The Department of Agriculture Tells Us How to Preserve. THE WAYS TO SAVE SUGAR. Fruits Put Up Without Sirup Do Not Retain Their Color Well, but They Are Excellent For Sauces, Salads and Desserts That Are Sweet Enough. In these days of high prices, with sugar foremost ou the aviation list, many housewives have taken serious thought as to the advisability of put- ting up less fruit than usual This Is a pity, bevause home canned. fruit is not only safe and sure, but most delicious. It need not be as rich as preserves, In fact, many epicures regard fruit as refreshing in exact pro- portion to the smaliness of the amount of sugar used to preserve. Fruit for use in pie or salads or as stewed fruit can be put up or canned without the use of any sugar at all The canning specialists of the depart- ment of agriculture advise the house- wives who, in order to economize on sugar, have been thinking of reducing the amount of fruit they put up, to can as much of their surplus as possi- ble by the use of boiling water when sugar sirup is beyond their means. Any fruit, say the specialists, may be successfully sterilized and retained in the pack by simply adding boiling water instead of the hot sirup. The use of sugar, of course, is de- sirable in the canning of all kinds of fruits and makes a better and ready sweetened product. Moreover, most of the fruits when canned in water alone do not retain their natural fla- vor, texture and color as well as fruit put up in sirup. Fruit canmed without sugar to be used for sauces or desserts must be sweetened. Can the product the same day it Is picked. Cull, stem-or seed and clean the fruit by placing it in a strainer and pouring water over it until it is clean. Pack closely in glass jars or tin cans until they are full, using the handle of | a tablespoon, wooden ladle or table kuofte for packing purposes. Pour over the fruit boiling water from a kettle; 'place rubbers and caps | in position; partially seal if using glass jars; seal completely if using tin cans. Place the containers in a sterilizing vat, such as & wash boiler with false bottom, or other receptacle improvised for the purpose. If using a hot water bath outfit proc- ess for thirty minutes, counting time after the water has reached the boil. ing point. The water must cover the highest jar in the.container. After steriizing remove packs, seal glass jars, "wrap in paper to prevent bleaching and store In a dry, cool place. If you are canning In~tin cans it will improve the product to plunge the cans quickly into cold water immediately after sterilization. When using a steam pressure canner instead of the afyr bath, sterilize for ten minutes wi ve pounds of steam pressure. NeveY allow the pres- sure to go over ten pounds. HER PLAY HAT. What.

The first great miy'tary victory of | modern Russia was gained on the | bloody 'field of Poltava, when the army pletely defeated Ly the forces led by Peter the Great. The ambitious and powerful Swed | ish monarch began his Russian in| vasion of 1707 at the Lead of 43,000 | well trained veterans, folowing ak | most the same route as wus chosen by | Napoleon more than a century later. | In the first clashes he was success | ful, but he pursued the Russians with | such haste and recklessness that his | army was soon hopelessly involved in swamps and marshes. Peter reorgin- ized his forces and made his stand at Poltava, and the battle fought there on July 8, 1700, ranks among the great- est in history. The Russian bear, often whipped, pow fought ferociously. The Russians overpowered the army of Charles XIL by force of numbers. Charles XIL was wounded before the battle com menced and directed the movements of his ragged and half starved troops from a litter, in which he was can ried about the field. The Russian artillery worked havoe ip the army of the Swedish king, but Charles, with a few men, managed to escape and made his way to Turkish soll, where he found refuge from the wrath of the czar. Curiosities of Coffee. Coffee, a8 experts are aware, has & very extraordinary property. It is one of the most absorbent matters in ex- istence. Coffee beans placed In' a damp room swell and absorb moisture till they nearly double their weight. So absorbent is coffee, not only of 'moisture, but of gases and Savors, that shippers of Brazilian coffee always stipulate that the sacks of fresh Rio beans shall never be carried on a steamer which has raw hides as any part of her cargo. These will taint the coffee more surely than anything else and render it unfit for use. The useful side of this quality of coffee is that in a sickroom a handful or twe of fresh roasted and ground beans uct as an excellent purifier and deodorizer. Coronation Graft. The practice of running the foun- tains-and conduits with wine on core-- pation day was abandoned after the reign of Queen Elizabetk, but another" oll custom was observed up to the coronation of George IV. After the king and the company had departed from the banquet in Westminster hall the doors were threwn open, and the people rushed in and cleared the ta- bles of everything--victuals, cloths, pliates, dishes, etc., all vanished In & few minutes.

Every once would become dissatisfied with the Harper parental control and would leave to establish an independent fllus- trated paper. Having squandered their substance in riotous printing, these artists would | come to themselves and return to the Harper home, where was bread enough and to spare. No fatted calf was killed on the return of such prodigals, but Henry Mills Alden, the veteran editor of Harper's Monthly Magazine, assert- ed that the house of Harper never held a grudge against any contributor, whether artist or writer, who left to try other pastures. Such was the orl gin and such was the end of Punch- inello, a comic cartoon weekly which first appeared In New York city on April 2, 1870. In calling attention to the fact that the first number was dated the first day after All Fools' day, Punchinello remarked: "This is cheering, since thus it. is manifest that Punchinello leaves all the fools and jesters behind and is therefore first in the race for the crown of comic laurel and the quiver of satiric shafts." During its short life--less than a year--it was entitled to that honor.--Cartoons Maga zine. FAILED TO LOOK AHEAD. A Blunder That Has Brought Many a Family to Grief. In the American Magazine a writer says: "A man engaged in business in one of the trades or professions is strong and healthy, and his earnings are ade- quate to meet the needs of himself and family and lay a little by to combat the proverbial rainy day. "In trying to make a good appear' ance among his friends he lives up to bis income, sells the birthright of his family for a mess of pottage in order to gratify his vanity or procrastinating habits. He is strong, and the future seems a long way off. "Eventually on account of accident or disease he leaves the scene of action, and his wife and a numbér of small children must face the gloomy days of the future unassisted by a bank ac- count or life insurance policy simply because he failed to look ahead. "Another man has a_mortgage upen his property, -and he soliloquizes-in this manner: 'I shall meet the interest and next year begin paying off the mort- gage.' The years puss, the mortgage is foreclosed, and hé gealizes when too late that he failed to look ahead. "Still another man lived upon the principal of his physical bank account. He failed to bank energy aud conserve health in the form of proper physical exercise and careful hyglenic living. and exacting nature foreclosed by 'stmk- ing her victim with apoplexy." Canton's City of the Dead. In Canton. about eighty miles from Hougkoug. there is a place known as the City of the Dead. There ave 194 small houses, in cach of which a corpse fs lodged, at the rate of $25 for the first three months and then &t a re- duced rate until the geomancers em- toyed by the relatives of the dead person decide when and where the corpse shall he buried. Silk or paper lanterns and imitation fruit are hung from the rool. There are screens in each room between the dvor-and the coffin. Tea. fruit and any other kind of food which the dead person liked when on earth are placed on an altar before the coffin cach morning. There are car@board servants standing about to wait on him with pipes or cardboard cups of tea. There are also two hand- some paper females placed there to guide his spirit on the way to beaven Hitching to a Star. Many people luterpret the familiar phrase "Hitch your wagon to a star" as being wn injunction to "Wim high."

If an engine could be bullt which would accumulate all the power of the waves, since the tide wakes the waves and the moon makes the tide, we could use this enormous power to run our manufac: tories and wove our wagous, Thus we wuld "hitch our wagon to a star™-- Professor Jobs Erskine at Chautaucua.

Mexico's Spiked Mountain a Curious Geological Freak. One of the most remarkable geolog- jcal freaks in Mexico is a mountain situated near Pachuca, which presents the appearance at a distance of being covered with spikes. The sides of the mountain are closely studded with stone columns or palisades. These col- umns are five feet to twelve feet dng and as large around as an average man's body. It #s a remarkable uplift of nature, which has the appearance, however, of being the handiwork of human beings. One side of the mountain is almost perpendicular, and the stone columns protrude from the surface at right angles, forming an impressive picture. Pachuca is one of the most noted mining districts In Mexico, and it is sald by geologists that this remarkable spiked mountain is out of keeping with the remainder of, the formation of the mineralized region. The stone is as hard as flint and has withstood the elemgnts for ages. The spikes form a natural battlement that makes the mountain appear from a distance like some ancient fort. The mines of the Pachuca district are sitbated not far from this wonder- fal freak of nature, but the forma- tion' encountered in their respective underground workings is of an entire ly different kind from that of the palisade.--Pearson's Weekly. FLUNG UP FROM THE SEA. eg Birth of the Bogosiof Group of the Aleutian Islands. The first of the Bogoslof group of the Bsn uta was born In the year 1 \ There was a great convulsion in the Bering sea about twenty-five miles north of Unalaska, and an island ap- peared above the surface of the stormy waters. This islet, which rose to a height of nearly 3,000 feet above sea level, was christened Bogoslof by the Russians, who then owned Alaska. It remained solitary and alone until 1882, when another volcanic eruption in the sea was followed by the birth of an. other island near the first. For two years the new island was the scene of an active eruption. Then it cooled gradually and, like the first islet, became the home of seals and sea lions and the breeding grounds for sea birds. The third of the Bogoslof group was born in 1906. The "baby" was smaller than its elder sister, being about a third of a mile in diameter and with an altitude of some 600 feet, but the fol- lowing year another convulsion of na- ture resulted in nearly doubling its area. Since then several other islands have been born in various parts of the Alee- tian chain.--Chicago Journal. ' An Author's Odd Aversion. The "stoic" meal had attractions for Bdward Fitzgerald, who, among his other peculiarities, hated to see people enjoying their food. On ome occasion, after a man had finished a glass of wine in his company and gone out of the room, Fitsgerald remarked with disgust: "Did you notice how he took up his glass? I am sure he likes it Bah!" Fitzgerald himself, according to his blographer, A. C. Benson, "lived practically on bread and fruit, most ly apples and pears, even a turnip, with sometimes cheese or butter and milk puddings. But he was not a bigoted vegetarian. To avoid an ap- pearance of singularity he would eat meat at other houses and provided it in plenty for his guests. But the only social meal he cared to join in was "tea, pure and simple, with bread and butter." Genius and Appetite.
