Little black swellings were scatter

Preseryfng Hints.


The first consideration is a preserv-
ing kettle of brass polished until lus-
trous and with no stain of fruit.
This is the sort of vessel used by
the old-fashioned housewife and the
jellies OF our grandmothers have never
been equaled.
Porcelain kettles should be dis
carded as soon as they commence to
crack and tin, iron or pewter should
never be used.
The best jelly bag is long one
made Of flannel, which Is made in a
point at the bottom.
This should never be squeezed
order to hasten the dropping or
discoloration of the fruit will result.
In selecting fruit the greatest care
should be taken to see that it is not
overripe.
Berries that have been picked more
than "a hours are too old to make
good jelly and preserves.
, A cheesecloth bag will be found
useful in straining the fruit through
the colander.

Quite unpleasant contretemps can oc

Two ladies' one evening not long ago.
Inc cotillon was being danced and in
one figure the object was to jump
through a paper loop.
This well known lady succeeded in
doing, only to come violently into COLI
sion with another who was prepared to
precipitate herself through from the 9TH

this inopportune meeting between two
fair but overhasty leaders of fashion.
Apparently the bali room is becoming

The Apple Barrel.

1t stood in the cellar low and dim,
Where the cobwebs swept and sway
ed,
Holding the store from bough and
limb
At the feet Of autumn laid.
And oft, when the days were short
and drear
And the north wind shrieked and
roared,
We children sought in the corner here,
And drew on the toothsome hoard.
For thus through the long. long win
time
1t answered our every call
With wine Of the summers golden
prime
Sealed by the hand Of fall.
The best there was Of the earth and
air,
OF rain and sun and breeze,
Changed to a pippin sweet. and rare
BY the art Of the faithful trees.
A wonderful barrel was this, had we
It's message but rightly heard.
Filled with the tales of wind and bee,
OF cricket and moth and bird;
Rife with the bliss Of the fragrant
June
When skies were soft and blue;
Thronged with the dreams Of a har-
vest moon
Ger fields drenched deep with dew.
Oh, homely barrel, I'd fain essay
Your marvellous skill again;
Take me back to the past. I pray,
AS willingly now as then
Back to the tender morns and ewes,
The noontides warm and still,
The f1eecy clouds and the spangled
leaves
OF the orchard over the hill.

Reports come from Ontario that the
perennial SOW thistle has gained
firm foothold, making it the greatest
weed enemy with which the farmer
has to contend. 1t has been spread
from one farm to another by the
threshing machines, the numerous
seeds being easily carried. One meth
cd being advocated for its eradication
is to sow winter rye in September and
pasture it the following spring. This
can be followed in June by rye, tur-
nips or buckwheat. In this way crops
are secured and the sow thistle
fought at the same time.

Secret of Garibaldi's Leadership of the
March of the Thousand

Papers and documents found in an
old desk once owned by Crispi show
that If it hadn't been for an unfaithful
wife Garibaldi might never have headed
the March Of the Thousand to Sicily.
Just before he entered upon that famous
undertaking Garibaldi married the Mar
quise Raimondi. But on the eve of the
wedding he learned the true character
of his young bride. He left her at once
and sought his friends to whom he re-
lated the story of his unhappiness, de-
claring that he was going to kill him
SELF 1t appears that Medici one of the
revolutionists, persuaded him to offer
his life on the altar of patriotism, If he
was willing to quit it. Garibaldi, on re
Election, thought that the better plan and
organized the March of the Thousand
that broke the backbone of the Bourbon
in Naples and consequently in Italy.
Garibaldis marriage to the Marquise
Raimondi was dissolved in 1880, the
court holding that it was illegal.

Keep the Road Drag Going.

Bad roads are an extravaganza that
no farming community can afford
Just what they cost in unnecessary
expenses 1t takes but a moment to de-
termine
A team and driver are reasonably
worth So a day, and by the use OF
these it is possible to deliver to mar
ket from your home 100 bushels Of
corn. Hauling over good roads, the
cost of delivery is cents per bushel
But If, In consequence of bad roads,
but fifty bushels can be delivered, the
cost is doubled and the difference is
what the impossible roads cost you
Continue this calculation, applying it
to the hauling of all your crops, and
it quickly becomes apparent that it
amounts to a very burdensome tax.
Good roads help in every way; they
promote sociability by making friends
and relatives accessible, and by means
of them it is easier to reach the
schools and churches and to generally
do and enjoy the things which make
Life really worth living.
