Marmalades and Preserves. 
Marmalades and fruit compotes are 
largely taking the place of jelly, as all 
kinds of fruit can be used; and more 
of the fruit flavor is retained in a mar¬ 
malade than in the juice only as used 
for jelly, if too long boiling is avoided. 
Whole fruit or fruit juice boiled beyond

a certain period with sugar, deteriorates 
in both flavor and color. One simple 
process will serve for all kinds of mar¬ 
malade, and that is to cook the fruit in 
its own juice to a state of collapse. Then 
press through a colander, measure, bring 
to a boil, and skim, before adding the 
sugar—measure for measure. Cook with 
care after the sugar scum begins to 
thicken. When the juice rolls up a jelly 
on a cold silver spoon, the marmalade is 
ready for pint can, or for glasses, covered 
when cold with one-fourth inch, at the 
least, of hot paraffin. All the small 
fruits make delicious marmalades when 
pressed throng a fine colander or sieve 
to remove the seeds. Grapes and black¬ 
berries do not require full measure for 
measure of sugar. Plums are easily 
converted into a palatable marmalade 
after removing the pits, but they are 
more easily made into preserves, the 
same as peaches, and quinces; both are 
too good for marmalades. 
By the following method clingstone 
peaches can be utilized, also imperfect 
14 and 16 yeacs. 
pears and quinces. Pare the peaches and 
cut into pieces as small as a cherry, pack 
into a measuring dish and note the 
amount. Add water to prevent burning 
and cook thoroughly before adding the 
sugar—measure for measure. Boil with 
care the same as for marmalade, and 
place in airtight cans. To be eaten just 
before strawberries are ripe, and thus 
prevent all possibility of eating unripe 
strawberries. This simple preserving 
measure is undoubtedly old, but as far 
the present writer is concerned it is orig¬ 
inal, and was used last Fall (1905) in 
making .use of clingstone peaches. This 
year sour red cherries were treated the 
same with most satisfactory results. 
Pears and plums are to be tints treated. 
Plums make acceptable sauce during 
March and April. Another experiment 
is to be made with quinces and just 
enough of pieplant to give a tart to the 
quince flavor. Fruit mixtures containing 
raisins and orange peel are for those who 
like the flavor of orange, which is so 
strongly aromatic that it always predom¬ 
inates over the flavor of whatever fruit 
has been used as a basis, and soon palls 
upon the appetite—just as the flavor of 
hard soap might fail to remain appetiz¬ 
ing after repeated servings. Tastes differ, 
just as methods differ for the making of 
marmalades and preserves.

The Bookshelf. 
Sanitary and Applied Chemistry, by 
Prof. E. H. S. Bailey of the University 
of Kansas. This is a text-book on the 
chemistry of water, air and food, deal¬ 
ing with the applied chemistry of daily 
life. T he chapters upon purification of 
water supplies, disposal of sewage, dis¬ 
infectants, deodorants and antiseptics, 
food values and accessories, possess a 
general interest that makes them of much 
value, and the book will be found of 
interest to the many students who, out¬ 
side of the class-room continue their edu¬ 
cation in hours of leisure. Published by 
the Macmillan Company, New York; 
345 pages; price $1.40. 
Mexican Eggs. —Peel and chop four 
or five ripe tomatoes and lay them in a 
shallow vegetable dish or on a platter on 
which the peppers are to be served. 
Remove the stems and seeds from six 
or eight very tender peppers, and if de¬ 
sired, the skins can be peeled off in this 
way. Put them into a dry frying pan 
over a moderate fire, moving them often 
until they are sufficiently wilted to al¬ 
low the removal of the skins. This done, 
put a small bit of cheese in each pepper 
and return them to the pan with a good 
lump of butter. Fry them gently so the 
butter will not scorch. When done pour 
three well-beaten eggs slightly salted into 
the pan with the peppers and when set 
take them up by the spoonful—a pepper 
in each—and lay them on the chopped 
tomatoes. Tt is a decorative as well-as 
palatable dish and is prepared with very 
little trouble. mrs. l. m. white.
