curinu Spice.

In the Spice islands the cloves are
sometimes cured by being smoked
over a wood fire until they assume a
deep brown color, when the further
drying is accomplished by the sun.
Occasionally the buds are scalded be-
fore being dried. If bright sunny days
prevail artificial heat may be dispensed
with and the buds sun-dried from first
to last. The crop loses about 60 per
cent in drying.

No longer did Hannah Dustin feel the wear1ness of the march nor la ment the desolatton of her home. Filled with blind fury she kept on her fatal task until she had killed, every one of the Indians. Suddenly she was frightened by the vision of a squaw rising in terror, but when she struck at her the woman fled screaming into the forest. However when small Indian boy Jumped up she simply bade him run, for not even the desire for her own escape could permit her to hurt a child.
 When her savage enemies lay dead around her Hannah Dustin started off on her weary journey backward. But suddenly she reflected that if she were to tell her people of how she had fought her way to escape she would not be believed. Mrs. Dustin was thorough. She went back, scalp- ed the slain, and carried with her the gory trophies of her victory.
 It took weeks of wanderings over strange ground before she finany found her way back to the settle ment. She was received joyously by her people, who had given her up as lost, and when she told her story, showing the undeniable proof of its truth, the General Court of Massa- chusetts gave her an award for her bravery.

USE OF HONEY,

For those who are interested in producing more honey and thus say ing sugar, the Bulletin No. 653 put out by the agricultural department Washington, will be found most help ful. The following are some of the receipts recommended, slightly chang ed:
 Honey Bran Coolzies-Take a half cupful of honey, the same amount of sugar, fourth of teaspoonful of cinnamon, the same of ginger, three cupfuls of bran. a half teaspoonfuI of soda, half a cupfuI of milk, half a cupful of fat, and half a cupful of barley flour. Drop on buttered sheet and bake l 5 minutes.
 Honey Popcorn Balls-Heat honey to 24O degrees Fahrenheit with a candy thermometer. This despels the water and it will be. hard when cool. Honey, however, absorbs moisture when left uncovered, so the balls should be kept closely covered or re- heated before using.
 Honey Caramels-Take two cupfuls of granulated sugar, half cupful cream, fourth of cupful of honey, a fourth of a cupfuI of butter. Beat then cook without stirring until a firm ball is made when a little is dropped into cold water Beat until thick, turn out into buttered pans and cut in square. Pecans or other nuts may be added.
 Salad Dressing - Take four egg yolks, two tablespoonfuls of vinegar or lemon juice, two tablespoonfuls ot butter and two tablespoonfuls of honey, a fourth of teaspoonfuI ot mustard, a teaspoonful of salt and a few dashes of paprik with cupfuI o1 cream. Heat the cream. Add the beaten eggs to the other ingredients and cook carefully until thick, ther add cream and set away to cool When serving, add whipped cream. Sliced oranges and bananas, sweet. ened with strained honey make a de. licious dessert or fruit salad tt serve with small cakes as a finish tc | the meal.
