A very good authority on fruit pre-
serving considers that the plan followed
by many housekeepers, of using small
proportion of sugar, and in consequence
boiling the preserve longer. is fallacy,
as the more sugar used the greater the
bulk of preserve obtained, less being
wasted in long boiling and evaporation,
while the flavor of the fruit is more re-
tanned. A quick fire should be used,
and, of course, the preserve continual
ly stirred. the skum being taken off as it
rises. To judge if the preserve has
boiled long enough drop a little into
a glass of cold water. If it does not
spread or mix. it is done enough. Or
another way is to drop a little on plate.
If it does not run on the plate, it is suf-
fciently boiled and should at once be
Poured.-Boston Budget.

Womnn,a Debt to Society

Woman stands as the sacred guardian
of future homes and our nations pros
perity, and to her must we look for
true reforms. To her standard must
society come. Let her be sure to place
it high and keep it pure, and make it
apply impartiaIly to all people. Let her
keep out those whom she knows fall
short of her standard, and never con-
done in the stronger sex what she con-
dennis in the weaker. Let her think
not to elevate society by hiding or con-
doGing the evils which surround her
on every side, but only by shutting out
those whom she has found it impossi-
BILE to raise to her standard. Then fu-
ture generations will arise who will
bless her for their heritage. instead of
cufsing her for their nisery.-D7vight

that the country has finally come in the

WEDDING INVITATIONS.
The Correct Form of the Day I'm
Fashionable Circles.

The Correct Form of the Day I'm
FashionabIe Circles.
Wedding invitations have greatly
changed in the past few months. The
fashionable wedding invitation is no
longer printed on the sheet of note
paper which folds to fit a square en-
velope, the sheet now used for that
purpose being 61H inches long and 5A
wide, thereby requiring an oblong en-
velope. The paper has a smooth, dull
finish, like parchment, instead of the
former glazed surface. The script on
the new Invitations is about the same
size as that on the old ones, and the
words and lines are brought rather
nearer together, so that the wording
occupies the center of the sheet, with
wide margins about it, while some peo-
pie even use what is termed the para
graph form, in which the words run
straight along, instead of being ar
ranged in lines of varying lengths, and
the result is quite good.
The wording of wedding invitation,
by the way. does not always receive the
attention which it should. For a
church wedding the parents of the
bride request the "honor of your pres
ence," whereas for home wedding
the pleasure of your company" is
asked. Then, again, for home we'd
ding, the name of the guest is often
inserted, such as Mr.. and Mrs. William
Tompkins request the pleasure of
- - company at the marriage
of their daughter. Of course, as this
latter form more closely resembles a
personal invitation, it is more of a
compliment to the guest. At a very
stylish wedding recently the parents
of the bride simply requested the "hon-
or of your presence at the marriage of
their daughter at Grace church." her
name being omitted entirely, though
the calling cards of both bride and
groom were Enclosed.
The invitation to the wedding break
fast or reception is about the same as
those of last year, save that the cards
are q triae more oblong. The wedding
announcement is printed on the same
kind of note paper as the wedding in
vitation, the simple card no longer be-
ing considered good form, though if it
is used it should be oblong and about
81 inches wide, and 81 inches from
top to bottom.-San Francisco Chron-

To Paul Kersch, Esq:
My Dear Sir-My love of true Demo-
cracy is so intense and my belief in the
necessity of its supremacy to the well
cannot fail to sympathize with every eff
fort to save the principles of my party
from threatened abandonment. l be-
lieve the very existence of true Demo-
cracy as an agency of good to the
American people is in the hands of
those who endorse and are wiling to be
guided by the declaration of principles
announced by the National Democra tic
party. 1t is a high mission to thus have
in keeping the life and usefulness of the
party which has deserved so well of
our cOuntrymen and the important con-
sideration involved should surely stimu-
late to patriotic effort. The work before
US rises above partisan triumphs and its
immediate rewards. The question is
are we doing our duty to our country
and to the principles of our party. No
success worth the name, can be reached
except in the path of principle. 1 hope
the National Democrats of Iowa, will
not wait to exhibit to their fellows in
every state the bright light of true
Democracy. Yours very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.

use as a permanent home,
a handsome double front
pressed brick building of
three floors. The location
is one of the most eligible
business sites in Topeka
the southeast corner of Kan
sas avenue and Eighth st.
The building is one of the
most complete newspaper
structures in the west and
has many unique features
among these are construc-
ton and arrangement by
which the four Linotypes
are seen in operation be-
hind plate glass facing Kan
sas ave., and also through
a large glass window from
the business Office.

State Journal unless you
feel confident that its daily
ejaculation exceeds 1900.
Any evidence apparently to
the contrary will be cheer
fully received and proof
produced to convince the
most skeptical that we do
not claim anything about
our circulation for which
we cannot vouch.
