Barnumss Fat Woman,

No circus is now considered complete unless it
Barnum has the greatest show on earth, he OF
course has the fattest woman. Yet of the thou
sands of curious people who annually visit this
monstrosity, few ever reflect that her obesity is a
disease. Until very recently there was no known
remedy for this abnormal condition. Allan's
Ant-Fat has proved more efficacous than even
the most sanguine hopes of its discoverer had an

could be reduced to graceful and even delicate
proportions. Sold by druggists.

The General Conference, at its late
session, says the Christian Advocate
(Nashville), requested the Bishops to
appoint Week of Prayer in the
month of August. Bishop McTyeire
requests us to say that the College of
Bishops has appointed the week be-
ginning Aug. 2, This viii be Friday,
and will be observed as a day of fasting
and prayer. We presume cur breth>
rem generally throughout the connec-
ton will make their arrangements for
the due observance of this solemnity.
The General Conference was moved
to request it by the remembrance of
signal blessings which resulted from
similar observances in the past.

Our Dried Fruit bonanza.

A leading Nashville gro GER offers a
suggestive hint to the American, for
the edification of fruit growers, which
we regard of such practical value
and profit to them, that we lose no
time in laying it before them. 1t is
in the manner of drying peaches and
apples for market. After having
been peeled and sliced, the fruit should
be strung or threaded on cords and
suspended in testoons in the sun.
With large needle and stout cord a
child could do this light work, which
would furnish employment for the
younger members of a thrifty farmers
household, The advantage of this
mode over the old method of drying
is in the preservation of the sweetness
and color of the fruit. The strings
may be easily removed to shelter at
night and in case of rain. BY the
old, shiftless custom of drying on
boards, the fruit is exposed to the dew
at night and to the showers, and is
rendered gritty and unclean by accu-
mutations of dirt and the color is as
unpresentable as the taste is unpala-
bic, from the soaking it is subjected
to by exposure. But when dried on
strings, after the method suggested,
and sheltered from rain and night
dews, the fruit is sweet and not shriv-
eled, and has bright, golden color
which materially enhances the market
value. Farmers AMI fruit growers,
instead of 2 or 3 cents for dried
peaches, might, by this cleaner pros
cess, realize from 10 to 10 cents.
Merchants pay % cents in New York
for the best article of dried peaches.
Our grocer exhibited to Is beautiful
specimens of this rich, bright fruit,
and as to favor, fulness and color, the
dingy, dark, shrunken fruit dried by
the old process, certainly suffered in
the comparison. A great deal of
money would be saved by the adop-
ton of the simple method suggested.
