Red Currant Jelly.

Gather the fruit on n sunny day
1t is not necessary to strip it from
the stems on which the clusters
grow. In fact, the succulent stems
contain an acid of their own that
adds to the flavor of the Jelly. Wash
the fruit well, draining it in a col

or agatc-irOn jar. Put on n close
cover and set the jar in pot of
cold water The water should come
more than two-thirds of the way to
the top of the crock. Set the pot on

your other duties for an hour or
more. Then look into the jar, and
crush down the heating berries with
wooden paddle. Move the kettle

Senator Lodge of Massachusetts
has caught glimpse of hight. He
wants hides placed on the tree
list. That is all right according
to our way of thinking but Mr.,
Lodge is altogether too nconsis-
tent He wants the shoes manu-
featured out Of the free hides pro-
tected, and a protective duty on
everything else that will enable
Eastern manufacturers to levy trl.
butte on the balance of the country.
The policy of protection is the
most selfish and unjust doctrine
ever foisted upon a people.

The Democratic party, by it
traditions and platforms, has stood
for equal and exact justice to all,
special privileges to none" and
for a tariff for revenue only. But
of what avail are traditions, plat
forms and principles, when men
elected to represent the people be.
cause they are supposed to stand
for these things violate them with
impunity, That is what quite n
number of congressman and SEN
ators elected rs Democrats have
done; they have been found giving
comfort and aid to the tariff robber
barons by reaching out after n
small portion of the swag for a
small proportion of their local
constituents. To get this they
have voted with the special inter
ests and helped them to get all
they covet. They discredit the
sincerity of the Democratic party s
pretenslons, and the only way the
party can restore confidence in it
self is to retire every Senator and
Congressman who has thus dis.
credited the party. Will it be donei

seven graduates, and the subject

blue, constant truth; indigo, true
nobility; violet, sweet content |
have always known of the poetic
tendency in the work done in the

Stamp collectors are very enthusi.
astic over the present series of
stamps. There has never been such
a riot Of coloring as in the present
series, from the green Of the one
cent stamp, which belongs to Frank
lin, while all the rest of the series,
from the two-ccnt up To the dollar
stamp, have new portrait of Wash
iugton in carmine, purple, brown,
blue, orange, olive green. yellow,
sea-grrcn, ultra marine, lavender
and brown-black, and the special
delivery stamp is dark green. There
is half wreath of olive leaves on
each side of Washington. The Lin
coin stamp, which was issued in
February, is in the same style, and
is already worth two cents more
than its face value, and as the num-
Der issued was limited they are GER
tain to he very valuable to stamp
collectors in the future.
