JELLY ALWAYS A FAvoRITE,
Process That Will Get Best Results
from Ever Popular crabapple.

Wash the apples, remove the bios
som end and cut in small pieces. Do
not peel or core, for skins and seeds
Improve the color and quality of the
Jelly. Cover with cold water and cook
gently until soft. Keep closely covered
so they will steam, but do not stir or
mash more than necessary, If you wish
your jelly clear. When very soft and
the liquid red, turn into the jelly bag
and let hang to drain over night. In
the morning measure the liquid. Cook
ten minutes, skim, then boil fifteen
minutes longer. Add sugar, three-quar.
tiers OF a pound to each pint of Juice.
Cook five minutes longer, or until a
little poured into cold saucer, jellies
around the edge, then skim and turn
into glasses that have been rolled in
hot water to avoid breakages. The
sugar should be hot when added to the
syrup. The best way Is after measur.
ing the amount required to spread 1t
on shallow tins like pie tins and set
In the oven, leaving the door open so
that 1t will not get too hot. 1t must
not be allowed to turn yellow, as 1t
will do II overheated. 1t should be
just hot enough to hiss when dropped
into the hot syrup. When the jelly is
quite cold cover with melted parafin
or rounds Of paper wet with white Of
egg or brandy. Then put on the
screw top or paste paper over the top.
Label your various jellies and pre-
serves legibly, so that you can tell at
once what you are getting. If you like
your crabapple favored, add a little
lemon juice or pineapple Juice while
cooling. Rose geranium is nice also.
Put leaf in the bottom Of each glass,
and its flavor will pervade the whole.

Cherry Turnovers.

Drain canned or preserved cherries
into pound Of -four, and rub a cup
Of butter. When like a coarse pow.
der, moisten with a teacupful, or less
Of iced water, and work to a paste,
handling as little as possible. Roll out
upon a -four board, fold up and roll
out again, and yet once more. If very
cold, still, use at once. II not, set in
the Ice chest until chilled. Chop the
cherries from which the pits must
have been removed, unless this was
done before canning them), add two
beaten eggs and the Juice of one
lemon. Roll out the paste, and cut
into rounds the size Of large biscuit.
Put tablespoonful Of the mixture on
One-half Of the round, and turn the
other half over upon the fruit and
itself, pinching the edges together.
Lay these half circles In a Toured bak.
ing pan and bake to a golden brown.
These are good, hot or cold. Sift pow.
dered sugar over them before serving.

this season. For an etching the
palmer The frame is the better, and
those without any carving or orna-
mentation except for a metal ring that
surrounds the opening and a narrow
holding at the outer edge are in great
demand.
For English and "old" prints the
plain rosewood, mahogany and walnut
frames are best adapted. Some of
these are frightened by a simple gilt
line about one-quarter of an inch in
width, placed about the opening. Care
should be taken to show the original
margin on these old prints, for the
ragged outline stamps them as genu-
inely antique"
Portraits and photographs are used
with or without mats, in plain wood
or brass frames.
Oil paintings to give brightness are
usually framed in gold. This autumn
the style Of gold instead of being
bright is the dull antique finish.
Hand-carved frames are also much
used, both in the natural wood and in
the antique gold, for oils.

The railroad men have a new
story: A bakeman got up to a
lunch counter from a "way-Iate"
Santa Fe train. He loaded up
the commissary department with q
big supply of pork and beans and
mince pie. He got to sleep and
dreamed and thought that he was
rallroading in the future when
rallroading was all done up in the
alr-balloon fashion. They had a
big explosion on the ETHEREAL rail.
road and when they all had
reached the earth-the Alton and
Rock Island and Wabash and
Milwaukee, the train men looked
around to see how they had Jared
and some one noticed the absence
of the Santa Fe. Where's the
Santa Fei" was the universal
query. A man who knew the
way of the road when they ran on
rails looked up toward the moo,
and saw them coming-as usual
thirty minutes late.

Hot Plates.

In cold weather the viands on the
table cool so quickly that the family
is often forced to eat lukewarm vege-
tables, which are unpalatable at any
time and particularly so on cold days.
In order that they may lose their heat
as little as possible after being taken
from the hot covered dishes the plates
should be warmed before being put
at each place.
They should not be warmed in the
over or they will crack, but II put on
the mantel above the range for q
while when the meal Is being pre-.
pared they will warm sufficiently for
the purpose.

CLEANING Gilt Frames.

Water should never be put on gilt
frames. They should be wiped with
dry cloth or chamols. This applies to
all metals and lacquered goods. After
lacquered bed has once been wet and
polished 1t must be continually pol
ished, so the best plan is to keep II
dry as long as possible. Reaches are
deadly enemies Of mirror backs, and
yearly ruin many thousands. For this
reason the old silver-back mirror is
passing away, and the new ones are
coated with composition that is proof
against insects, but that does not give
as fine reflection as the other sort.

In THE HOUSEHOLD
TOPICS OF GENERAL AND TIMELY
INTEREST.
Appropriate Decorations for Crystal

Ounce Preserves For Winter.

At a recent crystal wedding, glass
Of all kinds was used in decorating
the dining room. Many mirrors re-
placed the pictures on the walls, and
these were festooned with smilax.
Cut-glass vases and bowls we're placed
about the room, filled with white
chrysanthemums. The candlesticks
on the mantel we're Of glass, and con-
tanned white candles In the center Of
the table was large cut-glass bowl
filed with white chrysanthemums,
resting on a circular mirror wreathed
in ferns. Glass candlesticks were
placed at each corner. All the dishes,
as far as possible, were Of cut-glass,
which gave brilliant effect. The
souvenirs were glass slippers filled
with small after-dinner minis.
The following simple supper was
served:
OySlcT NOChldn,
Cream Of Tomato Son., Bread Sticks,
Fried Chicken, Currant Jelly,
French Peas, Potato Balls,
Brown Bread,
Salted Nuts,
Apple and Nut Salad.
Orange Sorbet. Fancy Cakes,
Candied Ginger.
Coffee.
For vegetable jelly salad, use one
half box of gelatine, three-fourths Of
a cup Of cold water, one pint of boil
ing water, one-half cup of sugar, one
half cup of lemon juice, three toma-
toes, two punches Of water cress, may
onnaise dressing. Soak the gelatine
in cold water. Cut the lemon rind
thin, and cook 1t In the water five
minutes, then add the soaked gelatine,
sugar, and lemon juice. Strain it into
a pitcher. Wet the mold in cold
water, and pack it In Ice. Put in a
layer of jelly, when hard, a layer Of
tomatoes sliced, and little water
cress. Repeat this process till the
mould is full. Garnish with crosses,
and serve with mayonnaise dressing.
Most unattractive Of fruit trees as
to foliage and requiring little or no
attention to insure good bearing, the
ounce, according to Vogue, is one Of
the most economical and delicious Of
the autumn fruits for winter storage.
AS its full maturity comes late, it is
advisable to pluck the ounces when
they have reached a good size, but
have not yet assumed the golden
color, and accelerate the ripening pro-
cess on closet shelf. In this way,
only a few need be preserved at a
time, or as soon as they are mellow
enough to pare easily. The loss from
rotting will not be worth mentioning.
Every part of the ounce is availa-
Bile in preserving; the Fights when
pared being used for marmalade, pre-
serves and conserves, and the parings
and cores being retained for jelly;
although some experienced cooks will
advise that the cores be discarded
altogether, these being so gelatinous
that they make sticky jelly, lacking
in solidity and sparkle. Others, again,
insist that the cores add consistency
and flavor.
The thrifty housekeeper always ar.
ranges to make her ounce preserves,
jelly and marmalade at the same time.

piques the popular interest more
than Idaho. The public is dimly
conscious Of wonderful attractions
in that part OF the west, but the To-
cality is not SO we'll known by con-
tact as most other states, especially
Colorado, Utah and California,
three states in which the conven-
tion has assembled five times.
People want to see Idaho; they will
avail themselves of a most unusual
opportunity to see it to the best
advantage in September, when its
hospitality will be as deep as its
canyons, as lofty as its mountains,
and as wide as its plains.
"All things considered, Idaho has
more to show the visitors ia the
way of irrigation achievement than
any other state 1t is fine ex-
ample Of what can be done by aver
age men, with average capital, I'M
der average conditions of soil and
climate. Those who think little
irrigated farms cannot be made to
pay away out in the sagebrush viii
derness will change their minds
after they have inspected the val
leys Of the Boise, the Payette and
the Weiser. Those who imagine
that the city bred man cannot score
a success as an irrigator and farmer
will be enlightened by studying the
story Of Idaho's New Plymouth on
the ground. And those who are la
boring under the deIusion that pro-
fitable fruit-growing is limited to
the semi-tropical climate Of Cali
fornia will be amazed when they
go among the orchards and study
the balance-sheets in many locali-
ties"

The Irrigation Congress.

William E. Smythe, the gifted
writer, and "the father Of the irri-
CATION congress-" as he is frequent
ly called, says that the approach
ing session to be held in Boise,
promises to be the biggest event in
the remarkable series of these con-
ventions.
Idaho" he says, enjoys cen
trail location in the arid region, and
this factor always counts heavily
in favor of large attendance. The
meetings at Salt Lake in 1891, and
at Ogden in 1903, drew larger and
more representative crowds of dele
gates than any similar occasions in
the history of the irrigation move
ment. This influence will produce
similar result this year.

Your love cannot be;
The pumpkin is your lawful BRIDE
You canteloupe with me-"
But onward still the tuber came,
And lay down at her feet;
"You cauliflower by any name
Aud it will smell as wheat;
And l, too, am an early rose;
So don't turnip your lovely nose,
But spnachat with me.'
Il do not carrot all to wed,
So go, sir, if you phase"
The modest onion meekly said.
"And lettuce, pray, have peas.
Go, think that you have never seen
Myself, or smelled my sigh;
Too long maiden have been
For favors IN your rye"
An, spare cuss," the tuber prayed;
my cherryshed bride you'll be;
You are the only weeping maid
That's currant now with me-"
And as the wiley tuber spoke
He caught her by surprise,
And, giving her an artichoke,
Devoured her with his eyes.

What French Has Done.

Here is a record of things done
by Congressman Burton L.
French during his two terms in
congress:
100000 for a Federal build
ing at Moscow.
Bill opening the Occur d'Alene
reservation. This measure was
supported by the whole Idaho
delegation. 1t opens to settle
ment nearly one-half million
acres Of good land which will be
ready for the homesteader in the
near future. After the Indian
allotments are made there will
be about 100000 acres to be
taken under the homestead law.
He had struck from the bill
opening agricultural lands in
forest reserves to settlement, a
section providing that the Secre-
tary of Agriculture could with
draw all mineral lands from for
est reserves. This section might
have been a severe blow to Idaho
and MIR. French has received
much praise for his prompt ac-
ton. That the Idaho congress-
man was right was admitted
when the section referred to was
eliminated from the bill.
He opposed including within
the forest reserves any lands
available for homes, and made a
speech in behalf ofhis contention.
He passed through the House
the Heyburn-French Townsite
bill which provides for the turn
ing of all moneys from the sale
of government town lots in irri-
cation tracts into the reclama-
ton fund; also for the renting o.
surplus power and turning OF the
money into the same fund. Ac
cording to the estimates OF the
Reclamation Department this
will mean that from ten to fifteer
millions of dollars will, in the
near future, be turned into thu
reclamation fund.
He supported therailroad rat'
bill and made a speech on thu
same.
He opposed Joint statehoodfo

Arizona and New Mexico, and
made speech in opposition. He
based his opposition upon the
following facts: The Atlantic sea-
board has today thirty senators
from states touching the ocean.
This is one-third of the senate.
The Pacific seaboard has six
senators. Congressman French
favored greater representation
from the West.
He opposed admitting sugar
from the Philippine Islands into
the United States free of duty on
the ground that it would be con-
trolled by the trust and would
benefit neither the American con-
sumner nor the Philippine pro-
Queer. sit would" argued Mr..
French "be used as a club to
drive the beet sugar industry out
OF existencein the United States.
He showed that it would injure
Idaho because in this state there
are today three factories paying
annually 81, 100000 to farmers
and laborers.
He urged congress to assist the
Philippines in bnilding up in
dustries that would not hurt
American industry. He wanted
to encourage the raising ofhemp,
a natural plant, and with it pro-
duced so cheaply in the islands,
would aid the American farmer
by giving him cheaper grain bags.
If this were done, Mr.. French
showed that it would result in
reducing the price of sacks one
half and would amount to a saw
ing OF 1000, 900 to the Inland
empire alone. He favored the
encouragement of similar COM
modities we cannot produce and
made a speech settingforth these
facts.
He aided in drafting and pass
ing a naturalization bill that will
do away with the great amount
of corrupt practices in the large
cities.
He opposed the modification
of the Chinese exclusion laws. SC
as to make them more liberal.
He opposed this immigration on
the ground that it was detri-
mental to the white race, and
particularly to American labor
He held that it would tend to re
duce wages and degrade labor
With the Oriental's bad ideals he
wasnot in sympathy; with Ameri
