A New Method for Preserving Fruit Recent
ly Discovered.

The Alta Californian says: A great
deal of fruit is being shipped east from
Sacramento. The amount is much
larger than at this time last year.
Among the shipments has been car
load of assorted fruit put up in the Dietz
packing, a recently patented process.
The Suisun Republican says that the
preservation agent is carbonized wheat
bran, and that by it fresh fruit is pre-
served from decay, so that it can be
shipped east by slow freight and sold off
as the demand is made for it without
being compelled to sacrifice it for fear of
loss. The carload shipped goes to Phil
adelphia. 1t contains grapes, plums,
peaches, apricots, ETC., and goes as fast
freight, though hereafter it is the plan
to ship by slow freight, as it will reduce
the charges over one-half or from $1100
to $500 a car load to New York. If
fruit can be packed In this inexpensive
manner, and preserved indefinitely and
shipped anywhere, the business will de-
velop. Fresh peaches at Christmas
and grapes at mid-winter" are very al
Turing, and Mr.. Dietz says that they
may be had by simply packing them in
wheat bran reduced to charcoal.

SB- Farmers who desire to rid their
fields of bushes and brambles should
take advantage of the long days in Au-
gust, when the sap is nearly all out of
the roots of the trees and brambles to cut
them off close to the ground. A weeks
delay because of the pressure of business
on the farm, will make it necessary to
do the work over again another season.
Whereas, if all bushes and brambles
were cut off the last week in July or the
first week in August, an effectual end
will be made of them and thus further
trouble avoided. Nothing more mars
the beauty of farm than to see fences
and ditch banks lined with hedge rows
and bushes, and weeds Of unhidden
growth. Work now done in this diree-
: tlon is paying, and telling work for the
farmer, says an exchange.

A Devoted Father.

Giovanni Bettocchio, q master
saddler Of Turin, having been
summoned TO Nice by business en-
gagements, took with him his on
~ daughter, an intelligent child
OF seven, whose fondne ss for mu-
sic, prompted her farther to pur-
chase seats in the theatre for the
performance which terminated 50
tragically. He secured places in
the front row of the gallery, and
was occupying them with his lit
tie girl when the alarm of fire
rang though the house. Snatch
ing his child UP in his arms, ! Q
sndeavored, and successfully, to
break through the panic-stricken
crowd to the gallery door; but du-
ring the struggle the child was
torn from his grasp. By an al
most super-human effort he con-
triyed TO re-enter the gallery, by
that time plunged in all but total
darkness, and, while cropping a
bout among the ovsrthrown seats,
caught hold ofa little girl, insen-
sible from fright, whom he carri-
ed out into the street, fully believ-
ing her to be his own daughter.
She proved however to be a
strange child. Hastily setting her
down upon the pavement, he des-
perately fought his way for a sec
ond time into the burning build.
ing, from which he never emerg-
ed alive. His charred corpse was
found, two days later, among the
ruins of the gallery stairs.

MAKING WATCHES.

Defective Watch Cases are one Of the
chief causes of so many watches not
being good time pieces. The cases be-
ing thin and not fitting well, admit
dust and dirt 10 the movement, which
soon interferes with the running parts
ofthe watch necessitating cleaning, re-
pairing, &c, and the amount thus paid
out if applied toward buying a good
case in the beginning, would have
saved all this trouble and expense, We
have recently seen case that meets
these requirements, it having been
carried for over twenty years and still
remains perfect. We refer to the JAS.
BOSS PATENT STIFFENED GOLD
CASE, which has become one of the
staple articles of the Jewellery trade,
possessing as it does so many advanta-
ges over all other watch cases, being
made of two heavy plates ofsolid gold
over a plate of composition, and we
advise all our readers to ask their
Jeweler for a card or catalogue that
will explain the manner in which they
are made.
1t is the only Stifened Case made
with two plates of gold, seamless pen
dants and center, solid joints, crown
pieces, &c, all of which are covered by
letters patent. Therefore buy no case
before consulting a Jeweler who keeps
the JAS. BOSS Patent Stiffened Gold
Case, that you may learn the difference
between it and all limitations that claim
to be equally as good,
For sale by all responsible Jewellers
Ask to see the warrant that accom- pa
MES each case, and don't be persuaded
that any other make of case is as good.

Of oil and has tho power ofthrow-

fed. 1t is said that this oil,
which 10 very pure, is collected in
st. Kilda by catching the bird on
its egg, where ii sits very closely,
and making it disgorge the oil in

leased and another taken. The
inhabitants Of the Farce Island
make curious use of this bird

which projects from the beak.

A Wandering Finnish woman Accidentally
Meets Her Husbsnd and son
Sioux City Journal. ~
The journal has hereto fore made mem
don Of the Finnish woman who came. 70
this CITY on Thursday night last with
three little children, and has since been
unable TO find anyone to talk with her,
On sunday abe was removed, By airec
ton OF Agent Wells, to the house Of John
Reseburg, below the Pacific roupd-house,
There dozens of old country people
visited her, but none could understand
her language. A Finnish tract, given
her by the teacher OF the Swedish Lu.
theran parish school she read Auentiy.
The few Firms in the city who were
brought to her had all left their country
young, and besides came from Swedish
Finland, where the dialect il different
from chat spoken in Russian Finland,
whence this woman came, and none could
talk with her. 80 the matter rested until
Yesterday morning. Then the whole
tangled skein of circumstances was
Strengthened out by little son of Nat
sykes, and in very story -bookish way,
too. Young Sykes had greatly interested
himself in the lost family, and had
brought several old country people to
the Reseburg house, which was near his
fathers residence, hoping to find come
one who could talk to the woman. He
was Walking up the track with another
lad early in the morning when he met q
straDge-looking man leading little boy.
The thought.struck him that may be this
man, who is surely foreigner, can talk
the same language as the lost woman.
He spoke to the man, but he evidently
did not understand, for he only shook
his head. Young Sykes thought this
favorable, for If the man could not speak
English there was more reason to sup.
pose he conld talk Finnish. He motioned
the man to follow, and led the way to the
Reseburg house.
When the strange man and his little
son were brought into the room where
the lost woman was with her three chill
dren he did not wait to talk. He only
caught them all in his arms. and cried.
The lost woman cried too, and only the
bibles showed tier joy in the usual way.
This then was the husband that the lost
woman was looking for, and the boy with
nm vas the son, years old, that she
had told by signs to SO many within the
past few days that she had lost, count.
\ ing the years of his age on her fingers.
How the family became separated, and
where the father and son had been, oi
course no one outside ot the family can
know. but they are just as happy az il
I the whole matter was explained to the
public. 1t is strange. if the reader will
stop to think it over, what slender
thread of events drew together agair
this Finnish family that had got separa
ted in a country where no one coult
speak their language.
