Stephen Gait carried some straw
berries to the Ken0sha market to-day,
June 81, being the first of the season.
Mr.. Charles Cable has an excellent
show for Strawberries. They will be in
the market soon.
Mr.. James Wallis is rather ahead in
the prospect of a very fine crop of
Strawberries. We hardly think he will
be able to sell them all in Kenosha.

Haven and Chicago.
Our gardens are not so forward by
about twenty days as they were last
year.
Last Friday the young people of
Selma held picnic in the grove next
to the school house. It was highly en-
jOyed by all who were present, all the
delicacies Of the season being served
to help make a pleasant time for all.
This having been so we'll appreciated
it is thought another one will take
place soon after the fourth.
The health of our village is excellent.
Our Sunday school is in excellent
running. The first Sunday in May new

And sent his servant at supper time
to say to them that were hidden, come:

And they all with one consent began
to make excuse. The first said unto

Reynolds were the only teachers pres

Reynolds, pupils Of district No. 2, Pleas

Day by day is character formed, day
by day is it undermined. Great men
are not made in a day; neither are
drunkards and castaways. 1t is the
adding of a right principle here and
another there that rears the characters
that are looked up to and admired. It
is, on the other hand, the yielding a
little one time to wrong, and a trife
more at another, that saps our moral
strength and make us worthless. 1t is
this day-by-day that we need to keep
close watch concerning. 1t is the days
that make the years. The years the
lifetime. We shall be grand and
kingly in nature if we use the days, as
they pass, 10 make it SO; or we shall
be dwarfed and stunted if we let them
slip by unused-or rather, let the evil
one have them to use, for use them we
may be assured he will if he gets a
chance.-Roya1 Road.

BRISTOL ITEMS.

The strawberry festival at the Con-
gregational church last Friday was a
complete success. 1t was a success in
the Astounding enjoyment of the occa-
sion, the large numbers in attendance,
their satisfaction in testing the deli
ciousness of the strawberries and ice
cream, and it was success financially,
the net proceeds being $50. The min
ister's wife is largely to blame for the
affair. and she was ably seconded by
nearly all the young people of the par
ish and some of the older ones.

By intelligence received from the Warner
Observatory, Rochester, N T., it appears that
still another comet has just been discovered
by DR.. Gould, Director of the Cordovr OBJ
servatory, Argentine Republic, South Ameri-
ca. This comet seems to be the great comet
of 1907, and is located in the Constellation
of the Dove, Right Ascension hours and
Defamation South 80 degrees. It is not visi-
BILE from this latitude and not known yet that
it will be, although it is likely to be, as the
comet of 1907 was distinctly seen. No ap-
prehension need be had over the unusual ap-
pearance of comets during the present year
as they do not possess the power to work in
jury upon the earth or any other planet.

HOLBROOK.-At her home in Bristol, Kenosha
county, Wis. June 9Th, 1881, Mrs Laura R. Hul-
brook aged CT years, 2 months and days,
Rest. gentle, tired spirit, rest,
With loved ones gone before:
The earth thy weary footsteps prest
Can never bind thee more.
Somore in vain thouIt seek Fepose,
For rest has come at last
Bright morn succeeds the night of woes
Deaths bitterness Is past
On thy dear spirit pure and free.
There dawns a heavenly light;
And spirit forms awaiting thee
Attend thy upward flight
Above thy dust we drop the tear,
Yet will not grieve in vain,
For still we feel that thou art nesr,
And we shall meet again.
We. too, shall hear those heavenly strains
That broke upon thy ear
When angels come to break the chains
That bind our spirits here.
Though round the board we're sad tonight,
And eyes are dimmed with tears,
The affairs over there are bright
With loves Of former years.

The best writers of the European
press are noting our protective tariff
as one cause of the large prosperity of
the United States. The condition of
the English and French manufacturers
is not enviable, and some of the most
sagacious are contemplating a removal
of both machinery and skilled workmen
to the United States. A large manu-
facturer has recently been in Chicago
and selected the site for an extensive
factory, and att distant date the hum
of British spindles will be heard upon
our prairies. Here is where the goods
are wanted; the wool is here, and moth
ing is lacking to make the United States
the greatest manufacturing country
upon the globe. -Tnter Ocean.

France and England are getting into
a controversy on tariff questions. A
new system of import duties has been
declared by the French government,
which the Britishers do not at all like.
1t is not to 60 into effect until six
months hence, when the commercial
treaty between the two countries will
come to an end, but meantime there is
controversy. The new tariff substitutes
specific for ad valorem duties on for
eign manufactures, and will increase
the figures ON the chief English i'm
ports from "a to 210 per cent, and,
moreover, is so constructed as to give
a great deal Of trouble to the English
shippers. 1t is a protective tariff, and
the English manufacturers dislike it
so much that they are urging retalia-
ton by the imposition Of heavy duties
on French wines, gloves, ribbons and
the like. A new treaty will be made,
but it is said that the French people
have become so strongly protectionist
that the high tariff cannot possibly be
abandoned Mil1Oaukee Sentinel.

The largest purchase of land ever
made in the world by single person
was that completed on the 18th inst,
when Hamilton Desson, prominent
manufacturer of Philadelphia, took a
deed from the State of Florida for
100000 acres situated north of Lake
Okeechobee. The amount paid is not
published, but 1t was supposed to be
about two dollars an acre in cash.
This enormous transaction has been in
negotiation several months, the land
being under the control of the Board of
Internal Improvement of the State of
Florida. The tract is nearly as large
as the entire State of New Jersey, and
the greater part Of it is susceptible of
cultivation. Mr.. Desson has bought it
for the purpose of speculation, and will
at once endeavor to direct emigration
that way. Agencies for the sale of
farms will be opened in this country
and in Europe.-Inter Ocean.

REGULATING PRIMARIES BY
LAW.

One bill got through the Pennsylva-
MIA Legislature in the last hours of
the session which was framed in the
interests of honest politics. 1t is in
tended to prevent abuses at primary
meetings, and provides that no candi-
date shall give, directly or indirectly,
or promise anything of value for the
vote or influence at a nominating cleo
ton of any elector for or against any
candidate; that no elector shall receive
any such gifts or promises; that no
elector shall offer his vote or influence
for any such considerations; that none
but lawful electors shall vote at pri-
maries; that no one shall vote more
than once, and that no one shall pro-
cure disqualified person to vote nor
advise any person to vote more than
once. Heavy penalties are fixed for
offences against these provisions, and
the law also forbids delegates to con-
ventions elected at party primaries
from accepting brides, and provides
against fraudulent returns of votes.
Primary elections in Pennsylvania,
and especially in Philadelphia and the
larger towns, have been conducted in
the most shameless manner, and much
is expected from the operation of the
new law. The party machinery in our
politics, which has become so power
full that the electors chosen to vote for
president are practically mere clerks
to register the popular Will, has grown
nm entirely without the cOoniZanne of
law, and with no regulation whatever
except such as politicians and people
may happen to enforce. The need of
some restraint is often apparent in
every State in the Union, and the Penn
sylvania experiment will be watched
with much interest. Mil,caukee Sen.

The Household.
Picking Cucumbers.


w. D. p. writes to the New England Far
mer with reference to various points in MAX
ing cucumber pickles:
1t may be useful to some of your readers
to know how strong to make the brine; if
made too strong it will sometimes cause the
pickles to wilt or wither, in which condition
they are not salable, and if too weak they
will ferment too much and get soft The
proper strength is just enough to float po-
tato. If your subscriber wishes to market
his pickles in vinegar, they must be taken
out of the brine about week before being
sold; when taken out they are at once
placed in fresh water, and the water changed
twice day until the pickles taste quite
fresh, which usually takes two or three
days. The pickles are then placed in strong
cider or whiskey vinegar, and spiced to suit
the taste of the customer.
1t was formerly the almost universal GUS
tom to scald the pickles in copper kettle
after freshening and before placing them in
vinegar; the verdigris of the kettle would
impart bright green to the pickles, some
what like the color of freshly picked Gu
cumbers, and more attractive to the eve
than the dirty, yellowish green of sailed
pickle. The very small amount of copper
required to impart this color was probably
harmless, for am not aware that any case
OF copper poisoning ever resulted from the
consumption of the enormous quantities of
pickles that were few years ago prepared
in this way; but of late years, the fashion
has changed, probably through knowledge
on the part of the buyer of the source Of
the green color, and a fear of injurious
effects therefrom, and now the demand for
green pickles is very light as compared with
he so-called English pickles that are pre-
pared without copper; they have a dull, yell
nxryic II frra 4pln Int ~,
and as digestible as cucumber can be,
which is not saying much.
