But we must continue our tour. The
chapel, a fine brick building, has
seating capacity for 1000 persons, an
elevated stage with a large pipe organ,
where on concert nights the orchestra
(of students) is seated. Ministers of
all denominations, speakers of all
creeds and PHILOSOPHERS are heard here
the school is non-sectarian.
Noon has come, and a great stir all
over the grounds is noticeable. Hun
dreds of young people flock to the din
ing halls. After all are seated at the
tables short grace is sung, and then
mattresses (girls who earn their tut
ton in this way) appear, carrying
steaming dishes and platters.
Dine Together.
We passed along the rows of diners;
boys and girls belonging to the same
classes in school are seated at the
same table. A merry conversation is
kept up. but all behave with faultles5
IprOpriety. The meal consists of fish,
meat, rice corn bread, sweet potatoes
and pie. Eighteen hundred students of
the African race seated here together

erty of the colored race. Excellent
bathing facilities seem to give the same
satisfactory results for all races alike.
The dining rooms for the teachers
are ON the second floor of the same
building. We were invited to take a
meal-a well cooked. neatly served
and greatly relished meal. A pleas
ant conversation with some of the
teachers made us feel quite at home.
At the head of the table sat the dean
of the girls department a graduate
of Oberlin college. gracious and refin-
ed in manners and an intelligent con-
verser. My viS-a-viS was a graduate
of Fiske university. a teacher of natur-
al sciences, a gentleman IN manners
and a scholar; his Scotch name had
been taken by his parents from their
master. a Scotchman. Many of these
teachers at Tuskegee are but one gen

HINTS ON PRESERVING.
How to Make Jams and Jellies Out O,
Fruit.

Fruit.
Now is the season when fruit is
abundant cheap and in the best condi.
ton for making jams, preserves and
| Jellies. Preserves mean fruit that is
| cooked with sugar, equal weight, and
left whole or nearly so. Jams are
where the fruit is crushed and boiled
with sugar to thick mass. Jelly is
where only the juice Of the fruit is
used, with an equal quantity of sugar,
cup for cup full.
Blackberries, raspberries, plums,
| greengages and peaches are best for
| jam. Red currants, Concord grapes,
apples, crab apples and ounces make
the best jelly, while all the fruits can
| be simply preserved made into jam
| or canned. But canning is not con-
| sidered here; it Is too difficult to give
| certain rules for. But these three kinds
of preserved fruits never spoil if made
after these rules
To make good jellies the housekeeper
iIuoL navy plOPSL ulCllSl4S. OSliJ
glasses with metal covers cost but lit
tle and the smaller size gives the best
satisfaction. Pint bottles for preserves
and jam are better than larger ones.
An eight quart agate kettle, an agate
spoon, a skinner, wooden spoon, a
dipper holding pint, measuring cup,
a fruit funnel and pair of scales to
weigh sugar and fruit are needed; also
cheesecloth jelly bag.
Jelly cannot be made of Strawberries
alone, as they lack pectin. Apples,
crab apples, currants and grapes have
the most SO by adding the juice from
any one of those fruits to the straw
berries jelly can be made.
The jelly bag of cheesecloth should
be wrung out of hot water when the
boiled fruit is put into it to drain.
All fruits for jelly should be put into
the kettle with just water enough to
be visible at the top and then boiled
long enough to cook the fruit. A few
minutes suffice for all except pears and
ounces. Apples and ounces should
be washed and quartered without peel
ing or taking out the cores for jelly.
For preserves ounces should be peeled
and cOred.
When cooked, fruit, juice and all are
to be put in the jelly bag, hung up and
left to drain al night The clear juice
Is then measured, cup, for cup of juice
and sugar, which must have been dried
SO that it Is hot in the oven. Boil it
twenty minutes over a gentle fire, TAX
ing off the scum as it rises without stir
ring Have the jelly glasses standing
on wet cloths, each with spoon in it.
Fill and let the jelly stand all night
and in the morning pour melted white
wax over the surface. This keeps it
from molding. Paste the name of each
kind on the glass, cover and wrap in
dark blue paper. 1t is better to have
the fruit under rather than over ripe.
Preserved ounces, pears and other
hard fruit should be pared, cored and
quartered and put to boil with one
quarter of a pound of sugar 10 each
pint Of water. Boil until q straw will
pierce them Take them out of the sirup
and add thren-uuarters more of sugar
