CANNING PEACHES. 
Every passing year brings new discov¬ 
eries in regard to canniug fruit. We find it 
may be put up safely in ways which, a tew 
years since, would have been thought to¬ 
tally impracticable. Many persons yet cling 
to the old way of heating glass cans, which 
is utterly useless, and is no little work. Cold 
cans, set ou a wet cloth, are exactly as good 
as heated ones, and they never break uuless 
times use all these.) Then add a quart of 
good yeast and flavor to the taste. I flavor 
with wiutergreen; buy an ounce of oil and 
cut with alcohol* You can put it in stone 
jars and cover tight at night 5 in the morn¬ 
ing it will be drinkable. When fermented 
sufficiently, bottle. If there is as much snap 
in it as some I have made, don’t drink too 
much, for fear of getting a brick in your 
hat.— m. w. H.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
Weddliur Etiquette. 
A Country Boy would like to ascertain 
the correct mode of conducting a plain wed¬ 
ding ; also the duties of the bridegroom. 
Circumstances these :—Bride to he married 
in bridal costume; invited guests to be few; 
parties to start soon after the ceremony on 
their tour ; money abundant lor all sensible 
outlays. Please inform me through the col¬ 
umns of the Rural New-Yorker the pres¬ 
ent style of such affairs. 
Full dress for the bridegroom ; black dress 
of the disheveled, drenched, draggled ap¬ 
pearance- of a wet garment hung on a line 
to dry, which marks nearly all surf bathers. 
I supposed at first that she could not have 
been in the water at all; but closer iuspec 
turn showed her garments to be saturated 
with moisture. While I was trying to de¬ 
termine liow she could get so wet and look 
so well, she ran into the ocean with out¬ 
stretched arms, as if she had been Amphi- 
trite herself, welcoming her wandering lord 
back to his Eubccan palace with all the 
blandishments of her immortal charms. 
If Neptune were not her liege lord, she cer- 
do not allow the insensible perspiration to 
pass off freely. The importance of this lat¬ 
ter item, if not already understood, may be 
inferred from an article I read in a Rural 
New-Yorker entitled, '* Wind is a Cold?” 
A little reflection, however, will show that 
almost anything which would retain the 
exudation near the skin would also re¬ 
tain the heat, the feeling of which would 
soon demand some other outlet. This reten¬ 
tion of heat does take place to some extent; 
hence feather beds are warmer than most 
others, and in warm weather this accounts 
for some of the feeling of lassitude after 
lainly loved him, and was delighted to dis- sleeping on feathers. But if we have pro¬ 
play her love. 
Before he fairly reached her she threw 
herself iu enchanting madness into his ttt- 
it should be known to all. Proceed as fol¬ 
lows: 
Pare and halve your peaches. Pack them 
as closely as possible in the can without any 
sugar. When the can is full, pour in suffi¬ 
cient pure cold water to fill all the inter¬ 
stices between the peaches, and reach the 
brim of the can. Let stand long enough for 
the water to soak into all the crevices— 
say six hours—then pour in water to re¬ 
place what lias sunk away. Seal up the 
can, and all is done. Canned in this way, 
peaches retain all tiieir freshness and flavor. 
There will not be enough water in them 
to render them insipid. If preferred, a cold 
sirup could he used instead of pure water, 
but the peaches taste most natural without 
any sweet. 
Mrs. 8ilsree bids me give you her dis¬ 
covery in regard to earthen cans. Every 
one who has used them, knows how vexa¬ 
tious they arc, the sealing wax so frequent¬ 
ly rising in bubbles and letting air into the 
can, thus leaving the whole process to be 
gone through with agaiu. She effectually 
removes this difficulty by cutting a round 
piece of paper the size of the can top, and 
pressing it down firmly on top of the wax 
as soon as put on. This will serve a double 
purpose, as you can write the name of the 
fruit upon it, thus converting it into a label.

Ilow Prof, lilor Fry* Potatoes. 
Cut them, in whatever shape you wish, 
above a bowl of cold water, so that they will 
drop into it. Then drain anil wipe them 
dry. This must he done quickly, so as not 
to allow the potatoes to turn reddish. Have 
a coarse towel ready, then turn the potatoes 
into a colander, and immediately turn them 
into the towels, shake them a little, and 
quickly drop them into hot fat. When done 
turn them into a colander, sprinkle salt on 
them, and serve hot. If you wish them 
light or swelled, leave the potatoes in the 
cdlamler only about half a minute, then put 
them back in the very hot fat, stir for about, 
a minute, anil put them again in the colan¬ 
der. If the fat is very hot, when dropped 
into it for the second time, they will certain¬ 
ly swell. Bear in mind that fried potatoes 
must be eaten as hot as possible. Fry only 
one size at a time, as it takes three times as 
long to fry them when cut in pieces as when 
sliced._ 
Pickling Greeu Corn. 
Titk editor of the Rural World says: 
“This is a much cheaper method of pre¬ 
paring corn to be used iu winter in a fresh 
state than that of canning it:—When the 
corn is a little past the tenderest roasting- 
ear state, pull it; lake off one thickness of 
the husk, tie the rest down at the silk end in 
a close and tight manner; place them in a 
clean cask or barrel compactly together, and 
put on brine to cover the same of about t wo- 
thirds the strength of meat pickle. When 
ready to use in winter, soak in cold wafer 
over night, and if this does not. appear suffi¬ 
cient, change the water and freshen still 
more. Wc have used corn prepared in this 
way for two seasons, and it. is excellent, very 
much resembling the fresh article from the 
stalk,”_

PICTURE OF A WATER NYMPH. 
Junius Heniu Browne gives the follow¬ 
ing account of what lie saw at Rye Bench : 
I am afraid no oue will believe it, but L have 
actually seen a woman whom a bathing 
dress did not spoil, t don’t know who she 
is, but I fancy she must he a sister or cousin 
of Aphrodite, for no one not of the Queen 
ot Beauty’s blood could effect such a miracle 
in her own person as to be attractive in the 
guise of a dripping umbrella. 1 happened 
to be in the surf myself, and, coming up af¬ 
ter a dive, I observed near the shore a femi¬ 
nine figure which appeared both graceful 
and comely. 1 supposed the water in my 
eyes must have distorted my vision. 1 
rubbed them and looked again, expecting 
the fair form to lie unidealized suddenly. 
A PERFECT WATER-PROOF. 
A writer in an English paper says:—>By 
the way, speaking of water-proofs, I think J 
can give travelers a valuable hint or two. 
For many years 1 have worn India rubber 
povtionately less covering there would he a 
more ready outlet for it upward, and thus 
the hygienic condition would be met. 
Uuless, then, there be exudations from the 
feathers, why should not a new feather bed 
he as wholesome ns any others? But how 
long will it remain pure? The perspiration 
loaded with waste matter (soluble carrion, 
in fact,) driven into it by the animal heat 
from lit least half the form which it envelops, 
deposits there Its impurities and leaves them. 
The great difficulty is to air it properly to 
get the impurities out and to get pure air in 
through the close ticking. The hot summer 
sun and the wind, by much exposure to 
them, would do something; but few beds 
get these. They commonly get only the ex¬ 
posure of an hour or two iu a comparatively 
still chamber, and many do not get that. 
One may Imagine the internal impurity of 
such a bed after it has been slept upon a 
month, a year; but five years, ten years, 
twenty years! no, no, that baffles imagina¬ 
tion! The reeking secretions of, nobody 
knows how many, vile bodies, and in some 
I cases sick and dying bodies arc stowed away 
in these ticks, and when they are heated up 
by your kindly warmth they come out and 
attack yon with their countless little en¬ 
venomed dart?, just when you are least 
active, least able to resist them. Is not this 
reason enough why languor and headaches 
follow such a night’s rest? Bah ! 1 always

In answer to Clara Bliss, in Rural 
New-Y^orker, July 23 , I would say we are 
enjoying unlimited quantities of sunshine; 
we generally manage to get our share every 
summer. Our purple carpet warp has been 
used some years, and although not a purple | 
now, it is a good dark color, which sets off’ 
tiie bright colors of the rags to good advan¬ 
tage. I recommended it as a good color for 
warp, and a number of ladies of more expe¬ 
rience than 1 have had, to whom I have 
spoken about it, say they think it the best 
color for warp they can find. I suppose you 
know the ladies of Northern Ohio are noted 
for their handsome rag carpets. I have seen 
some prettier than any ingrain 1 ever saw.

fruit is taken out, wash it in cold water, and 
it is fit for immediate use."
