ELDER(H.DRRY AND Oxtt WINES. i Pick the berries frpmt the stems,:' mash them in a wooden tub Or buo'ket, Let "stand over night tin a cool place, In the morning press out the juice, then examine the pulp; if you think there is still some juioe in it, pour over it one quart of boiling hot water for every three quarts of berry juice and press again. To every four quarts of juice you have, add one quart of apple -juice and one pound of brown sugar. Put into a keg or jug and work it slowly, or it will Bout if kept too warm. Draw off and bottle the wine in the spring, land if you want nice wine do not use it until it is two or three years old; five years is better. , Blackberry Wine:—Mash ands press the juice from the berries. To every three quarts of berry juice add 2 quarte of water and 1 quart of apple juice, and allow 3-4 lb. of brown sugar to each quart of the mixture( Work and draw off the same as the elder- berry wine. Grape WIne:—Allow 2 quarts of water for every 3 quarts of juice, and 1 lb. of brown sugar for every quart of liquor. This should be worked in jugs or cans and allowed to work or run over and the jugs be filled up with sweetened water as it settles down. When done working over, cork loosely and set down cellar. Rhubarb Wine:—Chop and mash the rhubarb fine, and pour over it as many quarts of boiling water as you have quarts of pulp. When cold, press, add a quart of apple juice to every gallon of the liquor and a pound of brown sugar to every quart of the. mi;xtbiire. Work as directed for elder- berry wine. Cider Wine:—Any common cider may be used for this if it be taken and sugar added to it before fermentation has begun. Allow 31-2 lbs. of brown sugar for each gallon. If you want extra wino select your apples, using crab apples or nice sour ones and about half sweet ones. To fit corks tight in the bottles soak in boiling water until they are soft, then pound them in. DOMESTIC RECIPES. Sweet Pickled Pears.—Choose per- fectly smooth fair Bartlett pears. Stick three or four cloves in each and steam them int tender. Make a rich syrup of sugar and vinegar; put the pears in this a few at a time; let them cook very slowly for afew minutes, take out with a skimmer, put into a stone jar, and when all are done, pour the boiling syrup on them. Turn a plate o;.;r them to keep them under the vinegar. (Green Tomato Pickle.—Take moder- ate sized green tomatoes, cut them in ices, rejecting the stem and blossom - end slices. Put in a jar, sprinkling with salt. Let stand twenty-four hours, then drain and freshen in oold water for the same length of time and drain. Make a syrup of sugar and vinegar, pint to 'a pound, and add whole cloves and cinnamon. Boil the tomatoes in this till tender; boil down the syrup and pour over them. Mustard Pickles.—Make a dressing of two quarte of vinegar; one cup brown sugar; half a cup of flour; six tablespoonfuls of ground mustard and a tablespoonful of tumerio, Mix the tumeric and mustard with cold vine- gar, and the flour the same way. Put the sugar and .vinegar together, let boil and stir in the other ingredients slowly, and let It boil gently til it is smooth and creamy. Put into a gal- lon crock and add pickles as you got hem. Small cucumbers and onions, • string beans, oelery, sliced green to- • matoes, cauliflower, slices of green muskmelon, are all good to fill up the crock. The string beans should be hteamed till tender; the onions scald- ed in salt and water; the tomtaoes eprinkled with salt, left to stand a Ray and night, then freshened and the cucumbers soaked in salt and water and then in boiling vinegar. Spice and curry powder may be added if liked. ART OF BEING THANKFUL. ' To appear grateful must be an ac- quired art, or there would not be so many persons who dole out their thanks in a manner that seems as if they almost grudged having to give thanks at all. The little children are often chided by their elders for their failure to say "Thank you," but do the elders themselves always remem- ber to utter the speech of gratitude? Have not some of us a way of accept- ing a favor as if it were our due, and as if we were put under no obligation by having received it ? Even birthday and Christmas gifts are occasionally tardily acknowledged, although most of us have regard enough for the, con- ventionalities of life to write the note which common politeness demands. 13ut it is in the home and with those we love beat that we fail to say Thank you" The wife scarcely thinks to speak the simple words when her husband restores to her the handker- chief She has dropped, or rises and gives her the easy -chair which he has occupied until her entrance. And how sadly often does the young girl forget to express gratitude for the numberless little things that the pat- ient mother does for her I It is taken for granted that mother shall neatly mend the ripped glove, or sew the missing button on the shoe, or put the ruching in the neok of her daugh- ter's gown. The girl does not say, "She is here to do these things," but her actions speak as loudly as the words could. In the depths of her heart the most loyal mother must sometimes miss and long for the speech of affectionate thanks. It re- quires so little effort to utter it. . Many of the amenities of life become matters of habit. Would it not be well for us in our homes to bultivate the habit of saying "Thank you?" if r HOUSEHOLD HINTS. t To Clean Japanned Trays. — They must not be touched with hot or cold water, as the varnished surface is lia- ble to crack and wrinkle,. When the, trays begin to look dull they should be gently rubbed over with a little olive oil, and then polished with a fresh piece of Olean flannel. To Purify Water.—This is a sensi- ble precaution in warm weather. It Is managed by addinga teaspoonful of powdered alum to every four gallons Of water. This should be stirred briskly into the water, and impurities will eventually be preelpitated tai tile, bottom of .the waters and when Settled the piue. clear liquid oa;p be aaa;eful)ty, drawn Off, To Cool Water Without toe. *- Sn .Eastern method of cooling water when ice is not procurable is to fill an earthen bottle or vessel with it, wrap the vessel in damp oloths and then harlot it in a full draught of air. The rapid evaporation that results sensi- bly lowers the temperature of the water. An earthen vessel, being porous, is the beat for the purpose, but this not being easily obtainable, a glass goblet should be used, the rags swathed round it being constantly dampened, so that speedy evaporation may not be retarded. To Remove Stains.—Mildew Is re- moved by rubbing the part with some chalk or salt. wetting and exposing it. to the sun. This should be repeated several times, and then the article must be rinsed well in cold water. Fruit and wine stains are removed al once by stretohing the stained part over a basin and rubbing with salt and pouring boiling water over it until the stain is no longer visible. If the stain has heoome dry use sparingly salt of lemon. The artiole must be thoroughly rinsed or the fabric will rot. The Home Laundress.—Plpe clay dis- solved in the washing water in an ex- cellent thing for cleaning dirty linen quickly and without much expendi- ture of physical labor. It has also the property of improving the color of the clothes. WINTER TABLE APPLES. Pickled k ed Apples.—Take ripe,hard, sweet apples. Peel evenly, and if the apples are small leave them whole, otherwise cut In halves. To every 7 lbs. of apples allow a pint of vinegar and 3 lbs. of sugar. Tie In a bag a teaspoonful each of cloves, allspice and finely broken cinnamon, and boil 10 minutes in the sugar and vinegar. Add the apples, boil them until they can be pierced with a broom splint, then put them in a atone far, arranging the pieces as compactly as possible without breaking them; let the vinegar boil down until there is only enough to Bever the fruit and pour it over them. If these pickles are sealed air -tight they will keep well for several years. Apple Butter.—Roll down 8 quarts of new cider until only one quart remains. When the cider is obtained from sheet nettles, sour apples should he used for the butter and vies versa. Pare and quarter enough apples to cook in the rider without wcorohing. Cook slow- ly all day. The cider should be pre- pared the day before. This butter is very wholesome, as it Is made entire- ly of apples. Apple -Butter Pie.—Spread apple but- ter upon a rich under -crust, add stirrer to suit the taste and Orange a lattice ton. The pie should not be made too sweet. Sweet Apple Preserves.—To 7 lbs. of pared, cored and divided sweet apples allow 3 lbs of sugar, a pint of cider vinegar and the outer rinds of 3 lem- ons. Be oareful not to use the whits portion of the lemon rind, as it would impart a bitter taste. Tie the flav- oring in a bit of muslin, boil it with the vinegar and sugar 10 minutes and then add the apples. Cover the vessel and cook slowly three or four hours, when the apples will be of a rich color. 1 The vinegar will prevent the apples from fermenting, but its presence will not be noticeable if the apples are cooked long enough.

By thel census taken pre- vious to the last one—the census of 1850—there were 1,200,000 Inhabitants of Palestine, and the population at that time was considered station- ary. ,13y the last estimate the popula- tion of Palestine was 2,711,000, and this increase was shown in the large cities as well as in the country districts. Ten years ago there were 15,000 residents in Jaffa; to -day there are nearly 60,- 000. The present population of Da- mascus is 150,000, and of Jerusalem 41,- 000. Since the Russian persecutions of the Jews there has been a large im- migration into Palestine from Russia, and the increase of population has been further augmented by the agitation of Zionism. But to neither cause can be as- cribed an increase so great as that shown by the recent census figures. Turkey is not a t hickly populated country, and the Ottoman Government opposes generally, so far as its influ- ence extends, the increase of the ur- ban population. Thej cities of the Turkish empire contain relatively few Turks, and Constantinople itself, which bythe census 'f• o 1885 had 873,000 in- habitants,contained only 384,000 Turks The balance was made up of Greeks, Armenians, and other foreigners — a clear majority of the o J Y population. The area of Turkish Syria is 109,000 square miles and the population is most dense in the Christian district of Lebanon. An Afflioted Mother NURSING HER DYING CHILD HER HEALTH GAVE WAY.

Diehl, who live about one and a half miles from Bridgewater, are highly esteemed by a large circle of friends. Mrs. Diehl has passed through a trying illness, the particulars of which she recently gave a reporter of the Enterprise, as fol- lowst—"In the spring of 1896' my health gave way. }In addition to my ordi- nary household duties I had the con- stant care day and night of a sick child. In the hope of saving my little one, it did not occur to me that over- work, loss of sleep and anxiety were exhausting my etrength. Finally my child passed away, end then I (realized my physical condition, Shortly after I was attacked with neuralgia pains in the shoulder which shifted to my right side after there weeks and settled there. The three weeks and settled there. The pain in my side grew worse and after a few days I became unable to leave my bed. In addition to my bodily trouble I became melancholy and was very much reduced in flesh. My friends regarded my condition as dan- gerous. I remained in . bed several weeks; to me it seemed ages. It is im- possible to describe the agonies Isuf- fered during thnt time. A skilful phy- sician was in constant attendance up- on me. He said mine war the worst case of anaemia and general „neural- gia he had ever seen. After some weeks he succeeded in getting me out of bed and after a few more weeks I was able to dol some light household work. But I was only a shadow of my former self ; my appetite was very poor and that• maddening pain still clung to my side and also spread to the re- gion of the heart . and lungs, darting through and about them like lances cutting the flesh. Every few days I 'had to atiply croton oil and fly blis- ters to miy chest, and had a bad cough. My friends gave up. think- ang I had ccnsumption. I, too, really thought my end was near, fearing mostly that the pains about my heart might take me off any day. Dur- ing all my illness I had never thought of any medicine other than what my doc- tor prescribed. It happened., however, that in glancing over the Enterprise one day my eye fell upon the statement of a cure made by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The case resembled mine in some respects. I read and re -read the article, It haunted me far several days not- withstanding I tried to dismiss it from my mind. At last I asked the doctor whether he thought these pills would help me. He looked at me a moment and then remarked "well perhaps you had better try them. I believe they do work wonders in some cases and if they do not cure you they will certainly do no harm." That remark opened to me the door of life, for had he said "no" I should not have used the pills. When I had used two boxes I began to feel better, my appetite im- proved and there were less of those pains about the heart and chest. The cough too was less severe. I kept on till six boxes more were taken and to make a long story short, i was myself again, appetite good, spirits buoyant, ains gone and I could do my own work with comfort. I have been well ver since and have no doubt that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills saved my life and °stored me to my family. I am ever eady to speak their praises and in my eart am ever invoking God's blessing pon their discoverer. Rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, par- ial paralysis, locomotor, ataxia, nerv- ussheadache, nervous prostration and iseases depending upon humors in the lood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipe- as, etc„ all disappear before a fair reatment with Dr. Williams' Pink ills.

The Emperor Maximilian was an ab- stemious man as regarded the plea- sures of the table, a laudable habit( which was encouraged by all about him, who loved to feast royally at his expense, while he dined alone upon some simple dish. But the Emperor bad a taste for fish, and especially sturgeon; and one day be relished so much a dish of this last that, like 01i - ver, and to the equal surprise of the assistant, he asked for more. "Extre- mely sorry," said the maitre, d'hotel, "hut there is no more sturgeon." The Emperor perhaps, more softly to him- self, perhaps he merely whietled or hummed. Anyhow, after a pantie, he sant for the stewart of the palace, who inquired, in some surprise, what hie Majesty was pleased to want. "I want to know," said the Emperor, "how much sturgeon you bought for my din- ner to -days" "One thousand pounds, your Majesty," replied the steward, "Then next time buy a thousand pounds end a half," said the Ehlper- or, "So that t may have a second help;" Fahr Medicine) 18E414 as important a d Ngnsfolal alt 8prlpg Medloitle.

Lord Brassey's Father Took Then, to Buy Bread and Swore He'd Blurry the Do- nor. A starving lad wandered ragged and forlorn in 'the streets of Liverpool. Nearly fainting with hunger, he espied a barefooted girl almost as ragged and forlorn as himself, selling matches. Knowing that the poor are more inclin- ed to respond to the voice of charity than the rich, he turned to her and asked the loan of a penny to buy a loaf of bread, "I have not got it now," was her sim- ple reply, "but I'll try and get you one. Stay here!" A few minutes afterward she suc- ceeded in selling a couple of her boxes of matches, and ran to the lad and handed him the two half -pennies. "I'll marry that lgirl," was the oath registered by the grateful boy. And he kept his word in after years. Nor was any couple ever more devoted than this once beggar boy and Liverpool match girl, who died possessed of enor- mous wealth, leaving a name honored and respected throughout the indus- trial and financial world,the good Eng- lish name of Brassey. This charming old couple, whose lack of aspirates• in their speech was more than atoned for by their kind- ness of heart, their freedom from all pose and' affectation, were the father and mother of Lord Brasses, who re- cently passed through Canada on his way to Australia. r THE HOIJBIE OF DE BRESCI. Lord Braasey would have the world believe that he can trace his lineage to some ancestors of the name of De. Brescia who accompanied William the Conqueror across the Channel and fought under his banner at the battle of Hastings nine hundred years ago. Mold Bra,ssey did not relish his father's fondness of. relating the man- ner in which he had first formed the acquaintance of his wife. Old Brassy began his career as a "navvy" or day laborer on railroads working with a piok and spade, and rose step by step until he became the greatest railroad contractor of his day, leaving each of his three sons at his death an income of 3400,000 a year, in addition to a profitable railroad con- tract and ship -building business. The eldest of the sons, Tom Brassey, turned his attention to politics, mar- ried an extremely ambitious and clev- er wife, entered Parliament, contri- buted largely (it is said nearly half a million dollars) to the campaign fund of the Liberal party—and in due course received the customary rewards in the shape, first of all, of a civil Lordship of the Admiralty, then a Knighthood of the Bath and lastly apeerage. HIS OFFICE A DOUBTFUL COMPLI- , , ,MFNT. To -day he is Governor of the Aus- tralian Colony .of Victoria, with which ha was invested by the Queen in order to enable her to dispense with his ser- vices as a Lord -in -Waiting. She is somewhat old-fashioned, and does not relish the new rich among her entour- age, especially when they put forward pretensions to lineage. The present Lady Brassey is the sec- ond wife of Lord Brassey. It was his first wife who achieved distinction as a yachtswoman and as an author, her hest known book being the popular "Voyage of the Sunbeam." She was the first of the English ladies of title to qualify herself as a•sailing-master, and repeatedly navigated her yacht,the Sunbeam, through long and tempestu- ous voyages, and finally met with a death that was at least in keeping with her career. For it was a death in the waves. While on the way from Ceylon to Australia on board the Sunbeam, and when a thousand miles from any land, she mysteriously vanished, leaving no trace. In fact, the only way by which it was possible to account for her disap- pearance was that she must have quietly slipped overboard and dropped into th sea without even a splash to attract the notice of her children or her husband. What her motive can have been for this act of self-destruction it is im- possible to imagine. For if ever there was a level-headed shrewd and clever woman, opposed to nonsense and humbug in every manner and form, it was the first Lady Bras- sey. "FEED THE NATION FROM WITHIN ITS OWN BORDERS."
