THE HOUSEHOLD.
PLUM JAM,

Let your fruit be dry and free from
leaves and stalk. Take equal quantities
of plums and sugar, but into a clean
vessel and boil one hour, stirring it
thoroughly. Damsons prepared the same
way are very good. Care must be taken
when cold to cover all preserves closely
and stand in cool dry place.

sTEWED APPLES WITH RICE.

Scoop out the cores and peel some
fine russell apples and stew them in clari-
fed sugar. Boil some rice in milk with a
pinch of salt, few strips of lemon peel
and sugar enough to sweeten it. Leave
on the fire until the rice is quite soft
and has absorbed nearly all the milk;
remove the lemon peel and place in a
dish; arrange the stewed apples on the
rice and put in the oven until it is Of
apretty golden color.
C1CoOKING ONIONS.
Different methods are recommended.
Boiling in two waters we'll sailed, Or let
ting them lie in cold water, is thought to
be effective. Boiling in milk used to be
thought to be the best way of removing
the rank flavor, but the onions we are
able to purchase now, even in this coun-
try, are not so strong in odor or taste as
was the onion of our fathers. The Ber-
muda the ideal onion of the Spanish,
needs nothing beyond boiling it in two
waters.

Zero" and "FaI,r."

Zero on the common Thermometer,
like the fanciful names Of the constel-
lations, is an instance of the way wise
mems errors are made immortal by be-
coming popular Zero comes to us
through Spanish from the Arabic, and
means empty, hence nothing. Ia an
expression like CO. Fahr.," " the abbre
Walton "Fahr." stands for Fahrenheit,
a Prussian merchant of Dantzic. on the
shores of the Baltic Sea. His full name
was Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit. From
a boy he was a close observer Of nature
and, when only 10 years of age, ID the
remarkably cold Winter of 1863, he ex-
perimented with snow and salt to-
gether, and noticed that it produced a
degree of cold equal to the coolest day
of that year. As that day was the
coldest the oldest inhabitant could re-
member, Gabriel was the more struck
with the coincidence of his little scien-
tifc discovery, and hastily concluded
that he had discovered the lowest de-
gree, of temperature known to the
world, either natural or scientific. He
called that degree 'zero," and con-.
structed thermometer, or ruled
weather glass, with a scale graduated
up from zero to the boiling point,
which he numbered 2l2, and the freez-
ing point 80, because, as he thought,
mercury contracted the thirty-second
OF its volume on being cooled down
from the temperature of boiling water
to zero, and expanded the lS0th on
being heated from the freezing to the
boiling point. ATLANTA Constitution.

Agricultural Notes.

Where sheep are kept in filthy
places they will become infested with
maggots.
1t is not yet too late to plant some
kinds of vegetables for late crops as a
succession to those that were early.
If your rutabagas are not yet in
lose no time in sowing, Use plenty
of seed in order to allow for the fly,
which is usually very destructive.
The best hogs for farmers use are
those produced by crossing pure-bred
boars on large coarse sows. The pure
breeds are not hardy enough for gen.
eral purposes.
Rye land should be plowed early, 80
as to allow the sod or stubble to de-
compse, If plowed again before the
rye is seeded the crop will be largely
benefited thereby.
Keep the strawberry runners pinched
off and manure well if you wish large
berries next year. No grass or weeds
must be allowed among them, and fire.
quent cultivation should be bestowed.
Keep carbolic acid always convent
ent for use. 1t is one of the best dis
infectants, insect destroyer and vermin
eradicators that can be used. A small
quantity need only be applied at a
time

Pasteur's Method.

Ever since DR.. Motifs return from
Paris, where he investigated Pasteur's
method of protection, the experiments
of the faculty of the institute have
been watched with great interest by
the medical profession. Dr. Mott
broght over with him a rabbit that
had been inoculated by Pasteur. The
animal died on the voyage and the
spinal marrow was carefully preserved
and used in perpetuating the disease.
AT first the doctor experienced great
difficulty in securing regular Sc
quenco of deaths, and it was feared
that the virus would become exhausted.
But finally he succeeded in producing
a death daily and thus procured virus
of graded strength Several boys who
have been bitten by supposed mad
dogs within the last month, have anx.
iously waited for the summons to pre-
sent themselves at the Pasteur institute
for innoculation. The first was DR..
Newton, of Jersey City, who presented
his little son, age twelve, who was bit
ten eight or nine days previous by a
dog that is believed to have been rabid.
DR.. Mott, in performing the operation,
proceeded upon DIR. Pasteur's we'll
known method. The virus was pre-
pared by reducing in chicken broth a
small portion of the poisonous marrow
of about fifteen days ago. The pune
ture was made below the chest, and
the little patient bore the operation
manfully. The innoculation will be
repeated daily until virus of the great
est strength has been used, when it is
hoped that all danger of hydrophobia
will have been averted.

Pension Bills.

The Republican members of Con-
gress are losing their tempers over the
Presidents vetoes. 1t does not be-
come them. They should be consider
ate; and more considerate in examining
the appropriation and other bills for
which they vote. The President is
more careful. He gives time and at
tention to the bills which ne signs and
to those which he returns unsigned.
His example is worthy of imitation by
the Congressman who must know that
they are surrounded by claim agents
who are working up undeserving cases.
1t will not answer for the Republicans
TO assail the President and charge him
with opposing justice to faithful SOL
diers.. He has signed over 500 pen.
sion bills during the session-some OF
them, we fear, based upon false evil
dence, and he has vetoed hundred
bills that has been worked up by the
claim agents VINO divided with those
for whom they work, and in his vetoes
he has given good reasons why the
bills should not become laws, and why
the people should not be defrauded IN
this way. The people are with the
President in this good work, and the
true soldiers who did their work faith
fully, are with him too; for they are
decidedly opposed to frauds.--Hart-
tord Times.

Good Coffee Easily Made.

1t is one of the simplest things in
the world to make a good cup of cof-
fee, and this can be easily accomplished
by applying alittle common sense. If
you put boiling water on coffee and
do not let it boil, you have all the
good qualities preserved One reason
dyspeptics cannot drink coffee is be-
cause 1t is boiled The style of coffee
pot is just matter of fancy. l have
made as good coffee in a tomato can
as have ever slipped from cup filed
from the finest French coffee urn. We
should take lessons in this matter from
the Turks aud ArabiaDs, who grind
their coffee to a fine powder. When
the coffee is ground as fine as possible
put it in little bag of unbleached
muslin, which should be tied tightly
enough to prevent the escape of the
grounds. If you use a cup of un.
ground coffee you can make over a
quart of very strong, black coffee. In
making coffee many people sacrifice
flavor for strength. Bitterness comes
from boiling. When a boiling water
is placed on bag of ground coffee il
should stand at least three minutes be,
fore serving. Remember the longer
it stands the stronger it becomes.

Millions for Beer.
From tho PhiladelphIa Record.


Nearly 62s,0Oo,O0 glasses of beer
were brewed and $4,000 gallons of
whiskey manufactured during the fiscal
year ending June 30 last in the First
internal revenue district of Pennsyl-
vania. These figures are obtained
from Collector of Internal Revenue
Gerker's first annual report, which has
Just been forwarded to Washington.
Colonel Gerkers district embraces the
counties of Philadelphia, Delaware,
Chester, Montgomery, Bucks, Berks,
Lehigh and Schuylkill A comparison
of the present report with those of
former years show steady increase in
the manufacture of the malt liquors
ard decrease in distilled liquors, there
having been more than 10000 gallons
of distilled liquors made during the
year ending June 80, 1884. There is
likewise STEADY growth in the manu-
facture of cigars, snuff and smoking
tobacco.
There were l,395,O79 barrels of beer
ard other fermented liquors brewed
in the district during the period named,
for which the government received in
taxes $1,360,199 55. Averaging 450
glasses to barrel the grand total
reaches 627,7S5, $50, or so glasses for
every man, woman and child in the
eight counties named. The people who
drank this had to pay S3l, ,3S9,277 so
for the pleasure. This is nearly three
times as much money as was paid in
taxes by the people of Philadelphia
during the year 1885.
Saloon keepers calculate upon get
ting sixty-fve drinks out of gallon OF
whisky. According to Colonel Gerk-
er's returns there was enough liqnor
distilled to supply 22,03s,705 drinks,
which, at ten cents each, represents an
expenditure of S2,2O3,S7O SO by those
who are not numbered among the
ranks of the white ribbon army.
There were 11,323,170 pounds OF
tobacco, cigars and snuff manufactured
in the district. The collections from
all sources amounted to $2,937, ,332.02,
divided as follows
