WHEN JELLY WILL NOT JELL
Putting Material Back Into Saucepan
Only Serves to Make a Bad
Matter Worse.

When jelly will not jell, and that
happens sometimes, do not turn it
back into a saucepan to cook over.
That breaks the little gelatined glob-
ules that have formed, even though
not enough to make jell, and you
will have at best sticky, stringy
mess. Instead, take large dripping
pan, half fill it with water, set the
undisturbed glasses of jelly in it, not
close enough to touch, put into hot
oven and allow to bake until sufficient
ly jellied. 1t sometimes takes three
quarters of an hour, but the jelly will
cut as smooth and clear as though
stiff enough at first cooking. A pinch
of powdered alum will help the jelly
ing process. Now is the time when
the far-seeing housewife, while doing
her preserving, puts up dainty little
glasses of jelly or pots of jam, to be
used for Christmas gifts. For few
cents little fancy glasses, jars, mugs
or tiny pitchers may be had, which,
filled with homemade jelly and accom-
panied by a Christmas greeting, will
prove very acceptable gifts. Small
cold cream jars and the like, If well
scalded, make excellent containers for
jelly.

PLAY never REAL triumph"
Sheridan Knowles Widely Known
Drama of "virginius" Is Open
to Criticism.

James Sheridan Knowles, an Irish
schoolmaster, who had also been an
actor, whose father was first cousin
to Richard Brinsley Sheridan, brought
to Macready a tragedy called "Vir-
ginius," widely proclaimed as re-
turn to truth and to nature as against
artificialities of the times.
"Virginius" is an admirable exam
pie of the ordinary bourgeois drama,
a bourgeois drama applied, unfortu-
nately, to Roman tragedy. Everyone
knows, of course, the story of the sol
der Virginius, who killed his daugh-
ter rather than she should fall into
the hands of Appius.
When Shakespeare dealt with Ro-
man plays he made, it is true, his
characters Englishmen, but he made
them of heroic mold. Brutus and
julius Caesar, Mark Anthony and the
rest, are certainly not commonplace,
even though one can hardly describe
them as accurately drawn in accord
ance with their Latin types.
But of all the characters of Sheri-
dan Knowles play it can safely be
said that they are just mediocre, bour-
geois, commonplace Englishmen and
Englishwomen of the times.
Virginius, for instance, is an excel
lent father of the middle class, whom
we could imagine going down to his
city Office every day and returning to
the suburbs in the evening. Virginia,
the lovely heroine, is simpering
schoolgirl-a virtuous idiot
If this is what a return to nature
meant, it must be confessed that it
is a kind of nature that we do not
want perpetuated.-E

SUBSTITUTE FOR ICE BOX
Food May Be Kept Cool in Contriv'
ance Which Is Not at All Hard
70 Put Together.

A box fitted up to hold food helps
to solve the problem of keeping food
during the heated months. If the
cover Is removed and the bottom ia
ken out, and the remaining frame
fitted with a shelf or two, and then
stood in a window that is free from
sun and to which the breeze has &C
cess, it proves quite good cooler.
But it's construction is not complete
until it is covered with strips of heavy
cloth. such as burlap, sacking, or fan
mel. These are fastened on top of the
box and hang down over the sides,
completely covering the whole. On
top of this again is placed dish of
water, with narrow strips of material
laid in it and hanging over on the
cloth covering of the box. The water
oozes through these and keeps the
cloth covering wet, it having been first
given a good wetting. The air reach
ing this causes evaporation which In
turn creates cold. The vessel of water
must be kept constantly filled. The
degree of cold obtained will depend
greatly upon the condition of the at
mosphere When this is very dry, the
evaporation will be much more rapid,
and the cold will be increased CORE
spondingly.

ONLY Remedy for SeIfishness

What is most pitiful and at the
same time amusing about the people
who give themselves up to selfishness
is their habit of referring the whole
universe to themselves. 1t is as If
they were at the center, with all life
radiating about them. Through their
false sense of adjustment they find
themselves continually subjected to
disappointing and irritating and dis
printing adventures. Attitude, re-
marks, behavior, perhaps not in the
least related to themselves, they cause
to assume an imaginary relation.
Their feelings are likely to be in q
continual state of turmoil. They en-
courage it by persisting in the belief
that the trouble lies outside. And yet
the remedy is always waiting for them
in their consciousness. To make life
over they need only to make over
themselves.

MADE HIM CHANGE HIS SIGN
Bachelor Found That Persistent Sales
men Had Some Other Way of
Getting Business.

An old bachelor, in order to prevent
men annoying him by knocking at his
door to dispose of their wares, affixed
thereto a label to this effect: Hawk
ers, take notice The inhabitants OF
this house never buy anything at the
door" Shortly afterward he was
aroused by loud knocking at his par.
lor window. and looking out he saw
two fellows with clothes-props, mats,
and pegs for sale. Throwing up the
sash, he bawled: Can you read?"
Yes, master" answered one.
Then don't you see notice affixed
to my knocker that i never buy any
thing at the door,
ITO be sure We do. That's the rea-
son why we thought we would make
bold and. try to do little business
at the window"
The bachelor was pacified, and made
a purchase Immediately afterwards,
however, he sent for a painter, and
had the addition made to his an
nouncement, Nor at the window

How Experts Are Made.

In every generation there is apt to
spring up body of men who, add
ing to natural abilities and an uncom-
mon stock of assurance certain
amount of specialized knowledge, ter
rorize the rest of the world under the
guise of experts"
Thinking that they find something
rotten in the state of Denmark, in
capable of calm reflection, and eager
for notoriety, they hit upon specific
for what is amiss, compared with
which all others are spurious imita-
tions,
Their field of interest may range
from solar mythology to eugenics,
but the threefold badge of the tribe
is an overweening belief in their own
infallibility coupled with proportion
ate contempt for ordinary human be-
ings, the command of barbarous jar
gon and an irrepressible desire to
badger and bully their unfortunate fel-
low-creatures.

the railway depot at certain hour, to
meet the train. And he had gone, to

said Jimmy casually, as he shook
hands and said good-by.
1t was that that made Will think
he had really changed. How could he
associate those elusive memories
which he had almost forgotten with
this life that had taken possession of
him?
He thought of Norma Gale, the
daughter Of the old homesteader
down the valley. How was he to tell
her? The girl, educated and refined
as were all the people of the district,
was utterly unpresentable in the sort
Of society in which he had moved.
She had never worn a gown with a

Yet 1t never occurred to Will that
he could do anything but go. 1t had
never entered his mind that he was
to stay permanently in the West.
A man on horseback was riding up
to his cabin. Will watched him as he
approached. Visitors were something
of an event in the settlement, and
Will knew the rider as the telegraphist

grown up around the depot and was

VIII Thorpe thought about his
friends words that evening when he
was alone in his cabin on the noun
tainside. Had he changed during his
three years in the West, beyond the
mere physical appearance? He was
inclined to think he had. Certainly
his tastes seemed to have altered in
many ways.

boy rather harshly, refused to assist
him further unless he entered his iron
foundry and settled down. Angry
words had arisen, and in the end Will
had packed his suitcase and gone
West with a hundred dollars in his
pockets.
His sweetheart, Marion Vansittart
had scolded him for his decision. She
had reminded him, petulantly, that she
could neither marry a poor man nor
wait for ever. He had kissed her and
told her that he would return with his
fortune made. And for a few months
she had written. Then her letters be-
came shorter and less frequent; finally
they ceased altogether.
It was more than two years since
he had heard from her. And gradual.

him, and he had ceased to care.
Then he had received a mysterious,

that be with our enemies. Open our
eyes that we may see the mountain
full of the chariots of fire and the

How to Repack Ice Cream.

When the cream is frozen, take on
the cross bar, remove the lid and
dasher, pack the ice cream neatly In
the bottom of the can, replace the lid,
closing the hole in it with cork. Fill
the tub with salt and ice, pushing
them down to the bottom of the tub
until the tub is filed to its top and
covering the can; then put over the
freezer a piece of carpet or blanket,
to exclude air, and stand in cold
place for one or two hours to ripen
and harden. When ice cream is fresh
each ingredient is tasted separately;
but after standing one or two hours
they blend and form pleasant whole.
This is called ripening.
