FRUIT MARKETING. Ex-Consul Germain's Observations in Europe. By Eugene Germain of Los Angeles at the Southern California Pomological Society. But a few years ago California products were, with the exception of grain and canned fruit, hardly known in continental European markets. The last decade has brought about great changes. England imports annually large quantities of our green fruits, such as oranges, apples, pears, plums, peaches, apricots, etc. In dried fruits: apricots, peaches, nectarines, prunes, apples and raisins. Honey, both comb and extracted; beeswax, borax and hops. In cereals: wheat, barley, beans, mustard and other seeds. Germany comes next in importance as a consumer of our products, and imports green apples, pears and in addition all kinds of dried fruits, beans, wheat, brewing barley and honey. France, Holland, Belgium and Switzerland come next as consumers of our products, with the exception of green fruit, which, so far as I know, has not as yet been introduced into these countries. Our products have become favorably known, and since all of the above countries import direct from America, which if former years was not the case, the retailer is able to sell these commodities at a reasonable figure, and so sales are increasing rapidly. To illustrate, I would mention that Switzerland, which imported but $720 worth of American dried fruits in 1894 (population about 3,500,000), received $750,000 worth during the year 1897. Our dried fruit can now be found on sale in every retail grocery and delicatessen store of any city and hamlet of that country. The same proportion of increase can be reported for England and Germany and the other northern and central European States. I believe that our State is destined to supply the world's market with fruits and some of our other products, but in order to gain a permanent foothold and retain it, we must grade and pack honestly, so that purchasers can feel safe in placing their orders directly with us and be reasonably sure that when they order and pay for goods before they can get a chance to see them, they will get just exactly what they contracted for. Cost of Transportation.—Transportation charges to European seaboards are low indeed, in fact, they are calculated to encourage exports. Why, just think of it, on dried fruits from California terminals to Havre, France, or Antwerp, Belgium, the rate for boxed dried fruit is $110 per 100 pounds only. On honey to Hamburg, Germany, the rate is 45 cents per 100 pounds, while on the same article from Antwerp, OVIMULSION (Cod Liver Oil, Eggs and Brandy) Is Easy to Take Its highly nutritive properties recommend its use to the convalescent, to those who are run down, to those suffering from wasting diseases, to all who turn to Cod Liver Oil for the nourishment and tissue-building qualities it is so well known to possess. Yet, after attacks of La Grippe and all other diseases that have reduced vitality to a low degree, something more efficient and easily digested than simple Cod Liver Oil is required. Ovimulsion combines all the elements of the pure oil, egg yolks and prime brandy. It is stimulating to a slight degree, but there is no reaction. It is easily digested and of pleasant taste and odor. Two teaspoonfuls of pure oil are contained in each tablespoonful of Ovimulsion. Unlike other Cod Liver Oil preparations, its tissue-building properties are entirely assimilated. There is no waste.

On her way home, a month ago, she stopped temporarily in San Francisco. On the street there one day she met an emaciated figure in army blue; hobbling along with the aid of a heavy cane, in a vain search for employment. It was Ballantyne, discharged from the United States volunteer service and invalidated home from the Philippines, after a fever which left him in such poor health as to destroy his usefulness as a soldier. Ballantyne was about to pass his former wife without speaking to her, but she, when she saw his wasted form and miserable condition, felt all her old love for him revive. She hurried him into a carriage and to her hotel, where comfortable quarters, good food and the services of a competent physician soon produced a marked improvement in his health. Last week the two were remarried, and have just returned to Highmoor together. A Frightful Blunder Will often cause a horrible Burn, Scald, Cut or Bruise.

Continued from First page. policy advocated by the Irrigation Congress for building federal storage reservoirs by national appropriations, and State irrigation works with revenue to be derived by the States from leasing the public grazing lands. Make it the policy of this Trans-Mississippi Commercial Congress! It is the creation of commerce. Make it the policy of even commercial and business and manufacturer's association in the United States. It means the inauguration of a new era of development and prosperity within our own borders greater than we have ever before seen. And above all make it the cause and bring to it the advocacy and support of every labor organization in the whole country, because of the marvelous increase in opportunities for work for the workers and homes for the home-builders. It is the solution of the labor problem and the problem of the unemployed for many a long year." RESOLUTIONS. Adopted by the Trans-Mississippi convention. Resolved That the Trans-Mississippi Commercial Congress indorses the following resolutions which embody the resolutions and policy advocated by the National Irrigation Congress as to national and state irrigation policy for the reclamation and settlement of arid America: We favor the cession of the public lands of the nation to the respective states and territories only upon conditions so strict that they will insure the settlement of such lands by actual settlers in small tracts, and absolutely prevent their monopoly in large bodies under private ownership. We urge upon the American people the profound importance of the social political and philanthropic features of the great irrigation movement, in ultimate aim being that we may become a nation of rural homes, rather than a nation of great cities. We favor the leasing of public grazing lands at a nominal rental in limited areas to settlers farming adjacent lands, the revenue from rental to go back to the states and territories for irrigation development. Leases to be subject to right of reclamation by irrigation and of settlement on lands actually cultivated; title of grazing lands to remain in federal government until actual settlement; the leasing of said lands should be under control of the states and territories where situated and the revenues arising therefrom to be expended by said states or territories; counties in which said lands are located to have a just proportion of the revenues. We favor the preservation and development of our natural resources by the construction of storage reservoirs by the federal government, for good Cost of Transportation.—Transportation charges to European seaboards are low indeed, in fact, they are calculated to encourage exports. Why, just think of it, on dried fruits from California terminals to Havre, France, or Antwerp, Belgium, the rate for boxed dried fruit is $1 10 per 100 pounds only. On honey to Hamburg, Germany, the rate is 45 cents per 100 pounds, while on the same article from Antwerp, Belgium, to Bale, Switzerland, a distance of about 200 miles, the rate is 45 cents per 100 pounds when shipped in car lots of 22,046 pounds, minimum weight. Duties.—The customs duty on canned fruit is very high in all the states of Europe, excepting England, which has them on the free list; these goods being classed as the table luxuries, but on the other hand the rate on dried fruit is very light. In Switzerland the duty on canned fruits is $3.75 per 100 pounds, gross weight. This includes the weight of the boxes and tins. With France and Switzerland, I understand, we now have reciprocity treaties, and the above quoted duties have been somewhat reduced. Fresh fruits, however, are admitted free in almost every State in Europe, but in the past two years restrictive measures have been taken against the importation of American green and dried fruits on account of the so-called San Jose scale. In Switzerland the importation of green and dried fruits was in fact entirely prohibited. I think, however, that with time we will overcome these difficulties, if our government takes these matters up in earnest. On cereals, the duty in all European States is very light, and in years of crop failures is often taken off altogether for certain periods. All in all, the outlook for California products is encouraging, and if we make a good exhibit of our products at the coming World's Fair in 1900, which by all means should be done, good results may be looked for. LOVE RETURNED. Mrs. Ballantyne Meets Her Divorced Husband, Invalid Home from Manila, and What Came of It. CHICAGO, June 9.—A special from Highmoor, S. D., says that the return to that town of a man and woman divorced five years ago, but who are again husband and wife, adds a romantic story of love and war. Five years ago Henry Ballantyne and wife of Highmoor agreed to separate. They had been married not quite twelve months. Ballantyne was a prosperous grain buyer and owned several good farms. These he deeded to his wife. The few hundred dollars he was able to scrape together in cash he put in his pocket, and left to begin life afresh in a new location. As soon as he had gone, his wife sued for a divorce. There was no defense, and a decree was granted. The land given her by her husband she sold to advantage, and by shrewd reinvestment. Ballantyne was about to pass his former wife without speaking to her, but she, when she saw his wasted form and miserable condition, felt all her old love for him revive. She hurried him into a carriage and to her hotel, where comfortable quarters, good food and the services of a competent physician soon produced a marked improvement in his health. Last week the two were remarried, and have just returned to Highmoor together. A Frightful Blunder Will often cause a horrible Burn, Scald, Cut or Bruise.

BATTLE WITH WOLVES Kansas Man Barely Escapes Being Stain by the Enraged Beasts A battle for life with wolves in Kansas in the year 1899 is an occurrence so remarkable as to be almost beyond belief; but, according to the story of several reputable citizens, that is what recently befell a man from Guthrie, Oklahoma. He was traveling overland in a covered wagon, and the adventure occurred between the towns of Burlington and Gridley, in the eastern portion of the State. In approaching a ravine spanned by a culvert he was startled to see two large gray wolves of a species almost extinct in a settled prairie country coming toward him at a run. They plunged under the culvert and the man drove across, tied his horse to the fence and went back to investigate their stance conduct. He had scarcely approached the mouth of the culvert when both wolves sprang out and savagely attacked him. Unarmed and disconcerted by the suddenness of the attack, he defended himself with his hands as well as possible while retreating toward the wagon. The animals leaped at his throat and bit and tore his flesh and clothing, and the man became so weak and exhausted by the struggle and loss of blood that the conflict would have resulted fatally for him but for the opportunity arrival of a Mr. Reed and a companion from Burlington. They secured a rifle from the wagon and wounded one of the wolves, but both of them escaped. The cause of their extraordinary boldness was revealed by the discovery of three well-grown cubs, two of which were killed and the other captured alive. The bleeding and disheveled traveler was taken to Gridley, where medical attendance was necessary to enable him to continue on his journey to Guthrie. He will carry to his grave the scars of some of the wounds received in his foolhardy invasion of a den of wolves. It is probable the pack was traveling from some distant place when the encounter occurred, as no gray wolves had been seen in the country for many years. The den under the culvert did not have the appearance of a permanent abode, and no doubt the cubs were placed there temporarily while the parent wolves were foraging. Last fall I sprained my left hip while handling some heavy boxes. The doctor I called on first said it was a slight strain and would soon be well, but it grew worse and the doctor then said I had rheumatism. It continued to grow worse and I could hardly get around to areas to settlers farming adjacent lands, the revenue from rental to go on the states and territories for irrigation development. Leases to be subject to right of reclamation by irrigation and settlement on lands actually cultivated; title of grazing lands to remain in federal government until actual settlement; the leasing of said lands is under the control of the states and territories where situated and the revenues arising therefrom to be expended by said states or territories; counties in which said lands are located to have a just proportion of the revenues. We favor the preservation and development of our natural resources by the construction of storage reservoirs by the federal government; for good protection and to save for us in aid of navigation and irrigation the flood waters which now run to waste and cause overflow and destruction; as recommended in the report Col. Hirault M. Chittenden, and we urge the adoption of the recommendations of the report as to the construction of storage reservoirs in the arid region as a part of the national policy of internal improvements. We favor the construction by the federal government of storage reservoirs and irrigation works where necessary to furnish water for the reclamation and actual settlement of the arid public lands. The value of the irrigated farm are created are alike dependent upon sufficient public control of the water supply and the prevention of water becoming a speculative commodity. We believe that the water of all streams should forever remain public property; that this right to its use should inherit not in the individual or the ditch; but in the land reclaimed. Whereas, The law relating to this session of public lands for the purpose of irrigation generally known as "Carey act," by its language applies only to States and not territories; Resolved That said act should be amended so as to be equal in its operations and extend its benefits to the territories as well as States. Resolved That appreciating the value of a system of improvements on the native vigile waterways of the Mississippi and Ohio basin of irrigation; and making productive vast areas of arid land for the continued improvement of these rivers for transportation purposes and diminishing the destructive power floods; we recommend that the government continue construction of competetive engineers; until a better system shall have been discovered; and further retain control of all navigable water; and cede no rights to private parties or companies that might interfere with systematic prosecution of this work. Whereas, The protection and preservation of timber lands is a matter high importance, not only with relation with maintenance of sources; but also for the favorable influence of foreign lands on the climatic conditions; effecting the sanitary welfare and water supply of the country; therfore Resolved That we re-affirm our declarations of the importance and necessity urge upon congress States enactment of such laws will provide for the protection of our forests from needless destruction and for the practice and care of new forest "Evil Dispositions Are Early Shown." Just so evil in the blood comes out in shape of scrofula, pimples, etc., in children and young people. Taken in time it can be eradicated by using Hood's Sarsaparilla. In older people, the aftermath of irregular living shows itself in bilious conditions, a heavy head, a foul mouth, a general bad feeling. It is the blood, the impure blood, friends, which is the real cause. Purify that with Hood's Sarsaparilla and happiness will reign in your family. Blood Poison—"I lived in a bed of fire for years owing to blood poisoning that followed small pox. It broke out all over my body, itching intensely. Tried doctors and hospitals in vain. I tried Hood's Sarsaparilla. It helped. I kept at it and was entirely cured. I could go on the housetops and shout about it." Mrs. J. T. Williams, Carbondale, Pa. Scrofula Sores—"My baby at two months had scrofula sores on cheek and arm. Local applications and physicians' medicine did little or no good. Hood's Sarsaparilla cured him permanently. He is now four, with smooth fair skin." Mrs. S. S. Wroteen, Farmington Del. Hood's Sarsaparilla Never Disappoints Hood's Pills cure liver lilies; the non-irritating and only cathartic to take with Hood's Sarsaparilla. It is probable the pack was traveling from some distant place when the encounter occurred, as no gray wolves had been seen in the country for many years. The den under the culvert did not have the appearance of a permanent abode, and no doubt the cubs were placed there temporarily while the parent wolves were foraging. Last fall I sprained my left hip while handling some heavy boxes. The doctor I called on first said it was a slight strain and would soon be well, but it grew worse and the doctor then said I had rheumatism. It continued to grow worse and I could hardly get around to work. I went to a drug store and the druggist recommended me to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm. I tried it and one-half of a 50-cent bottle cured me entirely. I now recommend it to all my friends.—F. A. BABCOCK, Erie, Pa. It is for sale by P. A. Derege. Still In the Ways of Sin. This story was told by a Boston plumber: "Some years ago one of the city missions up home had a job of plumbing done at its meeting house. The work was much more extensive than showed on the surface, and when the bill was presented the minister in charge insisted he was being robbed. He made a frightful kick, and had several redhot interviews with the boss of the shop. After the last and warmest of these confabs he returned to the mission sizzling with wrath and found a well known local character awaiting him. The fellow had been a notorious professional crook, but growing too old and rheumatic for safe cracking he concluded to mend his ways, and the parson had promised to aid him in getting an honest start. "Well, James," said the parson sympathetically, 'have you decided on what you want to do?' "Yes, boss,' replied the ex-crook. 'Seeing as how I'm a pretty good mechanic, I thought I might open a bit of a shop.' "A shop!" replied his benevolent friend. 'What kind of a shop?' "A plumber's shop,' said the burglar. "Oh!' exclaimed the minister, rising suddenly and picking up his hat. 'I was under the impression that you wanted to reform.'"—New Orleans Times-Democrat. "It is an old trick among the light-fingered fraternity to divert attention from themselves by raising the cry of "stop thief" and so putting the public on a false scent. There is a certain kind of advertisement who is expert in similar methods. One of his tricks is to tell women that it "revolting" to write to a man in consultation about disease. "Women should write to a woman." The remainder of the advertisement invites women to write for advice, and is carefully worded to convey the idea that the advice offered is that of a physician. But a close examination shows that there is no physician's advice offered and that whole clamor of "write to a woman" is raised to divert attention from the fact that the woman offering advice is not a doctor, and therefore not competent to give medical advice: For the advice of an unqualified woman is just as dangerous as the advice of an unqualified man. Women who are sick can obtain medical advice free by letter, by consulting Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. As an expert in the treatment and cure of female diseases Dr. Pierce takes the highest rank. In over thirty years' experience he has treated half-a-million women and of that great number ninety-eight per cent, have been perfectly and permanently cured. Each letter is held as private and its contents guarded as a sacred confidence. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription makes Weak Women Strong and Sick Women Well. Paralysis is sometimes caused by overwork, either mental or physical. There are many other exciting causes, such as exposure to cold, excesses, emotional influences, etc. The approach of the disease is generally gradual. Frequently the first warning is a vague feeling of headache, vertigo and muscular weakness. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People restore the nutrition of the nerves and have cured many cases of paralysis when all other remedies and methods of treatment have failed. The record of this remedy entitles it to a thorough trial. Perhaps there is no man better known in the city of Lawrence, Kansas, than Mr. G. H. Snyder. To a reporter Mr. Snyder related a wonderful story. He said: "I am now seventy years of age. About three years ago I experienced a coldness or numbness in the feet, then creeping up my legs until it reached my body. I grew very thin in flesh, my appetite was very poor and I did not relish my food. At last I became so bad I was unable to move about. I commited several distinguished physicians, one telling me that I had locomotor ataxia, another that I had creeping paralysis. I took their medicines but they did me no good and I continued to grow worse." One day a friend advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I immediately commenced their use, throwing all other medicines away. Before I had finished my first box I found that they were benefiting me. I used twelve boxes in all and was perfectly cured. From the Journal, Lawrence, Kan. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People contain, in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica; neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after-effects of the grip, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, all forms of weakness either in male or female. Dr. Williams' Pink-Pills for Pale People are sold by all dealers, or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50c. a box or six boxes for $2.50 (they are never sold in bulk or by the roo) by addressing Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N.Y.

The Fearful Cruelty That Makes Dainty a Possibility. To the ordinary man and woman conception of the torture to which poor, unfortunate goose is put possibly be formed. The geese when about 9 months are taken from the pastures and placed in an underground cellar, where brushing stone slabs stand in rows, are bound fast to the tables. They literally crucified. Feet, wings and bodies are spotted out and bound by bands, so that the neck is left-free. As may be inferred, the animal struggles with any might against this stretching, till, and days of vain endeavor to free it from the bands and its position; powers of resistance are overcome; a dull resignation, broken only by low cries, takes possession of it. Months must pass away before death brings relief. The animals are meanwhile cramped with dumplings made of dough of bread, chestnuts and stewed meat. Every two hours, six times a day, receive from three to five dumplings, which in time become so sweet that tortured creatures that they strain their necks to crammed. The most difficult task is to determine the right moment for decompose those who die of their own accord lost to the liver factory; therefore kind of study is needed to see whether cup of agony is brimming full and liver is ripe for taking.

This Woman’s Curiosity Is Only Temporarily Suppressed. He had been out pretty late, and he knew it. Where he had been, who he had been with and what he and the other fellows had been doing are matters not germane to the story. Suffice to say that when he opened the door with his latchkey and made as quiet an entry as possible he felt in his guilty heart that the wife of his bosom would ask him a whole lot of things which he did not care to detail just at that time. He was not mistaken. As soon as his wife heard him enter the chamber she knew instinctively that he was trying to “hold out” on her and she asked: “Where have you been?” Now, it wasn’t part of his plan to tell her where he had been. The idea was furthest from his mind, so he tempered. “Now, see here,” said the husband, “If you will let me go to sleep and don’t ask me any questions now or at any other time about where I have been, I will give you $50 in cash for yourself.” This was a poser, and the dutiful wife naturally started to reach for the $50. But feminine curiosity was a little too strong, and she did not at once acquiesce. The next morning, when she arose, the first thing that caught her eye was her husband’s coat, with one sleeve torn out by the roots and hanging by a thread. “Why. Why, what is this?” she asked. “That’s a loose sleeve,” said her husband. “Well, how did it get loose?” she persisted. “See here,” he said suddenly, “do you want to lose that $50? If you do, just keep asking questions about that. If you want to get it, just let the matter drop.” Being a wise woman, she let it drop, but his friends are making bets that she will first secure the $50 and then find out some way how that sleeve got loose.—Kansas City World. Would not Suffer so Again for Fifty Times its Price. I awoke last night with severe pains in my stomach. I never felt so badly in all my life. When I came down to work this morning I felt so weak I could hardly work. I went to Miller & McCurdy’s drug store and they recommended Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It worked like magic and one dose fixed me all right. It certainly is the finest thing I ever used for stomach trouble.

A meeting of walnut growers was held in the assembly-room of the Chamber of Commerce in Los Angeles last week, in executive session. The seven walnut growers’ associations of Southern California were well represented, and a permanent organization was effected, after which steps were taken looking to the mutual protection of growers. An agreement was formulated and adopted, the purpose of which is to secure harmonious action on matters of aid to the growers. The compact provides that no walnuts shall be consigned, and that all sales shall be made upon the basis of f. o. b. prices in California, and that this shall be under the direct control of the Executive Committee. The following associations signed the compact: Fullerton, Los Nietos and Ranchito, Golden Belt, Santa Ana Valley, Saticoy, Mountain View and Santa Barbara. H. W. Judson is Chairman and J. A. Montgomery Secretary. The seven associations which have combined will control an output of about 400 carloads of nuts. The crop is said to be about equal to that of last year, but under the new arrangement growers as a whole expect to get more money for their product. Last year some individual associations worked along the same lines, and they claim to have been benefited. Prices will be made by the combined associations in September, and the gathering of the nuts will commence a month later. The associations have instructed William Crowther of Placentia, who is now in England, to look into the walnut industry there from every standpoint, and to make reports to the associated growers.

Millers and the owners of grain vators look upon the bisulphide of boron as one of their most useful agents. When a mill, an elevator or a grate becomes infested with weevil, the phide of carbon is the cheapest pest; most effective thing to exterminate pest. So deadly is the gas how and so rapidly does it act that the most care must be taken in applying the bisulphide. It is usually sprinkled over the grain from watering pots; liquid is rapidly converted into acid and the latter links through the gary carrying death to the weevil and to unhatched eggs. So long as the persons applying liquid stand above the point of application they are pretty safe from fumes, but occasionally the work breathe a little of the gas and have removed at once to the open air the heart is quickly paralyzed by action of the bisulphide. It is usually treat the lower floors of a granary so that those employed in the work keep constantly above the gas animal, as a cat or a dog, shut up apartment where the bisulphide is ing its work is found dead while place is opened.—Chicago Inter-Ocean Spain’s Greatest Need.

Two Spanish captains came on board, with a request to be allowed to see "the greatest seaman in the world." Nelson grumbled, but gave in and went on deck, forgetting that "at that moment his legs were bound up at the knees and ankles with pieces of brown paper soaked in vinegar and tied on with red tape." This had been done to allay the irritation arising from mosquito bites. Quite forgetting his attire and the extraordinary appearance which it presented. Lord Nelson went on deck and conducted the interview with the Spanish captains with such perfect courtesy that his singular appearance was quite obliterated by the charm of his manner, and the Spaniards left the ship with their high opinion of him thoroughly confirmed.

You may take Hood's Sarsaparilla with the utmost confidence that it will do you good. The winter palace of the czar surpasses any other palace in Europe. It is on the banks of the Neva and owes its existence to the Empress Catherine II, that most extraordinary woman, extraordinary in ability and in vice, the surprise of all her contemporaries and the wonder of all who have studied her character. The building is four stories high, of a light brown color and highly ornamental in architecture. It is a wilderness of halls, stairways and apartments. The Nicholas hall and the St. George's hall will never be forgotten by those who have seen them. One of the most interesting rooms is that where Nicholas I died. It is in the upper story of the northeast corner of the building and is approached by four doors and finally by a narrow passage. It is a small room, only about 18 feet long and 12 feet wide, with two small windows, and is the place where the emperor spent most of his time when not officially employed. It is the room in which he died, some say by poison administered by himself in a fit of melancholy induced by the outcome of the Crimean war. The room remains just as he left it. Near the center is a plain iron bedstead. Some chairs and a few cheap pictures adorn the room, and a dilapidated, down at the heel pair of slippers complete the furnishings of the attic room in the palace. Hay.

Fearful Cruelty That Makes This Dainty a Possibility. The ordinary man and woman no exception of the torture to which the unfortunate goose is put could only be formed. Geese when about 9 months old taken from the pastures and placed underground cellar, where broad, long stone slabs stand in rows, and bound fast to the tables. They are easily crucified. Wings and bodies are spread and bound by bands, so that only neck is left free. As may be imagined the animal struggles with all its arms against this stretching, till, after of vain endeavor to free itself the bands and its position, its legs of resistance are overcome, and resignation, broken only by its muscles, takes possession of it. Two animals must pass away before death or relief. Animals are meanwhile crammed into dumplings made of dough of buckwheat, chestnuts and stewed maize. Two hours, six times a day, they are from three to five dumplings which in time become so sweet tourtured creatures that they stretch necks to be cramped. The most difficult task is to deter the right moment for death. Who die of their own accord are so the liver factory, therefore a study is needed to see when the agony is brimming full and the ripe for taking. The bodies ofripe ones are like pumpkins—ordinaryly fingers are buried in sand nothing but skin and bone ground. The livers have absorbed all strength and juices. A Painful Mistake. Conductor got up early the other morning and got his own breakfast. He used to this, as his wife, who was on this occasion, is used to getting fast ready. He is fond of strong coffee for his early meal, and, filling the fifth water, heaped in four table-fills of what he took to be coffee. After all was done, the coffeepot being and hash well browned, he sat on his self to break his fast. The did not seem very hot, so he drank half the cup in three or four swal-then the roof started. He yelled maniac. His trembling little wife out to see her husband dancing on one foot and screeching like a macran to the water pipe and drank two quarts of cold water and then down enough to ask: "What in her's the matter with the coffee?" Camellled of it and said: "Why, you mistook the ground cloves for caffeine." The Observing Youngsters. Mildmay has never been in the habit of punishing his children, leaving that disagreeable duty to his wife, but the other day one of his numerous progeny became very unruly, and he was obliged to say: "Flora, if you don't keep quiet I shall have to whip you." "Pooh!" retorted the little 3-year-old, with a contemptuous toss of her dainty head. "you isn't the mother." He Deals In Snow. The Prince of Palermo is said to owe his wealth chiefly to the trade in snow, of which he has a monopoly. The snow is brought at night in baskets on mule back from the mountains to the coast and shipped to the Italian cities, where it is sold at 2 and 3 cents a pound. A Maidenly Device.

George Purcell tells some stories at mining coal that are interesting. Well says a rat, when caught in a will cut off a limb to escape. He day caught a rat with a blackhair's pinchers. He had only time to the pinchers on the rat's tail, but sufficient grip to hold the rat for one. He intended taking the rat to and box in the barn, where its fightsualities could be tested by a terrier. The rat, hanging by its tail, turned and to free itself from the pinchers. Seeing that the pinchers were harder its teeth, it turned its attention to own tail. It cut with its teeth a scarround the tail and then made a stick. The skin peeled off the tail, leaving the tail covering in the grip of well and the pinchers. It is needless why that the rat escaped. Pinchers believe that rats leave a fall-nine. M. W. Kerrigan met a horde rats one day when he was entering nine. He attempted to kill them a stick, but as fast as he knocked out another took his place. He was appanied by a dog, and the dog was badly bitten by the rats that he sat shelter behind Kerrigan. Seeing the dog was badly injured by the kick of the rats, Kerrigan took him inside the mine to have his injuries added to. Kerrigan then returned to workings, but was surprised to find the entry in which he had met the dead fallen in during his absence. Burg News Good Train Service to the Beaches.
