How TO PRESERVE CIDER.-At this season
of the year, when so many people are making
or laying away cider for future use, they will
be looking for some mode of preserving it in
sweet or mild form. So here is Professor
Horsford's which has been tried and found
effective "When the cider in the barrel is
undergoing lively fermentation, add as much
white sugar as will be equal to halt or three
quarters of pound to each gallon of cider,
and let the fermentation proceed until the
liquid attains the right taste to suit; then add
All eighth to quarter Of an ounce of sulphite

into the cask, and giving it thorough shaking

days, for the matter added to become incorpo-

from the cask." Don't mistake suluhote of

why it was there. He quietly pointed with his
thumb over his shoulder to his grandmother,
standing close by, and said it was for her She
was very old, and was nearly wearing out the
coffin before SHE was put into it. At funerals
females are hired to do the "nconsolabe

ridiculous that such custom should be kept

THE WEAR OF CoINs.-The efficient and
valuable officers of the Assay Office, in the
United States Mint, have just concluded some
interesting experiments on the question whe
Their the amount OF wear on coin is increased
by extending its surface. The generally re
ceved opinion is that it is. But the fact is the
reverse. The annual wear on the Spanish
quarters is considerably less than on our quar-
tiers Of smaller diameter; and the same result
is found in comparing the thick and thin gold
dollars. The thin dollar, the last issue, wear
the least. 1t is accounted for from the fact
that the thin coin receives a greater compress
sion; and also to the less momentum which
an article of extended surface moves. If the
diameter OF our larger gold coins be made
greater, the thickness will not be sufficient TO
allow of the substitution, by rogues, of pati-
mum, instead Of the gold which they remove
from the centre Of the coin a fraud much prac-
ticcd at the present time.-BoStOn Post
