MAKES A SPLENDID PRESERVE
For Those Fond Of the Ounce There
Is No Better Fruit That Can
Be Put Up.

No fruit makes more delicious OF
richer preserves than ounce. Choose
fine fruit, as it will prove the most
economical in the end, even though
higher in price. Wash and dry and
pare carefully, cut into quarters and
remove the cores. Place the fruit in
the preserving kettle with just enough
water to create steam, and arrange
the parings over the top. Cover the
kettle, let heat slowly and stew very
gently until tender. Carefully remove
all the parings from the surface. then
take the fruit out with a skinner,
draining as thoroughly as possible,
and spread out on large dishes. Strain
the liquor through cheese cloth bag,
then return to the kettle, adding gran
ulated sugar, measure for measure
Stir until the sugar is dissolved only,
and let the syrup boil for ten minutes,
skimming repeatedly. Place the
ounces in the boiling syrup and SIM
mer gently until they become clear
and take rich color-probably 20
minutes. Lift the fruit out with a
perforated spoon and pack in jars.
When the syrup is partially cool fill
to the brim and seal air tight.

FOR GOOD PASTRY
SOME GENERAL DIRECTIONS OF
IMPORTANCE.
As Much Depends on the Skill Of the
Maker as On the Ingredients EN-
ployed-varying ideas About
Water.

The pastes of a good pastry maker
fade and melt away like ice under the
sun, while those of a poor manipu-
iator stick by. Some pastes are
tough and some are crispy, some are
light, and some are leathery, every
thing depending upon the skill of the
maker.
Classifications of Paste. - Pastes
are classified according to the way
In which the shortening is worked
into the flour: % Plain or chopped
paste, (2) pun paste, and 90 haky
paste. In the first kind the shorten
Ing Is worked into the -four with the
knife or with the tips of the fingers
and the water then added. In the
second the shortening used is butter
and rolled out before this is added
by an elaborate method of folding and
rolling. The flaky paste is made by
combining the two methods.
Some cooks use ice water to mix
all pastes, others use this only for
pun pastes. Some use water at about
the temperature Of the room in which
the work Is done-a room with a
cool and dry atmosphere-buts some
old-fashioned cooks who make the
most delicious pies have always used
tepid water for the mixing.
A good deal depends upon the kind
OF flour used. An article on Pastry
Flour" in Good Housekeeping says,
among other things: 1T may be
stated as general rule that the best
bread -four is that which takes a
large amount of liquid; a good pastry
flour is one that takes small amount
OF liquid. Bread flour is granular to
the touch; pastry -four is smooth and
velvety. Bread -four readily sits
through the fingers; pastry flour re,
ta1ns the impression of the hand.
Good bread flour is apt to be more
yellow than pastry -four because OF
the large amount of gluten it con.
ta1ns. When 1t is claimed that one
general -four will make both good
bread and pastry, be it pies or cake.
then it is not sufficiently good bread
flour. A really good bread flour makes
tough pies and cake. while pastry
flour makes dry, hard, stiff bread. 1t
is economy to use the two kinds
The right proportion of water to
-four is half the weight of the liquid
to that of the flour.
A little baking powder is added oft
en- to make the paste light.
When the -four and shortening are
mingled SO that the mixture looks like
meat, each little particle of fat being
coated with -four, the water is added
in the making of plain pastry.
Pastry should always be rolled in
the same direction.-from you.

Beef Hearts Make Economical Meal.
Buy large beef heart and boil it
slowly for an hour; the ears as the
waste inside part is called, may then
be removed with very little of the
good meat clinging to them. Make a
turkey dressing and fill the cavity,
drawing few threads across to pre-
vent the dressing from falling out.
Place in pan with the water in
which 1t was boiled, and bake another
hour. Basic frequently as it begins
to brown, serving hot with vegetables
and gravy.
This is an economical dish when
meat is SO high. A family of four or
five will have as wholesome a dinner
for about 20 cents as roast beef at rs
cents pound. Apple sauce and
mashed potatoes are an addition to
this meat.
Another way Of using heart is to cut
slices crosswise about an inch thick
and cook them as you would beef
steak The small end, the first fatty
slice, and the bits trimmed from the
"ears" can be used in making hash.
croquettes or soup meat.

Lost Bill Under a Plaster.

The mystery Of the disappearance of
$50 bill, which has disturbed a Mid
dletown business man and his family
for a week, and which caused consfd-
cradle unpleasantness, has been solved.
Suspicion attached to at least two
members of the mans household. A
week ago he planned business trip
to New York. That evening he laid nu-
merous bank notes on the dresser of
his bedroom. A $50 bill was on top.
Next morning he missed 1t. That night
his wife put a porous plaster on his
back. This morning he wanted to get
it off and called his wife to assist.
When she got the plaster off the miss
ing bill was found fast on the inside
