Backgrounds For Flower.

According to The Art Amateur, it
Important in a flower composition
mat the background should either bar
nonlze with or offer contrast to the
dominant note Of color. A bunch Of VIC
let's, for instance, will look we'll on a
ground OF duller violet gray, which is
harmony with it, or on a ground Of
yellow, which is contrast. It will do
well on brown, which is also in con-
PPrast with both the leaves and the fow-
Frs, and makes their colors look bright
er, but hardly on red, which robs the
lowers of their color and makes them
look almost gray, while it brings out
me green of the leaves more than is
necessary. Nevertheless. little red in
picture in which there is q large
pass OF violet almost always looks well,
2ot that red becomes then the dominant
Rote, and the violet only an accessory.

FRUIT JEUUIES,


Directions For the Making OF This Popu

and delicate flavor appeals to and some.
times suits lnvalids and persons who
never indulge in rich preserves. Very
hand they are, too, in household emer-
gencies, for garnishing dishes and get
ting up lmpromptu desserts.
Fresh fruit in good condition, a
smooth porcelain preserving pan, a
straining bag Of clean white flannel or
(Which is even better) coarse but firm
crash, wooden spoon, pure white sug.
ar and the careful observance of a good
recipe 60 far toward removing jellv
making from the realm Of chance to
that OF certainty. Tin pans and metal
spoons should be kept at distance dur
ing the process
Prime favorite among jellies for
handsome appearance and appetizing
flavor ranks the currant, and the time
to make the best sort is just as soon as
your currants are fully ripe, some say
even before that, but surely not wait
ing till they are everripe and soft They
should be gathered on bright, dry day
and never immediately after being rain
ed upon.
Probably the quickest, most labor
saving and economical of the MANY
methods of making currant jelly is the
following: Carefully look over the cur
rants to remove leaves and see that they
are clean, but do not wash or stem
them. Then weigh the fruit and allow
half the weight in pure white crushed
or eranulated sugar. Put few currants
INTO the preserving kettle and mash
them with wooden spoon or potato |
masher to get enough juice to prevent |
burning, then add the remainder of the |
frult and boil we'll for 20 minutes. Then |
strain through the jelly bag into earth
enware.
IN the meantime have the sugar heat. |
ing on shallow platters in the oven Re-
turn the juice to the kettle, and when it
has boiled up for about two minutes add
the hot sugar, and as soon as this is en-.
t1reIy dissolved the jelly is finished and
ready to be poured into the glasses.
One we'll recommended plan of ex.
tracing the juice of any of the fruits
Tor jelly is to put the fruit, whatever it
may be, into stone jar or crock and
set this into vessel of lukewarm water.
Cover closely, put it on the fire and let
1t boil until the fruit is reduced to a
pulp, then strain, and to each pint of
Juice allow pint Of sugar Boil the
juice slowly and steadily for exactly 20
minutes from the time it begins to boil,
add the sugar, which should be hot
enough not to stop the boiling, and
hen it is thoroughly dissolved let the
leily boil up once. Then fill the glasses.
these. by the way, should be standing
n pan OF hot water and be taken ont
ND wiped dry as needed. II this jelly
loes not harden, it is because it has
'een allowed to stop boiling, though 1t
nay be only for a minute.

What promised for time to be very
serious fire broke out about ! o'clock
yesterday morning in the barn at the
bakery. The barn and most of its con-
tents were de, trOyed and the bakery
considerably damaged The firemen
turned out promptly and by. hard work
succeeded in preventing the spread of
the flames. The real estate is owned by
the John w. Martin estate. Mr.. Cham
payne lost considerable amount of
personal property and Mr. Ira NJ Taylor.
who used part of the barn, had COW,
a carriage and sleigh burned. There
was, it is said, no Insurance on any of
the property. The total loss is probably
not far from $1,000.
Last Tuesday afternoon st. Mary's
church was the scene of very pleasant
affair. About 120 children of the cate
chIsm classes, with their teachers. and
200 of the Pensioners were present to
celebrate the anniversary of Rev. FIR.
Gelot's birthday. A very appropriate
address was delivered by Miss Nellie
Condor. The floral offerings and pre-
sensations were made by six little tots,
three little girls, the Misses 3. Lamorder,
NJ. Liberty and f. LavOnche, and three
little boys, Masters A. Deiadon, f. Rivers
and w, Rivers. FIR. Gelot was the re-
cepient of some very handsome gifts {:
one in particular deserves special mention,
a pastel portrait of himself copied from
his latest photograph. After expressing
his great surprise, Father Gelot thanked
the children most heartily for their good
wishes, and eXhOrtcd them in a very af-
fectionate manner to continue to practice
the virtues becoming their happy child
hood days. The benediction of the
blessed sacrament followed, after which
the teachers and all the little ones were
treated to a plentiful supply of dainties.

was being used:
Mistress-"Can't you get along with

Servant-"Bv the pound, yes
MistreSs-"Why don't you, them"
Servant-"One reason is. it takes more

Here's case where servant is wiser
than mistress. But Mary hasn't got the
whole of it-sound, so far as she goes,
though.
There's set of facts that goes deeper
than she suspects.
The soap it takes more pounds of is
strong soap; it not only washes away
faster. but it rots clothes.
These are the two reasons why high
priced soap Is cheaper than low priced.

Writes The Pioneer Breezy
Letter Full of Good Things, Re-
Garding His Trip to Buffalo.

hartford, Wis, Sept. 6, 1897.
Friend Allen:
l believe promised to write you some
time while on my journey. Ihad very
pleasant tri p to Buffalo, and en- route I
stopped over a day in Chicago and visit
ed Logan's monument, also Jackson's
Park. and the Field Columbian museum
which is in tho building, and was the
Art building during the worlds fair. It
is we'll worth visit of week or two.
When they "put me off at Buffalo" the
old soldiers were being royalty entertain
ed, and those fortunate enough to be
among the marching columns will have
something pleasant to remember the
rest of their days.
North Dakota was not largely repres-
ented, but made very creditable ap-
pearance. had the honor of carrying
tho North Dakota banner, and the salts
faction of saluting President Comrade
Mckinley.
AS W. >ueared the end of tho parade
some one came up to me and nearly dis
located my arm. before could discover
that it was Comrade Joe Kiniston. Joe
is just the same good fellow he always
was, and says he longs to return to
Hope. I Ispent one evening with him
and had jolly good visit.
OF course l visited Niagara Falls.
Spent most of my time while there on
Goat Island and went through the cave
of the Winds.
l made it point to talk with tho peo-
plo from nearly every state in the Union,
and ALL without exception, say that
times are improving wonderfully. Com
rade Mckinley is starting up his factor
les and mills and business is good.
am stopping for few days at my
old home, Dartford, Wis, on the shore
of Green Lake, a noted summer resort.
My regiment, the First Wisconsin
Cavalry, will hold reunion next week
at Ripon, where I expect to meet large
number of my old comrades. / will
reach home latter part Of next week.
Yours truly,
| OSCAR BARRETT.
