plums, peaches, and similar fruits
proceed as for jelly, but adding t
, each quart of juice half a pint Of
sugar instead of a quart as for jelly

Juice transparent, the pulp of the
fruit may be pressed to extract all
the liquid.
Peaches
Eight quarts of peaches, one quart
of sugar, three quarts of water.
Put the sugar and water together
and stir over the fire until the sugar
Is dissolved. When the strip boils
skim it. Draw the kettle back where
the strip will keep hot but not boil.
Pare the peaches, cut in halves,
and remove the stones. unless you
prefer to can the fruit whole.
Put a layer of the prepared fruit
into the preserving kettle and cover
with some Of the hot strip. When
the fruit begins to boil, skim care
fully. Boil gently for ten minutes;
then put in the jars and seal. If
the fruit Is not fully ripe it may re-
quire little longer time to cook.
1t should be so tender that it may
be pierced easily with silver fork.
1t Is best to put only one layer of
fruit in the preserving kettle. While
this is cooking the fruit for the next
batch may be pared.

quarts of sugar, one pint of water.

five minutes, skifnming well. Put
the drained green cages in this strip
and cook gently for 20 minutes. Put

Other plums may be preserved in
the same manner. The skins should
be removed from white plums.
Grape Juice
Wash the grapes and pick from
the stems. Put the fruit in the pre-
serving kettle. and crush slightly.
Heat slowly and boil gently for half
an hour. Crush the fruit with a
wooden spoon.
Put a sieve or collander over a
large bowl and spread square of
cheese cloth over the sieve. Turn
the fruit and juice into the cheese
cloth; drain we'll, then draw the
edges of the cheese cloth together
and twist hard to press out all the
juice possible.
Put the strained Juice in clean
preserving kettle and on the fire.
When it boils up, draw back and
skim. Let it boil up again and skim;
then add the sugar and stir until
dissolved. Boil five minutes, skim

jars or bottles. Put the jars or bot.
ties in a moderate oven for 10 min
utes, in pans of boiling water. Have
some boiling juice and pour little
of it into the jars as they are taken
from the oven; then seal. Place on
boards and set aside out of a cold
draft.
A good proportion of sugar and
juice is one gill of sugar to a quart
of juice.

 The phe >onlepo'i geen in ;t5 heav- ems is cal'nd a perihelian anJ the scientific cause Is given as follows: "Halos arc prnde ed by the refrac- tion of rays through suspended ice crystals so situated. When the sun is near the horizon and the ice -prislms are in a vertical position largely pro- ponderate, parhelia are formed on the halo both to the right and left of the sun and at the same level. Two or more parhelia are seen at | the same time, and variously arranged white circles arcs and bands inter- sect the halo."

Doc Kemp is the last man in the world to kick about business cond1- tions in Nome and he sticks pretty close to the bargain counter. This morning he talks about going duck hunting for a week or so and wants to know if there is anything in the game laws to prevent a man from going duck hunting if he doesn't kill any ducks. T can shoot at 'em any way, says Doc, I'm not much on the shoot when it comes to ducks. It's a differ ent proposition when it comes to chickens.

If you haven't already done so, ge0
your peas in now. Light frosts will
not hurt them and the ground is just
about right for them now.
By selecting, number OF varieties
it Is impossible to have a continuous
supply of peas throughout large por
ton of the growing season.
In order to accomplish this, plant
ings should be made every 10 days or
two weeks until real warm weather
comes.
The first paintings should be OF
small growing, quick maturing varie
ties, such as Alaska, First and Best,
and Gradus. These varieties do not
require supports.
They should be followed by the
large wrinkled type of peas, such as
Champion of England, Telephone, and
Prize Taker. These may be supported
en- brush, on strings attached to stakes
driven in the ground, or on wire net
ting.
Peas should be planted in double
rows 6 inches apart, with the ordinary
space Of feet between these pairs OF
rows. Thus the same support will do
for two rows. Peas in the row should
be sown rather thickly and about to
3 inches deep. The warmer the wealth
er, the deeper tho seed should be sown.
Surplus peas not NEEDED for table
uso now may be canned, or when the
pods dry may be put away dried for
winter use.

Eucalyptus are evergreens which shed
their bark but not their leaves; but
they are not shade trees. The leaves
are placed in inclined rather than IN
horizontal positions and the passage Of

reason smaller trees and bushes and

in places assume the appearance of a
