Household Karly Fall Preserving. Canning. To can any fruit suc- cessfully try the following method, which, although old-fashioned, is sure to give good r. suits and is convenient for Mrs. Newlywed, if she has limited conveniences and intends to put up sn.all quantities at a time. Method Have all uten- sils sterilized, by boiling in clear water for at least ten minutes, put- ting them on in waim water and then boiling. Jars also must be boiled and the covers, after wash- ing, should be placid in can of boil- ing water to simmer until ready to screw on. Use new rubbers and slip them on neck of jar before li.l- ing. To handle jars during filling, have them in a flat pan of hot w air. Set a wide funnel made for fruit jars, in neck of jar, then, with a cup or ladle, fill with the boiling hot fruit to overflowing. Screw or clamp on the top, then lift can on- to a folded cloth to cool. Wipe jar off and see that each top is on firm- ly before setting away. Proportions for Canning Syrup. Use half as much sugar as water . and boil long enough to make a clear sirup. Boil this slowly, say about five to ten minutes (less for the hard fruits). Skim off any scum that arises, then drop in the fruit and cook until tender, but not broken. Fill and seal as dir- ected. Canned peaches. Method Se- lect fine flavored freestone peaches ; scald with enough boiling water to cover; drain and plunge into cold water to make fruit firm, then slip off the skin and halve or slice the peaches. A few stones can be ad- ded to the sirup and one left in each can. Then make sirup, and t*rf' as directed in foregoing re- marks. Pears. Pare and core, then halve or sliced good but not too soft pears. Tht-n can like other fruit. Plum*. Green or red plums are best for canning. Prick each plum leveral times with a wooden tooth- pick, or skin as directed for peaches. Then can an other fruit. If plums are skinned, add some of the i-kins to the water and boil a few minutes, then take them out, add the sugar, and can as other fruit. Some leave the skins on, and with a fork remove them before erving, as skins impart good col- or and flavor. (If more than a few cans are put up at a time, have some sirup re- served and add a little as each can is filled. This will make the sirup of uniform richness.) \\ild or ! 1. 1 in -..n IMum Marma- lade. Method Jtcmove stems and any blemishes from the plums. Cover well with water in preserv- ing kettle and. simmer until soft and juice is well extracted. Hub through a collander, then measure the pulp. Use equal proportions of sugar, add half of sugar to plum.-, and boil ttlowly fur half an hour; then stir in rest of sugar and boil until a, little cooled on saucer i.-i stiff. Put in glasses like jam. Plum Jam. (Hlue freestone or the red Lombard plums are nice for jam ; cook slowly nnd stir often.) Method Wash, then stone the plums. Meruiure ami use equal portion of Migar, or, if fruit is very Bwert and dry, a little less sugar -im be used. Place enough water in bottom of preserving kettle to keep plums from settling before juice i.H fixtractod. Hoil slowly for half an hour, then add half of the sugar, and boil until (juitn thick, about one hour, then htir in rest of sugar and boil until a little tak- en on h.-iii- . i looks clear and begins to form a jollied consistency. Be ure it is thick enough to (stiffen like jelly or jam will not keep well. Have scalded jars or glasses ready. When fruit is slightly cooled, fill glasses almost to top ; set aside and cover with n paper until quite cold and surface has glazed over, (.n ;' one r twu days). Then pour on a thin layer of melted puralin. put on covers or tie n gla/ed i>.i|-r over. (Waph and wipe glasses be- fore setting away and juiste neat labels uii glass.) IV i> li Mai HI il.uii .

Now stir in rost of sugar, and, when it begins to thicken, test on e.'tucer. If clear and stiff, remove spice bag and put in glasses and seal as other jam. Itisht Use of Flavors. Vanilla should not be used with any very sweet dish, as it is apt to make the flavor rather cloying ; but iu a cake or pudding which coa.ains only a little sugar, it is often very nice. Unless your hand is exception- ally steady you had betler not pour out the vanilla from ths bottle, or instead of a drop or two you will get a little stream. It is better to pour the vanilla on to a lum,> of sugar. Then, if too much comes out, you can break off part of the lump, and so get only the exact quantity which you require. Use fresh lemons instead of lem- on essence whenever you can get them. Vou can put a squeeze of lemon juice into pastry, or a c.nke or pudding of the lolid kind, but you must not put it into a mi!k pudd.ng or sauce, for it would cvdle the milk and make the whole thing lumpy. liibttad you must cut a bit of thin lemon rind, and let it sim'.ner gently in the milk for a few m 11- utes ; then take out the ri.id, a; d go on making your puddi'.ig. Or you may rub a couple of lumps .-f sugar on the outside of your le.n- 011, till they turn yellow, and then add them to the pudding. If you want to make a soup or stew taste of onion, without actu- ally having a piece of onion in K, you may cut open your ve-jetao.e and rub it on each little bit cf meat. Or you may fry a few slices of onion with a little dripping, at the bottom of the pan which is to contain the stew and then take out the slices before putting in the other materials. A little onion, chopped and ad- ded to the greens, improves their flavor in a wonderful way. It is also very nice with dried peas, len- tils or beans. Ji.st a touch of mustard is very good with any dish that contains cheese macaroni cheese, or any- thing of that kind. Many ATTRACTIVE FALL GOWN BY PAQUIN. A P.n i- i. MM of <!> Corduroy.

A ti'rribli 1 narrative of tho death by starvation of over 100 nshe.nnen and their families in Nova Zembla. Russian Islands in the Arctic Ocean, is told in a St. Petersburg telegram to the Petit Parisien. Last winter was very severe, and the fu-hcrmen were unable to secure fresh supplies of food at the usual period, and the sea being fro7X"n, it was impossible to obtain fish. A scientific expedition visiting tho is- lands found the skeletons of the fishermen niul their wives and chil- dren lying in tho open, their huts hating been wrecked by the wind Not a scrap of food was left. Three of tho dead women still carried tlieir infants in their arms. In one hut was found a diary written by ono of tho fishermen. The last entries read : "We have no more provisions und we cannot secure any fish. A ves- sel seen approaching to-day, but it- wan only an illusion. It is terrible to we our children dying of hun- ger. They conic and cry to us for food. We arc reduced to eating our woollen garment*. We are still keeping on hoping for help. "All the children are tlcnd. We lire now four fishermen living and two women. Our sufferings arc in- describable. Two of the men have They tried to stave off their hunger by eating the flesh of tlieir tle.-id coniradea." Tho diary ends: "I, Gonoff, am the last survivor.

The average man with an education gets $1,000 a year; the average man without an education can get $1.50 per day. In 40 years the for- mer will earn $40,000, while the latter has earned $18,000. The man with an education is $^2,000 better off than the oilier unn. It pays to think and to know how to do cer- tain things. I'lvery day in school is worth a good deal to the average bojr. In the province of Saskatchewan a movement is on fm-t to make the admission fee to moving picture shows 25 cents. Winnipeg faces the likelihood of owing a big overdraft of about a million and a half to the baaks at the end of December. Three Doukhobors were forcibly fed in the Regina jail. Since then they have been taking nourishment in the ordinary way. Civic employes at Winnipeg may have to punch time clocks soon, if a plan proposed by the Board of Con- trol is carried out. While trying to ride a. horse for the first time, Miss Rubena Blanche Swinburn, a llegina girl, was thrown and had her ne?k broken. Land agents in Lethbridge dis- trict say that more U.S. land buy- ers are coming this year than have come in the last four years put to- gether. A site for the big Dominion Gov- ernment elevator at Sasxaioon has been chosen. It is a mile west of the city limits and covers 47 acres. Winnipeg's expenditure on schools this year, together with the amount due ihe banks at the begin- ning of the year, exceeded the re- ccipis by $1.034,112.54.

Hydonan, a three-year-old | of Veregin, Sask., had his arm cut off by the knives of his father's binder. He was playing about the machine when the horses started up. Mrs. James Innis, who lives about T miles from Regina, has a favorite horse. She went into the stall of the pet horse to caress him, and the horso reared, trampled her, and broke three of her ribs. Sceptre, Sask., a flourishing town only nine months old, has four elevators, four general store*, one hardware store, three machinery firms, two barber shops,' two pool- rooms, two restaurants, and a forty-room hotel. A grey timber wolf, believed to have escaped from River 1'ark, Winnipeg, chased a dog along Flor- ence Avenue. A man aw the wolf and shouted at it, whereupon it turned off towards the park.

While Moses tarried the people at the foot of the mountain became impatient uf bis return. The story of their impatience ana i apostasy and the consequent dis- ! pleasure of Jenovab is related in the opening verses of our lesson chapter. , Verse 15.

Joshua \>ho had now rejoin- ed Moses on his way down th mountain. The noise of. ihe people Gro-it demonstrations of religious '"-< vor, including especially singing and dancing, .were characteristic! of religious ceremonies in ancient times. 19. The noise of them that sing It was not the sound of con- flict, b\it of festive singing, which came from the camp. 19. Moses' anger waxed hot- Once before in his early life had Moses grown exceedingly angry to the point of losing control of him- self. On this occasion his anger caused him to cast the tables ol the sacred testimony out of bis hands and break them. 20. The calf A symbol strength, borrowed from the ligion of the Egyptians. Burnt it with fire The image would be cast over a wooden core. Made the children of Israel drink of it Implying that this drinking would cause disease in those guilty of idolatry. Verses 21-29 record the appeal which Aaron made in behalf of the people' and the relentless punish- ment inflicted by the loyal sons ol Levi at the command of Moses. 30. Sinned a great sin They had not only broken a definite pro- mise, but in doing so had been guilty of gross ingratitude toward Jehovah. Peradventure I shall make atone- ment for your sin Appease in i some way the wrath of Jehovah, apparently by offering himself in their stend to be blotted out of the roll of God's people. 32. Forgive their sin ; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book We are to supply in thought the ellipsis indicated by the dash, inserting some such words as "well and good," or "I am content," or I- I have no more to say." The broken phrases indi- cate the deep feeling of Moses. 34, 35. I will visit their sin upon them It is not clear whether the threatened visitation of punish- ment is to be thought of as follow- ing immediately, or at some later time. From the expression, "And Jehovah sraoto the people," some have inferred the former, while others think that the punishment referred to was the ultimate per- ishing of the entire generation in the wilderness, specifically men- tioned in Num. 14. 35: "In this wil- derness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die." of re- IMnn to Food Airman. A sort of ''nursing bottle' 1 has been devised for the use of uirruen.

BON-BONS NOT POPULAR. (iris in bunion Now Prefer Cigar-. eUes as Presents. At one of London's (England) largest and most important candy stores it was said recently that tin sale of bon-bons and chocolates in fancy boxes has greatly decreased of late years. "Of course -wo know why it is," .said the proprietor ''Women don't eat bon-bons us they did. They don't care for them, now that they smoke so universally. We used to have these boxes as dainty and pretty as possible because so many men bought them as presents, but we sell one now where w once sold twenty.
