CANNING FRUIT.

Like many others, | tried, again

keep the fruit without moldine upon

cold, would not be more than two
thirds full, and in o few days o white
mold appeared upon tho top. / fin

knew, canned large quantities for her
own use. She showed me fruit over
a year old, quite fresh, the cans full,
and no mold. | at once adopted her
plan, which | have since followed
with great success. have no inter

believe that every. one should do his
own advertising, bat ! prefer that
kind in which you have only the can,
glass cover and rubber to use.
Fruit can be kept just as we'll with
out, as with, sugar and those sealed
up for pies are better without any, as
they will retain their flavor far bet
ter. Brass kettles should never be
used. Tin pans or kettles lined with
porcelain, so as TO preserve the most
perfect flavor Of the fruit, are the
best. While my fruit is being scaId-
ed, | put sill of cold water in each
can, and fill up with hot water, put
ting the covers and rubber also into
hot water. The fruit need not be
cooked-only heated to the boiling
point-unless in preparing pears and
ounces, or some other hard fruits,
that may require more cooking, and
then only just so that straw may
be passed through, always being
careful to have juice enough to COW
er the fruit. AS soon as boiling hot,
empty can and fill then another,
or as many as can well be attended
to. Let the cans stand open until
you can comfortably bear the hands
upon them. Meanwhile more fruit
may be heated.

pieces the size of the top of each can,

Mrs. WinslOw's Soothing Syurp.

&c find the following in the CALI
jorHja Medical Gazette, from a cores
pendent:
"Some weeks since | was called to
an infant Of six months old, who was
in \ dying. condition apparently from
the effects of narcotic poison. 1t
had taken no medicine except this
syrup, Of which it had taken, within
ten hours, two doses of about one
teaspoonful each. 1 had the syrup
from which these doses were taken
analysed by a skillful chemist
There were ten drachms of soothing
syrup in the vial, and it yielded Of
morphia and other opium alkaloids,
| 1t-100 grains, very nearly one grain
to the ounce of syrup.
This result astonished me. The
printed directions for administering
tho medicine are as follows For
child under one month old, six to
ten drops three months old; half a
teaspoonful three to four times day
until free from pain. Ia dysentery
repeat the above dose every two
hours, until the character of the dis
charge is changed for the better
Here we have a dose of morphine
equal to ten drops Of laudanum, given
to a child Of three months every two
hours, and double the quantity to a
child Of six months old.
have always discountenanced the
use Of this preparation, as did not
know its composition and supposed
it was some anodyne; but / had no
idea of its deadly strength. 1t is a
familiar fact that children are very
susceptible to the influences of opium,
and four drops CT laudanum have
been known to kill an infant of
nine months. 1 think it important
that this analysis should be publish
ed, that the profession, and through
it the public, may BIO warned
of the fearful effects of admin
istering this dangerous popular
nostrum. The quantity used in the
community is enormous doubtless
it has killed hundreds Of children.
and would kill thousands, were it
not by beginning in very small doses
and gradually increasing, o tolerance
of the immediate poisonous effects is
induced, although the miserable lit
tie victims of domestic drugging are
reduced to puny and cachetic crea-
lures, that are carried off by the
first disease that takes hold of them.
81 have ascertained that there are
about 100000 two ounce bottles sold
annually in this city, making 200, 900
ounces of Mrs. Winslow's soothing
sprup, containing 100000 grains of
morphine, which are given annually
10 the babies Of this State. No
wonder that one-third Of them die
before they reach the age of two

The Sky.

Why is the blue sky so grandly
arched above our heads? The an
cient Greeks supposed it to be SOL
id substance, spread above the earth
at an immense height, in which the
sun, moon and stars were set like
diamonds in ring. The upper sur
face was laid with gold-the pave
ment of the gods. In pagan coun-
tries somewhat similar notions still
prevail. A converted heather said
he thought the sun, moon and stars
were holes in the solid sky, through
which came streaming down to
earth the glory and brightness of tic
heavenly world. But, in reality, the
sky is nothing more than the air we
breathe. Instead of the solid arch,
towering so many thousand miles
above rs, where our childish fancy
put it, the blue sky is nothing but
the color Of the ocean of air in which
we live and move. And, as to the
distance from us, it is all within
three or four miles. For travellers.
"HN s. NPCh hiSh ulOuuIdln JODs,
tell us that they no longer see any
blue sky above them there, where
the air is so thin that they pant for
breath, but only the blackness of
empty space But, it may be asked,
why do we not see the blue color of
air when we look up to the ceiling of
our rooms? Why do we not have a
blue sky in the house as we'll as out
of doors? The answer is that some
substances, of which air is one. do
not show their color except in the
mass. Take a piece of glass, pour
upon it single drop of ink now
press upon it.another piece of glass.
and hold them both pressed together
up to the light Scarcely any color
OF the ink can be seen. The poet
says:
It's distance lends enehantment TO the view
And robes the mountain with its azure hue"
But philosophy, that great enemy
to poetry, steps up and tells us that
1t is not the mountains blue we see.
but only the air, which, like a misty
curtain, hangs between us and the
mountains
