old women in the country, are white
heath clings, and the best to preserve
are the yellow smocks of Delaware and
Maryland. Weuse Bartlett pear; not
enriched by sunshine only for preserves,
but put DutcheSs pears into tir.
Ounces come next; we jelly, preserve
and can them. Cranberries we
don't do much with except to
put them into cans in the form of sauce
After ounces and cranberries we take
hold of apples. Apple preserves are,
however, principally for export. We
use almost any tart apple, and we ship
thousands of cans to Europe. The APP
pies take us pretty well into the winter,

Singularly enough, it would seem that
the pickle-making business is an entirely
separate trade from the manufacturing
of preserves. Green-cOrn canning Is
also a business by itself, it having been
learned that corn must be canned as
soon as gathered if any thing like its
flavor is to be retained. In the estab-
lishment just described, fiavorimg sirups
are also made from the various fruits.
The. largest sirup-manufacturing estab-

of the city, and lemon sirup is the kind
most largely manufactured. .. ,.....

The Suicide City.

San Francisco may fairly be called
the :. Suicide City, From 1860 to 1874,
the reported cases of self-destruction
averaged about So a year among the
white population. But in the latter year
the number suddenly jumped to 81, and
it has since reached 1913. Comparative
statistics show that the proportion of sti-
icides to all deaths in San Francisco is
full three times as great as in New York,
although Instances of self-destrtietion
are from various causes extremely fire.
quent in the latter city. d. The mania for
self-destruction in the1chief city of the
Pacific slope is attributed 10 the conse-
quences of the universal passion of the
population for gambling in mining
stocks. Suicides increased with the
growth of the mining excitement, and
since the collapse, of mining shares in
1877, over. POO persons have cut short
their existence with their own hands.
Taken in connection with the business
losses, crimes, suffering and disorders Of
the last few years, the above facts show
that the Bonanza mines have not proved
an-unmiNed blessing to the people OF the
Golden State.--BufdlO Courier

Remarkable Cayerns.

Among the natural curiosities of this

ten miles there are not less than fifty,
some of which are. very extensive On
Indian Greek two or three caves, have
been discovered and explored sufficiently
to satisfy theowners that they extended
into the bowels of the earth several
miles. Three miles east of Mitchell are
to be found Hariner's and McDonald's
caves. From the mouth of the first
named there pours a stream OF water OF
sufficient volume TO run a dozen mills,
and cold enough to chill a man through
and through if be stood within forty feet
of the entrance This cave has been
explored for two or three miles, and
Mcdonald for. nearly the same distance.
Where they end no one can tell The
streams of water that flow through the

get around, discouraging curiosity hunt

these parts hollow mockery.-C0r. In

Marvels Of q Minnesota Swamp.

j. w. Blanding, one of the Commits
siOners appointed by the Governor to
appraise the salt lands in our county,
has given us an interesting account of a
natural curiosity visited by the Commits
sioners during their trip. In the course
of their search for and examination of
the above lands in the northeastern part
of the county they came upon a large
tract of quaking bog land Running in
northwest and southeast direction was
a line of mounds from six to 800 feet in
diameter at the base, and from 10 to 80
feet high, of eonical form, the slope
being about As degrees. These mounds
were shaking bog TO their submits,
where was found a circular opening six
to eight feet in diameter, filled with
clear, cold water and of unknown depth,
a pole eight feet long being their only
means of testing the latter. Most stu
g1llar of all, a few feet from these wells,
upon digging from IS to "a inches, a
solid body of ice was found. Who can
give MS an explanation of this phenome-
non?- Breckenrtdge Free Press.

one of the spectators who went

remaining in debt one dollar and fifty

street corner, and offered his apples for

down he had sold out, and was the pos

A meeting of the magistrates of the
County Meath, summoned by the Lord
Lieutenant, the Marquis of Headfort, was
held at Kells, to take into consideration
the recent murder of Thomas Tandy. Mr..
Tandy, who was of somewhat eccentric
habits, lived at Johnsbrook. near Athboy,
and on August oath he was shot dead by
some person unknown. The body was
found about midnight on that date in a
ditch of briars A valuable gold watch
was missing from his pocket, and it may be
mentioned that the deceased was not a
landlord in the ordinary meaning of the
word, for he had only two tenants on his
property. Sixty-seven magistrates attended
the meeting, and the chair was taken by
the Marquis of Headfort, X. p, but as yet
the murder is mystery.
