The sugar is given for one quart Of
fruit. The simplest cans are the best.
Those of glass with glass covers, a
rubber band and a screw ring are very
easily sealed, and any child of twelve
can manage them. Use only fresh
fruit and that which is perfectly ripe
not too soft Fill your can full of fruit;
put straw, or better, stand them on
iron rings, in any vessel that is con-
venient-a boiler will do nicely Put
over a slow fire and cover with cold
water. Gradually increase the heat after
the water becomes hot If too hot at
first the glass will break. Watch the
cans and rs the fruit in the cans low
ers fill with fresh ripe fruit Mean
while make sirup of white sugar
and one cupful of water. When the
fruit is about half done and while the
sirup Is hot pour it over the fruit and
continue boiling until done. It must
not be cooked until it will fall apart.
When the can is full press the
handle of a teaspoon Gown the
side of the jar, to cause the bulb
bles of air to rise to the top. Add a
teaspoonful or two of the boiling Juice;
screw on the top as tightly as possible.
Let it stand until cold, tighten and put
in cool. dry place. If preferred, the
fruit can be cooked first with the sirup
and then poured into the cans The
stones of two or three peaches, if left
In the can, will give the whole a Bit
ter-almond flavor. This improves
them for most palates. 1t is a good
plan to line the lids with paper, as this
prevents mold from forming on top.
Tomatoes should be put up in tin cans.
by lining them with white wrapping
paper, the cans will last longer and it
also prevents any taste that might come
from the tin. Line the lid and lay an
other paper on the top besides. |

The Poison of Spiders.

An interesting essay on the poison
of spiders was recently delivered by
Prof. Brieger, of Halle, before a society
of naturalists. Experiments made with
two kinds of Russian spiders reputed
TO be venomous showed them to be in
nocuous, but a third species, belonging
10 the same region and properly termed
the ''black wolf" was found fully to
bear out its reputation. Its poison is
more powerful perhaps than any
known, not excepting prussic acid and
strychnine. 1t makes great ravages
among Russian livestock, attack
ing the animals as they Craze. 1t in
.flicts sting on the mouth or tongue
which causes death in short time.
The venom pervades the entire system
of the spider, constituting about
twenty-five per cent. of its weight. The
poison belongs to the class of so-called
ferments, being composed of albumin
Gus matter. 1t is rendered inactive
when subjected to the action of alco-
hol. 1t produces no effect when taken
in the stomach, but when introduced
into the blood vessels, it acts so pow
erfully that two or three milligrammes
will suffice to kill man. Prof. Brieger
has examined the spiders of Germany,
and has found one only to be venom
Gus. In this species the venom is
possessed only by the young insect,
which is virulent in an extraordinary
degree.-N Y. Post
