Preparation Of Fruit Sy'upS-Most Of
our readers are aware that there are two
different classes Of sugars, the cane sugar,
derived from the cane, the beet ETC., and the
grape sugars, as found in the grape, in honey,
and as prepared artifcially from potatoes
the latter used principally in the fabrication
Of wines. Both forms of sugar have much
the same taste, and cannot be distinguished
readily ia solution. OF the cane sugars,
however, only half the quantity is required
to produce a sweetening effect as of the
other 1t may not be known generally,
however, that cane sugar Jy long boiling
becomes changed into grape sugar, and thus
loses portion of IFS sloeeteniHg po1cer This
takes place not only in the process of clari-
flying, but also in preparing fruit syrups and
preserves. Should the syrups be thickened
by boiling beyond a certain degree, the
grape sugar produced, being only about one
quarter as soluble as cane sugar, separates
after time in the form of white crystals,

Bp1ying Alire-A method for determin.
ing when death has taken place without
actual decomposition, which in very cold
weather might be delayed for weeks has
always been q desideratum.
The fear Of being buried alive, which has
undoubtedly occurred in many instances
has proved a source of anxiety to persons
during life, and Of sad oonjuncture to their
surviving friends. 1t is said that it has been
recently discovered that if the skin of de-
ceased person is blistered, as by holding the
flame of q candle against the body, when
punctured the blister will give out only air
whereas if death has not taken place the
flame causes inflammation and a watery serum
will be deposited under the blister. 1t is
claimed that this is a certain test when ina
biHty to feel the pulse, cold skin, no deposit
of breath on glass; and other methods fail
