Picked Lemons.

In case any one should like to try
picked lemons, here is recipe by
which to make them:
Choose dozen nice. sound lemons and
slit the rind up into four quarters. but
do not break the fruit. Fill the cracks
with plenty of salt and set them up
right in deep pan In warm place
till the salt melts. Turn the lemons
very often and basic with the liquor
till they are tender. 1t will take about
a week for them to become soft. Then
drain off the liquor and put the lem
ons in Il jar. Meantime boil the liq-
uor with two quarts OF vinegar, half
pound O. bruised ginger. quarter OF
puunt, OF mustard seed 4 quarter OF
q pound of back pepper. When u polis
pour ii over the lemons az! when cool
tie down. This pickle Wa keep for
years, bnt il ought to be stored some
months before using.

THE SPANISH NOVIO.
Gallant Who Rarely WEEDS the

Maiden He Attends
A Spanish maiden who is in the
least attractive is always attended by
a young man. He is called her novio.
and it is his privilege to accompany
her on her walks. though of course al
ways with either her mother or IL maid
to play propriety. His courtship sell
dom ends In his becoming engaged to
the young lady, but While it lasts She
has TO be obedient and loyal to him.
If he should transfer his affec' ions
to another fair damsel, the sighted one
has no redress, for he is quite at liber-
ty to do So their friendship never be-
ing regarded in the light of formal
engagement Marriages are settled by
the heads of the two families chiefly
concerned, and until such an arrange
ment is made the young Spaniard may
be novio to as many girls as he likes,
one after another. This custom has
certainly more advantages for the men
than ii has for the maidens. but yet
few Spanish girls would care to be
without novio however tickle he
might be.
