A kettle, pall or holler of any kind which will take n few Jars deep enough to cover or come to the neck of the Jar with water and u good tight cover for the boiler Is nil that Is needed. Sterilize the cans by placing them In cold water, tops as well, and bring to the boiling point. Dip the rubbers In to the hot water before adjusting them, then with the filled Jnrs, If a Mason. screw It tight, then loosen ono-qunrter way buck. If the covers are screwed too tight, tho rubber Is forced out of plnce or the jar may crock, If too loose the water or liquid will be drawn from the can. The blanching of many fruits and till vegetables Is an Important part of the preparation. Hy blanching Is mennt the dipping Into hot water nnd letting the fruit or vegetublo stand u certain time, then plunging Into cold water. Blanching shrinks, drives out the gases In tho tissues and brings the color to the surface making n more attractive product. Tho ng"e and tenderness of the product determines tlio length of time for blanching. If apples arc to be canned, peel, quarter and dip for two minutes (If quickly cooked apples are used), otherwise five minutes, then plunge Into cold water and drain nnd pnek Into the jnrs. Fill the Jars with hot water, seal us mentioned nbove and cook twenty minutes In the hot water bath. Seal tightly as soon cs removed from the boiler. Peaches, pears and plums may nil' bo cooked In the hot water for twenty minutes. The peaches are blanched one minute; the plums or berries are not blnnched. Ments of various kinds make a very lino product canned nnd It will be found a most convenient 'method of conservation even In a city home, when more meat than Is needed Is on hand. In the farm home, large amounts are often on hand at butchering time that are much more quickly available If canned. We scatter seeds with curuless hand.

LTIIODGII the try ing of new recipes is a most fnsciniit 1 n g entertainment for the lover of cookery, yet dNap- nolnliniHir la Kiin. in b our portion un-1 .(rutKxulWnrGirdjn.Iri less we know how to apply a few sim ple tests to evry recipe before we risk wasting our pveclotic foodstuffs. Each kind of dish has some Imslc form. Knowing these, one may nmke Innumerable variations. Whnn one has renched this stage of knowledge, the taste and ingenuity of the cool; will have a chance to develop. In cuke making we learn thlit there are but two kinds of cakes; thoi- us ing some form of fat and those with out, or sponge cakes. In butter cakes the fat should bo from (uic-thlrd to one-half the uuan tlty of sugar, depending upon the rich ness desired. Since the- butter be comes liquid with heat we must take that Into account when adding milk, water or coffee. The total amount of liquid should measure one-half the flour. The amount of baking powder lij one level teaspoonful to a cupful of Hour, this In using heavier flours like corn or rice Hour should be Inert-used to one and a half or two. When a large number of whiles of eggs are used, less Hour Is i tied. Ilutter or other fat makes a hatter more tender, moist ant) of better keep ing quality; It also aids In mill, ng a Hnt grain. Hggs when cooked become thick, hence the more eggs tin less flour, other things being equul. When a large amount of sugar and butter tre u.wl, Increase the amount oi bak ing powder as both these Ingredients ore heavy. The following proportions are standard : Uso one-hiilf as much liquid as Hour for murrln and cako batters, reinem beilng that fnt Is liquid as well as molasses. One-tlilnl as much liquid as Hour i'ir otift doughs like biscuit. One-fourth ns much liquid ns flour fot s,tlff doughs llko brend. One-third us much butter ns sugar for all butter cakes.

Hannibal's Celebrated Passage of tho Alps. Kveryone knows tho story of how Hannibal crossed the Alps. The his torian Llvy says he demolished tho rocks that opposed his progress with the aid of flro and vinegar. Tho word used by Llvy antl ordinarily trnnsliitoil "vinegar" Is acetum. The question has been raised by a Kuropean olllcor whether this Is the true meaning of the original. Ho thinks that by acetum the historian referred to a substance resembling dynamite In Its properties, und he In vites chemists to consider the question whether the ancients may not have possessed ,n formula for making a powerful explosive of this kind. Ho calls attention to the fnct that two ancient hlstorlnns Murcus Grace-, cus and Albert Alx speak of the ex istence of two kinds of ncetuin, one of which possessetl greater energy than the other. A clue to the com position of this explosive may bo round, he believes, In the fact that to acetum was ascribed the prop erty of extinguishing thu dreadful "Oreek lire."

The Html syllable, ten ant, Is the sumo as the word tenant, as, tho tenant of u house. It Is from tho Latin tenere, to hold. A tenant lsl one who holds possession of u houso or land ; it lieutenant Is one who holda a place In lieu of another; one who IS to act In lieu of the captain when tho captain cannot.
