How TO GATHER FpUrr-Fruit should
never be gathered during damp weather, nor
when heavy dew is uponiti in the early morning
1t is poor policy to shake fruit from the tree (;
it will almost surely decay from the effect of
bruisng. Even the slightest abrasion of the
skin is the sure iorerunnor of dark spot,
which will eventually change into some kind
of rot Ifpossible, each specimen should be
taken singIy from the tree aud handled with
the utmost care Grapes should always be
severed from the vine with strong scissors, aud
never twisted or broken of. lfpcaches are
gathered before attaining full size, they will
not have fine favor, but it is not necessary
to delay picking them until they are very
mellow. Scarcely any variety of the larger
fruits color or rpen as well if left to perfect
themselves on the tree, and this is especially
true of pears.

Day.Dreaming.

From the Old and New a. a.
What world of day-dreaming and
castle-building we all do-the Irishman
at his spade, the seamstress at her
needle, the housewife at her domestic
duties, the boy at school, the merchant
at his businessl All of US are at home
in a realm in which we are generals,
statesmen, poets, philanthropists, mil
lionaires, kings of the turf, champions
Of the prize ring, just in accordance
with our tastes; all of us in a realm in
which we force General Lee to surrender,
emancipate every slave in creation, pull
the stroke-oar in the international boat
raceon the Thames, make hundreds of
poor families rich and happy, plant the
Stars and Stripes in patriotic enthusiasm
in hole drilled exactly in the North
pole. Who SO penniless or abject but
he habitually enters at will stately
kingdom in which he owns country seats,
picture galleries, wine cellars, yachts,
and hilariously enjoys the incest posi-
BILE time giving parties, making his ten
antry happy, winning the prize cup in
his schooner Mary or Alice, named after
his dear wife or blue-eyed sweetheart,
whose face lighted up so rapturously
when, for the first time, he rowed her
round under the stern, and showed her
her own name there in glittering letters
of gold?

the fire may be set 70 work if the fire is
leaping over and setting distant fire in
any direction.
/ have no interest in this company
further than any man should have who
wishes to see the best possible means for
extinguishing fires adopted; but having
examined them carefully and seen them
work, and visited other places where
they are in use, and learned the estima-
ton in which they are held, / have no
hesitation in saying that for efficiency,
safety and economy, they are far better
than any other works for common use
and for extinguishing fires when they
have attained power which cannot be
resisted instantly by the smallest and
simplest means. 1t is said that twenty
seven cities and towns are before the
legislature for authority to draw upon
ponds and rivers for better water sup
plies than they now have. They all, no
doubt, wish to knew Of the best manner
of doing what is to cost so much; and /
am sure the pamphlet describing the
Holly system, and visit to any city
where it is in operation, will convince
them Of its superior merits. gtle

From Temple Bari NJ
Prof. Zelter, with whom Felix studied
counterpoint, was his most eager audi.
tor, and at the same time his most severe
censor. More than once after the per.
formance | myself have heard Zelter call
out in a low voice to his pupil that sew
eral alterations were necessary, where.
upon, without saying word, Felix would
quietly fold up the score, and before the
next Sunday he would 90 over it and
then play the composition with the de-
sired corrections. In these rooms also,
before the family removed to Leiyziger
Strasse. q three act comic opera was per-
formed, all the characters being appor-
toned and the dialogue read out at the
piano. The ibretto for =" The Uncle from
Boston was written by young physi-
clan, DIR. Casper, who afterward became
famous man. Every one who came in
contact with him had something to relate
of his wit, and | remember even now
Holtei telling me, when was at Riga, Of
the sparkling witty farewell speech ad-
dressed by Caspar to the Councillor
Nernst, on the removal of the latter as
postmaster general from Berlin to Tilsit
He finished with, 3" Depart, and the peace
of Tilsit be with you"
Although the musical compositions of
this American Uncle pleased all the
parties connected with it extremely, the
subject Of it was, nevertheless, very
weak. Devrient and his fance, Therese
Schlesinger, Johanna Zimmerman, the
Drs. Andrissen and Dittmar, all took
part in this opera. | was also a chorus
singer in it, and from one circumstance
this evening will never be forgotten by
me. When the opera was finished, there
were the regular slices of bread and
butter, with the usual addition of an
choyies, cold meat, cheese, etc. Edward
Rietz and myself were enjoying our por-
ton, when Felix, who was going the
round Of the room to thank all the sing
ers personally, stoppad before US to ask
how we were faring in the way of refresh
ment. | showed him my share of the
spoil. lb sR0ia All
"And which do you consider your
dur?' 1.-THE leading, principal subject
he asked; and then which is your
conaessp' (the secondary theme.
"Well, of course, | consider my bread
and butter my d,tr. " tq iai
"Oh, no, said he, a guest must al
ways regard his bread and butter as only
the comes. lH Batfta
Just as he had uttered this little sally,
Ielter's voice resounded through the
room: ef0sT .rr u4
T." Felix, come here"
The old gentleman stood in the middle
of the room with a brimming glass in
his hand, and while every one was lis
tening intently, he said: Felix, you
have hitherto only been an apprentice;
from to-day you are an assistant, and
now work on till you are master. d
Herewith he gave him tap on the
cheek, as if he we're dubbing him a
knight, and then the whole party pressed
forward to congratulate the affected and
astonished parents, as well as Felix, who
pressed his old masters hand warmly
mere than once. This is one of those
scenes that can never be eAaced from
ones memory.

A New Fire preventive system.

A New Fire Preventive System.
| From the Boston Advertiser.l
While at Chicago an official repor
upon the cause Of the great FIRE wal
made, and from it make the following
extract:
"We reported that the Holly system
of pumping water and sending it through
the pipes with pressure of forty pound:
on ordinary occasions, with power to in
crease it to one hundred pounds, in case
of fire, would give us four sets of pump
ing works in the different parts Of the
city, and not leave US to the mercy Of
chance or accident to a single set. We
showed that the four sets Of Holly works
could be built for less than one year s
interest on the cost of the present water
works, and when built would enable us
TO get rid of most of the horses and all
the engines, reducing the men one-half,
saving two-thirds of the expense Of the
departuent, and making it as efficient as
It now would be with one hundred steam
fire engines" 4ssl ap
From the moment | read that extract
| was determined to know more of the
"Holly system" To do this went to
Lockport, N. Y, where the works are
located, and also to several other cities
where the Holly system" is in Csc. Mr.:
Birdsall Holly. of Lockport, has invented
and patented "a new and improved sys-
tenn of water-works for supplying cities
and towns with water, not only for ordi-
nary purposes, at any desired elevation,
without the use of a reservoir or stand
pipe or any other contrivance for calling
i'uto reauisition the principle of hydro
sta tic equilibrium, but also to furnish the
means of exdnguishiRg fires at several
points 1T the same time, if necessary,
and all this without the use of any
movable engine for that purpose. This
system is now in use, or contracted TOR,
in thirtv-six cities and towns, so that its
merits may be ascertained by any per-
sons interested in supplying cities or
towns with water for ordinary purposes
or for fires. They have just contracted,
and are now building machinery, to
force water four miles and raise it three
hundred and sixty feet, and then throw
FIVE streams one hundred feet high, with
out any intervening power" for Atlanta,
Ga. If they can do this, and Mr.. Holly
knows what he can do, and the company
is reliable financially and in all the
higher qualities which are most neces-
sary to protect communities Fom impo-
sition, then the Holly works sheuia pc
introduced throughout the land.
The simple working of the system is
as follows: The water-pipes of a city
being laid and the Holly works set up,
they are put TO work at a velocity which
forces water into the pipes so as to raise
the pressure to force of from forty to
City bounds 10 the square inch, as may
be required for the ordinary usa Of
city. But upon an alarm Of fire the We
locity of the immense machinery is IN
creased until the great rotary pumps
raise the pressure in the pipes 10 eighty,
one hundred, or even to one hundred
aud fifty pounds per inch, as 1t may be
wanted. At eighty the water will be
forced over high buildings, at one hum
irsd over the highest. and at one hun

Of hard boiled eggs and ice cream. The
other night about IL O. clock three or foul
of them got together in room and or.
dered hard boiled eggs and ice cream
for supper. Sheckles says they will
never get around the world if they live
in other countries as they live here.
They do not seem to eat much, but they
live on the most outlandsh " food.
They think all the hotels are under
one management, if we may judge from
their movements. Yesterday a lot Of
them went into the Ebbitt House, took
breakfast, and walked off without paying
or making any explanation. When they
FIRST came they were nearly all quartered
at the Arlington. Some went to the
other hotels. Now they are scattered
all over the city, some in hotels, others
in boarding-houses But the principal
officers of the embassy all stay at the
Arlington. Yesterday was standing a.
the Office of the Arlington when an
angular-faced Jap came up, with bag
gage on his arm, and said to the clerk:
" Me goin' away; me won't be here no
mere.
Where are you going2'' said the
clerk.
" Me goin to Ebbitt House"
Will you give up your room2"
mo; me and two other fellows goin'
free other fellows come from Ebbitt
House take our place.
So they go to the Imperial, Metropoli-
tan, Welckers, Wormley's and all over.
The hotel keepers like it. They can
make from ten to twenty dollars average
day out Of each Jap, from Iwakura to
Hokepoke, and it VIII be found that the
government will have such bills to pay
for the same Japs, for the same time, at
two or three different hotels. If any one
happens to twit them about their curious
antics, they say Me don't care; me got
plenty money, and me goin' spend it.
Some of them smoke opium almost
continuously. The chambermaids at
the hotels think " it's funny smellin' to-
bacco they smoke" They have bag
full Of ivory pieces and board on which
they play game that seems to be very
amusing to them. The other evening
party got together in n room and com
menced playing the game. At inter
yals when player seemed to be check
mated, they laughed boisterously, and
went through all sorts of performances,
such as turning hand springs and stand
ing on their heads.
As | remarked above, it is hard to tell
from their appearance who are ambas-
sadors and who followers and servants.
These eccentric freaks are probably the
diversions of the latter in all cases.
