THE MANIFOLD
USES OF HONEY

To the uninitiated honey means only
a spread" but the wiser housekeeper
frequently makes use of the follow
ing receipts:
Honey Wine-This is similar to the
honey-mead of the ancient Germans,
who, according to Tacitus, attributed
their health and great age to this I'M
adulterated drink
Put eight gallons of soft water into
a clean boiler, and set over the fire.
When warm, add three quarts of honey
and simmer gently for an hour and a
that time empty the honey water into
an earthen vessel and when blood
warm, put into clean cask. Put the
bung in, but do not fasten. Fermen-
tation usually begins in from five to
ter days. After fermenting two weeks,
draw off into another cask, leaving the
dregs behind When, at the end of
two weeks. fermentation in the secon /
cask is finished, close the bung no e.
In a month the wine will be clear and
ready to drink. Then draw off into
bottles, cork we'll and put into sand.
This is a cooling beverage to use in
feverish conditions, when otker wine
cannot be used.
To Preserve fruits With Honey
in Turkey. many of the choicest sweets
are made with honey in place Of or in
addition TO sugar. This is also the
celebrated Wiesbaden method of can
ming small fruits and berries. Make
rich syrup, allowing one-fourth
pound of sugar and one-fourth pound
of honey to each pint and q hall Of
water. This is just enough for a one
quart lar Boil the syrup down one
third and skim carefully. While the
syrup is boiling, rinse the jar inside
and out with hot water, pack the whole
fruit in the jar, fasten the lid part way,
and set in a rack or in the dripping pan
and put on the back of the range where
it will keep hot. When the syrup is
ready pour over the fruit and seal.
Honey Cake.-Melt a cup of butter
and mix It with two of strained honey,
a tablespoonful Of ginger, a grated nut
meg, a bit of lemon rind and little
-four Dissolve a heaping teaspoonful
of soda i'm a cup of water and strain
into the mixture. Then add flour till
the mixture is stiff enough to roll out.
Bake IKE gingerbread. This cake may
be eaten warm or cold.
Honey Cake No. Stir a half pint
of sour cream into pint Of flour. Add

handle, pull and cut into small pieces.
Honey Lemonade-Make rich
lemonade in the usual way. but
sweeten with honey in place of sugar.
This will be found agreeable and slim
ulating.
Honey Sandwiches-Cut bread that
Ia day old in thin slices. Spread one
slice with butter beaten to a cream
and the other with honey. Take care
that the honey does not come close
enough to the edge to soil the fingers.
Press the slices together. Arrange
daintily on a plate and garnish witk
clover blossoms and leaves.
Rice Griddle Cakes and Honey
Boil a cupfu1 of rice. When it is cold,
mix thoroughly with 1 pint of sweet
milk the yolks of 4 eggs and enough
-four to make a stiff batter Add L
tablespoonful of melted butter, l tea
spoonful of soda. of cream of tartar,
and a little salt. Fold in the heated
whites of the eggs and bake on a hot
griddle. AS fast as baked, butter
spread with honey. roll up and serve
hot.
Biscuit and Honey-When all's said
and done, the most delicious way of
using honey is with fresh, white bread
or baldng-powder biscuit Serve in
individual glass dishes and give thanks.

From the Louisville Courier-J Journal.
How are snails cooked and how are
they eaten?"
This question was asked hundreds OF
times yesterday, when the announce
ment was made that a small quantity
of edible snails had been received in
Louisville from Sicily, where they are
grown. The idea of eating snails is
new to most of the citizens of Louis
vile, and they wondered how they
were prepared and whether they taste
good.
An Italian, who eats the snails when
ever he can get them, was appealed
to. He says snails are good, that
they taste like nothing else in the
world, having peculiar, delicious
flavor all their own. They must be
caught just at the proper season or
they are not good, and will make one
i'll. The snail, in the first place, is
of peculiar variety 1t is small,
with white shell and is usually fat
and round. During the dry season in
Sicily the snails bury themselves in
the earth, a film growing over the
hole in the shell. They are thus sealed
up almost entirely from the outside
air. While sealed up they live on what
they have eaten during the previous
days, thus getting rid of all the green
matter which is taken into the body.
After they have been sealed for several
days they are ready to be eaten.
In preparing them for food the snail
is dropped alive into boiling water.
The water melts the film which sealed
in the snail and the heat cooks him.
After a few minutes of boiling the
body has become hardened and may
be drawn, whole, out of the she'll II
is then ready to be eaten, and many
different fancy dishes may be prepared
from the cooked snails. They may be
made into salads. served with sauce.
but most people eat them just as they
are pulled out of the shell after the
boiling.

Many prophets have been saying that
this will be the woman's century. At
any rate, it looks as If the old maid
would disappear before its close. The
bellies of d generation or two ago We're
sixteen or eighteen years old, and
woman of twenty-five was regarded as
hopelessly stranded If no man had won
her. Today the unmarried women do
not begin to call themselves bachelor
maids'-the most recent euphemism
for "old maid"-until they are past
thirty.

Mrs. Caroline Scott of Frankford,
Pa. has the reputation of being the
greatest lover of animals in that town.
yet she kills from 500 to 1000 animals
every year. Mrs. Scott began her
grewsome occupation thirty-five years
ago. when her interest in dumb ami
mails brought many cases to her atten-
ton in which nothing could be done
but to put the animal as painlessly as
possible to death. The work gradually
extended until now Mrs. Scott is called
upon whenever any animal in Frank
ford is i'll with an incurable disease or
wounded beyond hope of recovery. She
kills it by putting it in box and filling
Ii with gas.

Rural Delivery Notes

The purpose of the rural free deliv-
cry service Is to give postal facilities
to those who have none, to carry the
mails daily to remote communities the
residents Of which would have to trav-
Ell from two to twelve miles daily to
receive their letters and papers. In Or
der to secure and maintain this service
there is one condition absolutely es-
sentiaLthe roads must be good.
At Lafayette, Ind, all the mail box
es along the rural carriers routes are
Of galvanized iron Of uniform size and
painted and are nailed on posts high
enough to bring them level with the
postal wagon.
The development of the rural free
delivery service has been accompanied
by the discontinuance Of a great many
small post offices and star routes. This
Is a saving to the government that is
expected to amount to between $6,O00,-
900 or 100000 during the next fiscal
year.

Iowa Is rapidly coming to the front
In the campaign of education and or
ganlzatlon for road improvement. At
the Des MONIES good roads convention
resolutions were adopted favoring ma
tional aid in cooperation with states,
counties and municipalities In n gen
eral scheme for road Improvement.
One of the arguments advanced In fa-
vor Of the national aid plan Is that 1t
will tend to eQualize the distribution
of the funds appropriated by congress.
1t is pointed out that, while a large
part Of the revenues collected by the
federal government comes directly or
indirectly from the farming population,
only very small per cent of the ap-
propriations is spent In the rural dis
trcts. The spending of national funds
for building and improving highways
would relieve this injustice to some ex-
tent and would tend to stimulate the
farmers interest in public affairs more
than almost anything the government
could do.

How to Preserve Altar of Roses.

When one is fortunate enough to
own bottle of altar of rose, the genu-
inc article. great pains should be taken
to preserve its contents without evap-
grafton. For this purpose the glass
stopper should be removed and a close
a piece of kid-a glove finger is excel
lent for the purpose-and the rich per
fume will retain its fragrance for
years. The genuine altar of rose, like
the best olive oil, will freeze, affording
proof of its purity.

How to Clean n Rain Coat.

This is an excellent way Of cleaning
the mud or your cloak: To take Off
the stains rub with plain warm water.
Dip the garment in cold soft water;
soap proceed to scrub It all over, having
spread the garment flat on the table.
When the dirt is removed, dip the coat
in repeated waters to get rid Of the
suds, but do not wiring it. Hang 1t up
in the air or in an airy room TO dry, but
do not put near the fire. Paint or
grease spots may be removed by scour
ing drops or spirits Of turpentine but
common soap will do the rest. The
dirtiest parts will require most scrub
bling. In cleaning mackintoshes al
ways avoid hot water.
