Methods Of Canning.

Young housewives usually look for.
ward to the canning season with good
deal of anxiety because they know that
canned fruit 30 often spoils and they feel
that the canning process Is largely
matter OF chance. One can be almost
sure of success, however, If the proper
care il taken in the sterilization OF jars
and cooking utensils and the selection OF
the fruit. Fruit for canning should be
of the best quality and its preparation
done deftly and quickly. verything
necessary for the work should be in
readiness before the fruit Is touched
and there should be good supply OF
granite pans, kettles, spoons and so
forth, as these are better than tin for
use with any acid food. To sterilize the
jars and their lids, put them In kettle
or pan of cold water, act them on the
stove and let the water come to the boil
and boil for a few minutes. Then set
them off of the fire and take the jars
from the hot water as they are wanted
for use. Always use new rubbers on
your fruit jars. You may possibly have
used the same rubber successfully for
two years but it does not pay to run the
risk.
Fruit always looks nicer and some
think it has finer flavor II 1t Is put IN
the jars raw and the jars set in water and
boiled, or else cooked in the oven. When
pairing fruit which discolors quickly it is
good plan to drop the pieces into ket-
tie of cold water as soon as they are
pared as it is the action Of the air that
causes them to turn dark. Fruit used
for sauce should have sugar added when
it is canned, but if you wish to use 1t for
pies it can be canned without sugar and
that added when the pies are being
made. The amount of sugar depends
upon the kind and quality of the fruit.

A SERIOUS PLAY.
The Author Was Willing, Though, to
Turn Il Into q Comedy.

The Author Was Willing, Though, to
Turn Il Into a Comedy.
The gallery god, no less than the
patron of the padded chair, aspires to
write for the stage. have a vivid
remembrance Of the first Of all the
plays submitted for production at the
New theater in New York. 1t was
from an employee In local railroad
station, probably a baggage smasher,
and shall betray no confidence in re-
cording that the authors name was
Murphy.
Though Mr.. Murphy called his work
a play, 1t was in reality only a scenario.
It was entitled "Jim's Wife" The
plot was as follows: In the first act
Jim had no wife, but he took his girl
to q dance. Acton-They danced. In
act second came the great scene"
The scene was caused by the fact that
Jim's girl danced with another man.
Jim felt impelled to kill him. but he
refrained, rejecting that such things
did not occur In the best circles and
would thus be socially unpleasing to
his lady. The curtain fell on his act
Of self sacrifice in not killing the other
dancer. In act third there was still
more action. Jim's girl rewarded him
for his delicacy by marrying him.
Final curtain.
Mr.. Murphy seemed weighed down
by fear that his play was too serious
for the New theater. In his letter he
said: If you would rather have It
comedy I will send you the Jokes. I
have few Jokes too."-John Corbin

HELPED BY HUMIDITY.
Many Materials and Products Which
Rauuire Moist Air.

Many Materials and Products Which
Require Moist Air.
There are many materials, operations
and products which require special
atmospheric conditions for advanta-
geous or profitable maintenance. Prin-
cipal among such operations is the
manufacture of textiles, perhaps the
largest single industry carried on IN
factories. In the favored climate OF
the Lancashire district Of England the
natural climate affords working con-
dItions eQualed in America only ON &C.
casional days in certain localities.
Even In England, however, there are
many days In which the atmosphere Is
too dry for the best work.
Since textile fibers are increased In
strength and elasticity by high humid
ity and moderately high temperature,
breakages are less frequent under
proper conditions, and the output is III
creased. But even before the fiber
reaches the manufacturing plant at
mospheric humidity plays an important
part. Cotton loses weight as 1t dries
out, but, more than that, the fibers
bristle and appear shorter and OF lower
grade than when slightly moistened.
Leather, feathers and many other por-
GUS substances lose a considerable per-
centage Of weight in drying out, so that
the maintenance Of average and uni
form humidity in the storage rooms
has a direct advantage to the owner
in maintaining the value of his goods
as they lie In the warehouse. Cigars
and tobacco lose flavor in dry air and
regain 1t to some extent, after loss,
by storage In proper humidified rooms.
Wooden furniture and musical instru-
,nents are sometimes cracked or the
finish injured by the dry air OF steam
heated rooms. All these and other
similar goods are advantageously
worked or stored in rooms in which the
atmospheric humidity is artifcially
controlled and kept at the most desira-

A PIGS SQUEAL.
Il Played a Momentous Part In Ameri-
can History.

Il Played q Momentous Part In AmeF'-
can History.
The war between this country and
England in 1912 was caused by one
vote, and, stranger still, the small mar
gin came from a pig getting its head
stuck in q rail fence. 1t was Rhode
Island fence at that, but built much
like Virginia worm fence.
They were having an election OF
members of the legislature in Rhode
Island. One Federalist put of going
to the election and left himself just
time enough to get there before the
polls closed. Just as he got on his
horse and started for town he heard IL
pig suueal. He looked around and
saw that the pig had its head jammed
into that old rail fence, and anybody
who knows anything about hogs
knows that the hogs would have eaten
that pig up if 1t hadn't been rescued.
The farmer stopped long enough to
liberate the pig, and when he got to
the polls they were closed. He was
too late.
The result was that a Democratic
member Of the legislature was elected
from that district by one vote, and he
would not have been elected II that
Federal had got there on time. In
the legislature q Democratic United
States senator was elected by one vote,
and that Democratic legislator who
had been elected by one vote voted
for him.
In the United States senate they
voted for the war of 1912 by one vote,
and that Rhode Island Democratic
senator who had been elected because
that pig was caught in the fence voted
for the war of 1S12.-Popular Maya,

Experience Of Nicholas u. With a Pa.
risian Street Arab.
On one of his visits to Paris Nicholas
II. was left alone for molnent in his
carriage. The car was delighted at
the feeling Of freedom and ease. Look
ing out Of the window with all the
zest Of schoollUy playing truant, he
saw before him one of those pictur-
esque street arabs who seem to sprout
between the paving stones Of Paris.
This particular specimen, seated
against the ratings, with his nose in
the air, was whistling the refrain of
the Russian national hymn. Suddenly
their eyes met. The street boy sprang
to his feet. He had never seen the cm-
peror, but he had seen his photograph.
and the likeness was striking.
Suppose 1t is Nicholas?" he said to
himself, greatly puzzled.
He resolved to make sure without
delay. Walking up to within yard
Of the carriage and bobblng his head.
he shouted in u hoarse voice to the
unknown foreigner:
Flows the empress"
Picture his satisfaction-for, in fact,
he thought that 1t was only good
joke-when the stranger replied, with
a smile:
Thank you, the empress is very
well and is delighted with her jour-
ney."
The boy lost his tongue. He stared
at the speaker in dismay and then.
raising his cap stalked away slowly.
very slowly, to mark his dignity.
Nicholas II. afterward often amused
himself by scandalizing the formal set
around him with the story of this pri-
vate interview with true Parisian.-
