INDIANA NOTES.
FROM j. H. HEWITT.

Bro. Jas. Hudson of Columbia City,
who has lately been licensed, will preach
at Boston on the fourth Sunday of No
vember both morning and evening, and
on Monday evening following at Dublin.
Rev. T. S. Guthrie has moved into
the new parsonage at Logansport. They
will have a "house warming" about
Thanksgiving time. Recently Gilbert
Linton was home from Galesburg, and
preached very acceptably for Bro.
Guthrie.
Rev I'll. o. Sommers, of indianapolis,
has been putting the latent energies of
some of his laymen to good use. On al
terlate Sunday evenings, instead of the
sermon, one of the members of the con-
gregation reads paper. So far Bros.
Charles Styer, T. j. Water and H. X.
Mihouse have delivered addresses.
Rev. c. F. Bushnell will preach the
remainder of the year on the Hunter
town circuit, made vacant by the resig-
nation of Rev. James Houghton to &C.
cept call to Brookston. Bro. Bushnell
had fair congregations at Cromwell last
Sunday. The Ladies' Aid Society of this
church intend to organize shortly.
Bro. Bushnell will preach Thanksgiv.
ing sermon at Claypool on fourth Sun
day.
Our ideal of pastoral circuits will be
realized when the country and village
churches pair off, and employ minister
for the whole time; when they unite
and build parsonage at the most con-
venient point. Then one church may
have regular services every Sunday
morning. and the other every Sunday
evening. To this should be added a
Sunday school throughout the year, and
Y. P. G. U. that meets as often as
twice a month. This will enable the
minister to be present at all business

We have always been glad that Bro,

Process of Drying Fruits.

The latest report Of the Bureau of
Statistics gives some interesting figures
on the fruit trees of California. There
are 1000, coo. apricot trees and 9, $780,
900 apple trees bearing fruit, 5.O00,-
900 peach. and altogether 81 1000, 900
fruit trees, or an area Of 100, 900 acres.
That gives half an acre of fruit to
every man. Pears grow all over the
State, and the pear is the most pro-
ductive and healthy of California fruit
trees. Near<San Jose there are some
pear trees that produce $500 pounds
Of fruit a season, or forty bushels.
The earliest and latest fruit is shipped
East, the n take a large quar-
:ity, while millions of pounds are dried.
The process of drying has changed
within recent years. Formerly large
quantities of fruit were dried by ma
%chinery, but now the machines are
abandoned or only employed when the
moisture in the air prevents perfect
curing. In drying in the open air
the peaches and apricots are cut in
half and spread upon trays about three
feet square the cut side of the fruit
being uppermost. The fruit is then
exposed to the fumes Of burning sui
phur for three quarters of an hour.
The fumes prevent oxidation and
preserve the natural color of the fruit,
which otherwise would become dark
and u~nattractive In appearance. Two
to fonr days are required to thoroughly
cure them. When the curing process
is complete the fruit is covered up and
dropped quickly In hot water. IN order
tokill the eggs of insects that may
have been deposited there in thou
sands Then the fruit is packed AMI
shipped TO the canners.-New York

Virtues of Hot Baths.

Warm baths Will often prevent the
most virulent diseases. A person who
may be in fear of having received in
lection Of any kind should take a
warm bath, suffer Precipitation to en-

to dress warmly to guard against TAX
ing cold. Il the system has imbibed
any infectious matter it will be re-
moved by resorting to the warm bath
ifthe latter is taken before the infec-
ton has had time to spread over the
system; and even if some time has
elapsed, the drenching perspiration
that maybe induced by hot water will
be very likely to remove it. In cases
of congestion, bilious collie, infam.

certain to give relief than a hot bath.

pressure down to OF near that OF the
atmosphere, nature having done all
the preliminary work of compression
and cooling, maslug the gas ready to
absorb heat from It's surroundings i'm

with an ordinary gas we'll, furnishing

about fifty cents a ton. The gas

all its virtue for rolling mill and glass
works use, for heating brick, lime and

of other furnacesto which 1t is adapted.
