PUTTING Up Fruit.

To be successful in canning fruit
these rules must be carefully OBJ
served: When using the self-seallng
Jars (Which are best for most fru1ts)
care must be taken to have good lids
and rubber rings Sometimes one Will
overlook a defective lid, unless great
care is taken, for small holes Will
come in the sides of lid large enough
to let the air in, yet can scarcely be
seen with the naked eye. Have your
fruit boiling hot and the jar full, so
the air will all be driven out. Sweeten
your fruit before it is canned. The
flavor will be better and it does not
require as much sugar to sweeten 1t
as it does afterwards; the sugar cooks
into the fruit, instead of settling to
the bottom, as it does when cold.
After Tightening the lids turn the jars
tops downwards and place in a cool,
dry closet or cellar and keep the room
darkened, as light fades the fruit and
it does not keep so well. Many prefer
tin cans for peaches and tomatoes.
Where they are used, and especially
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1904-07-15

high polish should not be aimed at,
but instead, fine, even finish; neck
bands of shirts should be ironed into
their original shape and set up at right
angles with the shirt to allow the
neck free play. Very stiff work does
more damage to your linen than wear
and washing combined. Solid and
flexible Is the thing.

To Enamel Furniture.

Smooth all rough places and fill
cracks with putty, then paint the ar
ticle to be enameled, with common
paint; let it dry well, then give two
coats of enamel paint. The coat of
common paint fills the wood and saves
the enamel and besides this, the en-
amel stays on better. The common
paint must be the same color as the
enamel. The enameled furniture is
so popular now that one can take adj
vantage of this and have a new, fresh
looking bed room suite by enameling
one which has become old and faded.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1904-07-15

for the second time, the cans should
be lined with white paper to avoid
danger of tin poisoning. Cut circle
of paper to fit bottom of cans and a
strip wide enough to cover the sides,
fill the cans with fruit and place a
circle of the paper on top. On pouring
out the fruit the can will be found to
be perfectly dry.

Cherry Vinegar.

There are few drinks more refresh
ing than that made from half an inch
of cherry vinegar in the bottom OF a
tumbler, into which ice water is
poured and stirred until the glass is
full. Cover any quantity of pie
cherries (sour red cherries) with good
cider vinegar in wooden or earthen
vessel. Bruise and stir them occa-
sionally for four days. Then to every
pint of carefully strained juice add a
pound of granulated sugar. Boil for
a quarter of an hour. Skim and keep
in well-corked bottles.

small bits. Place these in the bottom
of your baking pan, turn in the mac
caroni and mix them together, salt
and pepper to taste, with butter size
of an egg. Pour over this enough
sweet milk scalding hot to soak the
bread and come to the top of it, then
cut real thin slices of cheese and lay
over it. Bake twenty minutes in a
moderate oven.

Baby Screen.

To keep the flies and mosquitoes off
the baby, make frame of light mater
ial (about II by Pinch stuff and cover
with mosquito netting. Make large
enough to set down over the baby
while he is sleeping. This is quite an
improvement on the old way of spread
ing the netting over the child as the
frame holds the netting up so the
hands will not reach it. If one has
the desire for a more convenient and
serviceable article the frame may be
hinged together so it will fold, and
screen wire may be used instead Of the
mosquito netting

Raspberry Jam.

To use one-third currants to two
thirds raspberries is better than
berries alone. Mash the fruit well
and let it boil twenty minutes. Weigh
the quantity. To every pound of fruit
allow quarters of a pound of
sugar. After this is put in let it
boil until, by taking some out on
plate to try it, no juice gathers about
it. Then it is ready to put away and
will keep without sealing. Put in
stone jars and cover with paratlne
wax, to keep off dust.

Boston Baked Beans.

Soak beans over night in fresh
water. In the morning put them in
a kettle in sufficient water to par-boil
them until they have shriveled ap-
pearance Pour off the water, add salt
to the beans, stir them up and trans
fer to the bean-pot Place in the mid
die of the beans a piece of picked
pork Mix in a cup four tablespoon
fuls molasses, one-half teaspoon soda
and a little cayenne pepper, pour over
the beans, fill the pot with warm water,
put in the oven and bake all day.
Watch that the water does not dry out
until the beans are thoroughly done.
Place in moderate oven about half
hour in advance of the meal for which
they are desired, without any water.
To keep the house cool in summer,
leave all the windows open through the
night, and before the air has become
heated draw all shades down closely
to keep out the sun. Do not close
the rooms too tightly or they will soon
have a musty smell. Keep open win
dows on the shady side of the house
all day.
Fresh fruits should always be
cooked in porcelain-lined vessels, as
the acid in the fruit acts upon the tin.
Raspberries contain so many seeds,
which make them indigestible, it is
good plan to remove at least part of
their seeds when preparing them, and
their flavor may be obtained by using
only their Juice.

Currant Jelly.

Wash and strip the currants from
the stems and put them in a preserv-
ing kettle. Mash them as they get
hot and let them boil half an hour;
then turn them into coarse hair
sieve or jelly bag and let them drip.
When through dripping, without
squeezing any, measure and pour into
the kettle to cook After it has boiled
about ten minutes put in the heated
sugar, one pint of cider, half ounce
each pint of juice put in, and the jelly
will set as soon as the sugar is dis
solved, about three-quarters OF an
hour.

JAP AND RUSS AT
PEACE CONGRESS
Delegates from Warning Nations
Clasp Hands-Congo to Be
Probed.

Boston, Oct. S.-The International
peace congress assembled today for it's
closing session Of the thirteenth annual
meeting. President Paine, saying that
representatives Of all the great nations
had been given an opportunity to re-
spond, introduced Jiro Abraham Of
Toxic to speak for Japan. Mr.. Alb
ratani in the course Of his remarks said
he was willing to admit that militarism
was on the increase in Japan, but, he
declared, there were good grounds for
the expectation that when the present
conditions were brought to an end,
peace would be the moving spirit Of the
nation. W, ~. - -..>
DR.. John Chirug, delegate for Russia,
asked for movement to correct a
statement made yesterday by John Bur
rows of England and this was granted.
AS Mr.. Chirug passed to the platform,
where Mr.. Abraham was sitting, a wom-
an. delegate arose, and said:
DR.. 5Chirug, it would gladden. my
heart to see you shake hands with Mr..
Abratani-Russia and Japan in friendly
clasp

sian answered, as he moved toward the
Japanese and warmly seized his hand,
saying: .'sI am glad to greet fellow
man. ~ ~
When DIR. Chirug had concluded his
statement the committee on questions
of the day reported resolutions in favor
of an investigation into the present
government. Of the Congo free state.

SILENCE AT FRONT
OMEN OF BATTLE
Curtain Falls on Mukden After
Announcement of a Panic
There. . .
st. Petersburg Believes Kuropat-
kin Is Strengthening Posi-
ton, but Is Anxious.

st. Petersburg, Oct. S.-The meager-
ness Of the news from the front is in
creasing the uncertainty regarding the
developments. There is good warrant
for the belief that General Kuropatkin
is strengthening his left flank to meet
the Japanese turning movement, his
troops occupying a triangle, from Flu
shun to Mukden and Tie pass. Over
800 guns have arrived at the front, and
the activity of the Russian skirmishers
below the Hun river creates the i'm
preston that Kuropatkin may contem-
plate assuming the offensive. The war
office. however, gives no announcement
of this idea, tho naturally, if such 6,
move is contemplated, the war office
could not be expected to admit it.
The last message from Mukden was
that of late hour Thursday, saying
that the city had been thrown into a
fever of,excitement. Nothing followed
to indicate the nature of the commo-
ton, and the continued silence would
indicate that some important move
ment has taken place, possibly that
Kuroki has cut into Kuropatkin' s left
flank to the northeast.

Business was poor with one purse
snatcher last night. rs
There was no fault to be found with

hold-ups, but the first robbery netted
him only lady's rubber, the second
one, 67 cents. .--@ r-
The first victim was Miss Julia Mel
Counter cou "a at Dayton $ store. Miss Nelson
was on her way home from the store
early in the evening. She left the car
at Chicago avenue and Seventeenth
street to 90 but few steps to her home.
At the corner on Seventeenth street is
a Lutheran church. AS she entered the
shadow Of the church she noticed man
ahead Of. her,, who waited for her to;
F'I was frightened, for I feared the
man meant harm, said Miss Nelson
today. 'Without saying a word, he
snatched at my purse. In the, other
hand 1 had a rubber which had come off
as left the car. I screamed as loud
as I could and dropped rubber and
walk. The man grabbed up something
and ran. I looked and found he had
left the purse and was running with the
rubber. The purse contained little
cash, but it was nice purse and was
glad to retain it. My courage returned,
and I followed the man. After running
block he dropped the rubber and I re-
| covered it. No, T did not call, stop,

The second robbery, believed to have
been perpetrated by this same man, was
the snatching Of a purse containing 81
cents from Miss Ida Ebert when she
was on Eighteenth street within twenty

of the first robbery. It was early in
the evening. She noticed man follow
