Making Sour Krant.

This is the appropriate season for max
ing sour kraut, which is not only a pre-
paration of cabbage highly relished = by
many, but an easy economic method Of
keeping cabbage ready for use through the
wlnter. The Germantown Telegraph,
good authority, gives the mode of making
as follows In the first place, let your
stand holding from half barrel to
barrel, be thoroughly scalded. Take off
all the outer leaves of the cabbages, halve
them, remove tie heart and proceed with
the cutting. Lay some clean leaves at the
bottom of the stand, sprinkle with hand
full of salt, fill in half a bushel of cut
cabbage. stamp gently until the juice just
makes its appearance, then add another
handful of salt, and so on until the stand
is full. Cover over with cabbage leaves,
place on top a clean board fitting the
space pretty we'll, and on top of that
stone weighing twelve or fifteen pounds,
Stand away in cool place, and when
hard freezing comes on remove to the
cellar. Il will be ready for use in from
four to six weeks. The cabbage should
be cut tolerably coarse. Tue Savoy
variety makes the best article, but it is
only half as productive as the Drumhead
and Flat Datch.'

SeTaPing and Washing Fruit Treea

Peahaps October and November, says
the Germanto,ca Telegraph, are the two
best months of the year for scraping and
washing fruit trees-apples and pears
The insects which hide in the bark and
crevices of the trees have by that time
retired to their winter quarters, and can
be easily destroyed. There is nothing
equal as wash with which to scrub the
trees than preparation of say one pound
OF wha coil soap to a large bucket of
water, we'll dissolved. There is nothing
more nauscous to insects than this. Il
will lay cold everything that we have
tried 1t on but the curculio-that how
ever, cares no more for the mixture, even
though accompanied with sulphur, lime
water and tobacco juice, than if it were a
glngerly dose fpure spring water. But
rose-bugs, and the steel-blue grape bug,
surrender to its power ineontinently.-
Every farmer and gardener ought to have
a supply of this soap Ga hand for use
whenever necessary. Apple and pear
trees we'll scraped and then washed with
this preparation will not only be freed
from some of the chief insects proving
upon foliage and fruit but will scnsibly
feel its invigorating effects.

THE RED COLOR OF THE AURORA
BOREAL1S.

Mr. Daniel K. Winder writes to the
editor Of the Toronto 6 lobe supposition
on the cause Of the deep red color Of the
recent displays in that section of the
aurora. He says:
find indications that the red light is
due TO the passage Of the polar light
through stratum of infinitely divided
meteoric matter, just as the rays of sun
light appear red when passing through
atmosphere loaded With smoke. This
conclusion is partially confirmed by ex-
pertinent made by myself on the evening
OF October "a. On this occasion the
bright red light was succeeded by the
usual gray raist of frozen vapor, which
increased in density to very unsual ex-
tent. Feeling sure that this dense matter
must be falling to the earth, I at once
thoroughly cleaned glass slide and ex-
posed it in an elevated position. After
one hour | examined the exposed surface
with powerful microscope, and was
delighted to fud that the slide had re-
ceiyed aud retained hundreds of small!
bodies uniform in size and appearance,
and easily distinguished from the dust
and other objects usually found in the
atmosphere They are spherical, solid,
firmly attached to the glass, and about
I-50O0th of an inch in diameter, or about
one-half the size of the human red blood
globul..
What are these little bodies? Where
and how do they originate think we
may be able, partially at least, to answer
these questions. .E
Space, in the regions of auroral cur
rents, certainly is filled by our own atmos-
phere i'll rariied condition. Now. ow-
ing to its density, the oxygen of air will
retain tangible from to a greater altitude
than other gases, and hence (perhaps in
an allotrapid form) is the medium acted
upon by thc different electric currents,
producing white auroral light. This is
always succeeded by gray appearance of
the sky, caused by the production and
condensation of aqueous vapor, in the
form of the minute spherical bodies which
fell upon my glass slide, and which upon
evaperating have left the meteoric mineral
matter they contained. to record in solid
form their shape and something of
their history, and points US to the probable
cause of the red color Of our late display
of aurora borealis.

We give the following additional par

many towns in the United States in part
or wholly lit by gas obtained directly from
sub:erranean sources; but Erie, Pa, is
favored With so large supply that it is
now used to obtain heat for mechanics
and manufacturing purposes. All that is
necessary is to bore down and sink :ube
four or five hundred feet, and through it.

produced ever since without intermission,

diminish. A BASS foundry and soap

Searching for Light--A Beautiful Poem.

scar CuluS lOf LlSHt..A bcatlIUl room
By ALICE CAREY.
| The roses were red at the window
And sweet with the mild May weather,
And close to the bloom, inside of the room,
Sat mother and child together;
And the mother was rocking her babe on he
heart,
And they both were rocking together.
And soft through the curtain of roses,
Which the roses could not mother,
beam Of light, oil golden white,
Came to III. child and the mother
Came tenderly in through the tender leaves,
A kissing the child and the mother.
And the child was as fair as a picture
That is painted in fairy story;
And he opened his eyes ip glad surprise,
A-seeing the wonderful glory
Opened his baby and beautiful eyes,
A-seeing the wonderful glory
''Tis wing Of gold in the roses"
Thought he-''it can be no other :"
And with hand so white he caught at the light
Then held it wide to its mother;
And the tears said plain as tears could say,
"Ah where is it gone, my mother =
And the May times came and faded,
One May time after the other,
And stalwart man, all brown and tan,
And far from the lap Of his mother,
Vas he that had wept for the vanished light,
In the rosy house with his mother ::
He had sailed and sailed the ocean,
And hs had roamsd the world 70, treasure,
And with main and might he had sought the

The light of unfading pleasure;
And now he was old, and he said to his heart

For still it had huttered before him,
As still it had striven % gather,
Both sea and land, the light in his hand
And the CRY was now, "My Father

LOYAL MEN DO DIFFER.

According to the Portland CONNER
eial, q most infelicitous occurrence
took place in the meeting Of the Re
publican Central Committee, which
shows that loyal men may not orly
honestly differ (see Radical platform
of 1869 but that they may raise q
muss about it too. Somebody intro.
duced the following resolution:
Resolred That IL is the sense Of this Committee
that tho Union Republican party Of Oregon doe,
heartily endorse, and viii earnestly support thS
administration Of President Grant.
TO the uninitiated such a resolve
would appear to be the last possible
cause of disturbance in a Republi.
can meeting, and yet it developed q
hostile faction i,estanter. Perfectly
astounding as it may seem, yet there
were men in the Committee who did
not feel like supporting or endorsing
the resolution. What on earth they
were doing there is none of our bust.
ness, but it is mystery nevertheless.
The recalcitrant members argued We.
hemently, aye, boisterously. They
threatened disorder and disaster.
They declared that In the districts
from which they came there were many
Republicans who would not submit tc
the endorsement of ftLet us have
peace" The predicament was most
awkward. Not to adopt the resolu.
ton, after it had been precipitated into
the meeting, would be most decided
going back upon the Administration
and a thing that might cost few Of
the federal officers, who were chief
manipulators, their official heads. An
immediate catastrophe was averted by
a compromise wherein it was agreed
that the resolution should be passed
but that it should fall still-born and
never see the light of publicity. This
was one of those compromises where
both sides yield to something that each
ought to be ashamed of. The ludic-
rous aspect of the performance is un-
doubtedly without parallel in any
party proceeding. The Commercial
may well say that it forhodes dark
prospect for a Republican victory in
June.
There is a germ of real trouble in
side of this proceeding. A considera-
BILE class of Republicans are not salts
fed with Grants Oregon appointees.
The manner of their appointment and
