Usino Leftover Fruit.

Whenever you have any fruit left
over from a meal, can it. Cook the
fruit until tender, with plenty Of
sugar. When tender pour into your
jar, which should be made hot by
the use of boiling water. BY placing
a tablespoon or knitting needle in the
jar you will prevent it from breaking
when pouring in the hot fruit The
jar should be filed to overfowing,
and Immediately screw on the top.
Then turn the jar upside down until
the next day. II the juice has not
leaked out the can is alright and
may be put away for winter use in a
cool. dark place. BY this process a
jar of fruit at a time may be pre-
served without much labor. Never
throw away the Juice that is left over.
If it is put in sealed glasses or jars
it is very good in mince pies or may
be used as a sauce over ice cream
or cottage pudding.

POINT roo OFTEN OVERLOOKED.
Proper Appearance OF Back 10 Of
Much Importance.

A Wonan's back expresses a great
deal more than one would fancy.
Observe woman with stopped
shoulders, an ill-ftting bodice, collar
pinned sloppi1y, a waistband escaping
from the protection Of the waist, and
what hops into your mind?
Either that the woman is SO crazed
with trouble and hard luck that she
isn't conscious of her appearance, or
that she is simply careless, sllpshod,
'no-'count'' mortal to whom energy
and ambition and neatness are unin-
te1ligible words.
Then look upon another back with
the bodice lines straight and correct,
the waist lines well placed, the collar
securely and neatly fastened down,
the skirt well fitting, and the shoul-
ders poised with frmness and grace.
What then?
You are pretty sure when you get
a front view that you will see a pretty
Or serene face. with hair daintily
dressed and neatly placed.
Sometimes, of course, you are dis
appointed.
A few women go in for beautiful
backs and don't get any farther, but
that is neither here nor there nor
some place else.
Details make dress just as the most
trivial incidents contribute to the af.

Saving Hints.

When making a coat and skirt or a
whole dress, the bodice should not be
cut out first. The skirt takes the
long lengths, and there is usually
more or less eft from the widths to
help in cutting out the front of the
bodice, and even sometimes the whole
may be secured out of the waste
widths.
In making fri1ls OF soft material,
such as muslin, lawn or chiffon, a sec.
ond gathering thread should be run
in just below the first. This makes
the frill set more evenly and obviates
the necessity for stroking with the
needle, which is not to be recommend
ed, except In the case of calico, main
sock and fabrics of like nature.

GIANT RADIsHEs OF THE EAST
There the Vegetable Grows to an
Enormous Size.

Radishes In North China and In
Japan are as important and ubiqul-
tous a part of every meal as is bread
in America. In both countries many
millions OF. bushels of this vegetable
are grown every year, and they are
to be had at all seasons. It is thus
easy to understand why these parts
CT the world grow the strangest and
biggest radishes known.
The giants beside the little French
Breakfast, our fayorite American va
riety, are but babies beside the mon
sters they grow under the warm,
moist influences of the oriental eli
mate.
These radishes are grown on Amer
lean soil from seeds imported by tho
United States department of agricul-
ture from China They take well to
the American climate. and probably
would have weighed five pounds when
full grown.
When these fellows are grown IN
China they rapidly form a great bril-
liant red globe eight to ten inches in
diameter and weighing sometimes 20
pounds. Another kind Is snow white
and grows a foot long, and still an
other is brilliant green on the out
side and Q beautiful wine red when
the skin is cut Some of these
strange vegetables are exceedingly
delicate In flavor and texture when
grown under favorable conditions.

TO LEAD THE TIES

Tribes of Israel, and anybody who
wanted to stand any show of being
numbered among the $4,000 elect
spoken of in Revelations. who are not
to see death, would have to tie up to
James Jershom Jezreel.
A lot of people did it. and Jezreel
made the prophet business pay hand
somely He bought some property at
Chatham on the summit of high hill
and started in to build there a rival to
the Tower of Babylon. When COM
pleted, it was to house the $4,000
elect. AS designed by Jezreel, it
would never have contained more
than a fraction of that number; but.
Of course, the greater the claims he
made on the eredulity of his follow
ers the more profoundly did they be-
lieve in him. Before he finished the
sixth story he died. Inasmuch as he
had proclaimed that by means of the
Flying Rolf, he had been rendered
death-proof, his decease staggered the
faith of many of his followers in that
precious document.
Then his widow stepped into the
breach. She explained that 81. j. j."
had made little mistake. It was she,
as Queen Esther, who had received a
commission from on high to save the
remnant of mankind from destruction.
She ran the diminished band of Jez-
reelites for a time, but she did not
make any attempt to finish the tower
of Jezreel. Then she, too, gave the lie
to her own pretensions by dying.
Her father, Robert Rogers, next

Der, there was not money enough in it
to provide him with living, and he
has had to toll for his daily bread just
like ordinary morta1s.
Some years ago Michael KeyfoT
Mills came over from America, where
he had established a band of Jezreel-
| ties, and intimated that he was the
right man to boss. the job at head
quarters. But Rogers refused to alb.

compelled the Jezree1ites to part with
their tower. The new owners demol.

convert it into factory, but couldn't
make it work.
That was Prince Michael's oppor

Children who Are Never Kissed.

1t is always a surprise to people to
learn that there are millions of hui
man beings who do not know what it
is to kiss-Japanese Chinese, many
Africans, Malays, Burmese, many Es-
quimaux and the native races of North
America. One reason given flor this
absence Of kissing among the Japan
csc is that the women and girls have
always. used pigments to redden their
lips, making kissing anything but at
tractive. A mother will bid good-by
to young son who is going to Europe
for years to be educated without an
embrace OF any kind. When children
wish to greet a playmate they bend
low, with their hands resting on their
thighs and sliding down to their
knees as they utter their greetings.
If the meeting takes place indoors, the
children kneel down upon the mats
and bow until their faces touch the
floor.
Chinese children clasp their hands
in front of their breasts, then raise
them to their faces, and, inclining
their heads, inquire if the others
have eaten rice. Grown people kneel
and bump their heads in the cere-
monious "kow-tow.''
