DRYING FnuIT.-Eduors Southern
COLLABORATION ask for the cheapest
and best plan for drying fruits. l do not
know that | can give either the cheapest
or the best, but will give my mothers
plan for drying figs for family use.
They are equally good as the. Mediter-
ranean and keep well the year through.
Gather the figs carefully, when just ripe,
with the stems on, take large needle
and thread and pass through each stem,
not letting them quite touch each other
on the string. Make a syrup of light
brown sugar, using very little water, dip
each string in the syrup and hang to
dry. Ifthe sun is very hot, hang in the
sunshine, if not, hang over and around
the stove, they require to be dried quick
ly to prevent souriug, dip in the syrup
three or four times during the time of
drying, when dry enough pack closely
in boxes or jars. Perhaps scme one
will give aplan for drying on a larger
scale. ,"@o- FIN. W.

TO know how to feed cotton seed raw to
stock II fed them, years before the
war, to my stock of hogs, and when l
left here with my negroes, in 1862, I left
on the place seven hundred head of hogs
raised on cotton seed alone no corn.
Ny plan was to make my hog feeder SOW
the cotton seed broadcast, so as to sepa-
rate the seed, thus forcing the hog to
swallow hull and all. -. e..
My theory was, and is, that it is the
osJof the cotton seed that Kills, not the
hull: I have observed, and / presume
others have done the same, that, if a hog
has access to a pile of cotton seed and a
grass lot at the same time, the seed does
not hurt him, but he grows fat. This is
owing to the fact, he takes in a bulk of
grass sufficient to furnish a supply of
what planters call keeping" If allow
ed access to the seed pile, the hog chews
the seed and gets the oil, but rejects the
h&Lls, and dies of a too rich and concem-
traced food. By my plan he takes the
hulls with the oil, and thus the seed it.

in this way for years and never lost a

I would also call the attention of plan

years, and never lost a head OF stock, by

So lately dead; so soon forgotten3 'ris
the way of the world. Men take us by
the hand. and are anxious about the health
of our bodies. and laugh ut our jokes, and
we really think like the fly on the wheel
that we have something to do with the
turning Of the earth. Some day we die
and are buried. The sun does not stay
for our fnneral; everything goes on a'
usual; we are not missed on the street;
men laugh at Jokes; one or two hearts
feel the wound of affection; one or two
memories hold our forms. The crowd
moves in the daily circle, and in three
days the great wave Of time sweeps over
our steps and washes out the last vestig'
of our lives. But hope looks beyond the
rolling waves Of death, to world where
the sun never sets; the fountain Of life
forever flows; the trees are ever green
and fruitful; the flowers bloom immortal
and where ..there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall
there be any more pain, for the former
things are passed away.

because he Is also complex and progress

What unit Is, or rather what is unit,
and whether there be ono in this universe,
we know not. A grain Of sand Is no more
n unit than the universe is. Aunt has no
parts. A unity Is made up Of parts that
find their unity in their relation to each

is unity. Tho body Is not the man. the

Filtering CiSterns.

Late inquiries on this subject, we see,
aro answered in the old style, giving an
account OF most elaborate work and eX-
pensive outlay. Cisterns are now built in
Western New-York in the simplest and
cheapest manner. When the cistern is
made, let the builder lay of from that side
the pump is to draw from. a section of at
least two feet space and extending entirely
across. Now, rs the side walls go up, he
will build along the line Of this section, a
wall projected on slight curve, say Of six
inches in six feet. The convex side OF
this wall must be towards the side that
receives the water, the concave towards
the pump side. This gives it strength
against sudden showers. The end of the
partition wall must be strongly worked
into the side walls, and the whole carried
up so high the water win never overflow
il. When finishing up Of course, this par
Is not to be plastered. rs the water filters
directly through the body of the bricks.
You will get n taste Of brick for few
weeks in the water, but if they are now
and clean. this soon passes away and the
work Is done for lifetime. 1t may cost
an extra dollar to put in such filter in an
ordinary cistern.-Couniry Gentleman.

trigger. He would have been killed, but
owing to the rain the powder had become
damp. and the gun did not go off. The
merchant put spurs to his horse, and quick

We laughed, and presume others win, at tho
blunder made by q good naturcd fellow from
some rural spot a few miles out Of wateryille.
ON the morning Of "Independence Day." He
was anxious to take the first morning train
from waterville to Lewiston, to sec the balloon
20 up and to make all sure he started early
enough to arrive here about 8 o'clock In the
morning. Sunday night was noisy night in
our village, and superintendent Noyes, dividing
his attention between his plans for getting four
or five thousand men over his road, and the
footing Of classical horns in the streets, had
been trying for the last three hours to coax
himself into q nap, when there was furious
ring ut his door bell. Thinking II part Of the
celebration, Mr.. N. waited for q still more flu
rious repetition, when he jumped from his bed
and throwing up window, cried out with his
