wife turns to canned goods as the
only alternative.
Preparation of Vegetables.
The flrst step in successful canning
Is the selection and preparation OF the
vegetables. Never attempt to can any
vegetables that has matured and COM
menced to harden or one that has be-
gun to decay. AS a general rule, young
vegetables are superior in flavor and
texture to the more mature ones. This
Is especially true Of string beans. okra,
ana asparagus. Vegetables are better
y gathered In the early morning while
the dew Is still on them. II 1t is Inn
possible to can them Immediately, do not
allow them to wither. but put them in
cold water or in a cold. damp place and
keep them crisp until you are ready for
the m. Do your canning In a well-swept
and well-dusted room. This will tend
to reduce the number Of spores floating
about and lessen the chances Of inocu-
lation.
Beets.
Although beets will keep in the cellar
over winter. It Is very desirable to can
them while they are young and tender,
as the mature beet is apt to be stringy
and lacking in flavor. Wash the young
beets. out off the tops. and put them in
boiling water for about an hour and a
half, or until they are thoroughly
cooked Take off the skins. cut In thin
slices. and pack into the Jars. Cover
with water and sterilize in the manner
previously described. If a mild pickle
is desired. make a mixture of equal
parts of water and good vinegar,
sweeten to taste. and cover the beets
with this mixture instead OF water.
Summer Squash.
Cut the vegetables into small blocks

Add a teaspoon of salt to each quart

I, who have lost the stars. the sod,
For chilling pave and cheerless light.

A new and neither Night
Have found a fame where thunder fills
Loud caverns, tremulous;-and these
Atone me for my reverend hills
And moonlit s,lences.
A Pigment In the crowded dark,
Where men sit muted by the roar.
I ride upon the whirring Spark
Beneath the city's floor.
In this dim armament. the stars

Kin meteors Craze our flying bars,
Amid the spinning spheres.
Speed speed! until the quiverins rails
Flash silver where the headlight

As when on lakes the Moon impales
The waves upon its beams.
Life throbs about me, yet I stand
Outgazing on majestic Power;
Death rides with me. on either hand.

My only respite of the Day

BY THE CHAPERON.

"ODAY we have the concluding
saivo OF shots in this broding-
raglan butterfly battle. It's all
very well, you know. to start out
innocently into a discussion Of feminine
and masculine fraity but when that
discussion develops into a symposium
for those who regard their fellowmen
with aversion. we think II time to stop.
The Chaperon agrees that there are a
number Of girls who will be frivolous all
their days, but these probably are coun-
terbalanced by the men who will remain
shiftless to the end. Let's not pay so
much attention to these people. when
people 60 about determined to like
everybody, there's no use to try to
show them the pessimistic side Of life.

souls to whom life is a burden better

azine Page. II we can't make people
happy we decline to exist.
All this is quite a depression from the
promised conclusion to our now famous
butterfly war. During the week the
Chaperon asked that correspondents
confine themselves to the original topic
propounded by II. r. so long ago.
Just . Few Opinions.
From the numbers Of letters that have
been received on the butterfly question,
we clip a few opinions-and here they
are.
Just a Girl writes:

efficient In any particular line OF
Homework, or anything of the kind,
men seem to avoid her. and look to
the frivolous maid who has MOTH

A frank. honest. conscientious girl
who Is always lovable and lovely

but she Is too busy trying to scheme
up things to make men think her

neighbor on the veranda OF the
bummer hotel where my friends were
staying and where 1. their guest. per-

back to listen to that infant "recite.'
Nobody wanted to hear her. everybody
