Green Grape Jelly. ---For 'this purpose the wild or "Lox" grapes, as they are called hi some parts of the country; are the best. Strip them from the sterns and wash them, then put them into the pre.. serving kettle with the . water which adheres to them and heat them slowly. It is well to lay an inverted plate in the bottom of the kettle that the grapes may nob stick and .carob. Especially is this necessary if the cooking i dune over gas. In this case it is better to set the kettle on an asbestos mat plac- ed over the flame. When the grapes are broken to pieces by the cooking crush tliern still more with a paddle or wooden spoon, turn them into a jelly bag, let the juice drip through and measure this. To each pint of it allow a pound and a half of sugar. Return the jutce to the fire, bring it to a boil, and after it has cooked for fifteen minutes put in the sugar, which it is well to heat in pans in the oven; it should be hot through but not melted. As soon as the sugar is dissolved in the juice and this re- turns to the boil take from the fire and put into glasses, rinsing these, out in boiling water. Put a spoon in each before pouring in the hot jelly, to save the chance of crack- ing. Green Grapes Preserved.—Wash the grapes, remove them from the stems, and cat each grape in half; remove the seeds and then weigh 'the grapes. Allow a pound of sugar to each pound of the fruit and put sugar and fruit together into a preserving kettle. Cook slowly until very thick, then turn into jars, -while the preserves are still boiling hot and seal. Spiced Grapes (1). —iStem, wash, and pulp grapes and stew the pulp gently until it can be rubbed through a fine colander which will hold the seeds. Measure the pulp. For every five pints of this and the juice allow a pint of cider vinegar, four pounds of brown sugar, three tablespoons of ground cinnamon, and two of ground cloves. Put these with the grape pulp and juice, turn into a preserving ket- tle, and stew slowly until -very thick. Keep in jelly glasses or jars with closely fitting tops. Spieed Grapes (2).—Wash, stem, and pulp the grapes and seed thew,. You can do this before they are cooked—a tedious process --or you may cook them gently, as directed in the preceding recipe, and rub through a fine colander to remove the seeds. In either ease weigh or measure the fruit, after it is pulp- ed and seeded and to five pounds or fife pints allow two and a half pounds•of granulated sugar and a half pint of vinegar. Put these with the pulp and juice over the fire, add two ounces of whole cloves and the same quantity of stick cinamon, broken into small pieces. Boil for half an hour, or until the mixture is very thick. It should be of such 'consistency that the juice is ab:orbecl and clones not rune Put the fruit into jelly glasses while it is still very hot and cover and close as you would jelly, with rounds of tissue paper or paraffin and metal tops. These finishing touches cannot' be given, of course, until the jelly is solid and firm. G . Marmalade. — Pick the grapes from. the stems and meas- ure them. Allow a half pint cup of anto sugar equal i gq a1 quant t3 of grapes and then pulp the grapes. Do not throw away the skins. Put the pulp over the fire in a double boiler or a porcelain lined kettle and cook gently until it is so ten - def that the seeds come out when the grapes are rubbed through a f, colander. You must use a fine co- lander., which will nob permit the a seeds to go through. Return • the ,seedless pulp and the juice flow- g `ing from it to the fire with the i skins of the grapes, add the sugar, and cook until the mixture is very i thiole; take from the fire and seal 1 in jars. e Pielcicd Grapes.—For this the g grapes meet be just ripe, but net dead ripe or soft. They should be t as fresh as you can got them. Pick s them from the stems carefully, so t as not to break the fruit, wash - then" and shake in .a cloth, so as to ti remove part of the moisture; then .cl weigh the fruit. For every seven rl pounds of this allow . four pounds is of granulated sugar, a quart of 8 vinegar, and put these over the Are with a te;aspoohful each Of cloves and of cinnamon tied up in f little hags of cheesecloth, Bring A the vinegar, segar, and'' spices to the boil, and while they are heat -1 y ing pack the uncooked' grapes in re stone or glass jars. .

The at ,Sinai has been broken up an the people under the leadership Moses have resurne 1 their jaurne through the wilderness toward tel land of promise. The resumptio of the march served to •:,mphasiz anew the privation which they wer compelled to endure tlirougho their wilderness pilgrimage. I comparison the wilderness 'prii•a tions seem harder to .bear than th burdens of Egyptian slavery ;hent the murmuling and complaint a the people, both against Jehov and against Moses, for havin brought them into the desert. Moses was displeased—Both wit the people for their murmuring an with things in general.

Two explorers -vho have been looking for the sources of the Ama- zon arrived home recently with stories well calculated toarouse the interest of adventurous spirits who are weary of civilization and eager to erect a lodge in some vast wilderness. Dr. Hamilton Rice, an Engiishauan, and P. P. Ritter von Bauer of Vienna are the storytell- ers, and Dr. Rice says that the country they entered is wilder than Afr]oa was when Livingston was making his explorations. "For fifty days at a time we did not see a human being outside of our own party of twelve, 00 you sea we passed through a country which never before ;had been entered by a human being." The reference, of *curse, is to the upper stretches of the river, for a British war vessel has ascended 2,000 miles above the mouth, where there is a width of 9,000 feet and a channel 66 feet deep. - Moreover, European steamers make regular trips 50 miles. above that point, and the stream is navigable for large boats for a distance of 3,000 miles. The fact is that the Amazon is in a class by itself. A cotmmon esti- mate of its length is 4,poo mules, its main mouth is 50 miles wide, its delta is ;said to be larger than that of, the Nile and the Ganges tome- binecl, it rises hi the Andes 16,000 fret above sea level, pllurges through, great 'canyons that must be among nature's wonders, and drains a valley that is five-axthe es large asathe United States, Whether the two explorers ace belly went 'where men had never been before would be difficult to prove, but there aro certainly im- mense areas that are without a permanent population.

' INTELLIGENCE OF ANIMALS SOME .PERSONS SAY PP IS NOTHING 13 UT INSTi.NC7', Instances and Records of the Rea - laming Power' of Duna, Creatures: - Most people; despite Loads of facts demonstrating that animals think, coneistently maintain that they do not. Tho mast remarkable signs of intelligence on the part of a dog, say, ars put down to. "in- i::,tet." Or, if intelligence is ad- mitted, it is looked upon by theca persona as a different brand frons that displayed by themselves, says a writer in Loudon Answers. A friend of the writer has a dog— a spaniel—that shows remarkable inteiligenee. When anyone enters the gate leading to 3'r, B,'s coun- try home, Pedwo--.the dog in ques- tion --barks a warning of the ap- proach of a stranger. On the wri- ter's first visit to Mr. B.'s home, - he received this attention, but the - very next time he went near that house, Pedro approached him si- Iently and walked by his side through the small park surround- ing the property. And the remark- able thing about it was that it was pitch dark at the time -so dark that the animtal was absolutely invisible to the visitor. An Anchored Bark. Now, it was certainly his sense of smell that revealed the writer's identity to the dog, but it was mem- ory that told the animal that it was no stranger who was approaching; while it was reason that informed him that it was unnecessary to barkm In such eireustanoes. That monkeys think there can be little doubt, and how very like -hu- ., mans they can be is illustrated by the ease of one of these—a macaque —in captivity, A Large nut had become wedged in one of his cheek pouches, and by the time it was discovered by the keeper it was necessary to remove. it by lancing. This was done from the outside, and then the wound was stitched. There and then was born a mon- key magician. The animal had soon removed the stitches, and ;proceed- ed to amuse himself and mystify his fellows by most mysteriassly causing a peanut to pass through his cheek and come out by his mouth. Or he would reverse the process, putting the nut into his mouth and parsing it out through - his eheek, Not content with this, he demonstrated that the same feat was easily performable with a straw in lilac` of a peanut. And be it said, no one watching the calm expression of the performer and the wonderment of the onleek ers could for a moment hesitate as to what any one of them was think- ing about. 'Tis Dogs' Delight. That animals dream is almost as certain as that they breathe.. Watch a sportsman's dog after an exciting day. As lie lies envied ftp on the doormat, he will jerk un- easily y in his sleep and yelp- with' eagerness. If you have ever men the same dog trying to dig out a rabbit, you will never doubt that he is dreaming of the chase. In their wild state, animals must show intelligence in procuring food, and in escaping their ene- mies.
