by far not in the same degree as with
the black currant. Jasquemin places
apple leaves in water containing from
fifteen percent of sugar; then he adds
yeast. During the process of fermen-
tation there is an odor of apples, and
when the fermentation is finished and
the yeast has settled, straw yellow
liquid is obtained which possesses the
fine "bouquet" of the fruit of the re-
spective trees from which the leaves
were obtained. With vine leaves the
results are stii! more prolific. A
beverage tastiEe and smelling strongly
of wine is obtained, and finally brandy

The Three Sisters who Lisped.

There were three sisters who lisped
very badly, and their mother, who was
solicitous about finding husbands for
them, was continually admonishing
them to hold their tongues. This is
difficult for girl that has no impedi-
ment in her speech, but it is impossi-
BILE for one that stammers. One even
ing the three lispers were invited to
"a quilting" at neighbor's.
Now, mind, girls" said the anx-
ious mother, "some nice young men
are going to be there, and you must
not say word, or they will learn that
you lisp, and won't care to make up
to you"
They promised to be silent, and
went to the quilting When they
reached the house they sat down and
quilted diligently in silence, and
nothing could induce them to take
part in the conversation. At last the
eldest wanted the scissors, and tried
to make signs to her next sister to
pass them to her, but could not at
tract her attention. Losing patience,
she stammered out:
'"rhither, path me the thithorth.
The other replied with indignation:
Didn't ma thay that 90 thouldn't
thay anythin'?"
This was too much for the youngest,
and she exclaimed in self-congratu-
latory tone:

The final fate of the Nicaragua

says the New York Herald. The
United States gunboat Newport has
sailed away with commission of en-

not the United States shall control

Care of Bees in Winter.

If the bees are properly placed in
winter quarters, which should be done
before winter is on, there is but little
to do during the winter. As matter
of fact, no meddling with bees in any
way must be done in cold weather,
and the only time we can work with
them in safety is during warm day
when they are flying. If bees get a
good fly once a month they are likely
to keep in good condition, but if cold
weather continues along for weeks and
months without any let-up, the bees
are not in any way protected.
Bees wintered out in thin hives, as
matter of necessity, must draw
heavily on their stores to keep the re-
quired amount of animal heat, and
with such in every case, they must
have frequent flights, or dysentery re-
suits, and the loss of such colonies
follows.
Those that are well protected can
Withstand much more cold and do not
become affected thus, and are in con-
dition to bear much longer confine-
ment. 1t is impossible to accomplish
anything in the way of remedies when
they become thus affected, and only
warm weather so that they can fly
freely will cure it.
All stock of every kind should be
excluded from about hives in winter,
and the hives should not sit near a
roadway, or near railroad. Heavy
losses of bees have been reported
where they have been kept close to
railroad by the frequent jarring OF the
hives, thus arousing the bees to activi-
ty, which always results in their con-
suming stores heavily, and this, con-
nected with long confinement ON ac-
count of cold weather, is sure to result
in disease.
Good, healthy stores have much to do
with wintering also, as some varieties
of honey are not as good as others.
The condition of the honey in the
hive has much to do with the health
iulness of the bees. A large amount
of unsealed stores is very damaging in
winter. This is true from the fact
that the moisture that arises from the
bees in cold weather contaminates the
honey in the open cells, thereby
rendering it unhealthy. Hence it is Of
Importance that all the honey is sealed
in the combs, or at least all reserve
stores. Bees need good attention in
early spring, as they are then breeding
as rapidly as they possibly can, or that
their condition will let them, and very
frequently they become short of stores,
and little timely feeding will save
them. "A. II. Duff.

What field of research is too insig-
nifcant for the enterprising statisti-
,ian to explore? This question is
suggested to the Atlanta Constitution
by the almost infinite array of figures
which some clever genius in this line
has marshaled out, showing the uni.
versal popularity of the inconspicu-
GUS hen egg. As the statistician in
question is a German, the figures
which he cites apply to that empire
alone, but from the light which they
throw upon the subject generally,
some idea may be obtained as to the
hen eggs popularity in other coun-
tries. Basing his calculations upon
the showing for 1896 the statistician
figures out that 80, 900, 900 hens in
Germany during that year laid not
less than $500, 900, 900 eggs, but that
even this enormous quantity was not
sufficient to supply the national de-
mand. Imports for that year, in adj
dition to the home product, aggre.
gated 72O,O00,0oo eggs, purchased
from Russia, Austria Hungary, Italy
and Holland. Most countries are for
tunate enough to produce hen eggs in
sufficient abundance to fully satisfy
their home demands, and why Ger.
many has never been able to do this
is something which cannot be readily
explained. Importation is not calcu.
lated to improve the character of such
products, and the fact that Germany
is obliged to import them must be &C.
cepted as conclusive proof that she
has exhausted every effort to satisfy
her demand in the home market. On
the basis of what Germany consumes
annually, the statistician from whom
we quote reasons that the worlds con.
sumption of hen eggs must closely
approximate the prodigious aggrega.

Leaves as Good as Fruit.

A French druggist, named Jasque-
min, has conceived the idea that the
flavor of fruits of shrubs and trees gem
orally is generated in the flowers of
these plants, and passes from them in
to the fruits. The fragrance which
the leaves of the blanck currant bush
give off, especially after a little rub
bing, and which is so very similar to
the to the taste of the berry, has led
this man to adopt this opinion. He
goes further, and says that the pleas
ant taste of the apple, pear or grape is
prepared in the leaves of the respec-
tive plants, sithoug he admits that it

The municipal authorities of Paris
are just now engaged in the suppress,
sion of au altogether novel form of
food adulteration which is assuming
phenomenal proportions, says the New
York Tribune. Real oysters are ex-
pensive in Paris, and so, with the OBJ
iect of suiting slender purses, artificial
oysters ON the half shell have been in
vented, which are sold at twenty cents
a dozen, and they are so cleverly made
and look so nice and fresh that, once
lemon juice or vinegar has been added,
they cannot be distinguished from the
real article, especially when white
wine is taken in connection Herewith.
The only genuine thing about these
oysters is the shell, the manufacturers
buying secondhand shells at a small
cost, and fastening the spurious oyster
in place with tasteless paste. The
municipal laboratory has not yet pro.
claimed the ingredients of which these
bogus oysters are composed, but has
announced that they are of harmful
character.

A Sad Story.

During a Euclid paper at o recent
examination for London University, a
presiding examiner noticed that a.
young man was constantly referring
to something concealed under his
blotting paper. 'Cribbing" is espe-
cially common in Euclid papers, and
in consequence examiners have the
bad habit of keeping their eyes very
wide open indeed. This particular
examiner quickly swooped down and
insisted on seeing the inside of the
blotter. The young man blushed and
stammered, but all in vain. At last,
with great reluctance, he produced the
photograph of very beautiful young
lady, with large, lustrous eyes.
"This," he faltered, with crimson
cheeks, sis my affianced bride. When
ever am inclined to despair, have
only to look at her face and am in
stantly inspired with fresh ardor."
The examiner retired abashed and
touched, with moist eyes and rosy
cheeks, but the examinee heaved a
sigh of relief, for beneath the likeness

That history repeats itself has just
received another proof. Some years
ago the men of a Bavarian regiment,
of which Prince Macmillan was chief,
in order that they might show their
devotion to him, cut off their mus
taches and sent them to the princess,
who had just become mother, that
sae might use them as pillow
Something very like a repetition of
this has just taken place at Rappoist-
weller, in Alsatia. The chief of the
fire brigade was a, few days ago pre-
sented with his first child, boy.
The fremen thereupon called meet
ing, at which it was decided to make
the baby boy an honorary member of
the corps, and the men subsequently
cut off their mustaches and boards to
form pillow for the baby's use

While Sir Richard Burton was Con-
sui on the west coast of Africa the
merchants were put to Inconvenience
by the captains of the ships discharg-
ing their cargoes and steaming of
again without their correspondence.
They appealed for help to the new
Consul. Burton examined the con-
tracts and found that the captain of
ship must stop at a port eighteen
hours daylight for that purpose. F."
When the next ship came in the cap
tain looked into the Consul's office
and said: Hurry up with my papers,
/ want to be OFF, Z
'You cannot go, have not finished
my letters, returned Burton. and re-
ferred him to the contract. The cap
tain repeated his intention of leaving
the port Immediately.
VERY well, returned Burton. "I'm
going up to the Governors, and shall
shot two guns. If you go out one min
ute before your eighteen hours day
light expires L shall send the first
gun right across your bows, and the
second slap into you. Good morn

The captain did not go out till hall
an hour after his eighteen hours day
light had elapsed, and as long as Bur-
ton was there all the captains were
equally careful.-Weekly Telegraph.

Repeat the pouring in of cold water
to an amount sufficient to float the
butter, gently agitating the mass and
drawing off the water until it runs
clear. If one or more Fof these wash
ings is in weak brine it will dissolve
the Gaseous matter and thus aid in
separating it from the butter. Strong
brine hardens and fixes the Gaseous
matter.
After washing, let the butter stand

cooperating it with the butter by

Tt is best to use sieve in salting

By sailing butter in the granular
form all working is avoided, and the
''grain" is preserved perfectly. If the
right kind of salt is used it dissolves at
once, covering every particle with a
saturated brine. 1t is only necessary
to press it together in a solid mass
either before or when packing it for
market.
Beware of salt that does not dissolve
Immediately. 1t is liable to remain
undissolved and make the butter grit
tx, unless an extra amount of water is
left in the butter, which would be
fraud
Be sure to use enough salt to satur-
ate the water remaining in the butter,
even if you have to work out some of
the brine. If you do not the butter
will contain only weak brine and
will not keep we'll.
If just enough water and no more
is left in the butter to dissolve the salt,
so that no brine is worked out, the
weight of the salt is added to the
weight of the unsalted butter.

or other method of sailing butter,

Cropping Orchards.


While taking short trip through
our County few weeks since, L no.
ticed a bearing orchard planted to
corn, and I set the owner down at
once as a man who did not attend our
fruit institutes or horticultural meet
ings, or he would have known better
and escaped the consequences.
The corn was shaded and therefore
sickly and slender looking. and as we
had been having an extended spell of
dry weather, both corn and orchard
showed the effect. We are glad that
such instances are rare, and that the
majority of the fruit-growers of Oceana
County are intelligent men, men who
are earnestly striving to learn and
adopt all the best methods for success
full fruit culture Yet there are those
who think there is no harm in crop
ping young orchard from one to two,
three and even four years; and often
the crop has little reference to the
good of the trees.
Our most successful fruit growers
say that after two years neither crop
nor orchard will pay. The first one
or two years the tree occupies but
little space and the 'ground may be
planted, but it is advised to plant to
potatoes, melons, squashes or some
like crop that will not shade the trees.
After three or four years the roots of
the trees occupy fully twenty feet
space and no other crop should oc-
cupy the ground. One must know
something of the roots, their manner
Of growth, ETC., to cultivate success
fully. Yet different soils admit of
different care.
Careful study and observations are
necessary, to be successful in the
orchard; and once in while good
lesson is learned from experience.
We had one such lesson and that one
was enough. 1t was in the early days
of fruit growing, that, being short of
ground to crop, oats were sown in the
plum orchard. The trees blossomed
full, and until midsummer hung full
Of plums; but an extended drouth
coming on, the plums, many of them,
after little time commenced to shrivel
1p and drop off-none of them color
ing up as usual. In fact, the crop
was almost complete failure, while
several of the trees died outright; but
it taught us eSson-there have been
no oats in the orchard since.
What is taken from the soil of q
bearing orchard will just as surely be
deducted from the profits. Jennie
