Concord Grape Wine I & II Wine has played an important role in Jewish ceremony and culture throughout the ages. In biblical times the use of wine was obligatory both in public religious functions and for domestic ceremonial occasions. The references to wine as a means of promoting joy, as a sign of the bountiful gifts of providence, and as a token of personal gratitude to the creator are numerous throughout the Bible. How highly wine is regarded in the Bible may be seen from the fact that in a figurative sense Israel is called a vine. Later the rabbis used wine as a metaphor not only to represent Israel but also the Torah, the Messiah, and holy men. In the Talmud it is stated that in the world to come the righteous will drink wine from the grapes grown during the days of creation. The greatest blessing in the conception of the Hebrew people, the blessing of peace, is represented by the picture of a man resting under his vine and fig tree. Abundance of wine is in the Bible an indication of prosperity, and to offer bread and wine to a guest is a sign of friendship and hospitality. The rabbis held that taken in moderation wine is not only a healthful stimulant but is possessed of great curative properties, the best of all medicines. However, drunkeness was strictly forbidden. It was the custom in Talmudic times to give ten cups of wine to mourners with the "meal of consolation". The use of wine has been continued at religious functions in the synagogue and in the Jewish home on all festive occasions to this very day.

Vegetables Vegetables. Few things are more commonly cooked than vegetables, and few things are served more often in an unwholesome and unpalatable form. It is too often thought and said that "any one can cook vegetables," and it is true that few cook them well. Of course, much depends on the freshness and quality of the vegetables themselves, even when well cooked. Green vegetables are never so fine as when freshly gathered, and all vegetables are best in their season, the forced ones lacking in quality and flavor. For chemical reasons cook young green vegetables in hard salted water, and dry vegetables, as dry peas, lima and other beans in soft water, without salt. Put them on in freshly boiling water, boil continuously until tender and drain at once. Have them neither underdone or overdone, if you would have them perfect. Especially is this true of potatoes. Wilted green vegetables may be freshened by sprinkling with cold water. Old potatoes may be improved by soaking in cold water for several hours. Dried beans and peas should be soaked over night in soft water. To keep celery and lettuce fresh roll in a damp napkin and place on ice. When green peas are growing old add a pinch of Wyandotte soda to make them tender. TIMETABLE FOR COOKING VEGETABLES.

How to Preserve a Husband HOW TO PRESERVE A HUSBAND. Be careful in your selection, do not choose too young, and take only such varieties as have been reared in a good moral atmosphere. When once decided upon and selected, let that part remain forever settled, and give your entire thought to preparation for domestic use. Some insist on keeping them in a pickle, while others are constantly getting them into hot water. Even poor varieties may be made sweet, tender, and good by garnishing them with patience, well sweetened with smiles, and flavored with kisses, to taste; then wrap well in a mantle of charity, keep warm with a steady fire of domestic devotion and serve with peaches and cream. When thus prepared they will keep for years. "AUNT HANNAH."
