As soon as lilled cut, writing paper the sizo of the can, one for each, and when cool slip one over the fruit entiiviy, r.nd fill up the can, on the top of the paper, with boii.ii" juice, and seal at once. In this way the fruit will never mold ami it will keep any time. The paper keeps the fruit lrom vising to the top of the liquid.

An eastern writer on the above subject cites to a farm in Minnesota as an in stance of the profitableness of the crop. Eighteen bushels peracre was producedjthe wheat sold at $1-10 per bushel, and the tit Id netted o2'2, or more than twice the amount uaid for the land.

In Summer days, between the Atlantic and Pacific coast, farmers have daylight for 21 hours and 40 miuutes. At Salt Lake cotton yarn, spun from Utah cotton, sells for 20 cents a pound more than yarn from the States--. In Boston a man is fined $10 for stealing flowers, a woman $3. It seems that temptation is seven- tcnths stronger in one than ia the other. Where there is a love of home, of industry, of orchards, of religion, and good victuals, limbs are strong, and life is long ; the tongue is silent, and the eyes speak. Two hours reading of a good news paper is as profitable as six hours work out of twelve. Sometimes to know a thing is the same as to earn 100.

Uuth tuc eye ana tne nana of the most skillful operative must vary. Itutit is a fact that, except watches of the h.i -her grades, European v.auhes are the nrodnct of the cheapest labor of Switzer land, and the result is the worthless Ancres, Eepmes and so called I'atcnt Levers which soon cost more in attempted icpair.s than their original price. Common workmen, boys and" women, buy t!ie ionj:h separate parts of these watches from various lacto nes, polish and put them together, and take them to the nearest watch merchant, who stamps and engraves them with any name or brand that may be ordered. JJoio American Watches are Made. The American Wnltliam Wateh is made by no such uncertain process and by uo such incompetent workmen. All the Com pany's operations, from the reception of the raw" inateiials to the completion t f the Watch, are carried on under one roof, mid under one skillful and competent direction. But the great distinguishing feature of their Watches, is the fact' that their several parts are all made by Ihe finest, the most perfect and delicate machinery ever brought to the aid of human industry. Every one of the more than a hundred parts of every watch is made by a machine that infallibly repro duces every succeeding part with the most unvarying" accuracy, "it was only necessary to make one perfect watch of any particular style and then to adjust the hundred mau cliines necessary to reproduce every part of that watch, and it follows that every suc ceeding watch must belike it. The Company respectfully submit their watches on their nif.rits only. They claim to make A Better Article for ihe. Money by their improved mechanical processes than can be made tinder the old-fashioned handicraft system. They manufacture eveiy grade of watches, from a good, low priced and substantial article in solid silver huntng cases, to the finest chronometer and also ladies' watches in plain gold or the tinest en ameled and jeweled cases ; but the indispen sable requisite of all their watches is that they shall be good time keepers. It should be remembered that. except their single low est grade named "Home Watch Company, Boston," all watches made by them are fully warranted by a special certificate, Jind this warrantee is good at all tims against the Company or its agents.
