this case another cord runs through

suooestions for Jelly Making.

The jelly-making season Is upon US.
There will be, as of yore, the disap-
pointed housewife whose jelly is
tough and leathery and that which
will not jell" For the aid Of those
who are inexperienced a few hints
may be helpful. To obtain the clear.
quivering, toothsome product is not
so dificult as it would seem, regard
less of the fact that really excellent
glass of jelly is not common, even at
our food exhibits.
IL you have had trouble In getting
your jelly to thicken, try making 1t
in small quantities. II you take four
cupfuls of juice to four cupfuls OF
sugar you will be more apt to succeed
than If a larger quantity is used in
making currant jelly.
If the currants are wet they will
need longer cooking than II dry, as
they should be. After heavy rain
fruit that is water-soaked will not
thicken. Over-ripe fruit will never
make as good jelly as that which is
somewhat green.
The thickening principle In frult
called "pectin" is present in larger
quantities in unripe fruit, as the ripen-
ing by sun and heat changes 1t to
sugar. In making currant or grape
jelly see that there are good number
of green ones on the punches.
Cook the fruit until soft but not
mushy, as 1t will not be clear if
cooked too long, then drain in jelly
bag. Take plenty Of time for this
process. A good way to do is to let
the fruit drip over night and make
the jelly in the morning.
Jelly that is sour to be used for ac-
compartment to meats need not have
equal bulk of sugar as it will thicken
with very much less.
A great advantage of the small
quantity plan is that If a failure Is
made the devastation Is not quite
complete.
The hot sugar should be stirred in
as soon as the juice is hot. Heating
the sugar hastens the process. Stir
until dissolved. then boil two minutes
and try little in cold saucer. AS
soon p 1t shows the slightest thick
ening pour it into the glasses and let
stand a day or two in the sun to fin
isn. Too long cooking will make the
Jelly livery" or change it into a
sirup that will never thicken.

The Care of the Refrigerator.

Nothing can be more dangerous to
the health of a household than re-
frigerator carelessly kept.
One of the first essentials is to see
that the drain pipe is not connected
with the house drain, because of the
possibility that sewer gas might come
up the waste pipe into the refrigera-
tor At any event 1t is not desirable
to have the food supply connected
with the house drain.
The refrigerator should be well
cleansed once a week and oftener in
hot weather. Strong ammonia water
is good to use for the cleaning, then
rinse and wipe dry. One of the prop
critics of good refrigerator is perfect
dryness. Any food with strong odor
should be kept from the company of
milk and butter. A few bananas Will
ruin the flavor of a jar of butter in
a few hours.
Charcoal or a piece Of dry lime If
kept in the food compartment will
absorb odors and impurities. Keep
milk and butter closely covered so
that the flavor may not be lost or
changed.

ship as the Mauretania uses in each
trip across the Atlantic over 1000

los,d as % tons, this is about 2S0 cars,
or a train two miles long. 1t is said
that for every 1000 persons carried
across the Atlantic 10000 men are
engaged in mining and handling the
necessary coal, and that their labor
supplies the means of living for an ad-

away in the hold this vast quantity Of
coal occupies an almost neglible part
of the total capacity of the ship.

What a Queer Mummy Lid

GOOD deal has been written
n lately about the malignant
"A mummy at the British museum
or, rather, the lid of the colin
that contained the mummy; for, OF
course, there Is no mummy in this
particular case. 1t is merely a lid
that is reported to have brought so
many personal disasters in its train.
A well-known physician, who is in.
aerested in Egyptology, was asked
his opinion concerning the strange
case of the mummy of the priestess
that has aroused so much curious in
terest
~ think" he said, that the mummy
having been torn to pieces, the spirit
Df the priestess strives to remain in
contact with the only material thing
that is left In touch with her, namely,
khe lid Of the coffin. This is the
opinion of most occultists. The spirit
Of the priestess has attached itself to
the case, which is sort of physical
basis"
"But why so malignant" this au-
thority was asked, "as to bring about,
according to reports, all sorts of dis
asters and accidents to persons at the
present day."
If" he explained, "it is true that
the mummy was torn to pieces 1t was
fearful desecration, and quite
enough to make the priestess furious.
Some persons who try to get into
communication with her by occult
means say, also, she was very badly
treated and put to death cruelty. OF
this, however, | have no proof
ut has been said that the curse of
Egypt never leaves a man after he has
taken part in the violation of the
chambers of the dead 1t follows him
10 the sacred spaces and comes forth
upon him in the occult world.
II recall the case of a real mummy
which was brought to England, in
which papyrus was found, the sub
stance of which was that the person
who desecrated the mummy would be
torn to pieces by ferocious animal
in foreign land and would be de-
prived of burial Some time afterward

In October, 1896, the old st. Croix
