Fruit Paclkcrs' Secret.

There is one little secret well-known
to packers in regard to fruit canned OF
preserved with the pits remaining in, on
such as contains large seeds where GER
minating qualities are not readily killed
by steaming. Every one who has any
knowledge Of preserving knows thatin
the spring-timo preserved fruit left over
from the winter is apt to fermont. Pack.
ers find this disposition Of the fruit to
bubble and sour a great nuisance and
loss, for each fancifully labeled can must
be rescalded to the destruction Of the Ia
bel. : That fermentation is caused by the
germinal instinct of reproduction max
ing itself manifest in the fruit seed.
Many fruits, such as peaches and plums,
have . finer favor by being preserved
without removing the pits. When they
are put up In this way attention should
DO given, to them from time to time to
see whether or not any symptoms Of fer

Hon. LEWIS mARRlNGrOs.
[st. Paul Pioneer. Press. |

A telegram from Olympia, Washing
ten Territory, announcing the accident
al death on Friday of Hon. Lewis Har-
rington, one of the pioneers of Mcleod
County, and a prominent man in the
State. Capt. Harrington went to WASH
isRton Territory last fall, shd being an
excellent surveyor was engaged by the
Surveyor General of the Territory to
survey strip of timber land on Skaeit
River, near the town of Birds View.
He returned once or twice, and on the
llth OF July last left Hutchinson with
his family, who desired TO make q visit
On the Pacific Coast. The particulars
of the accident by which he lest his
life are meagre, simply stating that he
fell over bluff and was killed almost
instantly. His family were at Seattle,
to which place the remains were taken,
and whence they will be brought to
Hutchinson for burial, arriving proba-
bly, on Saturday Aug, 8. Assistant State
superintendent Pendergast, a brother
in-law of the deceased, will meet the
family on their return at Fargo or Bis
marck. Mr.. Harrington was in his
fifty sixth year, and was native of
Greene. Trumbull county, Ohio. He
went to school In Cleveland, and was
there q schoolmate with Charles II.
Prior, of Minneapolis. He became
resident Of what is now Minneapolis, in
1854, and the following November was
elected Surveyor of Henuepin county.
In the fall of 1855 he went with the
Hutchinson brothers and w. w. Pen
dsrgast TO found the town of Hutohin-
son, which has been his home ever since.
In 1886 he represented Mcleod county
in the lower branch of the state Legis-
lature, when Congressman Wakefield
was Speaker Of the House. He again
sat in the Lower House in 1868, when j.
q. Farmer was Speaker. In the Sioux
outbreak he was captain Of u company
raised to defend the frontier settle
ments, and on September 4. 1862, com
manded in battle with the Sioux
lasting all day. In the engage
ment five whites were killed and
five Indians killed, and seventeen
wounded. His company was mustered
out in the following November. Capt.
Harrington was active in representing
the settlers, and succeeded in obtaining
from the Government a satisfactory
settlement OF their claims for damages
done by the Indians. In 1856 he mar
ried Miss Ellen PenderRast, sister OF
Assistant Superintendent PenderRast,
by whom two children were born TO
him, Martha and william E.. both of
whom are now at Seattle with Mrs.
Harrington. Capt. Harrington was q
man of the highest integrity. and we'll
known and respected over ths State Tor
his sterling character. He was well Oh,
owning several large farms in Mcleod,
Meeker and Kandiyohi counties, as well
az valuable timber aud mining lands in
Washington Territory, In the neighbor-
hood where he met his death. Capt.
Harrington was a cousin of Col. John
II. Stephens. of Minneapolis, and has a
brother at wayzata, John 3. Harring-
ton.

sermon, which was as much grander IN

And so believe the great Ruler, whom

good use of even the ssphistical ha.
ranguee of eloquent Col. fngersoll, by
their showing to the minds of the
thoughtful the crudities of skeptioism,
and convincing the most shallow of the

RESTRICTING THE LUMBER SUPPLY.


Il Ia said that there is enough lumber
on the market in Minnesota 10 fully
supply the probable demand Of the next
sixteen months--to the ist OF January,
1886. A condition of affairs almost a.
bad exists elsewhere, and 10 remedy the
evil a convention of lumbermen was
called at Chicago. IL met, and as q
result We have the report following OF
its deliberations and action;
CmcAoo. Aug. 20. Fifty or sixty gen
tlemen representing $500, GOO. 600 invest
meuts IN the lamber manufacture In
the Northwestern States, held q conven-
ton nj the Grand Pasific Hotel, 10 dis
cuss the interests OF the trade. Alder
man vanShaick. of Chicago. presided.
The morning session Was devoted 10
hearing reports from the dealers, Who
expressed almost q universal opinion
that the lumber supply nov exceeds the
demand. A great amount OF lumber
and logs will have 10 be carried over
until next year. After long discussion
ID was decided that in view of the fact
that the production of pine lumber IN
the Northwestern States has overtaken
and exceeded she annual demand, the
log supply Of lss45 should not exceed
60 per cent. of that Of last year, and It
vas recommended that all mills close
down as soon as possible. not later than
November 1. This action is deemed ad-
yisable because it 10 not believed that
during the present financial condition
az the country and considering the cur
rent price Of agricultural products, an
increased demand and higher prices for
lumber can be expected. II all the
companies in the Eve Northwestern
States act under the SUGGESTION OF the
convention and Close mills November i,
the manufacture will fall od from
!. 600 OO0. 500 feet during the year Just
closed 20 &.00o. 1000 feet during the

THG HOP OUTLOOK.

The hop circular of J. L. Cochran 4
Co.. of San Francisco, dated August
22d, thus informs Us:
For the past week our advices both by
mail and wire have been the same stere-
otyped phrase, Nothing doing in hops" !"
It presents state that il decidedly
anomalous, fer il is indisputable that
stocks both at home and abroad are very
light; this, taken with the facts (almost
as eertain) that New York will fall one
third below an average crop, England
with a shortage that will compel her to
buy at least It's, 900 bales, and Germany
with a home market that will require
every bale she can produce; all these,
coupled with the additional fact that,
according TO the Chicago Western Bre,oer
"a journal without peer the sale of
malt liquors in the United States for
1884 exceeded those of 1888 by l .507, ,402
barrels-that suoh state of the mar
ket could exist in view of these certain
happenings seems almost incredible,
yet 10 is as stated. We will not attem pt
to reason the question, but content our
selves by awaiting events.
