SIMPLE METHOD OF PRESERVING FRUIT.
A writer in a foreign journal says that
be has preserved large quantities OF
fruit, every season for more than forty
years in pure water only. The fruit is
placed in wide-mouthed bottles up to
the neck; then water is poured in to
cover the fruit; the bottles are then
placed in heat-where they remain until
near the boiling point. They are then
put aside to cool, and when quite cold
small quantity of olive oil is gently
poured into each bottle; they are then as
gently put on a shelf in cool, dry
pantry, where no scrubbing ogre is al
lowed to disturb them, until they are
wanted for use. The mouths of the
bottles are left uncovered and uncorked;
the oil keeps out the air efectually.
The only failure he has had for many
years was when three bottles of Orleans
plums fermented. They were quite
ripe when bottled, and it should be
borne in mind that there is a point
where ripeness ends and decay COM
mences. The writer docs not hesitate,
be adds, to use old pickle-bottles, and
even glass jars that have come with
French plums; but he prefers bottles,
fo1 when the water reaches halfway up
to the neck, only small quantity of oil
is required.-Neao York Witness.

LARGE AND SMALL NURSERY TRIES.
Every intelligent nurseryman has had
customers who wants ''large trees" to
set out. A purchaser once said to the
nurseryman: II want big trees, none of
your puny ones; I may not live long
enough for the small trees to bear" He
took all the large trees he could find.
In three years he called again. 81 sup
pose" said the nurseryman, "that you
wish only large trees: can supply you"
"No,' said the purchaser, 81 don't want
any of your monsters. I've had enough
of them; they either died or made no
growth-not one grew half as we'll as
the small ones. Give me your small,
thrifty trees; they are the ones for me-"
The truths, no nurseryman can afford
to dig up half the large and long roots of
the large trees, which have already run
many feet in every direction, land they are
cut off to mere stubs. Years ate required
for them to recover from the shock of re-
moval, even if they grow at all. The
small and thrifty ones are removed with
large portionof their young roots, and
are scarcely checked by the removal.
They cost less in digging, less in pack
ing, less in freight and express charges,
and less in setting out.-Ihe Country

The banquet hall at the Pickwlck was
lined with three long tables, where sal
the lights of the Texas medical profess
sion and some of the ladies of the state
and the city. 1t was pretty scene
when the guests found their seats
and began systematically to lose
their appetites. Tie tables were decor
ated with potted flowers and huge mon
uments of frosted cake. Laughter and
light both outside the banquet hall and
in was the order, only the fortunate ones
laughed best and the merriment con-
tinUed longest.
The toasts were happy and happily
not over long, and the menu in the
Pickwiok' $ best style was not to be
overlooked. During the entire evening

sweet music. The following selections

another tent, but she refused,
and he seemed chsgrined at her
action. He and a son retired to a wagon
near by. Between and Is O'Clock this
morning the old man arose and taking q
revolver in his hand stole to the tent
where his wife and two daughters were
sleeping and without word of warning
he pointed the revolver at the head OF
his wife and pulled the trigger. The ball
entered her head and killed her instantly
as she slept. The old man then
fired a second time, but this
time the bullet passed between
his wife and one OF his daughters
and lodged in the mattress. Palmer
then rushed out of the tent and putting
the muzZle of the revolver between his
teeth, was about TO pull the trigger,
W hen his son, who had been aroused by
the former reports, hurried out.
Seeing his father with the revolver
in his hand he sprang upon him ana
succeeded in wrestling the weapon from
him before he COULD do himself harm,
and the weapon fell upon the ground.
The two men then began q desperate
struggle. They both fell, first one
and then the othsr being on top. As they
rolled about, suddenly the old man was
placed in such position that he could
reach the pistol when he grasped IT and
placing the muZZle against the base OF
his brain he pulled the trigger and
fell back apparently Iifeless. Help ar
rived and physician was summoned.
but he declared that the woman was
dead, and that her husband could not
recover. One of the daughters made
thCse. attempts to drown herself
during the morning but was prevented.
Mrs. Palmer is said to have wealthy
relatives in Boston, apd has daughter
married to hotel proprietor i'll Brook
Ign. They came to this country from
England about four years ago.

The Tariff BIZ.
Special to the Gazette.

Especial to the Gazette.
= WASHINGTON, April 24.-The provis-
ions of the tariff bill are thoroughly well
known, and the chief merit claimed for
it by its friends Is that it will reduce the
revenues of the government some $50, -
600, 900 annually and afford a maximum
protection to infant industries. This de-
ponds, however, on the manner of levy
ing increased duties. Trainers of the
bill are not against giving the
manufacturers, the monopolists
and the trust ssgangs increased
revenues. Another presidential cam
paIgn is coming not far off; more ''fat''
will have to be 'sfried'' out of the pro-
tected pleutocrats to meet campaign exSS
penses, and while the tariff reformers
have spent anxious days and nights in
the struggle to satisfy conflicting in
terests, they have mot been able to do
so. The sugar ref1ners and growers are
rebellious at the out on the sugar duty
demanded by Western farmers; the tan
ner's and shoe manufacturers of the
on hides, which the Western cattle
barons demanded and obtained. The
wooden carpet manufacturers say they
will be ruined by the higher tax imposed
on wool at the diotation of Western sheep
raisers. There will be aNchorus of pro-
tests against the bill from such inffuen-
tial Republican journals as the Boston
Advertiser, the New York Press, the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat and the Chi
cago Tribune

revivin the old story of the transfer of she

and although no tangible information
on the subject could be obtained, there is
nevertheless some foundation for the story
Several capitalists in this city, whose names for
the present are kept profound secret, have been
in communication with the hackers Of the

steamer has at last reached the real point of
Distress Phe boat had stormy passage up the
river, and after many delays in furnishing as
sistance to weak and breaking levees in West
Baton Rouge reached Bayou Sara yesterday
evening. She has made the trip to Pointe
Coupee, and has come back to Bayou Sara. Her
arrival was a God-send to the people, whose
lives in jeopardy, for she has not only al
ready saved an incalculable amount of property,
but goodly number of lives. The real condi-
ton of things in the overlooked district is just
coming TO light. No pen is equal to the task of
picturing the devastation OF the country or the
restitution of the people. The entire front OF
Pointe Coupee is under water. The most of the
leyees have gone, of course. The entire stretch
of the eighteen miles OF frontage has not been
swept away, but crevasses are so nu-
the situation is about as bad as it possibly could
be. All that remains now are strips OF leveeS
here and there, showing above the flood. The
water back of the levees Is so deep now that

stretches of leVees still standing are crowded
with horses and mules and cows At Calcasleu
place, several miles above Bayou Sara, the
water is waist deep at the base of the levee. In
an old raised ginhouse 500 negroes were found
huddled together, while hundreds of heads of
stock are standing in water up TO their neckS.
The condition OF the unfortunate blacks was
pitiable. The water was gradually rising, and
their horror knew no bounds, They were afraid
of their lives and were piteously begging to be
taken to some place of safety. The Texas and

sJob'' Is the Greatest Book.


t'What is the greatest book in the En-

The senator reflected a moment and
then. stepping over to bookcase and
taking down a small Bible, said:
'sThe book of Job is the oldest and, in
my judgment. the highest production OF
the human intellect. It is specially in
teresting because il shows that humanity
at the dawn of history was engaged in
considering the same problems that per-
pick US now-immortality the existence
of evil, the Affections and misfortunes OF
the good in the world and the prosperity
or the wicked. We have made no pro-
gress in solving these Froblems. The
barriers are insurmountai5le. The CEN
turtles are silent. The soul struggles.
aspires, beats its wingaagainst the bars,
hutters and disappears. -
