CANNED FRUIT LORE.
Points of Information Which May De
of Service to the Young
Housewife.

At this season, when the home canning
is just being completed for the year, and
those who have been unable to do the
canning at home are visiting the mar
kets in quest of the winters supply. a
few suggestions upon the selection and
care of canned foods may not be amiss,
says Good Health.
After the cans which have been filled
at home have cooled and the tops have
been screwed down tightly. place them
ina cool place, bottom upward, and watch
closely for few days. If the juice be-
fermentation is seen, it is a sign that
the work has failed, and the only thing
to do is to open the can Immediately,
boil the fruit and use as quickly as pos
sible; recanning will not save it unless
boiled for a long time. If no signs of
spelling are observed within two or three
weeks, the fruit may be safely stored
away in dark, cool place. If one has
no dark storeroOm, it is an advantage
to wrap each can in brown paper, to
keep out the light.
Sometimes the fruit will settle so that
a little space appears at the top. If you
are perfectly sure that the can is tight,
do not open to refill, as you will be I'M
able to make it quite as tight again, IN
less you reheat the fruit, in which case
you would be liable to have the same
thing occur again. Air is dangerous be-
cause it is likely to contain germs,
though in itself it is harmless.
If mold is observed upon the top of
a can, it should be opened. and the fruit
boiled and used at once, after carefully
skimming out all moldy portions If
there is evidence of fermentation, the
fruit should be thrown away, as it con-
tains alcohol. If care be taken to pro-
vide good cans, thoroughly sterilized,
and with perfectly fitting covers; to use
only fruit in good condition; to have it
thoroughly cooked, and at boiling tenn
perature when put into the cans; to have
the cans we'll baked and heated, filled
completely and to overlooking, and
sealed at once while the fruit is still near
boiling temperature. there will be little
likelihood of failure.

Hinton, Ny, Nov. For oyer oyer two years,
State have been treating Mr Z. j. Ihomp-
son, popular local school teacher, for Dia.
betes. They told him that but little could be
done to aelp him. He made up his mind to
try new remedy called Dodds Kidney Pills,
and says:-
''They saved me when the doctors held out
no hope. | took, in all, about ten boxes. |
viii always praise Dodd's Kidney Pills for
the great good they have done for me-
Many people, and some physicians, still
persist in the belief that Diabetes is an in
durable disease. Our teacher, Mr.. Thomp-
son, says it is durable, for Dodds Kidney
Pills cured him after two good physicians
had treated him for two years without sue
cess.
A remedy that will cure Diabetes will sure
ly cure any case of Kidney Trouble.

THOSE EARLY GREEKS.
But Some Modern Americaqs
Are Worse.

Fer downright, concentrated essence
of meanness, commend me to the early
male Greeks" exclaimed the summer
girl, surveying with pride the array Of
trunks Of all shapes and sizes with which
she was starting for an August cam
paign at the seashore, relates the New
York Times.
why particularly male?" queried her
younger brother, as the baggage wagon
disappeared around the corner and he
dropped YEARLY into a piazza chair,
hopping his brow
Because read the other day that the
mean old things besieged city, Carya,
| think it was, to punish the people for
having Joined with the Persians against
the Greeks. The city fell, and the Greeks
burned it to the ground and murdered
all the men,
My, but that was tough, wasn't it,"
"Oh, that wasn't anything. It's what
they did to the women that makes me
furious. They took them all back to
Greece as prisoners. and made them
walk through the streets In triumphal
procession like cattle in a parade at
county fair. Worst of all, they made
law that the women should never have
new dresses or jewelry, but forever wear
the same robes and ornaments in which
they were captured.
They did this for the cheerful pur-
pose of continually notifying the poor
creatures with the remembrance of their
captivity as if they were likely to forget
it. Now, wasn't that outrageous? Think
OF having only one dress for years and
years, and having to trapse through the
streets in yearly parade in it, at that"
Gee, no. think it was great | wish
I'd been brother to one of EN-, instead
of a modern miss. Ny back won't get
over helping lift those double-deckers of
yours all winter. Those old Greeks had
a lot of horse sense, I'm thinkin'."
The summer girl adjusted her green
veil spotted with white and gave a con-
temptuous sniff.
You're as bad as the rest of the men
to talk, but l notice you all pick out the
girl that have the most fetching clothes,
on those Greeks in the rest of their
meanneSs, for it wasn't enough TO de-
prive the women of their extra clothes,
but they went to work and had big
statues made to represent the prisoners,
and stuck EN- up in front of their public
buildings for pillars, so that future gen.
erations might remember the victory and
know for sure some of the particular va
rieties of COntemptibenes the early
Greek male was capable Of. They called
the statues Caryatides, after the city, so
there could be no mistake about the in
suit intended. The disgusting things!
But, mercy, it's time we went to the
train. Here, you can carry my coat and
golf sticks and tennis racket and UNI
brella, and, oh, dear, forgot to send the
dress suit case by the expressman, but it
isn't heavy. You won't mind, dear I've
got my candy, and these flowers and my
book to carry"
Gee sighed the boy, 81 wisht was

public Office of any consequence prior
to 1861. and few men are left anywhere
either in public life or out of it. Sickles
was a member of the New York legisla-
ture away back in 1S47, and he was
member of congress from 1857 to 1861.
That was before he became soldier.
It was before he became a soldier, too,
that the incident happend which gave
him a national notOriety Of not very
enviable kind. 1t was Sickles who shot
down Phillip Barton Key just before the
war for a cause which justified the shoot
ing in the minds of those who understood
the circumstances and of the jury which
brought in a verdict of acquittal. The
tragedy occurred just iE front Of the
house which was soon afterward &C.
cupied by William H. Seward, on Lafay
cite square, in which James G. Blaine
died 80 years later, and which has since
been torn down to make way for the La
fayette opera house.
1t might have been thought that such
a tragedy would bring to an end the
public career of the man who was respOn-
sible for it; but not so with Sickles. He
made his military reputation in the civil
war, then he went to Spain as American
minister and since then has been a mem

corps commanders, Gen. Sickles, who
commanded the Third corps; Gen. Gren-
Vile M. Dodge, of the Sixteenth corps,
and Gen. James H. Wilson, of the West
ern cavalry corps.
All of these commanders were in Wash
ington, and they had with them many of
the officers who served under them.
Ofall the number the sturdiest in phys
zeal appearance is Gen. Granville NJ
Dodge, of Iowa, who is president of the
Society of the Army of the Tennessee.
and who, as chairman of the Sherman
statue committee, presided at the I'M
yelling ceremonies. Gen. Dodge, with
his great bushy head and stocky build,
looked younger by ten years than some of
the officers of the later day army who
grouped about him in uniform. He is as
fit physically to take command of an
army as scores of officers 20 years his
junior, and he is as active captain of
industry now as he was just after the
close of the war, when as chief engineer
of the Union Pacific railroad he supervised
the building of that road across the con-
tinent. Dodge bids fair to be the last
survivor of the old guard of civil war
chieftans, and when he goes he is pretty
sure to be commemorated by monument
here in Washington, where he has just
supervised the construction of men,

Washington with draped flag on either
side The name Washington" appeared
beneath the bust, together with the date
of the birth and death of washington.
Strange as it may seem, ever since the
stamp was given TO the public the depart
ment has been receiving inquiries as to
who was intended to be represented by
the portrait. although it is a copy OF the
most familiar of all the portraits of
Washington; while protests came from
others against printing the name of the
first president beneath his portrait on a
postage stamp, as though that were
needed. The most general complaint,
however, was that the lettering was too
small to be read without magnifying
glass. while the nose of the father OF his
country displayed an unseemly- red.
Altogether the complaints were so
many that the stamp was condemned and
a new one will take it's place in few
days. The new stamp will represent
Stuart's Washington. with shield for a
background, and with the lines so deli
cately shaded as to dispel the impression

900 people 40 years Congressman Cannon
ago. and the best that congress can nope
to do is to watch with lynX-like eyes
every avenue of expenditure, so as to save
all the money that Is possible. That is
the business of the appropriations COM
mittees of the house and the senate, and 1T
is business that keeps them thorouhgly
occupied from the beginning to the end
of a session.
Uncle Joe" Cannon, who has been
chairman of the appropriations commit
tee in the house for the last ten years has
combined the qualities needed in just
about the right proportion. He has been
watchful and economical without fail
ing to understand the needs of the cOun-
trys growth, and while Uncle Joe has
hurt the feelings of a great many MEM
bers and caused countless heartburnings
by his rigid scrutiny of money bills, he
has contrived to keep the respect and adj
miration of the house so that both re-
publicans and democrats look up to him
as straight and square.
Sam Randall had much the same kind
of reputation while he was chairman of
the appropriations committee during the
period of democratic ascendancy. Ran
dali and Cannon have been the two great
chairmen of appropriations in the last 40
years In the peculiar qualities which
go with that craftsmanship nobody else
has approached them, although such men
as Thad Stevens, Elihu Washburn, Henry
l.. Dawes and James A Garfield have oc-
cupied the position.
1t takes rugged honesty, great courage,
and a fine business instinct to make an
appropriations chairman.
