old Time Legislation Against tn
Use Of Tobacco.

Use Of Tobacco.
Il Is one Of the curiosities or OLD tims
legislation that the use Of tobacco was
in early colonial days regarded by the
magistrates and elders as far more In
furious. degrading and sinful than that
Of intoxicating liquors. Both the use
and the planting Of the weed were for
hidden, the cultivation Of It being per-
mitted only in small quantities, Tor
meere necessitie, for phisick, for pres
ervation of the health, and that the
same be taken privately by annctens
men" But the Creature called tobac-
k0' seemed to have an indestructble
life. Mrs. Alice NJ. Earle writes OF
these early restrictions about tobacco
In "Stagecoach and Tavern Days.:
Landlords were ordered not to "suf-
fer any tobacco to be taken into their
houses" on penalty Of q fine to the
"victualler" and another to 1.-THE party
that takes it." The laws were con
stantly altered and enforced. and still
tobacco was grown and was smoked.
No one could take 1t 'publicquely" nor
in his own house or anywhere else be-
fore strangers. Two men Hexe forbid
Den to smoke togethes.
No one could smoke within two miles
Of the meeting house on the Sabbath
day. There were wicked backsliders
who were caught smoking around the
corner of the meeting house and others
on the street. and they were fined and
set in the stocks and In cages.
Until within few years there were
New England towns where tobacco
smoking in the streets was prohibited
and innocent cigar loving traveller
were astounded ut being requested tc
cease smoking.
Mr.. Drake wrote IN 1885 that be
knew men, then living, who had had te
plead guilty or not guilty in q Boston
police court for smoking in the streets
Of Boston.
In Connecticut in early days a great
indulgence was permitted to travellers
a man could smoke once during jour
ney Of ten miles.

PLUMS.

The following recipe will answer for
cages and all sorts of plums. Where
sugar is used allow half a pound to
every pound of plums. Wash the plums,
stick them carefully with large pin to
prevent the skin from cracking. Weigh.
Put layer of sugar and layer of plums
into porcelain lined kettle, having not
more than four layers of plums. Let
them stand for an hour or two on the
table; then put them over moderate
fire; bring very slowly to boiling point;
skim, and fill into the jars as directed.
There is always a great deal of surplus
juice in canning plums and small fruits,
and this may be put aside to boil down
for jelly.-Ladies' Home Journal.

ALL PRESERVING POWDERS ARE IN
FURIOUS.

ALL PRESERVING POWDERS ARE IN
FURIOUS.
To be successful with both fruits and
vegetables, surgical or absolute cleanli-
ness must be observed. This does not
mean simply washing and wiping the
cans: it means to have them absolutely
sterile, sufficiently heated to kill any
thing that may fall into or upon them
from the air. To be still more explicit:
If the vegetables have been cooked in
the Jars, and you have neglected to ad-
lust the rubbers previous to cooking,
and you put on the rubbers after taking
the jars from the boiler or sterilizer,
there may be, perhaps, millions OF
microscopic plants on one rubber;
and in few days the whole can will be
filed with fermentation. Washing or
wiping the rubber would in no way pre-
vent it; it must be heated sufficiently to
kill any germs that are fastened to 1t.
New rubbers are necessary each year.
Another word of caution will, perhaps,
be wise. All preserving pc" ders, no
matter under what name they are sold,
are more or less injurious to digestion.
Common sense teaches that material
that will prevent the life of plant, or
kill plant, and prevent all fermenta ion,
will, naturally, also prevent perfect
digestion. These preparations are not
wholesome. Better do without canned
vegetables in the winter than to risk
ones health.

CANNING, PRESERVING AND JELLY
MAKING

CANNING, PRESERVING AND JELLY
MAKING.
In this article the term canning refers
to vegetables and fruits sterilized and
Theoretically sealed in tin cans, glass
lars or bottles. The word preserving
refers to fruits put in a thick syrup
made from. sugar and water, and kept IN
ordinary tumblers or jars. !,
Fruits are much more easily canned
than vegetables. There are constantly
floating about us in the air great va
riety OF wild yeast plants together with
the bacteria. If single plant, or the
bud of plant, alights in favorable
place, as on the under side of the lid, or
at the edge of the jar before the lid Is
fastened down, it is quite sufficient TO
cause fermentation in can OF corn or
peas, or in any materials containing
sugar. The generic name of the yeast
plant is saccharOmyces, which really
means plant living on sugar OF needing
sugar for it's proper development. For
this reason fruits canned with sugar are
much more liable to fermentation than
those simply canned in water.

TO KEEP PRESERVES AND JELILEs IN
DARK PLACE,

TO KEEP PRESERVES AND JELLEs IN
A DARK PLACE.
Lift the jars, one at time, and fasten
the tops. Wipe each jar off Immediately
and stand it in cool place over night.
Next morning, if you have screw tops,
give each one an extra turn; if not, they
will be sufficiently fastened. Wipe them
off, and put them in cool, dark closet
for keeping. 1t is aquestion whether
or not light affects fruits. Personal ex-
perience has proven to me that it does
not make much difference whether fruit
is kept in the light or the dark. have
kept quantities of fruit in the sunlight
all summer, and have had them in per-
feet condition the next year. have,
however, noticed that the flavor is not
so true after they have been standing in
the sun. For this reason / recommend
the dark.
Large fruits, such as peaches and
pears, should be packed in the jars, the
jars filled with cold water, the rubbers
adjusted, the jars placed in the boiler
with the same amount of water as be-
fore, and the lids placed loosely on top;
the boiler covered, and the cooking con-
tinued for fifteen minutes after the
water has reached the boiling point.
WHERE SUGAR is USED IN CANNING.
Where sugar is used at the time of
canning, and the materials are cooked in
a porcelain-lined kettle, the following
rules should oe closely observed: The
jars must be washed, plunged into scald-
ing water and rolled around quickly.
The lids put into cold water, brought to
boiling point and kept there. The rub
bers adjusted. The jars filled one at a
time and fastened. Each jar should be
placed, to prevent breakage, on folded
damp towel in plate or pie dish. A
wide mouthed funnel will facilitate mat
tiers very much. The jars should be
filled to overlooking and the tops fasten-
ed down. There is no advantage what
ever in having press of any sort in the
top of the jar. 1t is not necessary that
the fruit should be under the liquor.
Fruits that will mold outside of the
liquor in a jar are not sterile, are un-
wholesome, and have been carelessly
canned.
