A Fruit Evaporating and Canning Els
Establishment.

Shelbyville Gazette.
Mr.. J. G. Akin, proprietor of the
Evans House, has erected and has in
full operation an extensive fruit evap>
Grating and canning establishment.
The main room, or, more properly, the
evapOrating room, is 20x30 feet, in
which is arranged the tables and other
necessary fixtures. The canning room
is 12x50 feet and contains the boiler,
water tanks, etc. The capacity of the
evaporation is from 60 to rs bushels of
peaches or 100 bushels of apples every
"a hours, and from 500 to 900 gallon
cans of fruit every Y hours. Mr.. Akin
also has vinegar generator, in which
he uses the Feelings and cores of the
evaporated fruit in manufacturing an
excellent article of vinegar, Beside:
this he operates large cider mill.
Everything is kept clean and tidy, and
we trust it will be literally patronized
by the farmers Of our county.
Evaporated fruitgenerally commands
about double the price of fruit dried by
the old process. This fact is worthy
of their attention and consideration
To the many extensive fruit grower
of our county we would suggest tina
they pay a visit to this establishment
for we believe it can be made sourc
of much profit to them.

james, the eldest, was at one time en-.

to break off the engagement. When her
marriage with young Mr.. Corcoran,
nephew of the banker, was arranged,
Clay sent him word that the ceremony
should never occur. So fearful was
Miss Beck of some tragedy at the
church that when she arrived at the door
she did not wait to have her wraps
thrown around her, but nervously

etables to stand In the tin can. Never
stir anything in tin, or II you do so,
use wooden spoon. In lifting pies
or cakes from bright tin pans, use
great caution that the knife does not
scrope off Aecks of the bright metal.
Never make tea in tin pot. The
tannin, which is acid attacks the tin

Never use water that has stood in a
lead pipe over night. Not less than a
wooden buckettul should be allowed to

Never use water from stone reser-

Never allow fresh meat to remain in

Never keep sugar or yeast in stone
crooks or jugs; their acid attacks the

All cooking utensils, including iron
pots, should be rinsed after washing,

Reading Habits.

Novel.reading, ifindulged in system.
atically, will almost ineviF'ssf6fFi9 result In
the requirement Of many false ideas Of
life. Love is unduly magniied us the
sole aim and end of life, in books Of this
class, The homely duties and aims Of
common life appear dull and distasteful
to the habitual novel.reader, who is al.
ways expecting and longing for some
wonderful and romantic event to hap.
pen, which will cast rose.colored glow
over all things. The highest aspirations
of the novel reader are directed toward
something vague and Uniformed in the
future, and there s dangerous inclina.
ton toward an oyerbalance on the side
of feeling and sentiment.
But there are novels, aud novels. And
the celebrated and great novels are by
far the most entertaining to the ordinary
reader whose early education has not
been neglected, and whose mind has
not been warped by reading only of
sentiment and unhappy romance. 1t
is not advisable to force children to
read only that which is solid and In
structive, but they should not be per-
mitted to choose their lighter reading
without counsel and advice from those
who are competent to give it. Books
that are worth reading are generally
worth reading again. Those which
overflow with profound and beautiful
Thought, and are replete with solid in.
struction, should be in every mans
library, if he can afford to buy them,
and thus be easily accessible to hi:
children.
But in children good habits of read
ing can be cultivated. They can b.
taught how to read and what to read
Their young, uniformed, impressiblt
minds can be led up to high plane
in which they will find enjoyment a
we'll as gain useful knowledge. ALLOW
child's mind to become vitiated BY
reading anything and everything, ant
his education will never amount t,
much. After reading tales of bloo'
and thunder, pirate life and forest ad
ventures, he will find history and biog
raphy tame, and solid reading will be
come task and not a pleasure.

Some Facts About Food.

The Cincinnati Enquirer offers the
following advice on an important sub.
ject:
1t is plainly seen by an inquiring
mind that, aside from the selection and
preparation of food, there are many lit
tie things constantly arising in the ex-
perience of everyday life which, in their
combined effect, are powerful agents in
the formation, or prevention, ofperfect
health. A careful observance of these
little occurrences, and inquiry into the
philosophy attending them, lies within
the province, and indeed should be COM
sidered among the highest duties Of
every housekeeper.
Milk when swallowed rapidly by the
glassful is very unwholesome. A guam
tity of it entering the stomach at once
is changed from fluid by the acid
juices Of that organ into hard cheesy
curd, though which the gastric juice
cannot pass; it is turned over and over,
and, as only its surface can be reached,
it digests very slowly. 1t Is sometimes
fatal to q weak stomach. 1t should be
taken slowly, eaten with something
else, or slipped by the spoonful.
Eggs should be cooked either very
soft, or so hard as to be easily crum>
bled to a powder. The intermediate
stage is tOughening to the albumen, and
renders it insoluble to the gastric juice;
these insoluble portions are often de-
layed in the stomach or intestines un.
til they putrefy, and the sulphuretted
hydrogen and ammonia evolved become
poisonous to the intestinal canal"
The same authority says that "fesh
food in the form of croquets; passes rap.
!. idly through the stomach without be,
ing dissolved by the gastric juice; but
meat when taken in large pieces, is en-.
tirely digested."
Drinking very cold water near the
time of a meal arrests the process of di.
gestion until the temperature of the
stomach, which has been reduced, is re,
, stored to its normal state. Too much
fluid dilutes the gastric juice, and has
to be absorbed before digestion can &C
on.

Rice CroQuettes.

Thoroughly wash half pint of rice;
boil it in pint of milk for thirty min>
utes; whip into the hot rice two ounces
of butter, two ounces Of sugar, salt, and
the yelks of two eggs. If the batter
is too stiff, add a little mole milk.
When cold roll it into neat balls, corks
or cones, which should be dipped into
beaten egg, rolled in fine bread or
cracker crumbs, and fried the same as
