THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
731 
forn decided that it is nothing less than 
waste to treat this as refuse matter. 
Bs' putting the drained fruit through, 
the colander to remove skins and seed.s, 
and adding sugar (and in some cases 
spices as well) to taste, a delicious mar¬ 
malade will result, dainty enough to 
set before the most critical guest. Or 
if the fruit has first been peeled, cored, 
and otherwise prepared as for canning, 
it is only necessary to make r. syrup of 
sugar and water in the usual propor¬ 
tions, and add the fruit (which you 
have taken care not to over-cook) 
merely allowing it to heat through well 
before canning. This of course applies 
only to highly-flavored and firm-meated 
fruits, such as pineapple, quinces, 
plums, etc. 
To illustrate and thereby prove my 
point, let me tell you the tale of a pine¬ 
apple and a half peck of apples, which 
were the victims of experiment on my 
part. First the pineapple was washed, 
then carefully pared, cored, quartered 
and sliced as for canning, and put over 
to cook in a little water hut no sugar. 
The peelings, eyes and core of the pine¬ 
apple were then chopped fine and added 
to the half peck of apples, which had 
been washed, cut in pieces and carefully 
inspected for worms. The pineapple 
having by this time boiled up well I 
drained it through the colander, and 
added the juice thus obtained to the 
prepared apples and pineapple peelings, 
and this in turn was cooked until the 
peelings were soft. The combination 
was then put into the jelly bag and left 
to drip awhile. 
In the meantime I made a syrup of 
114 cupful of sugar and two-thirds cup¬ 
ful of w'ater, and when it had boiled up 
well I added the sliced pineapple, 
heated it through thoroughly and filled 
my can in the usual way. When the 
apple juice was ready I boiled it 20 
minutes, added sugar in the usual pro¬ 
portion and treated it as other jelly. 
The drained fruit I slipped from the 
jelly bag into the colander and rubbed 
it through to extract the refuse, added 
sugar, almost as much as I had of fruit, 
and cooked for a moment to blend w'ell. 
As the result of my experiment I had 
a pint can of preserved pineappl'^, 
which proved to be just as good as 
though it had not first paid toll to the 
jelly bag; six tumblers of clear re 1 
pineapple jelly, and a quantity of deli¬ 
cately flavored pineapple marmalade, 
which is as good as it sounds. I had 
also demonstrated the truth of my sus¬ 
picions that jelly-makers throw away 
much good material, and that pineap¬ 
ples (even the portions considered as 
refuse) make a jelly too delicious to be 
longer a stranger to the average jelly 
loset. M.\X1)K E. S.\IITII IIYMEJR3. 
Corn-kernel Portieres. 
Choose medium-sized, short-grained 
corn and soak in water until soft enough 
to string, says the Modern Priscilla. 
Add a few drops of carbolic acid to the 
water to prevent the attacks of in,sects. 
Keep each color separate. Besides the 
reds, yellow's and white of the natural 
corn, other colors can be obtained by 
dyeing. When gold and other metallic 
jiaints are used, they should be applied 
after the corn is strung. Reds, rich 
browns, gold, and yellow combine nicely 
together. Green and white, blue and 
white, and gold and white are also ef¬ 
fective. 
String the corn on strong double 
thread, using a sharp needle and string 
each color separately. .After stringing, 
hang the corn in the air until it is as 
hard and dry as in its natural state. 
Weave in a frame if possible, as the 
work will be more even. Tack furni¬ 
ture braid at the top of the frame for 
a foundation. With a needle and strong 
thread fasten one end of a string of 
corn in the left corner, then count off 
four grains and fasten about one inch 
from the end. Continue in this way 
until the work is the desired width. 
Then begin again, fastening at the 
lower end of the first half diamond 
W'hich has been formed, and weave 
through all the half diamonds in the 
same way, counting off four grains as 
before. This will form open diamonds 
of eight grains each. To make the work 
less open count off tw'o grains instead 
of four; this arrangement is better in 
making screens. Continue weaving as 
described until the work is of the de¬ 
sired length, arranging the colors ac¬ 
cording to taste. Make a fringe by 
counting off eight or ten grains and 
fasten one of these lengths to about 
every third grain in the sloping sides. 
To make a heavier fringe, count off 
more corn and double the lengths. In 
weaving a portion, gradually slope one 
aide until the work curves to-a rounded 
point.

The Rural Patterns, 
The long pleated coat shown will be 
both comfortable and becoming for a 
young girl. It is equally sxiitablc as part 
<n' a suit, or as a separate garment. The 
coat is made with full length fronts and 
backs and a skirt portion that is joined 
to them beneath the belt and pleats. The 
box pleats at the center are laid in, but 
those from the shoulders and at the 
back are ?’-plied. At the neck is a flat 
collar and a pointed belt is worn at the 
waist. The sleeves are pleated above the 
elbows but form full puffs below that 
point and are finished with roll-over 
4500 Misses’ Box Plaited Coet, 
12 to 16 yrs. 
flare cuffs. The quantity of material re¬ 
quired for the medium size is 6^4 yards 
27 inches wide, 3^4 yards 44 inches wide 
or 314 yards 52 inches wide. The coat 
pattern No. 4500 is cut in sizes for girls 
of 12, 14 and 16 years of age; price 10 
cents from this office. 
A desirable style for flannel or wash 
waists is the one shown. The waist con¬ 
sists of the fitted foundation which can 
be used or omitted as preferred, the 
fronts and the back. The back is plain, 
being smoothly drawn down in gathe'^s 
at the waist line, but the front is tucked 
at the shoulders and gathered at the 
waist line to pouch slightly over the 
belt. The sleeves are tucked at their 
upper portions but form full puffs below 
the elbows and are gathered into straight 
(iiffs at the wrists. The quantity of ma¬ 
terial required for the medium size is, 
414 yards 21 inches wide, four yards 27 
inches wide, 3% yards 32 inches wide or 
214 yards 44 inches wide. The pattern 
No. 4501 is cut in sizes for a 32, 34, 36, 
38 and 40-inch bust measure; price lO 
cents from this office. 
Stove Hoedeks. —A convenient and 
quickly-made holder to use around the 
kitchen stove is formed by taking men’s 
worn socks, cutting off the upper parts 
and doubling them, then running them 
together across once or twice. They 
are light and agreeable to use. 
AUNT RAUIIEE. 
The Awkwakd Boy. —The awkward 
boy on the farm suffers; there are few 
to tell him ugly boys make handsome 
men if so minded. Few farm parents 
study their boys and endeavor to make 
ihe best of the boy’s points. A pig may 
be worthy of development, but a boy 
grows just as it happens, and then some¬ 
times father and mother are sadly dis¬ 
appointed and go to tracing the boy’s 
failings to “back stock.” A boy needs 
everyday watching and training just as 
much as the valued colt, yes, and a 
great deal more. He needs to be told 
that he is dear; he needs pruning no 
doubt, but he needs love at every turn. 
Boys are restless; they think they are 
awkward and ugly. They cannot real¬ 
ize their own possibilities, and who tells 
them they will emerge from this chry¬ 
salis stage into fine-looking men who 
will be admired and loved by somebody, 
and respected by everyone if only he 
so will? There are more who take de¬ 
light in poking fun at boys than there 
are who seek to encourage them. 
MYRON B. 
SCOTT’S EMULSION 
makes pale, thin children fat 
and chubby. Overcomes 
wasting tendencies and brings 
back rosy cheeks and bright 
eyes. 
It’s surprising how quickly 
children respond to Scott’s 
Emulsion. It contains just 
the element of nourishment 
their little bodies need. They 
thrive on it. 
Even a few drops in the 
baby’s bottle have a notice¬ 
able effect for good. Nothing 
better than Scott’s Emulsion 
for growing children.
