TO KEEP GOOD OLDER.
II Can 10 Preserved in sweet Stats fol
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, as the spirit
that has soaked into the wood in
creases the alcohol In the cider and
thus delays the second or acetous
fermentation, which would change
1t 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 binders fer
mentation. But when the last Of the
cider Is drawn out 1t has an oily taste.
If 1t is necessary to use an old cask
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 we'll shaken In each position to
dislodge any dregs or settings that
may adhere there. Next put in q
pound of saleratus or baking soda,
and pour a 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
a rinsing out again with clear water
will probably leave clean barrel or
the inside. Some like to burn rag
which has been dipped in melted sui
phur In the barrel just before filing
allowing the smoke of the birthstone
to fill the barrel as much as possible
by standing 1t on one end and holding
the rag in the bung until 1t Is hal
burned, then reversing the barrel
This Is of no use unless done just be
fore the filling begins. Fill as quickl,
as possible, and set the barrel In COO
place to work, leaving the bung out
but putting mosquito netting over tn,
bunghole to keep out insects and yer

Digestion OF the Horse.

The digestion of the horse is like
that OF the human being, very liable
to get out of order. 1t requires atten-
ton, and the rules which need to be
observed are very simple. In proper
ton to his size and the work required
of him, the stomach of the horse is not
half so large as that of human be-
ing. If work is required of him when
he has had full meal he feels incon-
venience, yet not so much as other
quadrupeds, for his stomach is small
and the food passes rapidly through IT
and desOends to part of the intestines
distant from the diaphragm, and
where the existence and pressure OF
the food cannot cause him any annoy.

MISS ANNIE's SCHOOL.

While Johnie searches Asia DER,
To find the Hoang Ho,

That school of long ago.
II was no kindergarten shoot,
That child OF modern rule,
Academy nor institute,
But just Miss Annies school,"
Miss Annie face was round and fair,
Her eyes we're big and blue,
And everything, we did declare,
In all the world, she knew.
She always tried to make 1t clear,
With gentle word or kiss
'What country south Of Turkey, dear?"
Oh, Polly Ann will miss
But mol Miss Annie smiled. whats that

Each pencil sought Itasca lake,
And then we sailed away.
One blissful hour we journeyed south,
No craft so swift could run,
And then we landed at the mouth,
And lesson time was done.
But In that hour what things we saw,
What people strange we metl
The painted warrior and his squaw,
The black-robed Jesuit,
All passed like figures in dream,
With buffaloes and deer,
And left beside that mighty stream
The hardy pioneer,
We heard the slave In rice-felds speak,
And felt his plant was true;
The tears rolled down Miss Annie's cheek
And we-yes, we cried, too.
Oh, shade of old De Soto grave,

And stern La Salle-who else so bravs?--

Frederick William, the father OF
Frederick the Great, was half crazy
most of his life. He tried to strangle
his son Frederick with a window cord.
He had him imprisoned and would
have put him to death had not several
foreign ambassadors interceded foI
him. His lunacy took the form of ma
licious mischief. He would kick and
cuff the people whom he met in the

nahOne's ADVICE.

General Mahcne and the parry Of whose
state Committee he is chairman are as
much divided now as ever on the question
OF the policy that party should pursue.
Last summer he General was opposed 70
running any congressional candidates. and
advised outstanding of force for
next falls legislative election. His party
disagreed with him then and ran con.
GressiOnal candidates, and, owing SOLELY IN
Democratic dissatisfaction with the ma
tional admins ration. elected one of them
and came pretty close 10 electing more.
Now, however, though the General still
believes the supreme effort should be
made at the election Of the members ot
the Legislature next November, his mar
ty-that is. as represented by two of lis
lending newspaper organs--thinks the
best policy would be to make no contest

jected last summer; next summer 1t Will

A few days ago we called attention 20
the fact that oysters were being ship
ped from Newport News. in this State, to
England. The Baltimore Sun OF yester-
day reports that Mr.. James Cochran. Of
Urbanna, Va, has just made a ship
ment Of ten barrels Of the delicious BIZ
valves TO London. The shipper is an Eng
lishman who has recently located in THIS
State for She purpose Of going into the
oyster business. Their shipment, he says,
is not an experiment, as he has been
sending oysters TO England from Long
Island for several years past. The Vir-
GINA oysters, Mr.. Cochran believes. are
FAR better for shipping purposes than any
others.
