A Water supply from Poughkcep-
sie-The Eastman Plan.

AS we stated recently, when commenting
on the public excitement in this city re-
garding the scarcity of Croton; nearly every
body imagines that he has devised the only
reliable plan by which we can be saved
from n water famine. Communications
have been printed by the column in
the HERALD suggesting every conceiv-
able means of increasing, regulating
and economizing the city water supply.
We have had an interesting lee
ture on the subject from distinguished
professor and exhaustive reports from the
Commissioner of Public Works, who has
entered into the minutest details in order to
sustain his arguments. New York has well
nigh worn herself out in clamoring for a
drink of pure water, and now makes any
sign only when some distracted housaowner
up town makes piteous complaint about his
bursted ''waterback" or collapsed boiler.
But from far off Poughkeepsie, nesting
in the Highlands of the Hudson. comes a
cheering voice, bidding us not despair. Tho
problem can be easily solved by making the
great river at the fair city our chief source
Of supply, whence we can draw the pure
waters that flow from the forest clad
slopes Of the Adirondacks. Mr.. Eastman
would have us establish pumping station
at Poughkeepse and raise the river water
to reservoir at Poughkeepsie, whence it
would flow to the feeders Of the present
Croton reservoirs or by an independent con-
duit to the city of New York. Unfortunately
Mr. Eastman's plan is not as practicable as
his letter to Mayor Wickham would lead us
to believe it was. In order to obtain the fifty
millions of gallons from the Hudson, which
he proposes to commence with, it would be
necessary to employ pumping engines Of at
least eight thousand horse power to raise
two hundred and fifty thousand tons of
water to height of five hundred feet every
twenty-four hours. The pressure on the
delivery pipes near the pumps would equal
two hundred and seventeen pounds to the
square inch; consequently they should be
enormously strong. They should also be
protected from frost by being deeply
embedded in the earth, or other
wise covered. In view of these and
ulhuy OtAcl ALL MpOltuAO iuCIS kONcIuluR Lue
feasibility of the plan we are satisfied that
Mr.. Eastman has underestimated its cost.
He naturally tries to support his arguments
by statements which are, however, too gen.
eral in their character to warrant any
decided steps toward the adoption Of the
plan until its merits are more fully investi-
gated. 1t may not prove to be for the best
interests of New York that several MILL
ions of dollars should be expended at
Poughkeepsie, however the latter city may
desire it. There are other available sources
of water supply much nearer to this city than
the point proposed by Mr.. Eastman, and
until these are examined we must rest salts
fed with our Croton. What we need now
is thoroughly honest and scientific exami-
nation OF all the sources Of water supply
within say one hundred miles Of New York
city. Among these is the Hudson River, at
Poughkeepsie, which, if it proves better
than all others, will undoubtedly be se-

1t affords US pleasure to record
that Judge Wilder ran ahead of his
ticket in this county some 1900
votes, and in this city nearly 900.
While this is owing, in some meas
ure, to the fact that the democrats
expended their entire efforts in his
behalf, it must still be admitted that
it was, to very considerable ex-
tent, due to the high esteem in
which he is held by the public gen.
orally. 1t was a deserved compli-
ment to his worth from those who
know him best, and but for the vi
tai issues involved in this canvass,
his election would have been highly
probable. AS anything else than
the candidate of the democratic
party, we certainly should not have
objected to his success; nor can
Major Strait and his friends find
fault with the result, as it is assured
ly a much greater honor to beat a
gentleman of Judge Wilder's charac-
ter by small majority, than it
would have been to have overcome
such a competitor as the democrats
usually nominate by any possible
vote. To Major Strait the result of
this election is far more honorable
than was that of two years ago,
when he had Mr.. Cox's for his op.
pOnent.

Joe Jefferson and Schneider.
NJ. II. f., in Illustrated Weekly,

The story goes that Jefferson went
to bank to cash a check-durlng
the long run of Rip Van Wrinkle
and the bank official demanded that
he should be identified.
"Why," said Joe, ppm Jefferson,
now playing at Booths's."
"That may be-" returned the eau
tious clerk; "but | have seen RIP
many a time, and it seems hardly
possible you are the man; anyway,
you must get some one who knows
you"
Jefferson skunk against post in
the peculiar, forsaken air of the re-
turned sleeper and said, in the words
of Rip: eff my toy Schneider vas
here he would know me-"
"Pay that check" cried the cashier.
"No one but Joseph Jefferson has
that heart-breaking voice or could
utter those words in that way"
And thus an allusion to the dear
old unseen dog that never existed,
except in Jefferson's imagination,
saved HIM deal of trouble.

Blackberries should be canned the


same as raspberries.
Gooseberries and currants require
more sugar and perhaps more cook
ing. The gooseberrles should be
we'll done so that the skins may be
tender, and they will admit of more
than twice the water that is used
with strawberries.
Plums same as peaches, only they
will need to be pared with knife
However, we have so few cultivated
plums that a method of preparing
the wild ones, OF of making that fa-
nous plum butter that our old set
tiers had to depend upon for every
occasion, would be in order, and we
call on them for the modus operandi.
Now, good pioneer mothers let us
hear from you.
Tomatoes should be nicely pared
by scalding first, then slipping the
skins off; place in large porcelain
kettle or in tin wash boiler, never
IN copper or iron, squeeze out enough
JUICE to wet the bottom of the kettle
and thus prevent their scorching, but
no water should be added to them,
there is enough of the juice; boil
briskly for five or six minutes until
they are thoroughly heated, and seal
in tin cans. A bushel of good to-
matoes will make about sixteen quart
cans when cooked.
Tin cans can be securely sealed
with the prepared sealing wax found
at drug stores, and is by most pre-
ferred to solder. 1t can be saved
when the can is opened and used the
second or third time. TO open a can
sealed with wax, strike the wax with
a tack hammer until it cracks, pick
out a piece, pry the lid with the cav
of the hammer and the rest will loos
en- so that it can all be picked off and
the can brushed before removing the
lid. This keeps the particles from
the fruit, and is much nicer than
melting the wax with hot iron.
When fruit cans have been sealed
and arc ready to put away, turn them
top downward on a table and let
them stand until the next morning !;
examine carefully, and if no juice has
worked its way out you may be sure
they are we'll sealed. Place them on
shelves in a cool, dry cellar, and keep
thom there until ready for use, If
tin cans are used, paste labels on
while the wax is hot that you may
know what they contain when you
wish to open them.
If ladies will only furnish plenty
of wholesome fruit for the table and
do away with pies, buildings, cakes
and preserves, they will save much
valuable time for themselves and
avoid nearly all the large doctors
bills in their family.
