The canned goods trade dates back to 1886
when Appert Frenchman, discovered the
art of hermetical sealing, by means of which
fruit and other perishable articles of food can
be preserved in an edible condition for I'M
limited periods Corn was one of the first
articles packed for preservation in iron cans
covered with tin, and after the air had been
exhausted, Theoretically sealed The con.
sumption of all kinds of canned goods has in
creased rapidly of late years both at home
and abroad, though our expectations are re-
stricted by an apparently unfounded preiu-
dice in Europe against the American articles.
Canned salmon and oysters are our princi-
pal expectations in this line. A compare
lively small amount of canned corn is export
ed, though some goes to London and to Ger.
many. The home consumption Of canned
corn, however, is very large and it is thought
that canned goods generally, corn included,
will ultimately be among the most important
of our expectations. One of the largest deal
ers in New York estimates the total annual
production of canned corn in the United
States at 100000 cases of two dozen cans
each or in all 100000 cans of corn. Each
can contains one and one half pounds of
corn. Yet larger quantity of tomatoes is
consumed. Peaches are the most popular Of
the canned fruits. Another dealer says that
about one-half of the canned corn is packed
in Maine from Maine corn.

How TO USE PERFUMES There are few

perfumes and if they are not used in too
great quantities they are not Objectionable
1t is better plan to use only one kind of per-
fume, such as violet, heliotrope, rose ger
anium, etc. Instead of saturating the hand
kerchief use them in the form of sachet pow.
ders. Put them in cotton in small bags of
muslin, silk or satin, and strew them in every
part of the bureau and wardrobe, so that
delicate, fresh, almost nameless perfume
pervades every article of dress, from the hat
to the boots. Sachets filled with powdered
orris root will give sweet, wholesome odor
that never becomes so strong as to be disa-
greeable. 1t is hardly needful to say that
the use of strong extracts of perfumery is
not considered in good taste.

THE HEAD OF THE HOUSE.

little bird sat on q cherry tree limb
And a dear little maiden listened to him,
For each word of his song, though loud and clear
Was meant for nobody else's carr
''Sweet Sweet !" he said, you'll surely agree
The man the head of the house should be-"
That's all very well for a bird you know"
The maiden answers in accents low:
But a woman, think, has a right to reign,
AS sovereign queen of her own domain"
''Sweet Sweet! sang the little bird, saucily,
THE man the head of the house should be-"
- But what if it happens" the maiden said,
That the very one should choose to wed,
Though worthy of love, is too weak to rule
Many woman is such fool?"
''Sweet Sweet" said the bird, ere she made her
plea,
"The man the head of the house should be-"
Away flew the bird to its cosy nest;
Deep, deep went his song into the maiden s breast,
And she found it true, as the bird had sung,
In the summer time when the maid was young !;
THE man the head of the house should be!
But the wife-the heart of the house is she!"
