Can(liel Chestnuts.

For canded chestnuts select dozen
of the large chestnuts and cover them
with boiling water until the skins are
loosened After the skins have been
removed put the chestnuts again into
hot water and simmer gently until
they are tender, but not soft. Put into
a saucepan one cupful of water and
stir until dissolved. Add the nuts and
let them cook until they are transpar-
ent. Remove them carefully from the
strip and cook the latter until it has
reached the stage known in candy
making terms as the hard ball. Flavor
with lemon and vanilla and after it has
cooled slightly stir until it begins to
Written. Now place the saucepan con-
tanning the sirup in pan of hot water
and stir. When reduced once more to
a liquid state, add the chestnuts one
at a time and remove them to an oiled
paper to harden.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
The Care of Cut Glass.

Cut glass should have the greatest
possible care in handling. A wooden
tub should be used Cor washing, and
the water in which il IS cleared should
never be too warm for the hands. The
deeper the cutting the more liable it is
to he broken. Cut glass should never
be left upon stone OF marble, and in
rinsing the water should be Of nearly
the same temperature as that used for
the washing. 1t should always be
drained on n soft towel or cloth. De-
canters and water bottles often get dis
colored. but soft cloth guided by a
wire will generally remove the scdi-
ment. When this is obstinate, bits Of
paper with shot and strong soapsuds
will do the work. Beans are some
times used instead Of shot. Glass that
is ornamented with gold should be
washed with CASTLE or good white
soap--that is, a suds-and should be
wiped as dry as possible. All fine glass
should be kept in closed cabinet and
handled very little. 4 damp place is
not advisable for glass, especially that
with gold decoratons.-M Graham
in Woman's Home Companion.

With the growing fondness for brass
and copper ornaments in place Of brio
a-brac there exists something Of mis-
apprehension in the minds Of many
housekeepers as to whether the metal
should be secured or not and one sees
it in all stages of brilliancy and CRIME.
The question may be readily settled If
consideration is given to the room in
which the ornament is to be placed.
IT, for example, it be an apartment
furnished with polished furniture, con-
ventional fittings and glossy hangings
and upholstery, the dim, rusty piece Of
metal that would grace studio, den
or other apartment of similar charac-
ter would be conspicuous for its unfit
ness. In such places, indeed, it is the
brilliant hue of the polished brass or
copper that is needed and that invarl-
ably harmonizes best with the pictures,
hangings. etc. On the other hand, with
antiques, unpublished wood, rugs and
hangings softened by time and an alb
sence of bright new fabrics the IN
polished surface will furnish the need
ed touch,

AMERICANS GET
LARGE CONTRACTS

Washington, March 21.-Consul Gen
eral Guenther. at Frankfort, Ger
many, says the Frankfort chamber of
commerce thus calls attention to the
growing American competition III the
markets of the world.
THE harbor authorities OF Calcutta
advertised for bids on locomotives.
The lowest English bid was S1.349
each. time of delivery limited to nine
months. The lowest American bid
was S5.90S. time OF delivery limited to
six months. The American firm re-
ceived the contract. A recent contract
for furnishing n large quantity Of cast
iron pipes for the Dutch colonies was
awarded to an American firm. whose
bid was nearly twenty-five per cent.
lower than German competitors. Large
orders for rails recently were placed
In America from Holland. The Eng
lsh government has been obliged to
give Americans preference over their
own works on account OF extremely
low prices and quick time OF deliv-
cry"
The consul general says American
competition will bc greatly felt, espe-
