and cheers. The body Of the audience would
stand, and, waving their hats, shout again
and again until some Of the phrases were re-
peated. Professor De Leor, of Columbia col
lege, also made a lively speech. Sanitary

Care Of Preserved Fruit.

Keeping fruit or any provision de-
ponds, according to writer in Vick'S
Magazine, on three things. 1t must be
acid change will develop ferment in a
kettle of fruit. Second, the jars or cans
must be alright. The object of steam
ing the fruit is to expel the air and ar
rest the change in the juice, which
would naturally proceed to ferment. Air
penetrates in finer ways than we can
discern, and needs much less than the
crevice Of hair or pins point to enter
and spoil the contents. Glass that is
free from cracks and air bubbles, we'll
glazed stoneware free from flaws, yellow
ware, dark earthen jars will keep the
fruit from the air, provided it is sealed
with wax, putty, or bladder, soaked and
left to shrink on the mouth of the Jars.
Cans with screw tops and rubber rings
are apt to have slight defects which pre-
vent perfect sealing, and can not be de-
pended on without wax.
Third, the Jars must be kept in dry,
dark, cold place, very little above freez-
ing. A shelf in a furnaee-warmed cellar
or stoneroom opening from a kitchen is
not the place to preserve fruit. 1T may
be put up in the BEST manner, and yet
spoil through keeping in the light, or
where it is not cool. Glass cans should
be wrapped in paper, buried in sand or
sawdust, or kept in dark closet. Pack
ed with plenty Of ehaA, oats. dry sand
or sawdust, or dry, sifted ashes, most
preserves will stand, freezing weather
without injury, but each can needs at
least six inches of non-conducting ma
terial about it on all sides for protection.
A pit on one side of the cellar, dug be-
low the reach of frost and lined with
boards, with straw or ashes between
them and its walls. will keep preserves
from heat or freezing. A pit dug In the
cellar, four feet below the level of its
floor, well drained and lined as above,
will prove the best place for keeping
small quantities Of preserves, enough for
single family.

exhausted, and we can no longer prevent
them from making an effort to adjust wages.
The operators refuse to talk about the cir
cular or as to what they will do.
