E~lderberries are not eaten very

different ways, for they will furnish
an unusual flavor to her winter menus.
Grape and Eiderberry Preserve
This is delicious. To make 1t allow
equal quantities of elderberries and
grapes and use a grape with decided,

the elderberry makes up for much
tartness of grape. The grapes must
be opened with a very sharp knife
and the seeds must be removed. Al

and grapes together weigh. Put the
fruit in a preserving kettle and barely
cover with cold water. Bring to the
boiling point, skim and add a fourth
of the sugar. Bring to the boiling
point again. add another quarter Of
the sugar and boil for 20 minutes. Re-

lies on a plate on the ice.
Pack into jars. Be careful not to
break the grapes more than is abso-
lutely necessary in the cooking.
Elderberry JelIy.-For this use half
as much wild green grape Juice as
elderberry Juice. Use a pound of sug-
ar to each of juice and cook, skim
ming as the strip SINNERS, until it
jellies when tested on ice.
Elder Blossom Wine. - Pick from
the stems enough blossoms to fill a
quart measure when pressed down;
add n gallon of cold water and steep
"a hours. Strain and add four
pounds of sugar, three sliced lemons
and I'M cup of yeast. Set away for
two weeks. then strain carefully, poul
into a jug and, after several months
bottle.
Canned Elderberries.-One peck o.
firm, ripe ~elderberries and M pint o.
strong vinegar, three pounds of brown
sugar and one quart of molasses. Boi
all together for five or ten minutes
and bottle. The elderberries SHOULD
be measured after picking from the
stems.

frontier history as the rendezvous OF

Jesus entering alone with Plate. Dur

PLATE asks: Art thou the king of

But the clamoring reply is: mot this

possibly running to a pile of thorn
bushes such as are still extensively
gathered and kept for fuel, plaits a
crown, which is placed upon Jesus, as
also a purple robe. Thus he is pre-
sented to his adversaries outside, and
Pilates voice is heard above the din
of outcries, saying "Ecce Homo" (Be-
