Eyaporating Fruit with Profit.

Fruit growers who contemp late put
ting up expensive evaporators and car
rying Oh the evaporation of fruit on a
large scale are advised by one who has
had an extended experience in the BUSH
ness. He says that in order to insure
profitable results one should not only
have large orchard of his own, say
one thousand trees or more, but ought
to be in neighborhood where there
are many large orchards and fruit to be
had at low rates. This experinced cor
respondent estimates that one bushel of
apples makes about five or six pounds
of dried fruit. He allows eight or ten
persons to run one evaporation, and, as
to the profits. adds ten cents per bushel
for preparing and drying the apples to
the cost of the fruit and he has the
profits. as. for instance: Say the apples
are fifteen cents per bushel and the cost
OF preparing and drying ten cents,
making twenty five cents. The amount
OF evapo.ated fruit from one bushel of
apples is, say five and one-half pounds
at. perhaps, eight cents per pound. Civ
ing profit of twelve and a half cents
per biishel. OF course if the skins and
cores arc converted into jelly or vinegar
it would add three cents per bushel to the
profits IN Y World

/" Limited" Railroad Tickets.

A late decision of the Court of APP
peals of New York is of considerable
interest to travellers. A Mr.. Auerbach,
of New York, bought coupon ticket to
New York, the last coupon of which
covered the distance between Buffalo
and New York. The condition printed
upon the ticket was, that the holder
should use it on or before Sept. &c, 1877.
1t so happened that he made stops on
the way, and on the afternoon of the
Goth was at Rochester. He then took
the Central & Hudson River Road for
New York. Until midnight was fairly
past the ticket was accepted and
punched by the conductor, but before
the morning of the 9th had fully
dawned that official declared the ticket
ssspent,n and from Hudson down to
New York demanded fare in cash. Mr..
Auerbach refused to pay, and the con-
ductor, as conductors may when pas
Asengerstwithbrt lawful excuse refuse to
pay fare, put him off the train, to walk.
He naturally sued for damages, claim
ing that if he began his journey before
the end of the last day allowed him, he
had the right to finish it, no matter
though it might run into the day fol-
lowing. And the Court of Appeals sus-
tanned his claim. They say in effect
This passenger was to fuse his ticket
on or before Sept. &C." Well, he did
use it on the afternoon of the Goth when
he offered it to the conductor in pay

conductor punched it. At that moment

Are Women Better Dressed than Non !

One of the signs of advanced civiliza-
ton is discomfort in dress; the further
any nation advances In civilization, the
more she tortures her subjects, and,
strangely ,enoueh, the infection falls
upon the so-called upper class. The
educated class, the members Of the
liberal professions, the denizens Of the
city, the merchant and his clerks, suffer
more than the poor laaorer from heat if
not from cold. As between the sexes
there is littld difference in this respect.
Civilization even extends its cruel hand
over the babe In its cradle, and would
affiict the dead If they had any feelings
left.
Science has investigated the absorbent
and radiant powers of different fibers
and different colors, but man, in his
wisdom, disregards this, and prefers
the worst instead of the best. Woman
may expose her brain to the direct rays
of the sun by wearing small, useless
bonnet, but fashion compels her to carry
parasOl to compensate for it. On the
other hand, fashion, not so cruel as she
is painted, is equally in favor of large
hats with useful brims. Not SO with
man. Broad brims are tabooed, and
parasols are not permissible. With re-
gard to the neck, man has no choice; q
collar he must wear. and one fitting
close to the neck and reinforced by 8
cravat or tie. To woman alone is
granted the comfort of low-necked.
half-low, heart-shaped or loose-fittine
collars. Tie body, or trunk,is no better
| off. Man must wear stiff white shirt,
a vest, and lined and padded coat.
Woman needs wear but one (visible)
garment, which may be made as light
and thin as possible without being trans
parent. It Is even doubtful whether the
tightly drawn corset, that object of uni
versal use which is so violently de
nounced by the opposite sex, cause:

To cure q Goldfish well requires care
and experiences; and unless done well
all the fishers toll may 90 for little.
The cod is usually passed to a gang of
four men. One rips up the fish, a
second takes out the entrails and cuts
of the head. third-usually the best
man of the lot-by deft movement
cuts out the backbone, a fourth spreads
on the salt and lays the fish in pile.
Then the heap of cod are distributed on
the flakes, or fir-strewn platforms,
reared along the shores. Everywhere
in the neighborhood of the unnumbered
fishing villages these broad platforms
appear. now perched in a cleft of the
rocks. now rising in tiers, but always
placed near the sea. in which the offal
is dropped. During the curing. which
lasts two or three weeks, the fish must
be watched carefully. If left too long
on one side. they become ''over-salted."
The sun in that case draws the salt to
one side. leaving the other soft or rank.
and the fish is almost unstable. Then
they must be heaped up at night, COW
