the work would begin yesterday morn
ing. At one time there was sTpetltion
signed by certainbuBlness men against
fbia extension and some meetings were
held in regard to the matter, but for
the past six months no opposition
worth speaking of had been heard.
However, there was a whisper that
ncrhaus some Dersons mlsht take out
lih injunction and prevent the egin
nins cf work. At all events the street
railway pLchcd the work very rapid'
ly and (lib (xtcnslon greatly pleases
almost every one. Tbe line will run
east a mile, ond then turn northward
about a quarter of a mile, and near
the chapel at the Soldiers Home. ;

the upper tier Into the cell Immediate
ly below In which there are six De

floor of tbe cell was a little thin anj
were trying to force an opening when
ihr discovery was made. This would
merely have pet them in another cell.
and not at large, but tbelr purpose ev

ROSE LEAF JELLY DELICIOUS
It Adds a Tempting Touch to
The
Summer Meal
Rose leaf jelly is a novelty of the
nento to 'serve when summer Is at its
leight of lusciousness, says the June
Designer.
It is made simply by steeping in-
i-nierable rose petals on the back
the stove lor hours, or until the
water which covers them has absorbed
heir scent and substancev-
As they become dissolved through
ong steeping, the water should be
ourceT off, again filled with lnnumer-
tble petals, and the Blow steeping sl
owed to go on as at first. -
At length when the water appears
o absorb nothing more it should be
.trained off through a fine bit of
heese-cloth. To this d fawn-off fluid
hould then be added, sugar in the
roportlon of one cupful to one cup
ul of rose-juice, which combination
nay then be allowed to boll until it
hows signs of congealing.-
In fact, the cooking Is the same as
hat pursued with currant, or any
rther simple jelly. A few drops of
he extract of rose Is sometimes ad
rantageous. to add that the flavor may
be Intensified''
When through its own perversity
he rose sirup will not "jell,' It can
e put by in air-tight jars, and used
later to make Into jelly by the addl
tlon'of a little dissolved gelatine.
