success to the Fruit cannerles.

Canning fruit Tor export in California is
comparatively new industry, but, notwith-
standing, it IS to this industry that the pres
emit boom in fruit culture is chiefly due. We
like to ship our green fruit to Chicago and
New York and realizs large profits. but there
is great risk in the business, and at best this
trade can dispose of but small, very small.
amount of fruit. To the canneries we must
look for the great market. When once care
fully put up in cans, fruit can be kept almost
an indefinite period, and can be shipped to
any part of the world. The markets for
green fruits are easily glutted, but for canned
fruit the market is too extensive and too con.
t;uuous to be supplied in day or week, or
ever. Those who contemplate going into the
fruit business will do well to make their CAL
citations on the market the canneries premise
rather than on those that call for green fruit.

THE EMPTY CRADLE.

She sits beside the cradle,
And her tears arc streaming fast,
For she sees the pres mt only,
While she thinks OF all the past
OF the days so full Of gladness,
When her first born's answering kiss
Thrilled her soul with such a rapture
That it knew no other bliss.
Oh, those happy, happy moments.
They but deepen h r despair
For she bends above the cradle,
And her baby is not there.
There are words Of comfort spoken.
And the leaden clouds Of grIet
Wear the smiling bow Of promise,
And she feels sad relief.
But her wavering thoughts viii wander,
Till they settle on the scene
OF the dark and silent chamber,
And of ali that might have been.
For little vacant garment,
Or shining tress OF hair,
Tails her heart in tones OF anguish,
That her baby is not there.
She sits beside the cradle,
But her tears no longer flow;
For she sees blessed vision,
and forgets all earthly woe.
Sanity eyes look upon her,
And the voice that hushed the sea
Stills the spirit with the WHISPER,
suffer them 10 come % Ne"
And while her soul is lifted
Ga the soaring wings Of prayer,
Heavens crystal gates swing inward,
And she sees her darling there.

Exporting Raw Materials.

The ugliest feature of the export trade of
California is the fact that we export so much
in the shape of raw materials. Our wheat
should go in the shape of -four, instead of as
1t does, just SIS it comes from the thrashing
machine. Our wool should 60 at least in a
cleansed form, instead Of in its dirt, as it
does; perhaps we should have said in the
form of yarn or cloth. Our hides should 90

Willy KING TEEBAw or BUR-
NAH.
Little Rock Gazette.

King Theebaw Of Burmah, whose
exploits in the way Of thinning out
his relatives earned him such unenvi-
BILE notoriety last year, has recently,
according to the Times Of India, had a
narrow escape from death by poison.
It appears that some weeks ago one
ofhis royal consorts sent him q present
of dainty confectionery, that she had
prepared the toothsome gift with her
own far hands. Theebaw probably
had some private reason for regarding
this delicate attention with suspicion,
for he very handsomely transferred
the cakes to o favorite mother-in law,
the parent of the very queen from
whom he had received them. Anx.
ious to prove herself worthy of such
a rare and graceful munifcence on the
d
part of her puissant law, this
august lady partook freely of the prof
ferred pastry. Two hours after doing
so she was corpse, and her daughter
did not survive her long, for Theebaw
as soon as his mother-in laws demise
was made known to him, gave ord
ers that Her Majesty's head should be
removed from her shoulders without
an instant's delay. His commands
we're obeyed and the King, having
thus summarily ridded himself of q
wife and a mamma-in law between
breakfast and dinner, doubtless con-
graduated himself upon having got
through q highly satisfactory morn
ning's work. jealousy prompted
his queen, it is said, to attempt his
life. Probably no other reigning
is better qualified, by habit
and temper, than King Theebaw to
effect the permanent extinction of
that perplezing passion in any lady
allied to him by the nuptial tie,
who may be prey to the 'fgreen-eyed
monster

1t has been frequently asked if the
President pro TEN. OF the Senate has
the casting vote in the event of a tie.
He has not. His name is called on
the roll with that of other members,
and he answers to it as Mr.. Bayard,
or Mr.. Anthony, or whatever it may
be. IF there is a tie vote when the
Vice President of the United States is
not in the chair, the proposition is
lost. This frequently happened IN
der Andrew Johnson's administration
when condition of affairs similar to
the present existed as to the Presi-
dency of the Senate. The President
pro tenn. of the Senate Is not, ex-ofi-
clio, Vice President of the United
States, although he is the ''heir appa-
rent" to the Presidency; hence be
does not exercise the constitutional
prerogative of the Vice President in
the matter OF the casting vote.

STILL OUT OF TUNE.
Clinton Waterman.

we predicted IN a previous Issue 0l
tina Waterman that the N. O. Demo
crat discovering that it had come into
the "Mid-Louisiana" railroad discus
sion with the wrong foot foremost
would retrieve its error by recanta-
ton. and would be found with all its
acknowledged power, championing
the scheme. The Democrats last
fling runs thus:
sour friends of Baton Rouge and
Feliciana will please 90 ahead and
build the Midland Railroad and we
shall stop offering any objections to
the proposition that it is the greatest
and most important line on earth.
We beg leave to remind them, how
ever, that they are getting mighty
incoherent and using vast deal OF
grammar and shocking rhetoric over
very small matter. The Demo
crat does not oppose the building of
the road-quite the contrary"
This convinces US that this staunch
and powerful friend and ally of every
scheme hitherto projected for the ad-
Yancement OF the material interests
of the people of Louisiana, in every
part of the State, has no.idea of beat
ing the chamade, and proposing
terms Of capitulation or; not 10 put
too fine point on it; no idea of
taking the BACK track. The people
of East Feliciana have mo special
interest in a railroad which touches
no where the borders of the parish.
By sentiments Of q common ances-
try, by incidents of acOmmon history
and by the obligations of neighbor-
hood and friendship, they are closely
united to the Parishes carved out of
what was until 1912 'FIlhe Republic
of West Florida )" and they are not
disposed to stand idle spectators with
folded arms, while an enterprise so
full of promise for their neighbors,
is in peril OF strangling in its cradle.
Baton Rouge is the centre of
the most cherished traditions of the
little Republic which was absorbed
by its big Sister in 1912. II IS the
Yorktown of the second war which
our ancestors waged for their indie
pendence hence its growth and pros
perity are matters of lively solicitude
among the people who trace their
heritage of liberty and prosperity
back to the closing scenes of the Sec
ond revolution of which Baton Rouge
vas the theatre. The people Of the
City and Parish of East Baton Rouge
have weighty, and direct interest
in the completion of the "Mid-Louis-
iana," and although they have been
heretofore a trife haggard in con-
structing railroads; although physi-
cally and pecuniarily work of such
magnitude is beyond their means:
still we think we may venture to
pledge them to put their shoulders to
the wheel before calling on Hercules
for help; and that they will at the
very least, contribute as much to the
construction of the "Mid-L louisiana
as the people of New Orleans have
contributed to the numerous railroads
which centre in it; proportional to !
capital and population. We have no
actual facts and figures to base an
accurate computation on, bat still, |
knowing the Baton Rougeans long
and well, we feel sanguine they will !
redeem a pledge which involves such |
