To Can Tomatoes Whole.

Choose perfectly sound, ripe, but
not over ripe, tomatoes. Pour
boiling water over them, a few at a
time, and remove the skins as
quickly as possible, cutting out the
stem end with a penknife; lay them
upside down on half sieve to
drain, packing them in rather
closely in order to press out as
much juice as possible. Place them
in porcelain lined or granite kettle
and let them heat slowly; as soon
as they are thoroughly hot begin at
once to put them in wide mouth ed
glass jars, lifting each tomato out
whole and taking care not to break
it; fill up with the hot juice after
as many tomatoes as will lie com
fortably have been placed in the
can, wipe the top dry, and put on
the rubber and seal. The import
ant things to remember are to keep
the tomatoes at simmering heat
until all are in the jars, to fill the
jars to over-howing and to screw
down several times during the cool
ing process. They must be kept i'll
cool, dark place, or, if the closet
is not dark, must have a paper cap
over each jar.
Another way is to select small
fruit, peel and drain as above, then
pack in jars. Fill them full of cold
water and lay on the covers loosely.
Place straw in the bottom of a wash
boiler, stand in the jars and pour
in cold water to half cover them.
Put over the fire and after the
water begins to boil keep it at the
boiling point 80 minutes. Take up
the jars, see that they are full to
overf1owlng, and screw on the
covers, tightening again as they
cool.

Marnificence of Lowther Castle.

Lowther castle, near Penrith, is one
of the most imposing mansions in the
north Its great terrace is nearly mile
in length and is carried along the brink
of steep cliff, which overlooks part
of the park, with forest trees of i'm.
mense growth and we'll replenished
with deer. The park of the emperor
of China, at Gehol, is called "the para
disc of 10000 trees" Lord Mccartney,
ambassador to China, in one of his let
ters says: "We wandered in it for sew
eral hours, and yet were never weary
of wandering, for certainly so rich, so
varied, so beautiful, so sublime pros
pect our eyes had never beheld. - And
thus concludes his description Of the
wonderful garden: "If any place can be
said i'll any respect to have similar fea-
lures to the western park of Van Shoe
Yeen, it is at Lowther. London

The Republic of Jones.

There was government i'll existence
within the limits of my state during the
late war that l find no mention of in
the histories, said Mr.. f. NJ Holden
of Mississippi. I'm the early days of
secession the county of Jones, through
it's leading citizens, withdrew from the
Confederacy, declared themselves free
and independent people, organized a
government, adopted constitution
modelled after that of the United States,
called this new government the re-
public of JONES', elected a president
and a full quota of officials and re-
fused to furnish men or money to the
southern cause. On the approach of
Confederate troops they would retreat
to the swamps and other inaccessible
places and remain in hiding till the
danger had passed. They kept up this
queer attitude of hostility to their own
brethren, so far as 1 am informed, to
the close of the war, but the republic
of Jones passed out of the memory of
men with the event of Appomattox, and
the mention of it now in that locality
is only cause for smiles. "-Washing-

LONDON SQUARES.
Some of the Quaint Breathing Spots In
the English Metropolis.

Ino English NAttTOpOlis'
Some of these are quaint and charm
ing enough, being mostly laid out in the
Dutch fashion. Golden square, near
Regent street; Red Lion and Queen
squares, in Bloomsbury, are capital
specimens. The first, though so close to
Regent street, might be dozen miles
away There is a welcome unkempt-
ness; the grass is rank and wild; there
s~e old trees ranged round its border in
. symmetrical way. The houses round
are picturesque, because each is distinct.
1t is given over to commission agents,
merchants and trade generally, yet
within but a few years it was place of
genteel residence, like usual square,
and we find the late Cardinal Wiseman
living in a substantial mansion here.
Dickens, it will be remembered, placed
Ralph Nickleby's house here, which is
described on the occasion of the party to
Sir Frederick and Sir Mulberry as hav
;<sg almost palatial apartments and the
richest furniture. AS we wander round
we are struck with the melancholy tone
of the inclosure, yet everything seems
brisk enough, but it belongs to the old
world.
,he square itself is very attractive
and original, with a sort of Dutch or
foreign air. We note the fine trees which
shelter it all round in symmetrical
lines and the Roman warrior sort of
statue i'll the center, arrayed i'll fnll
armor and representing George H. The
grass and walks are laid out with GER
tain free and easy carelessness that is
very acceptable and contrasts with the
trim, shaven, soulless treatment of mod
nrn squares. Altogether visit to Gold
Gil square will interest.

WHY MOTT

Our memories are shadow views
On which the fancy plays.
'Tis fancy gives that tender charm
To loug departed days.
Like modern finishers, who work
Upon the pictured face,
It fills out dim, uncertain lines
With its own curves of grace.
1t softens what is harsh and hard;
1t shadows what is bold
It wipes out times defacing marks
Each telltale frown and fold.
Then lightens up the doctored scene
With its dim, mystic rays,
And we, enraptured, gaze and cry,
80 dear departed days!"
Now fancy is servant that,
Though wayward, may be led.
Let's bid it leave the past and work
On passing days instead.
It can make present ills seem light.
The present joys enhance,
And prose is turned to poesy
Where its soft colors glance.
All things are good, all things are bad
When thus they seem to be,
And life is this or life is that,
Just as we think or see.

BOLD ATTEMPT At ASSASSINATION.
Two Footpads Stand Up Manuel
Assuza Last Night.
And Because He Had No Money They
Try to Murder Him-His
Narrow Escape.

There came very near being foul MUIR
der committed shortly before midnight
last night on K street. between Sixteenth
and Seventeenth. and 1t was not the fault
of the assassins that their victim escaped
with only a bullet-hole through his arm.
Manuel Assuza, Portuguese laborer,
went to the police station about ll:30
o'clock to be treated for wound OF the
character mentioned. He said he was
walking along K street, between Sixteenth
and Seventeenth, when he heard someone
running behind him. He paid no atten-
ton to it, however, and kept on his way.
Presently q man ran past and tnen
stopped and confronted him with adrawn
pistol. The footpad wore white mask
over his face. Just as he stopped another
came up behind, similarly masked, and
they told him to throw up his hands.
Assuza complied quickly. at the same
time telling them that he had no money
nor valuables about him. They would
not take his word for is. but searched his
pockets without finding anything they
wanted. When the men lad satisfied
themselves that he had no money one OF
them thrust his pistol at him as If about
to shoot The weapon was aimed at AS
suza's heart. and he turned quickly just
as his would-be murderer pulled the
trigger.
The result was that the 4-caliber bullet
struck Assuza's muscular arm about
midway between the shoulder and elbow
and passed through it without, fortu-
nately, striking the bone.
The footpads at once took to their heels
and disappeared in the darkness. AS
suza says they were both men of medium
size, but he could not describe their
looks as their faces were hidden from
view.
He says he made no resistance, as he
saw that would be useless, and cannot
understand why they should attempt to
murder him simply because he had no
money.
Ii Assuza's story be true-and there
seems to be no reason to doubt it, as he is
q sober, hard-working man-the crime
was of the most fiendish character. and
no punishment would be- too severe for
the perpetrators if caught.
The portion of the city where it oc-
Cured has practically no protection, as
one officer has large area of territory to
look after, and might be half mile away
from the scene of crime and still be on
his regular beat.

FAST TRAVEL IN JAPAN.
Dashing Down Rapids Between High
Cliffs

AT Tokimata engaged boat with five
men to take me down the rapids as far as
the Tokaido; the river was running high,
and they would not do it for less than "a
yen-a good price for journey of only
ten or twelve hours; but when you re-
member that it takes them ten days or a
fortnight to haul the boat back, it does
not seem excessive. Don Pedro's re-
mark, ''What need the bridge much
wider than the tiood?" does not apply to
most OF the japanese rivers; usually they
are just a trickle OF water among a wide
bed OF pebbles, which is filled after heavy
rains with raging torrent, but Lake
Suwa serves as reservoir Tor the Tenry-
ugawa, and it always has enough water
to be navigable. The boats used on it are
about thirty feet long, flat bottomed and
hat-sided, with square stern and
high. pointed bow; they are very loosely
built and flexible, and the bottom boards
are SO thin that they wabble like sheet
Of paper wien passing over rough water
or shadows. A heavy foot would break
through them, and it is necessary to tread
only on the bamboos which are laid
lengthwise. resting on the cross-ribs.
My baggage was piled in the middle of
the boat. and seat arranged on it for
Matsuba and myself, one man took the
long stern oar while the othax four
worked in the bows, and within few
minutes OF the start we were plunping
down between high cliffs, charging at
rocks which we only avoided by few
inches, swirliug round in eddies at the
