HOUSEHOLD.

| CANNED FRUITS. Use only fresh fruit
and that which is perfectly ripe, not too
soft but just right to eat we'll. Fill your
cans full Of fruit. put the can in kettle
of cold water; put few iron rings in the
bottom of the pot prevent the cars from
breaking; then put over slow fire at
first making it hotter after the fire has
become hot. Too great heat at first
will crack the cans at the bottom.
Meanwhile, make nice syrup ofwhite
sugar, and when your fruit is half done
cooking, pour your syrup over Che fruit IN
the cans, and continue boiling until
done; remove from the fire and seal.
Some people cook their fruit before
putting in cans, but it does not preserve
its natural flavor as WE'LL neither will the
syrup be as clear. Cooking the fruit in
the cans is the proper way Of
canning fruit in my. Estimation
my estimation. I use halt a pound Of
sugar to quart jar of fruit; cherries,
peaches, pears and raspberries will do
with 6 ozs Cook quart jars 30 to 80
minutes, according to hardness of fruit
Keep watch Of your cans while boiling,
and as fest las the fruit in the can lowers,
fill up with well-ripened trui,;next morn
ing test your Jars; If they do not held,
boil them ever again. Isl
In ten days from time of canning test
your fruit again, and if the cover holds
them 1t will keep for years, as I have
some now nearly four years old which
look as if they might keep four years
longer. By testing ten days after
canning, you will meyer be awake, ed
in the night by a lou report as of gun
going off, as have heard people tell
about, and breaking some half dozen
cans neare-t to it. Keep your cans In
cool but not drmp place. = Cor Ri raj

HOW TO QUIET A HORSES.

According to discovery made by
Prof Shift, of Florence, a discovery
which has been pushed beyond him
by many others, 1T was found that
it was quite enough to touch the
nostrils of a horse, simply passing the
finger along the side Of the nose, to
stop the activity Of the heart and
respiration, and stop consciousness
III measure. He did not find, but
left another to find it, that interchan-
ges between Tissues and blood is also
stopped. It is well known now that
most Of those men who succeeded in
quoting violent horses put their fin
gers to that part, and sometimes in
side the nose. Mere touching these
parts may have some effect. tits
not essential that the application be
made there, as pressure of the lip
may produce the same thing. In
some animals, rabbits and guinea
pigs, if we pass needles into their
chest and heart, go as to Judge of
respiration and circulation, we find
that the needles stop altogether as
we press the lips or part of the cheek.
It is not that the poor creature isl
frightened, as when we have deprived
them partly Of their consciousness
or almost altogether, by the use of
chlorofarln, the same phenomenon &C.
cur. Their Use very curious fact
mentioned by Catlin, who travelled in
the West, and wrote two volumes
on the Indians. He states that the
calves of the buffalo, if they are
caught, and the air of man is
strongly breathed into their nsotrils,
will become SO fascinated by that pc
culiar influence that they will run
after the horse Of ahunter, and follow
him five or six miles. 1t is said, and
Mr.. Catlln affims it, that in Texas,
or other parts Of the country where
there are wild horses taken by the
lasso, the hunter succeeds in TAKING
hold Of their nostrils, and forcibly
txpi!a ar from sh,e lungs inro th.
nostr'lo OF the horse, he will follow him
anywhere, and become perfectly tame

HOW TO MAKE BLACK PAINT.

black paint we have ever used for iron work

Three years ago, the lion fence and iron
balustrade and hand-rails on our front steps
were covered with such varnsh, while the
homework OF adjoining neighbors had been
painted every year with OIL ard lampnback

looks much the best and scarcely needs

The outlook for the rebuilding of
the broken Louisiana .levees is very
discouraging. The Levee Company
has no money, the State finances have
been at low ebb for several years,
the National Government has extend
ed no helping hand and the big holes
at Bonnet Carre, Morganza, Hickey's
place and elsewhere stare ominously
at riparian planters and threaten re-
newed disaster to the crops during
the approaching season Of high water.
The only recourse in the emergency
appears to be the combined personal
exertion of those most directly inter
ested in closing the gaps. If these
will accept contracts from the Levee
Company to rebuild broken levees
for half cash payments and half credit,
all the largest breaks can be repaired.
Plantation laborers can doubtless be
employed at very reasonable wages
to assist in the work, since they must
compu hend that an overflow will
suspend all agricultural operations
for several months, during which time
they can not afford to be idle,

remember as counsel for plaintiff in
the suit of Thos. Brady rs. the parish

manhood, when a long and brilliant
future seemed opening to him, will
