SUGAR DRIED PEACHEs.-A house
keeper thus gives what is, in her
opinion, one practicable and delicious
mode of escape from the evils of an
enormous peach crop. Take the thor
oughly ripe, mellow fruit, scald and
remove the skins; place the halves on
an earthern or suitable metal surface !;
sprinkle over them little good sugar,
and dry rapidly by high heat, or they
may be scalded in syrup, skinned out
and dried. Then pack in close vessels,
and they will keep for years in any
climate, provided you keep your fingers
off them, for they are really delicious,
and are less cloying than common
raisins.

A CORRESPONDENT of Nature, residing
in New Zealand, communicates to that
journal several instances of the trans
mission of habits to offspring in ami
mails. One instance is that of mare
which would wander away from the
''mob" of horses to which she belonged
always seeking one particular creek.
When released from work she would
make off TO her favorite feeding-ground
by herself. One of her progeny some
years after showed similar liking for
solitude. Again, a valuable mare was
an incorrigible kicker; she transmitted
her special vice to her offspring. Pecu-
liarity in the form of the hoof has been
transmitted to generation after genera
ton. The same writer states that a
particular strain of Dorking fowls
which he hadi in his possession for thirty
years always show desire for rambling,
and this too, under the difficulty of
meeting with much persecution when
straying beyond their range.

AGRICULTURAL.

THINNING FRUIT.-Any one who will
take walk through our fruit markets
in the fall will not be surprised at the
low prices which usually prevail If one
half of the fruit was kept back, and only
the best and most perfect specimens
sent, they would command as much as
Is usually obtained for the whole and a
saving in freight be effected. We find
the following good advice in the Ameri-
can Agriculturist: ''That this severe
thinning will change the bearing year
there is sufficient testimony, but there
is one point on which we lack evidence
will it pay? II any of our friends
have tried thinning to induce annual
bearing, or to reverse the bearing year
on full-grown trees, we ask in behalf of
many inquirers that they will give their
results. With young orchards, just
coming into bearing, the case is very
different, and whoever will take the
pains, and give the young trees the
needed care, can make their orchard
bear annually. The education of the
trees must begin with their first fruit
ing, as the first excessive crop, though
small in itself, starts the tree on the
wrong track. When the trees are young
the quantity Of fruit to be removed is
small, and ali within reach. OF course
the cultivation of the soil must not be
neglected, but healthy growth main
tanned. Whoever will start right with
his orchard, and treat it fairly, will
have no reason to complain. Among
the varieties of apples that are naturally
annual bearers, though they may be
starved into bearing biennially, or not
at all, are Vandevere, Sops of Wine,
Grimes Golden, a comparatively new
apple of great excellence; Milan, Mink
lers', Rawles' Janet, for the South;
Benoni, Hubbardston Nenesuch, DOM
inc, Highly Sweet, and English Sweet
(Ramsdell's Sweet at the South). If any
of our fruit growers can add to this list
of annual bearers, We hope they will do

CUTTING PoTAToEs.-Oneo Of the most
prolific questions for farm club discus
sion is whether cutting the sets has any
effect in decreasing the vitality or size
Of the crop. A few years ago the theory
was advanced and strongly advocated
that nothing but the largest potatoes
should be used, and that TO prevent de-
terioration of the product these should
be planted whole and about three feet
apart in the row; the main advocate of
this theory was dealer in seed pota-
toes, and of kinds which then COM
manded a high price, and the ill-natured
were in the habit Of attributing his
theory to a desire to effect sale, as it
was found that the practice involved a
large increase in the amount of seed
used. We think it may be set down as
rule that ripe and well developed
eye will, in good soil, produce perfect
tubers, and that the deterioration which
usually follows the continued planting
of small seed is caused more by the fact
that they are not fully matured than to
their size. All that is required either
of the whole tuber or of the piece at
tached to the eye is to nourish the shoot
until the proper roots are formed, and
after that it can obtain its nOurishment
from the soil. What have our readers
to say on this subject?

SCIENTIFIC,

IItanimm Chloride for Prisms.-In Op-
tical experiments and in spectroscOpic
work, hollow glaes prisms filled with
bisulphide of carbon are frequently
employed because of the high refractive
power of bisulphide. 1t possesses,
however, several disadvantages among
which are its odOr and its wonderful
solvent properties. The hollow glass
prisms employed are nicely ground to
the proper angle and plates of glass ce-
mented thereon. The bisulphide of
carbon attacks the cement, whatever it
may be, and in most cases soon causes
the prism to leak. This necessitates
the removal of the liquid after using
and refilling the prism each day when
it is to be used. Cannot some other
dense and highly refractive liquid be
substituted for it?
1t is our wish to call attention to an
other liquid of very high refractiye
power, almost equal to bisulphide of
carbon, that may perhaps be substi-
tuted for it, as it is free from this SOL
vent action, at least on some substances.
Titanium chloride fumes in the air,
sending off great clouds of white
smoke, and is consequently disagree
able substance to handle. 1t has. how
ever, the property of remaining in a
bottle or other vessel, even when loose
ly stOppered, for the reason that the
fumes of oxide and oxychlOride collect
about the cork and in all other crevlces
completely closing them.
Titanium chloride is prepared in a
manner totally analogous to that en-
plOyed in the chlorides of silicon, alu-
minum, and some similar substances,
namely, the action of dry chlorine gas
upon a mixture of titanium oxide and
lamp black at high temperature. AL
though difficult laboratory expert
ment, it might be produced on large
scale almost as easily as chloride of
aluminium, if the demand for it were
sufficient.

two ladies to 1t. They listened with
intent ear while the reader gave voice
to the glowing and graceful thoughts
of the poet. When the reading was
finished, the gentleman turned to his
companions for word or look Of APP
probation. He saw their faces aglow,
their lips parted In an intensity of feel

Shades Of Homer! ''Look-look there J"

WATER-PRooF BLACKING.-Ifever one
needs good, waterproof backing for
boots and shoes, it is at the season of
sleet, hail and snow. The following
recipe for making a water proof black
ing comes to US highly recommended:
Dissolve an ounce OF borax in water,
and in this dissolve gum shellac until.
it is the consistency of thin paste; add
lampblack to color. This makes cheap
and excellent blacking for boots, giving
them the polish of new leather. The
shellac makes the boots or shoes almost
entirely water proof. CamphOr dis
solved in alcohol, added to the backing,
makes the leather more pliable and
keeps it from cracking. This is sold at
30 cents for a small bottle. By making
it yourself, 81 will buy materials for a
gallon.

wife in this way, She first lays the
meat in her earthen stockpot, and pours
cold water to it in the proportion of
about two quarts to three pounds of
beef; she then places it by the side of

and as it does so, the heat enlarges the
fibre of the meat, dissolves the gelatin

the albumen tor the muscular party
which produces the scum to disengage
itself and rise to the surface, and the
osmazone (Which is the most savory
part of the meat) to be diffused throug Oh
the broth. Thus from the simple cir
cumstance of boiling it in the gentlest
manner, a relishing and nutritious soup
will be obtained, and dish of tender
and palatable meat; but if the pot be
placed and kept over quick fire the
albumen will coagulate. harden the
meat, prevent the water from penetrat-
ing it, and the Osmazone from disengag-
ing itself; the result will be a broth
without a flavor or goodness, and a
rough, dry bit of meat. Add salt in
the proportion of half an ounce to the
quart, throw in three or four turnips,
as many carrots, half head of celery,
two or three leeks, one onion stuck with
some cloves, a teaspoonful of pepper

The Times Sparta ( Wisconsin) spe-
cial says: News has just been re
ceived from Wilton of a horrible af-
fair there OH Thursday night. Mrs.
William Van Voort eese, woman
with three young children and about
to become mother again, had, after
living unhappily with her husband in
their home Oh the outskirts of the vii
lage, been deserted and left desoIate
and respondent. She frequently
spoke OF suicide to her neighbors, who
prevented her from purchasing poison.
On Thursday night, about 9 o'clock.
her dwelling was discovered in
flames, and when the neighbors
reached the house and burst in the
doors, they proceeded to her bedroom,
where shocking spectacle met their
eyes. The mother, nearly naked, lay
face dowu in the bed with her two
youngest children in the same posi-
ton by her side. The hair, scalp, and
portions of the arms were burned of
from each, and the blazing rafters,
from above were falling down upon
them. The body of the eldest boy,
aged ten years, was fouud behind the
bedroom door burned to crisp.
Blood was found spattered on the bed
clothes and upon the mothers gar
ments. Appearances Indicate that
the woman had poisoned herself and
children, and that life was extinct be-
fore the flames reached them. No
marks Of violence could be discovered
upon the bodies, but the matter is be

In Colonial times, and during our
earlier history, it was the custom of
the Governors of the respective states

vance of day Of Thanksgiving, 10
recognition of the Divine goodness.
But more recently, as the country
was approaching the end of civil con-
nlct, and the bow Of promised peace
appeared, a patriotic President, rec
ognlzlng the fitness of this observance
made it National Now the day has
a deeper signifcance-ore country.

This day celebrates free thought, free
speech, free schools, freedom of cor
science, and the unchaItenged right of
every man to be the equal Of every
other. On this day all people, the
rich and the poor the high and the
lowly, the jewellers in happy homes
and the stranger who stands at the
gate, are invited to assemble around
a common altar, where thanksgiving
and praise ascend to the Great Au-
thor of Good, for the great blessings
that, morning and evening, have fall
en from His hand.
The President Of the United States
has, by proclamation, designated
Thursday, the tweoty-ninth day of
November, lStant, to be observed as
a day Of Thanksgiving to Almighty
God for the manifold blessings and
mercies which have crowned the year.
1t is, therefore, recommended to the
good people of Idaho, that Oh that
day they remit their usual cmpIoy-
