two bowls-one for the sugar and one
for the fruit-that will hold just the
quantity of each. AS the fruit is

tighten the top still more. This strip
does not make the fruit sweet. II
you prefer to have II sweeter increase
the proportion OF sugar. Peaches put
up this way in cans look better than
when cooked In a kettle, then dipped
into the can. When the peaches are
large they must be cut In halves, but
leave in the pits for flavor.

No Wonder the Bird Was Not Tender
 When Served.
 One of the most annoying things about swans Is that they live to an extremely great age and that 1t Is impossible for the ordinary observer to guess what their years may be. President Grover Cleveland once had an amusing experience with some swans, according to writer in the American Magazine. He had been in the south shooting and brought home . number of wild swans, one of which he sent to each member of his cabi- net and to some other associates.
 "All the boys," said MT. Cleveland. thanked me politely for having re- membered them, but none of them seemed to have much to say about how they enjoyed the birds.
 Carlisle, found, had his cooked on a night when he was dining out. Another, when 1 asked him, said he hoped l wouldn't mind, but he had sent his home to his old mother. Thur Der didn't mention his bird at all for two days. Finally I asked him about 1t.
 Thurber. did you get that swan all rightY
 "'Yes, sir-oh, yes, got the swan all right, thank you,' and he bent over his desk and seemed very busy.
 "'Fine bird,' said.
 ".Yes. sir, fine bird and he went on working.
 "'Enjoy eating him. Thurber?'
 "He waited a minute. and then he said: Well. sir. guess they didn't cook him right at my house. They cooked him only two days And be went on working without cracking smile"

Edible Flowers of India.

Many edible flowers. it appears. are to be. found in India. One of the most appreciated grows on tree about which we have very little information. but which in the country itself is named the "mhowad." The natives consume an enormous number of these flowers. whosA pale yellow corollae are pulpy and thick, and they prepare them in various ways.
 When they are fresh they are put iu cakes, to which they give a sweet flavor, but they are more especially used for making bread after they have been dried and reduced to flour. By allowing them to ferment 8 kind of wine is produced. and by distilling them a brandy is obtained of which the Hindoos are very fond.-Vulgarisa- ton Scienti6Que.

 A physician, says a medical 1ou1ua1 that vouches for the truth of the story. was once summoned in haste to attend the child of family that lived in two rooms in tae heart of a large American city-not New York. The child had been seized suddenly and seriously and just at election time. The mother was in despair. and when the doubt full prognosis was given she broke into wailing and violent self condem- nation for some horrible sin of the family to which she said the child's Illness was due-a direct punishment for their crime. She would go and curse the magistrate for 1t all, her husband should resign from "the force." and such evil ways should be renounced forever
 Curious to know how the magistrate could be held responsible for the child's illness. the doctor finally Sc cured the confession that the crime of the poor. conscience stricken woman consisted in allowing the names of many fraudulent voters to be regis tered as residing in her house. in swearing to the lie, etc. The magis- trate also had demanded this of all the neighbors in return for indescrib- able political favors.
