jam and Jelly.

From the indianapolis News.
Consequent upon the great STRAND
the term great stir is used advisedly
among thirty housewives in jam and
jelly making and in putting up fruits.
there is an increased demand for
sugar, which the manufacturers of
this necessity have not been laggard
in taking notice of and advancing the
price. The making of these dainties
has long been encouraged in England
and Scotland, and half century ago
no less a man than the mighty Glad
stone himself preached the economic
value of this art preventative to the
danes and lassies of Scotia The in
PRODUCTION of this art in Britain goes
back to a time preceding the middle
of the eighteenth century, and in
quaint old book called annals of the
Parish" Rev. MICAH Balwhidder,
who kept a diary, writes:
"I should not. in my notations.
forget to mark new luxury that got
in among the commonalty at this time
Q760). BY the opening of new roads
and the traffic thereon with carts and
carriers, and by our young men that
were sailors going to the Clyde and
sailing to Jamaica and the West
Indies. heaps of sugar and coffee
beans were brought home, while
many, among the kail-stocks and cab
bages in their yards, had planted
groset and berry bushes. Which two
things happening together the fashion
to make jam and jelly, which hitherto
had been known only in the kitchens
and confectionaries of the gentry.
came to be introduced into the
clachan (village). 1t was
found that jelly was an excellent
medicine for sore throat, and jam
as good as London candy for cough
or a cold or shortness of the
breath. I could not however, say
that this gave me so much concern
as the smuggling trade, only it occa--
stoned a great fasherie (annoyance)
to Mrs. Balwhidder. For in the
berry time there was no end to the
borrowing of her brass-pan to make
jelly and jam, till Mrs To-day. of
the Cross-Keys, bought one. which
in it's turn came into request and
saved ours"

iron With Their Feet.

One Of the most curious sights which
l beheld in Cairo was men ironing with
their feet, says writer in the Wide
World Magazine. They had not been
mixing their drinks. 1t is simply
custom of the country. These men
were employed In the native tailoring
establishments. Except for long
iron handle, the irons were shaped like
the ordinary flatiron.4 only larger. A
solid block of wood rested on the top
Of the iron. and on this the men placed
one foot. guiding the iron In the direc-
ton desired by means Of the handle:
For the sake Of convenience the iron
ing boards were raised only few
inches above the ground. The men
troned with great rapidity. and. how
ever strange the method may seem to
our ideas, it certainly does the work
very well and expeditiously.

Town Walks to Be Rebuilt.

We actually rejoice over an announce
ment made public this forenoon-that
our sidewalks and street crossings are at
last to receive the attention that has
been needed for months. This state
ment should and no doubt will serve as
consiliatory among the Banners readers
in this place.
Tomorrow subscription list will be
circulated on our streets for the purpose
of raising fund for the rebuilding Of
walks in the town and the repair of its
principal street crossings. Show pride
in your town-your home-by subscrib-
ing to it literally. 1t is planned to re-
build the three walks leading from the
Denton corner to the three churches.
This is the primary intent. The fund
then remaining will be used in con-
structing walk on the north side of our
main street, leading toward the depot,
and in repairing street crossings.
Surely more needed public improve
,
gested, and the list should and will be
freely subscribed to. When it is pre-
sented to you try to Guido your neigh
Dor by "raising his bet" He won''
kick, but may feel prompted to later in
crease his own subscription.
AS the fund now in the hands OF thu
Civic League was raised for the purpose
of street improvement, and given Will
that end in view, it is hoped that thu
members of the league will permit it tt
be used in this work. 1t is particular!
desired that they at once give an ex
preston of their wishes in the matter.
On with the movement! Let's hav
the new walks right away!

No: that could never have borne. for
