PRESERVING FpIrrrc ~ n,Y,y,

PRESERVING FRUITS IN THEIR
OWN JUICE. AS the season of fruits
is now approaching, it may be inter-
esting to our lady readers to bo in
formed of method by which the
most delicate fruits can be preserved
so as to retain their favor for an al
most indefinite. period. Thirteen
bottles of fruits so preserved were
exhibited lately at Rochester, N. Y,
by w. Il. Smith, of Wayne county,
viz: five of cherries, two of peaches,
one of strawberries, three of different
varieties of currants, ono of blackber-
ries, and one of plums. They were
examined by committee, and found
of fine flavor; and the committee
expressed the opinion that the art Of
preserving fruit in this manner is
practicable and valuable, and that
the fruit when carefully put up, can
be made to keep as long as may be
desirable.
The method Of preserving is thus
given to the New York State Society
by A1r. Smith Southern Cultira-
tor.
They are preserved by placing the
bottles, filled with the fruit, in cold
water, and raising the temperature
to the boiling point as quickly as pos
sible: then cork and seal the bottles
in,mediat'I5 varieties of
fruit will not fill the bottle with their
own juice-thcse must be filled with
boiling water and o,ked AS before
mentioned, after the surrounding wa
ter boils.

INVALUABLE REMEDY FOR THE
BITE OF A MAD DoG.--The follow
ing facts which occurred in the coun-
ty of Powhatan, in August, 1897,
may be relied on as veritable history.
and establish beyond question or
doubt the sovereign efficacy OF mer.
curry in obstructing and eradicating
the awful consequences of bite from
animals infected with hydrophobia.
The writer of this was personally
present about the time specified. and
saw a servant boy Of his fathers sciz-
ed by q mad dog, which bit him
in dozen places, inficting ghastly
wounds. An eminent physician be-
ing sent fer, had the wounds washed
with CASTLE soap and a plaster of
mercurial ointment applied to each
wound. Calomcl pills were admins.
tered in the interim, causing saliva.
ton. The boy recovered, and was
living few years ago, never having
manifested the slightest symptoms Of
hydrophobia. A horse and two cows
known to have been bitten by the
same dog the ensuing day went mad
and died. So we'll patis6cd is the
writer that calomel is specific in
such a case, that he would be under
no apprehension Of the delcterious
effects if bitten by dog known to be
mad.
The above is written by a gentle.
man Of unqucstionablc veracity.

DEAR UNCLE JAck:-When I writ my last
letter was goin to rite another straight off,
but every body's bin in sch t1rmile about
the Great Magyar, I amt had no time.
Ant Judy and Uncle Zeke have been run
min hither and yon, fuSt tu the Hungarian So
sation, then Iu see the great Hungarian him
self; till eenamost thought the town was pur-
ty nigh sot on end, and the babies eehaiist
starved out, the way the mothers run bout
spinnin street yarn; and gittn subscriptions
and selin tickets tu git Material Aid'' tn
fight the Austrains.
You'd thought lie was President of the o.
States, instead of the erae Governor of Hun
gary, if you'd seen the stir the people were
in Some of the old folks said "there warn't
so much hubub when Lafayette cum years
ago." folks in them days varnt so clean taken
up with every new idee that cum along, as
they are now-ad days.
Ant Judy, Cuzzin Faith and me, went tn
the meetin of the Ladies' Hungarian Aid
Sosation The meetin was held in the Bur
net House tavern. I've heered tell about
the Aster house tavern in York. but this
beats it all tu smash, its eenamost big enuf
te hold all the folks in Downngsville. We
went into great big room, with the floor all
kivered over with carpet that looked list like
velvet, and tu soft tew tread on. Tt was
crowded chuck full of wimin, iammed in as
tight as the sheep in Square Whites pen
Purity soon Kossuth cum in with a nice
clever locking man, who introduced him tu
the company as soon as he sed hz name, the
wmin ston1pt and cIapped their hands, some
on EN- squeaked out the couldn't see him so
they brought table in and they asked him
to git on il, which made him look good deal
fuster6ed; but bine-by he sed /" he'd better
be on it than under it," SO he stepped up:
aud they we're all so tckled they Screamed
right out
Then they called for Mrs. Kossuth, and
when she cum he helped her up on tu the
table; she looked very good natured and smil-
ed, and then sot down agih. .s...-.
Arter a while they got still, and then he
thanked EN- for the money the'd gin hin. he
hoped they'd gin him sum more, talked abont
Intervention and sof,-soddered EN- about vim
Minis influence, he sgd Congress would in
tcrfere if the Ladies would only say so,,'-
Just as iftbe ,oiaaiin acre lords Of creation.
| When we got home Unke Zeke was waitin
for his dinner. while we were eating he asked
Ant Judy chow she liked Kossuth" she sed,

ALONE WITH GoD.-Alone with God How
solemn, how sublime the ideal How tranquil
izingl how comforting how fraught with i'm
pregnable security, with indefatigable strength
Y ct how awful! Jacob was afraid, and said,
how dreadful is this plaee!" And Peter was
bewildered aud awe struck, while he exelaim-
ed, at is good for US to be here!'
Alone with God! Such is the attitude of
the Christian in prayer. "Then when thou
hast shutth door, pray."-"There are" says
Stilling, "heart sorrows and plaques which the
Christian could not bear to tel! to his most in
innate friends" There are fears which we
dare not whisper into any mortal ear. There
are hopes and joys too vast and glorious to be
impaired. But hen the Christian has his face
in the bosom of his Father, he can breathe forth
all-for when words fail, he resorts to the Ian
guage of sighs and groans for "He knoweth
our thoughts afnr off."-"He that searchest the
heart knoweth what is the mind of the spirit.
He maketh intercesson for the saints according
to the will of God. These are the the work
ings of the interceding Spirit in the heart. The
Infinite Spirit prompts, the Infinite can alone
understand them. Here there is no fear Of
betrayal, of contempt, of lack of appreciation
and sympathy. For we converse with an inf
mite Spirit, whose name is Love, and who had
told us to pour out our hearts before him."
Wonderols privileged Does then This low
ly, mortal, sinful, and suffering state admit Of
such intercourse with God Yesi"Our corn-
munion is with the Father" Thou mayest al
any moment, even at this, in tile name Of Jesus,
enter the palace of the Universal Majeety and
unquestioned by the bright guard that sur
rounds him, penetrate to the recess of his glo-
rious and awful abode, and stand in the very
presence of the king. eternal, immortal, and
invisible" and then make thy requests known
unto God" sure, yes, absolutely sure Of a
gracious hearing and ready answer. For he
hath said, Call upon me and 1 will answer
the Draw nigh TO God and he will draw
nigh to thee"
