THAT GELATINE.

To dissolve gelstine is not so easy q
matter as some cooks suppose. If the
gelatine is covered with water and
placed on the hearth or on the back
of the stove it will melt in fifteen OF
twenty minutes; but in nine cases out
of ten it will be strong favored and
will spoil whatever it is added to.
This is the reason that gelatine il not
fully appreciated by many housekeep.
ers.
If the gelatine be soaked In cold
water for two or more hours, and then
have boiling water or milk poured on
it, it will dissolve Immediately, and
rarely will have taste or odor. Here
is 9 good rule to follow:
Put box of gelstine in bowl, sno
pour over it half pint Of cold water.
Cover it and let it stand for two hours
or more When ready to use it, add
half pint of boiling water or the
same quantity of boiling milk. Stir
for few minutes, and the gelatine
will be dissolved.-New York World.

them in a saucepan and cover with
one quart of cold water. Simmer
thirty minutes, stir, and then drain
through a jelly bag. To every pint OF
liquid that you get add a pound of
loaf sugar, set over the fire, and as
soon as the sugar is dissolved add the
quartered apples. Cover. and cook
slowly until the apples are tender. Do
not let them get 30 soft that they lose
their shape, or tho dish, in looks at
least, will be failure. Take out tho
pieces on . skinner, one ut 3 time,

and entering upon q period Of business
development. the time IL ripe for. this
rev financial move. Heretofore some
few banks here and there. who have
dealt only in gilt-edged securities, have
made a practice Of advancing money
only when trust deeds were made, and
these local bankers think that to extend
the practice generally is good policy.
The percentage of borrowers who will be
able to pay up will, they argue, be as
great as under the mortgage plan on ac-
count of the renewed prosperity close at
hand, and on those who fail to come to
time the profits will be unusually grat-
flying, being exceptionally great.
That Is about how the matter stands,
and no one has cared to look forward
another eight or ten years-about the
time business panic recurs nowadays
and prognosticate what the result would
be under such circumstances.

A CATALINA SIREN
Who Boasts Lovers Galore and Causes
an Avuncular Feud

an Avuncular Eeud
1t is the opinion expressed by young
man who has just returned from Ava
Ion, that when you meet a real slick
girl she Is harder to keep up with than
the most ambitious scorcher. There is
story behind the expression of this
opinion which some of the temporary
residents at that resort have been watch
Ing with more than ordinary interest for
many moons. There are only few in
the secret and no names are mentioned.
The young man who expressed the opin-
ion was among the observers, simply,
and with him II is not a case of sour
grapes. At that resort since July there
has been a pretty miss who is decided
success as a coquette. She has had
three devoted lovers and managed to
play" them all without losing one. All
during the past two months these three
fellows have haunted her presence and
glared at one another persistently.
Finally one of them, who came from Ari-
zona's capital, was called home, his busi-
fness needing his attention. He parted
from his charmer in tears, leaving the
other two to fight it out. A short time
afterward another was also called and
sible minute having put off his departure
until he positively had to come home.
He kissed her hand and left the third
man alone in the field much to the de-
hight of the latter. Again business,
cruel business, called and the third man,
too, had to leave her. He is an elderly
man and remembered a handsome neph-
ew of his who, he thought, could console
L czs- IL
way he wrote to the aforesaid nephew
to come on at his expense. He came,
was introduced and was given minute
instructions as to how to keep telling
her Of the many virtues of the uncle,
some of which might have been imag-
mary, but he was to tell them all the
same. The uncle then tore himself away
and returned to his business, but not be-
fore he had visited the various vendors
of lemonade and other good things on
the beach and told them not to let her
pay for thing but to render him bill
for her purchases upon his return He
was not going to be away more than two
weeks, and he lSenw that he would not
be forgotten in that short time, so he
went satisfied that the dutiful nephew
would do his whole duty. He did. The
elder man returned a week ago and was
not long in firding out that the girl and
the nephew were playing the John Alden
and Priscilla business, so he requested
Ethe young man to light out This he re-
fused to do and swore that he would re-
main there at his own expense rather
than leave. Then Miles Standish, other
wise the uncle, went to her and urged
that the rebel be commanded to quit.
This was also refused. Both uncle and
nephew are now holding the fort and the
few who are familiar with the tribula-
tions of the uncle are laying odds against
his winning her. In the meantime the
fair young miss is never in want of COM
pany or entertainment. Some one has
been cruel enough to hint that all the
time she has been engaged to a young
man who will come here from the east
about Christmas ard claim her.

Encouraging a Great Evil

Long ago 1t became apparent that the
wholesale denudation of our forest lands
was the source of great injury to many
interests. Arbor day has been instituted
in number of states for the purpose of
teaching the young how necessary the
trees are to vast interests that cannot
be safely overlooked. The lumber sched-
ule Of the Dingley bill was regarded as
a menace to those interests, and effort
was made to prevent it's adoption, but
without success. A premium has been
put on forest ruction.-Bingham
