Do Your Canning Now.

The canning season is upon us in
full force these days and it finds the
thrifty housewife busy in the kitchen
over the preserve pot from morn till
night. while the girls of the family,
and often the boys, too, are out in
the berry patch or in the orchard
gathering in the luscious fruit What
a delightful variety of rich preserves
and jellies are in store for the family
during the winter, when the woman of
the house has the foresight and the
energy to lay up as large a supply as
possible! On our western farms,
where fruits are so cheap and so cas-
lily grown, there is no excuse for not
having a plentiful supply of preserves,
iellies, sauces, etc. The work of put
ting them up will take but short
time and the housewife should arrange
her work in such way as to permit
of her giving the fullest attention pos
sible to the work while the canning
season lasts. A little planning will
soon show her how easy 1T is to ar
range so that there shall be very little
interruption to her work when she is
the busiest.
To the housewife who Thinks tnat
the canning of fruits and vegetables
for the home table entails too much
work and trouble we would suggest
figuring up how much two or three
weeks time spent at the work this
summer, resulting in putting up any
where from fifty to hundred and
fifty gallons of delicacies, would cost
in cash to purchase the same at the
country store as needed. Then con-
slider how fiat in flavor is the canned
fruit or vegetables you get at the
store-often you buy last seasons
goods under the impression you are
getting fresh goods; and the whole
sale canning usually is carried on in
such a manner as to rob the fruit of
it's best qualities and reach the table
stale and insipid in flavor. All this
you avoid by doing your own can
ming, and much money you save, too.

No Need to Drown.

If every person knew, and would
remember in time of need, that it is
impossible to sink If he keeps his arms
under water and moves his legs as IL
he were going upstairs, and that he
can keep up this motion for long
time, there would be fewer people
drowned. Unless seized with cramp,
a person should easily keep af1oat until
rescuers appear, even if he can not
swim. The people who drown soon
are those who frantically wave their
arms out of water and lose their self
possession.

If salt is sprinkled over the range

Sitting sugar over them instead of

chop much easier, and when used in

A fair substitute for maple sugar is
made with equal parts of granulated
white and dark brown sugar boiled
with one-half the quantity Of water
until of the desired thickness. When

Keep the chrysanthemums growing
strong through this month. The plants
are gross feeders and the use of
liquid fertilizer, made from stable
manure by taking the manure in water
and using it about the color of weak
tea, is very desirable.
If green worms or other insects
trouble the rose bushes powder them
with hellebore after rain or while
they are wet with dew. Spray with
tobacco tea if the green aphis appears,
and if the leaves become red or rusty
looking put little Paris green in the
water before spraying.
A suggestion has been made by
writer that those who have pears to
can this season should try including
some pine apples in the canning, in
the proportion of one pine apple to
one-half peck of pears, or more If your
taste calls for it, You will be sur
prised at the flavor the pineapple i'm
parts to the usually fat pear when
canned alone, and the expense is very
small compared to the delightful pre-
serve you get.
Fruits of various kinds are useful
articles of diet. Incidentally, also, they
are often of value. The vegetable
acids which most fruits contain are
broken up in the stomach into alkaline
carbonates, and help to counteract the
tendency to overacidity. Prunes and
figs, when eaten in sufficient quanti
ties, are we'll known to have laxative
properties. 1t is said that eating an
apple or two just before retiring also
helps to keep the bowels regular.

The reader who desires TO test the USE
fulness OF the book will naturally turn to
the chapter devoted TO Russia, and es-
p~ecially to those pages which record the
internal history OF the country during the
decade preceding the fall OF Port Arthur.
We observe with satisfaction that Justice
is done to the work accomplished for Russia
by Count Witte when he was Minister of
Finance. We are reminded, for instance.
that in 1895 me 1897 important measure,
were carried out for the regulation Of Rus
sia's finances. in order that the value OF
the paper ruble might be fixed and made
equal to that Of the silver ruble. To this
end a large part OF the paper was Withdrawn
from circulation, while the amount Of silver
currency was increased, and the Bank of
Russia was required to enlarge it's gold
reserve. By these and other measures
White, then Mini ter Of Finance, succeeded
in restoring the coin value Of the ruble.
and by the resumption of specie payments
put his country in a sounder financial con-
dition. IL was White. also, who ELECTED a
conversion OF the State loans and reduced
the interest thereon from So and 5 Ger cent
to "a and 4 per cent. v Along with the es-
Enlistment OF financial ~solvency went a
remarkable increase Of industrial and COM
mercial activity. Extensive plans were
adopted for subsidies to native manufao-
lures and for granting exemption from
taxation and other privileges 10 the mer-
chant shipping interest. Commercial treat
les were made with other nations. Stimuli
taneously Russia's railway system was
extended 10 Archangel on the Arctic Oreln
from Perm TO the Dwina, through the Caucl-
sus to the Caspian, from the Caspian 10 the
Afghan frontier, and finally across Siberia
TO the Pacific Ocean at Vladiyostok and
Port Arthur.

The panic OF 1884, though harmful enough,
was inst Rniac compared with the finan-
cial catastrophe of 1897. The immediate
causes of the CONFUSION in the last named
wear were two. First, the Specie Circular,
issued by J~ackson's order in 1885, requiring
deposit banks and receivers Of public money
to accept In payment OF public lands after
August 10, 1896, nothing but gold. silver or
Virginia llnd scrip. This circular, by
drawing real money from the East TO the
West TO pay for immense land purchases,
caused no little disturbance, and to make
matters worse a panic began In England
in March, 1887. The price OF cotton fell
from 20 TO 10 cents a pound, specie ceased
to be exported from the United Kingdom,
and arge remittances in gold were de-
manded from the United states by Great
Britain at the very time when the American
banks were preparing to pay the second
instaIment OF the purchase money for
public lands. Tho suffering produced by
the rise in the price OF money was agra
waited by the scarcity and high cost OF dour
in Eastern cities. From eastern Penn
~sylvania, from Maryland, from western
virginia. from Delaware and oven from
Tennessee reports came during the sum-
mel OF 1888 that the wheat crop had been
destroyed by the ravages Of The Hessian
fly. BY September wheat was selling in
Baltimore for s2.I5 a bushel and -four In
New York for $3.50 a barrel. II seems TO US
now scarcely credible that by October

It is well known that, although Texas de-
clared itself an independent republic in
March, 1898, it did not succeed in becoming
a part Of the Union until some nine years
later. The subject Is discussed in the six
tieth and sixty-sixth chapters Of the book
before us. A proposal for the annexation
OF Texas was made officially by Gen. Hunt,
the Texan Minister, to Forsyth. Secretary
OF State in the Van Buren, Administration,
as early as August, 1857. Texas sought
annexation, he said, because her people
were Of the same blood as the people OF the
United States, and claimed, because OF ties
OF blood, language and institutions, COM
mon origin. a common history and a COM
mon freedom. Forsyth replied that the
question Of annexation OF an independent
State had never before been presented to
u Government, Whether. the Constitli-
ton contemplated, the a~Rnexation Of suUh a
State. and II 80 In what manner, we're
questions which the President did not think
it expedient at that fine To, agitate. 80
long g. Texas was at war and the United
States at peace with Mexico the proposal
made by the Texan Minister involved a
question of war with her adversary. To
whom the Unhed States was bound by a
treaty Of amity. The obligations OF that
treaty, Forsyth said, must be scrupulously
performed. In 1887 scores OF petitions
against the annexation Of Texas were pre-
sented to the Senate and the House and In
the latter body John. Quincy Adams intro
duced a resolution which, however, was
tabled, declaring that the power Of annex
ing the people Of an independent foreign
State was not delegated by the Constitution
to Congress nor TO any department Of tho
Federal Government. but was reserved %
the people. We should add that, when the
news OF Van Buren's refusal TO consider an
nexation reached Texas, that republics
