3El0J LAND TlRESIDE,


rGlass jars are the most economical
thar viii cost a tribe more to begin
with, but can be used year after year,
BY occasionally supplying new elastics
when the old ones grow loose. Ex-
anime each jar carefully before using,
to be sure that there is no imperfec-
ton. The elastic must be tight and
firm. the screw in good order and the
olsss without crack or nick. The fruit
must be fresh and mature, but not
syer.ripe. Granulatsd sugar is the best
fer canning; common grades are not
50 pure, and will injurc the flavor OF
toe fruit. Sugar is not necessity IN
.canning, but fruit put up without IT is
only suitable for making pies. Huckle'
berries, raspberries and blackoerries
are pslatable with a very little, but
Strawberries put up in this plain way
look faded and taste insipid. Sugar
helps to preserve the form Of the ber-
ries without it they will be liable to
become mushy and soft in cooking, es-
pecially if that process is carried on too
long. The usual proportions are, O
quarter of a pound OF sugar to eacn
pound offuit, which answers very well
for the sweeter varieties FOR those
which are very sour the quantity may
be increased or even doubled, making
half pound of sugar to each pound OF
fruit. which is the greatest amount evei
used in canning. When the fruit IL
properly cooked. and while still boiling
hot. place folded cloth in a pan and
saturate it with cold water; on this put
the Jar to be filed, with silver spoon
in it. Fill the jar to the very brlm :
adiust the elastic, wipe 1t dry, and
screw on the top. without a moments
delay as the fruit cools, and the glass
and metal contract, the top must be
repeatedly frightened, until it can be
moved no farther. Keep IN cool, dry
Mace. and unless itis dark as. WE'LL

THE TRUE WHY

Under no circumstances does it paw to
quarrel. Iii the heat Of anger words are
spoken which had. far better be left unsald.
but which once spoken, cannot be recalled
or forgotten. A quarrel degrades Il mar iii
his own eyes, disgraces him in the eyes Of
others, and what is worse, blnnts his sensi-
bilities on the one hand and increases the
passionate irritability Of the other. The
truth is the@more' peacefully and quietly we
get on, the better for our ~neighbors and
ourselves. In nine cases ont OF ten, the bet
ter course is if q man cheats you cease to
deal with him If he SANDERS, take care to
live so that nobody will believe him ii he
is abusive, quit his company. No matter
who he is, or how he abuses you, the Wisest
way is to let him alone, for there is nothing
better than this cool, calm and quiet way OF
dealing with the wrongs we meet with.
Lies unclased will die, fires Unframed will
burn out, and quarrels neglected become as
dull as the crater of a volcano.

comes into lite afflicted with a club-footed
sense Of propriety, or a cross-eyed judgment,
or an epileptic temper. Af.least the reflec-

SOMETHING TOsLEARN.
BY S. A. NJ. MOSS.

Learn to- strive for much and to be content
with little. DO not imagine that the only
reason Whysothers fail of accomplishing all
they undertake is because Of i'll laid plains
or misdirected efforts. There may, nay,
there probably will come a time when,
weighed in the balancefof another's mind,
you yourself will be found wanting. We
may all strive. but few Of lis. can win ever
the half of alive hopesto win. Ills an easy
matter to have faith in ourselves, but not so
pleasantto beSproved by the world.
There was but one Alexander the Great,
but one Hannibal, one Scipio, one Caesar,
one Napoleon TheresWas but one Shaks-
peare, and, too, there was butroile Lancelot;

than the one Tennyson POLITICALLY placed be-
fore us:

Five knights at once, and every younger knight,

A CRysTALIZED WOMAN,

Another very remarkable instance, we are
informed, has just come to light as to the
preserving or petrifying effects of nitrate Of
soda. A we'll known and influential city
firm, who have extensive connections with
South American planters, miners, etc., have
recently received from Peru Il curiosity in
the shape of what may be termed a crystal
lied female body, which, as their c%orrespon-.
dents advise them, was some short time
since discovered by a set Of miners at Pisa
que, in that country, completely imbedded
III one of those great nitrate OF soda deposits
peculiar to the district. The body is des-
cribed as having the appearance Of a petri1ied
mummy, and is stated to be in a singular
state of preservation. This curiosity has
already been seen by some OF our best known
naturalists and analysts, and il is believed
that the woman, who apparently was of
middle age, must have persisted through ac-
cident or design at a remote %periodtof the
past, as some even go so far as to say Q 900
or 5000 years ago. That her death was vio-
lent there is little room to doubt,+inas,nuch
as when discovered the body was in a re-
cumbent position, partly on the side, with
chest slightly crushed if through a+severe
fall, the legs drawn up. and the fingers and
toes contracted. The hair is iii a most per-
feet state, and maintains its contact with the
skull in a most peculiarly astonishing man
ner, anu the mouth is open, displaying the
teeth and tongue, which are plainly visible.
The eXtremities are remarkably small and
perfect. even the nails being In their respec-
tive places. The hair on the head, we should
add, appears to be plated in a very peculiar
manner, and is of great length and thick
ness, though iii some parts detached, owing
to part OF the skull having been'destroyed.
The clriostyat present is at the,ofice of the
firm, who have imported it from South
America, but we understand that arrange
ments are being made that it shall be pub
licly shown at the Westminster Aquarium
at an early NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

THEsIDEAL HOME.

No home can be thoroughly attractive
without intelligence, without a thousand
wide-spreading interests, reaching out to-
ward places of human veal the most remote
from personal and family details; and the
broader the s%ympathies, the efforts, both OF
father and mother, the better for the whole
household, the better for the whole world.
The cooperation of both sexes must reach
everywhere, into industries, science, art, re-
ligion, and into the conduct and govern
ment of thesState.
Family Interests, instead OF suffering from
this widening of Womanly influence, must
be surely ennobled and benefited proper
tionatelya with the wider sympathies OF a
more enlightened motherhood. Tenderness

depends upon the spirit OF mutual love and
forbearance which each brings into daily
life. A
The mother. occupied with her children
and household cares during the day, finds
heart and brain heavy at it's close. Yet it is
a great mistake to meet her husband on his
return from business with a sorrowful face,
or to pour her vexations and ~annoyances
into his wearied ear. Neither should the
husband bring the gloom Of the counting
house to sadden the freside. That is a sor-
roWful home where the children stop their
sports when the father appears, when he
orders them at the least noise to be seated
in different corners of the room, when he
lies dies on the sofa and all must be perfect
~ hushed, or sits before the fire and never
speaks.
But If, in closing his front door, he shuts
out business cares, how is home gladdened
by his presence. The children rush to meet
him, they climb his knees, or sit besideshim
and their pleasant prattle and trolic that fol-
lows, divert his mind ef~fectuaily:, The wea-
ry escapes for a quiet halt hour, and returns
refreshed to preside with grace at the tea
table. This is the time for telling all the
pleasant occurrences of the day, or laughing
over It's mishaps reading such family let
tiers as may be shared in common, and tell

DOMESTIC HAPPINESS.

The happiness Of home depends iii a great
degree upon the way in which the marriage
relation is regarded. II. as old Rutherford
has it, a man considers that a woman was
not taken from his head totbe his SUPERIOR
or from his feet to be his slave, but from his
side, to be his companion and equal; if SO
regardingIler he confides in her Judgment,
looks to her in p%erplexity, considers that
she has an interest inahis business affairs,
consults heron all important matters, let's
her share in his pleasures and pursuits land
also in his purse, he lifts her at once tosthe
place God designed that she should fill her
heart is fully satisfied, and he finds in her
all he asks for. Such women were Mary
Someryille, Mrs. Agassiz, Mrs. Prof. Hitch
cock, and many others we might mention.
But let his idol fall from the pedestal where
she was enshrined before marriage, and be-
come simply the household drudge, nurse
maid, and seamstress, without the wages !;
having to ask for all she needs, and often
preferring to 90 without rather than to ask !;
thought too little of to be conyersed with,
read to, or confided in the love to the hus-
band dies out, or is transferred to the chill
dren, happiness is sought outside Of home,
and the heart IS left bitter and desolate.
With many men the great charm in a wo-
man. is to have her clinging and dependent.
ESQ they take the'' child wife" Dora, and
find too late it was an Agnes whom they
needed. Men and women are essentially
different-two distinct halvesot humanity,
making one perfect whole. Something must
be sacrificed to make that whole perfect.
If, in theeprocess of growing alike there is
some attfition, it is worth the pain. Women
gain in streng 9Th and fortitude; men in depth
