The rule for preparing the little sweet
cucumber pickles will be Of small avail IL
the following general directions are not
Observed:
Use the best cider vinegar. Such vinegar
always has some color, and it is not so in
tensely sharp as the colorless manufactured
vinegar SO often sold under this name.
Use the small cucumbers. Those which
are no longer than the little finger make
the best pickles. Full-grown cucumbers
make coarse, rank pickles.
Soak the cucumbers long enough in brine
to insure their being freed from their strong
juices.
Pack the little cucumbers in a stone jar,
in layers of fine salt Put enough salt on
top to cover them and pour cold water over
all. and put a stone on it to keep. the pickles
under the brine Leave the pickles In brine
for nine days. Keep them in a cold place,
and stir them up from the bottom every
have been thus well sailed, rejecting any
that are soft. Thow the sound ones into
fresh cold water to treshen for twelve
hours At the end Of this time put them
into fresh cold water and let them soak for
twentyfour hours longer.
For kettle holding two. gallons Of pickles
powder a lump of alum the size of a large
hickory nut. Lay green vine leaves in the
bottom of the preserving kettle. Lay the
cucumDerS evenly over the leaves, ana
sprinkle a little OF the powdered alum over
the layer of cucumbers. Continue packing
the cucumbers in, with layers of alum
sprinkled over them, until the kettle is full.
Fill the kettle up with cold water and
cover with leaves carefully spread over the
cucumbers. and cover. the kettle closely
with its lid Set the pickles where they will
slowly heat to the simmering point, but yet
not boil, for about four or five hours. This
process will make them firm and green; At
the end Of this time lift out the cucumbers
carefully and put them into cold water
while the vinegar IS prepared for picking.
Put two cups Of sugar in every gallon of
vinegar, two dozen peppers, three dozen
cloves, q dozen and q half Of allspice and
one dozen blades of mace. Let the vinegar
and spices boil up once. Throw the cucum-
bers in, and when they are scalded put
them into stone pot and keep them COW
cred. At the end Of three days take out the
pickles and scald the vinegar again and
pour it over them. Let them stand, covered,
three days longer, then drain off the vine
gar and prepare a new vinegar, as before,
and pour it. scalding hot, over the pickles.
Let them become cold and seal them up for
two or three months.
Just before putting the pickles away add
another cup of sugar. Keep these pickles
in a glass jar or stone pot. Ir you do not
like the sweet flavor of such cucumber
pickles make them sour by emitting the
sugar There is only sugar enough used in
these pickles to mellow the sharpness of
the vinegar.

summer seInshness.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
Among summer sins I think seiashness
takes the lead" said she of the Drowned
cheeks. II have seen more selfishness dis
played on summer hotel piazzas and in sea-
shore dining rooms than one would en-
counter among the sweItering poor of the
slums during a whole hot summer. Self
sacrifice and consideration for others are
obsolete virtues to the man who is told
that there is only one piece of cantaloupe
left for breakfast; to the woman who knows
that because she occupies two rocking
chairs with herself and her books and her
embroidery silks some one else has to sit
in a stiff seat that lacks those American
joys-rockers The rocking chair is the
root of many evils in American life, but the
way 1t engenders avarice, selfishness and
all uncharitablenesS is the worst charge
can bring against it. At the hotel at the
seashcre where we stayed this summer the
piazzas were broad and breezy. A view of
the sea sparkling and dancing could be had
from all parts of the piazzas so there was
no bitter feeling or rivalry among the
guests about desirable hooks and corners,
bat the demand for rocking chairs was the
cause of continual battles. 1t began in the
morning when a battalion of nurse maids
and children would turn out to secure and
hold chairs until the mothers would come
out from breakfast. The women who had
neither children nor nurse maids tipped hall
boys to set aside chairs for them, and the
struggle between these darkleS ana the
servants and children of the guests was
quite Homeric in character and daily df-
version for the early riser. Once settled in
their hard-won rockers the women en-
brodered or read and talked until the bath
ing hour. The willy ones left their en-
broidery hoops and work basket on the
seats of the rockers to delicately warn the
passerby that the chair was reserved.
Others turned their thrones upside down
and dragged them into some secluded cor
ner
I'm the evening it was worse. The hus-
bands and sons from town were instructed
TO hurry with their dinner and go out and
secure some nice big rocking chairs for the
wife the girls. Stalwart young men. en-
Ceavoring to follow these directions, have
been seen stretching themselves over three
and even four chairs, anxiety written on
their faces and grim determination alone
helping them to bear the scowls of fndigna-
ton directed at them by passing and chair
less women. Dignified men or family were
utilized in the same demoralizlng manner.
and one man whose name ana profession
are almost well known as President Nc
Kinleys ! have seen seated in the center
of ring of five empty rocking chairs,
while numbers of persons strolied up ana
down the crowded piazzas unable to get a
chair of any kind.
He was told to keep the chairs for his
daughters while they were in the Dallroom
dancing, and he was obeying orders

Worry ~ THE COLI Clique
Why are the gold advocates SO much
worried over the Teller Matthews reso-
luton. asks The Chicago Dispatch
They say that there is no use in pass
ing the resolution because the fact
which it states is already embodied in
law. The New York World admits
that the standard silver dollars ARE
by law full legal tender for all debts
public and private Moreover, pre-
cisely similar resolution was adopted
by congress twenty years ago, and 1t
it has never been repealed"
These-Are admissions Of facts which
t.h.srgold clique has been trying to ig'
more. The Teller Matthews resolution
brings these facts before the public,
and for this reason the gold advocates
are worried. They would like to have
the people forget that the silver dollar
Is legal tender. They would like TO
destroy the silver dollar entirely as
money OF ultimate redemption. One
OF their plans OF monetary ''reform"
makes the silver dollar redeemable in
gold.
Every trick known TO shrewd money
dealers is being resorted TO in an fort
to-.lisredit silver. destroy greenbnckf
and place the note-issuing power in
the hands OF the bankers.
In discussing this phase OF the ques
ton the Cincinnati Erquirer says
"rhe money epeculators want the pee
pie to forget the real position Of the
silver dollar They want TO cRnce
the remembrance that 1t buys a
