''Select very young, green lima beans for canning" writes Mrs. s. T. Rorer in the August Ladies' Home Journal. s'If ripe, or white, fermentation is sure to take place unless you use a preservative- which is always more or less dangerous, Wash the beans, drain and put them un- cooked into the jar. Fill the jars to over flowing with cold water, adjust the rub bers and lay on the tops. Place straw or excelsior in the bottom of the washboiler stand the jars on this, pour in sufficient cold water to half cover, cover the boiler, bring to boiling point and boil steadily for three hours. Take up the jars one at a time. If they are not full add boiling water to fill, and screw on the tops as tight as possible. Stand aside over night. Next morning give the tops an extra turn and put in dark, cool place to keep"

The excitement in regard to the Klon- dyke gold fields is still on the increase. In many of the Pacific coast cities and towns it is said that the only circumstance which prevents the wholesale depopula- tion is the limit to the transportation fa- cilities.
 Through an error, it appears that the last general assembly has wiped out all provision for license fees for druggists, and has absolutely forbidden the licensing of druggists to use liquor for compound ing prescriptions and to sell on a physi- clans prescription in no-license towns.

The extraordinary session of congress, which has just closed, was called by President Mckinley two days after he took the oath of office. It met in pursu- anee to this proclamation at noon March 10. The brief special message transmit ted by him to both houses on the opening day explained the deficiencies in the reve- nues, reviewed the bond issues of the last administration and urged congress to promptly correct existing conditions by passing 8 tariff bill that would supply ample revenues for the support of the government and the liquidation of the public debt. No other subject of legisla- tion was mentioned in the message, and the tariff bill has been the all-absorbing feature of the session. The republican members of the ways and means commit tee of the preceding house had work ed throughout the short session, which end ed March 4, giving hearings and preparing the bill which was to be submitted at the extra session. Three days after the ses- sion opened, the tariff bill was reported to the house by the ways and means con- mittee, and 13 days later (March 31) it passed the house. It went to the senate and was referred to the committee on finance, and the republican members of that committee spent month and three days in it's consideration and in preparing the amendments which were submitted to the senate March 4. Its consideration was begun in the senate May z, and ex- actly two months later, July 7, it passed the senate with 872 amendments. The bill then went to conference, where, after ten-day's struggle, on the 17th, com piete agreement was reached by which the senate receded from 118 amendments, and the house from sill The others, 243 in number, were compromised. The con- ference report was adopted by the house the 18th, at the conclusion of 12 hours of continuous debate. The report was taken up in the senate the 20th, and adopted Saturday, the 24th. The tariff bill was signed by the president the same day.

 The price of silver Wednesday was but 57 3-8 cents an ounce, which makes the value of the silver dollar just about forty-six cents. These can not be hap py days for the 16 to advocates. Silver constantly decreasing in price, the supply of gold increasing, and prosperity near at hand, all tend to cast gloom on the silver party followers.
 An explosion on the steamer Nutmeg State, at Bridgeport, Friday, caused the death of three of the crew and the injury of several others. The disaster was caused by the explosion of the vapor from naptha that was being used for cleaning the crews quarters. It is thought that the vapor was ignited from the pipes of some of the crew who were smoking near by.
 Some members of the Grand Army of the Republic in New York City are &C., lively engaged in promoting movement for the change of the observance of Me- morial Day from May 30 to the last Sun day in May. Although an act of congress will be necessary to effect the change, the Grand Army veterans believe it can be brought about. The subject is to be sub mitted to the national encampment in Buffalo on August B. If the encamp- ment acts favorably upon it, it is believed that the change can be made.
 The steamer Block Island broke her steering geer when half an hour out of Block Island on her return trip Wednes- day afternoon, and was obliged to put back to Block Island. Rather than make the trip to New London in the evening it was decided to remain there over night. She left this morning early and arrived in New London about 7 o'clock. The steam CT had an excursion on board of about 200 from Worcester and intermediate stations, bound for Watch Hill and Block Island. On account of the rough weather most of these passengers went ashore at Watch Hill. They reached New London in the evening by way of Westerly.
