HOW TO CAN FRUIT.
Good Results Obtained From the Simplest
 Methods.

Methods.
 In these days of many patents, when the market is filled with various elabo- rate devices for canning purposes, it is pleasant to know that the very best re- suits may be obtained with a wooden rack fitted into fiat bottomed clothes boiler. A good boiler of heavy tin, large enough to hold a dozen and half cans, may now be purchased for $1. 50. Any amateur carpenter may easily make the rack out of pine strips half inch thick and an inch and half wide.
 The jars are filled with fruit and cov- cred with the sirup made from their juice in the case of soft fruit like ber- ries, and of water i'll the proportion of five plnts of water to seven pounds of sugar in the case of harder fruits, like peaches, pears and plums. The covers are screwed down without a rubber, and the jars set on this rack and separated by kitchen towels. They are immersed up to their necks in warm water, which is allowed to come to the boiling point In the case of delicate fruits like straw berries, the water is allowed to boil but two minutes around the jars. In the case of pineapples it bOils five minutes ; i'll case of peaches, pears and plums and most other fruits, 20 minutes As soon as the time of the boiling is over, the fruit is removed at once, jar by jar, the cover is taken off, the jar is filled to the brim with fresh boiling sirup to take the place of that which has been ab- sorbed, the rubber is put on, and the cover is screwed up as tight as possible. When the jars are cold, the covers are frightened again, and each jar is wrapped i'll paper to exclude its contents from the light and is set away ill the preserve closet This closet should be in place where the uniform temperature is as near to 90 degrees as possible. A dry cellar is usually the best place.

The Origin of Boomers.

One of the encyclopedias defines
Bloomerism as ian odd and fanciful
fashion of ladies' dress, which origi-
mated about the time of the convention
held in Worcester in 1850, to advocate
for women more liberal education, a
training in trades and professions and
more social and political privileges.
1t seems that in 1S49 one, Mrs.
Bloomer, adopted the costume and lee
tured on its advocacy. Under the date
of March Z, 1885, correspondent of the
Springfield Union makes this reference.
"Mrs. Bloomer is at home with her
husband in Council Bluffs where I
went by invitation of Mr.. Bloomer a
few evenings since, and spent an hour
in agreeable conversation with her.
She is reported as being very fluent
speaker and in that position appears to
be entirely at home; her addresses are
written and delivered with much grace
and finish. She told me that her style
of costume had suffered SO much ridi-
cule from the newspapers that women
were ashamed to adopt it, and she her
self had thereby been compelled tt
abandon it's use except on special Occa.
