Fruit Glaze

Being sweet, it tickles the palate; but
being expensive, it is used only as a con-
lection, although if the manufacture Of
these candied fruits was taken up more
extensively by California men, instead Of
being left almost entirely to the French,
it could be made an article of dessert on
every table.
The modus operandi, in principle, is
simple, but it requires a skill and delicacy
only obtainable by experience, and which
is difficult to precisely define. The prin-
ciple is to extract the juice from the fruit
and replace the same with liquid sugar,
which hardens and prevents decay and
fermentation, besides retaining the Origi-
lal shape and consistence OF the fruit.
1t is necessary that the article to be
glazed be fresh, clear Of decay, and evenly
and of the correct ripeness, the latter
being OF the greatestimportance as tex
cludes from the process much OF the fruit
that is sold in. market, or is canned or
dried

A Refuge for the Poor.

n NCLuSC 1Ol GuC 4 OOA'
Tom Sawyer, the able Alliance editor
OF the Marion Free Press, has most
original way OF expressing himself, and
quite a forcible one, too. He says: 1t
requires constant struggle to advance
in this life, and the man or the communi-
ty who thinks that fortune comes to him
who waits, will die waiting. Push.
push, push, is the word, and if you go to
sleep you will fall behind. The people of
the South are finding this out, and have
adopted the Yankee method, which re-
quires very much more enterprise, less
dignity, more early rising, greater en-
deavor, more advertising and a little
more Icing. The present method of
pushing a country will not admit of the
whole truth, the emigrant is expected to
keep his eye open and learn a few things
for himself. He must be lively and be
good at guessing We are told that it is
not well to relate all the evil about a
country when we are naming it's good
qualities-let men find those things out
for themselves We cannot indorse that
as principleto live by, and it is possibly
a poor investment when you undertake
to lay up treasure away from the moth,
or the rust, and the devilish cockroaches.
The man who expects paradise in Flor
ida is a candidate for disappointment,
hut there are many features about our
State that make it place OF refuge for
the poor man.
Some men do succeed wonderfully here,
while some utterly fail. One man plants
him a grove and in a few years he is we'll
off, but his next neighbor probably has
an experience entirely the opposite. One
man loses his stock while nothing ever
seems to harm the owner OF the very next
quarter section-and so it goes. One
man can make $4,000 on pineapples and
another an equal sum on cabbages-all
in one year, but another poor devil fails
to strike it right. Such are the ups and
downs Of farming in Florida, but no man
need fear to try. The reward is to him
who works intelligently, both in raising
and marketing his crop.
1t is wonderful how some men coin
money On little tracts of land. The
trouble generally is that the farmer over
does the thing and fails. He tries to
make on ten acres what he ought to pro-
duce on two, consequently he often sees
no reward for his work.
The vegetable business in Florida is
only beginning-if we can ever get fair
dividend from the transportation compa-
MES.
The Alliance will settle that before
long.
