industry and fOrthOught.
 Currant Jelly
 And first of all the very best jelly that can be made. Currants for jelly should not be over-ripe nor should they be gathered just after a rain if a clear, firm jelly is desired. Our grandmothers used to say that cur rants wouldn't jell after July 4th and there is no use taking chances on her methods born of experience if we can get entrants now Select a clear, sunshiny day for the work of jelly making and be sure that all the jelly jars, glasses, covers and preserving bowls and kettles are not only super ficially but scientifically clean. So too the kitchen and the dress of the workers. The kitchen is no place for discarded finery. Such as old stuff dresses tea gowns and kimOnos. Plain, clean cotton gowns and aprons with a cap to hold flying locks in place make a costume appropriate to the work in hand
 The requisites for the work are a good quality stone pot or porcelain lined kettle, an earthen bowl of good size into which the fruit juice may drip, shallow tins for heating the su- gar, a long handled wooden spoon. a coarse jelly bag, paraffine to cover the jelly before putting away, and plenty of jelly glasses with glass covers if possible. It is not necessary to stem the entrants though they

 Rose Beads
 With roses all a-bloom these Cal ifornia directions for making the lovely rose beads that are such a to others.
 Throw fresh rose leaves into the hopper of the regular kitchen food chopper using the fine knife and put ting @ basin under it to catch the juice. Add this to the rose pulp and spread the mass on an iron baking pan as it is the contact with the iron that gives the jet black which will be the eventual color of the beads. Leave twenty hours. occasionally stir ring and turning with a knife so as to bring every portion of the pulp in contact with the iron. Then run through the chopper again and re- turn to the pan. Do this nine times until the entire mass is a fine coal black color. At the end of the ninth day take off a little at a time and roll into beads small thimble is usually used for a measure-or an after dinner coffee spoon-fOr the beads must be uniform in size. If the paste is too dry it can be slightly moistened with Water-for if too hard it will crack Now roll into beads as large again as will be required-and leave on a flat surface to harden. The next day roll each bead again smooth and set aside as before. The third day the beads can be pierced

Cook the pulp tWen- ty-five minutes. add the sugar, stirc saucer retains it's shape and does not spread. Put into pots and cover when cool.
 Currant and Cherry Preserve
 Put three quarts stemmed and washed entrants in the preserving kettle and cook until the juice begins to exude. Crush and strain through cheese cloth to get all the juice. Have in readiness twelve quarts cherries, pitted, and put into the preserving kettle with the juice of the entrants and eight pounds of sugar. Heat slowly to the boiling point; skin and simmer fifteen minutes, or until the cherries look clear. Pour into small jars or glasses and seal. If more acid is desired half the quantity of sugar may be used.
 Green Currant Jam
 To make jam, pick the entrants from the stem, put in a preserving kettle and set in a larger kettle of boiling water, or over a gentle fire, to dry out suerfluous juice Add three quarters of a pound of sugar for each pound of ruit; boil quickly for thirty minutes, or less if it shows signs of telling. Stir and skim often. Turn into jars and cover when cold.
 Spiced Preserved Currants.
 Pick over seven pounds of entrants, stem and wash Put into a preserv- ing kettle with five pounds of grant, lated sugar, tablespoonful each cloves and cinnamon, two teaspoon fuls allspice and a pint of vinegar. Simmer about an hour and seal in pint jars. Never use tin or iron yes sells, or spoons in cooking entrants, as their acid acts upon metals, spoil ing both the color and flavor of the preserve.
 Black Currant Jam
 Place six pound black entrants in a saucepan and put the saucepan in larger one of boiling water. Cover and boil slowly two or three hours or till the fruit is broken then pour into a sieve, which should be fine enough to keep back the seeds, lit tie at a time. having a bowl under meath; rub the entrants with a wood en potato masher through the sieve; then measure the pulp, allowing Tor every pint one pound of sugar; place the currant pulp in a kettle over the fire and boil twenty minutes; add the sugar, stir and boil till a drop when put on a plate will retain the shape of bead without spreading, then fill into small jars.

should be picked over. all bits of leaves removed, and then thoroughly washed and drained This last pro cess must not be sighted as the ra- wages of the currant worm have made a frequent dusting with hellebere necessary.
 Equal parts of red and white cur rants, or red raspberries and entrants, two parts of the former to one of the latter, make a delicately cOlOred and favored jelly. The raspberry alone lacks the gelatinous quality and pleasing acid that distinguishes the currant. Place the entrants in stone jar or the preserving kettle and set in large pan of water. As the entrants commence to heat mash with a large wooden pestle until re- duced to a pulp. Take the jar off the range and scooping mp the pulp put in jelly bag to drain. This is best done the night before the jelly is to be made, as that allows time for the juice to drip by itself and the jelly will be clearer than when it has to be squeezed through the bag. When the juice is all extracted, meas ure out by pints and return to the kettle. Take as many pints or pounds Of sugar as there are pints of juice, and place on the shallow tins to heat in the oven, taking care they do not get hot enough to dis color the sugar. Boil the juice just twenty minutes from the time it commences to boil and throw the heated sugar in, stirring rapidly all the time As soon as it is all dissolv- ed, remove the spoon, let the juice just come to the boil again, and take at once from the fire. Fill jelly glasses that have been rolled in hot water, and as soon as cool coat with melted paraffine or a mixture of one third paraffine to tWo-thirds wax; or seal with white of egg spread on paper or with sterilized cotton. Keep in cool, dry place
 Black Currant Jelly

SERUM FOR HEMORRHAGES
WILL SAVE MANY LIVES

New York.--A remarkable medical
discovery that is expected to rapidly
cut down the high mortality ffrom
pulmonary tuberculosis and other
ailments that cause excessive hem
orrhages has been made by physici.
ans at Bellevue hospital. After
months of experimental work they
have produced a serum which they
declare will prevent or almost i'm
mediately stop hemorrhages.
During the last few weeks the new
remedy has been used with almost
invariable success on a number of
patients at Bellevue. Most of those
treated were tubercular victims. II
was also used on several persons
known as "bleeders" on cases of in
ternal hemorrhages and on boy
who had bled for a week after two of
his teeth We're extracted.
The new serum is from the blood
of horses, from which the red and
white corpuscles have been removed
leaving n colorless fluid. Its appli-
cation is based on the theory that
hemorrhages are due either to sur
plus or shortage of certain constitu.
