Preserves etc.-Preserves should be kept
carefully from the air, and in very dry
place. Unless they have a very small
proportion Of sugar, warm one does not
hurt them; but when not properly boiled,
heat makes them ferment, and damp caus-
es them to grow moully. They should
be looked at two or three times in the first
two months, that they may be gently boil
ed again if not likely to keep. Paste the
edge of the outer paper, as it keeps out the
air better than a string; put writing pa
per over the fruit.

LITTLE BROWN HANDS.

They drive home the cows from the pastures
Up through the long shady lane,
Where the qualls whistle loud in the wheat
fields
That are yellow with ripening grain.
They find in the thick waving grasses,
Where the scarlet-lipped strawberry grows
They gather the earliest snowdrops
And the first crimson blood of the rose.
They toss the new hay in the meadow;
They gather the elder bloom white;
They find where the dusky grapes purple
In the soft tinted October light.
They know where the apples hang ripest,
And are sweeter than Italy vines
They know where the fruit hang the thickest
On the long thorny blackberry vines.
They gather the dalicate sea weeds,
And build tiny castles of sand;
They pick up the beautiful sea-shells-
Fairy banks that have drifted to land
They wave from the tall, rocking tree tops,
Where the orioles hammock nest swings.
And at nighttime are folded in slumber
By song that fond mother sings.
Those who toll bravely are strongest;
The humble and poor become great;
Shall grow mighty rulers of State.
The pen Of the author and statesman
The noble and wise of the land
The sword and the chisel and palette,
Shall be held in the little brown hand.

BUILDING A CHEAP Ice Houss.-Wm.
Hedge, in the Western Rural, gives his
plan, as follows:
Last January drew one large load Of
saw dust and spread on the ground on the
north side of my horse barn, then drew the
ice (sawed in square cakes) and built up a
square pile some eight by ten feet and sew
eli or eight feet high, filing up the spaces
between the cakes with pounded ice. I
then set up scantling and built board
house around it, two feet larger each way
than the ice; then ell in saw dust around,
and two Or three feet on top and covered
with boards and slabs. We have used
freely through the season, sold to picnic
parties, given away to sick neighbors, and
have plenty yet.

A NEW MODE OF Sailing BUTTER, ETC

A NEW MODE OF Sailing BUTTER, ETC.
Salt the cream before churning, instead
of the butter. It takes more salt, of
course, as the buttermilk will take about
as much as the butter but then it is salt
ed erenly. and l think the butter less apt
to be streaky. Good dairaics do not turn
out streaky, underworked or overwo-ked
butter, / know-but then all dairymaids
are not up to the business, and some cows
do not give enough to pay for a professed
hand Cor Practical Farmer.

THE DUCHESS OF SUTHERLAND. "A letter

THE DUCHESS OF SUTHERLAND. "A letter
som London referring TO the late Duchess of
Sutherland remarks;
The name of the Duchess OF Sutherland was
,oea as familiar TO Americans as at home. She
wss undoubtedly one Of TIE most superior wO-
men OF her age, and Tor long series OF years
sIood at the head Of the female aristOcracy OF
Eugland. She might still have maintained
tbaf position had it not been for the peculiar
snSOms and traditions of English social life
The moment her husband died, though he had
olvays been a comparative nOnenhtv, the
crovn and laurel wreath fell from her brow, and
sSe sank at once, though in the full bloom of
mature womanhood, into the diSagreeable cate
gorv OF dowagers, and has scarcely been heard
Of 10 society since Her magnificent mansion
in London, the far-famed Stafford House, took
anew master and mistress, who then first
emerged into society, and the youth and beauty
Of the new Duchess, with the eccentrlcitles OF
the new Duke, soon drove the memory OF the
Dowager Duchess from the alistOcrauc mind.
To those who knsw her well, however, the
lady just now passed away will always be the
Duchess OF Sutherland. By her death the
Queen has lost another OF her warmest and tru-
est friends, and it may be said that she was al
most the last of the circle that surrounded her
Majesty when she first assumed the royal robes.
At the Stafford House, more than at any other
similar one In the kingdom, were always wei
coined Americans OF standing and respectable
ity of both sexes, and il may be added without
distinction of color" To all such guests the
Duchess of Sutherland extended her hospital
iy, and, in consequence, secured TO herself
host of friends by whom her memory will be
cherished
