ioyed is putting it mildly. To them
Il seemed a direct gift from Provi-
dence.
The child. upon the suggestion of
the physician, was taken imm ediately
to Mrs. Prescott, who welcomed il
with open arms. For the first time
since her illness she seemed to be
perfectly rational The little baby
hands cropping about her breast have
done something that the greatest
surgeons and physicians in the coun-
try could not do. They have brought
her back to sanity and a perfectly
normal outlook upon life. In a mo-
ment she had forgotten everything
except that she held a tiny morsel
of humanity within her arms.
Mr.. and Mrs. Prescott Immediately
took steps to adopt the child. upon
whose clothing there was nothing
that could possibly suggest its par
entage, except the fineness and deli
cacy of the material and the loving
care expended upon the emhroideries
which besutified the dainty fabrics
OF course it is easy to see that
some poor mother from untoward
circumstance was unable TO care
for her child. And hearing OF Mrs
Prescott's sad condition and know
ing that she was fully able to care
for her baby, giving it the greatest
comforts and Injuries. she placed it
before the Prescotts' door
This episode, naturally haF made
great stir in society. where the Pres
SCOTS are most popular. etIt neither
of them would allow any inv estiga-
ton which would lead to the idantif-
cation of the baby.
Whoever placed that baby here"
said Mr. Prescott to the reporter,
evidently gave it to us as freely as
We accepted it, and she did not want
to be known. We will respect her
wishes"
The physicians who have been BAT
led by Mrs. Prescott's case are ex-
pectine very quick recovery, for

Extract From the Morning Argus.
The friends of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Alden Prescott have been much con-
cerned for many weeks over Mrs.
Prescott's health.
Ever since her accident on the old
Post Road, Mrs. Prescott has seemed
to grow weaker and weaker, both in
body and mind. She seemed to think
of nothing but the child she
lost at that time, and it was an open
secret among her friends that unless
something, either a great shock or
a great happiness, would change the
current of her thoughts, her mind, If
not her life, would be in great dan
ger.
After innumera bio consultations
with the greatest physicians in the
country it was decided that the only
thing that would do her any good
would be the adoption of a baby. Be
fore this decision was carried into
effect. however, Mrs. Joseph Hamil =
ton, the mother of Mrs. Prescott,
opened the door of her apartment
last evening-to find the traditional
baby in the traditional basket. It
had not been placed upon the door
step, because the traditional young
people nowadays live in an apartment
instead of a house. But there IT was

fashion except that the sprig was re-
moved from the glass before the
jelly hardened.
Grape Jelly
Grape jelly should be made before
the grapes ripen.
Strip grapes from stems and wash.
Put in preserving kettle with a very
little water. just enough to prevent
burning. Bring to the boiling point
and boil rapidly. until the skins burst
open. Put in Jelly bag and let over
night. If grapes are cooked early
in the morning five or six hours will
extract the juice, and jelly can be
made the same day.
Do not squeeze the Jelly bag as this
makes the juice cloudy and the jelly
will not be clear. Measure juice and
return to the fire. Bring quickly to
the boiling point and boil ten minutes.
Add as many cups of sugar as there
were cups of juice. Boil rapidly
until juice "jells" when tried on a
cold plate.
Blackberry and Apple Jelly
Use equal parts of apple and black
berry juice. Add the juice of one
lemon to four cups of the combined
juices. Boil ten minutes, add 3 cups
warm sugar and boil until strip jells
when tried on cold plate.
Many fruits that will not "jell" by
themselves can be combined with ap-
pie juice. This makes a firm jelly
with the other fruit flavor pre-
dominating .

JELLY MAKING

Be sure that the sugar you use for
canning, preserving and jelly making
is pure cane sugar. Beet sugar will
not make good jelly.
Clear sparkling jelly is the result of
quick work in boiling the fruit juice
and great care in extracting the
juice. The first jul ,e which comes
through the jelly bag will make the
ciearest jelly.
1t is better not to try to make too
much Jelly at one time. The wider
the kettle the better because quick
evaporation means light colored
Jelly. Heat the sugar before adding
it to the juice. This does not cool
the Juice or retard boiling as much as
if cold sugar were used The sugar
is heated in the oven after measur-
ing.
Apple Jelly
Astrakan apples can be used for
jelly if practically ripe. The jelly will
not be as light colored. Other sarie-
ties are used for jelly when quite
green. g.
Wash and quarter apples. Remove
any bad spots and defective cores.
Put in preserving kettle with just
enough water to prevent burning.
Cook rapidly to a pulp. Put into
jelly bag and let drain over night.
Measure juice Put juice in clean
preserving kettle and boil rapidly.
Skim as much as possible and add
warmed sugar sowly. Do not let
oiling stop while adding sugar. Boil
rapidly until teaspoonful of juice
tried on cold plate forms jelly.
Pour into sterilized glasses and
cover with paraffin when cold. AS
trakan apples will 'jell' if three
fourths cup of sugar is used for every
cup of juice. Most other varieties,
less pectin, require mea-
sure for measure of sugarand juice.
Od-time jelly makers put rose
geranium leaf in the bottom part of
the Jelly glasses. The boiling strip
extracted enough of the real frag-
rance to delicately favor the jelly.

It took some time for Mr.. Bear to
recover from his diving accident. His
fall had knocked the breath out of

the shore of the lake AID after a

was faint. He told them he needed
food.

Mrs. Bear.
Mr. Bear struggled to his feet. If
they had been going to have any other

there and let the others get it. He

Nearly $37,5O0,OO0 of new money

license tags of other states made in
the recent census of state trunk high
way traffic. 1t is made up on low
estimates of necessary expenditures
by the visitors from outside attracted
here by good roads and recreatiOnal
advantages.
Automobiles from other states this

pared with 1868, last year, accord
ing to actual count at 1914 points on

this year.
To show that the figures are con-
sentative, the bulletin gives details
Counts show an average of more
