e THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG. PA. APPLE JELLIES. Extracts From I'pr licnct nt the Main Pomolilcnl Society. Comparatively few people are aware of the great value of apples for Jelly making, and this is more especially true of large raisers of apples. Tne greatest factor that has brought out the Jelly making qualities of apples has teen the Maine State FomoloKlcal Society, which has so generally offered from year to year liberal premiums for tb beat collection of apple Jellies made from llslinct and named varieties of nlea. u has aroused an Interest la the subject and excited Inquiries which have reached groat practical value. At the State Fair last September the ex hibition of apple Jellies was so exten sive and of such a high standard that It was of great Interest to the visitors. Few, If any, varieties of apples aro unsuitable for Jelly, the possible ex ceptions being sweet apples, yet I tare been successful In obtaining a vry good Jelly from Tolman Sweets, and the sweet Baldwin, but as a rule they are not adapted to Jelly making. The variety In color that may be pro duced ranges from the almost white Jelly of the Yellow Transparent apple, to the deep crimson of the Red Astra Chan ,and the flavor from the delicate flavor of the Porter to the sharp acid of the Quince apple. To etate a definite rule by which to make apple Jellies would be difficult and perhaps Impossible. It does not require the first grade of Wles, the second quality of fruit being Just as good, but It Is very necessary that the apple has attained Its full irrowth, Is of good color, and as near ripe as possible. A general rule Is as follows: Quar ter the apples, using peeling and all, as the peel Is In a great measure respon sible for the color of the Jelly. Place the apples in a large porcelain kettle, using to every four quarts of apples, two quarts of water for fall apples, and three quarts of water to four Quarts of apples for winter fruit. Place the kettle upon the stove and allow the apples to cook until they become Just oft, but be careful that they do not cook until mealy, pour into large flan nel bag and allow the Juice to drip ttrough into a dish; It may be well to squeeze the pulp a very little to get the full richness of the apple, being careful not to get any of the pulp into the Juice, as it spoils the clearness of the-Jelly. Now place the Juice in the kettle, having it spread over as large a surface as possible, as it bolls down much more quickly; let it boil rapidly for ten minutes, all the time skimming off whatever scum arises to the top. While the Juice is boiling the first time, have the sugar in the oven heat ing, allowing one pound of sugar to a quart of Juice. When the Juice has boiled for ten minutes, stir in the sugar rapidly and allow It to all dissolve, then strain it again to take out what ever impurities there may be in the sugar. Now allow the Juice to boil in heavy drops from the spoon; this will require, on an average, about ten min utes. Now the Jelly is ready to pour into tumblers. Allow It to cool until thoroughly hard, and place a piece of wax paper over the top; be sure the covers to your tumblers fit tight, thea place in a cool, dry place. .1 la the making of all these Jellies one must necessarily depend some upon Judgment, for some apples will Jelly tuicker than others, some will require a little more sugar, and some a little more water for boiling. It makes a great difference In the time of year when the apple la used; the nearer to the time when the apple is taken from the tree the better. After trying over forty different va rieties, the best returns came from the Porter, Astraohan, Yellow Transpar 2Bt, King Tompkins. Duchess of Olden burg, Billhamhin and Alexander for the fall apples, and the Bellflower, Ben Davis, Greening, and Baldwins for win ter apples. The Porter and Bellflower stand at the head, the Porter being replaced in the winter1 by the Bellflower, and that much abused apple, the Ben Davis, is one of the very beet apples for Jelly. Crimson Clover. Crimson clover was Introduced In this country several years ago by the late Dr. Harzadine, a florist of Dela ware; being a great lover of flowers he was attracted to this plant by its beauty. The rich deep green foliage which may be seen all through tbe winter when not entirely covered with mow, grows deeped and brighter as spring advances, until early in May when the flowers appear and the Hold changes from a deep green to a brll- llant crimson, making a sight to be hold and to remember. At first the value as a forage plant was not under stood, and as a soil restorer was un known. Every one admired lta beauty and numerous plots were grown for or namental purposes, but years elapsed before farmers awoke to Its value as a regular rotation crop. Crimson Clover la now successfully grown in almost ev ery 8tate In the union. It will yield two to three tons of hay to the acre; or eight to ten bushels of seed; it makes a good fall and winter pasture, and 1b alBo a good honey plant, the honey being of light color and excellent flavor. Crimson Clover as a fertilizer has no equal; it sends its deep-feeding roots far into the subsoil to gather and bring to the surface elements of fer Crlmson Clover is an annual and must tlllty that would bo otherwise lost. It should be sown in its proper season, this extends from the first of July until the last of September. About one peck of seed is required to sow an acre. Uarl U. Cllne, Columbus, Ohio.

The gre ut point to be observed is, that it is not to be allowed to become sour and 111-sir.elllng. Sweet, it may be used either as a drink or for mixing with soft feed.

We have all read of visiting the bot tom of the sea by means of a diving bell, but it has been left to an Italian resident of Franco to Invent a cabin tor the same purpose. The inventor's name Is M. Plnttl del Pozzo. He calls bis apparatus a submarine worker ,and it seems a remarkable affair of Its kind. It has Just bern successfully tried, the bed of the Seine belug used as the field of operations. It consists of an enormous bowl or globe, steel plated and capable of re sisting the strongest pressure. It la nine feet nine inches in diameter, weighs ten tons and Is moved by three screws and a helm worked by electric ity. In the apparatus are two boxes, or tanks, filled with ballast, which, when turned over, enable the invention to rise from the bottom to the sur face of tho water. There are also coni cal tubes, furnished with powerful lenses, which permit the exterior ob jects and ground to be clearly seen. Entrance is affected by a manhole, and the apparatus is kept in communi cation with a boat or with the shore by means of a cable. The cabin is reached by a ludder and is lighted by pkctriclty. From this cabin every thing outside the machine, such as Bhovels, picks and grappling Irons, can be manipulated by means of levers or hand-spikes. The cabin contained sufficient air for the four person who went down in it recently to last them forty-eight hours. The Inventor states that half a dozen people could comfortably remain in the interior and breathe without fear of rarefectlon of the air for the space of half a day. M. Pozzo also affirms that there Is no danger likely to be incur red by his big apparatus. Persons in the interior can communicate with the boat or the land by telephone, and even if the solid suspending cable were to give away, the ballast could be over turned by touching a lever, and the globe would ascend to the top of the water. The descent to the Seine's bed was effected under the railway bridge at Cholsyle-Roi, outside the fortifications, and everything went off successfully. The submarine worker Is to be tested In deep sea depths at Havre and Brest, Great things in fact are expected from the machine by its inventor, who has certainly gone a considerably way to ward making realities of some of the efTects of the Imagination of that dis tinguished story-splnnor and fllctionlst of the marvelous Jule Verne. Who knows what the submarine worker is destined to accomplish? It may discover the exact whereabouts of the Ill-fated Drummond Castle, and of other big wrecks. It will be of im mense use in the pearl, coral and sponge fisheries, and In laying or re pairing cables. Al 1th Is will depend however, on the sea tests. For the present it is sufficient to know it has been successfully tried in Paris. If Impracticable at sea it will provide another amusement and recreation for visitors and residents of Paris, who, when they have exhausted the curi osities of the catacombs and been in boats through the big drains, can then descend comfortably into the bed of the Seine and inspect tbe homes of the gudegon, for which Parisian Waltons so energetically fish throughout sever al months In the year. Many persons may be inclined to re gard this as a Joke of some clever in ventor, but it is nothing of the sort. It is, in fact, say the French scientists, one of the most clever ideas of the year and there is no reason to doubt its en tire practicability. If It reaches in France the measure of success which It is believed will attend it, the invent or, M. Pozzo, declares he will himself come to the United States with it, and demonstrate in New York harbor the truthfulness of his claims. Philadel hia Times. Lucky Stones. A pushing young business man who nas succeeded in forming a partnership in which his experience and knowledge are put in at the same value as the other fellow's money, finds an unex pected amount of amusement thrown in with the arrangement. "That part ner of mine," he says, "keeps me in a good humor, no matter how hot tbe weather or how dull business may be. So far as an outsider could Judge of him be simply hangs about the place, kicks the office boy occasionally as an evidence of authority, puts his feet on bis desk and smokes good cigars. But when I And him whittling on a piece of pine or trying to draw pictures on tin back of a blotter, I know that he is evolving some scheme that is liable to keep our profits up to the safety mark. " 'Jim,' ho said the other morning while he was making the shavings fly like a planing mill, 'I made a funny sort of sale this mornlu'. When Johnnie an' me were fish in', he gathered up about a peck of the smooth white peb bles, some of them streaked with red. The kid forgot to take them homo end left them In tbut bag there at the end f the cigar case. When a flashy lookln' chaD comes In his morntn' to get a smoke, he asks me what the pebbles was. It Just popped in my way to tell b!m that they were lucky stones. Not to be warn as charms, but curried in the pocket, not to bo seen or handled by any one else.' Ho took three at 25 cents apiece, for I told him the duty was going to be Increased and tbe price would be doubled. Ho's a horse race fellow, and It he happens to win to Jay look out for a run.' "Sure enough, they came thick and fast men, boys and women, for it doesn't take such a thing long to get noised about. I didn't quite approve, but my partner took charge of the lucky stone department aud would per mit no Interference.- He has cleared up over 1200 and the run Is still on. He tells me be has a better thing than iat hatching." Roatl Maps. A new Idea In road maps for cyclcra ind drivers consists in printing te Dutllne of a road on a long scrip of paper, which is wound on two drums n front of thesjrlder, and may be oper itcd by a thumb wheel on one of the Irums to show the route as the driver passes. , THE POWDER HABIT. An Inlet-mtlng Story nf How n rowder I'ufT Kept ) I.aily Cool. She boarded an Indiana avenue car and carefully selected a front seat. The heat was almost unbearable, yet she eerned cool and comfortable. Her com panion, whose skin was somewhat more swarthy, looked offensively but. She cast furtive side glances at her friend and drew mental comparisons. It was not that they were dressed dif ferentlyboth wore shirt waists, light skirts and sailor hats. Finally, exas perated beyond endurance, unable to solve the myBtery, she put the ques tion frankly: "How is It that you manage to keep cool when other peo ple look as though they were made of soft soap?" The other, disposed to be good na tured and unable to withstand so iu genuous an appeal, let her into the se cret: ' "Why, it's very simple," oho said, "and If you promise not to tell my dearest foil I'll let you know. You see, this purse I have isn't' a purso at all." "This purse you have isn't a purse at all?" the hot girl repeated, more uystlfieil than ever. "See here, goosie" then they crowd ed so close together that it was hard to get a'gllmpse between their shoulders at a tiny case made in the form of an ordinary leather purse, lined on both ildes with looking glass. In the centre a us an oil-silk pouch, inclosing a good ly bit of powder and a little fluffy iwan's down puff with a loop of baby ribbon for a handle. A small tortoise ihell comb completed the outfit. "Now, you know." she went on, "why I always take the front seat never anybody facing me here then I " The rest was done In pantomine. With tho purse open at the proper angle to :atch the charming reflection, she be gan, softly touching the puff to her forehead, nose and chin. The other flrl followed the example with wonder ful success. All the greasy look dls jppeared from her face, leaving her skin as smooth and cool looking as .ould be desired. With a glance of sat sfaction at herself and one of profound idmlratlon at her friend, she said, un iffectedly: "My dear girl, thanks. You certainly ire a genius." Then she sat back and wondered whether the dear girl would sver have disclosed the secret if she aad not at that moment been some .hat in need of the puff herself. Two-thirds of the women in Chicago lave the powder habit, aud their skins, iccuatomed to the refreshing puff, re fuse to look respectable without it. Many are the methods resorted to to aave the necfumry article always tbout, and the multiplicity of models .'or "touching up" without detection prove the Ingenuity of the-gex. Many ocketless damsels carrr powdered ihamols fastened securely to the gar :er clasps. Recently Imported pairs of illk stockings have tiny pockets in tho nslde of each one Just large enough for i wee round mirror and a puff they :ome with the pockets filled to indl :ate their use. Chicago Time6-Herald. Demlly High Collars. High collars are still in style, but 'ew people realize that the wearing of horn is fraught with much danger. It 8 essential for general health to leave ;he neck free. Dr. Pirtes of Cairo re cently reported a case of a gentleman ho was almost strangled by a high itandlng collar. It was a difficult natter to restore him to consciousness ind life. This is not the only case of he kind. Not long ago a wealthy ftencn gentleman was found dead In ;he Compartment of a railroad car on ;he arrival of the train at Paris from Vice. The inquest and the autopsy evealed that the traveler had not met vlth foul play but had been strangled oy a standing collar. At a point very lear the Adam's apple there Is a spot vhlch It 1b very dangerous to compress. When this is done respiration stops mddenly and asphyxiation will ensue i the pressure is long enough. A col ar which Is taeomtortable when the rearer Is standing will be more so when he eitg down, and should he fall isleop in a sitting position it Is likely to press upon the very point it will do ;he most harm. It is possible that un sonsclousness will set in during sleep !rom the effect of this pressure, and :he fatal termination in the case Just mentioned proves the danger of wear ng high collars. Philadelphia Record. How to Drink Water. The effects produced by the drinking f water vary with the manner in which it is drunk. If, for Instance, a pint of cold water be swallowed as a arge draught, or if it be taken in two jortlons with a short interval between, :ertaln definite effects follow effects K'blca differ from those which would lave resulted from the same quantity :aken by sipping. Sipping is a powerful stimulant to he circulation a thing which ordinary irinking is not. During the act of sip ping the action of the nerve which ilows the beats of the heart is abolish id and as a consequence that organ iontracts much more rapidly, the pulse seats more quickly, and the circulation n various parts of the body Is increas 1.

When the Secern d Empire was in the height of Its glory there were mauy marvelously beautiful women collected at the Court of Napoleon and Eugenie, but, the most beautiful of them all was that peerless creature, the Comtesse de CutsUolioire, who played such havoc with men's hearts, and especially with the Emperor's. All the glory and the glitter and the splendor of those days have fled. Only tbe stark memory of it is left, and the once lovely Comtesse is now old and ugly and disabled. Sbo resides in a quiet street in Paris, and is without friends or relatives, and is poor and pitifully dlsablud.

United Mine Workers Hot After Anthracite Men. A vigorous attempt is being made by the national officials of the United Mine Workers of America to organize the anthracite miners of Eastern Pennsylvanii during the present gen eral uprising in that field. National Secretary Pearce stated Friday night that every effort will be strained to push this organization. Locals have already been formed, five at McAdoo, one at Beaver Meadow, three at Kel yars and one at Charleroi, and sup plies were forwarded to those places Friday. It is hoped to organize the miners of Coxe Brothers and the Lehigh Valley Company. Now that the entire region is in great disorder, the miners' officials believe that the opportunity of a life time is at hand, and they will grasp it, notwithstanding the depleted con dition of the treasury as a result of the sott coal strike just settled. Mr. Pearce is confident that 10,000 hard coal miners will thus be brought in. MAY BRING OUT 20,000 OTHERS. The present condition among the miners of the 'Vyoming region is one ot unrest, and intlamatory utterances may make trouble. There are 20,000 miners and laborers in the Wilkes barre and adjacent workings, and a strike among them would be moe serious than that at Ilazleton. About 100 driver boys struck at Nanticoke Friday afternoon at the shaft of the Susquehanna Coal Com pany. The difficulty was about the purchase of whips, and the superin tendent held a conference with a committee and adjusted the difficulty. Cascarets stimulate liver, kidneys and bowels.
