Strange Professions.

Among the curiosities of the Indian
census are the extraordinary professions
which ONE Of her majesty's subjects
declare they pursue. In Allahabad no
fewer than 974 at q former census de
scribcdthemselvesa a." Glow blackguards,"
a calling which, however, is only too
common elsewhere than in Allahabad,
but the professional "painters of horses
with spots" and the "hereditary clerks
who pray to their inkhorns" are surely
peculiar to India. In Russia, however,
the progress OF civilization has deyel-
oped q new profession which it would
be difficult to match even in India. Its
specially is the burning of insured
premises. The st. Petersburg insurance
companies have just captured one Of
three members of this profession who
have carried on this lucrative vocation
for several years. They were in the
habit ofarranging for contlagrations with
the owners of insured premises. On
being guaranteed twenty per cent. of
the insurance money they set fire to the
houses, which, being mostly built of
wood, burned easily enough. They
might have been earning their twenty
per cent. to-day but for the astuteness
of the Libau police, who set a trap for
them into which they fell, much to the
delight of the insurance companies. 1t
is possible enough that members of this
scandalous profession are not unknown
in other countries besides Russia.
Frauds against insurance companies are
difficult TO detect wen when the in
sured fires his own property; but when
the work is undertaken by professional
fire. raiser detection becomes almost i'm

Fruit Canning.

Good canned fruit is q stranger to
tables of thousands of farmers when it
might as easily be used. Fruit is often
left to waste and spoil, though a slight
expenditure would preserve it for winter.
II they can be had, berries are among
the incest canned fruits. Peaches,
apples, plums, apricots, and, indeed, all
eatable fruits, are worth canning. Dried
fruits can never wholly take the place
of canned fruits for family use. Glass
jars are preferred by most persons, and
are cheapest in the end. With care
they can be used many years, though
new rubber bands must be procured
when needed. In canning, sugar should
certainly be used, and it should be of
the granulated white grades, as poor
sugar hurts the flavor of the fruit. The
rule is to put o%ne-quarter Of a pound of
sugar with one pound of fruit, but this
quantity may be doubled if the fruit be
unusually acid. Some persons think
that fruit is good when canned without
sugar, but in that case it loses color and
firmness. The fruit used for canning
is to be of the best quality, and as
freshly picked as possible. Well-ripened
fruit, not, however, dead-ripe and soft,
is in every way preferable. In fact, q
cannery should really be located nea
the orchards. for there is a manifest de-
terioration in the quality of the fruit be-
tween the time it is picked and the time
it is ready for the II Coarse-grained
market varieties seldom can so well as
the more highly-favored kinds. When
the fruit has been peeledand pitted place
it in the preserving kettle and properly
cook: but if it IS still boiling hot The
cans are to be filled full, to the very
brim, the elastic put on, the jar
wiped, and the top screwed down at
once, and frightened several times after
ward. As a writer on the subject said
recently "Good fruit, put boiling hot
into the perfect cans, filled full and
sealed up at once, will be fresh and pure
when opened, though years later" Sim
ply pouring boiling water over fruit
does not expel the air. Partly filed
fruit jars will spoil. Canned berries are
to be put in a preserving kettle, with
layers of sugar, and boiled from five to
fifteen minutes. The syrup can be bot
tied up, some of it, for other uses.
Some persons prefer to cook berries in
the jars in which they are to be canned.
In this case the jars filled up with fruit
are set in a wash boiler, on wooden Stats,
SO as not t o touch the bottom. Cold water
is pouredin till it comes close to the rims
of the jars, and heated until the fruit is
we'll cooked, when the fruit in one jar is
used to fill up the others, and they are
sealed and put away. We may add that
glass jars of fruit should be pat in a
dry, dark and cool place where the tenn
perature is equable throughout the sea-
son,

Household Hints.

To take grease from floors, rub soft
soap on the spots, then press with a hot
iron.
To take grease from silk, moisten the
spot with chloroform, then rub with a
cloth until perfectly dry. 1t will not
injure the most delicate color.
If rats or mice infest any part of your
house find their holes and stuff them
with rags dipped in a strong solution of
cayenne pepper. No rodent will ever
take q second nibble at that rag.
An economical housewife will always
Guy her soap in large quantities, cut
each bar in square pieces and store in a
dry place. 1t lasts better after shrink
ing.
The yellow stain made by the oil
used on sewing machines can be removed
if, before washing in soapsuds, the spot
be rubbed carefully with a bit Of cloth
