CANDIED CRANBERRIES
Directions for Making a Delicious
CORRECTION Much Resembling
Candied Cherries

Candied cranberries make delicious
and inexpensive CONNECTION much re-
sembling candied cherries but having
a distinct flavor of it's own. This is
suggestion to housewives from the home
economics experts of the department, who
have been developing new uses for the
cranberry. They have developed method
which, if followed closely, gives bright
firm, plump, semi-transparent candied
fruit which can be eaten as sweetmeat
or used to give touch of color to frosted
cakes, whipped cream, or custards, or
which can be used like citron in cakes
or puddings, or chopped up and added
to tutti-frutti ice creams.
The secret of candying cranberries lies
in handling the fruit so that it will be-
come saturated with sugar. This calls
for slow cooking on the installment plan
and the use of dish large enough to
permit all the berries to float at the top
of the sirup during cooking. The skins
are so tough that they must be pierced
before cooking to let the strip into the
pulp or interior. To do this three little
Sits, each one-eighth inch long, should
be made in each berry with the point
of penknife. Use selected, large,
firm cranberries. The directions for
cooking are as follows:
For IL cups of berries make thin
sirup by boiling together until clear 2
cups of sugar and 2 IL cups of water.
When the strip is cool add the berries
and bring very slowly to the boiling
point. If the berries are heated too
quickly, the skins will burst before the
sirup soaks into the pulp. AS soon as
the sirup boils take the dish off the stove
and let it stand over night. Next day
drain the sirup from the berries and
boil it until it is reduced to about half
it's original volume. Put the berries into
this medium-thick strip and heat slowly;
boil gently for three or four minutes and
then allow to stand for two hours or more.
Then boil gently third time for five
minutes. A smaller dish probably will
be needed for the third and last boiling.
When thoroughly cold or, better still,
on the following day, drain off the strip
and spread the berries out on lightly
buttered plate or sheet of clean, waxed
or lightly buttered paper until the surface
of the berries dries.
The berries, if directions have been
followed, will candy separately and not
into a sticky mass.
To make a delicious ice cream add
one-half to three-fourths of cup of
chopped berries to each quart of the
cream mixture. They also can be COM
bined with bits of candied orange or
lemon peel, or other glace fruits to make
tutti-frutti ice cream. The strip left
over after the berries are candied has a
pleasant sweet-acid flavor and fine color
and is excellent in pudding sauce or even,
when diluted with water, for use on
pancakes, waff1es, etc.

SUBLIME SIMPLICITY,
The Epitaph Over Sir Henry Lawrence,
tho Lucknow Hero.

The Epitaph Over Sir Henry Lawrence,
tho Lucknow Hero.
There is simple tomb in Lucknow,
in India, that cost no more than many
plain farmers gravestone in our ru-
raj burying places, but Clarence Poe
declares that 1t impressed him more
than anything else he saw in India ex-
cept the Himalayas, the Tai Mahal
and the view Of Benares from the
river.
1t is the tomb Of the heroic Sir Hen
~ Lawrence, who died so glorious a
death in the great mutiny Of 1857. No
commander in all India had planned
more wisely for the defense Of the
men and women under his care, but
the siege had only begun when he was
MORALLY wounded. He called his Sue
cessor and his associates to him, and
at last having omitted no detail Of
counsel or information that might en-
able them to carry out his farseeing
plans, he reused himself to dictate his
own immortal epitaph:
Here Lies
Henry Lawrence,
Who Tried to Do His Duty.
May the Lord Have Mercy on His Soul.
And so today these lines, sublime in
their simplicity, mark his last resting
place, and you feel that not even the
great Akbar in Secundra or Napoleon
in Paris has worthier monument

ator of the Declaration of Independ- ence But for Richard Henry Lees love for his wife, his would be the name to go ringing down through all time in place of that of Thomas Jef. ferson.
 Lee was the man originally selected by the delegates to introduce in con- gress a resolution declaring the colo nies free and independent He did this on June ', 1776 Congress, after much deliberation. agreed to the ap- continent of committee of five to draft a Declaration of Independence. and Lee, victor in the fight that had ragged against his resolution, was to have been made chairman. AS such. and qualified in every way, he would have been the one selected to draft the document. In fact. this arrange ment had been made and settled-and then, on the night of June 10, on the eve of the triumph of his career, Lee received word that his wife lay seE- ously i'll at home and begged for him to come to her side.
 Had Lee been a less devoted hus- band, he might have wavered On one hand were the highest political hon ors. honors that he long had been striving for; on the other a loving wife. Lee did not hesitate
 Many other men may be able to take my place in drafting my coun- try's Declaration of Independence" he said, but no one else in the world can take my place at the side of my sick wife"
 He mounted a horse at once, and turned his back on Philadelphia and one of the most significant crises in the worlds history. He went straight to where his wife lay waiting for him and back in Philadelphia Thomas Jet ferson was appointed chairman of the committee, and the rest is history.

too, at the head of the creek. At a given signal the blanks of the bridge were taken up, and Howe arrived to find himself upon an island.
 He ragged furiously and moved toward the head of the creek, there to be abruptly checked again. The Amer jeans opened fire upon his troops at the causeway They were sheltered by the tide-mill, and from this point they poured forth their heavy rife fire upon the British. Nowhere could the enemy force way past the de termined patriots.
 Howe retreated and the day was won. So enraged was the British gen eral that he summoned his guides be fore a board of officers and charged them with having deceived him, for he believed that they had landed him upon an island. How dared they? he demanded striking the table a re sounding blow with his sword Al though the situation was explained to him, he still ragged, and he vowed he would hang every man of them unless they conducted him safely from the trap he was in. At last the British retreat carried the forces on Co Pell 8 Point.

strange wailings of that British ghost were said to be audible after dusk.
 Walking west from the village square a short distance one comes to old St. Peter's church, the fourth house of worship erected on this site. In it's yard are headstones dating back as far as 1713. Upon the tomb stone of Philip Honeywell, who was active during the Revolution, this in scription was placed:
 Look on this stone and you will find
 My journeys OCT. and yours behind,
 Think, then, before you turn away,
 That yours may end before this day.
 This was one of the early churches upon which Queen Anne bestowed gifts. In her day it's chime of bells was given it. The old bells have since been melted and made into a new one, which rings Sabbath-day pilgrims to service as of old.
 Across the street stands the parish house. This building, says Doctor Ciendenin, the rector. was the one used for two weeks as the colonial capital of the state of New York when an epidemic of fever prompted sud den move.
 A few blocks farther west is the picturesque rectory, standing quite alone on green knoll. It's surround ing land was part of the ancient glebe" given by the town in 1703. Records state that it was found nec- essary to lay out parsonage lands, and 20 acres was made up by taking four acres where Edward Golfers old lott was, the eight-acre division of land in the old lott fronting to the sheep pasture. and so on.
 From 1883 to 1759 Westchester was the shire town. The village was set tied in l642 by Throckmorton Cfor whom Throg's Neck was named). who arrived from Massachusetts with group driven thence along with Roger Williams. They procured permission to make their homes at Westchester, settling 30 families there. The Dutch had called the spot Vredeland, mean ing Land of Peace. and perhaps the name had something to do with at- tracting these weary worshipers,
 Today the spot is One to which the hearts of all true Americans turn in reverent love.

Impression of Newly Found Patrioti
 Towel of Probable Great Age.

designed to be sold to the patriotic settlers of the American wilds, pos sibly by rowing peddlers. It is her opinion that this particular towel may have formed a part of a set. possibly consisting of tablecloth. napkins, and other towels, and that it alone, by strange chance, has survived the gen erations. It came to her through an elderly woman of German extraction, who received 1t from her parents. It had been in her family as long as she can remember, and no particular value was attached to it, for 1t was in con- stant daily use.
 The designing of the towel is most elaborate, and despite It's great age, the various clements of the scheme stand out plainly and distinctly. The lettering alone Is somewhat faint in some lights, but with care in handling can be clearly deciphered as the light falls at the proper angles The ele- ments in the design are American eagles. shields of the nation and other devices of patriotic nature cunningly woven together The length of the towel is 33 inches, and it's breadth 19 inches.
 The inscription follows;
 The Independence of the United States of America Declared July 4. Washington Elected President of the Federal Union March, 17S9- E Furious Unum."
