TOMATO FIGs,--Among the new articles
capable of being utilized and converted
into money on the farm, nothing to US
looks more plausible than the maxine
OF tomato figs. The taste. for tomato,
whether natural or acquired one, is uni
versaIy popular-and there is hardly a
vegetable which the public demand has
required to be cooked and prepared for
present and permanent use, in such a
great variety of ways as the tomato iand
which retains SO readily lis peculiar
flavor. -,r.. f.. e....t. ,l.4...it Ii.
The time will probably come when
large felds4of them will be cultivated
expressly for. converting into figs, which
we consider far preferable to common
figs. They retain the tomato taste, keep
as well as the others, and could as read
lily be exported or shipped long distances
Large drying appaatus must of course be
constructed for the wholesale fig business,
and other. arrangements to correspond !;
but we predict that those who 90 first
into it will make great deal of money.
The following is the receipt for MAX
ing tomato figs, which we 3 have known
tried with the best results: sf5 fr;d

one inch in diameter, skin and stew them
in the usual manner, when done lay them
on dishes, fatten them slightly, and
spread over them q light layer of pulver-
lied whiteo or best brown sugar; expose
them to q summers sun, or place them in
a drying house; when as dry as fresh
figs, pack IN old fig or small boxes, with
sugar between each layer. If properly
managed the difference cannot be detect
ed from the veritable article. y ara5q a
Notifications may be made by further
experiences; but the process is very sim
pie and they could probably be put on
the market and yield a good profit at half
the price of Smyrna fgs-and are so
much better that the latter would to
great extent, be superseded Practical

Pine Dressing OF Chnrch-G0ers.

sense of dignity and elevation which
those i'm sloyenly garb do not expert
ence. Aud it is no particular sin if
this sort Of elevation is carried little
too far. Pride of course, often enters
into fine dressing. and many women
particularly are fond Of Haunting their
fine feathers in the peoples eyes but u
great majority love handsome dressing
i'm obedience to an instinct of refine
ment-in Consequence of that sense of
personal purity which accompanies the
wearing II choice apparel-and hence
we see perfect congruity in the we'll
dressed crowds that pour through
our streets on Sundays, vending their
way to the place of prayer. And our
nzost fashionable congregations, if eX-
hSaiting too much of ultra elegance,

Hints to Wearers OF Kid GlOveS.

1t is not generally known, even by
those who wear kids almost cxclu-
sively, that the durability and set OF
these articles depend very much upon
how they are put OH the first time.
Two pair may be taken from one box,
of exactly the same cut and quality,
and by giving them different treat
mcnt when first putting the hand into
them. one pair will be made to fit
much better, and to wear double or
nearly that length of time longer than
the other. When purchasing gloves
people are usually in too much of q
hurry they carelessly put them OH,
and let them 20 in that way then,
thinking to do the work more COM
pletely at another time. When this
is the case Il person is sure TO meet
with disappointment, for the glove is
made to fit never after, no amount of
effort will make satisfactory change.
Never allow Il strctchCr to be used.
for tic gloves will not be likely to fit
well Tor il. All of the expansion
should be made by the hands; if the
kids are so small as TO require the aid
of stretcher, they should not be pur-
chased, as they prove to small for du-
rability, comfort, or beauty. When
selecting gloves, choose those with
fingers to correspond with your own
in length take time Ia put them OH,
working in tic fingers first, till ends
meet ends; then put i'll the thumb
and smooth them down until they are
made to fit nicely. "A glove that fits
well will usually wear well, at least
will wear better than ono Of the same
kind that docs not fit well. When the
end of the fingers do not come down
right, or when they arc SO long as to
form wrinkles upon the sides of the
fingers, they will chafc out easily !;
where the stretchcr has to bc used to
make the fingures large enough, the
body part will be so small IS to cramp
the hand, so that it cannot be shut
without bursting the seams of the
kids. Some recommend putting new
kids into Il damp CLOTH before they
arc put on, and allowing them to re-
main until they are nOistened. With
this treatment they can be put oil
much easier than otherwise, and will
fit very nicely until they get dry, but
OH second wearing therc will be an
unnatural harshness about them,
wrinkling in spots, and they will not
lit SO perfectly as at first.

Department OF Young People.

Young men and boys rarely realize,
We fear, how much their success in life
depends upon their present deport-
ment. Their conduct Is more general
ly observed than they are ready to be-
lieve, and frequently discussions take
place among business and influential
men in regard to their fitness for places
for which young men are wanted, of
which they never Know.
We were made to think of this the
other day, on hearing one of our best
business men, who will have no one
about him who is not above suspicion,
point outa half dozen young men in
Reading whom he would cheerfully
and confidently recommend for any
position, however responsible, that any
young man could fill. They are young
men whose general conduct recom>
meuds them. They are never seen
rowdying ON the streets they are nev-
er seen hanging about restaurants;
they are never seen making themselves
conspicuous by boisterous behavior;
they are never seen "takin a state"
with a cigar i'm his mouth and hat cock
ed to one side of his head they are
never heard shocking the sensibilities
of decent people by profane or indecent
language; in short they have none of
the characteristics of the self>indulging
loafer or rowdy. They are the pride OF
their parents and an honor to the COM
munity i'm which they live, and des-
tined to be the leading men of the
country. .
All young men should be ambitious
to have such regulations 50 that when
positions of trust are to be filled, their
friends can, with confidence, recom-
mend them.

What the Telescope is Doing,

|, One of the largest telescopes in the
world, it is well knOwn-i OwIled by
the Chicago University. The destined
work of this wonderful instrument is
to make, in connection with nine chief
observatGies of Europe and America,
an entirely new catalogue of 25O, ,OOO
stars, determining the right ascension
and declination of each particular star;
SO that by. obser ing its position, as
tronemers may, in far of ages, be able
to announce authOritatively on its mo-
|. ton, and to declare in what direction
it has proceeded through the illimitable
voids. At this moment it is slowly and
surely performing its sublime work, and
furnishing those far-Off astronomers
the data upon which to base their cal
culations respecting that mighty prob
lem, the direct motion of the sun
through space.
When this is solved, data will also be
abundant for locating the position of
the great central sun, around which
millions upon millions of other suns
popularity denOminated stars, do, in all
probability, revolve. The labor being
divided among the ten principal OBJ
servatories in the world, will make the
share Of its falling to the Chicago OBJ
scryatory, 5000 stars-upon each one
of which the most careful observations
will be made and recorded. 1t will re-
quire about ten years to accomplish
this stupendous work, and when it Is
done we may expect some most impor-
tant astronomical discoyeries.-7hcM M-

Oxygen.

Oxygen is q colorless and transparent
gas; without edor or taste; little
heavier than air, its specific gravity
being 1.1056.
A lighted taper lowered into jar of
oxygen burns with surprising brillian-
cy. A glowing spark upon the wick is
all that is needed; the oxygen instant
ly and with slight explosion, kindles
il into q vivid flame. Experiments like
these illustrate the fact that bodies
which burn in air, will burn with
greater vigor in oxygen.
Again: let an iron wire or steel
watch spring be tipped with n bit of
wood. Set fire TO the wood and at
once plunge 1t into a jar of oxygen |;
quickly the metal takes fire and burns
the iron with steady and beautiful
light, or the steel with a multitude of
star-like sparks. Experiments such as
this illustrate the fact that substances
which do not burn in air may bum
with great rapidity in oxygen.
1t not only supports combustion; it is
also necessary to the life of animals. 1t
is in the air, and animals breathe il; it
gees into their blood and purifies it.
And yet were an animal TO breathe
pure oxygen, death would surely fol
low. BY being mixed with nitrogen
its violent action is toned down so that
the most delicate organ may not only
Withstand it, but be invigorated by its
presence.
Oxygen is the most abundant ele-
ment in nature; minerals, plants, and
animals alike contain large quantities
of it. One-fifth part of the air by
weight is oxygen, eight-ninths of all
the water Oh the globe, and about one
half of all the solid rocks. Besides
this, it forms about four-fifths of the
weight of vegetable bodies, and about
three-fourths of that of animals. 1t is,
perhaps, not too much to say that one
half of all the matter of the world, as
far as it has been examined, is oxygen.
And yet when freed from its prisons i'm
solid and liquid bodies, oxygen is a gas,
invisible as air and but little heavier.
