mmMwmM CANNING AND PRESERVING. the American Housekeeper's Popular Methods of Preserving Fruit. Canning appears a most simple process. Nevertheless to be successfully done cer tain points must bo observed, and these are stated with unusual clearness as follows in a little manual on "Canning and Pre serving" issued by the Rural Publishing company: "The utensils necessary for canning and preserving are a porcelain kettle, a wood en spoon and a can filler, all of which should be kept exclusively for this purpose. The kettle should be large and never filled more than one-third full of fruit. This al lows of more rapid evaporation and causes the fruit to retain its color and flavor, "Be sure that every can used is airtight. Test by filling the jar with water and seal ing as for fruit. Turn the top of the can downward and shake vigorously. If the slightest moisture escapes, reject the can. Experience has shown that at least one out of every dozen of new cans will prove defec tive. Thus, if the jars were used without testing, all other conditions being perfect, one among every dozen jars of fruit would spoil. It is economy to buy new rubbers for the jars each year; the cost is but tri fling. "Many people have the idea that; fruit in the first stages of decay is as good for pre serving as that) in perfect condition. This is a mistake. Sound, firm fruit should be used for all preserves. "If small fruits must be washed, dip them, a few at a time, into cold water and quickly place in a colander to drain. Never pour water over the fruit in a colander, as this will not free it from grit. Fruit loses its freshness and shrinks rapidly if kept in a warm room long before using. For par ing fruit use a silver or Bilver plated knife steel discolors and gives a disagreeable taste to all kinds of fruits. After mring place gently in a dish of fresh water to keep the air from discoloring it until ready for use. "Before filling the jars with fruit rinse them carefully in hot water and place them in vessels containing water which will keep them hot until ready for fillpg. This will prevent the jars from cracking when filled ' with boiling fruit, for all fruit must be boil ing hot when canned. "FIJI each jar to overflowing to exclude air and prevent fermentation; seal instant ly. Then let the jar stand upside down until cold. If airtight, no moisture will escape; if not, the fruit may be reheated and put into another jar. Before placing in the dark fruit closet—and all preserves and canned fruits should be kept in a cool, dark place—see that each jar is firmly sealed. Af tef they are placed in the preserve closet move the jars as little as possible. In stor ing away canned fruits place those of the same kind together and fasten dated label on each jar. This will save much time and trouble in handling afterward." The New Ribbon Work. One of the latest and most fascinating things in decorative work is ribbon plait ing, which can be adapted to many pur poses, such as the making up of sacheis of all kinds, cardcases, picture frames, book covers, etc. The work recalls the paper plaiting of kindergarten teaching.

pie form of it is here illustrated. Baby rib bon of two light colors should fceuised, such as pale pink and heliotrope, green or blue. The easiest way of managing the work is explained as follows by The Decorator and Furnisher, to which our cut is due; Take a drawing board and arrange upon It a number of pieces of x-ibbon, all of one color and the length required for thy work, with about two inches over, Sot these bands side by side longitudinally and hold them down to the board at each end with a drawing pin, tin tack or ordinary pin. Now begin the weaving, drawing the sec ond Bet horizontally over and under the front set of ribbons, taking the bands over certain hues /and under others, according to the requirements of the pattern. If possible, the wrong side of the ribbons should set uppermost while the work is be ing executed, the right side resting against the board. As each band of ribbon is threaded it should be pushed up so that it rests evenly by the side of that which was laid last, and should be held down at each J^d with a pin. When all are placed, they must be se cured in one of two ways, the former being the best when the plaiting is to be laid up on a second material and held dov^n by em broidery etitcb.es. The first plan is to take a brush and a very little paste—it is scarce ly possible to get too little —and spreaq, this over the ribbon. Then lay a piece of tissue paper over the work inside the row of pins, which are removed when this is dry, and the plaiting is thereby released from the board. The second way of managing the finishing off is to take some strips of gummed paper and to stick them ail around the edges of the work only. To Remove Ink From Polished Wood. If the stain is on mahogany or old pol ished wood, mix a few drops of niter in half an eggcupful of water and use a feath er to apply this mixture to the ink, Aa Boon as it disappears rub it quickly with a cloth wrung out in cold water, and then polish with an old silk rag sprinkled with sweet oil or the customary furniture cream in use in the household. If this process la not carried out in full and immediate?? after the application of the niter and water, there will be a white mark in placa of llm Ink. cot .\p~moSby"i"~ OHEAP MONfiiY CHEAP MONEY IN SUMS JF €100 *> £10,000, ON COUNTRY, CITY, AND j SUBURBAN FREEHOLD, Ab'exceptionally low rates of interest.

SPRING CLEANING. The Time When Every Man's House Is Not ) His Castle —Need It Bo Thus? A famous lawyer said that "a man's house is his castlo," but if there is one fcipje more than anothor when a man feela he is not monarch of all he surveys surely it is during that annual upheaval which reours with such relentless regularity—tho spring cleaning! But is there any reason Why spring cleaning should be tho terrible bane that it is? It is because this enemy is such a very ancient one that it does not enter into one's calculations to fight it. We have been trained from our youth up to look upon tho yearly spring cleaning as a nec essary evil. The mistake underlying the whole system, as a rule, is the endeavor to do tod many things at once. Why should there be this tremendous upheaval of home lite? Is there any logical reason why aU the rooms in the house should present the same ghostlike appearance together? One room at a time is surely the better plan. Of course, according to the size of the house and domestic staff, this rule must be varied to a couple or even three rooms at a time. Tho objection to this plan will doubtless be the length of time occupied befpre tho whole is complete, but it would be found that the difference in the long run would not be so very great, while thd amount of comfort gained would most out weigh the few extra days. I It is at this time oi year also that the methodical housekeeper takes a good look round her establishment to ascertain what articles of furniture require replacing, which rooms need new carpets, which car pets must be remade for smaller rooms, etc. Now here is an excellent opportunity for a woman to exercise he* originality, po not replace; alter. The Variety gained by rearrangement is not only restful to the eye, but greatly enhances the value of cer tain articlos. The new things required will bo different from those to be replaced, as you will have in all probability left a fresh nook vacant that is capable of total ly different treatment. ' Is a new couch needed? Have a cozy corner instead. Does tho study require a fresh overmantel? Try instead an arrange ment of bookshelves surmounted with china to about half the height above tho mantelshelf, with pictures above. If a bedroom, formerly covered with carpet, needs a new one, have the boards var nished and strew the floor with rugs or the dressed skins of animals. English Wedding Cake. The season of weddings being with us, a recipe for genuine English wedding cake is not amiss: One pound each of fresh but ter, powdered sugar, ground almonds and flour, 1£ pounds of mixed candied peel, 8 pounds of currants, three-quarters of an ounce of mixed ground spice, 6 or 1 egga and a glass of rum or brandy. Work the butter to a cream. Then mix with it the sugar and the spico, stirring it well together. Break the eggs and mix them one or two at a time into the ingre dients, beating them well together as joxi add each. Then mix in the currants—well washed and dried—and the peel cut into fine shreds, next tho almonds, beating the whole well together, and lastly work in the flour and pour in tho spirit. Have ready a cake hoop well lined with butter ed paper and bake in a hot oven. The great secret is to work each ingredient in thoroughly and separately. When the cake is quite cold, cover it an inch or more thick with the following: Mix 1 pound 4 ounces of ground almonds with not quite 2 pounds of the finest icing sugar, the raw whites of 7 or 8 eggs and a teaspoonful of essence of vanilla. Work it into a stiff, dry paste and use. The next day cover this again with a thick layer of royal icing mado by working together for 13 to 15 minutes the whites of three large or four small eggs, with a teaspoonful of lemon juice, and 1 potmd 4 ounces of icing sug ar. When this is a smooth thick pasto, put it on to the cake "with a broad knife, dipping this into cold water as you work. Let this icing stand for a day and then ornament with piping, fruit, flowers, eta Popular Bags For Shopping, Etc, The favorite shape for workbags, opera bags, etc., is the sack. They are mado in satin or brocado, with a deep heading drawn with ribbon strings, and their great beauty is tho variety and brightness ot color, the lining being generally in con- A POMPADOtm BAG. trast.

Fashion has given its sanction to the use of tho single bed, and large number! of the so called "twin bedsteads'' are JlOytr !n the market, many of them made of cosi y woods rich with carving* They &ro e'o designed that; when placed side by side thd effect is that of 0116 wide bedstead, Where as a soparato spring mattress and bed cloth ing are provided for each one. The Decorator and Furnisher also notoa that two iron bedsteads painted white bach 8 feet wids— placed aide by lide, look well if dressed with a spread of" pretty, light oolored chintz and a round bolstet covered to match. This is the neatest and most tasteful way of arranging a bed in the daytime and seems to be coming into very general use.
