On Friday at the basket factory Of
Tschudy & Cats, Edwin Start made
4l6 peach baskets, and John Inman,
Saml Keys and Robert Phillips 300
each. Several others made as high as
25O a piece. Each Of these baskets
contain 65 nails, and it is thus seen
that to make 50 many requires wonder
ful dexterity.
A FRIEND gives US the following
recipe for preserving green corn or
roasting ears for Winter.-PulI off
all the husk from the ear except the
thin skin next to the grain, then put
the ears away in salt pickle the same
as you salt cucumbers. They will
keep perfectly and only require a
nlght s soaking to fit them for cooking.
THE telephones that have been in
use IN the Office Of the Peninsular

improved instrument that was patent
ed last year. The new machines while
better are rented at much less price.
