TALK ABOUT FKKBKBVTNO FRUITS.
In no other ofhouse-keeping has
iherebeeu so great progress, daring the past
dozen year*, as in the preservation of fruits,
it is new practicable to have a supply all the
year, nearly as good as the fresh picked, fn
stead of the dried apples, peaches, cherries
and currants, and the concentrated costly
jars of preserves to be brought out only for
■'company/' or special occasions, it is now
easy, and economical in money as well as In
health, to have a daily supply of good, natu
rally Savored, almost fresh pie-plant, straw
berries. cherries, blackberries, raspberries,
peaches, pears, huckleberries, apple sauce,
etc. The fruit thus kept, is healthful, and
with high-priced butter a cheap bottle of nice
fruit upon the tea table, is economical, as ii
furnishes both nutriment and condiment.
There are various contrivances and meth
ods for accomplishing the object, aud each
season brings P ut from half a dozen to two
dozen new devices. ' n what follows, we speak
wholly from home experience, remarking
/.at we have latterly' been almost uniformity
• ii. cc-sfu! in securing a toll supply "f cariou,
fruits that have been agreeable to the home
circle as well as to visitors. The chief requi
sites, after the truiU, are : Some good, con
venient form of W.&tf or cans, a cooking
vessel, aud sugar.
THE FEIITS. Fruits cf all kind* art easih
preserved, as are also rhubarb or pie-planf,
nd tomatoes. The main supply of fruit.-
i roper for the year consists, in the order o 1
abundance: Ist, of peaches, when plenty
-ind, strawberries ; 3rd cherries, when plenty
4th. pears ; 5, raspberries and blackberries ;
••ih ; huckleberries, etc. Apple sauce is put
up plentifully at different seasons, usually in
the bottles used for other fruits. Pie-plant
and tomatoes, are preserved in large qaanti
ues. so as to have an abtmdance. whenever
wanted, until they come again. Ttide ed all
the fruits are put up in supply to last .until a
new crop of each, and in a season of special
abundance, a two years' stock is laid in. M t
seldom find much difference in bottles ol
fruit opened after one, two, and sometimes
even three years.
BOTTLES AXD CANS. We have used a doz
en different kinds, and succeeded with most
of them, but have latterly settled down upon
a simple form of glass bottle, usually quart
size, for everything but tomatoes, and in pari
for these. Our chief failures have been with
some tomatoes carefully put up in glass hot
des, which fermented : yet we shall continue
to use these, expecting that further experi
ence will secure unfailing success. We have
never failed with tomatoes in sealed tin cans,
large or small, and they do not seem to ad
upon the tin at all. Glass is always prefers
ble, however, for all preserved fruits, as ur.
pleasant effects may sometimes result from
corrosion. Any kind of glass bottles wil
answer, iftbe neck be large enough to receiv*
the fruit handily, and of such form as tc
admit of tight corking,—if soft corks of gotn
quality can be obtained to fit them. If th
corks are softened in hot water, pressed ii
firmly, end covered tightly with wax and t
cloth tied over, or with a well waxed clot!
tied on, they answer. A corked bottle invert
ed into a Httletin dish or patty-pan, or in J
saucer, containing a spoonful OT two ot ce
me nt, is effectually closed, if care be taker
not to leave any air bubbles around the edge
The cement used is, 1J ounces oftallow melt
ed with I pound of common resin, in a tin o;
iron vessel. Make in quantity, and heat i
-up as often as needed ; every melting im
proves it. The only care required, in using
wax for closing the bottle mouths. it is U
have the necks wiped clean after the frnitii
put in. so that the wax adhere firmly to tlx
glass.
We now mainly use some kind of the pat
cnu-d bottles with covers closing upon an In
rubber riag, whicL dispenses with wax
A ny form that will absolutely shut out all ac
of air. will answer every purpose. W.
as* most of toe '"Baker,"' or "Potter & Bo
dine'' Jar, which is a wide mouthed quar
bottle, with a tin or glass cover upon an Indi:
rubber ring, and held by a half oval clam]
that is pressed down by turning a half screv
swelling or projection upon the outside of th.
bottle-neck. These are quickly put on am
taken off. Any good form of bottles, thougl
costing most at first, will in the end be th.
cheapest, as they will last tor- many years
with an occasional renewal of cheap rul.be
rings. We seldom break more than one o:
three bottles in a hundred, in a year's use.
THE COOEIKG VESSEL. The best is th.
; r on -porcelain kettles, now quite common
which art very convenient ior many cooking
purposes. They are iron vessels coated oi
the inside with porcelain, or with the earthei
ware, glazed. One holding five or six qnarfa
will answer. Wide flat ones are preferable
Copper or even brass vessels, if well cleaned
will do ; or a tin pail or pan can be used.
Tax SCCAK. For very nice preserved frui
* whr.e pesche_ and pears, the best Refiner
A sugar is desirable, and for all kinds, wi
ihiuk sugar as good as the Refined B is best
and even cheapest on the whole. For apple
Nance, put into cans for general family use
Cor the beat light brown, will answer.—Ou:
rule is, to use just sugar enough to fit the dif
'•-rent kinds of fruit for the table. Bonn
families like more, and some less; hencen<
'efinite rule can be given. For the eweetei
fruits, strawberries, peaches, sweet pears
huckleberries, and the like, we use from 4 tt
tt Ibe. of sugar to the gallon of water, or U
f lb. to the pint. For more acid fruits, a.
cherries, plums, sour pears, currants, oral
apples, etc., about 1 lb. to the pint, more oi
less, according to the acidity, and ripencsss
SKLXCTIXG AXO PaEi'AKI.VG THE PLLTV. Al
a rale, choose fully ripe fruit, but not tha
over-ripe. A soft or decaying spot may in
..iirethe flavor, and tend to decay the whole
If too green, the flavor will be inferior. Th<
berry fruits are to be sorted, defective ones
rejee'ed, stems and hulls removed, aud care
'-i> quickly washed if soiled,
though this is always to be avoided if possi
ble, as it injures the flavor, especially of rasp
berries aud ttrawherriee. Peaches pears etc.
need paring. Some scald peaches, to aid in
removing the thin skin, but they are better
tared. They may be preserved whole, but
are better cut in halves and the pits removed.

The Grovcr and Baker Elastic-Stitch sewing
Machines are superior to all others for tbc lollow
ing reasons :
3. They sew direct frem the spool , and require
no rewinding of thread.
2. They are more easily understood and used,
and less liable to derangement than other ma
chines.
.3. They are capable of executing perfectly,
without change of adjustment, a much greater
variety of work than other machines.
4. The stitch made by these machines is much
more firm, elastic, and durable, especially upon
articles which require to be washed and ironed,
than any other stitch.
5. This stiteli, owing to the manner in which
the under thread is inwrought, is much the most
plump und beautiful in us •, and retains this
plumpness and beauty even upon articles frequent
ly washed and ironed until they are worn out.
6. The structure of the scant is such that,
though it be cut or broken at intervals of only a
few stitches, it will neither open, run, or ravoL
but remains firm and durable.
7. Unlike other machines, these fasten both
ends of the scam by their own operation.
8. With tbeise machines, while silk is nsod upon
tho right or face side of the seam, cotton may be
used upon the other side without lessening the
strength or durability of the seam. This can be
done on other machine, and is a great saving
upon all articles stitched or made up with silk.
These machines, in addition to their superior
merits as inslruments for sewing, by a change of
adjustment, easiiV learned and practiced, execute
the most beautiful and permanent embroidery and
ornamental work.

OF THE
ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.
BY WILLIAM SWVNTON.
Standard History of the Grand Army.
THE GREATEST WORK ON THE WAR.
Universally endorsed by army officers and the
press. The author say-:
"1 design in this volume to record what that
Army did and suffered in ten campaigns and two
score battles.'/
"I shall have to celebrate the unswerving loy
alty of this army, that oft limes when the bond of
military cohesion failed, held it, unshaken of for*
time, <0 a duty self imposed."
"I shall hgvc to follow it through a checkered
experience, in a talc commingled of great misfor
tunes, great follies and great glories: but from
first to last it will appear that, amid many buffets
of fortune, through "winter and rough weather,"
the Army of the Potomac never gave up, but
made a good fight, and tioaily reached the goal."
The Army and Navy Journal say-:
"This is the only American critical work on the
late war, end it is thoroughly critical and entirely
divested of all political hue or tone."
Tbis is th only history of the "Grand Army,"
and no one who has borne a part in its conflicts,
or is interested in its grand achievements, should
be without it.
