THE COOKING OF FRUIT.

A paragraph which has been 60
ing the rounds extensively INFORMS
the housewife that little soda (saleT-
atus) added to stewed fruit when
it is being cooked lessons the guam
tity of sugar required to sweeten II.
While this is true, it is equally the
fact that the soda accomplishes TINS
result by destroying the acidity OF
the fruit, and in the process the NE
and flavor are, to an extent, injured.
A preserve to which soda has been
added is rather fiat and tasteless
when compared with one which is
made entirely of fruit, sweetened with
sugar.
The wise and truly economical
housewife will not destroy the flavor
of beautiful and pleasing dish OF
steWed fruit in order to effect saw
ing so very, very small.
Fruit that is over acid, such as
cranberries, red currants, gooseber-
ries. etc., will call for less sugar in
sweetening if they are prepared IN
the following manner: After washing
the fruit place it in an agate Kettle
and cover with clear, cold water
Set the kettle over the fire and bring
the contents quickly to the boiling
point: pour off the water and then
set the kettle where the fruit Will
cook slowly in the usual way, adding
only enough water to keep the fruit
from burning. Add sugar sufticient
to make the preserve palatable, and
do not add the sugar until just be-
fore the fruit is removed from the
fire, since less is required than Wnep
the sweetening is cooked with the
fruit.
The Juice or water that was poured
off the fruit, at first, can be made
very cold, sweetened with sugar, and
served as drink; it may also be
used in place of water or milk for
the foundation of a pudding sauce,
little sugar being added and the
whole thickened with cornstarch or
arrowroot. Apples or pears may be
sliced and cooked in this fruit juice
instead of using water in the usual
way. and it can also be used in
mincemeat, in fruit cakes or boiled
buildings.
Frait should never be placed on
the front of the range and stewed like
a vegetable. Its appearance is much
more attractive if. it is kept as en-
tire as possible. Apples and pears
should be cut into quarters or eighths,
and laid in the saucepan carefully,
very little water or fruit juice added
and the cover kept on the saucepan
all the time they are being cooked

keeping.

The Eternal Feminine.

The fashionable woman on Fifth
Avenue and Broadway this season IS
a sartorial paradox. You cannot tell
by looking at her whether it is sum-
mer or winter, raining or fine, morn
ing or afternoon. Her head, which you
might take to be reasonably warm
under it's natural protection of noun
famous pompadour, she covers with
a heavy fur hat cap, pound or
so of feathers and flowers and lot
of little false curls. Over all these
she sometimes ties long, thick au-
tomobile veil. What for?
Her poor little ankles, however,
are left completely out in the cold.
She wears her skirts quite as short
as she dares, her shoes as low as
her dancing pumps, and between
these two points there is stretch of
bare skin showing through very
openwork stockings.
About her neck she wraps several
yards of lined and wadded fur; but
her arms from her wrists to her
elbows are bare save from q thin
covering of suede kid gloves. From
her waist line up she is usually in
cased in the highest and warmest of
fur Jackets, while about her limbs
blows a lightweight, much-pleated
skirt, which appears to be mainly
intended to let in the breezes. She
carries a hugh 1880 muff, large
enough for Gulliver's hands, but the
soles of her shoes are of paper
weight.
The burning question is, when she
is comfortable about the feet and
skirts, how does she feel with all that
blanket on her mead and shoulders?
And when she is just warm enough
about the head and shoulders, isn't
she aching with cold art the other
extremity? Or is it, after all, only
a case of mental gymnastics?-N. Y.

WITHOUT EGGS.

Good icings may be made without
the use of eggs. Boil one cup OF
sugar with four tablespoonful OF
sweet milk until it will roll into a
soft ball when dropped in ice water.
Then beat until just thick enough to
stay on the cake.
A good quickly made icing may be
made by adding to one-fourth of cup
of maple syrup as much confeetioners
sugar as it will require to make 1t
stiff enough.
Very nice graham bread to be eat
en- warm or cold is made as follows:
Two cups of sour milk or buttermlik,
one scant cup of molasses, two anu
one-half level tea-spoonfuls OF soda:
salt. Mix quite stiff with graham
-four and steam two hours in baking
powder cans, or a long loaf.
Good layer cake may be made with
out eggs. Take one cup OF sweet
milk, two heaping tablespoonfuls OF
butter, or two-thirds as much cotto-
lene, two teaspoonfuls of good baking
powder and fiavoring. Bake in two
tins and ice, or in three tins, darKen-
ing one of them with molasses, spices
and fruit and adding little more
-four Or, instead of the shortening,
use one cup of thin sweet cream and
the rest as given Maible G. Felnt, In
The Agricultural Epitomist.

CRIED EASILY.
Nervous Woman Stopped Coffee and
Quit Other Things.

No better practical proof that COT

note how the nerves become unstrung
In women who habitually drink it.
The stomach, too, rebels at being
continually drugged with coffee and
tea-they both contain the drug
caffeine. Ask your doctor.
An Ia. woman tells the old story
thus:
81 had used coffee for six years and
was troubled with headaches, ner-
vousness and dizziness. In the morn
ing upon rising 7 used to belch up a
sour fluid regularly.
"Often I got so nervous and mis-
cradle l would cry without the least
reason, and / noticed my eyesight was
getting poor.
After using Postum while l OBJ
served the headaches left me and
soon the belching of sour fluid
stopped (water brash from dyspep-
sia). 1 feel decidedly different pow,
and l am convinced that it is because
l stopped coffee and began. to use
Postum. l can see better now, my

Weekly Review Of Trade and Latest
Market Reports.

New York;, G. Dun e Co. S
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Christmas week made a favorable
comparison with previous years as
to the volume of trade. Retailers
stocks of winter goods have been so
well distributed that there remain
less than the usual assortments for
bargain sales. Wholesale business
is good for the season and collec-
lions show further improvement.
Jobbers are delivering spring goods
in some lines, adding to the freight
congestion, which has not been re-
( lieved, except in isolated cases.
Manufacturers complain of the light
receipts of fuel and raw material,
which has reduced activity at many
plants, and there is also some inter-
ruption because of inventories and
repairs. On the whole, however,
there is less idle machinery than is
customary at this time. Lack OF
snow greatly facilitated building
operations at many cities and work
is making rapid progress, although
delayed deliveries of materials retard
operations in industry also.
High prices are maintained in all
dustry, which is only natural when
all departments are crowded with
work and contracts run so far into
the future that there is no prospect
of idle machinery for at least the
first half of next year.
Wool goods continue to develop
a little faster than worsteds, indicat-
ing that the trend has changed, or
ha larger socks of the latter were
carried over.
Prices for packer hides are firm.
ly maintained and some varieties
have risen still higher, an element
of strength being the extent to
which hides are sold ahead.
Leather is quiet. but more active
that is customary at this season.
large sales of Union backs being re-
corded at Boston.
