Catching a Farm in a Flood.


GulIford Special.
r. Nj. Robinson was in town to-day to buy a
boiler and engine, with which to run II small
grist-mill on the Whitewater, a small stream
which empties into the Miami. Mr.. Robinson
tells a queer story of the loss of the water
power by which the mill was originally oper-
ated. The mill-site consisted of ten acres of
stony land, wholly unproductive, and of no
value except as a site for the mill, the power be-
ing obtained from a large dam which was fed by
the Whitewater. The entire valley for miles,
with the exception of these ten barren acres, is
a garden spot. The soil is as rich as any in the
Miami bottom.
"The recent rains" said Mr.. Robinson, "did
great damage UhrOug liOut Indiana. After the
food receded we found that our mil-dam was
filled level with rich Soil7 washed away from
the farms above us. There were, perhaps,
acres Of stony batter outside the dam, aud this
WAS also covered to the denth of five to ten feet
with the richest soil IN the valley. Altogether
we were the gamers by the flood to the extent
or ten acres OF good farming land. Ii we had
steam instead of water to drive our machinery
we would laugh at our loss. This is the first
time | ever heard OF any one catching a farm in
a Hood, eut we have caught one sure. 1t is
smaller than many others in the valley that are
making their owners rich. Our stony batter
Our new ten acres are just as valuable for truck
farming as some lands that have been sold there
recently for $400 an acre"
MT. Robinson believes his acquisition is a per-
manent one, SUCH n freshet may not occur
again in that stream in !. hundred years, and il
it should he re peated he believes his ten acres
Will, on account OF their location, gather much
more soil than they will lose.

The Pittsburg window-Glass Strike.

PITTsBURG, Dec. 1.-Since the inauguration of
the wIndow-glass strike, over 100, 1000 boxes of
glass have been i'm ported to this city. Five
years ago the annual foreign importation was
reduced from 900, 600 to 300, 900 boxes, but
the late strike has increased importation. Blow
ers and manufacturers express conflicting
views concerning this state of at
fairs. The blowers say the manu-
facUurers cannot afford to see the importa-
strikers and their association that it 1s better to
import than to produce at the present price and
cost. The strike is three months old to-day, with
prospects of settlement no brighter than when
the lOck-Ou was inaugurated. The conference
committees will meet again next Tuesday.

The following examples of the more COM
mon errors in the use of words are taken
from The Verbalist," by MIR. Alfred

founded.
Dangerous, for in danger, a sick man is
sometimes most absurdly said to be danger
Gus, when it is only meant that the poor
fellow is himselfin danger-a very different
thing.

To demean ones self is merely to behave
ones self, whether i'll or well.
Dirt, for earth or loan.

Household Recipes.

New METHOD OF PRESERvING.-Beat
well together equal quantities of honey
and spring water; pour it into an earthen
jar; into isput freshly-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 TOMATOES may be
kept almost any length of time and
come out as fresh as when first picked
by preserving in pure 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 tke LIQUID on them cold. After
you get through putting them IL, place
something on them TO keep ttetl 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 II your vinegar Is pure
and diluted according to directions. 1t
is mighty probable that cucumbers might
be preserved in the same way, selecting
those of medium size and leaving on the
stem.
CANNING GRAPES 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 sugar to taste. Use
ordinary stone jars, filling 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 cord wound
around several times; then cover the
cloth on top with a layer Of melted wax,
and set in cool place; will keep until
the next summer. For grape jelly
the grapes should not be quite ripe.
