down to very plain supper, and he
began to cool Off. BY the time we were
through he said to me;
"sYou dug me out, Of course, but

waited until tomorrow. I want you to

to jog on.

The 5siiyfng properties of sour apples

jeIly is the easiest jelly to make, as it
always jeil3es and requires three

If any one fails in making grape, rasp-

experiment be tried of melting the

OF strained apple juice, according to
the amount of jelly perhaps one pint

try a teaspoonfui in a saucer, pour it
into glasses, and thick, firm jelly will
result without a change in favor or

hours, then drain out the feathers,
spreading out somewhat When cool

sible by handfuls, put into cases and
fasten by one end. to the clothesline In

the pillows three or four times a day
until dry, changing ends every time
they are rehung. Three or four breezy,

How to sweep.
There are in the doing of little things,
even in Homework, right way and a
wrong way-a good way and a bad
way. Consider for moment the item
Of sweeping with broom. The next
time you undertake it notice your
broom. Do you find that you hold it,
or move It rather, in front Of you-the
brush farther forward than the handle
each stroke raising the brush and
with it a cloud of dust into the air and
the space beyond? If SO, try this way:
Stand with the broom rather behind
you, partly facing 1.-THE brush farther
back than the tip Of the handle. Used
in this way you will find that the dust
rises no higher than the brush; that, in
fact, little rises, but Is gradually moved
to one central point, where it may be
easily gathered into the dustpan.
Swept in this way, even dusty room
may be perfectly tidied without, dis
comfort to any person who may be
obliged to reaaa1n in 1t during the proc
eSs.
