FRUIT JElllES.

Directions For the Making of This Popu-
lar Form of Sweets.

lar Form of Sweets.
Je1lies furnish a popular form OF
fruit sweets, and as rule their refined
and delicate flavor appeals to and some
times suits invalids and persons who
never indulge in rich preserves. Very
handy they are, too, in household emer-
gencies, for garnishing dishes and get
ting up impromptu desserts.
Fresh fruit in good condition, a
smooth porcelain preserving pan,
straining bag of clean white flannel or
(Which is even better) coarse but firm
crash, a wooden spoon, pure white sug-
ar and the careful observance of good
recipe go far toward removing jelly
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
favor ranks the currant, and the time
| to make the best sort is jJst as soon as
| your currants are fully ripe. some say
even before that, but surely not wait
| ing till they are overripe and soft. They
| should be gathered on a 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 granulated 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
| fruit and boil well 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-
| tirely 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
for jelly is to put the fruit, whatever it
| NAV be, into stone jar or crock and
set this into vessel of lukewarm water.
Cover closely, put it on the fire and LET
| it boil until the fruit is reduced to q
pulp, then strain, and to each pint OF
juice allow pint of sugar. Boil the
juice slowly and steadily for exactly &c
minutes from the time it begins to boil
add the sugar, which should be hot
enough not to stop the boiling, an6
when it is thoroughly dissolved let the
jelly boil up once. Then fill the glasses
These, by the way, should be standing
in pan of hot water and be taken ou
and wiped dry as needed. If this jelly
does not harden, it is because it ha'
been allowed to stop boiling, though i
may be only for a minute.

White Costumes Reign In France-Dress
OF Mousseline de Laine.
Tailor made costumes, which hold their
own in fashionable favor year after year,
because they are so neat, serviceable and
becoming, nevertheless change somewhat
from season to season, and are now no
longer the rigid and severe apparel that
they were when they first came about. The
bolero, opening at will over blouses of
gauze, Grape, lace or mousseline de sole,
form a frequent feature of this class of
gowns, and short, close bodices, with a
slight basque, trimmed with galloon or
military braid, are also much liked.
White MORE forms highly acceptable
trimming for cloth gowns, capes and
wraps. Although it Is not at all durable,
1t has the force of novelty and fashion to
back it, and is greatly worn. Long travel
ing wraps of cloth and cloth capes have
revers and collars of cream or white
MORE, and medici collars of cloth are
lined with the MORE, which also forms
the lining of capes themselves. A light
silk lining is indispensable for cloth capes,
which are considered to lack elegance
without 1t.
White costumes are enjoying great
vogue in France, and the vogue is CON

If you must take out your bicycle in
the mud, vaseline it all over, including
the enameled parts except the top rail.
This latter because the riders clothes
will rub against it. Vaseline will pre-

Cycling is thirst inducing pastime
at the best of times, and run of six or
seven miles is generally sufficient to
put the rider in condition to discuss a
"gargle." But if he SO desires he can
obviate all this, and at cost of practi-
cally nil. To do it, get small lead bull

ately deep, and wedge a piece of coro
into the cavity SO formed firmly. Calcu.

the tongue, with the cord between the
teeth, knot outside. 1t cannot slip back
into the throat, while, if the taste is
objected to, for couple of pennies any
silversnith will put plating over it.
IF bullet cannot be obtained, small
pebble will answer the same purpose,

reculiarities of the snop.

Whatever his social status, there are
two peculiarities that characterize the
snob," says Vogue first, the irrecon-
cilable difference between his pose as a
superfine bit of porcelain and his reality
as a common clay personality, and,
again, the futility of his efforts to i'm
pose himself upon the community as a
gentleman. Money, birth, education
none of these is of any avail. The
stamp of inferiority is indelibly assert
i've and easily recognizable by the most
casual acquaintance. Whether he be a
mushroom snob or one whose ancestral
line is traceable back through dozen
generations of mot in trade the
snob's speech and manner betray him to
be that which he most abhors-one Of
the herd in vulgarity, whatever his sur

being the much-talked-of skating contest

ter from Lake Linden. IL is estimated
that between 1000 and 1900 people
were in the rink, large number being
from Calumet
The race resulted in a victory for the
Calumet skater. although it was very
hotly contested and Thomson finished
only fifteen feet in advance of his oppo-
nent. The skaters were nearly even with
each other M 10 within next to the last
lap, when Thomson spurted and won the
race, Barbeau being unable to make the
squirt. The judges were Jacob Slonaker,
Frank Haun and William Monroe. The
greatest excitement prevailed during the
contest, the crowd yelling and cheering
wildly when either skater showed signs
