Keeping cider Sweet.

Cider to be kept unfermented should
be made as late in autumn as possible
as it would be difficult to keep from fer
menting when made early in the season
November made cider, if bunged up
tight and stored where a temperature
near the freezing point can be maintained,
will probably keep sweet indefinitely.
Some people put in a half pound or a
pound of mustard seed to the barrel OF
cider and others use snlphite of lime in
the same way. The old time method Of
scalding is considered by many people
one of the best and least Objectionable
methods.
We see this described as follows:
When the cider has slightly fermented
it should be drawn or dipped from the
casks where it has been standing ia
settle into large copper kettles or an old
copper still, and be heated just up to the
boiling point and no longer, when il
should be again put into open casks to
settle and become cold 1t will then be
ready to be tightly bunged in barrels
and stored away. During the heating a
large quantity of scum will rise to the
top to be SKINNED off, and during the
cooling most of the impurities still held
in solution will be deposited as sediment
in the bottom of the casks.-Populal

Miss Horton Seeking votes.

For the first time in the history Of
Westchester comfy woman is candi-
date for the Office of school commission
er. At the Republican convention in
the Fifth Avenue Opera house, Mount
Vernon, Miss Lavinia M. Horton, of Port
Chester, was unanimously nominated as
the candidate in the First district, which
has forty schools and 1856 teachers. The
commissioners salary is 81 200 year.
Miss Horizons political career dates
back three years ago, when she was elect
ed a member Of the board of education.
The second year of her term she was elect
ed president Of the board, and in that
capacity her success has been marked.
This fall she was reelected to the board
Of education for term Of three years,
and was again made president of that or
ganization.-N ew York Sun.

velocity of NIeteorites.

The singular fact has been demon
strated that, while the most rapid veloc-
ity of cannon balls scarcely ever attain a
speed Of 600 meters a second-about 500
miles per hour-meteorites are known to
permeate the air with a velocity of 40
600 or even 10000 meters per second.
This unthinkable speed instantly raises
the temperature of the air to 1000 OF
5000 degrees centigrade.- st. Louis Re

MlnneapoIls Larger Than ParIs.

The existing Paris covers 1925 acres,
or about thirty square miles, while met
ropolitan London, with 1000, 900 popula-
ton. contains 118 square miles, and Chi
,cago provides an area about as extensive
for /, 100000. The average distance from
the center of Paris to the circumference
is only three miles Minneapolis, with
only 1856, 600 people, has municipal area
more than twice as large as that Of Paris.
Almost the entire population Of Paris is
housed in the flats of tenement struc-
lures averaging from four to five stories
in height
According to the revised figures of the
census of 1886 there were nearly 5000
houses in Paris, and the average number
of people in a house was about thirty.
In the old ACCOMPLISHMENTS of the inner
Paris there are probably about $4,000
houses, accommodating about 100000
people
For total contrast in the plan of
house construction we have only to cross
the channel and to examine London,
where we find an average of about eight
persons to a house for the whole metrop-
oils. But the people of Paris are better
housed, all things considered, than those
of London. A population of $780, 00O
within circle whose radius is ouly three
miles is certainly very dense, but it must
be remembered that Paris is a many
storied city.-Dr. Albert Shaw in Cen

Nearly every housekeeper has many
garments spotted with ink. Here is a
good way to get the ink out. Ink spots
may be removed from linen with tartaric
acid while wet. To remove ink from
cotton, silk or wooden goods, saturate the
spot with spirits Of turpentine and let it
remain several hours; then rub between
the hands. 1t will crumble away with
out injuring the color or texture of the
article.-New York Journal

Air ships to DE operated by Electrlcltv.

AIR Ships to BE Operated by Electricity.
The advocates of the possibility of nav
igating the air by means of electricity
have taken the first step toward putting
their ideas into practical shape by the
formation of a company with a capital
of 0,OOO,O 600 having for its object the
building and operating of electrical air
ships. The company is to carry on its
work in Chicago, and promises to have a
car ready in six months. The proposed
ship resembles the hull of an ordinary sea
vessel. 1t requires only two men to oper-
ate it. The motive power is supplied by
storage batteries, which work system
of wings and propellers, and also act
as ballast. The driver or motorneer or
pilot" takes his place in front Of the
car, and controls its course by a series of
levers and switches. New York Com

The Chambers Country Members.

Inc CHAMBERS Country McmDerS'
That is a marked advance which the
Chamber Of Commerce of this city has
made IN calling into its counsels about two
hundred citizens of agricultural Virginia.
These have been elected "a non-resi-
dent members" and we believe that II VIII
prove 10 be valuable connection Tor
them. especially when the Chamber comes
TO be installed in its new home at the
southwest corner of Main and Ninth
streets. and equips itself with reading
room and puts into operation other plans
for entertaining visitors to the city.
These gentlemen can help us, and we
can help them and their people. IL IS de-
sirable 10 draw city and country commu-
mites into closer relationship. There are
preiudices that ought to be removed.
There is work That's we ought to unite IN
doing. There are mutual interests which
we ought TO organize TO protect.
II is an opening for better understand
ing, and we trust the beginning OF new
era for the two great industrial classes OF
the Old Dominion.
The Chambers object is general, not
special. II has mo axe to grind" we
state this positively, and we know that
tins movement IS the result OF steps taken
twelve months ago. Richmond wants the
goodwill of the counties. SO. when we
know them and they know us better 1t Will
be of mutual advantage.
By securing these members the Chamber
enlarges its sphere of usefulness and sdds
to its power for good, and we hope to see
it grow into q great Family Council, where
many of the best men in the State will
gather to talk over business prospects and
devise improved ways and means of pro-
noting the public welfare.

The Death Penalty.

II seems impossible TO devise any CON-
Portable and popular method of executing
murderers.
The axe was dropped because sometimes
the officer of tho law got so nervous that
he had TO make two or more strokes with
IL before the head was severed from the
trunk. and because the public while not
opposed TO the taking Of life was averse
70 the shedding Of blood.
Then the rope and scaffold came into
general use. and here it sometimes hap
pened that the victim was too feeble to
stand on his feet and had to be carried to
his place. and very recently in southern
State respite was granted prisoner be-
cause he was too i'll to stand up on the
trap-door.
II has also frequently occurred that
the moose was unskilfully made, or that
the rope broke under its weight, or that
the fall was too great or too little. At one
hanging in this city the rope broke; at
another !. was so long that the miscreant's
feet touched the ground. What has hap
pened in Virginia has likewise happened in
New York. With varying lectures Of hor-
