Preserved Quinces.â€"I’are and core the fruit, dropplng it as prepared inâ€" .to cold water. When all are pared drain and weigh them. Put into a kettle, cover with boiling water, stew till a straw will pierce them easily; then, with a, skimmer, remove them to a large dish, avoiding breaking the pieces. Make a syrup with threeâ€" quarters of a pound of sugar and one cup of the water in which the Iquinces were cooked to each pound of fruit. Boil and skim this until it is a rich syrup; put the quinces in. it and cook, very slowly. till they are .clear. Preserves made this way are ' cl‘icious and not at all like the ough “chippy” quince prepared without the previous cooking or cooked with the sugar. One can add one-half sweet-apple (cooking the two fruits separately the first time) and the preserve will be much more de- licate than if all quince. Quince Marmaladc.-â€"For this the imperfect quarters of the fruit cut for preserves can be used. Prepare lth'e fruit as directed above, only us- ;‘ing as little water as will cook it. ,NVlicn thoroughly soft, add the sugar, allowing threeâ€"fourths of a pound to a pound of fruit. ‘ Cook till a homoâ€"- geneous mass, not too thick, for marmalade should not be “cheesy.” One should have an asbestos mat to put under the-kcttle, as marmalade burns easily. A considerable pro- portion of sweet-apple can be used to advantage with the quinces. Quince J elly.â€"This is generally made of the parings and cores of the quinces. The jelly is better flavored if the seeds are removed. Cover the pm‘ings with water and cook till ten- der, and strain the juice in the usual way. Boil the juice twenty minutes, then measure and to each pint allow a scant pound of sugar. Let boil ‘up after the sugar is added and fill into the glasses. Scotch 'Shortcakerâ€"Scotch' shortâ€" cake is made th‘us, when a. simple ’desert is wanted: Make an ordinary cookie dough, flavoring with either lemon or vanilla, and cut into forms. Butter each lightly and sprinkle with the candied seeds of various colors obtainable at the confectioner’s. Bake in cookie tins and serve hot or cold. / Starved Fishâ€"Stew any of the whiteâ€"fleshed fishes with sliced carâ€" rots, turnips and onions, 9. bit .of celery root and parsley until rather tender. Then strain out all vege- tables from the cooking water; add oneâ€"half cup of white .wine vinegar {(for each pound of fish); also sliced and pared lemons in the same pro- portion. Let the fish finish staining and lift it out carefully on a platter. Add the beaten yolks of egg to. the liquid, stirring carefully to prevent curdling, until a thin custard has been formed. Throw this over fish. Simmered'Fowl.-â€"No matter how tough or hopeless a fowl may seem roast it first to give the meat a; flavor. This must be done slowly and carefully, basting at frequent inâ€" tervals. When it is nicely colored, split dOWn the back and lay it flat in covered ham'boiler. Pour in all the gravy from the roasting pan and rinse same Well with an equal quan- tity of hot water.

HINTS FOR FALL CLEANING. The common kerosene oil is of inâ€" estimable Value in house cleaning, as it will help to clean furniture, woodâ€" work, linoleum or oilcloth; and rot- ten stone made into a paste with kerosene is all. that is required for polishing brass that simply needs brightening. Use equal parts of vine- gar and kerosene for cleaning linoleâ€" um and oilâ€"cloth, and it not only removes the dirt but leaves a glos- sy surface. Finger marks will sometimes dis- appear from furniture if they are rub- bed with a, bit of flannel dipped in sweet oil, and a good polish for varâ€" nished furniture is equal parts of vinegar, sweet oil and spirits of 'tur- pentinc; but if very soiled the furniâ€" ture should be washed first with warm surls and then rubbed dry with a soft cloth. Soiled wool may be brightened with crude petroleu, , rubâ€" bing hard with a woolen cloth, and afterwards rubbing dry. To clean white wood work, just rub with a. soft, dry cloth and then with soft water and whiting; wood with a, varnished finish should be cleaned with weak tea, and polished with. a, mixture of one part olive oil and two parts vinegar. If your carpet is beginning to show wear and look dingy, change the breadths from the centre to the sides; aod if the carpet needs cleaning, tack it to a. clean floor and scrub it with a lather of soap bark, then rinse with clear, warm water, and rub as 'dry as possible with soft, dry cloths and leave on the floor until perfectly dry, then the carpet can be lifted and the paper placed un'dcrncath. When blankets begin to wear, they can be cut through the centre, the sides whipped together and the edges hemmed. Partly worn sheets can be renewed in the same way. Both the cotton and woolen blankets should be Washed whilethey can be dried in the warm sunshine and they can be made soft and white by washing them through a. warm pearline sudsl and then rinsing carefully, but they should be well shaken to free them from dust and lint before they are put in the suds. After they have been Washed and dried, tack a strip Iof soft muslin across the blanket over the end that comes next to the head and the blanket may be kept clean twice as long. ' ___.â€" HOUSEHOLD HINTS . Somebody has discovered that if ‘warm water is used to sprinkle starched clothes they will be stiller. Beets, a, digestible and also nour- ishing vegetable, require from ten to fifteen minutes longer in cooking than potatoes. An impoverished double boiler may be made of a kettle, a small pail and the top of a tin fruit can with a hole in it. Place the tin in the ketâ€" tle, set the pail on it, fill up with boiling water, and “there you are!” Macaroni, whether used with cheese, tomatoes or soups and broths, should be cooked thirty minutes in boiling salted water first. Keep boiling conâ€" stantly, 'then drain and drop into cold water to whiten. It is then ready for use with the cheese, etc. Water, says a culinary authority, should not be. used to haste meat. It toughens it, whereas hot fat makes it tender. If there is not enough fat in the meat to provide material for basting, heat some fat very hot and haste the meat; there will then be enOUgh' in the pan for the purpose. Pretty rag rugs are made by paring the rags as for carpet, colorâ€" ing them all one color, as green or brown, and having them woven in the desired lengths. By using a colâ€" ored warp a contrast in color may be obtained. a“.â€" RULES FOR HUSBANDS. If your wife frowns at you, smile at her. If she smiles at you laugh with her. If she is angry soothe her.

The Rapid Review says that Lord Curzon's writing was so bad at Ox- ford that when he wrote to a rela- tive and to a friend with whom he was wont to be candid about that relativc’s shortcomings, and put the letters into the wrong envelopes, no harm resulted.

Secrecy is Preserved as to Move- ments of the Army. A minor proof of Japanese efficien- cy may be seen in their methods of handling the correspondence of" an army in the field. The authorities in Japan are not trembled by disgrun- tled privates writing home about illâ€" treatment and bad food, and unâ€" comfortable beds, and thus stirring__ up M.P'.'s to descend upon the Adâ€"’ ministration and the War Office. The Japanese soldier, so an American army officer reports, is aliOWed to send nothing home in the way of mail, but a card, containing no in- formation save that he is well. He is not allowed to tell where he is. Inâ€" stead of writing with a pen or pen- cil, he affixes his name to the card with a stamp. The cards are then taken back to Japan in large pack- ages, and put into the mail there, so that a card on reaching its desâ€" tination contains no postmarks to inform the folks at home of the writer’s whereabouts. NEURALGIG PAINS. ARE THE CRY 015‘ THE NERVEs low FOR BETTER BLOOD. â€"â€"oâ€"- Enrich the Blood and Neuralgia Will Disappearâ€"It is Only Those the chemical factories of the Whose Blood Is Poor and Wa- tery That Suffer. No part of the human system is more sensitive than the nerves. Many of the most excruciating pains that afflict mankind come from weak, shaky, shattered nerves, and among the nerve pains there isperhaps none causes more intense suffering than neuralgia, which generally at- tacks the nerves of the face and head, sometimes causing swift, dart- ing, agonizing painsâ€"at other times a dull, heavy aching feeling which makes life miserable. There is only one way to get rid of neuralgia and other nervous troubles, and that is through the blood. Poor, watery blood makes the nerves shaky and invite disease. Rich, red blood makes 'the nerves streng, and banishcs all nerve troubles. No medicine in the world can equal Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills as a blood builder and nerve tonic; every dose helps to make rich, red blood, and ever drop of this new blood feeds and strengthens the nerves and banishcs all nerve aches and pains. Among those who offer strong proof of this is Mr. John Mc- Dcrmott, Bond Head, Ont., who says : “A few years ago while work‘ ing as a. carpenter in Buffalo I got wet. I neglected to charge my clothes and next morning I awoke with cramps and pains throughout my entire body. I was unable to go to work so called in a doctor. I fol- lowed his treatment, but it did not help me. 'As I was unable to work I returned to my home at Bond Head. Here I consulted a doctor who said I was suffering from neur- algia but though he treated me for some time, he also failed to help me. I had often read of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, do decided to try them. I had not used more than three boxes before I felt they were helping me. From that on I gained day by day, and after I had used some ten boxes I had fully recovered my oldâ€" time strength and have since been able to work at my trade without any trouble. The pains and aches no longer torture me and I have gained in weight. I think Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills an invaluable medicine and shall always have a good word to say for them."

When the leaves begin to turn, most of the people who admire the beauty of the Woods then say, “How wonderful!” never wonder what it is that changes the green into the splendid glowing tints of autumn. Asfk nine persons out of ten, and if they hazard a, guess at all they will probably say that the frost has tinted the leaves. But the frost has nothing to do with it. Leaves color- ed by a frost 100k quite dill‘crent from leaves colored in the due course of nature. The coloring of the leaves is due to a genuine preparatiOn for winter which goes on among the trees and shrubs, just as it does in the animal world. The leaves, as you know, are the feeders of the trees. Now, as the autumn arrives and the time up- proachcs when the leaves must Su- spend their functions, there is a great hurry in the arteries and veins of the plants to extract all the nourish- ment that is left, and to store it away deep in the trunk and branches, to stay there through the time of frost and snow. This increased activity, which sets money a’nd favorâ€"fill the tiny pumps or cells working from root to crown, extracts the More Delicious in flavor than the finest Japan tea grown A CEYLON NATURL GREEN tea is. fast as popular as “SALADA ” Black tea. 25c and 40¢ per lb.

All the albumen and starches in the leaves are changed into liquid at this time and pumped busin into the storage houses un- der the bark, where they are pre- served, safe and sound, till the folâ€" lowing spring, whcn they furnish food for new leaves and sprouts. The most prominent color of an autumn scene is yellow. This yel- is caused by waste matterâ€" stuf‘f that is left behind as useless when the little pumps take in the ma.- terial that makes the green color; and crystals of lime that Were left when plant turned the albumen into liquid so it could be pumped, also help to make the yellow. «- To change the starchy matter into sweet liquid, another chemical proâ€" cess is used, and as it does not sucâ€" ceed well if the light is too strong, the plants manufacture a curious substance, which turns red the mo- ment it touches any of the many acids that exist in almost all leaves. Thus, the red, yellow and orange colors of the autumn woods are anyâ€" thing except mere tricks of nature intended only to delight. As every- body knoWs, these tints are especial- ly poWerful for resisting the pasâ€" sage of the sun’s rays. Furthermore, they have the property of changing light into heat. This heat again spurs all the plant's cells to new activity, so the autumn foliage of the woods is by no means a Sign of sleep. It is then that the chemical laboratories are at their most feverâ€" ish toil. .__._._+__. NOTES FROM JAPAN. What Is Going on in the Land of the Rising Sun. Japan has established her up to date system of education in Formosa with much success. The Japanese Government is in the market for a number of locomotives. The rice crop prospect in Japan is good. It is nearly 43,000,000 bush~ els in excess of the average crop of 200,000,000 million bushels. The Japanese Marine Association will form a volunteer fleet of auxilâ€" iary cruisers. Canada is pushing for sales in Japan. Consuls are being appointed with authority to pay for early staâ€" tistical information. Sample rooms will be attached to the consulates. Japanese products will be exhibited in commercial museums in Canada. Japan’s foreign trade, for the eight months ended Aug. 31 last, amountâ€" ed to $212,000,000, an increase of $9,500,000 over the same months of 1903. The export of gold has mod- erated considerably, but the import of silver increased from $1,180,000 to $0,585,000, by the requirements of the army in the field. During August the Japanese banks allowed from 5.5 to 5.9 per cent. interest on deposits, and charged from 7.9 to 9.1 per cent. interest on loans. It is evident that bank- ing in Japan is profitable. Japanese cotton mill owners are enlarging their plants to meet the increased Chinese demand for J apanâ€" ese cotton manufactures. 638,493 aggregate tonnage entered the port of Nagasaki, Japan, but only 35, of 140,93Ltonnage, flew the Stars and Strips. Japanese ves~ sels made up half the total number and oneâ€"third the total tonnage. British ships were 309, of 820,950 tonnage. We are barely in it. The new harbor at Osaka was opened in July. The first two ves- sels to arrive were British, as usual. Large warehouses for the storage of cargoes have been erected. A syndicate in Osaka. is organizing a seed oil manufacturing trust. Of the 467 savings banks in Japan only one is foreign. Of the 1,799 orâ€" dinary banks only four are foreign. In Japan every dishonored check or note is publicly gazetted, conseâ€" quently very few are dishonored; in Tokio, fer instance, with its 1,500: 000 population, only 46 per month during the year ended May last. “The whole conduct of the Japan- ese shows them to be a. people gener- ous and easy, but bold and desperâ€" ate in their resolutions." Voltaire wrote this 150 years ago, but it is as true to-day as it was then. By Sept. 2 the Widows and Or- phans’ Fund raised by the Japanese colony in London had reached $100,< 000. . ____+_______ AN AID TO MOTHERS. It doesn't help a sick baby to give it “soothing” drugs.
