Patti and the Burglar.

1t is said that shortly before Nine
Patti left Wales for her South American
tour'she had a thrilling experience with a
burglar. The songstress was alone in her
chamber preparing to retire for the night
when she heard a sound in an adjoining
room, as if some one were moving about
Patti hastily donned wrapper and walked
boldly into the room from which the
sounds came, and stood face to face with
gigantic burglar. He wore a mask to
conceal his features, and in his hand he
carried heavy club. The plucky woman
asked him what he was doing there.
Don't you see, he replied in a broad
Welsh dialect, II am stealing your dia.

And he held up to her astonished eyes
the most beautiful bracelet which she
possessed. Patti did not scream. She

The Lick Telescope.

The great Lick telescope in California
promises wonderful discoveries in the
Skies. Professor Holden is very enthusi
astic over its revelations, and says that he
has had views of the planets, the stars,
the milky way and the nebul@ that no
other astronomer ever before had. The
telescope resolves the nebula in Lyra into
wreaths of sun STUFF which are in the
process of developing into solid bodies,
and the observation of Jupiter promises to
solve some of the curious questions about
that planet -Chicago Herald

Having Fun with Cockroaches.

The samples Of -four and grain which
are kept in the Produce Exchange attract
large numbers of cockroaches, and any
day these lively insects may be seen crawl
ing over the floor, desks and tables.
These cockroaches make lots Of fun
for u.s." said Aleck Meakin. Whenever
one of the beasts stops he waits quarter
of minute before he moves. He seems
to be ia meditative mood, and until he
actually starts there is no telling which
way he will go. 1t is this uncertainty of
intention which enables us to extract fun
out of him. One man bets the cockroach
will go east, another that he will go west,
a third wagers on the north and the fourth
puts up his money on south. When the
insect starts the winner rakes in the
stakes and invites the unfortunates out
to take smile"
But suppose the direction is half way
between the cardinal points," suggested
the reporter.

GENERALIZATION OF FRUITS.
The Method as Explained to CALIFORNIA;
Board Of HORTICULTURE.


The process Of preserving fruits in q
crystallized or glazed form Is attracting
considerable attention at the present time.
This process. though comparatively new
in California, has been extensively ope-
the United States having been heavy i'm
porters. paying fancy prices for the pro-
duct. The process Is quite simple. The
theory is to extract the juice from the
fruit and replace it with sugar syrup.
which, upon hardening, preserves the
fruit from decay and at the same time
retains the natural shape of the fruit.
All kinds of fruit are capable of being
preserved under this process. Though
the method is very simple, there is GER
tain skill required that is only acquired
by practice. The several successive steps
in the process are about as follows: First,
the same care in selecting and grading
the fruit should be taken as for canning;
that is, the fruit should be all of one size
and as near the same ripeness as possible.
The exact degree OF ripeness Is Of great
Importance, which Is at that stage when
fruit is best for canning. Peach8s, pears.
etc, are pared and cut in halves as for
canning; plums, cherries. ETC.. are pitted.
The fruit having thus been carefully
prepared is then put in a basket or bucket
with perforated bottom and immersed
in boiling water. The object of this is to
dilute and extract the juice of the fruit.
The length of time the fruit is immersed
is the most important part of the process.
If left too long it is overlooked and be
comes soft; if not immersed long enough.
the Juice is not sufficiently extracted,
which prevents a perfect absorption of
the sugar. After the fruit has been thus
scalded and allowed to cool, it can again
be assorted as to softnesS. The next step
is the strip, which is made of white
sugar and water. The softer the fruit,
the heavier the sirup required. Ordinar-
lily, about 20 dogs. Balling's saccharometer
is about the proper weight for the strip
The fruit is then placed in earthen pans
and covered with sirup, where it is left to
Eemain about week. The sugar enters
the fruit and displaces what juice re-
manned after the scalding process.
The fruit now requires careful watch
ing. as fermentation will soon take place,
and when this has reached a certain stage
the fruit and sirup is heated to boiling
degree, which checks the fermentation.
This heating process should be repeated
as often as necessary for about six weeks.
The fruit is then taken out of the strip
and washed in clean water, and Is then
ready to be either glazed or crystallized.
as the operator may wish If glazed, the
fruit is dipped in thick sugar strip and
left to harden quickly in open all. If it
is to be crystallized, dip in the same kind
If strip, but is made to cool and harden
slowly, thus causing the sugar which
covers the fruit to crystalline. The fruit
is now ready for boxing and shipping
Fruit thus prepared will keep in any
climate and stand transportation.-J.J J.
