The Conditions Of Successful Fruit
$50 -. h5 Canning. 9dE~&

PEOPLE can fruit ON false theory. 1t
is that Of driving the air out Of q jar by
steam. This can be done, and perhaps
sometimes is, but think Of no circum-
stances in which I would attempt it. The
true way is to I'LL the jar absolutely full of
boiling liquid, and clap cover on, leaving
no particle of air or steam under it. Now
to particulars:
First. Take glass jar It is unchange-
able, and as good as new till it breaks.
No fruit acts on it. You can see its con-
tents You need not break 1t.
Second Heat it till it will bear boiling
liquids. This may be done by pouring in
water that will not break it, and adding
successive portions of boiling water, shak-
ing it after each. t.e-.sts -ss
Third. Dip in the substance to be
canned from boiling kettle, as deliber-
ately as you please, so that the top does
not get 80 cold that boiling water will
break it. Fill to within halt an inch of
the very brim. iA1 o. 'lo" r.''4
Fourth. Lay a circle of stiff paper on
the surface.
Fifth. Pour on quantity of boiling
water, letting it run over the top, till the
last particle of foam is washed away. The
the surface beneath. e eHt 1H.1>.HI
Sirth. Put on hot glass cover, that
will project little into the mouth of the
jar, with rubber ring between the top of
the jar and the shoulder of the cover, so
that no air can pass the cover -.a}1
Se0enth.--Put on clasp or other con-
trivance, to hold the cover and rubber
firmly against the top of the jar alright.
The lid touches the surface of the boiling
water, and there is no place for air or
steam in the jar But as it cools, the sur
face of the liquid sinks away from the
cover, and it looks as if there was air in
The more rapidly filled, the greater will
be the vacant space. The less of liquid in
the contents, the less the space.
EghM.-Test the jar when cold. Re-
move the clasp or other continuance
soSttout disturbing the. c0ver. IF now you
can remove the cover with your fingers,
the jar is not sealed. IF jar or cover be
deficient, sealing may be impossible. If
all be tight, replace the clasp and rest Sc
cure.
Of course with many patterns Of Jar,
these directions cannot be followed Re-
ject all such jars. A jar might fulfill all
these conditions, yet be satisfactory
and difficult to open, because air cannot
be conveniently let in by passing the
point of a knife between the jar and the
rubber. sci eHU9 nia31a3 ~ si9ss q
I see no reason why jars should not be
as good after use of twenty years as at
first. They will keep quick lime, potash,
spices, ground coffee, putty, and perhaps
paints and varnishes--c certainly if the
mouth and cover can be kept clean.
None OF these need vacuum.-Rev. IT. r.

Gus is the record Of the Republican party.
History will note it, and the world will
gratefully remember it. In the light of
this brief review of its achievements for
patriotism, liberty, justice and humanity,
should not Republicans, one and ell, cling
to their grand organization, rectify its
mistakes, correct its errors, and keep it
true to It's past traditions, and in harmony
with the enlightened and progressive
spirit of the age? So doing, may they
not perpetuate their power until their be.
neicent principles shall become the &C.

sa,it afs REDUCTION OF TAXATION. ehsHc
During the recent session of Congress
taxes have been reduced more than S75.-
O0O,OOO. The taxes have been removed
from transportation by canals and rail-
ways, from sales by dealers and manufac-
tuners. The income tax has been reduced
to two and half per cent. on all incomes
above $4,000; and it is to expire at the
end of two years. The tax on tea has
been reduced from twenty-five to fifteen
cents per pound on coffee from five to
three cents, and the tax on sugar and mo-
lasses has been reduced in the aggregate
twelve millions of dollars per annum. By
this reduction of taxation the industries Of
the people and the necessaries of life have
been relieved of burdens amounting to
millions The Funding bill is an i'm
portant financial measure, which contem.
plates the saving of interest upon the
public debt by the exchange of outstand-
ing six per cent. bonds for those of a
lower rate of interest, to the amount
OF SIG, 900 year. While a reduction
In taxes transfers the burden of the debt
from one year to another, from one gene
ration to another, a reduction in the rate
OF Interest Is an actual saving to the coun-
try, not only for the present generation,
but for all time. And yet these imper-
tant and beneficial financial measures, in
tended to tighten the public burdens, re-
ceived little countenance and support
from the Democratic party, whose re-
,sponsibilities for the war, its losses, its ex-
penditures, its debts, and its taxation, are
so fearfully large. Tr 800 -

sprang upon him suddenly and gave him a
blow on the head with an axe, which crushed
in tho skull, producing instant dcsth. He
fell against his wife, who, in her terror, fed
through the woods, and getting home, gave
the alarm. Captain IIoltzclaw was found to
have received a cut with the axe, which must

AN ETERNAL EApYEAn.-Among the
Cossacks of tho Ukraine lcap.year is eternal.
When young woman feels tender passion
for young man she seeks him at tho resi-.
doncc Of his parents, and addresses him as
follows /: "Thc goodness see written in your
countcnance is sufficient assurance to me
that you arc capable Of ruling and loving a
wife, and your excellent qualities encourage
me to hope that you will mako good hus-
band. 1t is in this belief that have taken
the resolution to como, and beg you, with all
due humility, to accept mo for your spouse"
She then addresses tho father and mother, and
Solicits their conscut to tho marriage. If sho
meets with a refusal, she declines to leave tho
house, and such Conduct is usually crowned
with success. The parents Of the young man
never put the young madcns away, if thcy
still persist in their stay, believing that by do.
ing SO they would bring down the vengeance
of heaven upon their heads.

it is said, he began his career on
deck, aud successfully rose to be
mate, and finally commander of a
fine steamboat. The first boat
commanded by Captain Leathers,
If we are correctly informed, was
called the Natchez. This was in
1916. The Natchez of that day
was a handsome boat OF the kind,
and ran in the New Orleans and
Natchez trade. The next boat af-
ter this first Natchez was also
called the Natchez No. 2. It was
famous boat in it's day, and after
running many years in the New
Orleans and Natchez trade, she
was sold to some parties in Mo
bile, and was used as a tow-boat
in the harbor at that place. Her
place was filed by the Natchez
No. 3, in the same trade. She did
not run very long. At the great
steamboat fire in New Orleans,
which took place in 1866, she was
consumed, along with numerous
other boats. Several lives we're
lost; among the unfortunate ones
who were unable to escape was a
brother of Captain feathers. The
Natchez No. 4 was a famous run
ner, and contested the claim of
the Eclipse to the championship,
and although a much smaller boat
was the equal of the Eclipse in
running capacity. The fifth Match
ez was built, like the present, at
Cincinnati, and was a very beau
tiful and swift boat. She was run
up the Yazoo, and burned during
the war. The sixth boat of the
same name, commanded by the
same captain who commanded her
FIVE predecessors, is now lying at
our wharf, the superior of most
steamboats, in the rapidity of her
course through the water st.
