CANNING FOOD.

The Preservation of Small Fruits, vege-
tables and Meats.
1t is we'll known that the destruction of
germs and the exclusion of air are requi-
sites in the preservation of food by the proc
states in The Ladies' Home Journal that If
these be properly attended to no preserva-
tive need be added, except to give flavor.
Some substances require long exposure to
high temperature before all the germs
are destroyed, while others need only to be
heated to the boiling point, and then be
boiled for minute or two. Nearly all
small fruits are easily preserved by thor
oughly heating and then canning. The
larger kinds require longer time for the
heat to penetrate every part. Some vege-
tables. such as peas, beans, corn, etc., re-
quire long exposure to a high tempera-
ture. Meats are still more difficult to keep,
and it is the practice to add a chemical to
the water in which the cans stand that the
temperature may be raised to degree even
higher than that Of boiling water.
The essential things in canning fruit are
to have the jars and covers hot, and the
fruit boiling hot. The jars also should
stand perfectly level; fill them with fruit
and juice, passing silver knife between
the can and the fruit that all the spaces
may be filed with the juice Now pour in
strip until it runs over the top of the jar;
seal at once When the jars are cold set
them in cool, dry, dark place. Fruit is
always better favored when sugar is put
with it; the amount is matter of taste.
To preserve fruit sirups prepare the fruit
as for jellies. Strain the juice and put on
to boil. To each pint of juice add half a
pound of sugar; boil for fifteen minutes,
stirring we'll; bottle and seal while boiling

Bodies at the Bottom of the Sea.

There is a common notion that human
body or even a ship will not sink to the
bottom of the profounder abysses of the
oceans, but will on account of the density
of the waters at great depth remain sus-
pended at some distance above the surface
of the earth. A writer in Scribner's
Monthly explains that this is an error. No
other fate awaits the drowned sailor or his
ship than that which comes to the marine
creatures who die on the bottom of the
sea. In time their dust all passes into the
great storehouse Of the earth, even as those
who receive burial on land. However deep
the sea, it is but few hours before the
body of a man who finds his grave in the
ocean is at rest upon the bottom. 1t there
receives the same swift service from the
agents which in the order of nature are APP
pointed to care for the dead as comes to
those who are reverently inhumed in
blessed ground. All save the hardest parts
Of the skeleton are quickly taken again
into the realm of the living, and even
those more resisting portions of the body
in time are in large part appropriated by
the creatures of the sea floor, SO that be-
fore the dust returns in the accommodating
water to the firm. set earth, it may pass
through an extended cycle of living forms.

Next to the report on production and
wages in New York, which is compiled
from the replies of protected manufac-
turers to Peck's implied question, "How
are you and your employees getting on

sons letter of acceptance is just now at
tracing more attention from Republic
ans than any other document. With
such ammunition as this the. double

tions-will have no trouble in dispers-

Teak wood is known to be undoubtedly
superior to all other woods for shipbuild-
ing purposes. The Industrial World tells
that this superiority is due to the fact that
teak wood contains an essential oil which
prevents spikes and nails driven into 1t
from rusting This property is not pos
sessed by any other wood in the world, and
furnishes an explanation of the fact that
ships built of teak are practically lnde-
structible. Some have been known to last
$50 years, and when broken up their beams
were as sound as when first put together.

The most beautiful mother of pearl, un-
less that of the obalone be excepted, is OBJ
tanned, according to The Manufacturers
Gazette, from the nautilus, which is
cephelon and related to the cuttlef1sh. o.
cupying only the mouth Of its dwelling,
the latter is composed of series of empty
chambers, each of which the animal has
successfully lived in and vacated as it
grew bigger, building up behind it at each
move wall of purest pearl. These vacant
rooms of pearl are all connected by a
pneumatic tube, which enables the crea-
ture to SO control the air supply to its house
as to make the domicil lighter or heavier
at will, in order to ascend or descend in
the water. The shell is too thin to bear
grinding, and SO muriatic acid is used to
remove the outer coat and disclose the ex-
uuisite nacre beneath.

Peeling Tomatoes.

The skin of the tomato is very tough and
disagreeable, and it's presence in tomato
salad is decided drawback to that dainty
dish. The ordinary process of peeling is,
however, accompanied with much diff.
Guilty, SO that it may be of interest to oui
readers to know better method, espec.
tally when tomatoes are to be peeled in
large quantity for canning. Drop the to
matoes into boiling water, remove after
few seconds immersion, and the skin will
come off without any trouble whatever
The reason of this, of course, is that the
heat of the water acts on the skin and
causes it to expand before it has time te
affect the fruit itself, hence the skin be
comes detached and can be peeled off with
out great difficulty.

SLAVES IN ATTENDANCE ON THE QUEEN.

SLAVES IN ATTENDANCE ON THE QUEEN.
The peculiar habit of some ants is their
disposition to furnish their own habitation
with slaves at the expense of neighboring
communities. They assemble in large
numbers and set out on marauding expe-
ditions, capturing nests by assault and
carrying off the slaves and young in the
teeth Of opposition, to be brought up in
their own colony to work for their captors
|. Another curious and interesting habit Of
some ants is their cultivation of the ant
COW, an insect from which they obtain a
kind of honey The COWS are not admitted
to the habitation of the ants, but have a
separate establishment built for them by
their masters, who rear their young with
as much care as they bestow on their own.
The ant COW derives the milk that it yields
from the sap of plants which it sucks. and
its master frequently depends almost en-

For Polishing Floors.

For polishing floors The Industrial World
recommends to throw permanganate OF
potash crystals into a pail of boiling water,
and apply the mixture as hot as possible
to the floor with large fiat brush. If the
stain produced is not dark enough, apply
one or two more coats, as desired, leaving
each wash to dry thoroughly before apply
ing another. If it is desired to polish the
surface with beeswax, coat of size should
be applied to the boards before staining
as this gives depth and richness to the
color. After three or four days polish
well with a mixture of turpentine and
beeswax A few cents will cover the cost
of both size and permanganate of potash.

The Brutal Dove.

Naturalists are aware of the sentimental
error which typifes gentleness in the dove
and have often remarked its ferocity, &C
cording to a correspondent of Science, who
supports this idea by the following evil
dence
About twenty-one years ago mature
male dove flew into the house of Mr.. Paul
Closius. of Chicago and soon became quite
domesticated Old Tom, as he is called,
was rescued from the great fire of the fol-
lowing October, and later was given fe-
male mate, which he pecked to death.
Thinking thatit might be an instance of
incompatibility, he was given another,
which he tormented, neglected and abused
until she also persisted. This instance also
confirms the belief that doves are long
! lived

Care of Carvers.

Fine carvers should be treated with the
same respect as fine razors. They should
be laid always by themselves. On no &C
count should the edge Of one carver touch
that of another carver, nor should it touch
any other hard substance.
A carver must always be sharpened on
it's steel before it is offered for use, unless
a contrary direction is given, and when
necessary should be taken without delay
to the shop of careful workman to have
the edge renewed.
1t is safest to replace carvers in theil
own cases. When they are laid in 9

Peaches or apricots are peeled, cut in

sugar; blanch the kernels Of half dozen
stones, add them to the fruit; boil not less
than five and net more than ten minutes;

can then be boiled down till the necessary
reduction has taken place. Pour little
over the fruit, the rest in the dish, and
serve either just hot or quite cold.
