One objection to it is that in wet
weather some of the fruit will crack and
become rather insipid; but in dry
weather it is all light Gather it just as
it begins to color and it will improve its
flavor, and it will bear shipping four
or five days' ride. 1t commences ripen-
ing here about the middle of June, and
its season lasts about six weeks.

CANNING PEACHES.
From Moore's Rural New Yorke

sre From Moore's Rural New Yorker.
Every passing year brings new dis
coveries in regard to canning fruit We
find it may be put up safely in ways
which few years. since, would have j
been thought totally impracticable.
Many persons yet cling to the old way Of
heating glass cans, which is utterly USE
less, and is no little work. Cold cans
set ion a wet cloth, are exactly as good as
heated ones, and they never break unless
there IS a flaw in the glass, This mode
of-canning peaches is not very new, but
so far as | can learn is very little known.
lnasmuch as it is the best and the easiest
method, it, should be known to all. Pro
coed as follows: tse3 80 8
Pare and halve your peaches. Pack
them as closely as possible in the can
without any sugar When the can is =
full, pour in sufficient pure cold water to
fill all the interstices between the peaches,
and reach the brim Of the can. Let stand
long enough for the water to soak into
all the crevices-say six hours-then
pour in water to replace what has sunk
away. Seal up the can, and all is done.
Canned in this way, peaches retain all
their freshness and flavor ~

them to render them insipid. If pre-
ferred, cold strip could be used instead
OF pure water, but the peaches taste most
natural without any sweet.

covery in regard to earthen cans. Every
one who has used them, knows how vexa-
tious they are, the sealing wax so fire.

ONE HUNDRED EArIGRANTs BURNED TO
DEATH "A very sad occurrence is report
ed at Rio de Janeiro, namely, the burning
Foflan emigrant ship, and the consequent
loss OF over one hundred passengers on
board. The details of this terrible catas-
trophe are given by the Captain of the
French bark Adele Louise, who succeeded
in saving some of the persons from the
Inflated vessel-the Manin Barriuvina--
on it's way from Genoa for Montevideo,
with 1913 passengers and 25 Of crew. =
It appears that on the 21st of July,
about 8 p. m, being abreast of Rio de
Janeiro, the Adele Louise sighted the
Barriuvina in flames, some distance
astern, and at once went to her assistance
What followed is described in the Z5Le
grqye Maritime "Tho spectacle pre-
sented by the burning ship was extreme
ly awful the cries of the passengers, the
flames leaping out on all sides, the wo-
men shrieking franticaliy, some OF them
jumping overbord, others holding on by
the chains and bow OF the vessel, forming
a sce,'e of disaster and confusion that

lowered was speedily filled with people

but the bark succeeded in taking off
eight persons, including captain and
mate. The schooner Mary, from London
to Australia, also happened to pass, and
rescued ten more, whom she trans
shipped to the Adele Louise. The re-
mainder, 1913 in number, persisted" 1t
seems that the confagration broke out in
the chimney Of the cooking galley, and
spread to alarge number Of chairs that
formed part of the cargo. The passen-
gers and crew Immediately became panic
and, in the absence of dicipline,
the Captain was unable to take effective
measures TO suppress the flames or to 3

The London lronnaonger, in late issue,
observes 6 We are running great risk in
England of being beaten by Americans in the
manufacture of axes, shovels, hoes, and other
implements of the kind. Pittsburgh steel,
both cast and rolled, is fully up to the mark
of the best English; in fact, to such de-
gree that it is not only supplanting our pro-
ducts, but in every shape of tool it is being
largely exported to the European Continent;
American bolts and hinges excel ours, and
their medium cutlery of all kinds is cheaper
and better than any manufactured here"

Runaway.

On Sunday, as Grant l. Taggart and his
wife were out taking buggy ride, and
while coming down the grade above the
Toll House, something about the neck
yoke broke and allowed the buggy to run
violently against the horses. As soon as
the accident happened Grant jumped out
to check the horses, but they became
frightened and runaway ensued. Mrs.
Taggart retained her seat in the buggy
until the horses run some distance, but
not admiring their gait, she very coolly
jumped out and let them run.
