Fruit and Flowers.

l will give Alice my method of seal
ing cold or uncooked strawberries
Crush them thoroughly and to each
pound of fruit add one pound of granu-
lated sugar. Let them stand over
night in cold place, stirring occa-
sionally, so as to dissolve all the sugar,
and then seal up. If the can is perfect
they will keep two years, or more if not
eaten up. Remove all over-ripe berries
and crush them as soon as gathered.

my flowers and quiet offer of slips of

In reply to Alice | would like to give
my experience in canning strawberries
without cooking. l first crush the ber-

Let this mixture stand twenty-four

PECULIAR in the combination, pro-
portion and preparation of its ingre-
dents, Hoods Sarsaparila accomplishes
cures where other preparations entirely
fail. Peculiar in its good name at
home, which is a "tower of strength
abroad" peculiar in the phenomenal
sales it has attained, Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla is the most successful medicine for
purifying the blood, giving strength
and creating an appetite.

PROFESSOR BRINToN says that the
very best thing for sprain is TO put
the limb into vessel of very hot water
Immediately, then add boiling water,
as it can be borne. Keep the part
immersed for twenty minutes, or until
the pain subsidies; then apply tight
bandage and order rest. Sometimes
the joint can be used in twelve hours.
If necessary, use silicate of sodium
dressing.

Lightly turns to thoughts of love

Then the women clean their houses

Birds sing sweet OF youth and love-
Warm and bright the sunbeams greet us
From the cloudless arch above;
Earth throws back her snowy mantle
From green velvet, soft and fair,
Everything seems free and happy
In the balmy spring-time air
But within, how great the contrast
April showers and big cyclones,
Pals of dirty scrubbing-water,
Soapy floors and aching bones,
Streaks of softsoap, SCOT and whitewash
On the dresses worn and old;
Table piled with dirty dishes;
Dinner picked up" scant and cold.

You're not anxious long to stay

And we thank our stars and garters

father had accumulated.

1t was very silly talk George Law is not
a youth and he is not squanderer. In his
convivial moments he will come very near
to spending his income-and that is not an
easy task. But when George is not in
convivial mood he is a very different man.
Gossips will gossip, but as matter-of-fact
the fortune left by the old steamboat man
has been in no manner diminished since it
passed into the hands of his son George,
despite the latter's occasional weakness
for associating with pugilists, gamblers
and other persons generally considered off
color.
A parallel case is that of James Gordon
Bennett, who, in his time, has been the hope
and fear of>mammas with eligible daugh-
tiers at every fashionable resort in America
and Europe. His extravaganza recalled
Monte Cristo and caused knowing ones to
shake their heads and say that if that sort
of thing was kept up the Herald would
come to the auction block and young Ben
nett to driving a street car or something of
that sort, and that this would be the result
of the scheme and labors of the canny
Scotch founder of great newspaper. None
of these things have come to pass. With all
his erratic way, Bennett has continued to
make the Herald good newspaper There
will be none of his name, as the founder of
the paper might have wished, to continue In
control after he is gone. Isaac Bell, Jr., his
nephew, will, in all probability, be its next
owner.
But if Law and Bennett and others have
sowed wild oats with strong and steady
hand, there are other rich mems sons who,
if they sowed wild oats, must have sowed
them in soft ground where no one heard
them fall
There are rich mems sons, strange as it
may seem, who deserved their luck.
1t would require much space to enumerate
them and every letter in the alphabet from
A, under which the Astor family stand, to
' for Vanderbilt, would be represented by
them. But it is not necessary to place them
in alphabetical order. The scions of the
Vanderbilt and Astor families have been
singularly careful to tread in the footsteps
of the builders of their fortunes, and besides
have cultivated qualities that their grand
fathers could not. 1t is we'll known how
the late William Fl. Vanderbilt increased
the wealth left him by the old Commodore
and left his sons about $4,000 900 each,
enough to cause any young man to &c TO
the bad if he had any inclination to GO in
that direction. But they had no such in
clination. Cornelius Vanderbilt quickly
stepped into his fathers shoes at the head Of
the great railroad system controlled by the
Vanderbilts. just as though he had been en-
gagged in the same position for a lifetime,
and in the meantime did not give up his
work in the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton and in the churches in which he is in
terested. George Vanderbilt, the student
and scholar. was not moved to leave his
library by the fact that he was left q fort
une for which many a prince would pawn
his throna

You might take him for some sort of a
sub-foreman, but he is not. He is Gilbert
Jones' son of George Jones, the principal
owner of the Times and one of the best me-
chanics in the United States. 1t was he
who conceived the design for the great
building that the Times is erecting. 1t was
he also Who conceived the plan whereby
the inner portion of the building was left
standing while the outer shell was being
built around it, so that the Times was issued

that the old walls were being demolished

Some Worthy Sons of Wealthy and

to Take Care of Their Money.
Copyright 1881
WASHINGTON Oct. 6.-The sons of rich
men have generally been successful in poll
tics. AS rule they are not SO easily cor
rupted by the money power as men of small
means. Perry Belmont and William Wal
ter Phelps are the leaders of the banged and
beautiful legion which has jumped out of
the lap of luxury into the somewhat berry
and plug-cut atmosphere of the House. Bob
Roosevelt. Seth Low and Willie Aston are
all sons of millionaires who went into poll
tics for fun and became hard working men
in the positions to which they were elected.
Now it is currently reported that Paul
Dana, the son of the veteran editor, is itch
ing for congressional honors. This young
man, although a millionaire both by inherit
ance and marriage, has been hard work
ing journalist for years and would make an
energetic congressman.
Rich mems sons are in bad repute among
the people, but the majority of them turn
out well.
When few weeks ago George Law Gre
ated a sensation by giving away $4,000 or
$12, 900 worth of diamonds to a crowd of
prize-fghters and gamblers at Saratoga,
there was the usual cutlery about the lavish
youth who was squandering the fortune his
father had accumulated.

Nor is Charles A. Dana, the Nestor of the
Sun, less fortunate Pant Dana, his son, is
deservedly one of the most popular mon in
New York. An athelete and q society man,
the husband of a charming woman, he is
also a man of brains and has been trained
in the Sun office under the keen eye Of his
father, and it will be admitted he could
have no better trailer.
Joseph Pulitzer has no son to share his
money OF his talent.
Elliot +. Sheppard, the new proprie-
tor of the Mail and Enpress, has son.
but he is not old enough to be heard from
yet.
Whitelaw Reid has two sons, but they are
not as yet interested in political campaigns
or any other of the trif1es that amuse grown
up infants.
Parke Goodwin, of the Commercial Ad-
Uertiser, has two sons who mar age his paper
for him.
OF course there are some sons and
grandsons of rich and famous men who
have not yet had chance to make a
record
Chauncey>M. Depew has a son that be
calls "The Buster" who will bear watch
ing.
Addison Cammack who married late and
happily, has couple of boys for whom he
would desert the stock market.
There are grandsons in tho Vanderbilt
and Aston families as we'll as in tho family
of Jay Gould, and they haven't had time
to be anything except a credit to their
family.
The list of rich mems sons who have
not disgraced themselves or. anyone else
might be heightened. But what's the usea
any other mans son.

Then there is the Aston family. Old John
Jacob Aston was a prudent, careful man
who knew that 100 cents were worth good
deal more than 100 cents il properly han
died. His son had the same knowledge and
IL his grandsons lack it, there is no evidence
of the fact.
As a matter of fact there are no steadier
young men in New York than Gould's
sons. The eldest Of them, George, has
two sons of his own. Jay Gould has been
as fortunate in his sons as in his financial
ventures. The Little Wizard is not what
he was physically. He is not the wreck
that many papers paint him. But at the
same time be feels the effect of the terrific
strain that he has been under for years.
But If he should give up tomorrow, his
quiet-voiced son, George, who is sfngu-
larry like his father, assisted by bis younger
brother, could take up the business and
carry II on.
