Testing the Quality of Each Nut-Using

Steam Tr,mp>.
A little lead colored steamer, drawing no
more than nine feet Of water when loaded,
lay at a pier near Coenties slip. People
familiar with shipping would have said at
glance that she was in the fruit OF some such
trade to the Spanish main on account Of her
size and look. A gang of men were lifting
bushel baskets full of oocOanuts over The low
hatch combing amidshps and sliding them
along greasy planks toward another gang OF
men on the pier. These men lifted the bas-
kets up on TO the low tables made Of planks
laid on top Of cheap barrels. Three baskets
could be accommodated al one time on each
| of the two tables A man b@tOre each basket
picked the nuts up, Ons in each hand, and
knocked them together lightly, and then
either tossed them into a hig coarse bag
which man held open before the table or
tossed them to a heap OH the pier.

to break oper Those thrown into the bags
were sound The light tap told the quality OF

and soon as fillet it was drawn to one side and
had its mouth sewel up by man who used
q needle nine inches long and soft jute twine
Tor thread Other men gathered the spoiled
cuts into bags and loaded them into a Gov
cred wagon that had nothing painted on 1t to
indicate its ownership. A reporter who
watched the men found that from five to
seven nuts were rejected for every bag that
was filed. One of the workers, although
kept busy either passing along the full bas-
kets or the empty ones back, found tims to
talk He said:
This vessel brought 55,Ooc Of the nuts from

If one could see 1. 1000, 900 babies start on
a race and could follow them through life,
this is about what he would see:
Nearly $50, 900 of them would drop out
of the ranks by the end of the first year.
Twelve months later the number would
be still further thinned by the deduction of
SO, 900 more.
Twenty-Five thousand would follow at the
end of the third year. They would throw
up the sponge by twos and threes until the
end of the fOrty-fifth year, when it would
be found that in the intervening period
something like 500, 900 had left the track.
Sixty years would see $40. 900 gray-headed

Fall in the Price of Drugs.

bOSlOQ herald.
It's estimated by experts that the aver
age price of drugs has fallen within the last
three years fully one-third. In some special
instances the cause for the decline is ap-
parent; in others, authorities differ. In
the case of qpinine free traders, will, of
course, attribute to the change in the tariff
law. which put it on the free list, the re-
duction from So an ounce in 1880 to SO
cents at present. But. in opium the course
OF prices has jbeenssimilar, tile ruling quota
ton of 1880 being S4.75 a pound. against
Sl.75 to-day. In the case of quinine the
supply has been vastly increased of late
years by the cultivation of the cinchona
tree in CeYlon and Java and the produc-
ton Of richer bark; bark yielding per
cent. was formerly considered merchanta-
bic, whereas the present average yield is
more than double that. The production
has doubled. while the demand has re-
NAMED the same. The present price re-
turns so poor profit to the growers of the
bark that many plantations have been de-
stroyed during the last year to make way
for tea or other culture. Opium varies in
price according to the stringency OF laws
against its importation or use III various
countries, the American market being at
present SO overstocked that lot was re-
Gently sold at less than S1.75 pound
which cost 81 not more than year ago.

EAU CLAIRE July 31.-Dr. Charles AL
exander of this city, nominated by the
ProhiDitionists for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS at
the Madison convention this week, was in
terviewed by your correspondent. He
stated that he was not yet ready to say
whether he would accept the nomination Or
not, as he had not been officially notified
that he was not member of the prohibi-
ton party. and had no utilization with it
except that he was a temperance man: that
he had always been Republican, and that
he would look into the matter further be-
fore stating whether or not he would ac-
cept. DR.. Alexander is strong man with
the people, and is in sympathy with reason
able methods of temperance reform, but
the probabilities are that he will, after cor
sideration. decline the nomination. He
was nominated for mayor of this city last
spring by the Prohibltionists and polled the
heaviest vote ever cast by that party here.
Nevertheless, he did not formally accept
the nomination, and he voted the straight
Republican ticket as he had always done.
DR.. Alexander is native of Maine and an
enthusiastic Blaine man. Ii he declines to
run for Acknowledgements, the Prohibi-
tionis will have lost the strongest card in
their hand this fall.

Disappeared Together.


WINoNA, July 31.-The sudden disap-
pearance of Mrs. Paul Smith and a boarder
named Louis Stiren, has created something
of a sensation here. Last week Mrs.
Smith told friend that her husband and
Mr.. Siren had gone to the s3ngerfest at
Milwaukee, but it seems that they did not
go. They disappeared somewhere. how
ever, and early this week Mr.. Siren re-
turned alone. Mrs. Smith then sold off a
number of her household effects, and stated
that she was going out to board. But it
transpires, as reported. that Siren
and Mr.. Smith left on the Mil
waukee road Thursday night for
Chicago, and have not been heard from
since. Neither has Mr.. Smith shown up.
A skiff which belonged to the Smiths was
turned over to VIM. Roessner, book
seller on Third street, by Mrs. Smith just
before her sudden departure, and Roessner
proceeded to test it as pleasure craft by
taking row on the Mississippi. He at
once discovered that the boat leaked and
investigation revealed several little holes in
it. This at once gave rise to the suspicion
that Smith, who was missing had been
foully dealt with, and the matter was at
once reported to police headquarters.
Nothing yet has been revealed in the mat
ter. Some OF, Smiths friends say he was
peculiar and liable to go off without leaving
word and they are inclined to believe that
there is nothing in the suspicion of his hav
ing been the victim of foul play.

Earning Pin-Money.


Those society ladies who are wont to visit
necktie factories in their carriages and take
away goods to make up at their homes will
hereafter find many complications surround
ing this somewhat ingenious method OF
earning pin-money. The working girls
have frequently complained that their rcl
sisters are taking the bread out of theil
mouths, and, circumstances having grown
useless, they now propose to adopt other
means for protecting their interests. They
are having prepared a careful list of the
rich ladies who do this work at their homes,
and after Sept. they will send the list to
all the prominent society people in town. 1t
is more than probable that this threat will
prove efficacous. as the fashionable women,
of course. will not care to have society
know that they are thus ''demeaning''
themselves by work.

YOUNG AND HANDSOME
Mrs. FraZee Having Serious Trouble
In Getting a Divorce.


Special to the Globe.
MooRHEAD, July 31.-Dr. Knaus of this
city is physician of fine attachments and
address, prominent member of the Knights
of Pythias and Masonic orders For some time
past he has been greatly enamOred of the
young and handsome Mrs. FraZee of this
city. Just who or what this fascinating
lady is, has not been known until few
days past. 1t has been generally supposed
that she was widow or graSsWidow.
Recent developments. however. have shown
that she is married woman who wants
divorce and for some time past has been
Sueing for it in the district court at Fargo, a
lawyer of that city acting as her attorney.
Fortunately or otherwise. as the case may
be, something over month ago. DR..

brethren of the secret orders took him in

of the woman and endeaVorng to persuade
him to abandon the idea of marrying her. and
accept the position secured for him of as

About this time the petition for divorce in
the case of Frazee vs. FraZee was granted
in the court at Fargo, but the doctor failed
to pay the attorneys fees and the latter
prevented the signing of the decree on this
account Matters have stood i'll this way
for week or more, the doctor unable to
sunder the ties that held him from the fair.
one. A few days since, Mr.. Frazee put in
all appearance, having, it is said, just COM
pleted an engagement at state institution
in Illinois. On learning the situation
and the part the gay doctor had played i'll
the drama, he at once proceeded to raise
sheol by going on the war path with a COM
plete armory, the doctor being the game he
is looking for. The latter is supposed to be
sequestered by his friends waiting for the
storm to subside or FraZee to depart. His
partly-divorced wife says he is dangerous
man when excited and further develop
ments are looked for.
