sils sterilized, by belling in clear
water for ab least ten minutes, put-
ting thean on in warm water and
theft boiling. Jars also must be
boiled and the covers, after wash-
ing, should be placed in can of boil-
ing water to simmer until ready to
screw on. Use new rubbers and
slip diem on neck of jar before fill-
ing, To handle jars during felling,
have them in a flat pan of hot water.
Set a wide funnel made for fruit

cup or ladle, fill with the boiling
hot fruit to overflowing, Screw or

to a folded cloth to cool. Wipe jar
off and see that each top is on firm=
ly before setting away.
Proportions for Canning Syrup.
—Use half as much sugar as water
and boil long enough to make a
clear sirup. Boil this slowly, say
about five to ten minutes (less for
the hard fruits). Skim off any
scum that arises, then drop in the
fruit and cook until tender, but
nob broken, Fill and seal as dir-
ected.
Canned peaches.—Method — Se-
lect fine flavored freestone peaches ;
scald with enough boiling water to
cover; drain and plunge into cold
water to make fruit firm, then slip
off the skin and halve or slice the
peaches. A few stones can be ad-
ded to the sirup and one left in
each can. Then make sirup, and
can as directed in foregoing re-
marks.
Pears. --Para and cora, then
halve or sliced good but not too
soft peons. Then can like other
fruit.
Plums.—Green or red plums are
best for canning. Prick each plum
several times with a wooden tooth-
pick, or 'skin as directed for
peaches. Then can as other fruit.
If plums are skinned, add some of
the skins to the water and boil a
few minutes, then take them out,
add the sugar, and can as other
fruit. Some leave the skins on, and
with a fork remove them before
serving, as skins impart good col-
or and flavor.
(If more than a few Dans are put
up et a time have some sirup re-
served and add a little as each can
is filled. This will make the sirup
of uniform richness.)
Wild or Dnmsen Pliant iiIarma-
Iade.--Method Ttcmove stems and
any blemishes from the plums.
Cover well with water in preserv-
ing kettle and simmer until soft
and juice is well extracted, Rub
through a collander, then measure
the pulp. Use equal proportions
of sugar, add half of sugar to
plums, and boil slowly for half an
hour; then stir in rest of sugar and
boil until a little cooled on saucer
is stiff. Pub in glasses like jam.
Plum Jam.—(Blue freestone or
the red Lombard plums are nice
for jam; cook slowly and stir
often.) Method -Wash, then stone
the plums. 'Measure and use equal
'portion of engine or, if fruit is very
sweot and dry, a little loss sugar
can be used. Place enough water
in bottom of preserving kettle to
•keep plums from settling before
juice is extracted. Boil slowly fur
half an hour, then add half of the
sugar, and boil until quite thick,
about one hour,, then stir in rest
of sugar and boil until a little tak-
en on eaucer looks clear and begins
to form a jellied consistency. Be
sure it is thick enough to stiffen
like jelly or jam will not keep well.
Have scalded jars or glasses ready.
When fruit is slightly cooled, fill
glasses almost to top; set aside and
cover with a paper until quite cold
and surface has glazed over,
(about one or two clays). Then pour
on a thin layer of melted parafin,
pub on covers or tie a glazed paper
over. (Wash and wipe glasses be-
fore setting away and paste neat
labels on glass.)
Peach Marmalade. — Method --
Skin and stone the peaches and
place in kettle with enough water
to just cover. Boil until tender,
then rub through collander. Take
four cupful's of sugar to six of pulp,
iidd half of the sugar and boil half
an hour, then acid boat of sugar and
boil toa clear consistency. Cook
until a little taken on saucer is
clear and stiff. A few red plums
or a little cinnamon can be added
toward the last, (Put in glossas

Use fresh lemons instead of lem-

lemon juice into pastry, or a cake

you must not put it into a milk

Instead you must cut a bit of

gently in the .mills for a few niin-

you may rub a couple of lumps of

add them to the pudding.

Terrible Story of Sufferings of Rus-
sian Fislrernran.
A terrible narrative of the death
by starvation of over 100 fishermen
and their families ill Nova Zembla,
Russian Islands in the Arabic
Ocean, is told in a St. Petersburg
telegram to the Petit Parisian.
Last winter was very severo, and
the fishermen were unable to secure
fresh supplies of food at the usual
period, ,and the sea being frozen,
it was impossible to obtain fish,. A
scientific expedition visiting the is-
lands found the skeletons of the
fishermen and their' wives and chil-
dren lying in the open, their huts
having been wracked by the wind.
Not a scrap of food was lest. Three
of the dead women still carried
their infants in their areas.
In one slut was found a diary
written by 'one of the fishermen.
The lash entries read:
"We have no more provisions and
we cannot secure any fish. A ves-
sel seen approaching' to -day, but it
was only an illusion. It is terrible

food. We are reduced to eating
our woollen garments. We are still
keeping on hoping for help.
"All the children are dead. We
are now four fishermen living and
two wotnen, Our sufferings are in-
desoribable, Two of the men have
just died. They tried to stave off
their hunger by eating the flesh of
their dead 'comrades.'

the regulations governing its ser-
vices. All these, according to the
narrative, were revealed to Moses
in the recesses of the mountain
where he met with Jehovah face to
face. Joshua had accompanied him
part of the way, and fur a still
shorter distance Aaron, Nadab,
Abihu, and seventy of the elders
of Israel alsu (compare Food. 24.
1-15). While Moses tarried the
people at the foot of the mountain
became impatient of his return.
The story of their impatience and
apostasy and the consequent dis-
pleasure of Jehovah is related in
the opening verses of our lesson
chapter.
Verse 15. Went down from the
mount—Returned unto the camp
of Israel.
Two tables—Or tablets of stone,
already mentioned in 31. 18.
18. The tables were the work of
God—Not so, however, the "two
tables of stone like unto the first,"
which subsequently were substitut-
ed for these and which Moses him-
self, at the command of Jehovah,
hewed out of the stone on the
mountainside (compare Exod. 34
1-4).
The writing was the writing of.
God—So also in the subsequent
table (Exod. 34. 1).
17. Joshua—Who had now rejoin-
ed Moses un his way down the,
mountain.
The noise of the people—Great
demonstrations of religious for-
vor, including especially singing
and dancing, were characteristic
•of religious ceremonies in ancient
times.
18. The noise of them that sing
It was not the sound of con-
flict, but of festive singing, which
eame from the camp.
19. Moses' anger waxed hot—
Once before in his early life had
Moses grown exceedingly angry to
the point of losing control of him-
self. On this occasion his anger
caused him to cast the tables of
the sacred testimony out of his
hands and break them.
20. The calf—A symbol of
strength, borrowed from the re-
ligion of the Egyptians.
Burnt it with fire—The image
would be east over a wooden core.
Made the children of Israel drink
of it—Implying that this drinking
would .cause disease in those guilty
of atry. a cal
Verses 21-29 record thepp
which Aaron made in behalf of the
people and the relentless punish-
ment inflicted by the loyal sons of
Levi at the command of Moses.
30. Sinned a great sin -They
hacl not only broken a definite pro-
mise, but in doing so had been
guilty of gross ingratitude toward
Jehovah,
Peradventure I shall make atone-
ment for your sin—Appease in
some way the wrath of Jehovah,
apparently by offering himself in
their stead to be blotted out of the
roll of .God's people,
32. Forgive their sin—; and if
not, blot me, I pray thee, out of
thy boolc—We are to supply in
thought the ellipsis indicated by
the dash, inserting some such
words as "well and good," or "I
am content," or "I have no more
to say." The broken phrases indi-
cate the deep feeling of Moses.
34, 35. I will visit their sin upon
them It is not clear whether the
threatened visitation' of punish-
ment is to be thought of as follow-
ing immediately, or at some later
time, From the expression, "And
Jehovah smote the people," some
have inferred the Winer, while
others think that the punishment
referred to was the ultimate per,
ishing of the entire generation in
the wilderness, specifically men-
tioned in Num. 14, 35 : ''In this wil-
derness they shall be consumed,
and there they shall die,"
