IN PUTTING UP PRESERVES
Matter of Importance Is the Selection
OF the Right Kind of Fruit to
Be Handled.

Fruit for preserving in any form
should be fresh picked, or gathered,
and slightly under-ripe. Such fruit
ensures more perfect shape in the fin
ished product and eliminates the pos
sibility of fermented fruit or the loss
of pectin or jelly-making property.
Handle soft fruit peaches. berries,
etc. as little as possible. If 1t is to
be canned in jars. put it into the jars,
at once, on hulling or otherwise pre-
pairing it.
If berries must be washed, put
them, few at a time, into colander,
pour cold water over them and turn
at once upon a large sieve to drain,
then hull.
Large hard fruit, as apples, pears,
and ounces, should be washed and
wiped dry before pairing.
Cut apples and other hard fruit, for
jelly, into quarters, removing all
wormy places or imperfections. Re-
tain the skin and cores. The cores Of
ounces should be discarded, as the
excess of gummy properties does not
improve jelly.
Use a silver-plated knife to pare
fruit. Peaches. soft pears, plums and
tomatoes, set into wire basket (fry-
ing basket) may be plunged into a
saucepan of boiling water; after three
or four minutes remove to kettle or
cold water for the same time, when
the fruit may be quickly and easily
peeled. This method of peeling is ad-
MISSILE when a large quantity or
fruit is to be put up, but 1t is thought
to detract somewhat from the flavor.

Today is the time to be happy. We
can strive to make better our sur
roundings and we can find happiness
every step of the way. In each pass
ing day there are crumbs of JOY for
most of us; it is indeed, dark day that
has no grain of joy, no opportunity for
doing good, no sweet moments of as
ISOLATION with our family and friends.
We have all heard of the child who
announced one morning he wanted a
banana, he positively refused to be
comforted; he wanted banana and
could not be happy without it, The
family lived on farm and it seemed
impossible at that time to get the
fruit Each member of the family
offered something else and tried to
change the subject, but to no avail,
the child continued to cry for banana
Grandmother, grandfather, the mother
and aunt did their utmost, separately
and collectively to entertain him, but
without success. BY three O'Clock in
the afternoon the child dropped off to
sleep, his last words 81 want ba-
mana"
The hearts of the members Of the
household beat as one and their minds
were filled with but a single thought
and that was to have banana for the
child when he awakened.
Quietly the mother went to the tele-
phone and called her husband who
was employed in the city, "to bring
some bananas home for Teddy when he
came in the evening"" The grand
mother put on her sunbonnet and
crossed the fields to neighbor who
| usually kept bananas; the aunt walked
a mile to the cross road where she
hoped to find fruit wagon that carried
fruit to a small country store, two
miles beyond the corner; and grandpa,
slipping out the back way, saddled his
horse and took the wagon road for the
country store. All we're successful,
and all had a dozen bananas, excepting
the father who brought two dozen
from the city.
Each one wore bright smile when
the child awakened, and they all sur
rounded him Offering him the desire of
his heart in abundance. But the child
drew back, 81 don't want banana" he
cried out in hurt tone, 81 want some
Strawberries"
And thus it is through life. Let us
make the best of what we have today
and pick up the happiness that we
find here and there in doing the work
all around us. We ruin our life and
the lives of those who live with us by
crying for bananas, only to find when
we get them that it is strawberries we
want.-Ex

True it is that "life wastes itself

Many go through life Tuning and
complaining, striving and struggling
in the effort to obtain certain things,

houses or lands; they contrive and
sacrifice everything to this end, believ-
ing that when the desired hope is
realized then they will be face to face
with happiness. If the goal is reached
we find happiness is still in advance
and smiling back in contempt, pointing
on to more land, higher political
position and more expensive manner
of living. We never find happiness in
our possessions, we never find it in our
achievements, but we find it in this
day, in its work, its impulses, the OPP
portunities; and when the sun sets this
day closes, it becomes memory; we
cannot store up this happiness for the
future, but each day brings us new
thoughts, new work, new life, still
concealing the germ of happiness, but

the future; have visions of a future
state in which they will have wealth
and all the difficulties and cares will
vanish, all their wishes will come true,
their desires fulfilled, and a rose
strewn path will be made especially
for them over which they will travel
in happiness ever after.
These fancy dreams often lead our
people to become disguised with their
present surroundings, to despise their
homes and the contents and they long
for the naturalization of that which
they hope is coming.
