Melon Preserves.

In selecting rinds for melon preserves
get the very thick ones and cut them
free from all pinkish portions and re-
move the outside green rind. Cut the
pieces into small squares and weigh
them. To every pound of rinds allow
one pound of white granulated sugar.
Put the sugar into a porcelain n-llned
kettle and add as much water as will
be needed to make a good sirup to
cover the preserves. Squeeze the
Juice of one lemon into the sirup and
carefully chip off yellow portions of
the rind. being careful not to use any
OF the white. and add to it the bag Of
spices. Boil the spices in with the
rinds. Some use ginger root. though
often it destroys the honey flavor OF
the liquid, making it too strong with
ginger. 1t is best to use delicate
spices First boil the sirup until it
gets moderately thick, then skim it
free from scum and add the rinds.
They can be slowly cooked or rushed
through. though they get more like
honey if slowly cooked on the back Of
the stove. They must be preserved in
glass jars with tight lids. j.

The Use of Burnt Sugar.

A writer in '"The Practical Druggist"
gives some interesting facts about the
use of burnt sugar. Among other
things, lie says that the custom of
burning sugar in a sickroom is very
current among all classes in France,
but up to the present has been regarded
by scientists as a useless. but harmless,
practice. Now. however. NJ. Trillat. of
the Pastcur Institute. assures us that
formic aldehyde is given off by burn
ing sugar. and is one of the most an
tisepic gases known. Five grams of
sugar having been burned under Il ten
liter hell glass. the vapor was allowed
to cool. Walls containing the bacill Of
typhoid, tuberculosis, carbon, etc, We're
then introduced Within half an hour
every microbe had succumbed. Again
if sugar be burned in closed vessel
containing decaying animal matter, Mr..
Trillat afiirms that the formic aide
hyde combines with the gases given off
by the putrid animal matter and rell-
ders them inodorous.

Waterinu,

Ferns should not be placed in halls
or situations exposed to draughtS.
They require great care in watering.
People often think they have watered
their plants when the water has only
gone over the surface and around the
sides of the pots, the center of the bail
being still quite dry. This is especially
the case when the pots are filled with
roots 1t is necessary that the ball
should be thoroughly soaked. There Is
no regular rule as to the time for wa
ering. Plants in vigorous growth re-
quire more frequent watering. Evapo-
ration, also, has much to do with it.
On dry warm days. when evaporation
is great, water may be needed twi,e a
day, while if the air is cool and moist,
two or three days might intervene
without water. A healthy, vigorous
plant absorbS much water, while a deli
cate one can absorb but little. The
soil should be examined always, and if
dry, watered; if not refrain from
watering. A dry pot is tapped. gives
while one that is wet gives a dull,
heavy sound that indicates moisture.
When leaves shrivel and turn yellow.
the soil has been too dry; if they turn
yellow without shriveling, it indicates
too much water has been given. ln
either case, the roots have been abused
and lost their power of ABSORPTION.
