Some Pickle Heclpes. 
Plaase give me a good pickle recipe for 
spiced vinegar pickles, cucumbers, something 
that will keep through the Winter. 
Missouri. mrs. c. h. 
This is our recipe for spiced pickles, 
small cucumbers being used: Wash and 
wipe; place in jars, and cover with boil¬ 
ing brine strong enough to bear an egg. 
Let stand 24 hours; pour off the brine, 
wipe, and place in clean jars. Cover with 
hot vinegar, spiced in the proportion of 
one onion, 12 whole cloves, one ounce of 
mustard seed and three blades of mace 
to 100 cucumbers. They will be ready 
to use in two weeks. 
If mustard pickles are desired the fol¬ 
lowing is a quick and easy way given 
by Mrs. Ryman-Gaillard: Put a gallon 
of vinegar and one cupful, each, of salt 
and mustard into a two gallon crock; 
pick small, quickly grown cucumbers; rub 
off the black specks, and put into vine¬ 
gar. In a few days the pickles are ready 
for use. Some people add a cup of sugar 
and one of grated horseradish to the 
above recipe, but it is a matter of taste, 
as neither is necessary to the keeping 
quality of the pickles. Each time cu¬ 
cumbers are added to those in the crock 
all should be well stirred up from the 
bottom. It is a good plan to put a quart 
of vinegar with its proper proportion of 
salt and mustard into a two-quart glass 
can, and fill in cucumbers for immediate 
use. 
For a good pickle without mustard: 
Put a teacupful of salt and a tablespoon¬ 
ful of powdered alum into a gallon of 
vinegar. Pick small cucumbers and pour 
a weak brine over them, boiling hot. Let 
stand over night; drain, and put into 
prepared vinegar. Add cucumbers as 
convenient, and when as many have been 
put into the vinegar as it will cover scald 
them up, and put into fresh vinegar, to 
which has been added a little red pepper 
and horseradish. 
This is a very simple recipe that gives 
excellent satisfaction: Dissolve one pint 
of salt in one gallon vinegar. Wash the 
cucumbers and pour over them some boil¬ 
ing water, let stand five or 10 minutes, 
drain, pack closely in cans, pour the salted 
vinegar over them and seal. They are 
very crisp and nice, and keep as long as 
you will let them. 
Mustard Pickles.—This differs from 
most recipes for this pickle in being made 
without green tomato. Put one-half peck 
small cucumbers, two quarts silver skin¬ 
ned onions, and two heads of picked caul¬ 
iflower to soak in water to cover and a 
cupful of salt over night. In the morn¬ 
ing drain; mix one dessertspoonful of 
turmeric powder with three-quarters of a 
pound of best mustard; wet with suffi¬ 
cient vinegar to mix without lumps. Put 
three quarts of vinegar over the fire, add 
five cents’ worth of mixed pickling spices, 
one-half ounce celery seed, one half ounce 
white mustard seed, one teaspoon fill each 
of cinnamon and cloves, one pound of 
brown sugar, carefully stir in the mustard 
and turmeric paste and let boil up well; 
then add the mixed pickles, two red pep¬ 
pers chopped with the seeds of same, and 
stir all together. After it begins to bub¬ 
ble let boil well for five minutes. 
Sweet Cucumber Pickle.—Cut large yel¬ 
low cucumbers in two lengthwise and 
cover with alum water, allowing a tea¬ 
spoonful of powdered alum to each pint 
of water. Bring the alum water and 
fruit very slowly to a boil, and then 
draw the kettle containing them to the 
back of the range and leave it there for 
two hours. At the end of that time take 
out the cucumbers and rinse thoroughly 
in cold water and chill in ice water. Boil 
together two cupfuls of vinegar, two 
pounds of sugar and two tablespoonfuls 
each of stick cinnamon and whole cloves 
tied up in a bag. Put in the cucumbers 
and cook 10 minutes. Then turn into a 
stone jar. Drain off the syrup and scald 
it for three successive mornings, pouring 
it hot oyer the cucumbers each time. 
English Chow-Chow.—This calls for 
two medium-sized heads of firm white 
4% yards 32, 2-54 yards 44 inches wide if 
it has not, with 54 yard of additional

cabbage, half a peck of green tomatoes, 
two quarts of firm ripe tomatoes, half a 
dozen green peppers and two red peppers. 
Chop all together as fine as you can, and 
pack the mixture in layers of salt. Put

it in a coarse Jjag of burlap or some rough 
material. Lay it over a rack placed upon 
a deep keg or jar and put a heavy press 
upon it. Let it drain in this way over 
night, or for 24 hours. A pint and a half 
of sugar, half a cup of grated horserad¬ 
ish, half a teaspoonful of ground black 
pepper, half an even teaspoonful of 
ground mustard, an ounce of white mus¬ 
tard seed, an ounce of celery seed, a 
tablespoonful of ground mace and, fin¬ 
ally, a gill of Dutch mustard compose the 
seasonings and must be added to the mix¬ 
ture. After it has drained sufficiently 
moisten the whole with enough good cider 
vinegar scantily to cover it. This chow- 
chow requires no cooking and does not 
have to be put up in sealed jars. A 
stone crock is all sufficient, if kept in a 
cold, dry place.

tern 5718 is cut in sizes for misses of 14 
and 16 years of age; price 10 cents. 
A very popular model is shown in No.

and is laid in a box-plait at each edge of 
the front gore with inverted plaits at the 
center, while at the sides and back it is 
laid in backward-turning plaits. All 
of these are stitched flat well below the 
hips so that there is no appreciable bulk 
at that point, while their fullness means 
abundant and graceful flare at the lower 
portion. The folds are applied at speci¬ 
fied distances from the lower edge and 
are stitched to position. The quantity of 
material required for the medium size is 
8'54 yards 27 or 32 or 5J4 yards 44 inches

Prune thou thy words: the thoughts control 
That o’er thee swell and throng;— 
They will condense within thy soul, 
And change to purpose strong. 
But he who lets his feelings run 
In soft, luxurious flow. 
Shrinks when hard service must be done, 
And faints at every woe. 
Faith's meanest deed more favor bears. 
Where hearts and wills are weighed, 
Than brightest transports, choicest prayers, 
Which bloom their hour and fade.
