Facts Concerning Fruit Evaporation

From the American Garden we take
the following:
In any process of evaporation the
great desideratum is the application
of intense heat in the first stage of
drying, except in the case of grapes
and similar fruits, where extreme
heat would burst the skin and allow
the juice to flow @ut-as the great
heat viii, by affecting the outer sur
face of the substance, form an i'm
penetrable external coating, thus re.
tanning the flavor and other desirable
qualities of the fruit.
The best argument, and indeed the
only proper one, is to subject the
material to a continuous current of
hot air. This current cannot be made
hot enough to scorch or burn the fruit,
if it is kept in brisk notion but let
it become staguant for a short time
and the product will undoubtedly be
ruined by the intense heat.
Raspberries we have found TO be
very profitable, as three quarts of the
fresh fruit yield one pound of the
evaporated and this has a ready sale
at 81 cents per pound. So, in case the
market price for fresh berries is down,
it is an easy matter to put them in
such shape that we can command
better figures.
Corn, properly evaporated, makes a
dish fully equal to that just cut from
the cob, at cost of about b cents per
pound. Half a pound is sufficient ior
a family meal.
Pumpkins also make a good article,
when evaporated, fully equal to
fresh ones for making pies, thus ex-
tending the pie season throughout the
entire year.
Many other fruits and vegetables
which can readily be dried, have not
yet taken place in the market, or
are not known in this condition TO
commerce. Among those are dried

Ayalanches of the Alps.
Cor. San Franclsee Chronicle.

The natives hereabouts know very
little about avalanches; on the north
ern slopes of the Al ps and in the val
leys they know all about them. They
say that the drifting SHOWS, or poud-
reuseS, though often bulky enough
when avalauched to cover a whole
village, seldom commit any great
havoc. The tread of a chamoS is
sometimes enough to set them in mo
ton. Neither do the glacial avalanches
commit important damages. These
latter are formed By masses of ice de-
tached from the glaciers and falling
down precipltous places, which, of
course, are, for the most part, pnin-
habited The sliding avalanche is
another species of the phenomenon.
This is mass of snow descending
slowly down the sides of a mountain.
Its march is irresistible, but it is rarely
destructive. 1t is the rolling avail
anche that invokes the terror of the
Swiss mountaineer. This consists of
vast mass of packed snow, detached
from the sleeper mountain sides by
the action of the spring thaws. As
such masses descend they increase in
bulk, hardness, and velocity, and &C
quire such an impetus as TO cut away
the rocks, corr gate the slopes of the
valley, and tear up or smash every
object they may encounter below.
They are shrouded cars of Jugger-
naut, said .ny Rhetian friend and in
formant, "and under their wheels
there is naught but death"

The Farm and Garden remarks

the old Apple Orchard
There may be muck romance about
the ''old oaken bucket" but "the old
apple orchard" of our childhood's
home is still more deserving of loving
remembrance in song and story.
There is a great deal left out of the
home membranes of those country
children who had no such possession,

much wanting also in their moral
training. 1t would be hard to inn
press on them the command thou

might possible, also be hard to resist
the temptation to break another kind

will bind them to the old spot in later
years; it is worth cultivating for this
if for nothing else. There is scarcely

fifty years. There will be an interest
in watching their growth and develop

Romance in Real Life.
Pittsburg Dispatch.

Mr.. David Gentle, a farmer of
Fairfax County, Va, is visiting his
widowed mother, Mrs. Anna Gentle,
at Annapolis, after separation of
thirty-one years, during which he
had lost an arm ia battle. The meet
ing between mother and son was
quite affecting. Each had thought
the other dead until short time ago,
when letter from the son brought
the gladstone tidings to the mother
that her only child was living, and
led to the happy reunion. The long
separation presents pleasant little
romance. Thirty-one years ago Mrs.
Gentle lost her husband David was
then an infant. They lived in Wash
ington. When II years old the boy
was put TO work on a farm in Fair
fax County, the mother remaining in
Washington to support herself as best
she could. David remained on the
farm six years He then went to an
other farm in Loudoun County, ia
the same State. and remained there
two years He liked farming, and
his employers always spoke of him as
an industrious youth. At the begin
ming of the civil war, at the age of 20
years, young Gentle threw down his
farming implements and entered a
Virginia regiment in the Confederate
army. He lost an arm at the battle
OF Petersburg, after which be was dls-
charged. Becoming married in 1866,
he settled down to farming in Fairfax
County and acquired fair livelihood
and has been living in that locality
ever since Mr.. Gentle had believed
his mother dead, but his wife, he said,
had often remarked that he would
find her some time. He never ex-
pected to do so, however, and probab-
lY never would have known of her
existence but for the intervention of a
lady. Two years ago this lady, who
knew his mother, in travelling through
Virginia heard the name of Gentle
mentioned in a railroad car. APP
preaching the party addressed she
questioned him about his parents,
and became satisfied that she had dis
covered the lost son, told him where
he would likely find his mother. She
said Mrs Gentle, who had a son
David, lived in Washington few
years previous, and promised to make
inquiries about her and to let the son
hear from her when she returned.
The lady went to Europe and
remained year, and returning to
Washington, learned that Mrs. Gentle
had moved to Annapolis, and so in
formed the son when she next met
him. David had recognized her on
the street on her second visit, and
going up to her asked if she had ascer-
tanned the definite whereabouts of his
parent. On learning that she was
living at Annapolis, without a mo-
ment's delay the son wrote to her,
propounding certain questions to
establish the relationship which he
knew only his mother could answer
satisfactorily. In few days the well
come answer came from the mother,
containing endearing messages of love
and requesting him to come to her,
which he did at the first opportunity.
Mrs. Gentle is IS years old and her
son A. The mother has been invited
to spend the balance of her days on a
pleasant little farm in old Virginia
and share the Inequalities of the
place with daughter-in-law and an
only grandchild, and she will probab-
ly accept.
