Golden pippin apples and firm pears, like Flemish Beauties, are nice preserv- ed in this way: Pare the fruit, allow thejmount of water necessary to make the syrup and cook the parings in this water before syrup is made. Skim out the parings, add the ginger root cooked tender. the lemon peel chips. the lemon juice and sugar.

Allow the juice of one lemon to every two pounds of sugar used for syrup, with its yellow peel cut in thin chips.

Cook the peeled tomatoes in this syrup for about half an hour. and then skim them out and lay them on platters in the hot sun to harden. This last process is not strictly necessary. A very good preserve may be made if the tomatoes are trans- ferred at once to the jars without standing in the sun. Let the syrup boil down after the tomatoes are taken out.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR UMBRELL Often in hanging pictures the greatest difficulty is experienced in getting the screw to fasten securely into the plas- ter. Here is a simple remedy which many professional picture-hangers fol- low in [he course of a day's work. The hole made by the screw is enlarged, and the edges of the plaster are thor- oughly moistened with water. Then the space is filled with plaster of Paris and the screw pressed into the soft plas- ter. When the plaster becomes hard- ened the screw will be found to hold very firmly. with a. piece of black material, and the hat will be nearly equal to new at the cast of about one cent.
