' HINTS ON FRUIT CANNING. ,!
A. Pew Thing" That tlie Hoewit
Should Bembei.
In canning fruit, remember that it im
hard and disagreeable work at beat,
and unless you can come within sight
of its highest possibilities, "the gameia
not worth the candle." Whether it is
good, bad or indifferent depends upon,
your own knowledge and skill. Exclud
ing the air to prevent fermentation is
only the A B C of success. Fruit must
look as' well as taste delicious, and, in,
order to do this, it must retain its nat
ural flavor and appearance, and be
sweetened with granulated ' sugar.
Fruit for canning must be freshly
picked, and a little under rather than
over ripe.
All berries except strawberries should
be large and firm. With these the
smallep the better. Blackberries, no
matter how fine or of what kind, are
never satisfactory and palatable.
Cherry pits add much to the flavor.
and when removed from the fruit a
handful should be tied in a piece of net
n n1 nil t. in the center of each jar. Pear
seeds should be used in the same way
if the core is removed. Cherries axe
richer and handsomer colored if the sir-
ii n is made of half currant juice.
The skins of green gage plums should
be left on and pierced with, a fork be
fore thev are cooked. The skins of all
other common varieties should be re
moved. If plums and peaches are im-
ersed in boiling water to loosen the
ins, only a few 6hould be treated at
e. and those should first be put in!
ire basket or sieve. After remain-
two minutes or so dip in cold wa
ter and erently rub off the skins.

GAY MUSIC AT A FUNERAL.
Mrs. M. 'Jp

i
Cmtom in Vincrnnci That Destroy
Mnch Tlint Is GrewNomc at Crave. I
People in Vincennes have been wit- ;
ncssing what is called "a gay funeral,"
according to a paradoxical phrase, re-
ports the London Telegraph. Mr. i
Ferret, a resident in that sub- J
urban borough for many long years, !
died recently at the age of 80. He left '
instructions in his' will that the loc-al '
.brass band should be engaged for hts
funeral, and that lively music was to
be played during the journey to the
graveyard. The octogtnarian's rela-
tives fulfilled his wishes to the letter, j
In the black-bordered invitations to the j
interment sent out by them they an- !
nounced the names of the airs to be '
heard during the funeral. As the cor- I
tege started for the cemetery, the band j
struck up the appropriate "Chant du
Depart," to the intense astonishment
of the master of ceremonies sent by the
Pompes Funebres, who knew nothing
about the last wishes of the deceased
octogenarian in the matter of music.
Then the bandsmen played a series of
'polkas and mazurkas, and wound up at
the cemetery with the "Marseillaise."
After the' funeral all adjourned to a
tavern, where drink was ordered in
abundance. The instrumentalists, hav
ing been refreshed, played more lively
music and then everybody returned
.home, apparently satisfied with, the
day's outing. This is the third funeral
of the kind which has been organized in
France within the past 12 months.

Peaches should do put in sirup

into cold water, to prevent discolora
tion. Peaches are firmer and richer if

six pits should be distributed through
each quart jar.
The most delicate and natural fla-
vor is obtained Dy cooKing lire u uiu
n the. iars. This method also does
way with the breakage from handling,
nd adds greatly to its appearance.
Pears and quinces are no exception to
this rule, but, as both are more quicK
ly cooked tender m clear water, it is
more convenient to do so before they
re put in sirup.
All old jars should be thoroughly
eansed with soda and boiling water,
d the air-tightness of every jar
lould be tested with water before
they are filled with fruit, which should
ie placed in the jar as last as at is
repared, and the. jar filled to the neck
with, sirup.
A flat-bottomed kettle or an ordi
nary clothes boiler are convenient for
cooking, and a board fitted to the bot
tom loosefy and closely filled with inch
auger holes obviates all danger of break
age. Put the rubber and cover in po
sition, leaving the latter loose; fill the
boiler in warm water to the neck of
the jars and boil gently until the fruit
can be easily pierced with a fork. No
definite rule for cooking can be given.
Ten minutes is usually long enough
for berries, while the time required for
larger and more solid fruits depends
upon their ripeness. Experience soon
makes one expert. Take each jar out.
onto a hot plate, fill to overflowing
with boiling water, and screw down
the top. Tighten as it cooks, and in
vert to be sure that it is air-tight.
The jars should be wrapped in paper
to exclude the light, which is more in
jurious than one is apt to think, and
kept in a cool, dry place. ' The flavor
of fruit is more improved if the oxygen
is restored bv removing the cover an
hour or two before it is needed
If rich fruit is desired, the following
quantities of sugar for each pint jar
; will be satisfactory, but as sugar is not
; the "keeninc power."much less, or
: even none, may be used: Strawberries,
seven ounces; raspberries, tour ounces ;
whortleberries, four ounces; cherries.
six ounces; peaches, five ounces; Bart

ounces; plums, eight ounces; quinces,

FOR THE
Getting; at the Truth.
The other day an old woman, hawk
ing artificial flowers from door to
door, begged of the wife in a very piti
ful tone to buy some.
"I have no use for them," said the
vife.
"Oh, do lay out a copper," she plead
ed; "I haven't taken a penny all day,
nor even broken my fast."
The wife, believing this to be true,
-was just about to give her some cop
pers, and happened to say:
"Well, I am very sorry for you, but
I really don't want the flowers; in fact,
I don't like any you have, but "
"What?" shouted the old woman;
"don't like 'em? Why', the woman next
door has just bought a shilling's
worth!"
Then bang went the door. Spare Mo
