AN OLD RECIPE.
How the House,<eepers of 1884 Made
Currant Jelly.

How the HouseI<eepers of 1884 Made
currant Jelly.
Young housewives, listen and receive
What goodly hints the muse will give;
1t matters not which It's. to tell We
suppose It Is her who best loves Jelly
OF currants red, the better sort,
Well picked four pounds, of white a
quart;
A quart Of ale. moreover, madarns.
The better sort, we think, IS Adams;
Four pounds of sugar, good as any.
Il. e. of sugar seven-penny;
Then mix, and boil in pan OF copper
TIL currants shrunk proclaim II proper
To have recourse to famous sieve;
OF fam'd Hippocrates the sleeve;
That done-let pan refulgent shine,
The boiling juice from scum refine.
And when tho weaker parts are flown,
When none remain but what t may
own
in words more plain-when 1elly's done /:
With curious finger. light as vapour.
Sweep DER its surface writing paper:
BE pots well dried In order neat,
Fit TO receive the glist'ning sweet:
And to preserve it-this the way,
Wet paper dry'd on surface lay.
On that extend another cover
OF what you please. ty'd tightly. over
And ont let this Inscription tell ye.
The very best red currant jelly.

The Limit of Life

The most eminent medical scien-
lists are unanimous in the conclusion
that the generally accepted Limitation
OF human life is many years below
the attainment possible with the adj
vanced knowledge Of which the race
is now possessed. The critical per-
iod, that determines its duration,
seems to be between SO and go; the
proper care OF the body during this
decade cannot be too strongly urged;
carelessness then being fatal to
longevity. Natures best helper af-
ter so is Electric Bitters, the scien-
tific tonic medicine that revitalizes
every organ of the body. Guaran-
teed by Frank G. Bland, druggist.

NEEDLEWoRK NOTES.

The girl who can sketch in colors can
make an attractive screen by covering
the frame with green denim and sug-
costing an impressionist landscape, let
ting the denim itself constitute the nee
essary green tones.
The best method OF putting on fas-
teners is to sew them strongly to a
stout piece of silk tape, hemmlng these
strips OF tape closely TO opening after
all the pressing Is done. The fasten-
ers are apt to make shiny places when
pressing is done after they are in place.
To finish the edges of doilies or other
buttonholed edges cut the goods little
distance from the line where the but-
topholing is TO go and hem it back to
that line Then buttonhole the folded
edge. This prevents the frazzled look
ing edge so often seen after washing
and gives it padded appearance.

S9use the Lac u : Bowl Half Filled

The best method for cleaning lace at
home is with gasoline Souse the lace
up and down in bowl half filed With
gasoline to remove the FIRST aGd worst

Immediately rinse the lace in fresh gas
oline. Then, /tRfore it has time to dry,
wrap it carefully about some round OBJ.
ject Ike rolling pin or the roller used
for the kitchen towel. The longer the
roller the better. The points OF the lace
must be carefully picked and fastened
down with pins
The run OF the chiffon veil and scarf
adds another item to the summer girls
cleaning bill. For ordinary dust ana
dingihess use fulIers earth. rubbing
the powder In with the hands and pat
ting the folds OF chiffon together be-
tween the hands as a laundress does
clear starching. If the scarf or veil has
been spotted in the rain, it can be
washed in gasoline. For this use some
receptacle with tight fitting lid, such
as glass jar and tin milk shaker or
even tin pail. Have this half full of
gasoline, drop in your ven or scarf and
shake it rapidly Pour out the dirty
gasoline, rinse in fresh, and, holding
the veil or scarf lightly between your
thumbs or fingers, shake it in a breeze
until perfectly dry.
Remember that gasoline is highly in
fammable, SO do the work in daylight
for fear OF accident.
White chiffon wells, II of good quail.
ty and the mesh Is uninjured, can be
made to do duty again and again II
they are dyed. The process is very sim
pie. Directions are printed on the little
packages for home dyeing to be found
in any chemists shop. The dyes are
prepared for silks and woolens, and
the directions differ slightly. That
meant for silk would be better for
chiffon. Good quality white chiffon
takes exquisite shades Of blue, pink or
lavender. A good black is more diff
cult to obtain for any material, and the
novice should keep to light colors. Lace
also may be satisfactorily dyed Mt
home. Tea or coffee will give many
beautiful shades from ecru to brown,

sion and the number OF times, the lace

The Man With Grit.

1t is pitiable to see young man W; th
robust health and good education wav-
ering when an obstacle contronts him,
doutbting whether he will 60 on OF
turn back. You may gain a certain
amount of success without education
without culture and brilllency, but
you cannot do much without stamina,
staying power and clear grit. Grit has
always been more than a match for: any
handicap. The great achievers have
ever substituted grit tor good oppor-
tunity or lack OF early advantages.
More young men have achieved sue
cess In lite with grit as capital than
with money capital to start with. The
whole history OF achievement show g
that grit has overcome the direct pow
erty 1t has been more than a match
for lifelong invalidism.- Mag

Scarcity of Hickory.

Hickory, one of If not the most
valuable of our native woods, has be-
come 80 scarce that many substitutes
have of necessity been found for 1t.
The wonderful Increase in the de-
mand for buggies and carriages Of
the finer class had much to do with
The virtual exhaustion of the great
American hickory forests. England,
Germany, China. Australia, South
Africa and the South American coun-
tries made strong acquisitions on the
American supply.
Years ago the supply Of this fine
wood north Of the Ohio River had
been exhausted. Dosp.,e substitutes
and changed conditions, hickory re-
mains one Of the most valuable Of
American woods.

Use for Spiders Silk.

Several small articles of wearing ap.
parel have been made of silk woven
from spiders wsbb, and they were
found to be more durable, lighter in
weight, and more pleasing to tbs touch
than articles made of the ordinary kind
of silk. Spiders sllk is not likely to
become popular, however, because spi-
ders cannot be cultivated proftab.Y
owing to their enormous appetites.
The spider ought not to be regar led
as an enemy to mankind, for it does a
great service as a destroyer OF insects.
The speed with which it can gobble up
a house Fly is amazing, 1t has been
calcu 'ated that man, eating at the
same rate as spider, would require 81
whole fat OK for breakfast, an OK and
Ave sheep for dinner, for supper two
bullocks, eight sheep and four hogs,
and, just before retiring, nearly four
barrels OF fresh fish," 1t is however, a
waeteful feeder, and often only sucks
he juices OF Its victim, discarding the
I. re solid parts.
