CANNING FRUIT

OF all methods of preserving fruit the
most satisfactory for general use is
sealing it in air-tight jars, commonly
known as canning.
The first step for success in the pre-
serving of fruit is to have everything
perfectly clean; that is, to kill the
various species of bacteria that pro-
mote mold and fermentation by care
fully sterilizing the jars or cans and all
utensils used, and by keeping them as
sterile as possible during the process.
1t is a good plan, before beginning the
preserving season, to have all jars, COW
ers and rings in readiness. Rubber
rings should not be used from one sea-
son to the next, as they stretch and
often become perforated; new ones are
inexpensive, and they will repay the
small outlay in the end.
Whether new or old jars are used,
first wash them in hot soapsuds, care
fully examining the edges and covers,
scrubbing them thoroughly with a
small, stiff brush then rinse in clean
water, into which a little bicarbonate
of soda has been dissolved; this will
sweeten them by removing any taint
that may remain in them. Covers, II
used before, should be rubbed smooth
with little securing soap, then rinsed
and carefully dried. See that all COW
ers, bearings, etc, fit perfectly.
The preserving Kettle Should De por-
celain lined, so that the fruit may not
be discolered or lose its delicate flavor.
The same is true of funnel, colander
and spoon.
A small scales are most desirable, al
though measurements can, of course,
be easily substituted for weights, one
quart equaling two pounds. A wooden
masher, plenty of clean towels, cheese
cloth, jelly bag and an asbestos mat,
to prevent burning in case of long
cooking, are also necessary.
In selecting fruit for preserving 1t
must be remembered that to produce
the best results it must be perfectly
sound, not too ripe, and in every way
of excellent quality; any decayed spots,
no matter how small, will often produce
fermentation; therefore, carefully pick
over and wash all before using it. A
good way to wash small fruits is to put
them In colander and pour cold water
slowly over them, allowing them to
drain thoroughly before using.
Always use a silver knife when par
ing fruit. Peaches, pears or apples
may be kept from discoloring If
dropped as you pare them into cold
water to which a little vinegar or lem
on juice has been added. Peaches,
plums or tomatoes peel more easily If
first immersed in boiling hot water.

out, but kills any larvae which by
chance might have eluded the vigilant
eye of the housewife.
Strong alum water, used cold, will
draw the fire out of a burn. Keep
the wound damp.
Coffee stains can be removed from
table linen with a mixture of the yolk
of one egg and a little lukewarm
water. Use it as you do soap on the
stain.
have found nothing better than
lemon juice and salt to remove rust
from white goods.
Molasses will remove grass stains,
and beef tallow will remove ink spots.
Dip the ink spot in the hot tallow, let
the cloth cool and wash out.
Sal soda solution-One pound wash
ing soda, one pint of water. Pour
water over soda and put 1t on the
stove; heat until all the soda is dis
solved. put in bottles and preserve for
use. Once a day the sink should be
washed with this solution, preferably
at night, so the sal soda mixture will
fill the U-shaped trap in the waste pipe
and remain there all night. Lots of
people laugh at the typhoid fever germ
but the germ does not care.

Cherries-Wash, stem and look over

to dissolve 1t, and when boiling hot add
the fruit and cook slowly for ten min

Nobleman's Curious Will.

Not long ago an Italian nobleman left
all his money, which amounted to about
$4,000. to his wife ito be disposed of
according to her own ideas" providing she
entered a religious order and spent the
rest Of her life praying for the repose Of
his soul. If she refused the conditions
the money went to the order direct and
she got nothing.
The poor woman is now fighting the will
in court. There is said to be some pros
pect that the estate will be divided and
one-half, or at least life interest IN
the income. given to her. This. however,
can be done only by compromise.
The reason for this strange condition Is
said to have been revenge The wife had
a lover and the husband did not dis
cover the fact until. during his last sick
ness when she neglected previous pre-
cautions, he learned OF her firtations.
The husband was also afraid that she
would marry her lover and is said to
have told his lawyer that he would fix
things SO that the scoundrel could not
have the benefit Of his money even If he
did enjoy the affections OF his wife.
Another curious will reported in the
newspapers the other day was that of a
Neapolitan merchant. who bequeathed
his fortune to his niece Antoine. upon the
condition that she married a man by
the name Of Anton. who had a fortune
equal or greater than the 100000 francs
which he left the young lady.
1t was also provided In the will that
his descendants should be named Anton,
IL a boy. Antoine, If a girl, and no
heir in any generation can inherit the
property unless he OF She bear those
names. This condition cannot be full
filled by a legal change Of name. Who
ever inherits the property must have that
label attached at the baptismal font in
infancy.

Architecture of Florence.

The architecture Of Florence Is sup
posed to furnish the best examples in ex-
istence of all the different schools Of that
art. The greatest architects that ever
lived have left the imprint Of their genius
upon the crooked streets Of this old city.
1t is unfortunate that the buildings can
not be seen to better advantage.
1t is difhcult to explain, when the world
is so wide and there is so much vacant
area in the valley OF the Arno. why men
who had the money and the taste to erect
placed them where they cannot be seen.
Only a few of the finest structures, such
as the Pitt Palace. the Palace Vecchio
and that Incompatible group OF archi-
try and the Campanile. or cathedral
tower, can be seen to advantage because
of the open spaces around them.
The FlOrentines preserve their sacred
places. both because they regard them as
ideals and because they are source or
great pecuniary profit. The largest item
Of revenue for the city comes from tour
lists, and the American citizens alone re-
siding in Florence paid taxes last year
upon $7s2 600 worth OF real estate. and
the English colony Is even more nu-
merous and wealthy.
There has been considerable complaint
because some of the historical structures
have been demolished, but such vandalism
has been trlnlng compared With what mas
occurred in Rome The Florentnes have
not torn away historical structures to
open boulevards and build hotels and
APARTMENT houses. as has been done in
the Eternal city. for. although the popu-
lation has grown considerably within the
last half century, the Industrial and COM
merciai interests have adjusted them
selves without great damage to the ar
chitectural monuments

poison that ordinary decay had been ar

The skulls OF Lorenzo and Giuliano de
Medici. his brother, were taken from the
room adjoining the chapel. The marks
upon the skull of the latter leave no
doubt that he died by violence.
Death Of Last De Medici.
The last of the male line of the de
Medicis. a childless old man Of enfeebled
mind. died few years ago upon an es-
tate about six miles from Florence, where
he had lived in seclusion. The head OF
the family at present. a descendant by
the female line, is the Marquis Peruzzi-
Medici who married a daughter Of Will
liam Waldo Story, the American artist
and author.
It is only since the death of the old re-
cluse that the marquis has added de Med
lei to his name. His paternal ancestors,
the Peruzzis. were a family almost as
famous and have nothing to be ashamed
OF. Baldassare Peruzzi, a cotempo. q. :,
and friend of Raphael Q4S1- 1880, was on
of the greatest of architects and built
some OF the finest churches and palaces in
Italy.
Some Of the later generations were
among the richest bankers in the world.
Several of the family have been promf-
nent In politics and enjoyed hign No.
ors. In modern times the Peruzzis have
played An important part in the unifica-
ton of Italy. The father of the marquis
was chamberlain at the palace:
