PRESERVES MADE

Rind Can Be Utilized for

prepared by tho United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
Watermelons seem to be especially
plentiful this year. Why not utilize
some Of the rinds to make delicious
preserves? suggests the United States
Department Of Agriculture. Cut the
red portion, from the rind. This can
be chilled and served in slices or
blocks. When ready to make the pre-
serves remove the. green outer skin
and cut the white part into pieces Of
the desired size. First soak the pieces
for 3k hours in lime water, to make
them firm. The lime water Is made
by diSsolving one-ffth ounce Of lime in
ore quart of water. for each pound of
watermelon rind The lime should be
bought at a drug store and should be
accurately weighed, as too much or
too little will not give the desired re-
suits.
At the end Of 31a hours put the rind
into fresh water for an hour. Next
boil 1t in clear water for IA hours.
Make sirup in the proportion Of one
pound Of sugar and two quarts Of wa
ter and drop the rind into 1t after 1t
has reached the boiling point. Add
half lemon. sliced. for flavoring, and
spices or ginger root II you like. These
will tend to darken the color Of the
preserves. but for many tastes will
improve the flavor. Boil for I hour
and 40 minutes. It may be necessary
to add more water to the sirup while
boiling to prevent It from burning. or

They continued to talk for over an
hour, referring to the murder and
robbery repeatedly, and furnishing evi-
dence enough to establish beyond any
question the guilt Of both Schwartz
and Watt.
Meantime Watt had been arrested
IN Chicago, also charged with murder,
and in several examinations had shown
signs of breaking down and confessing,

himself and said nothing. The evil

Scruples Of one juryman, who did not

Schwartz used the poker. Schwartz
had given Watt five thousand dollars
of the stolen money, and had kept the
rest himself. He had carried the
money away in an old satchel bought
for the purpose. A most unusual
place of concealment had been chosen,
and one where the money had escaped

more than assist Watt. whom Mr.. Pin
kerton professed to regard as the chief
criminal. The only hope Of saving her
husband now, he impressed upon her,
was for her TO make plain statement
of the truth, and trust that he would
use this in her husbands interest.
After listening to all that he said.
and trying in many ways to evade the
main question. Mrs. Schwartz at last
admitted to Mr.. Pinkerton that her
husband had found a package con-
tanning five thousand dollars Of the stol-
en- money under one Of the seats on
night of his return to Chicago. He
had kept this money and used 1t for
his own purposes, but had been guilty
of no other offense in the matter. Mrs.
Schwartz stuck resolutely to this state.
ment, and would admit nothing
further.
Believing that he had drawn from
her as much as he could, Mr. Pinker
ton now accompanied Mrs. Schwartz
to the Jail, where she was to see her
husband. The first words she said,
on entering the room where he was,
were: Harry, 1 have told Mr.. Pin
kerton the whole truth. l thought
that was the best way, for he is your
friend. l told him about your finding
the five thousand dollars under the
seat Of the car, and that was all you
had to do with the business"
For the first time Schwartz's emo
tions nearly betrayed him. However,
he braced himself, and only admitted
in a general way that there was some
truth in what his wife had said. He
refused positively to go into details,
seemed very nervous, and almost i'm
mediately asked to be left alone with
his wife. Mr.. Pinkerton had been ex-
pecting this, and was prepared for 1t.
He realized the shock that would be
caused in Schwartz's mind by his
wifes unexpected confession. and
counted on this to lead to further
admissions. 1t was, therefore. of the
highest Importance that credible wit
nesses should Overhear all that tran
spired in the interview between
Schwartz and his wife. With this end
In view, the room where the interview
was to take place had been arranged

As soon as the door had closed and

Editor Of The Congregationalist.
The word tabernacle has deep
spiritual significance in the English
language. 1t is place of meeting.
Meeting, the assemblage OF people
together, is intimately associated
not only, with the most sacred
things of religion but with the sa-
cred things OF government and civil
liberty. The tendency Of people to
forsake and disregard public assem-
blage either in worship or in the ex-
preston of citizenship is one Of the
lamentable aspects of modern life.
The temptation today toward
paths and pleasures that are large
ly or purely individual, that involve
no expression of a common life Of
worship and devotion or Of political
idealisrn, has become emphasized in
pleasure-loving environment with
SO many means and opportunities Of
pandering to selfish instinct. Sc
rious-minded men and women ought
and give more careful consideration
to this matter.
There was a time when the
church represented not only a cen
ter of worship but a center of the
social life of the community, where
people came from their daily toll
to find common life on Sunday.
Instead of allowing this common
| life and its expression to be eclipsed,
we ought to be strengthening and

up this people: and Thou has not let
me know whom Thou wilt send with
me. Yet Thou has said, know thee
by name, and Thou hast also found
favor in my sight. Now therefore,
l pray Thee, if 1 have found favor
in Thy sight, show me now Thy
ways, that 1 may know Thee, to the
end that I may find favor in Thy
sight: and consider that this nation
is Thy people"
Symbol of Devotion
Here in this prayer we have ex-
pressed the profound fact con-
corning a great and true national
life. Moses thought of the nation as
constituting the people Of God. Is
that nation ever safe or ever well
led that is not imbued with some
sense Of its own holiness? One
thinks. in connection with this state
ment Of Moses, of the fine descrip-
ton OF the Christian community in
I Peter 2 and 8.
The response to the prayer of
Moses is similarly beautiful. Just
how the voice of the divine came to
him we do not know, but it came at
least with great reality. MY pres
ence shall go with thee. and I will
give thee rest
A proper study Of this lesson
would reveal the principles of true
leadership and of social progress.
After all the world changes more
in outward form and in the details
Of its problems than IN the essen
tiai factors and principles involved.
