vassorated Fruit sp
Mr, L. 33. Rio°, of Port Huron, Mich.,
read an excellent paper on " Money in
:Evaporated Fruits." lie said emphatically
that there was money in evaporated fruits
if the proper mens were taken to get it ont.
In the first, place it was necessary to esti-
mate carefully the amount of work, to be clone
in the evaporating seeeon, usually lasting 90
days. The sort of dryers to be used de-
pended upon the amount of fruit to be
evaporated, lie gave a lot of information
as to the heading of evaporatorand how
to run them,
Mr. A. J. Rice, Socha, N. Y., gave his
experience at evaporating during the past
twenty years. A barrel of Baldwin -apples
would make 21 pounds of evaporated fridt,
bringing Ssn. 26 clear, and the skins and
cores would make 33 pounds and bring 14;
cents a pound. So the barrel of culls
brought is1.45 at the lowest estimate. Mr.
Rice also gave useful inforniation as to the
coat of evaporators and the like.
Farm Horticulture.
"Horticulture from a Farmer's Stand-
point" was then taken up by Mr. John
ICernighass, of Beniniller, Huron county.
On every well -regulated farm, he said, there
should be an orchard, kitchen vegetable and
fruit gerden and lawn. First he placed the

A New Y ork despatch says : Warden
Brown, of Si ng Sing, sent to the Deputy
County Clerh to -day the eertificate of death
and autopsy on the body of Martin D.
Loppy, exec ted on Deeember 7. Drs. Mc-
Donald and Yard report that there was a
series of for r brief contacts, occnpying in
all 52, second . The first lasted 15 seconds
and the sew id 11 seeonds, the third 151e
and the last le ?s seconds. There were brief
intervals bet)hreen each contact to permit
of the wettino of the electrodes. The read-
ings taken by Prof. Dandy from the volt
meter indicakted a pressure of 1,716 volts
with nearly s,bven amperes. An examination
was made of the wrist pulse and the
maculation of the heart after the last con-
tact. The prisener was pronounced dead
at 12-05. The first contact took place at
11,52-23. " Death," the physicians say,
" was apparyntly instantaneous and pain.
le81'100 ompanYeng the certificate is a long
statement of the autopsy by Dr. Ira Van
Gesion, whe 4ouducted it. " Rigor mortis,"
he says, " v: as ahnost *completely if not
entirely abs Alt except in the right leg."

VanGieson, were perfectly natural and

or fatty material.The eyeball of the only

were necessary to a perfect farm. The
greater part of the orchard should be given
to the apple. On an ordinary farm not
more than five acres should be given
to orchard, and three-fourths of the
part given to apples should be given to
winter varieties. Next to apples he would
grow plums, then pears. Some would place
• cherries third on the list, but to him they
were too much trouble in picking and took
too nmeli time in a very busy Season.
Peaches he would place after pears. He
alluded to the many drawbacks to fruit
growing—the troubles that befell the trees
and those which attacked the fruit. He
emphasized the necessity of not undertaking
too much in the way of horticulture, but
doing well what was undertaken. The
lawn, he said, should include a flower
garden and ornamental trees.
email Fruite.
A paper on "Srnall fruits for the busi-
ness man," by Mr. Alex. Saunders, of
Goderich, was read by the secretary, Mr.
• Saunders not being present. Mr. Saunders
held that the cultivation of small fruit
would always repay the grower for the time
spent upon it. The paper dealt with straw-
berries, raspberries, gooseberries and grapes,
and touched onplums'pears, crabapples
and apples. It advised the members to go
in for small fruits as a means of pleasure,
and it would be found to be a means of
profit as well.
Mr. John Richards, of Ancaster, said he
had been growing email fruits for eight
years aud gave particular attention to straw-
berries and found that much improvement
could be made on the old style of berries.
His experience was that the large berries
paid well. From a sixth of an acre he made
575 from fruit and 5140 from plants in one
season. He had found by experience that
ten acres of land was as much as could be
worked to pay if devoted to small fruits.
He found the Jessie and Bubach to be the
best varieties in quality.
Mr. Richards was plied with questions
relating to others. Mr. Race asked if the
Jessie coulkl be relied upon, Mr. Plchards
replying thatit was not reliable and for that
reason he was getting rid of his vines. The
rIlaverland and Saunders he recommended.
, Mr. Craig; of the Ottawa Experimental
Farm, said he found the Jessie to have the
fault complained of by Messrs. Race and
-Richards. He gave it as his opinion that
the varieties of stawberries should not be
multiplied.
Tree Lifting and Planting.
Mr. D. Nicol, of Cataraqui, read a short
paper on "Lifting, Planting and Trans-
planting Trees." He attributed a great
deal of the failure of trees to the lifting and
-planting. The lifting and transplanting of
large trees wee aleo the ruse Of a good deal
of failure. Large treee could be
fully supplied supplied if those who wanted them
were willing to go to the heavy expellee of
lifting, and even then the large trees.' made
slow progress in comparison with trees
transplanted at the age of two years. B g
trees transplanted were also liable to be
blown over. Many trees, he said, were
ruined by rough handling. In localities
where the frost goes to 30 0 below zero the.
trees transplanted in the fall were generally
winter killed, but in milder climates the
planting might be done in the fall.
In the discussion which followed, Mr.
Morris held that a great deal of the lose' of
trees was due to the fact that the planters
did not pack the soil sufficiently. When the
tree is put in and the hole two-thirds filled,
• the earth should be packed as firmly as if it
had been pounded and the restfilled in with
• looser earth. In regard to pearsparticularly,
he advised planting in the fall.
Non -Productive orchards.
Mr. F. G. H. Patterson read a paper on
" Some of the Causes of Non -Productive-
ness of Apple Orchards." He argued that
the statement made that it would not be
well if the apple orchards were more pro-
ductive was false. Canada could not pro-
duce too many apples. Many orchards did
not pay because of the lack of the two
" q's,,quality and quantity. The leading
cause of unfruitfulness was starvation.
Farmers too often went on planting crops
on their orchards, just as if there were no
trees there. The wonder was not that the
yield was small, but that the trees lived at
all with such treatment. Not a single crop
Of rye, oats or wheat, he claimed, should be
taken from the land on which was an
orchard. The use of the land, however,
need not be lost, Roots, _corn, peas, buck-
wheat, hay, pasture and even an occasional
crop of barley ceuld be raised with benefit
to the young orebard, if accompanied by a
judicious use of manure. The second great
cause of non-productivenes • was that
the soil or locality was unsuitable,
Before planting growers should study
these points carefully. The third cause
was the too great vigor and growth of
wood. Many well-nianured and well -
cultivated orchards failed to yield largely,
especially in deep loamy soil. As remedies
Mr. Patterson suggested allowing the
orclsards to go to sod for a considerable
period.; heading the trees in thoroughly ;
s digging a trench on one side of each tree
and cutting every root to be found there.
The last mentioned process, he said, would
often cure barrennes when nothing else
would. The bark louse, he said, was
reeponsible for some non.productiveness,
though it should not be, as the pest could
easily bo got rid of. Over and under prim-
ing contribute somewhat to non -productive-
ness, . but the greatest and commonest cense
of all was the first mentioned—starvation.
A very interesting discussion followed, in
which it was brought out that it would not
be hurtful to grow rye in the orchard so
long as the crop was not taken off, but
plowed in to improve the soil.

lhere were no discolorations except at the
knee, where the electrode was applied, and
on the checks, where there were marks
corresponding with the restraining straps.
On the knee there was a superficial reddish-
ness about 311 by 5 inches, but the true skin
bore no marks. Under the head electrode
there were no marks. The interior of the
mouth was normal, and the tongue and teeth
showed no signs of injury. The muscles
were critically examined and no indications
of giolence produced by the current were
found. In comparing Loppy's death with
that of the four others executed in Sing
Sing, Dr. VanGieson says a current of
1,400 to 1,600 volts does no damage to any
of the internal organs, tissues, or muscles.
The local thermiceffects were limited to
the outer scarf skin, which, when removed,
resembled an ordinary water -blister. Where
the skin had been xposed to the weather, as
that on the forehead and scalp, no blistering

CHURCII SUBSCRIPTIONS.
A Case of General Interest Before the Divi-
sion Court at Ingersoll.
An Ingersoll despatch says : At the
Division Court here yesterday the case of
the Baptist Church vs. Smith, Cook and
Morgan occupied the whole of the afternoon,
and was postponed until next Tuesday as
unfinished. The case arises out of the re-
fusal of the above-named gentlemen to pay
to the treasurer of the trustees of the
church the amount of their subscription
towards the erection of the new church.
There has been a dispute for some time be-
tween the members of this body, on account
of the pastor,Rev. J. F. Barker, allowing
some parties to partake of the communion
last spring. The tenets of the church state
that no unbaptizei person shall partake
of the sacrament and the church people say
the parties referred to were regularly
baptized into the church by immersion, and,
therefore, were entitled to be received .as
members. The dissenting portion of the
congregation contended that as the parties'
names were not on the church roll they
were not entitled to sit at the Lord's table.
On account of this dispute the pastor sent
iu his resignation,
and at a congregational
meeting held shortly after it was refused by
the majority. The minority, among whom
were the gentlemen against whom the action
is brought, withdrew from the church and
asked that their names be struck off the
chureirroll, which -was done', The present
action of the church is to test their power
to collect the amount of the subscriptions.

A New York despatch says : Mrs. J. G.

protection of the police against the detective
who, she says, her husband has put on her
track. Mrs. Blaine is in this city attending
a referee's hearing in her suit for divorce.
She is registered at the New York hotel.
No sooner had she been installed in the
hotel, she tells Inspector Brynes, than
private detectives began to swarm about
her, giving her no peace. They even
questioned the cabman that drove her to the
referee's office as to where she went and
when. The cabman told her of it. At the
same time it was discovered that a woman
guest, registered in the hotel on the same
floor as she, was a spy. This woman tried
in every way to induce the servants to tell
her everything they saw or heard about
Mrs. Blaine. She expressed a wish to have
her room changed, and when she hea.rd that
Mrs. Blame was going away she asked to be
ailowed to look at her room. Mrs. Blaine
believes that her object was to see if there
were any letters lying around loose. Mrs.

these things were made known to her. She

IT is no crime to get drunk, and a police-
man has no right arrest a mad or a
woman for simply being drunk, if Judge
Wurtele's interpretation of the law is cor
rect. In the Court of Queen's Bench at
Montreal on Thursday he quashed the con-
viction of one Zotique Gauthier, who was
arrested and convicted on a charge of being
drunk. The conviction was under section 8
of the Vagrancy Acte which reads ; " Clause
a disturbance in any street orhighway by
screaming, 'swearing, or singie.g, or by being
drunk, or by impeding or incommoding
peaceful paesengers." The judge held that
there was no evidence of Gauthier creating
a disturbance and the evidence as to his
being drunk not conclusive. His Lordship
also held that the fact of a man being merely
drunk, while he was reeking no disturbance,
was not an offence in the oyes of the law,
although it was a morel offence. Mr. Cahill
might make a note of this.

legalise the somewhat peculiar relations
which have for so many years existed be-
tween Iiimeelf and . the still charming
dowager dechess of 1VIanehester, The

and political Reeria for many a long year,
and eo great was the constaecy of the lord
to the duehese that English society toler-
ated, both publiely and privately, the
ietiinacy between the two to euch an extent
that no one would haveever dreamt of being
guilty of committing the solecism of in-
viting the one without the other.
Every dinner et which the Duchess was
present was certain to be attended by Lod
Hartington, who WAS a fellow guest of hers
at eech country house which she visited.
Her husband, the Duke of Manchester, a
good-natured, harmless and innofi'ensivd
creature, died nearly two years ago and a
marriage would have taken place between
the widow and the Marquis last spring
bad it not been for the obstacle raised by
Lord Hartington's aged father, the Duke of
Devonshire, who viewed with the utmost
disfavor the projected union. The couple
therefore decided to postpone the ceremony

. TURGIFT SEASON. '
Some Practical Advice hi Regard to the
Making of Presents.
About this time of year the average man
yearns for the wealth of Astor or Gould that
he might afford to purchase Christmas gifts
for his family and friends.
There is a pleasure in giving which
prompts a man to throw expense to the dogs
and bankrupt himself by buying right and
left until he wearies from sheer exhaustion.
That is one way of doing it, or rather
over -doing it, but there is a common-sense
middle course svhiali can be safely followed
by 'people of moderate means.
Before making your Christmas purchases,
find out what you owe and pay it. Settle
up the little accounts of the hatcher, the
baker and the candlestick maker, and then,
with an easy conscience, go ahead providing
for your friends.
Go in for quantity, or rather multiplicity.
It is better to remember many with modest
tokens than few with costly ones. If an
outlay of five cents will convince a friend of
your good will, it will be a great result
achieved at small cost.
Do not distribute your „gifts among people
who do'not need them, do not want them
and who regard the action as au intrusion.
Remember that a barrel of flour is of more
use to a poor man than an embroidered
piano cover.
Be practical in your selection, and even
if you should not receive a single present in
return you will enjoy the satisfaction of
having added to the happiness of othess.—

And a Pug at That.
A pug clog died the other day. The ani-
mal's name was Beauty, and he belonged to
a Mrs. Dr. McNair, of New Jersey. Not
content with swathing the dead body of her
pet in silk ribbons and'placindit in a silver
casket, Mrs. Dr. McNair made an effort to
have the remains buried in a cemetery.
Being unable to accomplish this, the grief-
stricken wonsan showed her loving respect
for the dead by having the body lie in state
for two days in the front parlor of a hotel.
Yesterday Beauty was buried. The maudlin
sentimentalityof the scene at the grave was
enhanced by the reading of a silly and badly
written poem by Dr. McNair. All this might
have been well enough if "Dear, dead
Beauty " had been any other kind of a deg
than a pug.--eVew York World.

We, respectfully ask your ceee
attention to this statement, brief len
important, and which we will clivid,e
into three parts, viz
I, THE SITUATION; 2, TIIE NECES-
SITY ; 3 THE REMEDY.
1st. The Situaticm
Health depends upon the state of the
blood. The blood conveys every
element which goes to make up all the
organs of the body, and it carries away
all waste or dissolved and useless
material. Every bone, muscle, nerve
and tissue lives upon what the blood
feeds to it. Moreover, every beating of
the heart, every drawing of the breath,
every thought flashing through the
brain, needs a supply of pure blood, to
be done rightly and well.
2d. The Necessity
The human race as a whole is in
gi eat need of a good blood purifier.
There are about 2400 disorders incident
to the human frame, the large majority
arising from the impure or poisonous
condition of the blood. Very few in-
dividuals enjoy perfect health, and
fewer still have perfectly pure blood.
Scrofula, a disease as old as antiquity,
has been inherited by generation after
generation, and manifests itself today
virulent and virtually unchanged from
its ancient forms. If we are so fortu-
nate as to eacape hereditary impurities
in the blood, we may contract disease
from germs in the air we breathe, the
food we eat, or the water we drink.
3d. The Remedy
' In Hood's Sarsaparilla is found the
tnedicine for all blood diseases. Its
remarkable cures are its loudest praise.
No remedy has ever had SO great suc-
cess, no medicine was ever accorded so
great public patronage. Scrofula in its
severest forms has yielded to its potent
Powers: blood poisOning and salt rheum
and many other diseases have been
permanently cured by it. If you want
statements of cures, write to us. If
you need a ,gbod blood purifier, take
