This is the preserving season, whom
forehanded housewives put mp all sorts
Of fruits in swoetmoats which make tho
tea table attractive all winter. In some
seasons and with many fruits there Is
little trouble I'm making these preserves
keep, but at other times it seems as II
the greatest care were bound to be de-
feated and all skill were naught. The
sweotmeats will Torment and spoil.
A chemist Of this city, who has been
making special study Of the life and
growth of ferment plants, says Tho ROM
edy for this is double boiling This
must be done with certain reason and
system. If proper precautions are not
observed, no says, you might keep right
on boiling the things time and again
all the year round, aid still they would
spoil. Boiling will kill all the forment
plants that are developed from the
spores, but it will not kill the spores.
Spores Of ferment plants require only
from eight to twelve hours to develop.
If they are loft longer than this tho
spores will have become new plants and
in turn have deposited new spores. To
get rid Of plants and spores, therefore,
the preserves should have first a good
boiling and be set away in sealed ves-
sells, and then about eight hours later
be brought again just to a boiling heat
Treated in this way, tho chemist says,
no further trouble can occur unless new
ferments get in from outside sources. -

CONCERNING HAPPINESS.
The Tastes Of the individual NeccssnrIiy
Vary the Problem.

Vary the Problem.
Suppose that n man has strong in
tellectual tastes, a love of art or sci
ence or literature. He will require.
of course, enough wealth to enable
him to devote himself without ankle.
ty to his favorite pursuits. and
enough, moreover, to train himself
in all requisite knowledge. But.
granting this, the material condi-
tons Of happiness will be sufficiently
fulfilled. think it was Agassiz who
observed, when he was devotinp him
self to science, that he had not time
to get rich. Wealth, to him, would
have been rather an impediment than
an advantage.
A man like Faraday, who placed
his whole happiness in the extension
Of scientific knowledge and was not
less honored because he lived upon n
modest income would not have had
a greater amount of that kind of hap
piness had he possessed the wealth of
a Rothschild. A man whose pleasure
is in reading books, or contemplating
works of art, or listening to music,
can obtain the highest enjoyment at
a very moderate price and can get
very little more il he has the most
unbounded wealth at his disposal. If
we inquired what men of such tastes
had, in fact, derived from them the
greatest happiness, we should. /
fancy, find ourselves mentioning men
comparatively poor, whose enjoy
ments were even comparatively keen,
because they had to devote a certain
amount of care and contrivance to
obtain full play for their capacities.
Charles Lamb, plotting and con-
triving to get an old volume from a
bookstall, possibly got more pleas
ure from his taste than the possess
ors of gigantic libraries. The soci-
able man, again, the man whose
pleasure in society is the genuine de-
light in real interchange of thought
and sympathy, who does not desire
magnificent entertainment, but the
stimulous of intimate association
with congenial friends, would prob
ably find the highest pleasure in
comparatively simple social strata,
where the display of wealth was no
object and men met as johnson met
his friends at the club, to put mind
fairly to mind and to stimulate in
tellectual activity instead of consum-
ing the maximum of luxury.
Milton's sonnet to Lawrence gives
perhaps a rather severe but very
fascinating ideal of refined luxury:
What neat repast shall feast us, light and
choice,
OF Attic taste with wine. whence we may
riso
To hear the lutte well touched or artful voice
Marble immortal notes aud Tuscan air?
lie who Of these delights can judge and spare
To interpose them Oft is not unwise.
Nor need we be accused of inordi-
nate boasting if we should say that
we would rather have made third
atsuch a feast than have joined a
dozen rowdy courtiers at the table OF
Charles u.-National Review.

Mrs George Gould has a now neck
Taco that is positively dazzling and Is
said to contain some of the finest stones
seen il England for long time. It
seems when the Goulds sailed to con-
quer English society Mrs. Gould, OF
course had jewels. diamonds and neck
laces, for that matter These were quite
well enough for America and Lakewood,
but would not do at all for anything so
grand as England. So the order was
given for something that was a shade
finer than any necklace Mrs. Gould was
likely to meet, and the result is another
feather in America s cap.
1t also seems that we arc going to
lose the Goulds; that English society
has fallen so deeply in love with pretty
Edith Kingdom that was, or she has
found them so captivating, that the
Goulds will not let their society laurels
cool, and it may be long timo before
New York society has tho chance to
take the Goulds by tho hand and well
come them into the Four Hundred.
In October they may shine on the
United States, but in a few weeks will
pack up the family wardrobe, its jewel
cases and silver cases, cut some more
coupons and hurry back to England. -

The following anecdote is related
Of Judge Thornton, who was chief
justice of the court Of common pleas
in New Hampshire and judge of the
superior court of that state in the
last century. While he was presid-
ing in the common pleas, a counsel
who was making the closing argu-
ment to the jury in a protracted case
on warm afternoon discovered that
the presiding judge on the bench was
absorbed in reading a book. and his
associate was soundly sleeping by his
side. The advocate turned to the
jury, and with indignant emphasis
remarked, Gentlemen, my unfortu-
nate client has no hope but in your
attention, since the court in their
wisdom win not condescend TO hear
his easel
OF course there was no sleeping on
the bench after that, but Judge
Thornton looked up from his book
and remarked: "When you havs
anything to offer, Mr.. -. which is
pertinent to the case on trial the
court viii be happy to hear you.
Meantime / may as well resume my
reading. - Green Dag.
