PRESERVED PEARS AND PEACHES
New Recipe for the Canning Syrup.
Branded Fruit.

Branded Fruit.
Fruit Of medium size, and high fla
vor is best for canning. 1t should be
fully ripe, but firmy and free from
bruises or rotten specks. Clingstone
peaches are much the best. Choose
fruit from the nearest orchards-that
which has been shipped a long distance
seldom pays for canning. This is par
ticularly true of pears, which are al
most f1avorless unless ripened on the
tree. Fruit must be picked just as it
begins to turn for long distance ship
ping-hence is always more or less in
sipid
Wash and drain the fruit before be-
ginning to pare it, If it is the least bit
dusty or sticky. Pare as thin as posi-
ble-the finest fruit flavor turks next
the skin. Drop peaches fast as peeled
into deep jar half full of clear lime
water. This prevents their turning
brown, and in a measure hardens
them. Leave them whole, unless too
big to go in the can. In that case,
halve. leaving the pit in one half. When
all are peeled, drain off the lime wat
er, cover with fresh water, rinse we'll
and weigh Take half the weight of
pared fruit IN graduated sugar, put it
over the fire in a preserving kettle,
with half pint Of ginger tea, and
the juice of lemon to each pound,
prepared as follows: Pare off the yell
low lemon rind before squeezing, and
put it with the fruit. Make the gin
ger tea by bruising half an ounce of
ginger for each pint wanted, covering
it with boiling water, and letting IL
stand fifteen minutes before straining.
Boil the syrup five minutes, skim
ming it well at least twice, and when
it boils hard, drop in all the peaches it
will cover. Leave them in until the
kettle again strikes a boil. then skim
out, with a perforated skinner, and
put into hot glass Jars. Set the Jars
where they will keep hot, until all the
fruit has been in the syrup. Add
pint of fresh syrup for each gallon al
ready used. Bring it to a quick boil,
skim thoroughly and fill the cans with

SUMNER sOLACE.
OIympian Gods Did Not Have Frozen
EgE-nogg.

Frozen egg-nogg is a decoction Mt for
a Mount Olympian feast. For four
eggs use one pint of hot milk, in which
a small stick of cinnamon has been
boiled for a half hour Beat the yolks
of the eggs and add slowly the hot
milk, stirring continually; sweeten to
taste with powdered sugar; add hair
pint of brandy and the well beaten
whites of the eggs. When quite cold
freeze and serve with macaroons.
A frozen tutti frutti is even more
toothsome than the ordinary klnd.
Make a quart of ice cream favored
with sherry. When frozen, remove the
dasher, and stir in a pound Of mixed
candied fruits; beat thoroughly, cover
and let stand for two hours before
serving.

had lately in his house a servant who
was engaged to a well-to-do mechanic.
A few days before her marriage she
got into low spirits and said that she

she was afraid that the man might

and the untried that takes hold of some
people before marriage accounts for the
cases of suicide that have been COM

groom on the eve of the wedding day.

that he was to busy to come to his

When one we love lies cold in death
And, all in vain, we cry and call,
And on beseeching knees we fall
Imploring, and there is no breath;
When Loyalty, yet lacking fear,
The faithful subject prays relief,
Only to meet, in shame and grief,
His monarchs deaf, averted ear;
We may not call thee golden then;
No, Silence, lower thou than lead
In values scales; or If tbs said
Thou hast rating among men.
Thou shouldst be least of all we prize,
The lowest in the scale of worth;
Unvalued, save to haste the birth
OF agony or fierce war cries.
But oh, when, sad at heart, we wait
In longing for the precious word
From one we love and none is heard,
And We know not If love or hate
| Has barred the door we may not force :
Then, surely, golden thou art not,
But metal basest yet begot;
l scorn thy substance and thy source.

English brides, says the New York

as have the brides of this country, and
still wear their wells over the face in

bride who has done so proves the rule.
Custom is disregarded in low-cut we'd

yoke and sleeves, a fashion which is
considered Objectionable by many of
the older matrons. The English bride,
however, is appealing for more rights
