Noah After The Flood.

The first fruit planted by Noah when
he left the ark was the grape, the most
hcalthful Of all products on the earth.
All through the Bible we read of grapes
and wine from grapes bcirg recommend
cd as the first remedy for the ills Of life;
but it is pure juice wine, not watered
and sugarcd juice that the bible refers
to.
Sugared wines are highly alcoholic
and starchy; the sugar making excess Of
alcohol and other products not belonging
to hcalthful wine.
Speers Of New Jersey the oldest wine
grower in the United States, has studi-
ously avoided water and sugar or any
foreign substance whatever but has his
wine fully matured by great age and
careful handling.

Why the Yankees Won.

the northern part of Georgia. between two
mountains which shut out all communica-
ton with the outside world. there lived an
oil planter, who, while an ardent adherent
Of the southern cause, was too badly GRIP
pied by in;irmities to shoulder IA musket
and march bareiooted But he had a son
whom he sent and after the boy had dis
appeard down the road the old man walt

Uncle =. he was colled-woud rejoice
and take an unusually large dose of mint
iu,ep. At other times when reverse ncws
came and it was reported that the gray
had been turned back the old man would
bitterly lament, and use the same remedy
for grief and sorrow that he used to quiet
his Joy. Through it all he had abundant
faith i'm the ultimate victory of the confed-
crate army, and any doubt expressed
would meet with a stern rebuke.
The years wore on and news failed to
arrive The valley was deserted and
there was no one to learn the course or
events. The old man smoked his pipe ana
waited imDatiently for news. one morn
ing as he sat on the front porch with MS
pipe. far down the dusty road appeared
ually he approached, and the feeble vision
of the old planter recognized his long-ab-
sent SON. The puffs from his pipe came
thick and fast, but this was the only sign

Beneath the frowning brow of Night;
And on his cycles never sings
One feeble note. but whirs alright:
Into the gloom how free to dart.
At dawn how quick TO HE away:
He loves the darkness from his heart
With all his heart he hates the day.

Bright bird of day! with outstretched
wings
To greet the infant dawn OF day:
And as he scars, he sweeter sings,

He hates the dark with all his heart.
With all his heart loves day and nest.

in salads, being in this respect scarcely
inferior to winter-cress, to which ii is re-
lated. The flowers serve as a garnish for
butter balls. salads and cooked meats. and
are also used to beautify a plain bread
and butter sandwich. If a fringe of let
tuce be added the sandwich is dOubly at

the green seed (pods or fruit. when pre-
served in vinegar. make an excellent
small pickle which is used like capeIs and
which many prefer TO the latter. These

PRESERVING rRAB APPLES.

To preserve crab apples take off the
stems and core them with u penknife,
without cutting them open. Weigh "a
pound of aranulated sugar for each pound
of prepared fruit. Add one teacup of water
to each pound of sugar, and put it over
a moderate fire. When the sugar is all
dissolved and hot put the apples in. Let
them boil gently until clear, then skim
out and spread them on fiat dishes. Boil
the syrup until it is thick; put fruit in jars
and pour syrup over 1t. Lemon may be
boiled with the syrup If desired. one lemon
being enough for several pounds of fruit.
Crab apples may be preserved whole. with
stem on: I'm this case use three-quarters
of pound of sugar to each pound OF
fruit.
