The following recipes are reprint
ed from thessNew York Tribune |
To one pound Of berries add one
quarter pound ofsugar, which should
be sprinkIed on the fruit and remain
over night thenplace them in
porcelain kettle, let them come to a
boil and can them at once Y; keep
them in dark, cool place, as the
light will discolor them, but will not
injure their flavor. 2. Make a strip
of white sugar and water, bring to a
Toll, skimming if necessary throw
into the boiling sirup enough berries
to fill one can, as soon as they boil
up skim out the berries into the can
and seal up; continue this till all the
fruit is disposed of. The sirup that
remains makes beautiful jelly. 8.
q tter removing the hulls, weigh the
fruit and then the sugar, taking
pound for pound. Put the sugar with
little water on the stove, let it boil
20 minutes, put in the fruit and let it
just boil, taking care that each berry
gets scalded. Have the cans ready
and seal Immediately. Keep the
fruit in the cellar in the dark. 4.
To one quart Of berries take a tea
cup of white sugar with enough
water to form a sirup; when the
sugar is perfectly dissolved, put in
the berries and cook Is minutes.
Can Immediately in tin and solder
tightly. Keep in the cellar. In gen
eral the berries should be canned as
soon as possible after they are taken
from the vine. /. H.ltf.f%

A farmer cut down tree which
stood SO near the boundary line Of
his farm that it was doubtful wheth-
err it belonged to him or his neighbor.
The neighbor, however, claimed the
tree, and prosecuted the man who cut
it, for damages. The case was sent
from court to court. Time was vast
ed, temper soured, and temper lost
but the case was finally gained By the
prosecutor The last we heard OF
the transaction was that the man
who gained the case went to the law
yer's office to execute deed Of his
whole farm, which he had been COM
PEELED to sell to pay his cost. Then,
houseless and homeless, he thrusts
his hands into his pockets and tri-
umphantly exclaimed, "I've beat

One Of the most wonderful pieces
of legislation which modern days
have witnessed is the Assessment
act recently passed by the Maryland
Legislature and approved by the
Governor. The measure provides:
" THAT NIL property, real, personal
and mixed, OF all kinds and descrip-
tons whatever in the State, except
here follows long list al intended
exemptions, such as property OF the
United States, of the State, religious
corporations, etc., shall be exempt
from tdgdtion for State or local pur-
poses"
The people Of Maryland, no doubt,
are highly tickletl over this egregious
blunder of their Lawmakers, but
how are the wheels Of the State Gov
eminent TO be kept In motion with
out funds? Perhaps, however, these
Solons have actually learned the art
of making bricks without straw.

A Orange Blunder.

a Washington dispatch says that
the Executive Committee Of the Ma
tIonaI Grange located in that city
nave committed a eurietis bianter,
which has occasioned Congressman
from all parts of the country most
serious annoyance. A confidential
circular was recently addressed by
the Grange Executive Committee to
$4,000 Oranges throughout the coun-
try. In that circular, among other
curious things, was Il paragraph in
forming Patrons that all members
of Congress were able to supply them
with unlimited public documents
free of cost. The result has been the
recei pit of hundreds Of letters by Con-
gressmen, with orders for large in
voices of public documents. One
letter from the President of local
Grange says that there are 1870 mem
bers In his Grange, all of whom
would like Il full set of the agricul-
tural reports and also Worcester's
Dictionary for the use of the Grange.
With whatever propriety Congress,
prior to the abolition Of the ranking
privilege, may have been considered
n national publishing house, the
publication Of any considerable num-
Der of public documents has now
been discontinued. The old mem
bers disposed Of their quota of books
before the expiration of the privi-
lege. None have been printed since.
The new members have no books
whatever, and are entitled to none,
for the reason that Congress has APP
propriated no money for the printing
of the reports. Congressman very
generally desire to have all constitu-
ents advised Of the fact that they
have ceased to he public book ped
dlers, and IL they had the books could
not forward them free of charge since
the abolition of the Thanking privi-
lege and the reduction OF salaries.
