CrystaIlizing Fruits.

Few CONNECTIONS are more delicious
than candied fruit, and few sweetmes is
are more expensive, 60 cents pound
being the regulation price, and pound
represents very small amount. They
can be prepared at about half the cost,
however, at home, if care is taken.
Cherries, currants, pineapples, april
cots, pears and peaches are best expe-
rimented upon The two former can
be used in punches; the pineapple is
sliced across the fruit, each piece be-
ing d good quarter-inch thick; apricots
are cut on one side and the stone Slip
ped out, while pears and peaches are
halved, and, of course, peeled
Make a very thick syrup, pound for
pound, adding for each pound a small
cup of water Boil the sugar first, then
drop in the fruit, and when they have
boiled clear take out and drain from
the syrup. If the cherries are stoned
(the red ox-hearts make the finest, be-
ing not too sweet as the white and
without the rank tartnesS of the sour
red oIes), it is nice to string them on
a broom splint, as they can be more
easily handled.
Sprinkle literally with powdered SUI
gar, lay on sieve and set the fruit in
a warm oven. I used wire dish, such
as our grandmothers kept fruit in, set
within another dish to catch the syrup.
In two hours turn the fruit, sprinkle
with sugar again. Keep this up until
the sugar has all dripped out. On no
account have the oven hot, as it will
dry the fruit and leave it like so much
leather. And, of course, the fruit must
be laid in single rows when drying.
When the juice has evaporated and
the sugar has formed glazed surface,
put away in boxes in dry place. Wax
ed paper should be laid between each
LAYER. A bureau drawer is as good a
place as any to keep them.

ioss OF appetite and inability to sleep, especially
when it is accompanied by severe pains, be-
cause it signifies general breaking down Of
the whole system. Some serious arrangement
is the cause, probably existing in the stomach
or one of the other great vital organs, the iiy-
er or kidneys, causing the blood to be contain
mated, and all parts of the body to become
weakened and diseased in sympathy. Such
troubles cannot be taken care of too soon, and
that which will cure the quickest should be
sought Immediately. Nothing will produce
such favorable and quick results as Kickapoo
Indian Sagwa, which is sold to-day by all
druggists at 81. per bottle, and is exactly the
same as it was centuries ago, when it was used
by the Indians, when it made them famous
for lives of perfect health and great duration.
Kickapoo Indian Sagwa is purely vegetable
and therefore is perfectly harmless. Our PAM
phlet entitled ''Kickapoo Indian Doctor" gives
symptoms of disease and full instructions for

stations,a table was
given which indicated that barnyard
manure had produced increase OF crop
to the value of $3.50 per ton OF man
use in the three grain crops of a hVe-
crop rotation, leaving the residual eff
feet on the two grass crops yet to be as
certained. By an unfortunate lapse of
memory, however, the mistake was
made of computing only half the guam
tity of manure actually used, as it had
been used on two crops in the three
years, namely, corn and wheat, at the
rate of tons on one plot and tons on
another on each crop, making total
application to the two crops of sixteen
reducing the value of the increase due
to the manure to about $1.25 per ton.
The manure used in this test had been
accumulated from horses and COWS IN
an open barnyard during the winter
and summer previous to its appllca-
ton, and was under, rather than above
the average open yard manure in quail
ity. A similar comparison of manure
and fertilizers has been made at the
central station, beginning Immediately
after the relocation of the station IN
Wayne county, on the same crops, corn,
oats, wheat, clover and timothy, grown
in five-year rotation. Four Wheat
crops have now been taken in this ro-
tation, three crops each OF corn ana
oats and five crops of hay, the meau-
ows thus far being mOWn but once
year. Five tracts of land are included
in the test, each tract containing thirty
plots of one-tenth acre each and SO
managed that each crop will be repre-
sented each season after the first rota-
ton is completed. At this stage OF the
work only partial results can be given,
as a full rotation would include nVe
crops each of the cereals and ten crops
of hay: but it may be useful to note
the results already obtained, which are
as follows, the value of the increase
being computed on the bases OF So 10
cents per bushel for corn, 70 cents TOT
oats. sc 2-3 cents for wheat, So per

sent to Ambassador Hay, the reply of
the British government to the pro-
posals of the American bimetallic spec
ial commission headed by Senator VOL
colt. 1t is a automatically worded
note. His lordship says that the gov
eminent of Great Britain is not able TO
reopen the Indian minis at present.
He regrets the inability TO accede to the
proposals of the American commission
crs. Great Britain having as great al
interest as the United States and
France in securing a stable par eX
change for gold and silver and an en-
larged use of silver.
In these circumstances, continues
Lord Salisbury, the British government
does not see the desirability of an in
ternatiOnai monetary conference but
will be pleased to consider any other
practical suggestion from the United
States.
Lord Salisbury enclosed with the note
copy of the statement of Sir James
Westland. head of the financial depart
ment of India which. was under discussion
at the meeting of the cabinet council. last
Saturday and which takes strong grounds
against the re-opening of the India minis.
Senator Wolcott is not in London. this
evening. Ambassador Andrew White
came from Berlin, last Saturday. He has
avoided publicity, but has had several
conferences with Senator Wolcott. In the
course of an interview with the CORE
spondent of The Associated Press, Mr..
White said that Germanys action as to
bimetallism will depend upon England.
Discussing the possibility of a tariff war,
Mr. White said:
Il do not believe that Germany will in
auSurate a tariff war with the United
States. The German press and many Ger
man statesmen have been very bitter
against the Dingley bill. but think they
are now beginning to realize that an in
creased prosperity will enable the United
States to buy as much as under the lower
tariff.

put before the fire to test the future
of those whose names they bore: #
they burned steadily the courtship
would go well, If they popped apart the
course of true love would not run
smooth. Hand-glasses, with apples
beside them, should be placed here and
there, so that the modern Eve may eat
her apple and wait for Adam to peep
over her shoulder.
Greater pleasure, however, may be
found in the games which all may play

apples which must be lifted out by the
teeth alone, and the fork suspended
from the ceiling, with it's lighted candle
at one end, and the apple, from which
bite is to be taken, at the other Will
cause much merriment. The search
for the ring in flour is also much
enjoyed. The flour containing a ring
is packed upon large platter. The
guests each cut off slice with knife,
and the one uncOvering the ring must
pick it up with his teeth.

1t has been suggested that at the close
or the hunting season. or at some time
near the first of January, a convention of
the guides of the State be held. There
are over 1000 names on the books of the
inland fish and game commissioners, and
this regiment of guides would form II
convention which would attract much at
tention, and would no doubt, be the first
assembiage of the kind ever seen in this
country. Such convention would doubt
less be productive of good. 1t was to Sc
cure the cooperation of the guides in the
enforcement of the fish and game laws
That the registration legislation was en-
acted. and in getting the guides together
to compare notes and talk over mutual
interests, a step in the right direction
would be taken. 1t would be part of the
nlan to have the convention addressed
ny the governor and other prominent
men. There would probably be a parade
and the guides. dressed in their neat. pic
turesque hunting costumes, would be a
sight well worth seeing.

Frank Kelley of the firm of Kelley
& Hanley. met with a very serious ac-
cident, Wednesday afternoon. He,
with his assistant. were at work at the
house Of B. Frazier on Highland ave-
nue.. about 4 miles out. putting in the
plumming for a new bath room. Mr..
Kelly was under the sink making a
joint and his plummer's furnace, a gas
oline stove, made for heating the
soldering iron, was without near the
door. Without any cause or warning
the stove exploded and threw the gas
oline towards him. Closing his eyes
he rushed out through the flames and
rushed out Of doors and put out the
fire by rolling in the grass. This done,
he rushed back and assisted as long as
he could in extinguishing the flames in
the room, which was done without
much damage except by smoke. Mr..
Kelly was brought to the office of DR..
J. M. Turner where his injuries were
dressed, his face and head and both
hands being badly burned. He closed
his eyes as soon as the explosion hap
pened and so will save his eyesight.

h, Two Accidents in N C. Yard.

Two accidents, though slight ones.
occurred in the Maine Central yard at
this station. yesterday morning, while
the night crew was still on. George
Priest. one of the shifter's crew was
injured by the flying of a coupling pin
from the draw-bar the pin hitting him
in the eye and cutting two bad gashes
that required the attention of a sur
geon. A little later, Gideon CULVER
was shunting a fiat car down the yard
and in setting the brake, the brake
shaft fell upon his finger splitting it
open and making a bad wound.
