Picked Quinces-Peel and core the
ounces. If small, cut them into quar-
tiers; if very large, into eighths. As the
reader probably knows, excellent Jelly
may be made from the cores and skins
Vt the ounce. Weigh the pared fruit,
and take sugar in the proportion Of three
quarters Of pound Of this to every
pound Of the fruit. Arrange the ounces
and sugar in alternate layers in prcserv-
ing kettle, and bring them slowly to
boil. To every five pounds of fruit and
sugar together allow a rupful of strong
vinegar and q teaspoonful each of whole
cinnamon, cloves, and mace. When the
syrup boils, add the spices and vinegar,
and boil six minutes. With n split spoon
remove the fruit and spread it on fiat
dishes, leaving the syrup in the kettle
until it has boiled thick Pack air tight
glass jars with the fruit, fill to overflow
ing with the boiling syrup, aud screw the
tops on lightly.
Pears, peaches, plums, and crab apples
are all good picked according to the
above recipe.
Citron Melon Rind Pickles-Cut the
rnd of a citron melon into strips about
the length and width of the finger. Lay
these in strong brine for three days. then
freshen by laying in cold water for an
hour. Dissolve teaspoonful Of powdered
alum in four quarts of water, preparing
enough to cover the rind. Set the pre-
serving kettle containing the rind and
alum water over the fire where its con-
tents will reach the scalding point grad
ually, and let them remain thus for four
hours. They must not boil. Take out
the rind, and throw it again into very
cold water. Dry the pieces between soft
cloths, pressing gently to extract as much
water as possible Make Il syrup Of u
cup Of sugar and half cup Of water to
every pound of fruit, adding half an
ounce of white ginger sliced to every
quart OF the pickle. Make this syrup
quite hot, put in the rind, and let 1t cook
slowly until the pieces are clear. Then
remove them with a perforated spoon
add to the syrup in the kettle one cup of
vinegar for every pound Of sugar, and
cinnamon, cloves and mace to taste. Boil
this syrup until it shows signs Of thicken-
ing, and, having filed glass jars with the
rind, pour the boiling syrup over.it, and
close the jars. A pretty touch may be
added to this pickle by cutting the rind
into fanciful shapes, as Of leaves, circles,
hearts, etc.-HarFer's Bd:dr.

Defendants of Bread Makers.

Our Bakers, says an English paper,
speaking Of family names, may be readily
turned back 10 their flOury- handed an
cesters, but the BaXters must be followed
for generations before we find they were
of the same family; being the defendants
of the Bagsters, who were the offspring
of the BagesterS, who acknowledged that
they were the children of the Bakesters,
who were femenine bakers. OF the
bread making tribe were also the Pread-
ers and the Whitbreds, the latter perhaps
once priding themselves on the color Of
their stock in trade, while nearly related
to them were Mills, the Millers and the
Mealers.
The large and respectable family of
Boulangers came from the French bakers,
who carried on their trade in England
during the age when family names were
growing, while Mr.. Lowe suggests that
the Bollingers and the Bulliners are OF
the same origin.
Few points in Great Britain are more
than hundred miles from the sea, and
in all ages fish has formed one Of the
staple articles of British diet. Catching
the fish was, therefore, an important in
dustry, and Fish, Fisher and Fisherman,
doubtless had their origin in the occu-
patton the men who first assumed these
names, of which fact there is abundant
record 1t is quite possible also, as Max
Muller suggests, that men may have
made a speciality of taking Or Of selling q
particular kind Of fish, and thus Salmon,
frora Robert le SalmOner; Herring, from
John le HeringerI and Houter, from
Roger le TTowter, may have arisen with,
out violence To the laws OF philology.

To Cross The Atlantic in a Balloon

According to the Philadelphia En-
qtirer, Charles p. Fest, of Germantown,
has spent lifetime in trying to solve the
problem of aerial navigation, having
during the past forty years experimental
with over $50 balloonists. He believes
that his hopes are now about to be real
lied in this particular direction, having
recently invented and constructed a new
device, which he thinks will meet with
all the requirements. The invention is
entirely the work of his own BRAIN and
hands. The balloon, while differing in
minor points Of construction and shape is
essentially an ordinary bag such as is
commonly used for gas imitation. In ad-
dition there is a device consisting of a
network of cords, arranged with view
of collapsing the bag when the internal
| pressure is lowered. The entire weight
| is suspended from the lower ends of the
cords, which are all united outside the
| summit of the balloon. Arranged around
the horizontal equator at proper distances
are number of conical orifces, which
may be opened or closed at pleasure, and
from which hot air is expelled, with a
view of directing the aerial machine in
the desired course. Within the cone is a
spiral projection to cause the issuing hot
air to assume rotary direction.
The heating or motive power is pro-
J duced by flame, created by the burning
of gasoline contained in cans on the out.
side of the hoop. Small pipes running
from these receptacles connect with a
larger pipe, which is attached to the per
pendicular pipe running through the
centre of the balloon. The flame is in
creased OF decreased by slight turn OF
spiggot, and herein lies one of the
principal features of the air ship.
The steering device consists of two
wings, bisecting each other in the centel
at right angles, and arranged upon the
same movable axis, so that the ruddeI
may be placed IN any desired position tC
assist in directing the course of the
ship.
Mr. Fest has made balloon contain
ing the above devices which he ha'
named "The Phoenix" 1t is constructed
of MANILA paper and is ten feet in di
ameter. When inflated it will con
tain 523 cubic feet of hot air. Il
is the intention of the inventor
to set it free the first evening that
the weather is comparatively mild. Hi
name and address is printed on the can
and woodwork of the ballon in severa
places, so that if any one secures the al
ship after it descends the inventor can b
notified of its location. =
The inventor, now feeling confiden
that he has accomplished the object o
his life, which was secured only by grea
perseverance, patience and the loss o
over $1,000 in the way of experiments ol
his hobby, will make preparations to senC
up his mammoth air-ship "Susann
Elizabeth, " named after his wife, whicl
is expected TO cross the ocean in thirty
, six hours.

Spectator, Goth July.

The week has been one of little
significance labrOad. The Dersishes
have made no progress in Egypt,
and have not yet been crushed.
Nothing new of real Significance
comes from the Balkan. The French
Chambers have been Iprorogued after
a curious scene, in which il private
Member fOrestalled the Minister of
Marine in proposing all extra credit
of more, than two millions sterling
for the Navy, which the Minister of
Marine adopted, but tOo late to pass
the Senate, the Chambers having
been prorogued before it could take
up the vote. In England, the Scotch
Local Government Bill has made
progress, while the Scotch OniverSi-
ties Bill has been INSTRUCTED by the
efforts of Mr.. Hunter and bis allies,
because Aberdeen was not satisfied
with the personnel of the Universities
Commission. On Thursday night,
the Government read Il second time,
by 2OS votes against ISL, a short
Bill to amend the process for coIlec-
ting tithps which makes 1.-THE a COun-
ry,Court debt, Instead of compelling
the use of the unpopular power of
di>trnint. The Bill does o profess
TO be- in my way a complete measure,
but it alarms the Radicals, who think
that 1t may delay Observation-Disclosures.
Hence their vigorous resistance to

between the Irish leaders counsel and
their clients, and as a consequence,
they all Withdrew from the Court on
Tuesday, by way ofmakiny a manifesto
against the Commissioners for their
decision not to enter 0n an examimd-
ton OF the books Of The Loyal and
Patriotic Union. They shook the
dust from their feet md departed,
leaving the Commissioners to inquire
without further aid from the lawyers.
Mr.. 1. Healy, NJ. p. who presided at
the National League meeting in Tub
Ii" on Monday, interpreted to. the
public the action taken by the Irish
Members, in u speech in which he
said that Sir james Hammer, who
had been subjected to " moral tor
tnre" by Mr.. John OCofhor's unsux-
tanned charge that innocent men were
hanged in Dublin to the knowledge
of the Irish Government, "was tho
respected gentlemen who for a gener-
alton had presided over the morals of
the British a%ristocracy in the Lon.
don Divorce Courts, and in the
course of twenty years. while every
form of high-pInced inlamy and low
placed filth had been dragged before
him, he wa never subjected to moral
Orture." Mr.. Healy does not care
o define clearly what he is talking
about, lest its vindictiveness should
be made. plain to all. Sir james
Hammer is a Judge, and has no
business to complain of hearing the
record of crime. But he has the
right TO complain OF hearing the most
shocking charges made against per
sons of high character without even II
shadow of evidence, or 40 much az
IN assumption that evidence for such
charges is needed and that was the
essential point of his remark about
the moral torture to which he was
being subject4d,-the essential pOint
which Mr.. HeaIy, Of course, ignored.
Sir James Hannen took the with.
drawal OF the Irish counsel with per-
feet composure, quietly remarking
that it deprived the Commissioners
of a certain amount of valuable help
but did NOT alter in the least the scope
and limits Of the investigation with
which they were entrusted. No
Judge v presided over a Court
with more dignity. The coup de
hsdgre fell very ffat.

During the cross examination of
Mr.. Houston by Sir Charles Russell
yesterday week, as % his relations
with the Loyal Patriotic Union, and
the pamphlet, ParnelIism Unma~k-
ed" which he purchased from Pigoit
for circulation by that Association,
the question nose whether the Com
mission had or had o power to or.
der the production of the books of
the Loyal and Patriotic Union, to
show how the charges subsequently
taken up by the Times had originated.
The Commissioners decided that
they had no Such power, that they
were appointed t. investigate the
truth or lalSehood Of The Tines char
ges, but not the history of their
Origin,- w%hereupon q great stir arose
in Court, Sir Charles Russell telling
the President that as n consequence of
that ruling, he and Mr.. Asquith had
received d communication from Mr..
Parnell, which amounted almost TO
an instruction, rendering it necessary
to ask for time to consider their pos.
itiOn, especially as they wished to act
with all due Difference to the Com
mission. Thereupon Dir. Parnell
and Mr. Oavitt left the Court, and
were followed by Sir Charles Russell.
Soon afterwards. Mr.. Reid and Mr..
Lockwood iniimaied their wish for
an opportunity of comforting with
Sir Charles Russell before they went
on with the case ; and in the end, the
Court adjourned ill last Tuesday at
ten minutes to 1, instead of at the
usual d o'clock.

TuE charge of the mother and wife ofthe
late mind reader, Bishop, that he was not
dead when the doctors made an autopsy
and removed the brain, is startling, but
without weight. Their only ground for
the terrible charge il the presumption that
Bishop was in one of the prolonged frances
TO which he was subject, and 10 this the
physicians reply that special precautions
were taken to prove that the man was
really dead that the iucisions will now
show whether they were made ON living
man, and finally their own high standing
in the profession should make such care
lessness incredible. The Pathologist
Furgeson performed the autopsy. II
was quite in the natural course of
events that Bishop should die as
he did, and he fully expected such
a death.
When considered in connection with
the recent doings of nervous special
lists with hysterical and cataleptic patients,
the mind reading performances do not ap-
pear so astounding, They have frequently
made these sick people act in scryile and
apparently helpless obedience TO another
Will, and so perfect is the submission that
the French Medico-legal society is endcav-
orinS to have law passed covering
the oiense of compelling another to
commit crime by this means. Now
bishops power, or weakness, seems To have
been the reverse OF this lie put himself
