CANNING.


At this season of the year every good
housewife begins to restock her pantry.
She can buy In the market almost every
kind of canned n66fls imaginable but as
1t seems to me, hothing sho buys tastes
quite like the things she .puts up" her
self. 1t gives me, therefore, the great
est Of pleasure to tell my inquiring
friends the results of my experience in
canning, especially of corn. string beans
and peas. Tomatoes are very easily
canned and the best methods are known
TO every good housewife, but canning
corn is usually found more difficult.
One Of the secrets OF putting up corn
Is in having the corn absolutely fresh.
10 keep In the perfect condition desired.
corn must be absolutely fresh picked
and 1t Is worse than useless to attempt
10 put 1t up unless it can be prepared
within a few hours at most, of the
time 1t is taken from the garden.
i. 1 have the best of success with corn
by following the following recipe. After
renewing the husks and silk with a
sharp knife cut from the cob and with
the back of the knife press out of the
cob all the milk remaining. Pack the
cut corn and milk in the Jars, pressing
1t down well that there may be no air
spaces. In the bottom of wash boiler
put layer OF straw on number of
narrow boards and have ready guam
t1ty OF hot water. Arrange the Jars in
the boiler. lay the lids aud rubber bands
loosely on the top of each and slowly
pour In boiling water sufficient to two
thirds submerge the jars. Lay a large
towel over the top of the boiler then
press on the cover and keep at a steady
boil for three hours, adding more boiling
water IL 1t is necessary. Then lift out
the jars, fasten down the covers aud let
stand over night. Tighten the covers il
they are of the screw variety and put
away In a cool, dark place. 1t is al
ways well to test your jars before using.
Fill half full of hot water and invert
them; IL they leak put on new rubber
rings; II they still leak do not use them.
To can string beans, cut them into
fpieces, wash them and fill the jars with
them. To one gallon of boiling water
add ems tablespoonful of salt and fill the
Jars Drumming over. Arrange in a
boiler as directed above and keep at
continuous boil for two hours and then
seal and put away.
To can peas, shell and wash them and
then proceed just as you would for
string beans. What I suggested about
corn holds good to certain extent with
peas and other vegetables
Later l shall have something about
the putting up Of pears, ounces and
other fruit.

VIEW JAPANEsE PREMIEn.

The Rise of visoount Katsura and tho
Present Cabinet.
London Standard.
With reference to the formation of
cabinet ny Viscount Katsura, CORES.
pondent who IL familiar with leading
personalities in Japanese politics
writes:
The new premier, who is now about
81 or 55 years of age, achieved while
lieutenantRenera in the Japanese
army great distinction In command OF
the First Army Corps during the war
with China. He was advanced to bis
high position on the retirement of his
friend, Marshal Yanagata, lie fought
two OF the bloodisst battles with the
Chinese that took place in the course OF
the war-Kang-wasai, where Gen. Sung
made q stout resistance, the Japanese
loss being 0 per cent Of the total num-
Der OF men engaged, and Kaiping,
where ths Chinese also fought well and
bravely, inficting heavy losses on the
Japanese. As result OF Kstsura's
tactics and strategy he commanded all
the roads leading from Manchuria into
China. His concluding achievement
was the assault and capture Of Niu-.
chuaDg. A few weels later peace
negotiations put an end to the war.
The Mikado recognized Katsura's SER
vices by making him viscount.
'Viscount Katsura was Minister Of
War In the last famaeata cabinet,
which Immediately preceded that OF
Marquis Ito, the outgoing premier.
The shades Of difference in Japanese
politics, at least so far as the leading
statesmep's views are concerned, ARE
80 slight that 1t might truly be affirmed
that nobody but Japanese can under
stand them. 1t may be said, however,
that Katsura leans to the side of Yama-
gaia rather than to that of Ito, but be
also is Progressive. So far az Japan's
foreign POLICY is concerned, he will
make no change in that pursued by
Ito, but there will be some slight
notifications with regard to the do
meatio policy of the country, prinoi-
pally affecting its financial arrange
ments the rock on which the Ito
government split
The Japanese foreign minister, the
official in whom England ia perhaps
most interested, is temporarily NJ
Some Arosuke, who was Minister to
France some four years ago. His real
position In the cabiuet is Minister of
Finance. 1t will be noticed that up to
the present M one has been definitely
appointed to that extremely difficult
post. Une of the most striking figures
10 the new cabinet is NJ. Kikuchi,
Minister Of Education, formerly presi-
dent Of Toxic University. He was
educated in England along with Baron
Havashi. the present representative of
the Mikado at the English court. How
far from essential are party lines in
Japan is evident from the fact that the
important portfolios of war and marine
continue to be held by Gen. Kodama
and Admiral Yamamoto. respectively

LITTLE THINGS.
Henry Van Dyke.

Only little shriveled seed
IL might be flower or grass or weed;
Only box of earth on the edge
Of a narrow, dusty window-ledge;
Only few scant summer showers;
Only few clear, shining hours
That was all. Yet God cDIld make
Out of these, for sick child's sake,
A blossom wonder as fair and sweet
As ever broke at an angels feet.
Only life of barren pain, e
Wet with sorrowiul tears for rain;
Warmed sometimes by wandering CLEAN
OF JOY that seemed but happy dream.
A lite as common ard brown and bare
As the box Of earth in the window there;
YET it bore at last the precious bloom
OF a perfect soul In a narrow room
Pure as the snowy leaves that fold
Over the flowers heart Of gold,

After having suffered from Oblivion
for long time the old fashioned cameo
brooch is enjoying a revival in popu
larity. They are more curious than
pretty, to tell the truth, unless now and
then you come upon a model of true
classical beauty. These are now
brought out from the limbo OF old
fashioned ornaments, and are used TO
hold down the belt and hold up the
skirt in the middle of ones waist in
the back. The cameo pins are not used
directly under the chin because they
are singularly unbecoming to most
people. Philadelphia Record. II
