Hoou canned fruit is a strange Il
tables of thousands of farmers when it
might as easily he used. Fruit is often
left to waste and spoil, though slight
expenditure would preserve it for winter.
If they can lie had, berries are among
the incest canned fruits. Peaches,
apples, plums, apricots, and, indeed, all
eatablc 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 nsel many years, though
new rubber bands must be procured
when needed. In canning, sugar should
certainly be used, and it should be of
the Glanulated white grades, as poor
sugar hurts the favor of the fruit. The
rule is to put one-quarter of n 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 Nay preferable. In fact,
cannery should really be located near
the orchards. for there is manifest de-
terioration in the quality of the fruit be-
tween the time it is picked and the time
it is ready for the cans. Coarse grained
market varieties seldom can so we'll as
tho more highly-havored kinds. When
the fruit has been peeled aud pitted place
it in the preserving kettle and properly
cook but if it Is still boiling hot the
cans are to DO filed 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, filed full and
scaled 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 arc
to be put in preserving kettle, with
layers of sugar, and boiled from five TO
fifteen minutes. The Ryrup can be bot
4 tied up, some of it, for other uses.
Some persons prefer to cook berries in
the iars in which they are to be canned
I In this case the jars filled mp with fruit
are set in a wash-boiler, on wooden Stats,
q so as not to touch The bottom. Cold water
is poured in till it comes close to the rims
{ of the jars, and heated until the fruit 10
well cooked, when the fruit in one jar is
J used to fill up the others, and they are
sealed and put away. We may add that
glass jars of fruit should be put in a
dry, dark and cool place where the tenn

son.

Parents Suspected of Murder and Arson.
 LAKE VILLAGE, July GA two-story wooden tenement house on the west side of the river, owned by Mrs. Mary Blaisdell and occupied by herself and two other families, was burned Monday night. The cause is unknown. Three children belonging to 8 colored man named Moody, one of the ten ants, perished in the flames. They were four, six and ten years of age respectively. When found their skulls were crushed in, which looked suspicious. Foul play is feared. It is reported that Moody tried to leave the vicinity the morning after the fire by walking to the next town, but was stopped as he was boarding the train. An inquest was held Tuesday. Moody and wife were exam journed until Friday. A public hearing will then be given.

Bliss this afternoon, ''Dr., don't you think | might manage to eat 8 small piece of beef l steak" The Doctor had to smile at that idea but presently gave orders by which little pieces of tenderloin were scraped and I the scrapings slightly boiled. This morsel was then given to the President, who l held it to his mouth awhile and | then asked if he should swallow it. '.Do as you please" said the Doctor, but the President swallowed the juice from the meat. Subsequently he enjoyed additional nutrition, the result of mixing an egg in his chicken broth, and he has eaten considerable of that during the day and evening.

ssalwars who viii support the Presidents

 The reports of the bribery investigating committee were submitted to-day. The re ports have divided on party ines the five Republicans signing the majority, and the two Democrats the minority report. The majority report, signed by Messrs. Scott Boardman, Skinner, E. A. Carpenter and Draper is very short, and gives no opinions as to the guilt or innocence of any of the persons brought before them The ground taken is that the matter is now in the courts, where it must be decided therefore any statement of opinion on the part of the com mittee would be g prejudgment which the committee ought not to put forward. A mi nority report, signed by Messrs. Brooks and Shanley, is about two columns long, and spares neither Bradley, Sessions, nor any of the principal persons who appeared before the committee An earlier draft of the mi nority report also blamed President Garfield for using his influence in the Senatorial con test, but since the shooting of the President MT. Brooks had this part of the report strick- en out.

eU1TEAU's WORDS AFTER THE SHOOTING.


 WASHINGTON, July 6.-The question has been raised as to the exact expression used by the would-be assassin after shooting the President. Guitsau denied that he said, 'I am a stalwart and this makes Arthur Presi- dent" Officer Kearney, who made the ar rest, was asked about the matter and replied, elf Guiteau says he did not use the language attributed to him he speaks base falsehood" :" The officer further said that if it was neces- sary he would go before notary public and make oath that Guiteau did use the language attributed to him. There is abundant evi- dence to disprove the story which has been circulating that after shooting the President Guiteau turned his revolver toward Secretary Blaine with the evident intention of shooting him also, but was prevented by Benson, for merly of the secret service division. The story is denied by Ticket Agents Smith ,Parke and others who saw Guiteau shoot the Presi- dent. They say that Benson instantly grasped Guiteau by the throat and bore him to the floor. MT. Parke says that Guiteau made no demonstration whatever toward Secretary Blaine, and further, that no man caught the assassin by the throat and bore him to the floor. Mir Smith was asked whether he saw the revolver turned toward Blaine. q did not" was the reply. W"The man paid no at tention whatever to Blaine" s.No,'' said Parke 'tas soon as he had fired the second shot he attempted to pass out. I saw plain ly his every movement" Parke was the first to seize Guiteau, and he says there was no man of Benson's description in the ladies' waiting room at the time of the shooting. fho afo
