TO PREPARE sPICED PLUMs
Should Be Put Up With Sugar and
Vinegar and Condiments Of
Various Kinds.

Select seven pounds of damson
plums; wipe them with napkin, then
prick each plum several times with a
needle and put them into stone jars.
Place kettle with three and a half
pounds Of sugar and one pint of vim.
egar over the fire. Break one ounce of
cinnamon into small pieces, add one
tablespoonful of whole cloves, four
blades Of mace and one tablespoonful
Of whole allspice. Sew these up in
muslin or cheesecloth bags and drop
them into the vinegar. Boil five min
utes, then pour the boiling hot sirup
over the plums. Cover and let stand
until the next day, then drain off the
sirup and place it with the spice bags
In kettle over the fire. Boil ten min
utes and pour it again over the fruit.
Repeat this once more the day follow
ing, then lay the spice bags on top
Of the fruit, close the jar and lay a
piece of paper over the top. Although
they will keep in jars, yet they will
keep their color better if sealed in
cans. Grapes can be spiced in the
same manner-Mother's Magazine.

MAKES A SPLENDID DESSERT
French Way of Serving Pears Will Be
Found About the Best That Has
Been Devised.

A French Pear Dessert.-Every
Frenchwoman knows the value Of COM
bining cooked fruit with cereal for the
family dessert. Here is her favorite
way of serving pears: Peel, core and
cut in halves half dozen firm pears.
Cook them slowly for an hour in a
sirup Of two cupfuls of water and one
OF sugar. Meantime boil in a double
boiler for about an hour half cupful
of rice in two cupfuls of milk, with a
small piece of butter and sugar and
vanilla to taste. When the rice is
cooked turn it into mold The French
COOK keeps the rice warm while it is
setting in the mold, but it would prob
ably suit the American taste better to
place the mold on ice. When ready to
serve turn the rice out on a round dish
and arrange the pears neatly in bor-
der. Pour over them the sirup in
which they have been cooked, favored,
II desired, with little rum.
Canned Pears.-Bartlett pears are
considered by many housekeepers the
best for canning. If not perfectly ripe
they can be easily mellowed by wrap
ping them up in woolen blanket, but
they must be little under rather than
over-ripe for canning. To every quart
jar allow seven or eight medium-sized
pears, pint of water and one-fourth
pound of sugar. Cut the fruit in halves,
pare, core and throw at once into cold
water to prevent discoloration. Put the
sugar and water first into a preserv-
ing kettle and let heat slowly; when
the scum appears remove it carefully,
and as soon as the sirup boils hard add
the fruit and boil all together from
three to ten minutes.
Put a cloth wet in cold water around
the jar when putting in the hot fruit,
in order to prevent breakage, and fur.
ther make sure against this by putting
in a couple of pears and little juice
at time. When the jar is full run a
silver knife down the sides of it to let
out the air bubbles, and seal tightly
while the fruit Is still hot. Canned
pears should be kept in a cool, dark
place.
Seckel pears, which may be canned
In the same way, are best when picked
directly from the tree and canned at
once. If too hard both they and the
Bartletts may be boiled for ten min
utes or less before putting them in the
sirup.

Redwood Thousands of Centuries Old.
While one Of the professors of the
University of California was studying
rock formations about twenty miles
from San Francisco he discovered q
quantity Of California redwood splin-
ters which had undergone no change
in texture. They were neither petri-
fed nor decayed.
The splinters could be shaved and
cut with knife and retained their dis
tinctive markings of redwood.
The strata in which these were
found embedded in the sandy base Of
the rock showed they had at one time
been sunk under the sea and at later
date had been raised and tilted over,
30 that the position of the trees was
horizontal instead of vertical.
It is estimated the age of these
trees is in the millions of years. The
discovery was made at Nussel Rock,
Cal.

Effect Of SONG.

Apart from the esthetic effect, the
moral and the physical effect of sing
ing is wholesome. There are few ex
ercises better than singing, both for
the physique and the nerves. OF
course, in it's moral effect much de-
pends upon the quality of music. A
good deal Of our popular music is OF
decidedly questionable morality
There are times when the sensuous
effect may easily develop into sensual
effect. But there can be no doubt

her. II have to work very hard as it

had"
