EMPEROR FREDERICK'S DEATH.
 Only three months ago Emperor Wilhelm died, ending life which had been full of re- sponsibility and well used power. Tester day his son, who was well prepared to reign,
 and who possessed to an extraordinary de-
 gree the respect and trust of his subjects, left the world, after a very brief experience of kingship, and after long fight against 8 painful and wasting disease. A sadder event has rarely been chronieled in the history of royalty.
 The Emperor Frederick was . manly and noble prince. He won great fame as soldier, but he had no love for war. His views re- .garding war were so well known that his ac- cession to the throne was heralded in all the capitals of Europe as a guarantee of contin- ued peace. And one of his first acts after coming to power was courteous message to President Carnot, expressing the hope that the relations between France and Germany would continue friendly. This response was sent directly by the Emperor, without con- sultation- with Prince Bismarck, and pro- duced great satisfaction in France. And among other indications of the spirit that was in him was his letter to Prince Bismarck warmly acknowledging the services of the true and courageous counsellor" who gave "aim and form" to the policy of the late monarch; declaring that "the constitutional rights of all the federal governments must be as conscientiously respected as those of the Reichstag;;" and that the surest guarantee of the unimpeded execution of his new tasks lay in "the unabated maintenance of the war like power of the country" promising to "warmly support all efforts calculated to en- hance the economic prosperity of the differ ent classes of society" without, how ever, raising any expectation of curing the ills of society by State interventien:" and ex- pressing his determination "that the bases of religious toleration which for centuries past were held sacred by my house shall con- tinue to be extended to all my subjects of whatever religious community or creed. Everyone of them stands equally near my heart, for all have shown equally complete devotion in times of danger"
 It is useless to speculate concerning what would have happened had this great and good prince been in health and continued to reign. It now looks as if he would have done well for Germany. Of his successor little is really known, and some of that which is known is rather disturbing to the friends of peace in Europe. Of course as long as Bis marck lives he will be tho real ruler, but he is now past seventy and probably cannot hold the reins much longer.

k40R1y 10 8 CEAbtG18MAs Te the Editor of the JOURNAL AND C~shZER:
 The Union of June IA contains criticism of part of Professor Johnson's poem at the dedication of the Putnam monument. Will you permit brief replya It is too late in the day-and thank God quite nesdless-to dis cnss the peculiar institution which inspired John Browns action. There are abundant proofs that the early Christians held different views on the slavery question. But there were many among them who ante-dated the abolition sentiment. The Abbot Isidore, writing in behalf of 8 slave, says: "Idid not suppose that man who loves Christ, who knows the grace which has made all men free could hold slave.n It is quite true that neither Christian empercrs nor bishops enacted laws against slavery as recognized crime Nevertheless then, as in later years, the conviction of the moral wrong pressed heavily on sensitive souls. Hence tho man omission of slaves on the occasion of the owners baptism or death, common form being: fsTherefore, in the name of God, for the good of my soul and redemption from sin, have set free my slaves" It being granted that in all ages and conditions of life the burden of slavery has rested on the free as we'll as on the fettered, 1t IS not strange that 8 nature too ardent to attract the gradual fructiHcation of plans for the amelioration of the sufferers should burst in- te precipitate, ill-adyised, but truly noble action. sSsT sssssg-sES s-ss ayss@
 The editor of the Union in quoting from the litany of the church to which Professor Johnson belongs should be moreinclusive in his selection. In addition to the delivsrance from tfschism and 1ebeliion," there are prayers against ''blindness and hardness of heart;" and for pity upons'all who are deso- late and oppressed Listening to the sigh- ing of the sorrowful, breeding over the wrongs of sfthe desolate and the op- pressed, John Brown could no longer brook delay which seemed criminal to him. He heard, and he obeyed the voice of him who called:
 "Christ the Lord, tho his face be black;
 Christ the Lord though foul with sin;
 Christ the Lord, although he lack
 Beauty without and peace within"

Mrs. Frederic Cunningham, daughter of the late Amos A. Lawrence, is carrying out plan for the amelioration of the condition of the working people of Brookline, Mass. She erected an eight-tenement house on Pearl street opposite the Brookline avenue and arranged tenements of three and four rooms each. Great care was taken to make each tenement comfortable, and to have the ventilation and all sanitary arrange msnts perfect. The tenements were quickly occupied, and the rents, which are collected weekly, and vary from $1.60 to $210, have been promptly paid. The house Is named the Hopewell. Mrs. Cunningham is now building tenement house in the rear of the Hopewell, and similarly planned, except that several two-room tenements will be provided to accommodate widows with children, or others who require but little room.

England doesn't mean to ''get left" in the struggle for land in Africa. The British East African company is hard at work. Its territory is a region of six hundred thousand square miles in area, extending fromIthe east coast inland, north of line from Mombasa to the middle of the east shore of Lake Vic- toria Nyanza. The company has authority to maintain a military force, build forts, levy taxes and excise, and open trade routes. MT. Aackinnon. the chief promoter of the enter prise, is sure that the company has @ great and prosperous career before it, and professes confidence in it's success as a means of im- proving the condition of the people also. He is, or professes to be, Q philanthropist, as we'll as trader. This is about the way the East India company began.

One of the most forcible illustrations of the beneficial effect of the high license law in Philadelphia was the fact that when the midday train pulled out of the Broad street station on Monday it did not have attached the car in which druRkards are usually car ried to the House of Correction. It is the frst instance on record in which this car was not needed. The ex-saloon keepers who re- main open on Sunday to sell "ssft" drinks and pie can be fined $4 each under an old statute; but if they are fined, cigar dealers, milk dealers, etc., will also have to be fined.

!GoosEBERRIEs, which come in July,
make very good preserves, but are
better spiced according to the follow
ing famous recipe: Six. quarts of
gooseberries, nine pounds of sugar.
Cook one hour and half, then add
one pint of vinegar, one tablespoonful
each Of cloves, cinnamon and allspice;
boil a little longer. When cold they
should be solid; if not, boil them
again. The little green gooseberries
are the best.
QU1NcE.-Pare, core and quarter
your fruit, using a pound of white
sugar to every pound of fruit. Take
the Feelings and cores and put them
into a kettle; cover them with water
and boil for half an hour, then strain
through a fine sieve o. jelly bag, and
put the juice back in the kettle and
boil the ounces in it, a few at time,
until they are tender. Lift out as
they are DONE. with a drainer, and lay
on a dish. When all are done put in
the sugar and allow it to boil about
ten minutes before putting in the
ounces. Let them boil slowly until
they change color. While boiling,
occasionally slip a silver spoon under
them to see that they do not burn, but
on no account stir them.

pairing fruit for preserves, the more
hastily it is done the better, as the nat
ural favor is thus more readily saved
While delay should be avoided in pre-
pairing and cooking, preserves should
boil slowly. Always use a porcelain ket.
J tie; however if a brass n is used,
scour thoroughly; this may be done by
dissolving a little salt in lukewarm
vinegar. The canning of fruit has
done away with the old method OF
making preserves to some extent, but
there: is certainly deliciousness about
preserves that is not found in canned
fruit. ... ~o.tE 4.- ..g.. El +
CANNING IN2GLAss.-There are sew
eral ways of preparing glass cans for
fruit. Among them these are some of
the best: Wash the cans in warm
water, fill about half full with boiling
water, and let stand until wanted;
pour out the water and fill at once
with the boiling fruit, Or, wiring a
towel out of cold water, double and
wrap closely around and under the
can and fill. When the "a is filled,
if common sealing-wax cans are used,
wipe out the groove, carefully fit the
lid On, and seal Immediately. In using
the ~self-sealing cans, great care should
be taken to have the rubber ring show
an even edge all around, for if it slips
back at any point, air will be admitted.
One-half a pound of sugar to a pound
of fruit, is a good rule for canned
fruit, although many housekeepers use
but a quarter of a pound of sugar to
a pound of fruit. When the fruit is
canned especially for pies, it is not
necessary to use sugar at the time Of
canning, although some think it pre-
ferable; it is merely a matter of taste.
The fruit can be sweetened when the
pies are made. An excellent rule for
canning the larger fruits, such as
pears, peaches, ETC., is to place them in
a steamer over boiling water, and
cover tightly. Let them boil fifteen
or twenty minutes, or until you can
pierce them with a fork. Make a
syrup of sugar of the right consistency.
AS the fruit is steamed drop each
piece into the syrup for a moment,
then place in cans; when the cans are
about half full of fruit, fill up with
the syrup and seal. ". Il
The following table gives the time
required for cooking fruit, and the
quantity of sugar necessary. sa

BETTER THINGS.

Better to smell the violet cool
Than sip the glowing wine;
Better to bark a hidden brook
Than watch a diamond shine.
Better the love of a gentle heart
Than beauty's favor proud;
Better the roses living seed
Than roses in a crowd.
Better be fed by a mothers hand
Than eat alone at will;
Better to trust in God than say,
my goods my ~storehouse fill.
Better to sit at a masters feet
Than thrill a listening State.
Better suspect that thou art proud
Than be sure hat thou art great.
Better to walk the real unseen
sThan watch the hours event;
Better the swell done - at the last
Than the air with shouting rent.
Better to have a quiet grief
Than a hurrying delight;
Better the twilight of the dawn
Than the MONDAY burning bright.
Better a death when work is done
Than earth's most favored birth;
Better a child in Gods great house
Than the king of all the earth.
