Household Hints.

1t matters not how well the storeroom
closet shelves may have already been
supplied with jells and jams, translucent
preserves and spicy relishes, the average
housewife who has her own garden to
draw from cannot bear to stay her hand
as long as any remnant Of fruit or ve2e-
table seems going to waste on tree or
vine.
Some of the most delicious sweets and
relishes may now be made from the sea-
sons ''ieft0yers'-the scraggly lunches
of Isabella grapes that have failed TO
ripen; the big. fat. yellow cucumbers gone
to seed; the green tomatoes that the first
frost will turn to no avail; the winter
pears. not fine enough to serve for eating
out of hand: the crabapples and ounces;
cabbages. green and red nasturtium buds
and string beans.
If you have never canned any of the
latter and can possibly get hold of any
now to do, try this good old New Hamp-
shire recipe and then paste it in your
scrapbook for annual reference:
Canned Beans Ga la Whiteface)-Take
fresh snap beans and string and cut them
as if for immediate use. Put a layer of
the uncoOked beans in a crock or jar and
sprinkle with salt. allowing q half cup Of
salt to each quart Of beans. Proceed iii
this way until the jar is flied, then fasten
alright, with the salt at the top. They
will keep all winter and taste almost as
good as fresh and far better than the
average canned ones. Several jars of
these on hand will prove of distinct adj
vantage for use in early spring before
other vegetables are ready.
Spiced Grapes-A fine big stone jar OF
spiced grapes to call upon IN emergencies

sides The Housekeepers' JOY"
Few other relishes keep so easily, so so
we'll with every variety of meats Or stay
so uninterruptedly in favor.
For this purpose the late Isabella
grapes, not very well ripened, are the
best Have in readiness two preserving
kettles. Strip the grapes, one by one,
from the stem, popping the pulp into
one kettle and throwing the skins into
the other. Put both kettles over the fire,
adding little water to each-just enough
to keep them from scorching. AS soon
as the seeds loosen from the pulp, rub
through a colander and add to the skins
For five pounds of the grapes, weighed
before picking from the stems. allow four
pounds of brown sugar. pint of vinegar,
tablespoonful each Of cloves and CHINA
mon, teaspoonful of allspice and a
sprinkle Of pepper. Put all together and
cook slowly for three or four hours until
quite thick.
Grape Catsup-Boil seven pounds of
grapes and press through a colander to
retain seeds and tough skins. Then add
three and half pounds of sugar q mint
and a half of vinegar, tablespoonful
each Of salt, cinnamon, cloves. allspice
ana a saltspoon of cayenne Boil slowly
until of good body, bottle and seal

Merchants Second Purchase

A story is told of Louisiana merchant
who came to New York determined to Sc
cure a bargain. He wanted cheap cloaks,
and after trying in vain to suit himself
at the wholesale houses he bought Job
lot at auction. He examined the goods
hurriedly and had them shipped home.
In due time he was confronted by an ex-
cited head salesman who said the gar
ments were out of style.
They didn't look that way" said the
merchant
But they are,' replied the clerk.
The merchant persisted that the cloaks
would sell, but they didn't. In despera-
ton he returned them to New York to be
disposed of to best advantage. On his
next trip to New York he again visited
ar auction house and bought lot of
cloaks. When he returned home and ex-
amined his purchase he saw that he had
bought the same lot as before.-The

The SQUIRREL Is King.


There's q season that's brimful of gladness
and JOY.
When the harpstrings of life gladly ring:
lis the bright golden autumn, unknown
to~alloy.
When the little brown squirrel is king.
When the bushy tailed fellow is lord over
all.
The woods are decked gayly TO greet him,
While scarlet tinged leaves from the poplar
tree fall
And dance DER the meadows to meet him.
Thro woodlands he scurres, 10y runets he
hurres.
To the hickory tree in the wood:
And as happy is he as king ere could be.
Though he wears not circlet of gold.
Heigho TO the monarch of dingle and hol-
lev.
His praises let everyone sing:
For we must needs be merry, be happy and

The Morning Hurry.

As far as is possible we should avoid
che hurry and furry that usually pre-
gedes the slam OF the front door. as the
children get off to school. 1t is difficult
10 manage. there is no doubt. The moth
sr dislkes more than anything else, per-
haps, waking her child out of sound
sleep, and this often has to be done if he
is to have his breakfast and dress prop
erly before school. Usually She leaves
him till the very last minute, if he is
sleeping. and then a hastily eaten break
fast and hurry and hustle to get off is
the result. This can only be obviated sat
isfactorily by instituting earlier hours for
going to bed, that the child may wake
early as a natural thing.
In many homes, even without the late
sleeping, there is hurry in the morning
The children are allowed to get into lazy
habits and procrastinate to an -exasperaI-
ing and injurious degree. Then, as the
mement approaches when the leaving for
school can be no longer delayed, there is
undue anxiety on the part of the mother
and a scene of excitement that is good
for neither mother nor children
Mother, where's my capg' II can't
strap" Such ordinations are familiar
to the mother and, occurring at the elev-
enth hour, are a source of trouble and
veXation
Orderly habits are eminently to be de
sired and should he inculcated; but, small
children, and indeed big ones, are fallible
in this direction, and unless everything
it put ready to hand the might before
there are bound to be some losses in the
morning. And the mother who gives too
much oversight is as bad in her way as
the careless mother; she trains her chill
dren to Incompetence and responsibility.
Each child should feel that he is respons-
IDLE for his own clothes and his own
books, and after a time, when he has
experienced the discomfort of pro-
longed search at the last moment or the
loss of something which he really needs,
be will learn that the easiest thing is to
be tidy.
Send the children from the door with
happy faces; and let them see your
own smiling face as the last look is
given. The best digester for break
fast and the best preparation for school
work are happy. ight-hearted minds and
smiling countenances as a parting
yision.-Health Culture.

A Woman's Expectations.

A great deal is said in print about the
woman wage Garner and the things her
employer expects from her, these require
ments covering generally her work, her
manners and her dress.
That day is past when the first one Of
these requirements--the actual service
rendered-sufticed, if it ever really did
suffice. Since men have employed wom-
en- they have been Influenced by womanly
dress and conduct. IT will always be SO,
and it is as it should be. The girl who
wishes to be believed competent, me-
thOdical business woman should look the
part, and her dignity and gentleness of
bearing should justify the responsibility
placed upon her.
But there is another side to the sub
ject. Nobody in authority discourses

Grandmother's Corner.

1T scares me to see you tackle such q
job said grandmother. Suppose you
cannot do it. then you will be hoored"
The daughter laughed rather nervously,
but proceeded with her snip-snapping as
she ripped the cover off the Norris chair
cushion.
six dollars is an awful price to pay to
ding her head sympatheticiaIly, but neal
", [ would be afraid to undertake it,
why, mother said Mary cheerfully,
Il can get new cushions for So. And #
make botch Of it, l can buy new
cushions. But I'll not make botch''
Grandmother reached for her scissors
and commenced Oh the other cushion.
Soon the buttons were off and the cover
ripped, and the whole thing Slid easily
from the cushion, revealing Oblong hair
pads covered with coarse white cotton
stuff
Whats the next step, Mary" said
grandmother, as she quakingly viewed
the ruin before her
RIP the covers anart for patterns,
said Mary, and soon they had them
ready.
"Pll never dare to slash into that new
tapestry said grandmother, looking
around helplessly
Never mind, I'll do that said Mary,
and she took much care and frowned
with earneStness as she laid the patterns
on the tapestry folded double
Grandmother leaned back and did not
dare to say a word. or it might precipi-
tate a mistake. The keen scissors bit
mercllessly into the new material and
soon the requisite pieces were ready
Has the machine a heavy needle on"
said Mary, and grandmother hurried to
adjust one.
II shall sew it on the right side and
then. turn and fell it on the wrong side,
leaving welted seam to stand out all
round. Just as it was originality" saf1
Mary, in an explanatory aside.
Don't forget to leave it open on one
side" grandmother reminded her, ana
then the steady hum of the machine filled
the room.
1t did not take long to stitch it, then
it was slipped on to the cushions and
felled by hand along the open side.
Grandmother hunted out a carpet
needle and carpet thread and went at
the tufting. The new buttons had been
made from a piece of the tapestry and
matched perfectly.
She went through the cushion, leav-
ing knot hanging loose by several
inches Of thread: ON the other side She
caught the button and came through the
cushion, putting it snug. On this side
she caught the other button, clipped off
her thread, leaving few inches.
This with the knotted ends She tied
mo nara KnOI, several OF them, ana
clipping off ends when done.
Mary started at the other cushion, and
an hour flew by. Two hours passed,
and the tufting was finished.
They marked straight lines for the
purpose by the aid of tape measure
and piece of French chalk.
