CANNING PEACHES AND TOMATOES

1 notice requests for recipes for can
ming peaches and tomatoes in glass.
AS have had splendid success in using
glass cans for several years I will glad
ly send my way of canning.
Peaches-Prepare the peaches in the
usual way, discarding any overripe
fruit. Make a strip of a scant cup Of
sugar to the quart of fruit. let boil
for a few minutes, then drop the fruit
in, cooking not over enough for two
quarts at a time. Cook until fruit is
easily pierced with a straw. Fill cans,
cover with the strip, place a piece OF
old muslin on top and screw on the lid.
Turn the can upside down after press
ing down the rim, and leave till it is
cold If the strip does not run out
cool place, as the light and too much
heat will turn the fruit soft.
TOmatOes-For tomatoes, scald. peel
and cut away all green parts and all
hard cores. Cook till perfectly done
(adding little salt while cooking)
Don't try to can large tomatoes whole
for you can't be sure they are done
and if not, they will not keep. Place
| in cans, cover completely with the
Juice. Be sure all air is out of can and
the can full of juice Place lid on, us
Press down rim and invert can and
let remain until cold. II the least bit
runs out 1t will not keep. 1 have can
ned this way for several years and
know both recipes are good.

George Eliot. savonnrola.

Savonarola IS one of the most strih,
Ing characters In George Eliot's great
historical novel "Romola," the scene OF
which is in Florence and the period
that Of Savonarola's career. The idea
of writing the book occurred to the
novelist while on visit to Florence,
and on a second visit TO the city. IN
1861, she began to carry out her prof.
ect. The subject and design were for
eign to the authors genius. but she
spared no pains in making a thorough
study of the locality. the people and
the literature of the Italian renaiS-
sance for the purposes of her story.
In her own words, the work "plowed
into her" more than any OF her books.
She began 1t, she says. as a young wo-
man and finished 1t as an old woman.
Her picture of Florence and Savona-
rola is incidentally impressive, and
some critics declare "Romola" TO he

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

To prevent buttons from tearing out,
sew a small one to the back of a large
one. Place a pin between while sew
ing. This causes the threat to be
loose, and thus makes it button easier.
This plan the tailor adopts in all heavy
garments.
When covered buttons are to be used
as a decorative feature. disks cut from
cardboard Will answer for button molds.
For very large buttons two thickness
es of cardboard would be needed.
When Making a plated skirt, lay
your pattern on the goods, mark all
perforations with chalk; lift the pat
tern off the goods; the large perfora-
tions mark with white thread the
small ones with colored threat Then
you will know exactly how the pat
tern goes together. as the directions
are given on all patterns how the per-
foTations should meet.
