Jams and Jellies.

This Is the time of year when those
who are fond OF strawberry jam, cur
rant jelly and the conserves and mar
malades that are made from rhubarb
get out their Jelly jars and devote some
time to the making of few glasses
of these delectable sweets. There are
many excellent commercial jams and
marmalades to be had. but to some
people those that are made at home
seem to have particularly delicious
flavor.
Strawberries perhaps make the great
est appeal In the form Of strawberry
jam or preserve. Strawberry jelly Is
a rare deiicacy and can only be made
when pectin is supplied by some other
fruit, as the Strawberries themselves are
so lacking In this element that IL Is
impossible 10 make firm jelly from
them alone.
For good strawberry jam, wash.
hull and pick over two quarts OF me-
dunn ripe strawberries. Cut them in
half or crush them slightly. measure
and add an equal amount of sugar.
Cover and let stand over night In the
morning heat slowly to the boiling
point. stirring occasionally. and boil 20
minutes. stirring frequently. Pour into
sterili2ed Jelly glasses and cover with
melted paraffin
When Strawberries are expensive,
equal parts of the berries and sliced
rhubarb may be used. The berries will
give their flavor to the entire lot of
jam. The finished product will not be
quite so clear as a plain strawberry
lam. but will be delicious In flavor.
For strawberry Jelly mash one quart
OF ripe Strawberries. Then squeeze
through cheese cloth TO extract all of
the juice Measure the Juice and add

Mr. Wrinkle was always remarkable

To Forgive Quickly Not Divine.
ny FANNY Y. CORY.

! The beauty of the word forgiveness
Is unQuestionable. That little word
erases bitterness and inharmony with
its touch of magic.
But to forgive quickly and contin-
| ually-ah, that's another matter That
sort Of forgiveness may keep alive a
difficult situation-may steadily add to
the troubles of the little lady whose
heart Is too generous to refuse for
giveneSs.
1t would be a charming thing If we
were able TO so through the world CIV
ing our fellows the benefit of the doubt
and forgetting their sins as soon as
they'd committed them.
, But it can't be done--not If we're to
maintain our own s2lf-respect. If we're
to take a place in the world ourselves
we can't allow ourselves to be over
run and imposed ON by those around us
We've got TO take a firm stand some
where.
Any little girl in the world can tell
you of the annoyance and inconvenience
of waiting for her swain an hour after
the appointed time.
There's positively no indoor pastime
more tiresome or more discouraging.
Yet the forgiving little girl will sit
patiently watching and waiting until
the unreliable escort turns up. Without
a word OF protest she will go to meet
him. Without sign of annoyance she
will listen to his time-worn apologies
and answer him lightly: "Oh. 1t doesn't
matter. l don't mind"
She doesn't honestly mean that she
doesn't mind. She means really that
she's so glad he finally did turn up
she hasn't time or inclination to bawl
him out
That's very pretty. That would be
very nice, indeed. if the effect on the
boy friend was such as to make him
ashamed of himself
But these little scenes of forgiveness
too quickly granted rarely work out SO
harnloniously
Even though the boy friend may be
a perfectly nice lad in other ways. he is
constitutionally lazy and unpunctual.
He makes habit OF being late, and
on the next occasion when he Is due to
appear at this particular girl friends
house. early in the evening-he doesn't
hurry, or rush or bother.
He reflected comfortably: We'll. she
never gets mad. / can just tell her ]
had to run an errand for come one in
the family. That's always good alb"
And he comfortably goes on his way,
taking his time. while the little girl wait
ing for him wastes an hour of her time
sitting about and wishing she had that
power oter men which would bring
them rushing to her feet.
That's the trouble. you see, with this
quick forgiveness business 1t sets a
precedent. 1t encourages the inpunc-
tual to continue in their wrongdoing.
It makes the inveterate teller of lies
more sure of himself.
1t insures the breaking of dates at
the last minute as safe and profitable
pastime.
Until man has become more perfect
and boys have become more reliable it
Is well to deal with them shrewdly, In
order not TO let ones self be made an
easy mark.

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

July 10, I861.--There has been fight
ing at Bulls Run, Va. Tween the
Union Army. under Gen. Mcdowell, and
the Confederates, under Gen. Beaure-
gard and the two armies are appar-
entity still In contact, according to
meager reports received here today by
the War Department and from news
paper correspondents with the Union
Army. 1t Is believed that further fight
ing Of a much more severe character
will take place within the next 48 hours.
Interest In official quarters and among
the people generally Is intense, and
every scrap of news or rlmor Is eagerly
received and digested. The latest re-
liable news from the front told of a
further advance movement OF the
Union troops Yesterday morning. with
the evident intention of renewing the
engagement of the day before. Nothing
certain has been heard since.
Newspaper correspondents who have
been able to get letters through say
that the "sccesh" troops appear to have
be, Il heavily reinforced. Up to / pm.
today the Government had received no
official communication from the other
side Of the Potomac River since Gen.
Mcdowell announced the occupation OF
Fairfax Court House.
Firing could be heard this morning
by persons at Falls Church, Va, and
some thought it came from Manassas.
The official view. however, Is that 1t
was more likely to have been at Bulls
Run--a continuation of the engagement
OF yesterday at that point
From all the thousands of rumors
brought by persons who have crossed
the river today 1t appears that when the
engagement ceased at pm. yesterday
no serious impression had been made
by the Unicn Army on the Confederate
entertainments. War Department OFF,
ciais believe that Beauregard late in
the evening and throughout the night
advanced considerable bodies of troops
to sustain those previously engaged at
Bulls Run. and 1t Is probable that a
general battle occurred there soon after
light this morning. It is believed here,
however, that the final and decisive
engagement at Bulls Run may not take
place for day or two. With such an
army as Gen. Mcdowell has War De-
partment officials feel certain that the
Confederates soon will be dislodged from
their position.
More troops are on their way to
Washington. The 9Th Maine Regiment.
commanded by COL Abner Knowles. is
due at any hour. 1t is composed of
farmers. carpenters. blacksmiths, etc.
from the eastern counties of the State.
many of whom are above 6 feet high
and OF formidable physique.

A Sermon for Today
Ninth Commandment.
BIT REV. JOHN X. GUM.

Text: Thou shalt not bear false wit
ness against thy neighbor. Exodus
xxl6.
This commandment is a law which
God has thrown around every man for
the protection Of his good name and
reputation.
Every man Is entitled to the protec-
ton this law affords him, for his good
name and reputation are 10 him a
priceless possession and should be held
inviolable.
The transgressions of this command
nent are varied in FORM There are
many ways in which false witness Is
borne-by a false testimony in a court
OF justice, by slander, by tale bearing
by a hint or suggestion which gives a
false impression by holding back the
truth, by perverting the truth
or by misrepresentation Of any
sort. When by any word or act we mis-
represent another, we bear false Wit
ness.
In plain English, We lie. Every form
OF slander or misrepresentation Is lie.
In Siam they sew up the mouth OF the
confirmed liar. II this custom we're fol-
lowed everywhere there would be a good
many people with sewed-up mouths.
The Bible Is never more severe than
when pronouncing condemnation upon
liars. Lying lips are an abomination
TO the Lord" Whose privily slandereth
his neighbor, him will cut off" "All
liars shall have their part In the lake
which burneth with fire and birthstone. /"
II you have violated this command
ment there are three things for YOU to
ond, seek the forgiveness Of those YOU
have wronged Third. do what you can
to right the wrong you have done. Only
thus can you escape the guilt and con-
demnation resting upon you. Having
done these three things, pray that YOU
may not again be guilty of this sin
against your neighbor.
