In an instant, with the grace of u fawn, she sprang to her feet and fled into the honse The reporter is delighted to know that the young lady was not hurt.
 Is there any other business besides conducting a newspaper it. which the inconsistencies of human nature arc so quickly brought to the surface? For instance, q publisher asks q man to take his paper and invariably the mans excuse is that he already has more than he can read. You ask him what papers he takes and he will name some farm CTS journal and perhaps religions periodical Do you think that man is consistent? Yet he will tell you In the same breath that he has read your paper and he likes it. Then there's the man who tells you that he is teo poor to subscribe although you personally know that he is worth all kinds of money. Still these atoms of the general public cx. pect mention in the paper which they refuse to take of any little incl dent relating to themselves or fami- lies. and they are mad if they don't get t. some people expect q news paper to exist by the almighty guid anee of Providence and not hy the almighty dollar Of the Kingdom ol the United States Free Press.

Charles VI. Brand.

The Charlottesville Progress pays this
editorial tribute TO the late Charles NJ
Brand. city editor Of that paper and
Charlottesville correspondent Of the Dis
patch:
"Mr. Brand. whose death occurred this
morning, was a man of strong convic-
tons and courageous character. Sim
cerity and n love of truth were the
traits that impressed most deeply those
who knew him Intimately and by daily
intercourse had unusual opportunity or
observing under the play Of all kinds
OF influences. SO steady and unbending
were his principles that IL was easy to
determine his course under any circum-
stances. Expediency was n policy or
a condition which did not enter into
the determination of his conduct. To
him a proposed course OF conduct was
either right or wrong, and he never
permitted his judgment to be blinded
by moral make-believes. We would lay
no artificial flowers OF praise on his
bier: and, therefore would not disguise
the truth that he was not slways right.
But in his errlng he was a member of
that class of whom Burns said: They
gang a-kennin' wrang"
He did not seek the unmanly comfort
of casuistry, nor the solace Of self-de-
ception.
His sincerity made him a loyal friend
or an open enemy and he promptly as
sumed the character which circumstances
seemed TO him to demand He be-
lieved in his friends. he supported and
defended them In him, IN the matter
of loyal friendships, there was no yaria-
bleness, no shadow of turning. We have
spoken Of his enemies, and to. avoid
producing wrong Impressions we
should add that he. had few. Pursuing
his calling as editor with the courage
and constancy and high ideals which
should always mark such labors. it was
inevitable that Observation-Disclosures and
occasional arrangements should add
regret to the other sentiments which
grow up as one lives ones life.
Mr.. Brand was the ablest news
gatherer and news-editor the present
writer has ever known. His catholic
interest, his persevering enthusiasm
that volatile something which we are
so prone to leave behind us with the
golden days OF youth-eduipped him as
few men are provided for the efficient
DISCHARGE Of his burdensome tasks. He
knew what was the news, and he under
stood how 10 dress IL for appearance
I'm all circles Of readers. His respect
for his profession and his sincerity COM
bined to make his blame and his praise
equally sincere.

How Tomatoes Are Preserved In
Italy.
(Chambers's Journal)

(Chambers's Journal)
In every house and cottage the pre-
serving OF tomatoes is carried on. Ter
races. balconies, and even the fiat roofs
OF the houses are half covered with
plates containing the deep-red substance.
After gathering. the tomatoes intended
for preserve are spread out FOR some
hours I'm the sun till the skin has some
what shrunk. They are then passed
through sieve so that they may be
freed both from seeds and skins. AS
they contain large proportion OF
water. the. substance which has been
passed through the sieve must be hung
in bags, from which the water exudes,
and soon a pool of dirty-looking water
is formed beneath each bag. Strange TO
say, it is in no way tinged with red.
The mixture which remains in the bags
has the consistency OF very thlck
paste. 1t is then sailed, the proportion
being a little less than an ounce OF "ait
to q pound of preserve. The process
now requires that it should be spread
on fat plates, exposed TO the SUM- ana
stirred from time to time with WOODEN
spoon, so that the upper part may not
form a crust, while underneath 1t re-
mains soft. IT is a picturesque slgnt
when the women are to be seen fitting
about on their roofs and terraces, at
tending to their deep-red preserve, their
colored handkerchiefs flung on their
heads to screen them from the rays or
the burning sun when It is at its fercest.
In the evening the contents Of the varl-
Gus plates are taken in and stirred up
together. for. If moistered by the night
dew. the whole would be spoiled. After
being exposed TO the sun for seven or
eight days, the same process being re-
peated each day, the preserve is Ihlsheu
and placed in lars for winter use
Though it is used by all classes or per-
sons. il is more necessary to the poor
than 10 the rich. for the latter can make
use of the fresh tomatoes preserved IN
cans Tomatoes may be timed whoie,
as we know from those usually imported
into England from America. But In
Italy the fruit is usually passed through
a sieve. the pulp being then placed IN
tins. which are Immediately soldered
and then put in boiling water for hve
minutes. The original flavor is thus re-
tanned. The cost of a small tin is hair
q franc. so IL Is, as a rule beyond the
means Of the poor. The price OF the pre-
serve is seldom more than pence
Mound and a little of It goes very FAR;
bnt those who are thrifty take care TO
make II for themselves, the cost then
being absolutely Insignificant. IL Is
chiefly used by them for flaVoring their
maccaroni in the winter; in fact, there
are very few dishes which are not i'm
proved by little tomato preserve, and IL
finds favor in all classes.

THE SIrNKEN CITY.

From the German of Muller)
The bells of evening, from the deep sea
ringing,
Peal faint and hollow their melodious
chime;
Strange tidings of a wonder city bring
ing,
Meath its waves 'whelmed in the olden
time.
And though the tide of ocean, ever
streaming,
Iashes the place Of that old city s
grave; ,
It's golden battlements are still seen
cleaning
wave.
And once the boatman, who has seen
them glisten
In the clear twilight, with enchanted
ray;
He fingers, spelDouhu' ior 'n0S0
Though rocks rise threatening in his
ocean way.
Tins 10 the heart like those sweet
chimes, comes often
strange sad voice, from memory s
phantom shore;
And hayward thoughts the dreamers
vision soften,
OF love. long vanished-to return no
more.
The faded ruins of world once spien-
did, -, A.,
Now deeply buried in the fasts uiiii
sea,
long
seemed ended.
In dreams OF midnight rise again to me-
Reneath the rays, which memorys light
was flinging,
long TO vanish in those dim waves
foam; " ,
And angel voices, to my spirit singing
cali me TO memory's Wonder CITY
home.
