Figs.
List Of Varieties and How to Dyy, Pre-
serve, Pickle, etc.

Col. D. Redmond, Agricultural
Editor OF the Sua and Press, and an-
shortly en- figs, gives the following
methods Of preserving them:
The fig is one of our neglected re-
sources. We have often called atten-
ton TO the great value OF this fruit,
and we take pleasure now in respond
ing to the requests Of several Of our
subscribers for information in regard
TO varieties, mode Of drying, preserv-
ing,e Wequote from an essay ofthe
editor Of this department read before
the Fruit Growers Association, at
New Orleans, and from other sources.
Among the varieties cultivated in
this country we find the following
DARK CoLoRED FIGs.-Brunswick,
'IsEs5En Turkey, Celestial, Black Is
7cni4, 1olsscK STeF4oa, 'rslvIo6os5 8Conue
lviolet).
LIGHr CoLoRED White Ge-
noa, Green Ischia, Smyrna, Narcotics
Nerii, Angelique, Madeleine, Early
Lemon.
The light colored figs are generally
preferred for drying, preserving and,
.pickling, though the Brown Turkey
answers well for any Of these uses.
Drying FIGs.-I do not think our
southern figs can be successfully
dried, for commercial purposes, in
the sun. A small drying-houee, or
fruit-kiln, viii answer the purpose.
Having sufficient crop of figs TO JUS
tify the outlay, procure good dryer
and proceed % follows: Gather The
fruit when fully ripe, bat not cracked
open. Place it in a perforated tin
bucket, or wire basket, dip it for
few seconds into deep kettle 81 hot
and moderately strong I've. After
allowing the I've to drip from the figs,
place them in kettle Of boiling syr-
up, made ready for the purpose; let
them remain in this syrup for about
four or five minutes, after which dip
them ont with skinner, let the
syrup drip or run off entirely, and
place them at once in a kiln or dry
ing-house. When sufficiently dry
let them cool off, and pack in drums
OF boxes, pressing down compactly
with a small lever.
ANOTHER MODE or DEYING.-
Scald in weak I've OF salaratns to
take the roughness off Of the skin.
Boil in syrup (made with fourteen
pounds of A" sugar to one gallon
of water) FIVE to ten minutes'; take
out and dry on Stats or porous cloth
spread over suitable frame
When dry, roll in pulverized sugar,
place in drying furnace, or stove
gently heated, and when fully baked
or dry, pack in tight boxes or cans,
using a little pulveriged sugar, ia
vored with extract Vanilla, between
the layers.
CRYsTALuzED EIes.-To crystal
lie the fig, proceed exactly as for
drying, in the foregoing recipe, until
the syrup is driped from the fruit.
Then sprinkle powdered sugar thick
ly over the figs and dry gradually
in your dryer or oven, turning the
fruit frequently, and sprinkling fresh

However there IS no doubt but that |
the congress will meet.
When the new Illinois State
board OF health, created by a
law of the last legislature, bel
gan its operations, there were
over 5000 persons in the State
who pretended to be physicians.
Thus far the board has discov-
cred over 1900 practicing physi-
clans who had no diplomas, and
about 400 who had been practic-
ing under fraudulent diplomas,
and over LOO medical humbugs
have been obliged to shut up or
leave the State, being brazen
imposters. And yet the board
has but just fairly begun to en-
force the law.
A serious attempt is about to
be made in London, to introduce
horseflesh as an article of food.
It will be remembered that in
1868, a grand banquet was held
at the Langham Hotel, at which
the chief dishes at least of every
course consisted Of horseiesh
dressed in a variety of ways.
The dinner was pronounced to
be q success. The Beard of
Works having sanctioned the es-
tablishment Of slaughter houses
for horses intended for human
food. hippohagy may be expec-
ted to have fair trial in En-
gland.
Viscount Newry is by nature soft
hearted. and by inclination gener-
Gus. He adores art and athletics.
curses cards and cotton, delights in
dancing and the drama. hates horse
racing and humbug, and worships
women and works of art. He may
frequently be found dusting his col
lections Of crockery in his lodgings,
or airing his collection of anecdote
and ideas at the club with q power
and quantity of discursive talk of
which he seems to have caught the
knack from his Irish connections.
He is six foot one in his hose, and a
regular assistant at first nights" in
various parts of the globe.
Never in modern times has
there been such a period Of fam
inc as in the last five years.
First in Anatolia, Turkey, then
in India, and now in China and
Brazil. Tens of thousands have
died from sheer starvation. Last
month the deaths from this
cause in Brazil were reported to
be as many as one hundred a
day. Government and individu-
ale have done what they can,
but are powerless to deal ade-
quately with the calamity.
The Key West City of the Gulf says
that noticeable change has taken place
in that city. Two years sgo there were
fifty grog shops there; now there are but
two. Then coffee was seldom drank !,
except by the Cubans; now there are
more than seventy-fve coffee shops,
and most of them are well patronized by
all classes of people. The consumption
of coffee is enormous. One establish
rcent alone roasts one hundred pounds
per week.

1t seems that the troubles of
the unfortunate Lady Kingsley,
who has been earning Il living
by shirt making at sixty cents a
week, are due to a trustee, who
made away with the provision

FOURTH OF JULY MEETING.-The
meeting held last night at Yesler's
Hall, to take into consideration the
matter of celebrating the coming
Fourth Of July at this place in . pat
riotic manner, was largely attended
and quite enthusiastic. Tho meet
ing was organized by the election Of
Mr.. G. Hanford chairman, and Jack
Levy secretary. A committee OF
three was appointed. consisting OF
Messrs. Abrams, Turner and Levy,
to wait upon the citizens and see
what amount could be collected and
report next Saturday evening. DR..
Sparkling intimated to the audience
that he was about to start . yacht
club. and requested that all interest
ed in the subject would meet at his
office this evening. The meeting
then adjourned.
Nor THERs.-Sheriff Wyckoff hav-
ing received information of the
whereabouts Of Kelley and Murray.
who escaped from the Seattle Jail
last Fall, last Thursday left this city
and proceeded to Vancouver, from
whence came the information. Al
ter instituting diligent inquiry and
failing to discover any trace of the
prisoners, he abandoned the search
and returned here last evening. He
reports times on the Columbia as
lively. The salmon catch, contrary
to expectation. is more than average.
This will set the canneries in full
operation, and give employment to
hundreds Of people, whicn will make
money easy and plentiful.

"BAD" TEAcHERs.-At the recent
teachers examination in King coun-
ty, W. t., none of the applicants
received first grade certificates. Ten
were awarded second grade and
seven third grade diplomas. Why,
we have little girls in this State who
take first grade certificates, and we
are certain that the examinations are
fully as difficult here as in the Ter
ritory.-Pvt. Tel.
The difference is probably in the
examiners. Some of the Oregon
Collegiate institutions have in sew
eral instances conferred the degree
OF Doctor OF Laws upon men who
could not read their diplomas, and
the degree of Doctor Of Medicine
upon men who could not read or
write the English language correct
ly. to say nothing Of the Doctors Of
Divinity; from which we may con-
clude that it don't take much educa-
ton to get ''first grade certificate"
in Oregon. Prof. Ingraham, our
Superintendent, requires higher
standard for teachers. Several OF
the teachers examined here held
first grade certificates from Oregon,
and one, at least, from California.
ACCIDENT Yesterday morning
Mr.. Geo. Lindley, who was engaged
in curbing a we'll sunk on the prop
erty of N. J. Ohm. in the elevated
portion of the city, was struck in the
face by falling stone and consid-
erably damaged. At the time he
was some seventy feet from the sur
face. and had the stone been of any
considerable size he must have been
killed outright. The Injury sus-
tanned waa not sufficient to disable
him, and after applying the usual
remedies he ooniiausd work.
