Rhubarb Jam


 Allow a pound of sugar and a lemon for each pound of rhubarb. Peel the lemon as thin as possible. being careful not to get any of the bitter portion. Put this thin lemon peel into a bowl, add the pulp of the lemon, extracting all the seeds, and put in the rhubarb, cut into inch pieces. Cover all and let stand in a cool place over night In the morning put the in- gredients into a preserving kettle ana cook slowly, stirring frequently for three quarters of an hour. Take from the fire, put into jars and, when 1t begins to cool, seal. Blindness of Mrs. B.

 If Y. A. s. will write to Dr. J. Mac Donald, Binghamton. N. T., she wld get the almanac desired for 10 cents. MRS. s. A. P" Alligator Pears
 q saw the reply of Mrs. c. T. s. to Mrs. H. K. NJ for a recipe for the prep aration of alligator pears. Besides the manner mentioned we served them in Cuba in other ways more appetizing to the northern palates accustomed to sal ads. First, we cut them into halves, re- move the stones, and serve them with a French dressing, made of lemon Cor iimes if preferred( and olive oil, with the usual condiments. Sometimes we added a few drops of onion juice. We also serve them with a sweet cream dressing Cor cocoanut milk) sweetened, to which we added lime or lemon juice. We also removed the rind, taking care to preserve the VI, .d green layer next to the rind, slicing them thin and adding little grated onion. Serve in this way with mayonnaise The rich green delicate cream color of the inner layer of the fruit, and lne golden mayonnaise make a salad as artistic as it is delicious. We also serve them with sugar and lemon juice. When one is a lover of this fine fruit one delights to eat it with a little salt alone, as the eu- cumber lover often prefers that vcgetaule. q note that the new Cuban consul pro- poses to bring the Cuban fruits to Chicago markets in their prime condition. The al- ligator pears, like other Cuban frues, would not be recognized and would cer- tainly be disowned by any Cuban or any American who has known the luscious fruits of Cuba. When you have pineap- ples So ripe that they are eolorless and you can eat them with spoon, and sugar would be an insult to them-you will un- derstand that the fruits called 'C 3an' are a libel on the delicious productions of that island wonderful.
