the gentleman, who resides

inquiry il was learned that some ono

ceremony on the 4tb, signing the
marriage cerci6cste with the name Of
tho clergyman and underneath some
fictitious namo as his agent. The poor
fellow having lost his certificate in his

residence, refusing TO live with him

HOW TO PRESERVE CIDER.

pure, sweet cider is only attaina
bic from clean, sound fruit, and the
fruit should therefore be carefully ex.
amined and wiped before grinding.
In the press use hair cloth or gunny
in place of straw. As the cider runs
from the press let it pass through a
hair seive into large open vessel that
will hold as much juice as can be OK
pressed in one day. In one day, or
sometimes less the pomice will rise to
the top, and in short time grow very
thick. When little white bubbles
break through it draw off tho liquid
through very small spigot, placed
about three inches from the bottom so
that the less may be left behind. The
cider must be drawn off into very clean,
sweet casks, preferably fresh liquor
casks, and closely watched. The mo-
ment the white bubbles, before men.
toned, are perceived rising at the
bunghole, rack 1t again. 1t is usually
necessary to repeat this three times.
Then fill up the cask with cider in
every respect like that originally con.
tanned in it add a tumbler OF warm
sweet oil, and bung up tight For very
fine cider it is customary TO add ut this
state of the process about half pound
of glucose Starch sugar., or a smaller
portion of white sugar. The cask
should then be allowed to remain in a
cool place until the cider has acquired
the desired flavor. In the meantime
clean barrels for its reception should
be prepared as follows. Some clean
stripes OF RACES are dipped in melted
sulphur, lighted and burned in the
bunghoie, and the bung laid loosely on
the end of the rag so as to retain the
sulphur vapor within the barrel. Then
tie up half a pound of mustard seed in
a coarse muslin bag and put it in the
barrel with cider, add about a quarter
OF a pound of isinglass, or fine gelatine
dissolved in hot water.
This is the old fashioned way, and
will keen cider in the same condition
as when il went into the barrel, if kept
in a cool place for n year.
Professional cider makers are using
calcium sulphite (sulphite of lime), in
stead of mustard and sulphur vapor.
1t is much more convenint and etfec-
tual. To use it, it is simply requisite
to add one-eighth to one-quarter OF an
ounce OF the sulphlte TO each gallon oi

CHEAP FACTORY ICE.
1T IS MADE IN GEORGIA AT A COST OF
EIoHTY.FrvE CENTS A TON.


The Augusta Georgia. Chronicle
says: "The Arctic Ice Company are
now turning out between ten and
twelve thousand pounds of ice per day,
which they are under contract to de-
liver at half a cent n pound. The
process employed by the company is
said to be the cheapest known to sci,
cnce at the present day. The cost OF
manufacturing ice here IS only eighty
five cents ton, or about four conts
and quarter hundred pounds. AS
II is sold in bulk at ten dollars a ton
the margin OF profit is nine dollars and
fifteen cents on each two thousand
pounds. This IS ahead OF California
gold mining. The ice comes out IN
huge blocks, thirty'two inches IN iengtp
and twelve inches square. There IS
space in the freezing chest $50 to speak }
for four hundred and eighty OF these
blocks, amounting In weight to thirty
thousand pounds. AS ltrequires seven
ty-two hours, however from the time
the water is poured into the cans until it
is turned out again in solid form, only
one-third of the quantity is produced
daily. 1t is the intention OF the com
pany to double the capacity OF the
works in very short time. The blocks
in the new chest will be only SIX
inches thick, and as they VIII freeze
much more rapidly than those OF
double the thickness, the daily produc-
tion will be correspondingly great.

Down lifc's steep decline;
Once her arm was thy support,
Now she leans on thine.
See upon her loving face
Those deep lines Of care;
Think-it was her toll for thee
Left that record there.
Ne'er forget her tlreless watch
Kept by day and night,
Taking from her step The grace,
From her eye the light,
Cherish well her faithful heart
Which through weary years,
Ecboed with Its sympathy
All smiles and tears.
Thank God for thy mothers love,
Guard the priceless boon
For the bitter parting hour
Come'h all too soon.

Loses power 10 save,
