dozen statesmen ahead Of
me and had to wait my turn.
'The buyer was busy just then with
q fellow who sold cheap jewelry. He
was susceptible youth and the girl
was stringing him for all he was worth.
You'd have sworn she was dead in love
with him. She called him by his first
name, leaned her head confidingly
against his rs they looked over the
samples and insisted on pinning tho
goods into his scarf and shirt front,
to see how they would look. AS a re-
suit, she bought all she wanted for a
song. That young fellows employers
are probably wondering yet how he
came to sell SO cheap.
"Some male buyers are just as un-
scrupulous, though" continued the
drummer from Ohio. though not al
ways on their employers side. went

buyer shivered and remarked that IL
was very cold day and that he didn't
have any coal at home. excused my
self, obtained his address and sent him
Ave tons of coal that afternoon. The
next day called around at the store

PACKING BUTTER.
A Method BY which the Delicate Flavor
May He Preserved.

Method BY which the Delicate Flavor
May BE Preserved.
Good butter may be safely packed to
keep six months or more II the right
way is taken. 1t used to be done years
ago, when 1t was the custom to keep the
surplus product for sale then, there
being no winter dairying to supply the
demand. The butter must be naturally
good and sweet and worked quite free
from the buttermilk by thorough wash
Ing. There need be no fear that this
will hurt the butter for IL cannot take
anything from Il, the fat being wholly
insoluble In water, and only the but
termilk will be washed ont of IT, which
1t must be, or 1t will be detriment to
the butter, as producing changes of the
fat into volatile acids. by which the but
ter is made strong and finally rancid.
The best packages for this use are
glazed earthen jars or sweet, clean
white oak or spruce tubs, painted or
vanished on the outside. The tubs
are soaked in brine, then scalded, then
washed in two or three waters, then
rubbed with fine salt inside, and while
wet the butter is packed N them, being
firmly pressed down so nc to leave no
vacancies in the mass.
When the package is filled to within
half an inch of the top, clean cloth,
or, better, some parchment paper, ic
fitted closely over the butter and half
an inch up the edge of the package.
Fine dry salt Is then put in smoothly TO
the top, then q dry cloth. well washed.
is tied down firmly, then parchment
paper and then one more cloth. The air
is thus excluded, and the butter will be
as good or little better than when 1t
was packed, as it undergoes ripening
process by which the fin, flavor of the
best butter is devcloped.-N. Y. World.
