Best Way to Make Jelly.

The only way one can be sure each
time to have satisfactory results in jel-
ly making ia to keep trying the juice.
Take a little out on IA saucer, let it cool,
and then examine it. 1t is safer way
than to trust to given number of min
utes. The condition of fruit is hardly
ever twice alike. If possible, when
making jelly, put the fruit after it is
cooked into flannel bag and let it
drain slowly. 1t is much more likely
to be clear than if squeezed or pressed
out hastily. In making elderberry jel-
ly cook the berries till soft, then strain
through a jelly bag. A thicker and bet
ter favored jelly is obtained by adding
one-third grapes or apples. To every
pint of juice add one pint of white
sugar.

that part between the finger loops and
the rivet, is perfectly straight and is
inlaid with pearl. Just at the point
where the blades cross is guard"
similar to the same thing on hunting
knife, to prevent the hand slipping
when the instrument is used as a
weapon. From the "guard" to the ends
of the blades they are slender and Ia
pering to fine point. When opened
this is an ordinary pair of scissors, but
when closed it becomes perfect and a
dangerous stiletto.
A great many women always carry
these scissors with them. They are car
ried in sheath like any dagger, and
thrust in the bodice, where they are
very handy in case of need. The Span
ish and Spanish-American woman is a
very passionate, resentful creature, and
when reused most dangerous one,
who will not hesitate to draw her stilet-
to, and use it. They are very quick
and expert in the use of this weapon,
and woe to the luckless one who in
ours their anger or hatred, for their
thrust is sure and deadly.-Detroit

THE WOMAN BEAUTIFUL.
The Daily Bath an Infallible Recipa
for Clear Skin and n Fresh
Com plexiOn.

Cleanliness goes hand in hand with
beauty, not mere cleanliness of face and
hands, but that which promotes the
health of the whole body, keeping the
circulation active and the complexion
clear. The hot bath twice weekly with
the use of flesh brushes and such toilet
aids as tend to improve and restore
the nervous system and give vigor to all
functions, will be found necessary
groundwork for beauty building.
Cleanliness of the skin has great eff
feet on the proper assimilation of food
by the body, for the tonic of a good
bath reaches much farther than the
skin, and the flesh is purified by the
process and becomes smooth and firm
as wax. Aromatic baths, which are
begun with hot water and graduated
to tepid and cold, are very invigorating.
Perfumed tablets are sold by the drug
gists, one of which dissolved in the
water of the bath gives it delicious
and refreshing odor. Sometimes an
ounce of ammonia added to gallon of
water will be found helpful. When the
sponge bath or immersion does not
agree with the system the sponge bath,
with friction, is good substitute. The
hair mitten, loofah and flesh brush an.
swer the purpose of the modern method
of massage, especially where there is
lack of strength on the part of the
subject or an objection to manipulation
of strange hands. The sponge bath
should never be hot, but should be be-
gun with tepid water, ending with a
cool tone, not cold. If there is danger
of taking cold the brisk rub with di-
luted alcohol will prevent it. The dry
bath, where there are serious objections
to water, consists of dry rubbing after
which the flesh is rubbed with flannel
dipped in toilet water, after which it
is dried with Turkish toweling. Then
there are the professional baths, the
Russian bath, Turkish bath, vapor
bath, mineral water or sulphur bath,
all good in their way and of value as
health reviewers. Any or all might
be classed under the head of the beauty
bath.-Chicago Chronicle.

CLEARLY DECLARED.
The Presidents Policy Defined by
Himself in Perfectly Plain
Terms.

The words spoken by President Nc
Kinley the other day in regard to his
Philippine policy were definite and GER
tain enough to any logical mind. Their
significance was completely missed by
alleged public guides, who evidently re-
quire to be furnished with an under
standing as well as with declarations.
But the Pittsburgh speech is calcu-
lated to drive the presidents meaning
home to every citizen of ordinary intel
ligence. 1t was explicit, positive, I'M
mistakable. 1t was an argument, but
it was also challenge. The president
assumed the offensive and handled his
anti-imperialistic 6etractors without
gloves.
Speaking of the soldiers who had the
privilege of being mustered out in April
and who preferred to remain in the
service, the president said:
"They did not stack arms. They did not
run away. They were not serving the in
surgents in the Philippines or their sympa-
thizers at home. They had no part or pa

PLY, who would have rejoiced to have seen
them lay down their arms in the presence
of an enemy whom they had just emanci-
pated from Spanish rule and who should
have been our firmest friends
And what the cause for which these
brave and patriotic men fought and suf-
fored and fell? The answer is found in
the following pregnant and pointed
sentences:
Peace brought us the Philippines, by
treaty cession from Spain. The senate OF
the United States ratified the treaty. Every
step taken was in obedience to the require
ments of the constitution. 1t became our
territory and is ours, as much as the Louis
lana purchase, or Texas, or Alaska. A body

New Pottery.

Some new jugs of American manu-
facture are modelled after the old
English "Toby' jugs. They are to be
had in fine china, and also in heavier
opaque ware, in all sizes, from the jug
that may be used for a family water
pitcher to tiny size that may be used
as cream pitcher. These jugs all have
the same form, are short and squat, and
represent Napoleon in high-topped
boots, waistcoat and breeches, with u
dark chapeau upon his head. Dark am
bers, green or gray, are colors of the
most desirable jugs. Other "Toby"
jugs and mugs made of jolly German
and Irish faces would promote good
cheer even if only filed with water.
This kind of pottery is much liked for
the mantel or buffet in bachelor
