Grate the yellow rind from six fresh lemons and stir it with three tablespoonfuls of pow- dered sugar. Squeeze the juice from one dozen lemons and strain out the seeds; remove the pulp from the skins. boil it five minutes in two cupfuls of water, adding the sugar- ed rind; strain, add the juice, mea- sure, allow one and one-fourth cup- fuls of sugar for every cupl‘ul of the liquid, put over the fire; stir until dissolved, boil five minutes, skim and seal hot‘ Spiced Elderberry Syrupâ€"Has the same properties as the above. Make in the same manner, using ginger and nutmeg, with mace and cloves. Spiced Blackberry Syrupâ€"Blackâ€" berry cordial, an old and effective remedy for summer bowel complaint, is objectionable to many mothers beâ€" cause it contains brandy. Used plentifully to flavor drinking water, the syrup here given is an excellent preventive and remedy for such ill- ness, and contains no spirits whatâ€" ever. Mash the fruit, bring slowly to a boil and strain; measure, and allow one heaping cupful of sugar for every pint of juice, one teaspoon- ful each of cinnamon and nutmeg, and half as much cloves and ginger. Tie the spices in a piece of muslin: put all over a slow fire; stir until the sugar is thoroughly dissolved; let boil two minutes: skim, take out the spices, and seal at once. Currant Syrupâ€"Wash, drain on a cloth, and stem rtd currents; place in an earthen or gronitoware vessel, mash thoroughly with a wooden masher. and set in a warm place for twentyâ€"four hours, or until fermentaâ€" tion begins. (This destroys the peeâ€" ‘tin contained in the fruit and pre- vents the syrup from jellying.) Drain the juice through a cheesecloth bag that has been wrung out of hot Water, by suspending the latter over It deep bowl and occasionally pressâ€" ing against the sides with two woodâ€" en ladies or Spoons. Wringing or squeezing is sure to make the syrup cloudy. Measure, allow two pounds of sugar for each pint of juice, set over a slow fire, and stir constantly until every particle of sugar is dis- solved. As soon as it is boiling hot, take from the fire, skim as often as any scum rises, and when cold, pour into jars and seal. Wrap in heavy brown paper and store in a cool, dry place. Make cherry, raspberry, or a combination of raspberry and curâ€"i rant syrup, in the same way. i creams, custards mid various kinds of puddings and other desserts. They require more sugar than jellies, and unlike that consort should be made of perfectly ripe fruit. Use granulated sugar, earthen or granite- ware vessels, and woooen or silver spoons in all the various operations. When done they can be bottled, but are more convenient when kept in pint-size fruit jars. a few small stored fruits, WMDDD3DDDDDDB§3§DDDDW" now To MAKE FRUIT SYRUI’S.

Plain ironing and much other ‘Wol‘k can be done as well seated on a high stool as standing, and at a. great saving of strength to the Worker. The low chair is useful for resting, or for sitting to shell peas or sorting (tux-rants, when it is con- venient to have the bowl on nne’s lap into which to put either one or the other when separated from shells or stalks. Temperature in Sicknessâ€"The orâ€" dinary temperature of an adult when the thermometer is placed in the armpit is 98.4 (leg, in the month, 99.5 deg; the blood is about 100 deg". Fahr. In fevers this is much exceeded, and the heat of the patient may rise to 105 deg. A higher tem- perature than this will generally prove fatal unless it descend very quickly. The highest temperature re- corded have been in some cases of rheumatic fever, when that of the body rose to 109 deg. and even to 111 deg. Doctor Gooseberry fool requires two pounds of gooseberries, three-quar- ters of a pound of loaf sugar, and one gill of water. When the goose- berries are cooked soft rub them through a Wire sieve. To each pint of goosoberry pulp allow half a. pint of boiled custard. Sweeten and serve in a glass dish. The care of spongesâ€"If uszd for soap they should be rinsed out daily, otherwise they are sure to become slimy and most unpleasant. In any case they require-periodical cleaning. Dissolve some borax or soda in warm water, and let the sponge Soak in it for an hour; squeeze it well out, and then rinse in clcan Warm Water. Many people make a habit of putting their sponges outside the window after using them in order that they may air and dry in readi- ness for the next time of using. If you are afraid of lightning, here is a. very simple safeguard to re- member. Simply put on your gum shoes or rubbers, and then stand up so that your clothes Won’t touch anything Whether you are in doors or out of doors you are perfectly safe, for rubber is a non-conductor, and you are perfectly insulated.

When steaming potatoes, put a. cloth over them before putting the lid on. They will take less time to cook and be more mezlly than when done in the ordinary way. Don't scrape a. burnt saucepan.

To keep meat fresh, as soon as you get it cover it with a clean mus- lin cloth wrung tightly through vinegar and set in a cool place When making fruit pies damp the edges of the pastry with milk in- stead of Water.

Dr. Henry M. Smith says that if a room of sixty-eight degrees is not warm enough for any healthy person it is because the hu- midity is too low, and water should be evaporated to bring the moisture up to the right degree. In other words, water instead of coal should be used to make rooms comfortable when the temperature has reached sixtyâ€"eight degrees. As water is cheaper than coal the rule should be- come a popular one. (1i mor and cakx The average humidity in artificialâ€" lyâ€"heated houses is about thirty de- grees; the average temperature, sev- enty to seventyâ€"four degrees.

After all, a little blqu is a great help in dealing with natives. I stood once surrounded by four hundred men who had rifles, each waiting either for me to move or for his neighor to begin the firing. I got one. of the men to bring me a shotâ€"cartridge, and opening it, I sent the handful of shot to the chief, with the message that he would be more likely to hit me if he used that instead of a. bul- “Good morning! How do you do?” I shouted. The chief gave a signal, and 1 put my hands in my pockets to meet the end calmly. The same moment l(.he chief and every man clapped their hands in unison, knelt down and bowed their heads. I also had a “scary” gi‘tzeting from Kasoma, a much-dreaded chief. I set out by boat to visit him, with ‘nine men. When we neared the Vilâ€" lage, and two thousand armed men rushed to the edge of the lake, I found we had left our rifles behind us. With my heart in my mouth, I jumped ashore alone, As I stood be- fore the chief I could see his heart throbbing in his naked chest, and I knee he was in as bad a. way as I myself. One 01' my greatest friends was Mewenge, a chief, but it was some time before we understood each other. He had never seen white men, but 1had heard of them, and when I sent ‘word I was coming, he grew much alarmed. When I went to his tent he rushed out, and seizing me by the arm, slashed his ax over my head into a tree behind me The next minute he pulled up my shirtâ€"sleeve to see if my arm was white. That gave me time to tell him he might ill me if he wanted to, but that it would be more interesting not to. mam Mr. Weatherby, the explorer, has just returned from Africa, where he has been for eleven years, the only white man among hosts of blacks.

Three and a half centuries ago, when the Jesuit Fathers first dis- covered Jewish settlements, they 19 were in a flourishing condition. with 3‘3 synagogues such as that Whose ruins 1‘ still remain at Kai-longâ€"fu, and, though living peaceably among other natives, carefully observing those "3 sharp dividing lines which differen- ‘d tiate the Jew from all other races. ’n Thus they neither made proselytesI from among, nor interâ€"married with, ’r the alien people. They kept the Sab- 0 bath, Passover, Tabernacles, and the w Day of Atonement, together with thel )f ceremonial of the synagogue ser-l {6 vice, wherin the reader of the law’ it was veiled after the example oil 1' Moses, and the males of the congreâ€"i ’t gation covered their heads and put' otl' their shoes on entering the build-i ing.

'3 8 WHEN THEY CAME. ‘ 9 The Chinese Jews knew nothing of.] c what is called in the Gospels “tlie‘ tradition of the elders,” which, in, fact, was no more than the crystalli-i zation or detailed summingâ€"up of. the oral teaching of the past, with‘1 various ceremonial accretions of the ecclesiastically dark ages Which fol-' lowed the time of the last of the prophets. This gathering together‘ and promulgation of the "tradition”‘ took place during the Maccabean per- r"V'l'od, so that the date of the settlewr :ents is thus again put back. The time of Alexander the Great and hisc immediate successors seems, indeetl,5u the most probable era for the ioun- ig dation of the Chinese Jewish colon-in ies, not only because that century was marked by a Very considerable Jewish colonization movementâ€"oi ‘ V which the Alexandria settlement wasfd the most noteworthy and best chron- a icled exampleâ€"but also because the «( Vocabulary of the Chinese Jews wheni discovered by the Jesuits included a large number of Persian Words and derivatives, indicating contact with that empire. across which the route from Palestine then lay.
