Mr.. and Mrs. Coe returned from
their eastern trip on Saturday. They
look as if tho journey had not hurt
them.
Mrs. Foster, of Racine, is the guest
of Mrs f. Holister.
Mrs. Boyd returned to her home at
Rockford on Saturday last.
Miss Jones, of Racine, is visiting

Bristol boys are scattered abroad in
the world, but they come back ut

Quite a crowd of Bristol folks went
to Kenosha on the 9Th to attend the
memorial exercises of Gen. Grant,
although it rained very heavily at
car time, and many more would have
gone if it had been fine day.
Mr.. Farr and wife, of Kenoslia, are
enjoying the pure air and balmy breezes
of Bristol at the house of r. T. Roberts.
The young folks Bible reading was
held with Mr.. Henry Blackman on
Sunday last, and was well attended.
A lady over south, remembering that
her husbands birthday would be on
the 9Th inst, concluded to give him
a surprise. so the berries and ice cream
were ordered and few friends were
invited, but all secretly, so her good
man would have surprise. So Mr..

$1.00 PRESER WING RECIPE FOR
5000.

Many of our readers have seen at the
fairs, and in the hands of travelling
agents" fine samples of preserved
fruit, with offers to sell the secret" for a
certain price, usually $1.00; but so many
lnjunctions of secrecy are made that the
buyers feel obliged to keep it so. In
most cases these vendors have got their
secret for a dollar, and printed it on slips
costing ten for cent, which they pro-
coed to sell according as they eight up
ON customers" that IS, for all they can
get. We have known $40 to $40 a day
taken In at fair in this way There is
good reason to suppose thai all these
recipes are one and the same thing, es-
sentially, some vendors putting in various
mixtures of useless other materials for
show. Our Champaign correspondent
alluded to two of these recipes in the
Prairie Farmer of July Is. Mrs. F. c..
Johnson, Of Winnebago Co., ILL.,, writes
us that she has one of the recipes which
has proved effective, and she knows of
no obligation to withhold it from the
Housekeeper's Improvement Club, and
other Housekeeping readers of the
Prairie Farmer.
salicylic acid is sold by most druggists
at % cents an ounce, and half an ounce
goes great ways in preserving, as there
are 1879 grains in a single ounce. Mrs.
Johnson's directions are Into one
quart Tor each quartz of soft water put
thirty (3O) grains of salicylic acid and
SIX ounces of white sugar boil until dis
solved, and partly cool. Prepare the
fruit just as if to be canned. Then with
out cooking the fruit at all, fill jars or
bottles of any kind with it. Then pour
In the salicylic and sugar solution until
all the spaces in the fruit are filled up to
the top of the jars. Cork or cover in
any way to keep out dust, and set away
just as if canned. Mrs. Johnson saws
she has now cherries, blackberlies and
raspberries put up thus last year, all of
which are in state of perfect preserva-
ton. This year she put up strawberries
in the same manner. It is probably
Just as applicable to peaches, plums, etc.
The small quantity of salicylic acid can
not be harmful, IL grains to the quart Of

consume over 2 or 3grains of the acid if
the liquid was taken. Salicylic acid
was first made from Salicin obtained
from the willow bark (salixl, but is now
produced by chemical processes, we be-
lieve. 1t acts somewhat like quinine,
but is given in much larger doses-often
5O to 100 grains day. We shall try
this method the present season, and re-
port the result after the fruit has stood
6 OR s months, and in time for next
year. We recommend our housekeep-
ers generally to do the same, on a small
scale, and let us know their experience
for the benefit of others. In the mean
time save the dollars that might have
been paid for the recipe they can go
toward renewing subscriptions for next

Lembke did not know exactly where the

They, apparently, knew all about it and

to the right road, they led him to a lone

demanded his money and yaluables.
Lembke showed fight and knocked one

GRANT MEMORIAL SER VICES.

Notwithstanding the rain on Saturday,
a large number of the people of this city
and county assembled at Simmons Hall
in the afternoon and marched to st.
Matthews church, where the memorial
exercises were held. The church, which
was draped with black, was filled to its
full capacity, and many were unable to

ASSUMPTIONS.

To the sensitive soul there can come
no deeper pain than the consciousness
that to pure endeavor is generally
often, not always purposely, ascribed a
lower if not the lowest aim. The

own painful experience. real or imagin-
airy, the better to illustrate the truth
of a principle dear to him, because he
considers it helpful to the world, with
out consciousness of magnifying or
attracting attention to his own littls
hurt. The Philosopher may suppose
special cases. in order that his general
deductions may be better understood.
The Poet, using his imagination, may
personate characters and beliefs en-.
tirely foreign to his own; but woe be
to any one Of this number if literal
interpreter is at hand, longing for
sensation, or one too obtuse in per-
ception to read his meaning. A young
minister during sermon, wishing to
illustrate the results of wrong-doing,
made use of a familiar comparison.
After quite a display of rhetoric, he
closed with these words: 81 hold my
hand in the fire and nothing can pre-
vent the smarting that follows or the
scar that remains" AT the close of
the service, a kind old lady approached
him and said, 1--WE got the best salve

The Italian government has just pub
lished an official report of the cholera
epidemic of last year. Eight hundred
and sixty-three communes, with popu-
lation of 5,771,000, or about one-ffth of
the kingdom, were visited by the
scourge 25,587 cases were reported,
14,198 of which terminated fatally, q
mortality of about 60 per cent. In
Naples, with a population of $4,000,
there were 1927 cases and 1868 deaths.
The disease has not yet appeared in
Italy, this season, but there is abundance
of time for it to do so. 1t is following,
thus far, the same path in Spain and
southern France that it took last year,
and the constant inter-communication
between Mediterranean ports renders it
quite probable that the contagion will
recover very nearly the same ground.
The Paris and London authorities have
taken elaborate sanitary precautions
against a visitation, and strong hope is
now entertained that it may be avoided.

An ex-State prison convict, who was
released few months ago from Wau-
pun, stole horse and buggy from Wau-
pun on the 31st ult., and drove them to
Hiram Ferry's, near the State line, in
two days. He left them there and went
to Chicago. The owner of the horse
came after him, but the animal was so
badly used up that he was not able to
take him home. Sheriff Wilson went to
Waupun last week and got a description
of the thief and his history, but has not
been able to find him.

GRANT AND HIS TROOPS

From an anecdotal and reminiscent
article On Grant by General Badeau, in
the May CENTURY, we quote the follow
ing: " His relations with the troops
We're peculiar. He never made speech
es to the soldiers, and of course never
led them himself into battle after he as
sumed his high commands. But in
every battle they saw him once or twice
far to the front, as exposed as they for
there always seemed to come time in
each engagement when he was unwilling
to use the eyes and ears Of another, but
must observe for himself in order to de-
termine. The soldiers saw all this they
knew, too, that when he rode around in
camp 1t meant action, and the sight of
his blue overcoat, exactly like their own,
was signal to prepare for battle. They
found out his character and respected
his qualities. They felt that he meant
well, although when the time came he
spared them not, for the cause Thus,
though SO undemonstrative, he awoke a
genuine enthusiasm. After the battle
OF the Wilderness he rode at night along
the road where Hancock's veterans lay
and when the men discovered it was
Grant, and that his face was turned to-
ward Richmond, they knew in mo-
nlent they were not to retire across the
Rapldan as SO often before and they
rose In the darkness and cheered until
the enemy thought it was night attack
and came out and opened fire. When
the works were carried at Petersburg
their enthusiasm was of course unbound
ed and whenever they caught 9
glimpse of him in the Appomattox cam.
paign, the cheers were vociferous. After
the surrender of Lee they began without
orders to salute him with cannon, but
he directed the firing to cease, lest il
should wound the feelings of the prison
ers, who, he said, were once again oul
countrymen.
/ This sentiment he retained. Soor
after the close of the war was presen

l. Our wool market has continued active
and strong. The improving prospects in
the WOODEN goods markets, promising a
good demand for woolens this fall and
winter, has encouraged manufacturers
and others to buy more freely of the raw
material at current prices. This has
developed the opinion, which is now
general IN the trade, that wool values
have touched bottom and have made a
turn Tor the better and has also, it is
reported, lead to the purchase and hold
Ing OF considerable amounts of wool on
speculation. Whether much further

which we are now getting, viii be realiz-

largely on the course of the wooden goods

considered an open question. The gen.
eral condition of the country, while
prosperous, and promising well, can
hardly be considered favorable for any
large additions to cost, but the outlook
fayors q good steady trade at strong and
gradually improving prices.
Receipts on our market are now light
and offerings are moderate. Bright
woods of Ind, Ills, Mich, Wis, Iowa.
ETC., are in very light supply. We have
none OF account. Our usual order trade
Tor such will call for considerable

The Territory woods have sold well. The |

1t IS a common remark of Eastern
dealers that we are getting as much for

CLEANLINESS IN MILKING.

To insist on cleanliness in every opera

while indulging occasionally in little
departure from it. The old adage.
7" Cleanliness is next to godliness,'' is no
where more strictly applicable than to
the dairyman who handles milk and
makes butter and cheese. The dairy
man owes it to the public, as well as to
his own pockets, to exercise extreme
care In handling his product, as much
SO as the apothecary, who handles medi-
cines, where slight inattention may en-
tail serious results. His attention to
cleanliness must begin in the cow-house
and with the milking. The cow-house
itself must be kept clear of accumula-
tons of steaming manure, the odor of
which the milk would quickly absorb,
and the ventilation of the house must
be such as to keep the atmosphere
sweet and wholesome. The milking-pail
must be examined before each milking,
to see that it is perfectly free from i'm
purity or dust which may have found it's
way in since it was scalded after the last

The scrupulous attention to the cleanii-
