x The younger tramp appeared
to be somewhat disheartened, and was
grumbling that he did not like to be
kicked about like a dog. The elder
tramp, a large man with rather cheer
full face, but very ragged exterior, re-
buked his companion in a way that showed
how the average professional tramp
views his situation. i tell you," said
he with careless glance at the appar-
emily inattentive Craig, ''you ought to

at those poor devils hurrying along to

worry about it if they don't get chance
to dc it. They work all day, year in and

The Fruit Stands of Chicago.

The fruit stands of Chicago, like
those of other cities at this season Of
the year, afford one of the best (if
not the best) opportunities for seeing
and judging of the character and quail
ity, it not the yield, of the common
fruits of the country for the current
year. So thinking, l spent the hour
and a half of daylight remaining to
to me while in the city in looking
over them, and making such and as
many inquiries as l thought could
be made without giving offtnse. A
moderate purchase never failed to
elicit polite, if not intelligent respon-
ses, and to the extent that (if not un.
dertaken at too busy an hour, a dollar
iudiciously expended, would put a
skilful and intelligent direct and cross
examiner in possession Of the largest
share of the special fruit knowledge
of the street corner trade. The

Tobacco Culture.

A correspondent of the Tobacco
Leaf gives the following suggestions,
gathered from Col Duffy, the largest
tobacco grower of Lance ster county
Pennsylvania. They may be useful to
those entering on that industry in
this State. $3.50
"Few persons know how to house
tobacco properly, the majority of
growers, fearing pole-sweat and hous.
burn, hanging their tobacco too
sparsely in the sheds. Last year l
had 49 acres of tobacco, and owing
to the bias of my working people for
roomy space between the stocks, I
had hard wook to get what l raised
into my sheds. This year I had 81
acres of tobacco, the growth being
larger than I had last year, and the
same sheds accommodated it all
with ease. My men used to put from
five to six stocks on lath. In nv

that my tobacco has colored darker

in politeness if not in fruit-growing,
by following the example of the re-
tailers and they might possibly catt b
producers aud growers, and hold
them, by adopting rule of common
courtesy which the members Of the
interior guild seldom lack.
As usual, home grown fruits paled
before those from California, plnms
this year taking the lead, as pears did
two years ago, and at other times,
grapes. The show ofplums, confined
10 two or three varieties, was simply
wonderful. That seen in the great
est abundance was light purple,
egg shaped one, and egg sized too,
and as fair, clean and smooth. Then
there was a round one, very dark
colored, with blue bloom. Pears
were plenty too, but California pears
have not the delicacy of skin, nor
high color of those of former years,
and only the very hest seemed better
than the best of eastern growth.
There was a fair showing of grapes,
but Judge it to be too early in the.
season for the best to- have arrived
from the Pacific coast. A few early
black ones, Telegraphs or some other
new variety-home products-made
up the list. {'~ l."H'
The peaches of the fruit stands
were like those Of the orchard, not
wanting in size and color, but they
were irregular in form, and seemed to
threaten that he who should bite too
deep into them, would repent his
rashness. The show of apples was
surprisingly small, such thing as a
really good and seasonable eating ap-
pie beng hardly to be found. But it
was late in the day, and perhaps
where plums and pears are so album
dant, if not cheap, apples are not in
demand. Nevertheless, really first
class late summer eating apple, is
understanding for the West
which in August is equal to the Fa-
meuse in November, the Winesap in
January, and Rawle's Janet, in March
and April.
In conversation with the small deal
ers, a considerable advance in the
knowledge of names and characters
tics of fruits, and in some details OF
fruit management, were very notice
able. Formerly all or nearly all eat
able pears were Bartletts, all black
grapes Concords, all light colored
ones catawbas, all peaches treestones
or clings, and all apples We're classed
in three or four categories. But most
of the dealers now call the common
native grapes correctly; reel off the
names OF their apples as glibly, and
much more understandingly, than the
tree pedlar, and sound the vowels and
suppress the final consonants in their
grape and pear nomenclature in a
way which shows their customers to
be among the travelled, the cultivated
and the rich. AS to prices, the best
plums sold for cents each or 40 to
so cents dozen; the best pears 5 to
10 cents each grapes from 10 to 20
cents a pound peaches from a penny
each to a dime for three good ones,
and apples from three to half dozen
for nckle.-B. r. H. a,s Country
