CA.VXI.V'i FRCIT.
Experience is of course the best teacher,
for the exigencies of each kitul of froit re
quire a different treatment; still there art
a few general rule- that one should aiwav
l>ear in mind.
The first is that the fin't should be per
fectly sweet and in good condition in even
respect when used; if raspberries tor in
stance, are allowed to stand over night,
thev might just as well be thrown to tin
pig- or converted into vinegar. Straw
should be gathered ia .sh;i"ow vessel- in
order that the ones lirst gathered sha!
not be completely crushed, while peaches
pears. and apples, must be picked from th<
tree by hand.
Another rule is to have all the jars fresh
ly washed, wiped dry. and put near cnougl
to the stove to heat gradually, having pre
viously fitted a top and rubber to each jar.
How many times r have filled ajar to the
brim only to find that there was not atop
on the place to fit, I shonld r.ot like to ad
mit.
A third requisite is that thejur should
be quite warm, hot almost, when the first
spoonful of fruit touches it; this will permit
you to put in the fruit boiling hot without
breaking the jar. Another precaution, and
one which can scarcely be too much insist
ed on, is that the rim of the jar should be
wiped dry before the top is screwed lown;
lie careful also to fill the jar as near the
brim as possible without running it over,
as the most important thing of all is that
the air should be entirely excluded. For
several days following try the tops every
day, for it is not often you can get them
really tight the first time. We have lost
the contents of numbers of jars simply
through neglect of this one thing.
Many pcrHOtis advise canning froit ■with
out sugar, declaring that the sugar adds
nothing to its keeping quality, but our ox
perience not only proves that fruit some
what sweetened is much more likely to
keep, but also that far less sugar is rear
ed to render it palatable when eate! . It
in almost impossible to sw -aten apples that
have been banned without sugar, while
peaches and pears have a certain vapid
taste that is not at all desirable though
they are not quite so sour. Nearly all !; .1 it
is nicer canned in such a mauuer as to pre-
-eive the pieces in their original shape,
and this is best accomplished by ma! : ng a
thin syrup and making it boiling hot when
the peaches are dropped into it. Ibefrait
should then boil but a few minutes and
that without stilting, except to press down
those pi"ce< that persist in floating on
top. When all is ready, fill the jar with
the pieces of fruit, dipping them up gently
without breaking the others, and pour the
syrup over it, taking care that all the tiny
bubbles shall rise to the top and disappear.
If any syrup remains in the kettle it tna\'
be strained and used a second lime, as a
very little sugar goes a long way in can
uing fruit.
A nice way to can tomatoes is to diop
them in the jar as soon as they are peeled,
pouring over them the juice tliat has ion
from them during the operation. Then
place the jars in a large baking pan that
has pauially been tilled with cold water,on
the stove; lirst taking the precaution to
lay a folded cloth in tho bottom of the pan
to prevent the heat (rom b, making the jars.
Have ready some tomatoes in another ves
sel on the stove,,lor as those in the jars get
hot they shrink considerably and need to
lie replenished from another source. After
boiling for only a few minutes fi'l the jars
to the brim, wipe dry, and sc. jw down the
tops. Canned in this way tomatoes retain
their perfect shape and almost their de
lightful flavor, and when sliced cold and
sprinkled lightly with salt and pepper can
scarcely be distinguished from the fresh
fruit.
When preparing apples, peaches, pears,
and other fruit of that nature for canning,
always have a vessel of cold water ready
to drop the pieces into; the water not only
keeps the fruit linn but prevents its tn.u
ifig dark. If you want your 1 uit to look
specially nice, he careful to cut away all
braised portions, every particle of the core,
and keep the pieces as large as possible.
A cool, dark cellar, where the tempera
tp-e never drops to the fr "zing point iij
winter, or rises to summer heat, is tin; beot
place for keeping fuiit in glass jars; though
if much li;rhl be admitted each jar should
be enveloped in several thickne ;cs of
brown paper, for it is believed that the ac
tion of sunlight causes fruit and vegetables
to ferment. They will keep very nicely,
however, during summer and early autumn
in a moderately cool closet, retneinhering
to remove them before the freezing winter
weather, else both the jars and their con
tents will be lost, and in lifting them he
careful to keep the jars in an upright po
sition and to jostle them us little as pos
sible.
After one understands the true method
of conning and keeping ii uit, it seeuis very
simple, uuil not at all the mystery which
the uninitiated complain of, while the
pleasure and great convenience of having
it always r .dy will fully icpay even the
busiest housekeeper for the time spent in
mastering the art.

Remarkable Dreams.
One of the best authenticated stories of
rennirkable dreams is that of (ieoll'rcy
Watts, who was a mechanic in Kugland.
He was employed by a shot maker, and his
work was to cut countless little cubes of
lead and tei.i them in a revolving bawel
until they were woiii round by .' iction.
For many years Watts racked his brain
to invent some better method of making
shot than this, but to 110 purpose. One
lie dn ..nit lie saw melted led raining
Irom tin' sky, and that each drop was round
In iiic induing Watts, trembPng with
anxiety, carried a cup lull of melted leud to
the top of the church tower and threw it
down into a ahallowpond. Hurryingdown
he fnund in the water pei.'ect shot. The
shot tower was the tangible result of his
dream.
Onr rrn.lcrs are probably all familiar
with tin' woiidciful poem of Kuhlai Khan,
which came to Coleridge in a dream, com
plete in me.iii'ng, rhythm and rhyme.
In-tanci • i re not rare of such triumphs
of the brain during sleep. Alexander
Cumphe 1, one of the foremost linguists of
the last century, declared that when a phil
ological problem was too hard a nut lor
him to crack, In dreamed ol it, ami usua'
ly awoke w.th the meaning clear ill his
mind.
—There is in the Treasury vault at
Washington pretty nearly a pi it of din
monds and other precious stones, gills to

: Human Nature on the High
way.
It wa.s on a highway running into a city
! in Pennsylvania; one man was driving out
I with a load of brick and the other driving
in with a load of hay. Both attempted to
get the best side of .a mml-hole, and as a
consequence their teams eameheadtohead
• and stopped.
•'Ton, there!" shouted tho brick man.
I "You, there, yourself?" replied the oth
er.
"Going to turn out?"
"So."
"Neither will I."
'•I'll stay here a whole year first."
"And I'll stay ten of them!"'
Both proceeded to make himself as com
fortable as possible, and to appear care
less and indifferent as to results. Other
travelers took the other side of the hole,
and passed them by, so it became a ques
tion of endurance. At the end ol an hour
the bay man said:
••If there's any one man I hate above
another it's human hog!"
"Then it'« a wonder you haven t hated
yourself to death!" was the retort, and
silence reigned supreme again. Anoth
er hour passed, and the brick man observ -
ed:
"I'm going to sleep, and I hope you
won't disturb nie."
"Just what I was going to ask of you,
replied the hay man.
Both pretended to sleep, but at the end
of the third hour the hay man suddenly
ca'led out;
"Say! You are a caused mean man!
"The same to you!"
"Where arc you going with thos:
brick'"
"Four utiles out, to John Dayton s.
Where are you goinii with your hay .'
'•To Stiner's brickyard."
"Say, man, I'm John Dayton myself,
and I'vo traded this hay for brick!"
"Well, I'm young Stiner. and I was
driving the first load out!"
"What fools we are! Here, take all the
road."
"So —no —let me turn out."
"I'll turn."
"So —let me "
And in their haste to do the polite thing
the load of hay was upset and a wheel tak
en off the brick wagon.
A Bird Attacks a Team.
It is reported, says the Corry /• Iyer, that
IC} las King, liv'ng near I'niou City, was
ploughing 011 his farm a short time ago.
when a monster bird came Hying past and
when directly over the team darted down
with wonderful force on the neck of one of
the horses. Fortunately it st.iiik the heavy
horse collar and d'd no damage. The
horses were badly frightened and tried to
run and by the time Mr. K-'ug had quieted
them down he noticed that the sheep end
cattle near by seemed to be in consteir"
tion. He went to sec what was 'riie mailer
and found the bird had ki'led a large sheep
and was ravenously devontlng ii.. He
went into the house and secured an old
gnn that bad not been shot for years loaded
it and succeeded in shooting the bird
through the breast. It was of a species
ut'Oimiliar in this country, having a very
la r ge beak and long talons and measures
over s : x i'eet IV O;II tiptotip. It was thought
to he a Souili American bird, and Mr. King
said from its work 011 the sheep In; thought
it must have been 011 a long fast, 'lolera
