JellieS-

Jellies are usually made of strained
fruit juice, cooked with sugar, equal
proportions of each. Do not use too
ripe fruit-just little under-ripe is
best for jellies. If the fruit is very
juicy, no water is needed, otherwise
a little water may be added. If the
fruit is not very acid, use little less
sugar. Cook fruit soft and strain
through cheese-cloth jelly bag. Do
not squeeze, but allow to hang over
night. Boil fruit juice from five to
ten minutes, add hot sugar, which
was heated in the oven, and boil five
or ten minutes more. Too long boil
ing will result in a paste instead of
jelly. Cool and seal the same as
jams, as directed above.

Confucianism, like Buddhism, is dead
In Japan, killed by the breath OF the
new learning, and one wonders what
will be its fate during the next 30
years in China, now that it is no longer
bolstered up by the compulsory study
of the classics. There are many who
hold that the japanese have no philo-
sophical gifts, though that remains to
be seen. At any rate, there was a
time when the Confucian philosophy,
in its dryest forms, was supreme

is a baked apple. 1t is delicious at
breakfast as we'll as at supper. In
fact, apples in almost any form are
invaluable. For variety's sake try
peeling the apples before baking them.
Peel and core them, fill the hollows

A Valuable Begonia.

Begonia semperforens gigantea car
minita, though decidedly handicapped
by such a cumbersome name, is a very
desirable one, and for Towering from
early spring EDWARDS, it is very useful,
and particularly valuable for the en-
bellishment of the greenhouse and con-
servatory. 1t is by no means novelty,
having been introduced some years
ago, and, although for some time very
popular, it was gradually dropping out
of cultivation till two or three years
since, when somewhat of a revival IN
it's favor set in We are indebted for this
variety to Mr.. Lemonine, who obtained
it by inter-crossing the well-known Be-
gonia semperhorens with B. Lynchea-
ma, which, when first introduced from
Mexico, a little over twenty years ago,
was known as B. Roezh. This was a
rall-growing species that naturally
formed what is termed a leggy plant,
for, even if pinched when young,
branches were produced but sparlngly.
The clusters Of flowers were, however,
very bright, and by inter-crossing with
B. semperhorens this gigantea section
originated. 1t is Of bold, free growth,
with handsome LEAKAGE, while the flow
ers, borne in large clusters well over
topping the foliage, are of bright
carmine rose tint, and the flower stems
are also colored. If topped once or
twice this begonia forms a good,
moderately bushy specimen, but this
pinching must not be carried to ex-
cess as the broad clusters Of blossoms
are seen at their best on stout, vlgor-
Gus shoots. Given few large estab-
lished plants they will flower more or
less throughout the greater part Of the
year. They should, to maintain them
in a progressive state, receive weak

The Pansy is unquestionably the
most popular of all flowers grown
from seed. 1t Aourishes so we'll in all
localities, and gives such excellent
satisfaction with almost any treatment
and cultivation, that it is seldom grown
to perfection, and very rarely seen at
it's best. Probably not one person in
90 who grows it ever saw what is con-
sidered frst-class flower. There is
great difference between the best
strains of seed and the ordinary kinds,
such as are usually found on the mar
ket at low prices. The largest and
finest flowers cannot be grown from
poor strains and common seed; neither
can they be grown with the indiffer-

Pansy seed may be sown with good
success at any season of the year, and
also any day except Sunday, but it is
usually sown in March or April, again
in July and August. When sown in
the spring under glass the plants will
be large enough to transplant to the
Towering bed in May They will
bloom in July and are in their prime
during the fall months, and in the
spring of the second year, and on
these large and well-wintered plants
we get the great profusion of bloom,
after which the plants become ex-
hausted. When seed is sown in Au-
gust, it is very important that the
ground be kept moist and shaded; pa
per and other material is often used
for this purpose, but the best is spag-
mum or meadow moss. When seed is
sown in hot weather it often fails to
germ1nate; the temperature is usually
too high, and this shading provides
the proper temperature, which is about
IS degrees. Care must be taken to
watch the bed daily; when the seed be-
gins to sprout and the plants are COM
ing through the ground, remove the
moss gradually. Transplant the young
plants when large enough, or thin them
out where they are to remain till
spring, and then plant in the perma-
nent bed The Pansy delights in
