Sweet and Juicy CantelOpeS

''Cantelopes come next to water
melons in popularity as summer
fruit" said a wholesale dealer to a
New Yor.t Mail and Express reporter, as
he opened barrel that had just ar
rived from Florida. ''The season has
just opened. 1t IS two weeks late, and
they sell rapidly. Cantelopes are
pulled when very green and then put
in crates and barrels and shipped on
freight trains to this city. They all
come from Georgia and Florida for
early use. Even with all the care
taken to pull them green many ripen
too fast and perish on the way. Some
eight or ten thousand arrive daily
when the season is in full blast. AS
soon as they arrive many of them are
shipped TO the fashionable watering
places, where they are In great de-
mand by the big hotels. They neces-
sarily sell high, because so many per-
ish on the way. They retail now at
from 20 to 70 cents each, depending on
the size. BY the wholesale they COM
mand from S. to Sc per barrel or crate.
During one season the trade will
amount to several million dollars. In
midsummer cantelopes change their
names and are called muskmelons.
This is because they are larger and
more juicy. But we never count the
trade fairly opened until cantelopes
from all sections of the country come
and make things lively by competition.
The dealers have saying that the
sweet tooth will not be tickled until
the Hackensack cantelopes arrive in
market. They are undoubtedly the
sweetest and most juicy in the world.
They will not appear until the latter
part of July this year. 1t IS not their
size but their peculiar saccharine
flavor that places the Hackensack can
telope ahead of the rest. The soil on
the Hackensack river is peculiarly
adapted for growing them. City peo-
pie at the watering places always call
for Hackensack cantelore. Thous-
ands of them are shipped to Canada,
some to Nova Scotia, and many thou
sands are consumed daily in this
city,"

Educating Wife i'm Finance.

Mr.. w. is quite an elderly, wealthy
gentleman, having for his second wife
a lady many years his junior and much
petted. Any expressed wish of hers
he has at once gratiied, ifmoney could

Would you bring home tomorrow a

DEAR" he replied; II will bring the

the assistance of the porter, he did
bring home and placed on the parlor
table 1900 silver dollars. At the
sight of this pile of metal, weighing
nearly hundred pounds, the wife ex-
claimed: "What are you going to do
with all that money!" ''Why, love,
it's the money you wanted for the
new shall" "Good gracious! Does
it take all that to make 81, 500?
Why, I had no idea it meants so much.
I will do without the shawl, and I will
put it all in the savings bank, if you
will let me-" and she did so, and has
since added several sums to the de-
post. Mr.. w. affirms on his honor
that since thatevent she has not ask
ed for q quarter part so much money

Legal VerbOslty.

RelFS OtienSe Is treason IN Waglng war
against the government. 1t may be
speclied i'll less than twenty words.
Here it is as partly set forth in one
count OF the indictment just drawn up
against him:
Louis Reil, being q subject of our
lady queen, not regarding the duty of
his allegiance, nor having the fear of
God in his heart. but being moved and
seduced by the instigation of the devil
as false traitor against the said lady
queen, and wholly withdrawing the al
leglance, fidelity and obedience which
every true and faithful subject of Our
said lady queen ought to bear toward
our said lady queen, the 2oth day of
March, in the year aforesaid, together
with divers others false traitors to the
said Stewart unknown, armed and az
rayed in warlike manner-that is to
say, with guns, pistols, bayonets. and
other weapons-being then unlawfully,
maliciousfy, and tra;toriously as
sembled and gathered together against
our said lady queen, most wickedly,
maliciously, traitorously did levy and
make war against tho said lady queen
the said northwest territories of Cana
da, and within this realm; and did
then maliciously and tra.torously at
tempt and endeavor by force and arms
to subvert and destroy the constitution
and government of this realm, as by
law established, and deprive and de-
pose the said lady queen from the
style, honor, and kindly name of the
imperial crown of this realm, in con-
tempt of the said lady queen and her
laws, to the evil example of all others
in the like case offending, contrary to
the duty and of the allegiance of him,
the said Louis Riel, against the form
OF the statute in such case made and
provided, and against the peace of the
said lady queen, her crown, and dig
nifty.
AS specimen of the time-honored
legal verbosity this is hard to beat.

Caricature Of st. Paul and Min
neapOliS.

From the Chicago Herald.
"Never saw anything to equal the
jealousy between St. Paul and Mime
apolis," said traveller from Minneso-
TIA. II went up there several weeks
ago and was there during the recent
hot wave. Twas looking for q place to
20 into business. In all the hotels of
both towns they keep Thermometers
on ice to show the visitors. That may
fool some people, but it didn'tgo down
with me. Why, in st. Paul they have
little maps made on which the name
Minneapolis doesn't appear. On the
maps in use in Minneapolis no such
place as St. Paul is VISIBLE. The agent
who had charge of selling the life of
Grant in Minneapolis started his men
at work first in Minneapolis. When
they got through there they went
over to St. Paul and were given the
dead cut. Nobody would even look at
the book, because they had been to
Minneapolis first. Whenever any good
business men have any little scheme
to work they start in simultaneously
in both towns, same as the publishers
print books on the same day both in
America and England, to get the ad
vantage of COPYRIGHT in both coun-
tries. Out at Lake Minnetonka
the children who play in the
sand are divided into two sets.
One is from st. Paul and the
other from Minneapolis. They do not
speak as they pass by. The girls turn
up their noses at each other and the
boys throw sand. A committee of
citizens is already at work in each
town getting up g. scheme in view of
the coming census of 1890. 1t is not
known what direction their recon-
mendation will take, though it is hint
ed that at the last census Minneapolis
counted chickens not Matched, while
St. Paul put each married man in as
three and each married woman as
two. The day before 1 left there a
man told me that there would be no
social intercourse at all between the
two places if it were not, for the mat
rimonial schemes. Every St. Paul
boy is taught from infancy up that it
is his duty to this world to marry g.
Minneapolis girl, thereby reducing the
population by one and increasing that
OF St. Paul at least as many. Every
young man of Minneapolis is given q
cook stove, a parlor suit and a baby
cab on marrying st. Paul girl. If he
marries Minneapolisgirl he gets moth
ing and has his wages cut down. On
account of this marrying, ST. Paul and
Minneapolis are intimately related,
you see, and this relationship prevents
any actual outbreak of hostilities.
The relations of the intermarried fami-
lies are sort of mother-in-law, don't
board-on-us kind, and to this day it
isn't safe for an unmarried man of one
town to be caught out after dark in
the other. l tell you, they are a queer
set of burgs up there by the falls Of
the Minnehaha."

Late planted squash vines usually

The largest turkeys are the most
profitable. 1t costs but little more to

Hogs on pastures should have some
grain each day, so as to ripen the
growth as fast as made.
Fix the roosts so the hens won't
have to roost in draft. It gives

A Barbarous Prejudice.
Providence Journal.

l.
The fact is at last made public on
reliable authority that the refusal to
receive Mr.. Kelley by the Austrian
court was that Mrs. Kelley was jew
ess, it being one of the traditional
rules of Austrian imperial etiquette
that no one of Semitic blood should
be admitted within the sacred pre-
cincts of the court. 1t would seem in
credible that this barbaric bigotry
could prevail in civilized country in
the nineteenth century, and the case
is one which republican feeling and ma
tional dignity should compel us to
resent. We can get along very well
without a representative to the court
OF Austria or one from Austria here,
ond no such silly restriction should
be allowed to stand in the way of an
otherwise unobjectionable appoint
ment. We have not been greatly I'M
pressed in favor of Mr.. Kelley, but the
matter is now a question OF national
self-respect.

An Iowa agricultural society recent

In planting an orchard the young
trees should be slightly inclined to-

the trees were bent while young, and
most of these old orchards were set
