Fashionable Tipping in England.

Not long ago strange scene took
place in pretty garden not hundred
miles from London. The tree shaded
lawn was scattered over with seats,
with here and there a bright-colored
Persian rug for the special behoof of
any guests who object TO open air
amusements on account of the :" damp
grass" To some minds grass is always
damp. 1t was early IN the afternoon.
and the only tenants of the garden were
the servants, who were arranging re-
freshments upon some tables under the
trees. They seemed full of mods and
becks and whispers of apparently mys-
FERROUS import passed among them. A
carriage drives up to the gate and two
ladies, entering, look around for their
hostess. The servant who has admit
ted them goes in search of his mistress,
and few moments afterwards young
and beautifully dressed woman issues
from the house, her face deeply flushed.
her eyes half closed and her gait uncer-
tain. just at this moment another car
rage drives up, gentleman and lady
being the occupants. They, too, enter

Preserving Cider.

1t is the habit of some people to use
poor apples for cider, but a pure, sweet
article can only be obtained from good,
clean, sound fruit. ,Hair-cloth, or gun
nv, is better than straw for the juice to
pass through, and as the cider runs
from the press, let it pass through a
hair sieve into large vessel. After it
has stood a few hours, small white bub-
bles will be observed coming to the sur
face, through the pomace collected on
top of the juice. Draw off the latter
through a spigot two or three inches
from the bottom of the vessel, into
clean casks, and when bubbles appear at
the bung-hole, rack it again. Three
rackings are usually required, before
the juice is put into barrels, and at the
last racking, about half pint of warm
sweet oil, and half a pound of glucose,
are added to produce fine article of
cider. Place the cask in a cool place
and let it stand until the flavor is what
is desired, when the cider is put
into clean barrels previously pre-
pared in the following manner:
Take clean strips of rags and
dip them in melted sulphur; burn them
in the bung hole of the barrel, laying
the bung loosely on the end of the rag
to retain the fumes of the sulphur in the
barrel. Put pound of mustard seed
(secured, in a coarse muslin bag) in the
barrel and add also pound ofisinglass
or fine gelatine, dissolved in hot water.
The cider will keep sweet q long time
treated in this way. 1t must be kept in
q cool place. - sss laif
"A later method of keeping cider
sweet, employed by professional cider
makers, is by the use of calcium sui
phite, or sulphite of lime and besides
being more convenient it has been
found to be as equally effective as the
sulphur vapor and mustard. The pre-
liminary steps in each case are the
same To each gallon of cider in the
cask, add from an, eighth to quarter
of an ounce of sulphite, first mixing the
latter in quart of the cider, then
pouring it into the cask and thoroughly
mixing by rolling the cask about. In
weeks time, or less, the sulphite will
have impaired its preserving qualities
to the cider, when the latter may be
bottled off. Sulphite (not sulphate) oil
lime may be obtained of druggists, and
costs about forty cents a pound by the
barrel. = If too much is added, sui
phurous taste will be impaired to the
cider.-PrGirie Farmer.
