Put the sugar in a, preserv- ing lsettle With half a, pint of Water. Let it melt over a slow fire, then simmer gently for half an hour; then boil rather quickly till the syrup is so thick it hardens when" a, little of it is dropped on ice. When the syrup is in the course of boiling. carefully pick over the berries, re- move the stems and hulls. When the syrup has reached the proper state, add the berries, stand the kettle off the fire, cover it with the berries in the syrup, and let it stand for an hour; then return the kettle to the fire, remove the cover, and let the whole boil briskly for two minutes. Skim the surface well, then pour the preserves into srnmll glasses and seal when cold. Italian Waysâ€"To each pound of berries weigh a pound of su-gar. Pick the berries over carefully and reâ€" move stems and hulls. Put the ber~ ries- in. glass jars or big-mouthed bot- tles, filling each bottle two-thirds ful}; keep the bottle slightly inclined so the berries slide in gently and reach the bottom of the glass un- bruised. Boil the sugar to a syrup that spins like fine hair when dropâ€" ped from the spoon. Stand the glass jars or bottles with the fruit in a deep pan in which some straw is laid on the bottom; fill the pan with hot water to half the depth of the jars: Pour the syrup in the bottles over the fruit, let them boil in the pan of water two minutes then seal the bottles and stand them to cool. German WaY.--Alloxv three-quarters of a pound of sugar to a, pound of fruit. Remove the stems and h‘ulls carefully from the berries, and Weigh the fruit after this is done. Put the berries in an earthen preserving kettle, with the sugar sprinkled in. » between and over the berries. Let them stand over night in the sugar. The next morning put the kettle over a. slow fire, and when the berries have simmered five minutes liftthem out with u, s'kinuner, and lay them on a sieve to drain over a big bowl. Pour the juice that drains from the berries in the sieve over a, dish. Let the syrup boil till it spins from. the spoon. Skim it well. Put the her- ries in the syrup again, and let them simmer five minutes, then lift them out with a spoon, put; them in jars, filling each jar half full. Let the syrup boil till quite thick, and pour it in the jars .over the berries and seal them tight. English Way.-â€"-â€"'l‘ake equal weights of strawberries and sugar. Lay the fruit in deep dishes and sprinkle half the sugar over it, and give a gentle shake to the dish, that the sugar may touch the under part of the fruit. The next day make a thick syrup with the remainder of the sugar and the juice drained from the berries, and boil it until it jellies. Then carefully put in the berries, and let them simmer nearly an hour; then put them carefully in jars or bottles, fill them up with the syrup, and seal. American Way.-â€"Weigh one pound of fruit. Put the sugar into a, preâ€" serving kettle, with enough water to keep it from sticking. Let the sugar boil to a thick syrup, then put in as many straw-berries at a time as will cover the surface of the syrup withâ€" out crowding them. and let them cook gently for twenty minutes; then skim them out carefully and lay them on platters to cool, so they lay scp,'i'ately. When they are cold put them into glass jars and strain the hot syrup through a fine sieve over iii-em and seal the jars. SANITATION or in»: KITCHEN. A careless cook can in a short time create enough malarial or other poiâ€" son in the kitchen to make herself and the rest of the family sick, writes Susanna W. Dodds, M1). One of the first things for her to learn is to keep the dish towels and all the cloths used about the kitchen scrupuâ€" lously clean. This is something that is very difficult to teach to the averâ€" age cook, and often a filthy dish rag is hung up behind the stove, or it lies a foul and slimy mass in the sink or on the table. There are other ways of generating typhoid fever, diphtheria, etc., than from lbad plumbing, though the latter is a common cause in many homes. All the cloths, dishes, pots, pans, and other cooking utensils should not WW. -.-. ». :1 -‘, h l We like finest to call scours sunset: a food chaqse it‘stends so em; pliatfcally for nutrition.

Grease or greasy water is poured down the plum; these become lined With- anything that will stick to them, and foul odors escape into the room. Even cooks the most tidy should use a, disinfectant from time to time and keep the pipes clear. There are various preparations which may be employed, as sal soda, carâ€" bolic acid solution, and even com- mon copperas, though this, it much used, will rust i'ron pipes badly. Boilâ€" ing water poured down occasionally tends to keep the pipes in goo-d con~ dition. There Should be a strainer over the opening of the drain pipe, to prevent its}; hecomfing obstructed. and if the Sink is kept clean this will be a further safeguard.- Ix'ettlcs or basins containing refuse, tomatoes, scraps from the table. etc., should not be until the whole is a seething mass of fermentation. Many cooks are extremely careless in this matter; it is a little trouble to go to the rear and empty the refuse into a, garbage box or bin. The practice in some houses is to burn up all the waste from the kitchen, which would seem to be a very sanitary method, but in hot Weather, when the gas stoves are in Use and the range is not lighted for days and weeks together, its fireâ€" box is anything .' but 9. good recep- tacle for waste. It is better to take this directly to the garbage box, to be promptly removed at frequent inâ€" tervals. It should be the duty of either the cook or the housekeeper to inspect daily the icebox, cupboard and pan- try, and see that nothing is left in them to spoil or ferment. Moreover, the ice chest should be thoroughly cleaned every few days; one cannot be too careful in these particulars. In fact, it is a good rule not to cook more than is! needed from day to day; and one equally important, in planâ€" ning a meal, is to see if anything has been left over that ought to be used. Such a practice is not only good economy, but it promotes doâ€" mestic hygiene. Tables made of soft wood, which soaks up Water readily, or with largo cracks running through them, often become receptacles for filth. A good way is to cover them over with zinc, this being easily kept clean. REMEMBER TIT-AT Milk which is turned or changed may be sweetened and rendered fit for use by stirring in a little soda. Salt will curdle new milk. Hence, in preparing milk porridge, graviesv, etc., the salt should not be added until the dish is prepared. Clean boiling, water will remove tea stains and many fruit stains. Pour the water through the stain and thus prevent it spreading through the fabric. Ripe tomatoes will remove ink and other stains from white cloth and from the hands. A tablespoon of turpentine boiled with white clothes will aid in the whitening process. Boiled starch is much improved by the addition of a little sperm salt or gum arabic dissolved. Bees-wax and salt will make rusty flat irons as clean and smooth as glass. Tie a lump of Wax in a rag and keep it for that purpose. When the irons are hot rub them first with the rag, then scour with a cloth or paper sprinkled with salt. Kerosene will soften boots and shoes that have been hardened by water and render them as pliable as Hell]. ._._.._4.___...__ SKIN S O]? WILD ANIM.AI.S. Many Are Becoming Scarce and Increasing in Value. Skins of animals are daily becom- ing more rare and valuable. The spread of civiliz'aticn is the exter- mination of the monarchs of the plain, the forest, the jungle and the hills, and their hides now ornament many a museum, clubhouse and drawâ€" ing room. ’J‘he skin of the lion, the king of beasts, is among the most valuable of the rare skins. It is kingly, even as was the animal himself, and re- veals the great strength and courage of the mighty form that it once pro- tected. The skin of the full grown lion is about three yards long and one and one-half yards wide. hair is neither bright nor pretty, but its great shaggy mane crowns it like a rare jewel and makes it valuable. ’l he skin of the tiger is much pret- tier than the skin of the lion, and it, ltoo, reveals the lboast which it once protected.

Among farmer lads in this country it is popular to catch foxes during the winter and to tan their skins for rugs and for ornaments, but the fox Slkin toâ€"day isn't by any means as valuable as are the skins of large; and fiercer animals, though the fox is growing more and more scarce.

A Trouble That Aid-lets Thou- sands of Young Girlsâ€"Cured by Dr. Williams’ l’inl; Pills. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills do only one thing, but they do it well. They fill the veins with‘ new, rich, red, health-giving blood, which drives away all traces of anaemia, headâ€" ache, backache, palpitation, nervous- ness, dizziness and despond-ency. The new blood they make brightens dull lust-reless eyes, and brings the rosy glow of health to pale cheeks. In curing anaemia Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure the foundation of conâ€" sumption as well. The new blood they actually make gives new strength and vigor to every organ in the body, and enables it to fight whatever disease attacks it. That is why they are the best medicine in the world for girls in their teensâ€"or women in middle lifeâ€"and to all those whose blood is weak, watery or impure. Miss Mazy E. Pratt, Blyth, Ont., gives strong testimony to the value of these pills. She says: "I was a. sufferer for over a, year with anaeâ€" .mia. I was completely run down, had frequent headaches, spells of dizziness and palpitation. of the heart. I doctored all summer and was no better than when I began. I had practically given up all hope of fin-ding a cure when my brother adâ€" vised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I got four boxes and when I had taken them I felt so much bet- ter that I got six boxes more, and before I had taken all these I was completely cured. I am more thankâ€" ful than I can say for what the pills have done for me, as but for them I would not be enjoying good health to-‘day. I strongly urge all weak girls to give Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills a fair trial." Miss Pratt's experience proves the value of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills to every weak and ailing person. These pills can be had from any medicine dealer or by mail from the Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine 00., Brockville, Ont., at 500. a box or six boxes for $2.50. .____.:..___.___ NOTED WOMEN EXPLORERS.

The Big Beasts"Are Frequently En- countered by Man. News is to hand from tWO indepen- dent sources, says South ‘Africa, of an extraordinary adventure that re- cently befell Mr. Dickert, a. farmer living some 15 miles from Malindi Siding, on the Wankies line. Mr. Dickert went to bed at 10 o'clock and was just going to sleep when he heard what he thought was a pig grunting and sniffing outside the] door. He got up and stepped out- side to call his dogs, when he was seized by a lion. He shouted, and Mrs. Dickert ran out with a. rifle, with which she hit the animal on the head, causing it to loose its hold. Mr. Dickert immediately snatched at the rifle and fired, point blanlgl fortunately killing the lion at theg first shot. The whole affair was, over in a few seconds, and occurred- close to the bedroom door, where the hungry animal had evidently been: waiting. Mr. . Dickert was badly] scratched and had his arm lacerated. where the lion seized him. Thought sufficiently serious at the time, he! now looks upon the adventure-as onel of the most novel of his experiences.l The people at Malindi Siding have been annoyed by a lion that developâ€" ed the habit of coming right up to the station and was heard in the1 neighborhood of the railway men‘s, houses. A short time ago the con-i ductor of the Falls train and several of the passengers saw two young? lions playing between the rails nearI the Gwaai. I Further up the line, in the direc-l tion of the Zambesi, the lions apâ€"l pear to be much more numerous. Not; long since the native commissioner at Matetsi is reported to have had[ fifteen head of live stock killed ini broad daylight by nine lion which! were hunting together. I Quite lately two or three lions' have been seen close to the Victoria Falls, on the south side of the river, but, for_ the reassurance of visitors, it may be mentioned that they only appeared at night and were exceed-_ ingly shy of any human being. At Dett, which .is on the same line of railway, a few weeks ago the remains were found of a white man who could not be identified and who appeared to have been killed and partly eaten by lions. Another European when accosted for travelling without a ticket hast? ily left the train in the same disâ€" trict, made oil‘ in tho‘ darkness and, has not been seen since. 'All of which shows that there is plenty of awaiting the sportsman, even southern Rhodesia. __+.__..__ SICKLY CHILDREN. ._â€"._. in More children die during the hot weather months than at any other] season of the year. Their vitality is then at its lowost ebb, and an at- tack of diarrhoea, cholera infantum or stomach trouble may prove fatal in a few hours. For this reason 110‘ home in which there are young child- ren should be without a box of Baby's Own Tablets, which promptly cure all stomach and bowol trou- bles. If the Tablets are given to a well child they will prevent these ail.- ments and keep the little one well and strong. Mrs. Joseph T. Pigeon, Bryson, Que, says: “My little one was attacked with colic and diarrh-. oea, and I found Baby's Own Tab-i lets so satisfactory that I would not! now be without them in the house.” These Tablets not only cure summer troubles, but all the minor ailments that afflict infants and young child- ren. They contain no opiate or harmful drug, and may be given with equal safety to the new born baby or well grown child. There are imi-I tations of the medicine and mothers should see that the words “Baby's Own Tablets" and the four-leaf clo- ver with child’s head on each leaf is. found on the wrapper around each dauntless lady slew sevenbox.
