HOW soRREL rs PRESERVED.
Curious Industry of a French Agricul-
tural Community.


From the Scientific American.
A curious agricultural Industry is being
profftably carried on at Varedales. near
Meaux. France. 1t consists in the manu-
facture of preserved sorrel, which is put up
in tins or small casks and exported to all

This industry was started at Varedales
in the year 1850, but it still remains prac-
tically unknown to the world at large. 1t
requires a motive power of about eight
horsepower while quantity of steam (rep-
resenting seventeen horsepower is also
used for boiling and cooking purposes. AS
the water used must be extremely pure, an
arteslan well has been sunk in the grounds
of the factory, and yields a supply of the
necessary medium which, like the immortal
Bayard, is sans reproche.
Sorrel can only be grown four years in
succession upon the same land, which must

for the purpose covers superficial area OF

leaves are conveyed as quickly as possible
to the factory; here they are carefully
washed by mechanical means and are then
well cooked in specially designed digesters
or boilers.
This interesting industry, which is by no
dderation, as there is plenty OF room for
much larger trade to be done In preserved
sorrel-by no means an unpaiatabie table

most effective. -.

To Make a Canary Sing.

From the London Post
Generally any kind of soft, sibilant noise
will tempt bird te sing. A canary hung
in kitchen will usually start his song if
he hears. say, the frizzling OF frying-pan.
We utilize special devices to tempt the shy
singer. who is, perhaps, rendered the more
bashful by finding himself in novel sur
roundings For this purpose we employ
whistles and song organs which artiflcially
reproduce the tours of the roller. This
latter method IL found TO be Irresistible
when all other plans have failed The bird
feels apparently that he Is being chal-
leDged. ana forthwith responds to the chai-
lense by pouring forth thu best OF his

Pet animals are great comfort about

necessary annoyance. But once they be-
come a part of the daily life they more
than repay for their trouble by the cheer
and companionship they afford.
The brightest of all pets Is the canary
