Household.

Last week the inexperienced house,
keeper was promised a few plain direc-
tions about canning in the hope that
some effo rts might be made to secure for
the household home products that are as
superior to those of the factory as is the
conserve. The preparatory work is
about the same, only it can be done IN a
smaller way. A busy woman, even if
she does her cooking, can fn1 time for
putting up a can or TWO each day while
she is preparing dinner. The material
of the can is of little consequence
Tomatoes keep better in the dark and
so do fruits, but if glass is used
the Jars can be wrapped in paper
and put in a box of sand. If
peaches are on hand, prepare them
as for preserving, have the pieces as
large as possible, they really preserve
the flavor better if canned whole, but as
in that form they require more cooking
and cans, this method is but little used d.
As fast as the fruit is pared drop it into
water to prevent discoloratiOn. Prepare
a syrup, allowing about half the weight
of the fruit in sugar, little less viii an
swer, drain a small quantity of fruit
not over canful'at time, and put II
into the boiling syrup letting it boil fif-
teen minutes, have the cans in pan of
warm water on the back of the stove,
and large mOuthed funnel ready to be
used in filling, this should be done
quickly and the cans closed at once, if tin
is used, each can should be Tabled Ii
the cooking Is thorough, the sealing
complete and the fruit kept IN cool
place, there is little fear of fermenta-
ton. Strawberries and most small fruits
are more successfully canned by putting
them into the can, sprinkling sugar be-
tween each layer, aud cooking by lui-
mersion i'll a vessel of cold water and
Keeping it at the boiling point about
twenty minutes. The fruit viii cook
down, but the contents of one can may
be taken to fill up Pears require longer
cooking than anysfruit: at least thirty

THE PINES.

Fur back in days OF childhood stood grove OF
stately pines,
The fields spread green around them and their
shadowy outlines
Reached up into the sky SO far that believed
it true
That angels, on their upstretched arms, passed
thro' the Heavenly bne.
And when the night winds murmured in their
branches sweet and low,
listened thro the dark and said: Eyes an.
gels harps, know;
Good angels, who will give me ali lwant II
am kind"
For childhoods eyes look far and wide, but
chtldhood's faith is blind.
And as the angel music filed my soul with
visions bright,
lay upon 1ay pillow in dream OF rapt de-
light,
Where noble knights and maidens moved in an
enchanted land
ofnalaccs and gardens fair, and castles tall
and grand.
"Sweet angels, grant me but two gifts, and III
be good, pray:
A palace for my home and let my mother live
Away;
My mother dear, SO beautiful. that like to you
oh. let her live 3orever!' thus whispered in
my dreams
No palaces are mine. yet round me woods and
mountains stand.

And Faiths bright angel tells me that my

Curious Stories Of Battles Between Wasps
and Their Enemies.
"a story which appeared few days ago
concerning a fight between wasp and a
spider reminded me Of a similar battle
which / witnessed q short time ago. was
walking across a field when saw SPIDERS

were to bind its prey. When the wasp ceased
to struggle the spider approached. But the
winged insect had not given up. AS it saw

to the utmost to get near enough to use 1ts

"a moment later the wasp was turned
over and bound more firmly than ever. 1t

Old Announcements to Be Soon In English
Towns and Villages.
Among the oddities of tavern signs in
England those that contain the names OF
the apostles are not uncommon, says the
Detroit Free Press. There are several
"Luke's" taverns-the district or ward
probably bearing the sanity name. Once
the writer came across ''Peter's Finger
the sign-board bearing figure with pointed
finger, evidently representing the saint in
discoursing.
In the line of quaint instances, however,
may be named the following: "Honest
Lawyer'' and "Silent Woman who are
humorously depicted as having attained
that state of perfection or discretion when
the head is cut off and earned under the
arm. "Pig and WHISTLE" Cock and Bot
tie" and 'sLamb and Flag" are somewhat
strange combinations, but sHorse and
Groom" Fox and Lamb" 'Coach and
Horses" and such like, call for less COM
ment. In London the ''Hole in the WALTZ
probably contains an aperture through
which supper beer is served to customers
who come by side entrance. remember
one hotel which in exterior rhyme gave
s'good advice" though scarcely appropri-
ate, and may he deemed saycring Of can't,
commencing:
"Let moderation be your guide,
And never from, its precepts slide.
While another country iun, called "The
Wheel" has this bidding:
Stop. friend stop, make no doubt
You'll help me turn the wheel about"
There was a tavern in London where it
one entered and deposited O. farthing on
the counter without speaking, a glass Of ale
would be served, but whether more than
once a day, Or the origin of the singular
custom, did not learn.
Some hostelries claim in the name of the
owning brewer such 8 distinction as
Browns Entire'' meaning, / believe, that
it's liquors are exclusively supplied by him.
In the Isle of Man was to be seen the fol-
lowing efusion on an inn on a hillside:
"My name is Abraham Low,
I'm half way up the hill;
II higher up go,
That will be better still;
Then come and take swill,
Take whatever you WILL
The prices Ike me are L0W."
In addition to being a tribute Of affection,
the wife, Of certain Landlord Of the
Lion'' did a little advertising for herself
(like the widow Of the sculptor who ADDED
a sort Of postscript to her perpetuation OF
his memory, viz: :; Monuments of this kind,

Remarkable Caution.

II never saw such clear water in my life
is there is in the harbor of Port au Prince -
said naval officer to Washington Star re-
porter. "When the sea is calm one can see
The bottom, fourteen fathoms down. The
water that comes into the harbor is all
Clear, as it flows down over coral beds.
While going up the harbor we used to I'LL a
beer-bottle with water to make it heavy,
and throw it straight ahead of the ship.
When we passed the spot where it struck
we could see it still going down, away be-
low US. The only fish in the harbor is the
gar fish, long, slim fellow: like the pike,
with sharp, hard beak that won't take a
hook. They used to hang around the ship
N schools The only way to get them IS to
shoot them with rife. As they lay on the
surface of the water by the ships side they
offered a very fair mark.
'There was one immense tiger shark that
ased to come noslng around, and we thought
chat we'd dose him up. So we loaded a
great piece Of pork with a bottle of gun
powder, and fastened an electric fuse to it,
connecting it with the battery on the ship.
the bait was then hung over the
stern, and his majesty came waltzing
up to it. AS soon as he reached it, how
eyer, instead of turning half over and
causing 1T to disappear, as was his usual
custom, he began to sniff at it. Then he shot
away and acted shy, returning now aud
shen to smell Of the pork. But he would
not bite ii. Finally some one suggested
experimenting with the pork without the
powder bottle, and the shark took it with
put a moments hesitation. We afterward
exploded the bottle in a piece of pork, and
It threw the mead in every direction.
We have often had a great deal Of amuse-
me.at out of the Jacikies whenever they
caught a shark. When we entered harbor
where sharks were plenty there would al
ways be a hook anging over the stern, and
It was not long before g. great big fellow
was hauled up to the rail. Then the old
Jackies, who had been there before, all
crowded close around the carcass with their
knives, ready to cut it up, thus keeping the

have their bouses stuffed with all sorts OF
things, and as soon as the body was ripped

THE WRONG MAN.
A Story of Macready, q Muscular Man

Story of MacreaSy, y Muscular Man
ami an Innocent Stranger.
Macready used every agency that nat
Ire put in his power" to make his acting
ell He neglected no aid of light and
,hade, no study of position, no inmate at
.ention to detail; indeed, 40 artitice what
aver that would heighten the effect.
The storm scene in ''Lear" was one OF
The most powerful representations. An
Did man, tottering and exhausted, raving at
she elements, and defying thunder. light
ling and hail, is touching spectacle. To
get himself up IN style for this scene he
employed strong and muscular friend to
spend few moments in shaking him Wig
9rously, first right and then left, then for
ward and back, as a dog shakes a rat, till
ais hair was every way, and his general
condition SO mixed up that, when the mus
,ular man gave him the final shove onto the
stage, he was the very picture of a Keeling,
worn out, used-up old man, and as he vented
mis- rage on the stormy forces of nature the
impression was tremendous.
One night the strong man was somewhat
late, and fearing that he would be behind
hand in his part as s'shaker,' he rushed in
h,lrriedly to what he supposed was the right
place, and, seeing an elderly-looking man
with long, white hair peering about as
though he expected somebody: he went for
ward and shook him-shook him powerfully
shook him to make up for lost time
/" shook the daylight out Of him, and then
flung him headlong on to the stage"
The pit saw it in a moment, and they
hooted as only the pit Of the old days could
boot. The victim, scared almost to death,
skunk back as quickly as possible to pri.
yate life, and the stout party didn't quite
take in the situation till the enraged Lear
indulging in tall kind of rhetoric not found
in Shakes peare, impressed upon him that be
