Household ReciDcs.

New METHOD OF PREsERvISG.-Beat
we'll together equal quantities of honey
and spring water; pour it into an earthen
jan; into this put reshly-gathered plums,
or peaches, and cover close. This is
said to keep them as fresh the year
round as if just gathered from the tree.
When any of the fruit is taken out, wash
it, and it is fit for immediate use.
RIPE Observation-Disclosures may be
kept almost any length of time and
come out as fresh as when first picked
by preserving in pune vinegar diluted
with water-one gill Of vinegar and two
of water. Pick when ripe, but not very
soft; leave the stems on. out do not
break the skin. Put into wood or stone.
and put the liquid On them cold. After
you get through putting them IN, place
something on them to keep theln under
the liquid, and take out as you may
wish to use them. Can use them as you
would tomatoes fresh from the vine.
This will not fail if your vinegar is pure
and diluted according to directions. 1t
is highly probable that cncumbers might
be preserved in the same way, selecting
those of medium size and leaving on the
stem.
CANNING GRAPEs.-Concords are best
for this purpose. Cook the pulps thor
oughly, strain in colander or sieve to re-
move seeds. then boil the pulp and skin
together one-half to three-quarters of an
hour, not less, adding sugarto taste. Use
ordinary stone jars, filing full; smear
the top of the jar with hot wax made of
equal parts of rosln and tallow; then
stretch over the top new cotton sheeting
tying around the jar about an inch or
two from the top with a cord wound
around several times; then cover the
cloth on top with a layer of melted wax,
and set in a cool place: will keep until
the next summer. For grape jelly

Tile Worlds Coolest Places.
From the London Pail Mall Gazette.

The coolest place or the earth is not as
has hitherto been believed by meteorolog-
lists, Iakutsk, in Siberia, mt yerkoyansk,
in tie same region, lying it 81 IL degrees
north latitude, on the river Yana. Its low
est mean winter temperature is 1876 de-
grees below zero contigrade. This then, is
the cold pole of the earth in Asia. The cor
responding poleiu America being to the nor h
west of the Parry Islands; and the line adj
joining these two places does not pass
through the North Pole itself, whichis thus,
in all probability, outside the line of great
est cold. 1t is noteworthy that Yerkoy-
ansk, like Yakutsk, is on the mainland, a
considerable distance from the Siberian
coast, which possesses a comparatively
milder climate. The recent Schwatka
Franklin search expedition, however, found
that in the neighborhood Of the back river
the mean winter temperature is not far be-
hind hat of Verkoyansk; Of course, the
minimize of both places reach a much lower
figure. 1t is well known that in the tropics,
on the other hand, the greatest heat is not
at the equator, but at some distance north
and south Of it.

watering Plants in Sunshine.

A widely accepted but very erroneous
belief, which is a cause OF much loss
during summer heats, is the fear that if
plants are watered while the sun shines
upon the leaves it will harm them.
There may be some tender young leaves
Of certain delicate and rare plants that
would suffer from a sudden wetting of
cold water under a blazing sun, but l
have not met with such in vegetable
culture, and I have long practiced fire.
quent sprinkling of newly set plants
during hot, dry Weather to prevent
their beginning to wilt. If allowed to
wilt at all it is difficult to revive them.
The short or broken roots want little
water until their wounds are healed and
they become able to collect and send on
supplies to the leaves. During this
term of trial what is wanted is frequent
sprinkling Of the leaves TO prevent their
tagging. A mere sprinkle serve that
purpose if often enough given, without
drowning the injured roots. Two great
advantages are gained by this frequent
leaf wetting-four or five times a day in
hot, dry weather, during two or three
days alter transplanting-one that the
planting can be done while the ground
is dry and pliable when it will not pack,
s.Hd the other that the leaves can all be
left on the plant instead ofall being halt
cut off, as is commonly done in planting
cabbage, celery, ETC., to reduce the
transpiratory surface until the roots re-
cover. Such cutting in is a great draw
back to the plant, and can only be justi-
fed when there is no other practical
way of saving or continuing its life

comparison. She is neither so becom-

nor so neatly shod; and, above all, she
seems to be ignorant of the resources
