TABLE DELICACIES
RECIPES FOR BOTH NEW AND
OLD DISHES.
TO Prepare Unfermented Grape
Juice-canned Grape Juice With
Sugar-Raisine MarmaIade Is
an Idea from France.

Unfermented Grape Juice.-Wash
and pick over sound Concord grapes,
rejecting all that are soft. Put in a
stone jar and place this in boiler,
with cold water to nearly the depth
of the jar. With wooden spoon crush
lightly when they begin to cook, at the
same time pushing the grapes from
the top of the jar toward the bottom.
Cook about two hours or until the
grapes are all softened. Then pour
into large bag to drain. Do not press
or squeeze or the juice will be cloudy.
Have ready perfectly clean and well
sterilized bottles with the patent
china or metal tops. II you do not
have these, be sure your corks are
new. soaking them first in cold water
so they can be pressed in tightly. Re
heat the juice to the boiling point,
cook steadily half an hour, removing
the scum as 1t rises to the surface.
Turn into the hot bottles and seal
air-tight.
Canned Grape Juice With Sugar
Put the grapes. washed and sorted.
into a preserving kettle and add
llLue COlu WdteT, DuI not enough "
cover Cook slowly until the skins
break, mashing and stirring from time
to time with a wooden spoon. When
softened and at the boiling point, pour
into a new coarse jelly bag to drain.
Measure the juice and to each quart
allow a quarter-pound granulated
sugar. Boil again four minutes, turn
into hot sterilized bottles and seal
while hot.
Raisine.-To make this famous
French marmalade allow an equal
weight of grapes, cook in little water
until soft then press through a col
ander to remove the seeds. Add the
pears, cored and sliced, and simmer
until thick, stirring almost constant
ly. When thick, sweeten to taste, scald,
strain through colander and can.
Grape Relish.-Pick from the stems
seven pounds of grapes, rather under
ripe, and put the skins in preserving
kettle over the fire with just enough
water to prevent their burning. Place
the pulp in another kettle and cook .un-
til the seeds loosen. Press through a
sieve and add to the skins with a
half pint of vinegar, three pounds of
sugar and a teaspoonful each cloves,
allspice and cinnamon. Boil until
thick. This is fine to serve with game
or roast meats.

Macaroon Dessert.

A delicious sweet to offer at lunch
con is made of whipped cream and
macaroons. Use the rich cream that
is of the proper consistency to whii.
well. Sweeten and whip until stiff.
Get maccaroons that have been kept
about two days and roll them until
they are crumbled finely, but not pow
dered. Stir enough of them with the
whipped cream to give it delicate
brown color. This should be served
heaped in dainty cups, as, while it
makes most delectable compound, it
is altogether too rich to be taken in
any but the most moderate quantities.

THE WOMEN AND BASEBALL.
One of the Sex Explains Why She
Doesn't Know the Game Very Well.

Il don't see that it's much wonder if
women don't know great deal about
that game of base ball." remarked a
Cleveland woman in the role of an
abused wife the other day 'If all men
were like my husband it would be
fine chance any wife would have to
learn anything besides household
drudgery. | think it's absolutely alb
surd the way some men seem to lose
all control of their senses and all idea
of ordinary courtesy when they get
within sight of crowd of men knock
ing ball about big pasture
I've always been so bored to death
by base ball games the few times my
husband has persuaded me to go, be-
cause ! never could tell who was win
ming, that l told my husband / wouldn't
go to any more of the old games with
him. Then the other day he told me
that if I'd go he would just make it
his business for that one day to ex-
plain the game to me.
Well he started in to explain
things to me, and his mood lasted Just
until some one hit the ball. and then
he began TO shout and jump up and
down as II some one had hooked an
electric wire TO his seat. l thought
something very unusual must have
happened and tried to get him to tell
me what he was acting so foolish
about, but he just snapped out, This
is too good game. I'll tell you all
about II when we get home And that
was all | could get ont of him, durir E,
the rest of the tiresome old game.
I'll never go to one with him again.

lively safe anchorage, despite the in
different reputation granted the strait
by navigators. When the wind sets
in strong. however. it will be nee
cessasy for the ships to up anchor
and away, whether or not there is
coal on board. The main danger, and
one that is omnipresent, is the willy
waws." which for centuries have made
this vicinity dreaded by navigators.
These are a series of eccentric winds
which cause ships of the largest di-
mensions to sail sidewise, although
the torpedoboats may not be particu-
larly hampered in their movements.
Valparaiso, Chile, or Callao, Peru,
will be the next stopping places for
coal supplies, and here the price of
fuel will soar aloft if traditions are
observed. Most of the fuel on hand
at all the stations is usually reserved
for the merchantmen, the latter pay
ing a slight advance over the charges
obtaining at American or European
ports, but when a man-of-war makes
its appearance the mercenary dealers

lieving that it is a matter of CONNER

which the warship may belong.
From these ports the armada will

for more coal. Fuel at the former
port will not be SO costly, but the
expense, nevertheless, will be suffi-
ciently important to make a rare
showing in the general bill coming to
Uncle Sam.
1t is not likely that the fleet or any
component vessel will be obliged to
put into any port for repairs during
the long journey. Vulcan" or repair
ships will be on hand to supply parts
of machinery that may become dam
aged. Most of the latter will carry
large quantities of duplicate parts, so
that any of the usual and ordinary
damages incurred at sea may be readi-
ly amended.
