the knowledge that formers have seriously CON-
a strong, and satisfactory outlet for every de h

To Keen Pickles Sweet.

Pickles should be kept in ungazed
earthen jars or wooden kegs. Sweet
meats keep best in glass jars; ungazed
stone pots answer very well for common
fruit. A paper wet in brandy or proof
spirit and laid on the preserver fruit
tends to keep it from fermenting. Both
pickles and sweetmeats should be watch
ed to see that they do not ferment, par
ticularly when the weather is warm.
Whenever they ferment turn off the vim
egar or strip, scald and turn it back
while hot. When pickles grow soft, it
is owing to the vinegar being too weak.
To strengthen it, heat it scalding hot,
turn it back on the pickles, and when
lukewarm put in little alum and a
brown paper wet with molasses. If it
does not grow sharp in the course of
three weeks it is past recovery ana should
be thrown away and fresh vinegar turned
on, scalding hot, to the pickles.

nnIntr Women Preferred.

Personality leaves its stamp every
time, but not always a pleasing one.
1t is purely feminine | presume, to de-
sire to leave good impression, but
since we are women let us live up to
the attributes of our sex, always pro-
viled they are the nice ones. A truly
feminine woman is delightful, but the
monstrosity known as the masculine wo-
man has no place in either sex. She oc-
cupies the position of the bat in the
ia le--a sort of an outcast since barred
out 10y bird and beast There never was
anything lovabe about the girl who aped
her brother in clothes or manner or the
woman who relied upon her strength to
rule in the hearts of others-her sex is
much better weapon. Men abominate
assertve women, and the members of
their own sex avoid them. Bear that in
mind in the training of the little girls.
Make them dainty specimens of woman
hood, even though they will have to fight
their way through the world. The task
will be easier be sure of that.-Betty
