Goethe's House and Old Market.

a crush the spirit of that race, for
it exists and thrives and multiplies
no matter what its hardships.
Today all the best houses in the
city, the best carriages and the best
places at the opera are owned by the
Jews.
There is one privilege or position
In Germany that a Jews money can
not buy, an citizenship in the army.
No matter how hard he tries, how ex-
cellent his character, nor how much
money he has, this coveted position is
not open to him. 1t is not against
the law, and the government official
may try weakly to interfere, but he
cannot get the appointment just the
same.
The best he can do is to marry his
daughter to an army officer, who is
poor and needs money to help him
keep up his position. To marry an
army officer is the greatest ambition
Of the German Jewess, for while So
ciety will not receive her with open
arms, an officers wife receives a GER
tain amount of homage.
Frankfort is a beautiful, big modern
city, with great wide streets, extern
sive parks and fine public buildings.
The stores are very much up-to-date,
and the clothes are modelled after
Parisians. Perhaps next to the Ber-
lin girls the Frankfort girls are the
best dressed in Germany. The Ger
man Jewess is always welldressed. In
fact, they are the only welldressed
women in Germany, and if the Gen
tiles frown at them with scorn, at
least the Jewesses know that their
taste and way Of wearing clothes is
the envy of every German woman
Frankfort lies in a beautiful spot
with magnificent surroundings. To
the west is the Valley of the Rhine,
to the north is Taunues, to the east
is the Valley of the Main, with the
old city of Burger and the Spersart
forest Of thousand-year-old oaks, and
In the south is the Alden forest.
The fact that Goethe was born here
is the Frankforter's proudest posses
sion. The n old house Is still stand
ing in Hirschgarten in which the poet
was born in 1749. 1t was here Goethe
spent his youth, and he tells so much
about it in his autobiography. Today
it is a museum and contains many
relics of the poet.
At the corner Of Kannengiesser
street Is n old tenement house,
where it is said Luther found lodging
one Sunday morning on his way to
Worms. He is said to have spent his
evenings singing and playing on the
lutte.
Among the other interesting private
houses in Frankfort is the old house
In the Jewish quarter where the Roth
childs were born.

any decomposition or If the steriliZa-
ton has not been complete the cover
will come off.
This is because the pressure on the
top has been relieved by gas formed
by the bacteria. In this case it is al
ways best to empty the jar and fill up
with a fresh supply. If the top does
not come off you may be sure that the
vegetable is keeping.
In canning beans select young and
tender ones, string them and break
them into short lengths. Pack firmly
in the jar, cover with cold water and
add a teaspoonful of salt to each quart.
Put on rubber and top and boil as dt-
rected, one hour each for three sue
cessive days.
Although beets will keep we'll in the
cellar during the winter it is very de-
sirable to can them while they are
young and tender. Wash and cut off
the tops and boil them until they are
thoroughly cooked. Take off the skins
and slice thin and pack in jars. Cover
with water and sterilize as previously
described.
Pare eggplant, cut in thin slices and
drop in boiling water for 20 minutes.
Drain and pack in jars. Cover with
water and sterilize as directed.
Cut summer squash into small
blocks, pack in the jars and cover with
water. Add a teaspoonful of salt to
each quart and sterilize.
When peas are prepared and canned
in the proper way they lose
the delicate flavor that they possess
when fresh. Shell the young peas,
pack in jars, cover with water and
sterilize.
Volatile oils, which give favor to
most vegetables, are not lost during
this method of sterilization and vege-
tables canned properly retain their ia
tractive color and lose very little Of
their flavor.
After the jars have been sterilized
and tested, they should be kept in the
dark, as sunlight soon destroys the
color Of fruits and vegetables.
If half gallon jars are used always
increase the time of boiling, making it
an hour and a half instead of one
hour.
The process of boiling on consecu-
tive days is the safest method and is
much to be preferred in home can
ming. The first days boiling kills
practically all the bacteria, but does
not kill all the spores.
The second days boiling kills this
new lot of bacteria before they have
had time to produce spores. The third
boiling is advisable in order to be sure
that sterilization is complete.
The best fruits for canning are ap-
pies, pears, ounces, peaches, plums,
pineapples and a%pricots. OF small
fruits, cherries, strawberries, black
berries, raspberries, damsons and cur
rants. Rhubarb cut into small pieces
is also successfully canned.
When large fruits have to be peeled,
a quart bottle at a time. Put them in
to cold water as they are prepared, to
prevent their di%scoloring.
Choose perfectly fresh, sound fruits,
and remember that even n fruit that
has started to decay will cause a
whole jar to ferment.
Whenever you have a surplus of
fruit after a meal don't throw it away
can it! The method is easy.
Do not use artificial p~reservatives Of
any kind. The cheapest, surest and
only absolutely safe way is to sterilize
by means of heat applied in the form
of cooking.

looking woman. I'll tell you whom.
1t is not the kings and queens Of
earth, nor the merely rich, but a wo-
man who, I know, earns every cent
of her income, yet manages to squeeze
so many pleasures and junketings in
to her daily life that she sometimes
exclaims in despair: ooh, when will

An open fire, blue tea things on the
table, and a teakettle singing a little
song of comfort are the proper stage
settings for this little anecdote.
An Irish hostess, when she asks if
you'll have sugar in your "tay," holds
out the bowl and absent-mindedly goes
on with her conversation, or stirs the
fire, allowing you to help yourself.
An English hostess asks: "One lump
or two?" and carefully drops the sugar
into your tea.
If you should ask a Scotch hostess
for a little more sugar in your tea
she would demand, with a note of sur
prise: And hae We stirred it yet"
