than five minutes.
Another Way to Can Pineapple.-If you
like the fruit to be clear and translucent
proceed as follows: Peel the fruit and cut
out the eyes: then holding the stem with
a cloth wrapped about 1t 10 protect the
hands hold the pine in the left hand and
with a silver fork shred the pulp from the
core. To every pound Of the pulp allow ten
ounces of sugar. Place over the fire and
cook until the fruit is clear-from ten TO
fifteen minutes.
Canned Raspberries with Currant Juice
The blending of currant juice and red
raspberries is delightful. Take one quart
of red currant juice and twelve pounds Of
sugar and make a syrup. stirring until the
sugar is dissolved. When boiling add ten
pounds Of red raspberries and boil in the
syrup for ten minutes. Then fill into glass
Jars and seal at once.
Preserved Blueberries for Winter Pies
This is an old-fashioned recipe from fam
lily manuscript recipes. Stone jars were
used. though glass will answer just as we'll.
Fill the jars nearly full with the berries
and then I'LL up level full with good mo-
lasses. Cover with a piece Of muslin and
brown wrapping paper n set away in a
cool. dry place. Our gr~andmothers pre-
served chicken grapes in the same man
ner and they made very nice winter pies.
Tutti Fruit Preserves.-This is particu-
larly nice TO have on hand for frozen des-
serts in winter time. It is made with a
pound Of sugar for every pound Of fruit.
and every variety Of fruit may be used. be-
ginning with the strawberry. Weigh. boil
and skim the fruit the same as for other
preserves. and when each kind is cooked
turn into a stone jar which has a closely
fitted cover and keep in a cool place. Hard
fruits. like ounces. pineapple and pears.
must be parboiled before they are put into
the syrup or they will remain hard. Use
the juice Of orange and lemon instead OF
the pulp and. also, the grated rind. Be-
side the fruits Of all kinds, you may. also.
add stoned raisins and shredded or sliced
cocoanut. Some housekeepers find this pre-
serve will not keep well unless they use
brandy and seal up the jar after each ad-
dition of fruit. But If you nave a very
cool, dry place for keeping your preserves
you will find the brandy unnecessary.

sponged her spine with tepid water, and
just before I put her to bed put her In a
salt bath. This reduced the temperature Of
her body. 1 nursed her every two hours
and gave her a drink of cool boiled water
often. Keeping the body cool and giving
the baths were advised by a prominent
physician of a children's hospital, where,
during the hot weather, the babies are kept
with as few clothes as possible. He said
more children were III during the summer

Little
in Economy

At this season of the year the woman
who still clings to the old-fashioned domes-
tic customs and traditions OF her forbears
may easily be located, even amid the city's
environments. by the many delightful and
suggestive odors which are waited out upon
the breeze from her preserving kettles.
Whether IL is better economy 10 preserve
your own supply of fruits or 10 depend on
the manufacturer productions is a prob
lem which each housekeeper must decide
for herself. as il Is a question involving
time, strength. facilities for the work and
storing any considerable quantity of pre-
served foods at a time. as we'll as the cost
OF materials. Aside from the discomfort
attending all cooking in hot weather, the
preserving Of fruits does not entail any
great amount of trouble or labor. and most
housekeepers think in this instance. at
least "'Tis tolls reward that sweetens in
dustry."
In regard to canning. especially, the prin-
cipal thing to remember is that complete
sterilization only will insure success. This
being the simplest of processes. there is no
reason why even the inexperienced should
not obtain good results with good ma
terials. Fruit must be fresh and in suit
able condition as to ripeness for whatever
method Of preserving them may be Sc
lected-rather under than overripe for
canning or preserving and less ripe for
jellies in order to have the latter just the
right consistency and not stringy and
tough.
Pineapple Preserve.-Pineapple is deli
cious when preserved In its own juice with
out using any water at all. Carefully peel
the ~pineapples. weigh them and allow
three-quarters of a pound Of sugar to every
pound of fruit. Put the pineapples in a
large earthen crock or bow and sprinkle
the sugar over them. Cover them and let
stand for twenty-four hours. By this time
a clear juice will have about covered them.
Take a silver fork and tear the pulp from
the core OF each pine; drain off the juice
and sugar into a preserving kettle. and
when IL begins TO boil let ii continue for
FIVE minutes, skimming off the scum as 1t
arises; then strain through a fine sieve
over the pineapple pulp. Return the whole

Mrs. George Gould at tn. Polo Game


New York Telegram.
She stood UP on the seat OF her automo-
bile and repeatedly. in her excitement.
urged her husband and boys on. Between
times she perched on the back Of the auto
mobile seat or went down among the points
while the changes were being made, dis
GUESSING points with the players and cheer
ing her own team on.
Mrs. Gould was simply gowned in a gray
Bingham and looked very girlish under the
Tapping brim of a white leghorn hat. Her
frock was collarless. the neck being cut out
in a slight curve at the front and finished
with white embroidered edsing with which
the body and sleeves were trimmed. The
skirt just escaped the ground all around
and was box pleated, the pleats being left
open about six inche below the knees.
She wore her hair braided low in her neck,
with a shell buckle clasped across it This
and her gold chain chatelaine bag were her
sort, and her pretty white hat was as SIM
pie as her frock. 1t was trimmed merely
with a green wreath of tiny leaves and a
few delicate white lowers. She positively
effervesced enthusiasm.
Don't you think those boys play well?"
she asked one OF her friends who came up
TO talk the game over with her. DO L
like to have them play? OF course. I'm
crazy about it."
With such a mother to urge them on and
a father to play with them, no wonder the
Gould boys are crack polo players.
Some OF the women gazed upon Mrs.
Gould with admiration OF her nerve that
was not altogether unmixed with censure.
My" exclaimed an anxious parent,
clutching by the shoulder her admiring
offspring, 'if you had all their money TO
do it, Tommy, l wouldn't let you. I'd
sooner you went to war than play that
game!'
She no doubt voiced the feminine senti-
ment, but the masculine was otherwise and
delighted IN the rush and scramble and
peril OF the most exciting game in the
world.
And how the small boys admired and en-
v1eo! While the Gould sons rode neck or
nothing. urchins in the crowd cheered them
on. calling the magnate's boys Familiarity
by name, and yelling at the top Of their
stout young lungs.

Learning Fast in Porto Rico.

The senii-citizens OF Porto Rico appear
to be getting along very well in their
efforts to master the science of republi-
can government preparatory, presuma-
bly,, to the enjoyment Of full citizenship.
In the Foraker act establishing for them
a new form of government they are call
ed "the people Of Porto Rico'-not citi-
zens. That this unique political classifi-
cation is appropriate is shown by the
reports being sent to this country OF
their exercise CT the franchise bestowed
by the Foraker act. These reports say
that in the last days Of registration
there were many fragrant violations OF
the law and numerous attacks on citi-
zens" Under the law Of their political
existence the word people" should
have been used instead of the word .'citi-
zen.' 1t seens further from these re-
ports that "a large number of members
of the Federal party were not permitted
to register, and the names OF large
number of men belonging to that party
were stricken from the lists for the
most trivial reasons" The account OF
the doings thus winds up: "The Repub-
licans ran everything to suit them
selves Numerous politicians in Wash
ington say they feel outraged by what
appears to be going on in Porto Rico

Commissioner West is to be compli-

Gates. He rightly believes that a docu-
ment OF this kind should be a guar
antee to the purchaser of property in
Washington that there are no back
claims against the real estate, and his
effort to have Congress enact a law
to that effect will meet with distinct
and general approval There is no
good reason why home builders Of the
Capital should find. after they have

New Tricks in Colorado.

The managers OF both parties In Colo
rado. raucus-v6iced and rude. are shout
ing from the mountain tops, aud the
valleys that new form of bribery has
been introduced into their politics by
the Investment of the women with the
full franchise, and that this threatens
so TO complicate the situation that
nothing less than the wisdom of omnip-
otence can forecast the result Of the
pending campaign. 1t is alleged that
the female voters are receiving so much
attention impartially from the candi-
dates of both parties and their helpers
that there is no possible way to guess
which way they will vote. Every adult
specimen of femininity in the State can
get box of candy. carriage ride, or
q box at the theater from any candi-
date merely by intimating a willingness
to accept one or all of these things
that are supposed to be dear to the fe-
male heart The practice is denounced
by the politicians trained in the old
school as bribery. open and shameless.
The result of 1t is that under their
breath nearly all the old political fcxes
OF Colorado are threatening to banish
woman back to the home and nursery
when this election is over.
