Rcqacstcd Receipts
Canning Cucumbers. Peel and Blice
thin cucumbers of medium-size, sprin
kle with salt and a little alum; drain
after letting stand two nours, and put
into jars, adding vinegar enough to
cover, pepper and a few whole mus
tard seeds, the quantity of pepper to
be governed by the liking for it, and
the wliole pepper to be used in prefer
ence to the ground. On top of the
pickle, when ready to seal, add a des
sertspoonful of table olive oil, and
seal. This is good to serve with
meats, fish or salads, and should keep
nicely.
Canned Lima Beans. Boil tho beans
until tender, but not soft; season with
oalt, as for the table, dip out tne su
perfluous water, if any, and pour the
beans and" the remaining water, boil
ing hot, into the can or jar,, until they
overflow, and seal. The jar ihust be
perfectly full, and tho more beans,
with water enough to cover same, that
is used, the better. The jars must
be perfectly sweet and clean, and
sealed air-tight.
Canned Peas. Shell nearly ripe
but not hardened peas and lay them
in cold water and bring to a boil; boil
until tender,' but not broken; set the
cans in hot water, drain the peas from
the liquid through a colander; re
turn the liquid to the fire, fill the cans
to overflowing with the peas, and
when the liquid boils again, overflow
the can with the boiling liquid. Seal
at once, and put in a cool place. This
is recommended;
Canning Tomatoes by Steam. Scald
ripe Arm tomatoes, and peel; pack
the tomatoes in glass jars which have
been scalded and renaered perfectly
sweet and clean (jars, metal tops and
, rubbers, .must be- in good, condition).

OLD FASHIONED
But Still In tho Fashion
It is an ever new and interes ling
story to hear how one can be entirely
made over by change 10 rood.
"For two years I was troubled with
what my physician said was the old
fashioned dyspepsia.
"There was nothing I could eat but
20 or 30 minutes later I would be spit
ting my food up in quantities until I
would be very faint ancr weak. This
went on from day to day until J was
terribly wasted away and without any
prospects of being helped.
"One day I was advised by an old
lady to try Grape-Nuts and cream
leaving off all fatty food. I had no
confidence that Grape-Nuts would do
all she said for me as I had tried so
many things without any help. But
it was so simple I thought I would
give it a trial she insisted so.
"Well I ate some -for breakfast and
pretty soon the lady called to see her
'patient' as she called me and asked if
I had tried her advice.
" 'Glad you did child, do you feel
some better?'
" 'No,' I said, 'I do not Know as I do,
the only difference I can see Is I have
no sour stomach and come to think of
it I haven't spit up your four tea
spoons of Grape-;Nuts yet.'
"Nor did I ever nave any trouble
with Grape-Nuls then or any other
time for this food always stays down
and my stomach digests it perfectly;
I soon got strong and well again and
bless that old lady every time I see
her. '
"Once an invalidof 98 pounds I noty
weign 125 pounds anr reel strong and
well .and it is duo entirely and only:tjb

a tcaspoonful of sait, tnen overflow
with cold water, so that all Epaco is
filled with water. In tho bottom of a
wash-boiler put a lattice-work of
strips of wood, laid "criss-cross," and
stand the jars on this little platform,
about an inch above the bottom of the
boiler. Put tho rubbers on the jars
(it is better to put the rubbers on
the jars before Ailing them), theri
screw the metal top on securely, but
not tightly, that the steam as tho
water in the Jars heats and expands;
may escape; then pour in cold water
enough to como half-way to the top
of the jars, fit the lid closely on the
boiler, and bring the water to a boil,
letting it boil twenty minutes. Then,
removo tho lid from the boiler and
screw the lids on tho jars as tightly as
possible. Remove tho jars, separately
from the water, turning each, as you
take it out of the water, onto the top
end, and let it stand a few minutes, or
until you see if it. is perfectly sealed.
If tho rubber, or the metal top is de
fective, or the metal edge bent, there
will be an escape of the juice, and
you must mark the place and with a
knife-handle, or small Jiammor, the
edge of the metal must bo pressed
down to the rubber. This must be
repeated until it is perfectly air-tight,
or it will not keep. The lid must be
screwed on as tightly as possible, and
the jar set away in a cool, dark place,
A steam-cooker is very fine for can
ning, making the Work much easier.
In closing the boiler-lid, a thick towel
placed over the top of the boiler be
fore putting on the lid will hold the
steam more closely.
Chowder. Chop fine one peck of
green tomatoes and six large onions,
and one large, solid head of cabbage;
cover with hall? a cup of salt and let
stand overnight; then cram; put on
to boil with one quart of vinegar and
one pint of water; noil until tender,
but not soft; drain and add.one pound
o, sugar, one quart o,vihegar table
spoonful each of cloves and cinnamon,
one ounce of ginger, one-fourth pound
of white mustard seed, one scant
ounce of red pepper. Bring to a boil,
arid seal at once.
Cucumber Cream ,
Cut up and boil .three cucumbers
(when just right for the tabic) in a
very little water; press the pulp
through a hair-sieve, and add five
drops of salicylic acid, two teaspoon
fuls of glycerine, half an ounce of
sweet almond, oil and a few drops of
any preferred perfume; beat well, and'
keep covered in .a porcellain jar.
Here is a formula for cucumber
cream that can not bo excelled. It
.can be made at home if you are care
ful to have all your utensils exquis
itely clean and ingredients properly
mdasured and weighed: Cut up
enough cucumbers to weigh two
pounds; mash them in a hardwood
bowl and let them stand all day; melt
three and one-half ounces of oil of
sweet almonds, two and one-half
drams of white wax and nine diams
of spermaceti over hot water; strain
the liquor from tho cucumbers and
heat it a little, then- stir in tfte melted
oils gradually; set in the ice-chest to
harden; then beat with a wooden spat
ula to separate the watery from the
solid parts; pour off the former and
beat in a half ounce of glycerine
without heating, working with the
hands. It will become thoroughly in
corporated into a cream. Put up into
small jars, pour a little rosowater
over the top, cover, and keep in a cool
place. This can be made now, while
cucumbers are cheap and plentiful,,
and Js a delightfully cooling, as well
as a' good bleaching cream. Hortense

"Ar well-known' physfdfanjr writing to

' ''A'L'ondon 'society has - been formed
for the purposo of suppressing tho cor
set altogether, and it is composed of
both men and women, but mostly
women, who aro. beginning their cru
sado by dilating on the evils of cornet-wearing,
issuing printed matter
which they send to unmarried men
and women, urging men not to mar
ry women who wear corsets, and also
urging hygienic living and physical
culture as a means of developing and
maintaining a correct form all of
which I npprovo except tho waste of
energy and money .in- as.ung young

Women do not, an! never cm wear
corsets from choice or for ciomforl, but
certain styles are adopted and worn
because they prove the most pleasing
to the men. Many womtin will deny
this, and say that it Is-because it is
the fashion; but what starts tho fash
ion? A certain woman or type of
woman is found to be trie most popu
lar with the men, and, forthwith, the
manner and style of dread, and-so far
as posoible, the form or that woman
or type is adopted as the style. The
neat, trim figure of a woman wearing
a properly fitted and hygienic corset
will naturally attract tho eye and hold
tho admiration of the opposite sex
as against tho woman vno claims the
distinction of emancipation. I do not
advise nor recommend the veailng of
corsets, but they are and will be worn,
therefore, they should bo worn for a
purpose, so fitted that no activity is
denied to any portion of tho -anatomy,
and so properly adjusted that, while
they support the skirts, hose, and oth
er clothing, perfect freedom of move
ment is allowed, so that any woman
may' hold a book, weighing half a
pound, supported "upon the tips of the'
fingers of both hands, directly above
tho head at arms rengtn, arid in
that position carry it around the room
while breathing naturally. No man
need fear to many the woman who
can do this when the corser as usually
worn is on her body. Woman Is no
more the slave of fashion than is
man. I do not at all deprecate the
attempt to look well; it is commend
able, and should be encouraged."
Tho Uso Of Olycerlna
A leading specialist, and authority
on matters pertaining to the skin,
says of glycerine: Glycerine is really
very harmful to the sum; it evapo
rates the water in tne pores rapidly,
particularly, will-rcsu.'i m breaks of
the skin, or chaps and roughness. This
may be a surpriso to many, for it Is
a fond belief that for chapped hands
and lips it is an excellent remedy an,d
preventive. Mixed with other fngre
.dients so that a chemical change oc
curs in it, it may not be harmful, but
glycerine, in a pure state, should nev
er be applied to the skin, or its health
and appearance will suffer, and cracks
and chaps will only be aggravated.
Asbestos
When you are cooking on a gas or
gasoline range, there is always trou
ble to keep a slow flame for any
thing that needs slow cooking; the
flame is so hot, too, mat cooking ves
sels of almost any kind are more or
less injured by being used directly in
the blaze. To remedy this, one should
supply herself with asbestos mats,
which can be bougnt either ready
made and bound with tin, with a ring
for hanging up, at a cost of five to
fifteen cents, according to size, or
the asbestos can be bought and cut
as wished. By using these mats, the
heat directly oh the vessel is moder
ated, and spread eyehly over the bot

High-Power ncroioope
All who"' use the microscope arc
aware that the limit of its magnifying
power is soon reached. Beyond a
certain point the image become in
di.stiiict, large but not cleai, and the
imperfect fons of tho instrument aro
magnified as well as tho object. Prof.
Dolbear has observea that "the pow
ers of tho microscope have not been
doubled within the last fifty years,
though more time anu ingenuity have
been given to the problem of improv
ing it than will ever be given in the
same interval again." It Is danger
ous, however, to prophesy. One of
the exhibits at the royal society's con
versazione seemed to mar::' a very
distinct advance. Mr. J. W. Gordon
showed a high-power microscope
which had in the view-field of the or
dinary instrument a rotating glass
screen, and this, viewed through a
second microscope, gave a further
magnification of 100 diameters. The
ground-glass screen, by expanding the
transmitted light wave, causes it com
pletely to fill the aperture of the sec
ond microscope, so that the usual im
perfections ofw excessive magnification
disappear. A diaton was magnified
10,000 diameters, and its structure was
clear and well defined. With tho
same magnification thceye of a house
fly would seem to cover an area of
312 square feet.
