THE CAN-CAN CRAZE.-Thcre is a limit
beyond which the housewife who was eagerly
plunged into the canning and preSeTYing,sea-
son cannot GO There are only 1,500 known
methods of putting up peaches. 1t may take
her some time to get to the last one, but
she'll reach it in time. The latest estimate
places the number of fruit jars on sale in
this country at 50, 600, 600. No housewife can
secure more than her proportion of these.
After she has asked her husband seventy
eight consecutive times to send up another
dozen of those cans, there mnst come
lull. She may then demand her share of the
crooks and jars and ielly-tumblers Of this
great and growing country, but winter is
only three months away. BY and by there
must come an end to this asking for anoth-
eT twenty pounds of that same kinG Of
sugar" The stock on hand i'm this country
viii not allow any family to consume over
five thousand pounds in putting up pre-
serves. The woman who goes beyond that
must do So at her own peril. While the aver
age husband feels thrill Of exutation as
he realizes that plums are PLAYED, he must
not be plunged into despair to learn that
peaches viii 20 down TO 30 cents before the
last of the crop is liz, and that pears We're
never known to be so plenty. No cellar can
hold more than it can. After the jugs and
lars and cans and pitchers are stacked from
floor to iOist, the wife has either got to lay
off her big apron and quit or else rent space
from the neighbors, and the chances will be
that they will have none to spare. In two
F weeks more she'll have to give up ON peaches
and pears Then she'll begin on tomato
/ pickles and catsup, jump to cucumbers,
I slide of or apDle-butter, work up bushel
of ounces, boil down barrel of cider and
/ then sit down and give up the unequal stTug-
/ gle That is, she'll suddenly remember that
+ every can and jar and jug must be lifted up
or taken down and opened and heated over,
and if perchance she finishes the job before
spring the miuce pie season will serve TO

HOW TO
GET Clothing
under Price.

If we could sell a little
more of this and a little less
of that, we could make
things come out even-the
last man that came in would
carry off the last suit; but
we can't. Out of every
stock there are a great many
sizes left when some are
gone. The best we can do
with these incomplete assort-
mentS is to mark them low
enough to set a great many
people looking among them
for bargains.
This we do every day at
this time of year; and just
now we have enough of
such to stock a little store.
Besides, odd parts of suits
get left-coats, vests and
trousers. We have a room
in which there is nothing
else. There is in that room
cheaper clothing than you
have any notion of. We call
it the Bargain-Room.
These marked-down suits
and garments are of all
sorts; they may be among
the best in the store.
We force a continual clear
ance of such articles as
would only embarrass US;
and keep our stocks always
fresh and full.

\ RATS FIGHT WITH \ SNAKE--Ou Lind
say Point, Cal, a rat sitting on the shore
SaW-a snake of unusual size cUiled upon a lit
tie point of mud just above the water sun
ming itself, and probably asleep. Tie rat
jumped upon the folds of the SeTpent's body.
The snake struck instantly, fastening its
fangs between the rats shoulders. Then
began contest that was truly thrilling. The
rat, struggling violently, attempted to shake
itself free, while the snake persstently
endeavOred to drag the head of the victim in
itsOwn mouth. This. feat it was at first unable
to accomplish. The rat was game, and as it
writhed in its conyulSive efforts to escape, bit
the big snake severely in the neck just back
of the head, until the blood flowed and mixed
with its own.
These counter attacks became at last so
savagely painful that the snake lonSened its
grip, remaining, however, in half coil. But
the respite was too brief to afford tine rat its
opportunity to escape, for again the snakes
fierce Jaws descended and closed, this time
around the rats head. The heavy body of
the rat still SwaVed violently, but dragged
with it the head of the snake, until the latter
was thrown completely out of coil. BY this
Time however the rats struggles had grown
comparatively faint, and the snake was APP
parentiN the victor. But the next moment
the snake i'm its turn began to struggle viO-
lently as if to release its adversary's head,
but Intellectually, and the reason became
soon apparent. The rat had bitten quite
through the snakes throat. and its sharp
slit they made The writings Of the snake
were now intense. IL dashed the ground with
its tail, and raised its thick folds to almost
half its length from the ground, and with enc
cOnvusivc effort threw its length into TIE
muddy water, and the twain sank together

WHERE PICKLES COME FRoM.-Cucum-
hers for pickles are raised extensively IN
West Chester county, New York. They are
gathered fom the vines every day and hauled
to dealers in the ncigllborhOod, who store
them in immense watts of orinc often placing
among them plates of copper, to impart their
green color 50 much admired by hOusekeep-
ers. From these watts they are shipped to
New York city, where they are picked with
vinegar The labor of gathering and count
ing tile pickles is quite severe. The price
is only 81 per thousand, but as farmers ire
quently gather IJo, 600 from an acre, the crop
is considered profitable one.

The morning was warm and bright, AMI

The sun that made the March morning

All that was known of him was that Id
had been found early one morning lying
beside the railroad track with his lowe,
limbs crushed and bleeding.
He was taken to the hospital and when
he recovered sufficiently, he said that he
had fallen beside the track weak from
hunger and loss of sleep.

that his cot be pushed near the window,
which being done he begged that the win

The Sister refused

pleaded; 1t will not be for long, and /

Raise the window, good Sister; have

With some misgivings the Sister did az
she was requested, and the patient drag
ged himself upward with great pain until
bis arm rested upon the sill.
Then he spoke with difficulty,

CoUaHs.-Brown's Bronchial Troches are
 used with advantage to alleviate coughs, sore
 throat, hoarseness and bronchial affections.
 For thirty years these troches have been in use, with annually increasing favor. They
 are not new and untried, but having been tested by wide and constant use by nearly an entire generation, they have attained we'll
 merited rank among the few stable remedies of the age.
 THE THRoAT.-Brown's Bronchial Troches act directly on the organs of the voice. They
 have an extraordinary effect in all disorders
 of the throat and larynx, restoring healthy tone when relaxed, either from cold or over exertion of the voice, and produce clear and l distinct enunciation. Speakers and singers l find the troches useful.
 A cough, cold, catarrh or sore throat re- I quires immediate attention, as neglect often | times results in some incurable lung disease.

Snnken Canal Boats.

Tuesday afternoon, as tug of the Game Cock line was towing eight or ten canal boats through the Sound to New Haven, they crushed together, and caused one of them loaded with coal to spring aleak. The acci- dent happened outside of this harbor, and the leaking boat was lowed inside, but sunk before it could be placed in shoal water. It went down near the outer beacon, and is out of sight at high water, although visible when the tide is down. Wednesday night the gov ernment lighthouse boat, Mistletoe, struck the wreck in entering the harbor, and was badly scraped, although not seriously in iured As the boat now lies, there is great danger that other vessels will strike it, as no light is shown after dark, and there is no way of detecting it's presence except at low water Something should be done at once to remove the danger.-Baidgepo1t iStdradoTd
