TO KEEP GOOD CIDER.
II Can BE Preserved in a Sweet State 70,
Six Months.

Six Months.
The first point in preserving cider is
to have cider that is worth preserving,
says the American Cultivator. Cider
from sound and well-ripened fruit will
keep good much longer than that
made from unripe fruit early in the
season, or from rotten fruit. A new
liquor cask Is better than an old cask
that has been used before, rs the spirit
that has soaked into the wood ..
creases the alcohol in the cider and
thus delays the second or ncetous
fermentation, which would change
it into vinegar. An oil barrel is liked
by many, as the oil rises to the upper
surface of the cider and excludes the
air from it, which also hinders fer
mentation. But when the last of the
cider is drawn out it has an oily taste.
If it is necessary to use an old caslt
which has had cider in it before, it
should first be thoroughly rinsed out
with clear water, and handful of
gravel stones should be put In along
with more water, and the barrel
should be placed upon one head and
then the other, then upon the side,
and well shaken in each position to
dislodge any dregs or settings that
may adhere there. Next put in a
pound of saleratus or baking soda.
and pour kettle of boiling water
upon that and put in the bung and
shake it again, so that the soda water
will reach every part of it. After this
rinsing out again with clear water
will probably leave a clean barrel on
the inside. Some like to burn a rag
which has been dipped in melted sui
p!iur in the barrel just before filing,
allowing the smoke of the birthstone
to ill the barrel as much as possible
by standing it on one end and holding
the rag In the bung until it is half
burned, then reversing the barrel.
This is of no use unless done just be-
fore the filling begins. Fill as quickly
as possible, and set the barrel in cool
place TO work, leaving the bung out,
but putting mosquito netting over the
bunghole to keep out insects and ver-
min. When it has worked clear. bung
up tightly and allow it to remain so,
only giving little air when necessary
to draw it out. Cider so handled
should keep for six months, at least,
as sweet as it was when bunged up,
and the bunging may be fastened or
delayed according as one likes sweet
cider or some that has a little sparkle
to it. Those who want it perfectly
sweet bung it up without working at
all and strain their cider through
sand as they put it in. After it is two
or three months old, it may be bottled
and kept for years, if desired, growing
| better by age

AN EVERYDAY AFFAIR.

How the Passengers on Elevated TrainI
Cultivate Forgiving Spirit.
II was late in the afternoon. Two
long lines of weary pedestrians were
laboriously moving up the stairs TO the
Congress street station, creaking turn
stiles were nabbing impatient and UNI
wary mortals, and the platform was
crowded. The few benches provided
for the accommodation of waiting pas
scngers were more than full. The in.
coming train deposited its load on the
east side, and then the gates changed
and the crowds IN adc rush from the
west side.
There were, of course. three times as
many passengers us the cars could
seat. The long train of people that
could not find a resting place in the
first car fastened along the aisle and
boarded the next. What IL" traveller
has not taken part in this hopeless
chase for a seat?
1t was the popular home-going hour,
and the seats in the two rear cars were
all occupied. The line of disconsolate
passengers with long-drawn and anx-
ious faces continued on it's way. In
this line four members were particular
~ noticeable for their anxiety to gain
seats. The last carried a large, black
gripsack that bumped against the legs
of those whom he rushed past. Another
bore an umbrella under his arm. The
man before the latter carried large
cardboard box, and the one ahead of
him was burdened with basket.
Fate was against them. They ira
versed three cars and not a vacant seat
was in sight. Close upon one another's
heels they rushed through the ears,
and lines of Disappointment grew deep
er on their long-drawn visages.
They had stormed through the fourth
car with ever-increasing speed, and now
plunged into the fifth. Here crowd
of passengers bound on the same quest
came fastening in their direction.
There was sudden collision. A hope
less tumble resulted. To increase the
confusion the train started at that very
moment.
The eager four could not check their
speed. The man with the basket was
thrown back upon his ncighbor. The
basket acted as buffer on the latter.
and he was hurled back upon the one
following him. His box of thick card
board caught the victim in the ribs,
making the man give vent to groan of
pain. The umbrella of this man struck
his pursuer and almost doubled him up
and the fourth mans gripsack barlSed
the shins of the man behind him and
made him grit his teeth in agony.
The faces of the four men turned to
the right as though they were weather.

his neighbor.
Excuse me-" said the second.

amicably. He was the man with the

On account of the avidity with
which bees take salt. had supposed
it as necessary to salt my horses, hogs
and cattle, says writer. If one does
not keep salt trough for the bees
they are apt to swarm about his stock
and well troughs and many are
drowned; but SO long as salt water is
given them they do not go or bother
anywhere else. Where there are
streams or ponds convenient. bees,
especially if not sailed, will resort to
these for water: but even there are
certain spots that seem to yield min
eral or braclsish water they go to
suck. This shows their need of some
thing more than ordinary pure water,
and since they leave all other water
ing places for a salty one, we can fair
ly conclude that it is best to give It.

A STYLISH BACK.

stoop Shoulders Do Not Go Well with This
Seasons Fashions.
Cultivate an air"
Cultivate back. The STYLES of this
winter are not meant for stoop-should-
cred persons or rounded backs. OF
course such women can try to wear
them, but no matter how rich the
gowns and wraps, they will not have
any style or "air' about their appear
ance.
An "air'' is the best endowment a
woman mag have. She may be rich,
but a failure in appearance. She may
be given face like Il houri's, but if
she hasn't an ''air" she isn't a complete
success.
One important feature of an ''air" is
a "back." A back" is within reach of
almost any woman. When you have
learned how to stand, every morni ng
after your bath take the correct stand
ing position. Ifyou have chest weights,
use those. If not, throw the shoulders
firmly back till the blades almost meet.
Do that number of times. Then put
them well back, draw u deep, full
breath and make the rotary motion
with the shoulder joint that is made in
rowing. Repeat this whole programme
dozen times.
Preserve the correct position of the
knees, legs, back and shoulders when
walking, and remember to think while
you are walking and draw deep, long
breaths very often. Persist in this and
you will be surprised to see the change
in the shape of your back. Instead OF
padding the top of the backs of your
dresses because the curves are low down
even with the bust line your dress
maker will be compelled to omit it and
fit the backs Of your dresses to give
you more breathing space.
You will be on the road to acquiring
that fine shapely back which is the re.
ward of women who spend dollars in
gymnasiums and swimming baths to
acquire it. Insist, moreover, that your
dressmaker shall give you room across
the top of the backs of your dresses. II
you do this your waist will seem more
slender by contrast.
When you acquire back then you
may find yourself in the possession o.
the stylish appearance you have long
wanted. -Philadelphia Times.
