Canning and Pickling.

Properly canned fruit is delicious;
anything short of that is a delusion.
Once understood, canning fruit is not
difficult, but always is eXacting work,
because success depends upon doing
just the right thing at the right time.
The fruit selected must not only
be of choice variety, but large, well
grown and ripened
Strawberries are the one exception
to this rule, for the medium sized
less watery berries that ripen toward
the last of the season have a finer
flavor and color than the larger fruit.
Use granulated or loaf sugar, and
let every vessel and utensil employed
in the various operations be of gran
ite, earthen or wooden ware. To re-
tain the delicate, natural flavor and
attractive appearance Of fruit it must
be cooked in the jars.
Place the fruit in the jars as fast
as prepared, shaking gently to fill
the interstices, make a syrup with
boiling water and the quantity Of
sugar specified; fill jars to within the
rubbers; place jars in fiat bottomed
vessel, fill same two-thirds the depth
of jars with tepid water, cover and
boil steadily until the fruit seems
tender when pierced with fork. Re-
move one jar at a time, set on hot
plate, fill to overflowing with the
boiling water or syrup, wipe off top,
adjust rubber and seal.

The Lost Chord.

How great is Thy goodness which
Thou hast stored for those that rev.
srence Thee.-Psalms, xxi, 10.
This morning I CHANGED to hear
Few bars of 'The Lost Chord" The
theme is one that touches every
heart, for every heart has lost some
sweet harmony.
Autumn's more sober co1ors are
replacing the radiance of spring and
:he strength of summer. The leaves
are changing hue. The evenings,
1raw in; the breezes murmur the
irst faint whispers which tell us that
natures life is waning. But too
soon the end will come. That end we
sall death-nature' death. t
Year after year the same story is
:etold. Springtide's tender leaves OF.

vests-these spell beauty, Joy, pros
perity. Winter blasts and shrouds
and fetters spell-what? The re-
verse Of beauty and joy and prosper,
ity? No-emphatically no! ~
All is beautiful in Gods creation.
The echo of the winter blast Is the
rustling of the golden grain in the,
coming season. From under the
shroud of the snow will spring the
growths which mean mans Joy, and
the fetters of ice are but prophetic
If harvests which build prosperity.
What holds good in nature around
us holds good in our own human
lives. The springtide of life, with it's
tender leaves of hope" it's buds Of
promise, it's dreams of brightness and
beauty, it's visions of success and
prosperity, passes away. ii

Pretty Wasllrag Case.

A piece OF brown linen twelve
inches long by six wide was lined
with oiled silk and the edges bound
with red cotton braid. One end was
then turned over, silk side inward, to
the depth of four inches and stitched
firmly in place to simulate pocket.
The remaining four inches formed
the flap, which was fastened by but
ton and loop. A small square OF
Turkish toweling was overcast with
red floss, folded neatly and put into
the pocket ready for use.
Such case is of untold comfort to
the traveller and possesses the further
virtues of being easy to make and in
expensive. If preferred, art cretonne
of pretty design may be used in
stead of linen. In such case the bind
ing should harmonic with the colors
in the design.

Fruit For Breakfast.

For a breakfast, an ordinarily
healthy child should have fruits that
the in season, provided they are well
developed and ripe. A we'll cooked
cereal, such as the prepared wheats,
oatmeal, cornmeal, etc., with plenty
of milk, boiled eggs and boiled or
baked potato, with all the hard bread
or toast and milk they want. This
first meal of the day should be given
a little one as soon as possible after
it has awakened, been bathed and
dressed. For if left long without
something 70 eat, small boy or girl
usually becomes cross from the
pangs of hunger and occasionally the
need of food gets so strong that it
produces a headache or nausea. ]
believe in giving children plenty to
eat and for this reason I should Offer
a small child a bowl of milk and
bread or sweetened crackers at about
half-past ten or eleven o'clock each
morning. For the wait between
breakfast and the ordinary lunch
hour is too long TO go without nour.
ishment when the youngsters romp
and play hard all the time. For par
ents should remember that they eat
less and get hungry quicker, be.
cause the capacity of their stomachs
IS so much smaller. If at all conven.
lent, I should make every effort tc
have the midday meal the principa!
one for a small child, for then it has
plenty of time to digest heavy foods
before going to sleep. And if meats
ETC., are taken at night they are less
apt to be well digested by bedtime,
