British Deny German Claim That
Places Of Military Importance
Were Damaged.

BERLIN. September 25. via London,
z:27 pm.-Extensive fires were OBJ
served to have been caused by the Zep-
pelin bombardment of London and the
England midland counties Saturday
night. 1t was announced today in the
oi:,c report on the air raid. Two of
the Zeppelins were lost as a result Of
the fire of anti-aircraft guns in Lon
don. the statement adds. 1t reads:
During the night of September 1894
several naval airships dropped bombs
on London. on places of military i'm
portance and on the midland counties.
Large fires were everywhere observed
to result. these remaining visible for a
long time.
Previously. before crossing the Brit
fsh coast. the airships were fired upon
by guard vessels, and during the at
tack itself were under an extraordinar-
lily heavy fire of incendiary shells from
numerous batteries in well directed
volleys. Two of the airships fell vic
tins to anti-aircraft guns at London.
All the others returned undamaged"

IN JELLY SEASON
METHODS OF PUTTING UP vARI.
Gus KINDS OF FRUIT.
Tartarie or citrie Acid Added to the
Juice viii Be Found to Effect an
Improvement-Must Not Be
Used Always.

II is Just about as easy to make
jelly from apples, ounces, peaches, or
pears as from any other kind Of fruit,
If you know how, according to Miss
Addie D. Root of the Missouri College
Of Agriculture. All that is necessary
is to add enough tartaric or cltric acid
to the juice to make it taste about as
sour as a good sour apple. This usu'
ally means about level teaspoOnful
to a quart of juice. 1t destroys the
delicate flavor of peach and pear juice
somewhat but improves the flavor of
sweet apple and ounce juice.
Blackberries, blueberries, raspber-
ries, partially ripe grapes, crab APP
pies, sour apples, and plums usually
make good jelly because they have
enough acid already and also contain
substance called pectin which must
be present and must be brought out
with the juice by heating If jelly is
to be made. That is why jelly-makers
do not simply press out the juice from
cold fruit All apples and similar
fruits have enough pectin for jelly
making purposes.
In making apple jelly cover the
fruit with water before cooking and
boil 20 or 80 minutes After boil
ing has continued 10 or Is minutes,
add three-quarters of cupful Of sugar
for every cupful of juice. The sugar
that will be required should have been
measured into pan and warmed in
the oven for while before it is added.
It should be carefully stirred in to pre-
vent burning.
AS soon as the glasses are filled
with the hot jelly they should be set in
a cool place while jellying takes place.
They should be sealed from the air,
but If the jelly has been slightly over
cooked 1t may be covered with panes
of glass and allowed to harden In the
sun. When 1t Is well set pour hot par
affin over the top and put clean tin
covers on the glasses. Store them
away In a dry, cool place where the
jelly cannot mold.

II the north Atlantic shippers who
think that the bad weather from which
they have been suffering is due to the
conclusion Of the bombardment in Eu-

colleagues In the West India and Ca

turbances. The storms which have
been raging In the north Atlantic, the

"Best Ever Made"

First Of all, fry an onion, finely

dripping, till 1t is golden brown, then
add one ounce Of flour, and after stir

half pint Of stock, well favored with
vegetables, two or three cloves, salt II

catchup. Stir for a few minutes over
the fire, then flavor further with a tea
spoonful or more of brown sauce or
meat extract. Let the sauce boil fast
over the fire, so as to reduce 1t little,
then add some browning. Strain the
sauce into a small shallow stewpan
and put 1t on one side to get cold. In
the meantime cut some meat, and not
too small slices from your meat, let
ting them be all as much as possible
Of the same size, and remove every
particle Of skin, fat, gristle or burnt
portion, as it Is the latter which gives
the "warmed-up" taste that is so un-
pleasant. When the sauce is cold lay
in 1t the pieces Of meat, cover up the
saucepan and in about an hours time
put 1t at the corner of the stove, warm
ing by very gradual degrees. If al

to dlsplace Its predecessor, each eff
fort thus receiving its due share of
attention and appreciation. Where
there are several children II should
be possible to provide large paper en-
velopes and boxes IN which these early
treasures may be kept.
Every mother knows that young
children can be a nuisance and In the
way Just when they are trying to help

contribute little to tightening the days

Is 10 be measured In good will, in ap-
plicatiou and in the satisfaction that
comes-or should come-from having
made a worthy effort at doing some
thing useful. We should therefore
not belittle the achievement or make
the child feel that his assistance Is
worthless.
The child works In the spirit Of the
artist. He is not seeking material re-
wards; he wants the satisfaction OF
doing something that has meaning and
he wants appreciation. Without these

so the burden of keeping keen the

CALLED AN IDEAL KITcHEI
Snowy White, and Not a Single Dark
Cupboard In Apartment Marks Up
To-Date Household "Workshop."

The following description Of thu
kitchen in the home of a woman famed
for her interest in household efficiency
is given to show what intelligence,
combined with a reasonable amount
Of money and determination to have
ones workshop as up-to-date a place
as possible, can do.
The kitchen is white from ceiling
to tiles and contains no dark cup
boards, but In their place shelves and
cabinets. On the shelves at one side
are 80 glass jars Of graduated sizes,
each one labeled with the name of
comestible or condiment. Opposite
these are rows Of fireproof glass bak-
ing dishes for baking bread, cakes,
pies, custards; the old-fashioned tin
affairs have been discarded as I'M

granite ware there are files OF bright
aluminium sauce pans, rejecting points

celain sink 40 inches high. No tired,
round shoulders In this kitchen, you
see.
Near this stands a gas range with
an automatic electric pilot-light and
glass doored ovens with thermometers.
Four feet above the floor and near the
range rests a modern steamer, which
will cook an entire dinner over one
gas jet. In the middle of the room
is glass-topped table, and, sitting
there, the person who is doing the
ordering can see at a glance what is
lacking In the glass Jars. The maid

one kind or another. II is therefore
necessary not only that opportunities
be furnished for doing various kinds Of
work, but that the first awkward at
tempts be appreciated in a way that
will lead to further effort. And this
Is just as true of attempts at singing
or Observation-Disclosures of a song or
story, for example-as 1t is of at
tempts at making some object or
drawing that others may handle or
exhibit.

of design or execution may have the
effect Of improving the child's taste or

discourage all effort.

said, my mother does not want me
to bother her any more with the
things l make" And Miss White laid
Genevieve's calendar aside.
1t is not difficult to see the point OF
view expressed in Genevieves plain
tive abnegation. There is really no
room for all these things 1T home.
We have all the calendars md blot
tiers and picture frames and shaving
pads that we really need. And as for
ornaments, these things are not par
ticularly beautiful, and If they are, as
may sometimes happen, they do not
harmonic with the scheme Of things
already installed, and, besides, they
gather dust, and there are few homes
that have not already too many dust
catchers. We can well understand
that Genevieve's mother was weary of
calendars and boOkmarks.
But Miss White is also weary of
calendars and bookmarks. Where
one mother has had half dozen she
has lad hundreds. She manages to
smile. however, in spite of the clutter
and In spite of the obvious monotony
through a curious trick of the mind
which IL would be well for Genevieve's
mother and other mothers to learn.
The trick is this: Instead Of dealing
with calendars and bookmarks, she
fixes her mind upon the efforts Of the
tots, she sees trial and tribulatlon,
she sees wonder and experiments,
where the rest OF us see only crude
limitations of tulips or apple BIOS
SONS.
Notwithstanding the high rentals
we have to pay 1t ought to be pos
slble for every mother to keep each
child's tokens of struggle and con-
quest for some time at least For
nothing Is more important to the
child than that his meager and I'm
successful attempts at mastering his
material surroundings should receive
generous encouragement. And while
much is gained by having someone
stand by and cheer him when he fall
tiers, that is not enough. The prod
uct. poor though It be, is the symbol
of an idea, an inspiration, and de-
serves the courtesy of serious and

thy of a place on the wall as any

that his efforts are not wasted. AS
