straw .,erry Jelly.
The More.lo cl.srry is che OF the best
for the purpose of making candied
cherries, according to Table Talk, in
which the following recipes occur.
ANY slightly tart cherry, however, will
do for this conserve:
Pit and weigh the fruit, allowing
one-half of pound Of granulated sug-
ar for each pound of fruit. Spread in
alternate layers in an earthen or gran
lite pan, and let stand overnight.
Drain off the juice and undissolved
sugar, heat and boil slowly for thirty
minutes. Drop in part of the fruit at
a time and simmer for fifteen miutes.
Skim out and spread on large platters.
Stand in the sun, covering with fine
cotton or wire gauZe to protect from
insects. Boil down the strip until
very thick. Each night bring in the
dishes and set in a cool, dry place. In
the morning turn them into the bowl
of strip. stir up till well moistened.
then skim out again on the dishes and
place in the sun for the day. If
stormy. do not expose to dampness.
BY the time the strip Is used up the
cherries should be quite dry. Let
stand in the sun for another day, then
pack in small jars or in boxes lined
with waxed paper.
The Candy is the best variety for
making strawberry jelly, although it
Is usually the latest in the market.
For canning and preserving the dark
colored fruit is much superior to the
light, even If the berries are smaller
Underripe rather than overripe should
be the rule, and for jelly especially 1t
is advisable to have the berries still a
little green at the tips. Use firm, per-
feet fruit. Lay aside about half, and
press the Juice from the rest. Strain.
and to each pint Of juice allow one
pound of sugar Weigh the berries,
put aside and add to them the same
weight of sugar. Boil the juice about
twenty minutes, add the sugar. which
should be heated in the oven. and boil
fifteen minutes longer. Add the mixed
fruit and sugar to the jelly and SIM
mer few minutes longer. Seal when
cold
Only fresh. firm, perfect strawber-
ries should be selected for canning.
Hull, wash and drain, but handle very
carefully. not to crush the fruit. Meas
ure the berries after they are hulled.
Allow teacupful of graduated sugar
to each quart of fruit. Put the sugar
and berries in layers in preserving
kettle and allow 1t to stand an hour.
Then bring slowly to the boiling point
and let simmer two minutes. Do not
stir the fruit Seal at once.

sign is the plated skirt with a hip
piece of openwork over silk. This
model has sack bolero with short
plated stoles and wide cape collar
adorned with vandyked openwork and
trimmed with motifs of cream guipure.
1t has wide bell sleeves and can be
worn with any pretty waist.
A Paris correspondent notes as fact

do not care TO adhere to the smart lit

silk tassels and cords. A narrow vel

color is becoming finish to these at
tractive capes.

Although the full skirts. full sleeves

Of this city was entered last night by

about midnight and robbed of silks to the
value Of $500. The robbery was not dis

when a woman called to purchase silk, at
which time the loss vas discovered by
Manager r. H. Adams. Investigation was
at once made and Night Waterman Teats
reported that prior to midnight the win

were down. He tried the door and found
It locked. but the probability is that the
robbers were then quietly at work. Sus-
picion is directed towards two men whose
description was sent here by Chief Of
Police Hamilton Of Kearney. Their names
are Michae Hayes and Haley. These two
men we're arrested in Kearney for a rob-
berry committed in Grand Island two weeks
ago, taken there for trial, but released
for want of evidence. Two men answering
their description were seen here after
midnight by a Union Pacific coal detective
in the railroad yards. They were skulk-

parties or the recovery OF the goods.

interesting addresses we're listened to. The
first was by President L.. S. Deeth, who
spoke on What the Institute VIII Accom-

showed the. advantage Of institutes, where
farmers could exchange. ideas and obtain
the opinions Of experts in the various de-
partments Of agriculture and stock raising.
Hon. d. p. Ashburn Of Gibbon was the next
speaker, his subject being Breeding and
Selection Of Seed Corn" His address.
which was a most interesting one, was
closely listened to. His remarks were
illustrated by large pictures Of the different
