Fruits for jelly making may be divid- ed into two groups; The Pict, fruits rich in pectose, such as apples, quinces, guavas, crab-apples, Japan- ese quinces (the fruit of Pyrus jap- onica), grapes, plums, cranberries, blackberries, loganberries, white, red and black currants, With these fruits use three-quarters of a pound of granulated sugar to each pint of juice. The second group is composed of fruits that are lacking in pectose. Large fruits should be washed and cut into slices without paring; reject the cores and seeds. Use one quart of water to three pounds of sliced fruit; cook, stirring frequently, until the fruit is very soft; turn into a jelly - bag and drain, without pressure, over- night. The bag should be made three - cornered, of strong, unbleached mus- lin. Hang on a bird -cage hook or a broom -handle, placed over the tracks of two chairs. In the morning mea- sure the juice, put it in the kettle, boil five minutes, add the sugar, stir until sugar is dissolved, boil ten min- utes, skim and test. To test, put a tablespoonful of the boiling jelly in a saucer and stand in a cold place for a moment. If done the surface will be solid, as you draw it toward you with a spoon. If not, boil a few min- utes longer and try again. When done, pour into jelly glasses, and when cold cover with a thin layer of paraffin. Cover tops with tissue paper, pasted down over the glasses. Small Fruits—In using small fruits, such as currants and berries, clean, remove stems and leaves. Put a pint of water in the bottom of the kettle, add a quart of the fruit, mash with a wooden pestle, then add mese fruit, mash, and continue thus until you have the desired quantity. Boil and stir for twenty minutes and finish as directed for the other fruits. Fruits Lacking in Pectose—The sec- ond group of fruits, containing a small quantity of pectose, should be blended with those rich in this sub- stance. Apple juice is hest for this purpose because it is neutral, easily obtained throughout the season, less costly than other fruit and very rich. M pectose.

There were piles of wood bundles of straw, plows. and rakes and harrows and baskets, even wagons. There was always room on the piazza, and so everything was put there that could not be crowded into the barns or sheds, Barry had to examine every one of these articles, staring at them with solemn little wrinkles between his eyes and sniffing at them with his pudgy little nose.

I"You see, Barry,"aid Carl, "I'm all alone just now and I need a little ;dog like you to take care of me. I'm sick, but I'm going to be well pretty soon, and then we'll do things, won't we, though?" Barry waved his tail, "What a splendid boy that Is;' he thought. "He's as good as a puppy. I like him, I want to get up there beside him," He did his very best to stretch himself up, the thin white hand gave what help it could, and In a minute or two the little dog was snuggling up to his new friend, quite tired out with his efforts. As the boy grew stronger, they played all sorts of games together. Tbey ran races, they played fetch and carry, they scampered up the drive- way that led from the ground to the top floor of the barn. They went to the little lake and, much to his sur- prise, Barry found out that he could swim better than Carl, Best of all, +they learned each other's language.

He turned it around so ha .could see the lettering. Then he reverently made the sign of the cross, and said to the jady: "This dog belongs to the good fath- ers far up on St. -Bernard Pass, Does any one know who has the dogs this year?" he asked a group of children.. "Carl's father has some of them," they replied. "May we take him back?" Barry had concluded that he was being cared for, and he had lain down fiat on the pavement, stretched out to his full length, utterly tired out. "No," said the policeman. "A. pup gets tired as soon as a baby.He is too used up to walk. Pretty soon I will take him home in the police wagon." l So it was that Barry came home. A ;very happy boy threw his arms around the dog's neck• and as T•11 h look oiit of the window, Carl knew this meant, "Do, please, come out with me." If Barry gave a short, quick bark, it meant, "I'm in a hurry." If it was a long, deep one, it meant, "There's something wrong." Barry made one peculiar sound whichwas neither bark' nor whine. It began al - while the day came when Carl and an armful of books went away from the house early in the morning, and he was forbidden to follow. He sat down on the piazza in amazement. What could it mean? It must be a mistake, for, of course, he had a right to go wherever Carl went, and pretty soon he jumped up and ran after him as fast as ever I He was only a puppy, however, and very soon he lost the scent and wan- dered about, a forlorn little, bewilder- ed dog, roaming alone through the streets of Berne. He had never been there before. When he and Carl went out together, they went through the bright, sunny fields, but the streets of the city were quite different. In most of them the se,, and story of the build- ings extended to the very edge'of the sidewalk and rested upon heavy square pillars. This made the walks dark and gloomy, and the poor little puppy began to feel afraid. Just them he came to an open square and heard what seemed some- what like a cock crowing far up above his head. He did not know that this was only the famous clock of Berne, The art of making really good, l and when in a moment more it began strong, pure lye is gained after m a ny, to strike, the little lost dog was fright - many h t - many years'experience encs and the older ened almost out of his wits.

The next morning, when Carl was ready for school, Barry sat on the .piazza and looked up into his face pleadingly. "No, Barry," said Carl. "Dogs aren't allowed to come to school," and he went off, trying hard to forget the mournful little figure on the piazza. Half an hour later a delighted boy tan up the steps of his home. "Mother, mother!" he cried, "the teacher says that if Barry will be good he may come every day and lie in the hall till it is time to come home. e. Iia says that on the Pass of St. Bernard a dog like this one saved the life of his brother, and that some day when Barry is grown up he may rescue some one of us from the cold and storm. Come, Barry!" and they ran oft: hap- pily together. Barry grey rapidly into a dog of medium size, square -built and com- pact. His coat was white and tan, his hair short, but close to the skin it was so thick as to be almost like felt, His ears drooped and his eyes were dark and deep-set. His whole bearing was gentle and affectionate, even play- ful, but yet with a certain -quiet dig- nity as if he were awaiting for some- thing of importance to happen. When the whiter snows began to fall, Barry grew restless. He smelled the air uneasily. His grant brown' eyes began to have a troubled and anxious look, like one weighed clown with the. thoughe of work not done and the fear of not being able to do it. "He's never been on a mountain," said the schoolmaster, "but he's pin- ing for the high pass and the storni- winil and the struggle. = You must let him go, boy," he said to Carl.

One cold fall day, "Uncle Jack" Miner, wile .delights in feeding the great flocks of Canada geese that come each spring and nuturnn to his home grounds, saw a wounded gander lloatiug to the pond outside his bonne. A charge of shot had smashed Its wing, and it would never iiy agolo. To save the mailer's life "Uacle Jack" amputated its wing. The bird steod the operation well and soon was able to enioy its food and swim round with the others. But winter was coming. The geese: must resume their long Journey to the south. It eeetnod litnt the injured bird would soon be left alone. And then a strange thing happened. One gander stayed round, unwilling to leave his crippled companion, The two were evidently friends, and the brave bird would not desert his chum, though In- stiuet told hint 11 was time to go, aud" though thousands of his fellows, were filling the air with their clamor as they left the peals, To stay meant that the gander would sacrifice the freedom 50 dear to all wild creatures. Probably never again would he join the long wedges of his comrades on their journeys. Never would he find among them a chosen mate, No, he would live like a tame goose, and In the cold weather he would be shut up In a barn with the Poultry, The two wild geese were not a pair, remember. The Canada goose mates for life, and for the male to stay with his injured partner *could not have been strange, But those two were ganders, "just friends:" The remarkable friendship was the talk of the country side. The neigh- bors called the wounded bird David, and his devoted friend Jonathan. No wonder David' loved Jonathan! No wonder they were always close to- gether as the nights grew longer and the days colder tin ail the ponds were frozen. Something very' practical resulted. Because of the interest aroused by one -winged David and loyal Jonathan the residents of the district petitioned the government to have the land for two square miles round reserved as a• bird sanctuary in which no hunter should be allowed to. shoot. The gov- ernment agreed, and now, thanks to Jon athan, each year many thousands ot his species enjoy protection there. Poor Jonathan! Ile bad yet to pay the full price of his friendship. At dusk ono evening a great owl came swooping down to prey upon the de- fenceless David. It was Jonathan that rushed to the rescue, Jonathan that with flapping wings and angry hiss put himself In the forefront of the battle. An act of pure self-sacrifice! Escape was easy for him, for no owl would pursue him far through the air, But he chose to stay and fight for David's life. The owl was bold and tierce. Un- able to reach its easy victim, it got a grip on Jonathan's head with its cruel talons and drove them into the gen• der's brain. Mr. Miner, who was too late to avert the tragedy, set a trap among the feathers at Jonathan's 11000, torn body, and wben the owl returned to its feast it was caught and ]tilled. Next day, the telephone bell rang frequently as neighbors called tap to inquire about the death of Jonathan and to express their sympathy. Just a wild goose! One of the millions that fiy to and fro between the far north anti the sunny south! But what a friendship! Real Education.

Thele true educa- tion is beginning. Wearetold of certain great men that they lacked formal schooling. Yet it is clear Irani what they did that they were forever learning. Pain aud adversity may have taught them none than ease and pleasure, though in- struction need not always be a bitter mcdiclno, Life itself is the great school for life. That harsh taskmaster, expert, encu, Whose rod is ever lifted ready to fail, has pupils of all ages and every social condition.
