Sweeten to taste and stir over the fire until the sugar is melted, but do not allow it to boil. A lump of butter can be ad- ded, and a teaspoonful of lemon juice. Set aside to cool. Apple sauce made in this way is much better than that made from the peeled fruit. If seal- ed up while hot this will keep through the winter, when the raw fruit is scarce and expensive. In this case, however, do not add the butter. a cup of sugar, or less if preferred, and heat just long enough to dissolve the sugar thoroughly. Bottle while boiling hot in sterilized bottles.

Thus roasted meat should be avoided when butchers' prices are high. It's too good to lose altogether, though. For cleaning plated parts of cycles use two ounces of turpentine, eight ounces of prepared chalk, one ounce of alcohol, two drachms of liquid am- monia, mixed well together and appli- ed with a sponge. Let the mixture dry on, then polish with a dry cloth. To remove labels from furniture, glass, marble. leather, in fact from anything, without the slightest mark or damage, cut a piece of blotting- paper the size of the label you wish to remove, dip it in cold water and lay it on the label, leave it on for a little while,.then take it up and the label One day a stranger entered the shop. Mildew stains may be removed from leather articles quite easily if the part is rubbed with vaseline, then after a day or so wiped with a soft clean rag. To remove match scratches from white paint rub with half a lemon, then wash with a paste of whiting and wat- er. Dry thoroughly, and the marks will disappear. Articles of glass and brie a-brac can be mended with a preparation of five parts of gelatine to one part of a solu- tion of bichromate of potash. Cover the broken edges with this and press together, then place in direct sunlight for a few hours. When you get through using your wringer take a piece of cloth and wet with kerosene, and rub the rolls well with it. They will come just as clean and white as when new. Repeat every week after washing. New patent leather shoes rubbed all over with a little vaseline put on with a piece of soft funnel, and polished, will never eraek. Patent leather should be kept in a warm dry place, and should not be worn on wet days. To prevent startehed articles stick- ing to the iron add a pinch of salt and I little lump of lard to the boiled starch. Scrubbing brushes should always be hung up when not in use, so that the bristles have a chance of drying. They will last far longer if treated in this way. When any white fabric becomes yel- low boil it in wnter that has been blued and to which the Juice of a lemon has been added. Iron handkerchiefs in the middle first and the edges can then be ironed more easily. If the edges be ironed first the middle will swell out and the handkerchief cannot be folded in a good shape. When crocheting, it is a good idea to slip a safety pin through the last stitch before laying the crocheting down. This makes it impossible for the stitch to slip out. A little vaseline" applied to stiff leather boots will make them easy and comfortable. The vaseline should be rubbed into the leather with a piece of flannel" If the boiler immediately after use, and while still warm, is rubbed all over with any good household soap it will prevent rust, and will help to make the suds when the boiler is filled for the next washing day. If new enamel saucepans are plac- ed in a pan of warm water, allowed to come to the boil, and then cool, they will be found to last much longer be- fore either cracking or burning. When the mincing machine needs oiling use a drop of glycerine. This will prevent any risk of disagreeable taste or smell, and will make the ma- chine work easily.

"They'll only be a few doors " then," said Mrs. Banks, 'and it'll be nice for you to have a woman in the house to look after you." "It's like his impudenee," said the captain.' "But Elizabeth's getting on, and I don't seem to go," continued the old lady, as though mildly surprised at Providence for its unaccountable de- lay; "and there's Fred, he ain't getting younger." "He'd better let me hear him," said the uncle, flereely; "leaatways, o' course, he's tired o' waiting, in a sense. He'd like to be married." "There's young Bigson," said Mrs. Banks, in a thrilling whisper. Captain Barber puffed at his pipe. "None of us are," he said, profoundly. "And Fred might get tired of wait- ing," said Mrs. Banks, ruminating. Mrs. Banks shifted in her chair, and gazed thoughtfully down the garden. "Of course, my idea was for them to wait till I was gone," she said at length. "Well, she won't have to," said the old man; 'when they marry and Eliza- beth comes here, I shan’t want a housekeeper-d shall get rid of her'." Captain Barber nodded acquiessence. "Elizabeth would never live in a house with that woman, or any other Woman. as house-keeper in it," said the mother. "I was thinking of my clatter," said Mrs. Banks, smoothing down her apron majestically. "The arrange- ment was, I think, that when they were married they was to live with you "it's nice to have a woman about the house," continued Captain Barber, slowly, "it makes it more homelike. A slip of a servant-girl ain't no good at all." . "My ideas are Fred's ideas," said Uncle Barber, somewhat sharply. “What. I like he has to like, naturally." "How does Mrs. Banks. With a view, perhaps, of giving his guest further amusement he patted the housekeeper's hand again, where- upon Mrs. Banks' laughter ceased, and she sat regarding Mrs, Church with a petrified stare, met by that lady with a glance of haughty disdain. 'S'pose we go into the garden a bit t" suggested Barber, uneasily. The two ladies had eyed each other for three minutes without blinking, and his own eyes were watering in sym- pathy. Mrs. Banks, secretly glad of the in-. terruption, made one or two vague re- marks about going home, bat after much persuasion, allowed him to lead her into the garden, the solemn Eliza- beth bringing up the rear with a has- sock and a couple of cushions. "Yes, I wonder I never thought of it before," said the artful Barber; "you wouldn't believe how comfort- able it is." ly, f‘I'm glad you’re enjoying your- self, ma/am," said Captain Barber, lofsily. "it's a new thing for you having a housekeeper," observed Mrs. Banks, after her daughter had returned to the house to assist in washing up. “And they'll live with you juz-t the "I dare say," said Mrs. Banks, grim, q" The Bride's Name; CHAPTER V.-lont'd). Or. The Adventures of Captain Fraser Fred like it?" inquired TORONTO The skipper, summarising the chief points in Ben's character, which, ow- ing principally to the poverty of the English language bore a remarkable likeness to Joe's and the mate's, took his sock and boot in his hand, and gaining the deck, limped painfully to the cabin. The foot was so painful after tea that he could hardly bear his slipper on, and he went ashore in his working clothes to the chemisti's, preparatory "Well, if it was my toe, sir," said Joe, regarding it respect! My, "I should stick it in a basin o' béiling water and keep it there as long as I could bear it." The old seaman scratched his head. "Well, it it belonged to me," he said, slowly, "there's some ointment down the fo'e'tr'le which the cook 'ad for sore eyes. I should just put some o' that on. It looks good stuff." I Elizabeth, who came down the gar-I lden again a little later, accompanied? I by Mrs. Church, recieved the news; 'stolidly. A feeling of regret that thel 1 attentions of the devoted Gibson must' now cease certainly occurred to her,; but she never thought of contesting' the arrangements made for her, and' g accepted the situation with a placidity’ !which the more ardent Barber was ut-l t'erly unable to understand. V "If you hadn't been holding your head in the air, and pretending that I wasn't here, it wouldn't have happen- ed," said Fraser, with some heat. "Youie a fool." said the skipper, briefly. "What do you think of it, Ben? I don't think it's broken." The skipper turned his back on him, and meeting a look of inquiring solici- tude from Joe, applied to him for ad- vice. "What had I better do with asked. - “She'll live to be ninety," said Cap- tain Barber, heartily. "Oh, easily," mutt Mrs. Church. Captain Barber regarding his old friend saw her face suffused with a wrath for which he was utterly un- able to account. With a hazy idea that something had passed which he had not heard, he caused a diversion by sending Mrs. Church indoors for a pack of cards, and solemnly celebrat- ed the occasion with a game of whist, at which Mrs. Church, in partnership with Mrs. Banks, either through sheer wilfulness or absence of mind, contriv- ed to lose every game. "I hope you'll live to see a lot more," said Mrs. Church, piously. "We shall have him standing on his head, too," said Mrs. Church with a bright smile; "you're turning every- thing upside down, Mrs. Banks." "There's things as wants altering," said the old lady, with emphasis. "There's few things as I don't see, ma'am." “It'll be nice for" you, too," said Mrs. Banks, with a side trlane6 at the house- keeper; "you'll have somebody to look after you and take an interest in you, and strangers ean't be expected to do that, even if they are nice." "He'll go singing about the house," declared Mrs. Church. Mrs. Banks. regarded her unfavor- ably. "He's never said much," continued Uncle Barber, in an exalted strain; "that ain't Fred's way.
