How To Judge Canned Goods.

a hint now about timed goods, meat
especially Note, when about to pur-
chase, the condition of the tin;if bulged
$outwards, don't have it, even as gift!
sWeWill explain the process Of canning,
to give weight to our warning.
The meat is packed in tins while raw,
then sealed, and cooked in an outer
vessel Of boiling water, with some,
times the addition of chemical to
raise the temperature When cooked,
the can is pierced, and as soon as the
air and steam have been expelled it ia
.soldered. Experts know when it is
ready for soldering; 4 moment too soon
and the mischief 4 is done. because, il
air is left in, the tin bulges, and the
meat will not be good. On the con.
5trary, if the tin has sunk, it is an in.
fallible sign Of goodness; it proves a
vacuum, which Is natural, as the meat
shrinks when no air is left in the tin.

Another caution, though !; always look
out for any little globnles Of solder that
sometimes find their way inside the tin;

A Mortar and PestIe Worked by Water
Power-''Mountain Dew"
But these unlettered sons of the noun
tains who are the manufacturers of illicit
whisky are not of the worst type of
criminals. They believe that they have
a right to do as they choose with their
own, and hence distill their corn instead
of hauling it over almost impossible
roads fifty or 100 miles away to market.
The moonshiner calls in his neighbors,
and with their aid and that of his wife
and sons and daughters there is soon
built rude structure now so common in
this mountain section, and popularity

fashioned well sweep is arranged on the
bank of the stream and poised on a full
crum. On the end of the beam furthest
from the brook is the mortar, large
enough to hold several bushels of malt,
and into this falls the huge pestle, a
three or four feet section of trees
trunk, some eight inches in diameter.
On the other end of the beam is bucket,
sufficiently large to hold water enough
to be heavier than the pestle, and this,
being in position to catch the diminutive
waterfall, gently presses downward when
full, and, bearing the pestle aloft, sinks
until it rests upon an incline plano,
where the water pours out, and the pes
tie falls, only to be pulled up again as
the bucket takes in water anew. This is
a sort of pestle that will beat and pound
away whether the moonshiner be with it
or, in fear of the coming of the officers
of the law, has hied himself away among
the higher hills.

A city Built Upon Wood.

San Francisco is, you might say, city
built almost entirely of wood. Very lit
tie brick or stone is used even for founda-
ton purposes and we find very many of
the finest residences and other buildings
set upon wooden posts, the intervening
space between the house and the ground
being ceiled up. The architecture has a
uniformity of appearance and is peculiar
to this coast alone, we never having seen
anything like it before in any of the
cities of the Union.
The dwellings are, as rule, set with
one end to the street, generally within a
few feet of the walk. With highly-orna-
mented front elevation carried up square
above the gable and with half-round or
square protruding bay-windows reaching
from the ground to the top of the build
ing, an exceedingly pretty and attractive
house is the result. The siding used is
uniformly about ten inches in width and
is known as drop-siding. The favorite
and prevailing color in paints is drab.
The public buildings and hotels as well
as the private residences, are mostly
built of wood, probably from the fact
largely that this is a country subject to
earthquake visitations, and it is undoubt-
eddy thought that houses constructed of
wood would not be so liable to tumble
about ones ears as would brick and NOR

western ocean. just or shore forty or
fifty rods or more several great jagged
conical boulders rise abruptly out of the
water to the height of from ten to thirty
feet, the largest of which is known as
Seal Rock" from the fact that ON its
sides and top may be seen at any time
score or more Of these animals in theiI
native state.
A seal is curious looking animal AMI
as clumsy and awkward mover it is a
complete success. Its locomotion is 10y
no means elegant or graceful, and in
order to gain Roadway it rears its head
two or three feet in the air and at the
same time throws itself back on its
launches and by suddenly dropping itself
forward, apparently on the under side of
its neck, it manages in some way to pull
itself along with a awkward hitch, at the
same time keeping its long neck wagging
up and down, but never for one moment
forgetting to keep up that everlasting
and unmelodious "quack, quack, quack."
This show is one of San Francisco's best
cards, as these animals in their wild state
are a genuine curiosity and they draw
great crowds daily to the spot Sportsmen
are forbidden to shoot them under the
severest penalties. This interesting place
is reached by means of a dummy rail-
way the trains of which make a round
trip every hour.-San Francisco Cor.

Albany, but if he is acquitted, as for lack
of sufficient evidence he is likely to be,
the moonshiner returns TO his remote
habitatiOn, and, far up among the pro-
tecting mountains, kindles again the
fires whose embers are scarcely cold. He
lives with small crops and large family,
with little information and many wants,
with the least of ambitions and soundest
of appetites, until he passes away and
sleeps with his fathers under the shadow
of the mountains where he first saw tho
light, and where his uneventful days
have been spent.-Chicago Herald.

Gardens Of one Luxembourr.

The magnifcence of the historic
palaces of France has been wonderfully
diminished of late years, and their ex-
tensive parks and gardens, now nc
longer for the exclusive enjoyment OF
those of royal station or aristocratic
birth, have been greatly curtailed. In
the gardens of the Luxembourg there
are now comparatively few relics of its
former grandeur, but among these is the
grotto of Marie de Medici, built some $50
years ago. 1t is a broad basin, where
the ladies of the court were wont to go
and battle, and though everywhere sur
rounded by trees forms itself a sunny
space that seems hewn out of the forest,
the surrounding trees having formerly
been kept trimmed and clipped above.
The fountain and the highly ornamented
miniature temple or arcade, the costly
sculptures and the collections of rare
flowers, make up picture to delight the
senses, and almost imperceptibly lead
the imagination to conjure up the APP
pearance of the brilliant throngs for
whose enjoyment such lavish expenditure
was made during the whole reign of
Louis XIV.-Scientific American.

Six Styles of Base Bali Delivery.

According to Hecker, there are six dis
tinct styles of delivery outside of STRAIT
egy. They are the straight delivery,
out-curve, in-curve, high in-curve, rising
ball, and drop ball. The stragetic part,
however, further divides these six classes
into many different shoots, A straight
ball can be thrown, for instance, in sew
eraI ways so as to deceive the batsman.
This is done by ranging the speed from
swift to slow or medium ball, or by a
deceptive move of the arm. Then, again,
either of the various curves can likewise
be gagged from a short quick to long
stride, or a slow or swift curve, either
being resorted to as means of deceiving
the hatsman.-Philadelph Press.
