A few well-selected varieties of pickles and relishes, not too difficult to , prepare and that will serve for all purposes, should be found in every cellar or storeroom. All of the fol- lowing recipes can be prepared late in fall after the heat and rush of sum- mer work. Vegetables and 'fruit for pickling should be in perfect condition, the vinegar of good quality, and the spices fresh and pungent. A porcelain-lined or agate kettle should be used for the cooking, and the stirring spoons should be wood, silver or agateware to prevent any chemical change when they come in contact with acids. Many recipes call for alum and other chemicals to preserve the color of the pickles, but these are all more or less harmful and should not be used. Try lining the kettle and cover- ing the vegetables with cabbage or grape leaves during the scalding pro- cess. A late planting of cucumbers will afford a supply of pickle-size gherkins late in summer, or the cu- cumbers may be gathered early and kept in a medium brine until wanted. CHOPPED RAW PICKLE. Chopped raw pickle requires two quarts of chopped tomatoes (that are just beginning to redden), two cup- fuls of grated horseradish, two heads of celery, chopped, two, green peppers, cleaned of fibre and seeds and chopped, one quart of vinegar, one cupful of brown sugar, two-thirds of a cupful of salt, one-third of a cupful of white mustard-seed, one cupful of nastur- tium seed. Sprinkle the salt over the vege- tables and let stand 24 hours. Drain, add the other ingredients and mix thoroughly. Put in a large earthen- ware jar, cover and put in cool place. Stir every day for a week, adding more vinegar if necessary to keep covered. SPICED GRAPES, For spiced grapes, use eight pounds of grapes, four pounds of sugar, three cupfuls of vinegar, four stick of cin- namon, one ounce of whole cloves, two blades of mace. Remove skins from grapes by squeezing between thumb and fore- finger. Set the skins aside and cook the pulp until the seeds can be re- moved by straining through cheese- cloth or strainer. Return pulp to the stove, add the skins and when this mixture has simmered about ten min- utes add the other ingredients (having the spices tied in a cheesecloth bag). Cook until shiny and as 'thick as jam. "Put in sterilized jars ,and seal. MUSTARD PICKLES. Mustard pickles are a little trouble- some but are delicious and well repay the time spent on them. The recipe here given will make three gallons of pickles. For 24 hours soak three quarts each of small cucumbers, sliced green to- matoes,- button onions, caulifiower (broken into flowerets), six green pep- . pers cut into strips and one cupful of pasturtium seeds, in a brine made of four quarts of water and one pint of jalt. Drain well and scald in a mix- ture of one part vinegar to three parts : ey world. -- Try it. |S me its mildewed cover was the infernal In a trance of fear, Wombold open- ed its yellowed leaves. His own hand- writing stared up at him out of the ) past, over a guilt-haunted of forty years, With a thick h, the old man fell back upon his pil in a dead faint. 'Almost as frightened as his master, Otu ran into the hallway crying for help. He was met almost instantly by Miss Armitage, who pressed by him into the room. "Get the housekeeper! Get some hot water!" she ordered as she saw Wom- bold's white face against the pillows. Otu ran to obey. In a few moments he returned with Mrs. Crane, the housekeeper, followed by one of the maids with a pitcher of hot water. Miss Armitage's vigorous measures were already restoring a semblance of animation to the master's bloodless visage, His hands stirred feebly, and presently he opened his eyes. Mrs. Crane who had mixed a stiff dose of whiskey and hot water, brought it to the bedside, and Wombold revived under the potion; but with restored consciousness his nervous terror also began to return. He caught Miss Armitage"s hand. "Where is it?" he begged. is the book?" The girl shook her head. "Don't think of it now," she said. "Don't think of anything till morn- ing." "But I must think of it!" he cried. "What was it? Where has it gone? Was it the ghost of a book? Didn't you see it?" He turned to Otu. "Sure, I see," agreed the Japanese with the following sauce: One large cupful of flour, six table- spoonfuls of dry mustard, two table spoonfuls of tumeric and sufficient vinegar to make a thin paste, one ounce celery seed, and three pounds of brown sugar, Boil all the ingredients in this sauce until tender. Seal in jars. PLAIN ROLLED COOKIES. One cup sugar, % oud. shortening, 1 egg, 1% tsps. vanilla, 2 tsps. baking powder, pinch of salt, % cup milk, % cup currants, flour to make rather stiff dough. . Cream together the sugar apd short- ening. Add to this the well-beaten egg; the flavoring and the milk. The currants should be added while knead- ing the dough.

These are delicious additions to the school children's lunch boxes.

The advent of fall brings with it the delicious ripe grapes, and many are pondering how 'they may preserve them for winter use. These recipes are all very tasty and you will like them this winter. Grape Preserves--Rinse grapes in cold water and drain. Squeeze out the pulp from each grape and heat it gradually, cooking until the seeds tome out easily. Press through a sieve just fine enough to keep back the seeds. Cook the skins and the pulp ten minutes and add an equal amount of sugar, cooking until the liquid thickens. Store in earthen 'or glass jars. This also makes a fine filling for cakes. Grape Catsup--Cover two quarts of grapes with vinegar and cook until soft. Press through a sieve and add one cup of sugar,.one tablespoonful of cinnamon, one teaspoonful each of cloves and allspice, and a little cay- enne, Cook slowly until thick and store in bottles. Grape Julce--Weigh the grapes and for each ten pounds use three pounds cf-sugar. Cook the grapes in a por- celain kettle with five pints of water to a peck of grapes. Cover and bring, slowly to the boiling point, stirring oceasionally. 'When boiling hot, turn| into a heavy bag and let drain, Add the sugar and heat again to the bail- ing point.

An excellent way to vary the roast slightly from the first day, -especially if it is veal, or lamb, is to follow this method: Put the roast into a covered recep- tacle, standing it on a wire rack with feet. Put water in the bottom of the container and steam the roast briskly for half an hour. This may be done on top of the stove. Then uncover, set in a hot oven, and dry off for ten minutes more. In putting the meat above the hot water, it does not lose its juices, and remains moist. If the wire rack is not at hand, the set upon an open wire plate support- ed underneath by a bowl, While this process is Kolng on, pre- "a minced onion and a couple of tablespoorifuls of sweet fat into a fry- But by this time Wombold was bab- bling feverishly, paying little atten- tion to those about him.

Am I to be drawn back I'll send it, Henry. He shook off the restraining hands of the women, and would have left his bed for the telephone below stairs, ! if to quiet him, they had not promised to call his lawyer. After some difficulty Miss Armitage succeeded in arousing Mr. Carrington, nd induced him to come to the Wom- bold residence at once.
