 The general directions for making pickles may be condensed in a few sentences.
 Always use the best vinegar. Never use brass, copper, or tin yes sells.
 Wash pickles thoroughly, sort ac- cording to size.
 DO not boil vinegar more than 10 minutes--longer destroys it's strength. little alum improves cucumber pickles--too much is harmful. Keep pickles covered with vinegar and store in stone or glass jars. In making brine use cupfuls salt to each quart of water.
 Soak cucumbers over night to make them firm.
 Here are good pickle recipes:
 Plain Cucumber Pickles. 1 gallon vinegar.
 1 cupful salt.
 quarts small cucumbers. 1 cupful sugar.
 1 cupful mustard.
 To make, mix the salt, sugar and mustard together, then add vinegar, very slowly, stirring and mixing we'll. Wash and pick over cucumbers and pack them in a stone jar. Pour the brine over the p1cKleS ana Welght down with an old plate and a scrub bed stone, CT other weight. Cover whole jar with a clean cloth and let pickles stand at least 1 week before using.

 1 dozen ears corn.
 1 red pepper.
 1 cupfuI sugar.

 1 head cabbage.
 F gallon vinegar.
 2 tablespoonsful tumeric. tablespoonful mustard Chop the cabbage, cover with salt, and let stand to drain. Chop the pep per, cut the corn off the cob. and mix with the cabbage.

Uncle Wiggily was going to Mrs.

SO on the way home with a new neck
tie he began waltzing around. one.

the pony gallop and the duck squiggle.
Tor he knew he would want to dance
with Lulu and Alice Wibblewobble.
TO say nothing of their mother.

ing half his pink nose and scrambling
the other half.
Not half bad" said the bunny.
l agree with you" suddenly cried
the Pipsisewah, with a mean laugh
I've been watching you do that
funny dance. Now you come along
with me. The Skeezicks would like
to see it. I'm sure" and he grabbed
Uncle Wiggily by the ears, and drag
sed the bunny of through the woods

Oh but I have to have music TO

OF you will make some music"

paper over the comb. and play music
on that" So the Pipsisewah got a big
comb. and put a piece of thin paper
over 1t. Then he held the comb to
his lips and began to toot.
Dance" he cried to Uncle Wiggily,
and the bunny started TO dance as the
Pipsisewah played on the comb, whsG,
all of a sudden the big bad chap gave
a howl and started to laugh so hard
that tears came into his eyes.
What's the matter" asked she
Skee.
''Oh. playing the comb tickles my
lips so queerly that I have to laugh"
cried the Pip. Il can't play It. You
try"
So the Skeezicks tried, but playing
comb music so tickled his lips. too,
that he laughed until he cried. The
Pip laughed. too. and the eyes OF the
two bad char ps were so full OF laugh
ing tears. from being tickled by the
comb. that they couldn't see Uncle
Wiggily at all. And the bunny ran
out. while they were laughing them
selves into Mysteries, and soon Mr..
Longears was safely home with his
new necktie.
Then he went to the party with
Nurse Jane and did his funny dance,
and every one liked II. And the Pip
and Skee may be laughing yet, for

The elimination of dramas that are

The King of Italy comes under a

However, It is not alone in happy
Africa that men and women speak
different languages. There are words

meaning and women another, and the
two are rarely interchangeable, and
from this fact a great deal OF the
misunderstanding between the sexes
arises.
For instance, men and women do

quently been reproduced on the stage;
during the war he has taken a hand
in propaganda largely intended for
America. and was editor of King
Albert's Book and Queen Alexandra's
Christmas Carol" His best-known
stories have attained an enormous
circulation in print and reached great
audiences on the stage. The Deem

man. The Christian" The Eternal
City" The Woman Thou Gavest
Me-" are among the best known in
lost list, which have passed from the
printed page to the stage, and finally,
in some cases, to the films.
1t will be interesting to see how his
books last. A certain force he un-
doubtedly has, and he knows extreme
ly well how to choose a subject with
an appeal to a large audience; he has,
however, a considerable crudity in
thought and expression. and his emo
tional passages sometimes have the
air OF being created to order.
No English-speaking author has
ever been so extensively advertised
as Hall Caine. He must wait gen.
Grafton or so to see whether in the

made atonement for his sin.
And now. word went abroad that
the strange priest, proven to be

to succeed his late uncle as Deem

This message read by Mona, filled
her with hope and a belief that
Dan should at last come to his

fisherboy, she journeyed to seek
him out, only to find him uncon-

cabin, where he had fallen a victim
to the disease sne had so bravely

Mona watched beside him until IN
