DOMESTIC.

A VERY important thing in the pre-
serving OF fruits IN syrup is TO have the
latter of the proper strength. Sugar.
We know, ferments readily. but only
when dissolved iu sufficient quantity
of water. When the quantity Is
just sufficient to render it a strong
syrup 1t will not fsrmsnt at all. The
right degree of strength for the pre-
serving of fruits, so that there may be
neither fermentation nor crystalliza.
ton. may be obtained by dissolving
double refined sugar in water in the
proportion of two parts of sugar to one
of water and boiling it little. The
degree thus obtained, which is the
proper one for the preserving Of fruits,
is technically known as smooth, In
preserving fruit whole 1t is necessary
that this syrup should penetrate every
portion of it; therefore, to aid this, the
fruit should first be blanched before it
is boiled in the syrup.

HUMOROUS.

A GENTLEMAN on East Fourth street
found ragged tramp sitting ON his
front steps eating his lunch.
"Herel What are you dong the-e?'
he shouted.
"Psrtakmg of slight lunch. Will
you join me?" the tramp politely Ie
sponded.
mo, l don't want any OF your villa
inous feed"
''That's SO; it as pretty tough kind
OF fodder. l just got it out of your
kitchen. Your wife must be- doing her
own cooking now."
whats that, you Internal hound?"
exclaimed the angry man, starting
toward the tramp, still sitting quietly
on the step.
Don't get excited. Think minute.
Aren't you mistaken in calling me a
hound?"
mo I'm not, and I'll"
''But, my. dear sir, you are mistaken.
l am no hound, I'm setter"
The gentleman gszed at the tramp
in admiration, and mutterlng some
thing about a newspaper parsgrapher
gone astray, he left him to finish his
lunch.

Blondes Out of Fashion.

''The brunettes are up in the scale of
fashion and the blondes are down, that )
certain. Figures won't lie you know,
and here are the figures, said a we'll
known physician yesterday afternoon,
as he opened his desk and took out a
little roll of paper closely covered with
writing Now" lie continued with
a laugh: Perhaps it's not a matter of
any consequence whether blondes or bru-
nettes are the style, but just TO settle
the question | took the trouble to go
Into the subject from Il statistical point
Of view.
in the first place peeped into over
300 novels and stories, all written with
in two years. You shall have the ex-
act figures: 327 stories examined as To
heroines being light or dark; result 2S9
brunettes, % blondes; of 133 poems
selected out of papers and magazines
since January, 1852, 70 of the heroines
were dark and 90 golden-haired.
Though there was no doubt now
left III 10y mind as to which STYLE was
the most popular, l took the trouble 10
make personal count at the Academy
as the people danced about at the char
ity ball, and found that a good many
more brunetteS than blondes hal part
nerS, and personal observations dIsclOs-
ed the fact that the same was the case
at both the StoddaTd and Star course
lectures, and on the street after the
matinees were out"
But" said the listener, ''if the
proportion of dark haired women Is
greater than that of light-haired, il
follows, of course, that they should
figure more prominently in the stats
ties"
''Ah, yes, if that were so; but il IS
not, und statistics show that there are
just about as many blondes as brunettes.
No, there is no doubt about IT; the
brunettes have the call at present and
have had 1t for some time.n
We'll, Doctor, may | use your fir-

the subject, and, as am a bachelor. |

"DR. MOCosH Is celebrated for ego
tism, and the best Of it is he is never
conscious of it. He has broad Scotch
accent, and the habit of gnawing at
the joint of the thumb when busily
thinking. Some years ago he was
lecturing before the senior class in
Princeton College. He had been dis
cussing Leibnitz's view of the reason
of evil to the effect that mankind was
put upon the earth because there was
less evil here than elsewhere. One of
tue seniors inquired: "Well, Doctor,
why was evil introduced into the world?"
'Ah," said the doctor, holding up
both hands, ye have asked the hardest
question in all Philosophy. Suckkrates
tried to answer it and failed; Plato
tired it, and he failed; Kahnt attempt
ed il and made bad work of it; Leib-
mtz tried 1t, and he begged the whole
question, as I've been teliin' ye; aud l

summer Travel.

Summer travel of late years mas
grown to such proportions as To DEMAND
a literature of its own. In oruer 10
supply this demand our grand trunk
railway companies have prepared manu-
some volumes, not only attractive as
works of art but a constant surprise 10
those who study their contents. LoHs
lines of excursions are planned ana
marked out whereby, at very moderate
charges, the tourist can strike many
summer resorts in the East such as the
White, Catskill aud Allegheny noun
tains, Niagara and Trenton Falls, the
st. Lawrence River and the great Lakes,
the Springs at Saratoga, Bedford, Rich
field and through Virginia, or NAV
cross the Continent To the shores OF
the Pacific and revel amid the attrac-
tions of the Yosemite and the Garden
of the Gods. One may live upon the
rail in palaces with every facility for
eating, sleeping and comfort which the
Americans know so well how to supply
and in which they surpass all other
nations.
But our great railroads cater not
for the rich alone but for those of mod
crate means as we'll. Within the com
pass of few hundred miles OF our barge
cities, are attractions fully equal to
those that greet the vision of the for
eign tourist. III the resident of the
Middle States would visit the sea shore,
there are scores of watering places
stretching from Cape May to Seahright
along the coast of JERSEY and the cosmo-
pOlitsn COney Island. Swift and COM
mOdious steamers traverse the rivers In
all directions and convey their passen-
gers to shaded inlets aud islands.
Reaching from Philadelphia in all di-
rections We have lines passing through
the finest scenery in the world, and Hned
with country-seats costing from $4,000
to 500, 900. Further ON there Is no end
may be made. There are the coal re-
giOns, tue section from which our |
wealth of petroleum is obtained, the |
Delaware Water Gap, Cresson Springs, |
Mauch Chunk with its Glens and |
Gravity r. r.; Watkins Glen, Gettys |
burg, the Luray Caves, Minnequa
Springs; in brief all the beauties of
Lake and River.
If We were called on to select one
spot which for grandeur of scenery and
for the display of engineering skill ex-
eeeded all Others We should specify the
Bells Gap Railroad, which starting at
Bells Mills on the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, threads its upward way ON the
nountain-side, over gorges and torrents
and trestles, around sharp curves, up
steep inclines, the grade being some
lines 10 feet per mile, until the SUM
nit is reached and Rhododendron Park
aid out and equipped as ground for
)lc-nics.
Space forbids more exhaustive
statement of points of interest. but
'nough has been given to demonstrate
hat our facilities for travel are not
Ireat monopolies but furnish, to the
Taveling public at least, full equiya-
ent for the patronage they receive.
