MAKING USE OF GoosEBERRY.
Jelly One Of the Best Condiments
That Can Be Served With Fish
or Cold Meats.

1t would be pity to let the goose
berry season pass without making
some goosberry jelly to serve with fish
and cold meats. 1t is made by adding
to every cupful Of goosberry pulp two
cupfuls of sugar and letting the whole
boil until it is of a thick, jellylike con-
sistency. To prepare the goosberry
pulp, top and tall the fruit, then add
enough water to it to prevent burning.
Let it cook on the stove until the fruit
is soft. While cooking pound the fruit
with a potato masher, occasionally to
hasten the process. When done press
the whole through sieve fine enough
to exclude the seeds and skins. This
gooseberry pulp may be spiced If de.
sired, but it is delicious without the
spices, and is particularly good with
fried weakfish in midsummer, or, in
fact, with any fish or with cold meats.

ABOUT THE HOSIERY
WHAT TO DO WHEN IT SHOWS
SIGNS OF WEAR.
When Holes Appear, Get Out the
Darning Cotton and Proceed to
Fill Them Up Without
Delay.

The length of time hosiery will wear
depends largely upon the care given
1t. Buy good grade to start with,
and when small hole appears, darn
1t Immediately. When a large one ap-
pears in the foot cut away all the thin
part adjoining, leaving round or
oval shaped hole with good firm
edge. Take the darning cotton and
steel scrochet hook and proceed to fill
in the hole, working all around the
edge with single crochet stitch; then
and round. narrowing fast
enough to keep the work fiat and
finishing firmly at the center. This
is done more rapidly than darning, Is
very neat and as strong as before the
hole appeared.
And then the children's knees. &c

ened, and it is good idea to place a
thin piece of an old stocking under

this will not do any longer cut off the
stocking, straight across, in the strong
part, Just below the worn out knee.
Then join the two parts again on the
sewing machine with thread to match.
but turning the top portion of the
stocking upside down, thus bringing
the worn part away up out of sight;
or perhaps it can be cut off entirely lit

or unworn part down over the knee.
The seam inside can be opened and
felled down IL desired. A little prac-
tise will determine just how much or
how little to stretch the seam under
the machine foot, so that when the
stocking is pulled it will appear smooth
and the seam hardly noticeable. AT
any rate, stockings treated in this way
wear twice as long, and a pair which
at first looks impossible to the weary
mother with half a dozen such i'm
possible pairs in the weekly mending
basket can be very quickly converted
into pair which will never look I'M
slightly except when off the foot.
Mothers do not wear through at
the knee and can be repaired by cut
ting off the worn feet and attaching
others, which can be bought at any
large dry goods store, or can be made
from the legs of another pair of hose.
The legs can be utilized in another
way: Cut each of two down a few
inches-say, eight or nine-set in
diamond shaped piece to give width
and finish with bands and side open
ings into a neat little pair of pantieS
for the wee one. These tuck into the
stockings and thus protect the deli
cate little knees from many bumps
and scratches. If made Of large (out-
side) hosiery no extra piece is set in,

Cooper Fa m lily

Cowper is an old spelling of Cooper.
Both the poet Cowper and Earl
Cowper sprang from the Sussex fam
lily, who. in 1895, wrote themselves
Cooper.
Cooper is a word derived from
coop. something to keep, or hold
things, whether wine in cask. or a
hen in her prison. A cooper. then. is
one who makes coops. Coop, in turn,
cepan or kepan.
Variations OF the surname Cooper
are Compare, LIE Coupere, Cowper and
Cuparius. The plain and unassuming
name of John Cooper is quite swell"
in experimentation in it's Italian
acknowledgements Coperario.
Who would not prefer being Copper
ario to Cooper?
The Coopers have been seated in
Great Britain almost since the begin
ming of that nation. Probably there
never was a time when you couldn't
lay hand on Cooper. They flourish
in Berkshire, Gloucester, Dorset, Wilt
shire. Surrey and Oxford. OF the land
ed gentry of Suffolk, the principal fam
lily seat is Wortington House. Of the
Oxford family, one Thomas Cooper
was colonel in Cromwells, army.
Markree Castle, ireland, is another
stronghold OF the Coopers. Apropos to
this franch OF the family, it is just re-
Gently that the society columns of
English newspapers have chronicled
the wedding of daughter of Mai.
Francis Cooper, r. 3. A., of Markree
Castle, to Mr.. Frederick Wynn of
Coed-y-Maen. Wales.
We find a pilgrim in the person of
Thomas Cooper, in Boston, 1876. He
was only about Is years old. and is
said to have come from Somerset, or
Gloucester. and to have been born
in London. Three years later he was
a passenger on board the Pink Bless
ing" to New York. Thomas was born
with rowing disposition, for in 1892
he bought property on Casco bay,
Maine, paying 9100 for mile of land.
Probably all this while Boston was
his home, for January 10, 1898, Mr.. and
Mrs. John Coleman gave the land for
the Brattle street church. of which
he was one of the principal origina-
tors This is the church called by
Mather the Manifesto church Thomas
Cooper was large land owner.
One branch of the Coopers came
from Holland, settling in New York,
and the descendants in New Jersey.
They spelled the name Kupos and
Kuyper, but soon changed to Cooper.
The author, James Fennimore Coop
er, descended from James Cooper, of
Stratford-on-Avon, who came to
America, 1879, and made home in
Pennsylvania, and afterwards in New
Jersey. The Coopers Of Pennsylvania
and Maryland number many writer's
and statesmen, and the same may be
said Of the family of Georgia.

"Smoker's Throat"

Widespread attention has been d.
rected to this complaint since it was
announced that King Edward suf-
fered from it, and that the congestion
and thickening due to it, combined
with other conditions, fastened his
death.
The assumption that this was so has
been disproved by scientists, who have
pointed out that so per cent. of adult
males suffer from smokers throat
The term involves catarrh of the
throat, Inflammation of the mouth. and

sages, which may extend into the wind
pipe and bronchial tubes.
These exceedingly Objectionable and
annoying symptoms are due to the
smoke producing local irritation of
the mucous membrane covering the

At the Parting Of the Ways
By Francis A. Corey
Copyright, 1910. by Associated Literary Press

Lying back in her big easy chair
with the red freight playing over
her jewels and laces, Mrs. Taylor Pey-
ton was a picture of luxurious ease.
Young, beautiful, fabulously rich, the
prizes of life had been showered Law
isly upon her. Lois Barton could not
understand why her proud face wore
that look of weary discomfort.
This six weeks visit with her city
cousin had given to Lois, herself, her
one taste of real luxury. It was all
very wonderful. She felt, sometimes
like person transported to land of
tenchantment. She had enjoyed every
moment. But her visit was drawing
ito close. Soon, she must return to
the drudgery of the school room.
A flush sprang to Ger cheeks,
kindled by a sudden thought. She,
too, could live in a beautiful house
with servants at her beck and call
buy her gowns at the big shops pat
onized by her cousin Virginia! Fate
had thrown golden apple in her
way. She need not go back to the
old treadmill round, the uncongenial
tasks, unless she chose to.
Outward Winthrop! Well, what
of him? It was two years since he
had left Surry without bidding her
goodby. In all probability she
would never see him again. The
surest cure for her aching heart was
to set up the image of another in the
shrine SO long kept sacred to him.
Meanwhile Virginia Peyton, on the
other side of the dancing fire. was
looking her over approvingly.
my DEAR" she said, that simple
white gown Is in excellent taste. A
country girl shouldn't make herself
too smart at city functions. 1 want
ID you to look your best tonight. Cor
ion Vance will be at the reception.
He is very fastidious. With men Of
his temperament, trif1es turn the scale.
! shall let him know that you return
aome the last of the week think he
will come to the point before the
evening is over"
ooh, l hope mott" Lois exclaimed
with a sudden revulsion of feeling.

Macaroni au Gratin.

An easy way to prepare macaron1 is
to boil half a package in sailed wa
ter until tender, drain it in colander'
and stir it into a saucepan or chatting
dish, in which two tablespoonful of
butter and b # q pound of grated
cheese have been melted, the latter be-
ing added after the first has begun to
bubble. Toss the macaroni with a
fork until heated through, season with
a dash of salt and pepper and serve.
The result is delicious, especially
when the 1nacaroni comes piping hot
from the chatting dish.

CARING FOR THE CORSET
When so1Ied They Can Be Washed
at Home instead Of Sending to
the Cleaners.

Some people, instead of washing.
their corsets when they get soiled,
always send them to the cleaners.
But with a little care corsets can be
washed at home most successfully.
First of all rip the front seam on
both sides and take out the steels.
IF these are left in iron mold stains
will certainly appear after washing.
Then dissolve some soap jelly, made
by shredding half pound of the best
yellow soap in one quart of boiling
water and simmering until dissolved
in warm water.
Two tablespoonfuls Of jelly to half
q gallon of water is usually sufficient,
but very hard water may require
more.
J Put the corsets into the suds and
allow them to soak for five minutes.
Then spread them on a board and
brush thoroughly with well-soaped
nail brush, dipping them occasion
ally into the suds to remove the loos-
ened dirt.
When quite clean rinse through two
lots of warm water and hang up to
drip dry. When almost dry iron on
the inside with a cool fiatiron and aft
er a thorough airing replace the
front steels and sew them firmly in.
II this is carefully done the cor
set will emerge from the washtub as
good as new.

Cosmos Innes, the eminent authority
on Scottish surnames, believes that
Witherspoon is a name derived from
a locality in Scotland. Variations OF
the name, found in records, are Wod-
derspoon, Wotherspoon, Weitherspoon.
and Nidderson seems to be a name
rather closely related.
If one go back to the old Gothic
word vidus. perhaps we get at the
origin Of the name. From vidus comes
the old German with, and the Anglo
Saxon wudu-all these-vidus, with,
wudu, mean a grove. with" Is the
Danish for grove. or forest, and With

name is recorded in Domesday book.
