KEEPING GRAPES.

VOU will hear of many ways Of
keeping grapes for winter use.
but the only plan that car be
depended upon is to put them up.
Among the many delicious methods of
treating them some of the most popu-
lar are suggested here.
Raisins Epices.-Take three pounds
each Of grapes and sugar. two tea
%spOOnfuls each Of cinnamon and all
spice. one-half a t%easpoonful of cloves
and one-quarter cupful of vinegar.
Boil the skins of grapes until tender.
cook the pulps, then strain and add the
skins, spices and vinegar. Boil until
Of the consistency of marmalade.
Delicious Sweets.
Seedless Grape Preserves.-Wash and
stem and squeeze the pulp in m pan
while you put skins in another. Cook
pulp until mashed, then put through a
cOlander to remove seeds. Take skins
aud pulp. put on to boil, adding a cup
full Of sugar to two cupfuls of grapes.
cook twenty minutes and then skim.
Seal in glass Jars.
Grape Conservative three pints
Of pulp and skin after removing the
seeds from the grapes. Add three
pounds of sugar, II pound of raisins
cut into small pieces. n orange cut
up fine. n pound of walnut meat
broken into small pieces and added
during last ten minutes of cooking.
Cook slowly forty-fve minutes. put

A Popular Recipe.
Grape Marmalade.-Pick. wash. drain
and remove stems from grapes. Sep
arite the pulp from the skins: put the
pulp in a preserving kettle. heat grad
ually to the boiling point and let SIM
mer until the seeds separate from the
pulp: then rub through a sieve. Re-
turn to the kettle with skins, add an
equal quantity of sugar. again bring
to the boiling point and let simmer
thirty minutes, stirring occasionally to
prevent burning. Put in jars and seal.
Canned Grapes.-Take grapes that
are not too ripe. Pick from stems and
pack in Jars as closely as you can
without breaking the skins. Make a
strip of half a cupful Of sugar and a
cupful of water and pour over each jar
Of fruit. If this strip does not fill the
jars add more water until It does; then
put the top OF without screwing down.
Set the Jars in a boiler upon folded
towels or pieces Of wood. anything to
keep them from touching the bottom
of the boiler. Pour in hot water to
reach within two or three inches from
the tops of the jars. Cover the boiler
and place over the IRE. let the water
boil for an hour. then remove the Jars
and seal.

Game Of Daffodil.

This is for young children who a.
ways love ring games and singing
plays. Two children stand oppoate
each other and raise their Joined hands.
Those forming the ring pass under. n
by one while all keep singing. suiting
the action to the words:
We're looking abou for q daffodil.
A daffodil. a daffodil.
We're looking about for a daffodi.
We've found n here.
At the word "here," the raised arms
come down and lnclose the head Of
the child who happens at the moment
to be passing under their heads. Then
all sing: .
We find one here: we find one here.
We're looking about for q dafodil.
And we and one here.
Daffodil now takes the place of
one Of the children who, caught her.
or him. and calls out "Buttercup."
The children understand that butter
cup" instead Of danodil is the word
for the next verse. 10 they sing:
We're looking about for q buttercup.
A buttercup, q buttercup. etc.
The leader may hold q bouquet and
give to each child the flower being
sung when she was caught. Butter
cup. when caught. takes the place Of
daffodil. aud the latter goes into the
ring. The newcomer calls out the name
Of another fower-mignonette. daisy
flower or bright bluebell-and that'
name is substituted. and the game
goes on. 1t Is finished when each
child has been caught.

But. though my goal I never see.
This thought shall always dwell with me
I will be worthy Of It.

The efforts Of my neighbor:
But, though LIES dearest Joy l miss,
There lies a nameless strength in this:
will be worthy Of 1t.
