I About the I ....House I* I HOW TO MAKK I'RUIT SYIIUPH- Nf) liome-made beverage is at onco so beautiful anil delicious as those made Willi fruit syrups and shrubs, and every housewife should provide a few jars of each in the season of small fruits. Properly made and Btorerl, they keep as well as canned fruits, and are fine for flavoring ices, creams, custards and various kinds of puddings and other desserts. They require more sugar than jellies, and unlike that consert should be • made of perfectly ripe fruit. Use granulated sugar, earthen or granite- ware vessels, and woooen or silver spoons in all the various operations. When done they can be bottled, but are more convenient when kept in pint-size fruit jars. Currant Syrup.â€" Wash, drain on a cloth, and stem nd currani.s; place in an earthen or graniteware vessel, mash thoroughly with a wooden masher, and set in a warm place for twenty-four hours, or until fermenta- tion begins. (This destroys the pec- tin contained in the fruit and pre- Tents the syrup from jellying.) Prain the juice through a cheese-cloth bag that has been wrung out of hot water, by suspending the latter over a deep bowl and occasionally press- ing against the Hides with two wood- en ladles or spoons. Wringing or squeezing is sure to make the .syrup cloud.v. Measure, allow two pounds of sugar for each pint of juice, set over a slow fire, and stir constantly until every particle of sugar .s dis- solved. As soon a.

ECONOMY OK HKAT. The average humidity in artificial- ly-heated houses is about thirty de- grees; the average temperature, sev- enty to seventy-four degi-ees. It has been found by conclusive tests that a room with a humidity of sixty de- grees and a temperature of sixty-fivo degre>s seems warmer and more com- fortable than a room ol seventy-two degrees of heat and humidity of thirty degi-ecs. Pr. Henry .\1. Smith says that if a room of si.\ty-eight degrec-s is not warm enough for any heulthy person it i.s because the hu- midity is tov> low. and w-ater should be evaporatiMl to bring the nuiisture up to the right degree.
