Seasonable Recipes. 
Canned Strawberries.—Fill a quart jar 
with large, ripe berries, from which the 
hulls have been taken; till the jar with 
cold water; then pour it out again into 
a measure. For every twelve jars to be 
put up use thirteen of these measures of 
water and in it dissolve six pounds of 
sugar. Pack the jar with berries as close¬ 
ly as possible without mashing them. Fill 
each jar up to the shoulder with syrup, 
cover it loosely with the lid and set it in 
32 to 42 bust. 
a large boiler, which should have a loose¬ 
ly fitting wooden bottom pierced with 
holes. If set on the metal bottom the 
jafs are liable to crack. When the boiler 
is full of jars pour in cold water up to 
their shoulders; cover it and set it on the 
fire. At the same time put the surplus 
syrup in a saucepan and allow it to be¬ 
come hot. As soon as the water in the 
boiler begins to boil note the time, and 
when it has boiled for eight minutes re¬ 
move the boiler from the fire. Take out 
one jar at a time, fill it even with the hot 
syrup in the saucepan, fasten it airtight 
and stand it back in the boiler until all 
are filled and covered; let them stand 
there until cold, and then store in a cool 
place. 
Strawberry and Currant Jam.—To 
every pound of fruit allow three-quarters 
of a pound of sugar, also one pint of red 
currant juice to every four pounds of the 
berries. Boil the currant juice with the 
strawberries for half an hour, stirring all 
the time, then add the sugar and boil 20

minutes longer, skimming carefully. Put 
in small jars or tumblers with paraffin on 
top. The currant juice may be omitted. 
Raspberry and Currant Bar-le-Duc.— 
To four pounds of raspberries add one 
pound of currants; bruise the currants 
and strain the,juice; add to it three-quar¬ 
ters of a pound of sugar to each pound of 
juice, including the weight of the berries 
left whole. Boil 20 minutes and skim, add 
the raspberries, cook twenty minutes 
more. When the syrup jellies on a plate, 
take off and place in glasses or small jars 
while hot. 
Spiced Currants.—Make a syrup of 
three pounds of sugar, one pint of vine¬ 
gar and water, half and half, two table- 
spoonfuls of cinnamon, one tablespoonful 
of cloves, half a teaspoonful of salt; add 
six pounds of washed, drained, stemmed 
currants and boil half an hour. Seal in 
jars. 
Mock Cherry Jelly.—Cut red-tinted rhu¬ 
barb in pieces until you have a gallon. 
Gather a quart cup pressed full of cherry 
leaves, wash and put to boil with the rhu¬ 
barb for half an hour. Strain off the 
juice and make as other jelly. Has the 
flavor of cherries. 
The Rural Patterns. 
Simple waists made in surplice style and 
worn with chemisettes of linen or made in 
lingerie style are exceedingly fashionable. 
The waist figured consists of the fitted 
foundation, which is closed at the center 
front, fronts and backs. The back is 
tucked from shoulders to waist line, the 
fronts to yoke depth. The chemisette 
is separate and arranged under the fronts, 
closed at the back. The sleeves are full 
both at the shoulders and the wrists, 
where they are finished with shaped cuffs. 
The quantity of material required for the 
medium size is 3E> yards 21. 3 T 4 yards 27 
or 1% yard 44 inches wide, with H 
yards in any width for chemisette and 2Rj 
yards of banding. The pattern 4931 is 
cut in sizes for a 32, 34, 36, 38, 40 and 
42-inch bust measure; price 10 cents. 
•Skirts in round length that touch, or 
just a little more than touch the floor, 
make one of the most fashionable models 
for all indoor occasions and for the 
handsome street suits. No. 4930 is exceed¬ 
ingly graceful and simple in the extreme, 
and is adapted to all materials that are 
soft enough to take graceful folds. The 
skirt is cut in five eores and is laid in 
three tucks of generous width. The upper 
edge is shirred to give the effect of a 
shallow yoke, and the fulness is so dis¬ 
tributed as to give less at front, more at 
sides and back. The quantity of material 
required for medium size is 9 yards 21, 
714 yards 27 or 44 yards 44 inches wide 
The pattern 4930 is cut in sizes for a 22, 
24, 26, 28, 30 and 32-inch waist measure ; 
price 10 cents. 
The Bookshelf. 
Paper Bound Novels.— The 25-cent se¬ 
ries of paper-bound novels issued by the 
Macmillan Company continues to offer 
rt this price standard copyright fiction. 
One of the recent issues is “The History 
of David Grieve,” by Mrs. Humphry 
Ward, a very strong study of the develop¬ 
ment of character. Mrs. Ward easily 
stands at the head of contemporary wo¬ 
men novelists, and this cheap reprint will 
be welcome. Another volume in this se¬ 
ries is “The Garden of a Commuter’s 
Wife,” which is as delightful at a second 
or third reading as at a first. 
The Dark Side of the Beef Trust, by 
FTerrhan Hirschauer; published by Theo¬ 
dore Z. Root, Jamestown, N. Y.; 160 
pages; paper, 50 cents; cloth, 75 cents. 
The object of this work is said to be to 
“warn the people as to the dangers lurk¬ 
ing in the food which the Beef Trust says 
we must eat or starve.” Speaking of that 
special type of beef known as the “can- 
ner,” it is asserted that the old, crippled 
and distempered cattle, which were for¬ 
merly killed and buried are now picked up 
and sold for food. This is a unique book, 
well peppered with exclamation points and 
hair-raising statements tending to create 
a resolution on the part of the reader to 
raise his own meat or become a vege¬ 
tarian. 
Riding and Driving, by E. L. Anderson 
and P. Collier; 441 pages; 138 illustra¬ 
tions; Macmillan Company, New York. 
This is a volume of the American Sports¬ 
man’s Library, edited by Caspar Whitney, 
and is a commendable addition to horse¬ 
man’s literature. The history and breed¬ 
ing of the saddle horse, his care, and the 
chapters on driving are particularly good. 
The illustrations are excellent. Price $2, 
net; postage 20 cents additional. 
Farm Buildings; The Sanders Pub¬ 
lishing Co., Chicago, Ill.; 185 pages; fully 
illustrated. Every useful type of farm 
building is here described in ample de¬ 
tail, and the farmer cannot fail to find 
very much interest and profit in this well- 
written and neatly made up book. Price, 
from this office, $2, postpaid.
