SnInce For Lonely Souls.

All of a sudden the much-alive met
ropoltan clubwoman seems to be in
tereSted in the sister whose life is apt
to be one awful round of monotony-
the farmers wife As is well known,
there is a preponderant per cent. of
these ':'let alone" women in the insane
asylum, says a writer on club topics.
one bright idea is the opening in
town of rest room where the
farmers wife may stay on Saturday.
With the latest magazines and the
ever-comforting cup of tea, this weary
weekly shopper may find mental and
bodily refreshment This work has
been particularly eSpouSed by Mis-
souri, clubwomen. In other parts the
farmers wife is looking out for her
self, AS instanced at Lapeer, Michigan.
In this town the women of the sur
rounding country have rented two
rooms in the courthouse. Each men,
Der furnished one yard of carpet, one
chair. one cup and saucer, and every
Saturday came together to spread
lunch and talk things over" The
city clubwoman, in order to give both
dollars and diversion to the country
woman. who sadly needs a little tinan-
cial independence. is also making a
market for domestic manufacturers.
This is a new work especially espoused
by Mrs. Candace Wheeler, of New
York Such industries as weaving of
home made rugs in imitation of Orien-
tai textiles. and of odd designs in table
linen have been encouraged with ar
tistic results
Farmers wives away out West in
the meantime drive many miles over
rough mountain roads for their one So
cial pleasure-the monthly literary
club. The big city clubs, such as the
Denver Woman's Club. on the other
hand, regularly send periodicals and
club papers to the lonely women too
remotely situated for a chance to be-
long to any club.

A combination of different fruits whieh
I call as above has several names, but
no matter what ii is called, should
have a place in every household. as it is
a most delicious. as well as economical,
preparation. 1t is easily made. requtres
no cooking, and will keep for years If
properly prepared.
In some sections you should have be-
gun earlier to make your meLange, but
1t is not yet too late to secure desirable
results. You may begin, IL you desire,
with Strawberries at the first of the
season, and each successive kind OF
fruit as 1t appears in the market, but
be careful in every case to use only nice,
choice fruit. For a receptacle use
three-gallon stone jar, and il you have
not an old one that Is perfectly sweet
1 suggest you get a new one.
Assuming that you start the melange
with strawberries. you should for that
sized Jar stem and clean two pounds OF
sound fruit the fresher the better. Add
to 1t an equal weight of best graduated
sugar and place the mixture in the jar
as basis for your structure.
To prevent fermentation, cover the
fruit with pint of pure alcoholin which
has been dissolved two drachms of sail
cylic acid. This amount of spirit will be
sufficient for the entire quantity of fruit
used.
Cover your jar with a cloth, tying 1t
up securely and set away in the cellar or
some other cool place stirring for three
or four mornings thoroughly with a
wooden spoon until the sugar is all dis
solved being careful not to mash the
fruit more than is absolutely necessary.
The next fruit in it's season should be
added in the same way, always with
its weight of sugar and the stirring
for several mornings after the fruit is
placed in the jar not forgotten.
If cherries are used, they should first
be pitted Apricots and peaches should
be pared, stoned and quartered while
pears should be pared, quartered and
cored. Grapes, with the possible excep-
ton of Malagas should be avoided, as
they are too full of seeds to be desir-
able. Raspberries give a delightful
flavor, and three pints could be used in
your jar without detriment Most va
rieties of plums may also be put in to
good advantage, but in all cases remove
the stones.
! The addition of seeded oranges and OF
! lemon peel, citron, etc, | have found OF
no value and would not advise, if the
jar can be filed with otner fresh fruits.
| If your fruit is especially sweet by rea-
! son of the combination, you can lessen
/ the amount of sugar added with the last
| fruits used. but never put in less sugar
] than half the weight of the fruit.
| After the jar is filled let it stand for
/ several weeks, when if you desire, you
! can remove it to smaller glass jars,
! sealing, but in no case heating the me-
/ lange.
If you take the mixture out Of the
larger jar you will probably have a
surplus of juice, which, if canned by
itself, makes most pleasing pudding
sauce or a delicious addition to lemon
ade 1t is a fruit syrup par excellence.
If you find the recipe too late for the
present season. put it carefully away
for use next year. When once you try
It, You will never be without Fruit Me-
LANCE.

Root Beer In the Melon.

A distinguished Senator from New
England has for twenty years past
boosted of his skill in preparing water
melons for the table. Last year. about
this time, he asked a number Of friends
to his house to enjoy a melon feast In
preparing for the event the Senator
plugged three fine Georgia melons and
poured into each one a quart OF cham
payne. When, several hours afterward
they were brought upstairs to the din
ingroom. the host prepared to do the
carving.
All but several of his most intimate
friends We're served from the two mel
ons first cut The third one, the finest
one of the lot, was kept for the Sem
ator himself and the few others who,
In his opinion, could appreciate a good
thing. This melon, when cut open,
seemed n trfie darker in color than the
others, but no one commented on the
fact Each gentleman after he had
tasted it remarked, This is delicious"
but their approval had in 1t a ring Of
politeness that made the Senator sus-
piclous.
The Senator hurrledly cut out n NOR
sci. held II to his lips several times,
and then exclaimed; "Well, I've been
fixing melons this way for twenty
years. and | never knew one to taste
like that before" Some one suggested
he had made mistake, and proposed
that they look at the bottles. SO down
stairs went the whole party, and there
on the shelf were the three empty bot
ties. two with champagne tables and
the other marked root beer. baltimore

down word that the old man was gath
ering up all the fire buckets on the floor
and burning them UP in the CRATE in his
room.
Il charged up to his room to find cut
what he meant by such conduct. /
found him in his room calmly smashing
up the buckets by bringing his No. IA
cowhide boots upon them. The buckets
were some that we had placed in the
halls a number of years ago to be used
in case of fire. But as we had lately
placed five hydrants on every floor
with reels of hose at every point, we
had allowed the buckets to go into dis
use.
See heren yelled as | took in the
situation. What in the name of
heaven do you mean by burning up
those buckets
"'Why,' answered the innocent old
codger, as he picked up one of the
buckets. doesn't ii say right here on
them To be used for fire only?'
Il Wllted and told him to go ahead.
They were not worth much, anyway,

to 80 ahead that he might break out al
