Keeping Cider sweet.

There are numerous methods given of
keeping the cider sweet in barrels. To
begin with, says The Rural New Yorker,
1t should be made from clean, sound
fruit and should be free from pomace or
sediment Never add any acids or any
Of the chemical preparations offered SO
freely nowadays. Keep in cool place.
In cool weather the cider may be kept
perfectly for long time by keeping it
where it will nearly freeze. Exposure to
the air hastens fermentation, so that it
is best to keep it from the air as much as
possible. In one method this is accom-
plished by putting in half a pint of
sperm or sweet oil warmed, whichspreads
over the top and excludes the air.
Another method is to fill the barrels
full, place in cool place, leave out the
bungs and allow the pomace and sedl-
ment to work out. keeping the barrels
always full, then bung up tightly. An
other method is to rack off the cider aft
err 1t has settled and put 1t in clean casks.
Some filter the cider through clean char
coal and sand. Another recommended
method is the addition of one-half pound
Of ground mustard and one pound Of
horse radish TO each barrel of cider with
In "a hours after the CIDER is made. Some

That Was the Way the Cornerstone of the
Staten Island Church Was Laid.

That Was the Way the Cornerstone of the
Staten Island Church Was Laid.
The LAYING of cornerstone at night is
the novel sight that was witnessed at
Stapleton, N. Y, the other evening, when
the construction of the new First Pres
byterian church was formally inaugu-
rated amid the glare of torches and cleo
trio lights.
The First Presbyterian church of Sta
pleton is one of the wealthiest and most
Fashionable congregations on Staten Is
land, but it has hitherto worshiped in a
small and unpretentious edifice. Recent
ly it decided to erect a new and hand
some church, to cost a large sum of
money. and the members hit upon the
novel plan of laying the cornerstone at
night to make the occasion memorable.
Electric lights strung were from diff
ferent points and in such manner as to
throw the full glare directly on the spot
where the cornerstone was placed. AS
the illumination, however, was hardly
strong enough to read by, number OF
people stood about the officiating clergy
men holding pine torches, thus enabling
the services to be carried out without
hitch.
Owing to the novelty of the idea of
LAYING cornerstone at night, there was
large attendance at the ceremony,
prominent society people from all parts
Of the island being present.-New York
Commercial Advertiser.

The Tower of silence.

The Parsees will not burn or bury
their dead, because they consider dead
body impure, and they will not suffer
themselves to detile any of the elements.
They therefore expose their corpses to
vultures. One sees nothing but the
quiet, white robed procession white is
mourning among the Parsees) following
the bier to the Tower of Silence. At the
entrance they look their last on the dead,
and the corpse bearers-a caste of such
carry it within the precincts and lay
it down, to be finally disposed of by the
vultures which crowd the tower.
Meanwhile, and for three days after,
the priests say constant prayers for the
departed, for his soul is supposed not tc
leave the world till the fourth day after
death. On the fourth day there is the
Uthanna ceremony, when large sums OF
money are given away in memory of the
departed. The liturgy in use is series
Of funeral sermons by zoroaster.
OF superstitions the Parsees have had
more than they retain. Connected with
burial is the popular conception as to the
efficacy of a dogs gaze after death.
Dogs are sacred and supposed to guide
the souls of the dead to heaven and tc
ward off evil spirits; hence it is custom.
airy to lead dog into the chamber Of
death, that he may look at the corpse
before it is carried to the tower.-Nine-
tenth Century.

Just as l supposed, Mr.. Jack Astor
has come out with fat footed denial
that he has given cent to his sister,
Mrs. Coleman Drayton. AS for the
house, everybody knew that was part
of the marriage settlement made by the
late Mr.. William Astor upon his daugh-
ter.
From the very emphatic denial Of Jack
Astor that he has anything to do with
setting his sister up in her old establish
ment at 374 Fifth avenue it does not
look as if he intended to do much in the
way of helping her along.
The Willie Wallie Astors, living as they
do at Cliveden and Lansdowne House
in England, scorn the whole business
and are probably only too delighted to
see "the'' Mrs. Astor, their esteemed
aunt, fixed in the very tight box she oc-
cupies at present.-Cholly Knickerbock-

Frenchwomen In Trousers.

For the privilege of wearing trousers
the French government charges women
a tax of from $40 to $12 year. This by
no means gives every woman who is
willing to pay the tax right to wear
trousers. The government instead con-
fers the right as tribute to great
merit. Trousers are, in fact, a sort of
decoration given to women as the ribbon
of the Legion of Honor is given to men.
The only women to whom has been
granted the right to wear trousers are
George Sand, Rosa Bonheur, Nine.

The prejudice against opals appears to
be disappearing. Anyhow they are pop
ular. There are several varieties of opals
and therefore several degrees of merit.
The precious, or noble, or oriental opal
is the supreme. This has all the colors.
and when these colors are broken into
spangles it is then called the harlequin
opal. Then comes the fire opal, or gira-
sole, with hyacinth red and yellow refiec-
ton. The former comes from Hungary.
the latter from Mexico. The common,
or semiopals, are nonopalescent. The ny
drophane. or oculus mundi, is nontrans-
parent, but becomes so by immersion
in water or any transparent fluid. The
cachalong is nearly Opaque and of a blu
ish white color. The hyalite is colorless,
pellucid and white. The opal jasper or
wood opal is the petrifaction of wood,
opalescent, but without the coloring
which makes the noble" gem so pre-
ous.-Chicago Tribune.

ELECTIONS IN CORSICA.


The Loss of a Life or Two Apparently Not
of Much Account.
The elections for the council general
were going on all over the island of Cor
sica. The canton of Soccia comprises
several villages, among others Guagno,
noted for its famous mineral springs
and also for the turbulence of its people.
The elections took place in each village,
and on the morrow the presidents of the
several bureaus were to meet at Soccia
for the formal declaration of the poll.
In consequence of certain disorders that
had already occurred, the mayor of Soc.
ella issued an edict to the effect that none
of the inhabitants of Guagno was to en-.
ter the village that day.
The inhabitants of Guagno chose to
ignore this order, and so of them, all
armed, and all angry that their candi.
date had been defeated, marched upon
Soccia, headed by their mayor. Two
gendarmes-no armed-had been placed
at the entrance of the village and warned
the advancing troops that they were tc

cried Fire. There was a general vol.
ley from his followers, and the two gen
darmes fell dead. "They both bore ex-
cellent characters. One of them had beer

for the military medal and leaves wife
and three children"
Such was the first account in the daily
paper of Bastia. 1t occupied about seven
inches of one column. The next day the
editor had had time to reflect Tor he, too,
may possibly have had significant

long the account was somewhat quail

stating that it was the mayor of Guagnc
who gave the order to fire upon the gen.
