THE PRESERVE CLOSET.
Much f the successof the can-
ning of fruits depends upon the ale
l'allgOMU-St of, the preserve closet.
The pcoition is a serious matter,
If possible the closet should face a
north or west wall, never a south
or eat window, for low tempera,
ture maintained without special re.
rigeratio n is essential
° The sleeves of a model closet for
preserves are not deeper than 'six
or eight inches -just wide enough
for one row of jars. When two or
three rows 'are placed on the Shelf,
it necessitates constant moving. No
one heecle to be told that preserves
should be moved as little as 110$
sible after the covers have been
tightened foe the last time. All
shelves should be adjustable, in-
stead of ftx.ecl. In this way one may
economize space and utilize alt
there is without crowding.
DOMESTIC :HINTS.
When a pie -dish or anything used
in the oven becoines burned or dis-
colored, rub with a piece of waste
emery -cloth or with powdered bath -
brick.
Rancid butter can be restored to
freshness if broken up into small
pieces and put into a bowl of new
milk. Let it remain there for about
an hour, then drama it, wash in cold
salted water, and form into pats
again.
Te remove finger marks from
paint, rub them with a soft, damp
cloth dipped in prepared chalk.
Never use soda in cleaning paint;
it injures the color and dries it,
making it liable to crack and peel
off.
Small children need no meat
whetever. Their dietary should
consist of milk, cereals, fruit, and
egetables, Eggs are good for
children, but should not be fried
for them, but simply boiled or
pouched, or eaten in the feral of
custards.
To remove iron -mould or rust,
the beet way is to stretch the spots
over a bowl and moisten with salts
of lemon until the spots disappear.
Then the eoiled part should be
thoroughly rimed in warm water
to remove the aeid.
Artieles of food that are damp or
juicy should never be left in paper.
Paper is merely a, compound of
rags, glue, lime, and similar nub -
stances, with acids and chemicals
intermixed, and, when damp, is ttae
fit to touch things that are to be
eaten.
Irons require to be kept very
cleave but in eaee of their beeom-
ing rusty through long disuse, the
following will he found a good way
of eleaning them; Make the iron
fairly hot, and then rub it over
with a little beeswax tied up in a
piece of rag or cloth. When the
rust has been removed by this ap-
plication, wipe the iron over with
a clean cloth.
Roles in walls, caused by nail
whioh have been taken out, are exceedingly unsightly, and it is not
always possible to conceal them by
means of pictures or ornaments.
They may, however, be rendered
hardly noticeable by filling them
with fine sawdust mixed into a thick
paste with glue. Apply this while
it is Wet, and when dry it may, if
lilted, be painted over with tho
same color as that used in the
room,
There is nothing to equal milk,
especially stale milk, as a, remedy
for an ink -stained carpet. It must,
however'be applied the moment the
ink has been spilt, before it is left
to dry in, as is often done. Blot-
ting -paper or an old rag should be
used to soak up the milk and ink,
a little more of the former being
added until the mark has disap-
peared. Final/y, the spot must be
gone over with a cloth wrung out in
hot water to remove the mark of
the milk.
To Stiffen Starch. -Dissolve five
cents' worth of gum arabic in eight
ounces of water. Bottle up. When
wanted for use, add, one table-
spoonful to the pan of starch while
hot. The clothes will remain stiff
in damp weather. This is especi-
ally mice for shirt waists and col-
ored clothes. but will do equally
well for white clothes.
A Frying Help. -When frying
veal, either steaks or chops, first
dip the meat in a little sweet milk.
Then place it in a frying pan con-
taining hot butter or a mixture of
hot butter and lard. Fry over a
good fire and see, the results. The
milk fetuses the meat to brown
beautifully and imparts to it a de-
licious flavor and unusual tender-
ness. Veal fried in this way browns
quickly and the juice of the meat
is retained, which is not the case
when frying is continued for a long
time.
, COURTSHIP IN SARDINIA,
Wooing is a slightly more ,corn -
plicated matted in Sardinia than it
is here, says the Gentlewoman. The
roarriaee customs are very curious.
If a rather has a marria,geable
daughter the would-be suitor ap-
pEes to him for permission to see
her as she goes to church, or in the
event of her not wishing. to he seen
,he communicates with her by means
of a species- of telephone which has
been in use since time immemorial.
It is a long string with a wooden
knob at each end. The father's
permission having been given, the
lady drops one knob era of the win-
dow and, the shutters being closed,
places the other knob to the ear,
while down below her would-be lov-
er pours his protestations into the
knob she has thrown into the street.
Sometimes this curious form of
courtship continues for two or three
years, the man never seeing the face
of his innamorata.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL STUDY
INTERNATIONAL LESSON,
OCTOBER 22.
Lesson avt-The foundation of the
Seeetild temple laid. Ezra 3. 1. to
4. 5 Goldeu Text, Bea. 100. 4.,
Verses 1 -3. ----Building the great
altar of burnt -offerings.
1. The seventh month was come -
Of course several months had
elapsed since the .start from Baby-
lon, for a. long stretch of desert
eight hundred miles wide lay be-
tween, Of that nothing is said.
The important thing is the work to
be done. And no more favorable
month could be chosen. than Tisri
(our October), whiola was the month
of the great feasts of Trumpets and
Tabernacles, and Atonement,
The people . as one man -It
was a popular movement, in which
the multitude was in full co-opera-
tion with priests and aristocracy,
The first temple was the work of a
king; this undertaking was the
humbler work of returned exiles.
They assembled apparently almoet
on the ruins of the olcl temple.
2. jeshua-lie was the son of elle
of the exiles (1 Ohron. 0. 15), and
was eow high -priest. Since, the
werk about to be accomplished was
etterificiel work, he and his breth
ren, the leading men of families.
The order is reversed in other
places. In such a ceremonious aet
as the building of the, altar, these
chief men represent the whole peo-
ple, The altar, a huge, square
structure of le:legit stone, was the
all-iraportanb symbol of Jewish
worship, For fifty years, saerilleee
had been at a stand -still, Now they
were to be resumed in full force be-
fore anything was clone toward the
refounding of the temple. "The
worship itself is felt to be mare im-
portant than the holm in whieh it
is to beeelebrated."
Written in the Jew of Moses -The
law concerning the efferinge for the
first day of the seventh month is
found in Num, 29. 1-6. Burnt -of-
ferings had a peculiar sacredness to
the Jews, sincc they symbolized the
self -dedication of the worshiper.
ALMS is several times in the, Chron-
icles spoken of as the man of God.
3. Set the altar upon its base -
Perhaps this may mean that they
cleared away the accumulated rub-
bish and set the new altar upon
the foundations of the old. The
marginal reading, in its place (that
is, the place it was permanently to
occupy), is, however, the probable
meaning. They did, this in haste on
account of fear of the peoples of the
border 'countries. The erection of
the altar, which was a rallying -point
for the whole people, would tend to
,inspire confidence in themselves.
4. The feast, of tabernacles -The
most gladsome of the Jewish festi-
vals, when for seven days, begin-
ning with the fifteenth of the sev-
enth month, the people celebrated
the goodness of God in the final
harvest, and the best of the vintage.
It commemorated the wanderings in
the desert, and from this time, was
to signalize the deliverance from
exile. See Lev. 23. 34.-44; Num,
29. 12-38. All this was a revival
of ancient customs, and in careful
conformity to the revealed will of
God (as it is written).
By number -The passage in Num-
bers 29 gives a, detailed list of the
required sacrifices for this feast.
Every day would have its own num-
erical requirement.
5. Afterward the continual burnt -
offering -Implying that, after the,
feast of the tabernacles, the full
sacrificial system, including these
daily morning and evening sacrifices
Prescribed by Exod. 29. 38-42, which
had been interrupted since the de-
struction of Jerusalem, was resum-
ed. The new moons, although re-
ceiving no special attention in the
Levitical Code, was a popular day
of relig,ioas practice. These burnt -
offerings were also made upon the
occasion of the set feasts (Lev. 23.
2-37 and 2 Chron. 8. 13), and upon
the presentation of the freewill -of-
fering on any of the great feast
days by an individual, Jew or Gen-
tile. That all this should be done
before the foundation of the temple
was laid (6) would seem a thing in-
credible to Jews of a later day, who
inevitably associated sacrifices with
a temple building.
7. The masons -As the stone for -
the altar was takes,. from the hill
upon which the city stood, the ma-,
sons probably included those who
quarried the stone, as well as those
who felled the tree. These were
given money -apparently all that
had been received from the 'free-
will -offerings, since the timber for
the temple was otherwise paid for.
hen, while waiting, they proceed-
ed with the erection of the great
altar; then, with the coming of the
harvest, they generously celebrat-
ed the bognty of Jehovah with the
freewill -offerings of the feast da3-e,
and gave the best of the first year's
produce of their fields for the gar-
Ohaee of Rae timber foe the tem -
From Lebanan to the sea; uoto
Joppa-The cedar -trees from the
mountain of Lebanon had a world-
wide fame (Jer. 22. 23). The melt
of 'Tyre and Sidon, having carried
the huge trunks from the hill conn -
try to the nearest coast, loaded
them upon great rafts, and then
floated them to Joppa, the nearest
seaport to Jerusalem, a distance of
thirty miles.
The, grant . of Cyrus - This
must be understood generally, inas-
much as Cyrus had no juriadietion
over the Phoenicians. The trans-
action was simply carried oet ac-
cording to his wish and under his
favor.
8. COMing unto the house-Wher
the old temple had stood, and where
the new was to stand. Here, as- 1g
sembled, in the eeeond month4
(April) of the year B. (3, 530, the ,
people, under the direction of their (1.,
