Only have enough of <he little virtues and common fidelities and you need not mourn because you are neither a hero nor a saint.—Henry Ward Beecher. Ways With Fresh Fruits. With the ever-bearing strawberry becoming so well known and common we do not need to liinit ourselves to a few short weeks of the delicious berry, as it ripens until frost time. Fresh solid berries, crushed and mixed with their bulk in sugar, may be put in sterile cans and kept in a cool place without any further care, as they wdll keep well until spring, or as long as one wishes to keep them. The wild raspberry is dollclous canned in the old-fashioned way. Pack the fruit into jars and fill with boiling hot sirup, then set them in the oven until the juice boils; seal at once, and the fruit will keep good in color and excellent in flavor. Fresh raspberries may be crushed and mixed with sugar in the same way the strawberries are canned, or currants; any small fruit that is thoroughly crushed will keep perfectly. Fruit juices of any kind, accented with a touch of lemon juice, sweetened to taste, and rich thin cream added, make most appetizing frozen dishes.
