Drying Peaches.

One Of the most important things in
the process is to have good fruit, neither
too ripe nor too green and hard.
In the second place, good trays, such
as they dry raisins on, are almost indis-
pensable. You handle them easily; they
are more convenient than cloth or plank,
because you can carry them from the
room where the fruit is prepared and
placed on the trays to the sulphur bath.
Care must be taken to place the sui
phur pan far enough below the trays to
prevent burning.
TO make a scafTold to place your trays
on, set stakes in the ground about two
feet high, mailing fence boards at the top
in rows two feet apart. The trays should
face to the southwest, so as to get the
full benefit of the afternoon sun
Sawed redwood shakes make very
good trays. They should be nailed with
wrought nails to rim of one-inch
square lumber.
Have a room to handle and store your
fruit as it is dried. Make it moth proof,
with tight walls and screens over the
doors and windows.
The doors aud windows should be
closed at night and opened every day to
facilitate drying.
TO make bright clean, merchantable
fruit, have all your trays of an even size.
Pile them up every night to keep out
the dampness and the moths; uncover
them in the morning after sunrise.
Do not let your fruit get too dry on
the trays, but examine it critically, for
when some are perfectly dry other pieces
will be partly dry. Carry the fruit into
the storeroom and bulk it, turning it
over every two days to equalize the
dampness, aud whenever it is dry
enough to keep, sack it at once and keep
it bright and clean. - California R1rdl

WARNING,

When naked branches stretch o'erhead
And crisp leaves crackle under tread;
When winter mutes the songbirds throats,
Save for few and frosty notes,
Be not deceived, for everywhere
Doth Nature for her change prepare,
New songs will sound, new bud be blown,
When Spring shall come TO claim It's own
And thou, within whose maiden breast
No lovers soul finds peace and rest;
Who feared not Loves name or dart,
'Iis winter weather with thy heart
All, self-deceived thy Spring must come,
The chords awake that now lie dumb
Break not, my heart, till time hath showr
II may claim thee for my own.

Rooms Ornamented With FIutter
ing Butterflies.

A novel idea for the ornamentation OF
an apartment is to fill the air with flutter-
ing butterflies of every hue. Get the
japanese napkins of stained paper or
squares of colored tissue paper. Two
colors can be used, one placed over the
other, to form the wings; when slightly
crimped and dashed with specks of
water-color they are improved. The
squares should be cut of the requisite size
and fastened with small clothes pin.
These must be painted brown and zoned
with yellow. Feelers of wire may be
added. The butterflies should be strung
at intervals on invisible wires placed at
uneven distances across the room. These
airy nothings tiutter like living things
with every passing zephyr. A bent pin
can be fastened to the center of the body
to secure them to the wire. They may
be also pinned on lace curtains or on
picture wires as if just alighting.-

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
Hammocles for Drapery.

The Mexican hammocks, or the ordi-
nary ones sold in the shops for about
dollar, can be utilized for drapery.
They come in good colors; combina-
tions Of black, yellow, red and blue.
Cut the mesh across at each end so as
to leave the twisted heads for tassels.
Pull the hammock out and stretch it as
much as possible. Turn the upper end
over, like a fringe work, and pass the
curtain rod, in aud out, through the
meshes. When hing, it may be neces =
sary to tack the meshes at intervals until
the hammock he's lost its stiffness. Loop
with the pieces of rope that come with
the hammock, and attach the twisted
ends as tassels. -HouseloJe.

THE CASE IN COURT.
The New Jersey Medical College Fight
ing the County Health Board.

Tie New Jersey Medical College Fight
ing the County Health Board.
Testimony was taken by United States
Supreme Court Commissioner Romance
yesterday in the case of Emil Kirchgess-
ner, NJ. D., against the County Board of
Health. On September last DIR. Kirch-
gessner filed his diploma, issued by the
New Jersey Medical College, with the
clerk of the County Board Of Health, to-
gether with an application for registry
and for permit to pactice. 1t was the
first diploma issued by this college, and,
as but little was known concerning the
institution, the application WAS denied.
The Doctor then took legal measures to
compel the Board to recognize him, hence
the litigation. In his testimony yester-
day The Doctor sets forth these facts. Ee
came to this country in 1870. and began
the study of pharmacy. In due time he
graduated from au Eclectic College in
Vermont, under which ne practiced in
New York and elsewhere. He entered
the New Jersey Medical College in Oc-
tober, 1883, and graduated.
He has an Office now at No. L. 116 Broad
way, New York, but intends to move to
this city in case he is successful in his
contest. The principal question involved
in the issue is the regularity OF the col
lege by which his diploma was issued.
The college was established under the
laws of 1870. Mr.. Winfield appears for
the Board, r. b. Seymour for the doctor.

PROFESSIONAL JOKES.
Some of the Tricks Stag Stage Peopl,
Play on Each Other.

Some of the Tricks Stag Stage People
Play on Each Other.
The various professions have their own
records of practical jokes, which too
often proceed from some serious or ma
licious purpose One such prank under
taken with vengeful design, was that of
the Belgian painter Wirtz, who, year
after year, sent pictures to the salon, only
to have them returned, as the judges,
whose duty it was to pass upou the pic
lures submitted, would have nothing to
do with him.
Finally, he became possessed of gem
uine Rubens, which he sent off TO the
talon bearing his own name. 1t was at
once sent back to him, and then, as the
phrase goes. he had the judges on the
hip, and could taunt them with not
knowing the work of a master when they
saw it,
Another such practical joke was played
upon the late Nine. Rudersdorff by Sir
Michael Costa. the conductor AT re-
hearsal one day the lady declared that she
could not sing her song as it was written,
but must have it transposed half a note
lower.
But, madam" said Costa, Consider
the inconvenience, especially to the wind
instruments, and particularly as all my
men cannot be counted upon to transpose
at sight"
Struggling his shoulders, bowed in acqui-
escence.
Every well, gentlemen" said he, turn
ing to the bewildered orchestra, and
closing his score. Tomorrow you will
play it a note lower"
The next day, however. just before
Nine. Rudersdortf came on to sing. Costa
whispered to the orchestra:-"ln the
original key No change" And so it
was sung.
At the close of the air the singer turned
to Costa and thanked him warmly.
Il am charmedW she said.
Madame" replied Costa with touch
Of pleasant irony, 1--WE are also charmed.
You sang it in the original key"
Had Nine. Rudersdortf's ear been as
unerringly correct as that of certain phe-
nomenal musicians the joke could never
have been successfully carried out, but
the conductor, of course, knew with
whom he had to deal.-Yolsth's Conn

Rose Madden, pretty but wayward
brunette, of No 1888 First street, whom
Judge Stilsing dealt leniently with short
while ago on charge of being drunk and
disorlerly, tainted and fell to the floor Of
the crowded police court room this morn
ing while standing before the bar for the
same otfense.
Roses first offence was a disorderly

who had succeeded in getting her in an
intoxicated condition and leading her
into contact with number of fast
women.
When first arraigned before Justice
Stilsing another woman bearing traces
of lost beauty through dissipation, scant-
lily attired. was arraigned on the same
charge. Only year ago she was a we'll
known beauty.
Justice Stilsing feelingly referred to
her downward career and adroitly at
tempted to impress a lesson on the mind
of Rose Madden, who sat near by, appal-
elled in silks and fur-trimmed robes.
When the Judge fixed his eyes upon the
prisoner this morning and asked her
what she had to say for herself,
the luminous black eyes OF
Rose lowered, deathly pallor crept
over her handsome face, and swayiug for
a moment from side to side, fell heavily
to the floor.
She was taken back to the prisoners
room and cared for till she was able to
again appear before the Judge.

Greenwald retired at one O'Clock and
slept restlessly until four o'clock this
morning, when he awoke of his own ac-
cord just as Warden Brymer entered his
cell Greenwall greeted the warden with
much cheerfulness and asked about the
weather.

"nor ever loved life so well as do today"
He engaged inreligious exercises with
evident sincerity and preserved O fair
share of calmness, though, as the last
minutes slipped away, his face grew
paler and his lips became livid and dry.

the anticipation was worse than the
reality and he subsequently asked the

smoke, and he was furnished with some
cigars, one of which he smoked with
much relish, occasionally dropping a re-
mark.
He said he thought he could die as
game as Carlton.
