CANNED Goods.


The canning factory was running on
full blast yesterday, working on
tomatoes. Parties coming into the
circus brought in several loads.
About cocoon cans have been
put up of this one vegetable
and the work will still continue until
there comes heavy frost. The COM
pany are having no trouble to dispose
of the goods and the grocers in the city
report that the citizens are pretty gen.
orally using the home product when ii
can be had. A large portion
of the goods put up have been sold to
a st. Joe firm. Smaller shipments are
being made every day to cities nearer
home and the manager reports that
the company could sell twice as much
as they will have canned this season
The weather effects the corr
yield great deal and the tomatoes
were similarly cut short, although il
many cases the proper care was not
given the growing crop as evi
denced by the quality and quantity
brought to this factory.

THE best campaign poem we have
seen has received the least attention.
1t is by Captain Jack Crawford, and is
the story of an old veteran who, len
dered helpless by his wounds, is COM
PEELED to go to the poor house. He ap-
plies for pension, and a bill for his
reliet goes through congress. While
he is rejoicing over his good luck, he
receives word that the president has
vetoed the bill. But he does not COM
plain. He simrly says: ''Mebbe
twas right fur to do tive not much
larnin', you ses; and he knows, ex-
pect, what's right and correct good
deal better than me; but there's one
that's higher than him, sir, and when
from this earth I'm free, 1 reckon I'll
find He will be more kind than the
president has been to me.-Atchison

LIKE candle lit in the broad glare
of the SUMS Illuminating power, and
with about an equal claim co useful
ness, the third or prohibition party
grows beautifully less as ca III day
passes. And again, like a candle, as it
has nothing but itself to feed on, it is
more than probable that in the full
glare of the resplendance of the repub-
lican sun, it will be overlooked and for
gotten, and its little flame not noticed
at all in November next. If Maine is
any criterion to judge by, the above is
true. In the state election of 1866
Maine gave the candidates of that
party 1878 votes out of total of 1885,
567 votes cast in the state; at the state
election of 1888 it gives it's candidates
only 1871 votes out of a total of l43 1858.
So, likewise, i'll Vermont, where in 1856
the third party prohibition votes were
1852, while in 1888 they are only l $3.50.

THE United States law prohibiting
Importation of pauper labor was passed
during republican administration and
was approved by a republican presi-
dent. Yet every day or two the wis
acre who runs the plate sheet down
street talks about the republican theo-
rY of taxing raw material and admitting
pauper immigration free" 1t does not
care to speak of the fact that it is only
during this so called reform democratic
administration that the labor and anti
Chinese laws are VIGOROUSLY not only
evaded but openly violated, whole car
goes of paupers having been admitted
at various eastern ports, and the Chi
nese on the Pacific coast flocking intO
our territory from over both the Cana
dian and Mexican lines. This will not
be so after next March, when a presi
dent chosen by the union people will
take his seat, and look to the interests
of the entire country, instead of only a
small section below Mason and Dixon's

Now, 1t stands to reason that II n stem
ographer or type writer is worth So a
week this year she ought to be worth $40
n week mex year. and ii seems to me that
any considerable employer would recognize
the enormous improvement in the work
done, and on the general principle OF
equity and honesty see that the compensa-
ton was also increased.
The moment a girl finds herself in the
regular receipt Of $40 a week, where does
she stand?
She has n certain income OF $500 a year,
which is at least $3.50 more than the
average clergyman, in this country or any
other country, receives. She has as big
pay rs three-fifths Of the bookkeepers In
the big commercial houses Of New York.
Her income is quite rs large as thousands
OF statesmen and clerks upon whom are
dependent families, and II, rs many OF
them do, she becomes SO expert, and
therefore so useful, / might almost say SO
necessary to her employers success, and
assuredly to his comfort, as to earn so a

world. To dress well, to stint herself IN
nothing that one in her position should
need or desire. Joe Howard In New YORK

patrol the river. No regular boat could
pass the shoals TO come far enough up the
Tennessee river for the purpose; besides,
IL he asked the government for a gunboat
the war might end before he could get IL.
He found an old mule ferryboat. This he
patched up, and mounting n gun forward
set her atloat undo. the name Of the
"Gunboat Tennessee" There is some
thing ludicrous in the military gravity
with which he gave his instructions TO its
commander. When one considers the i'm
mense resources that were placed at the
disposal of other generals and the make
shifts Of Mitchell, working with nothing
except what he could %improyise, there is
something more than ludicrous in this
order. 1t is pathetic:
CAPTAIN: You are placed in command
Of the Gunboat Tennessee, now lying ut
Whitesburg. You will find IN piece OF
artillery on board the boat. You will
take on board a crew Of armed river men
from your own company such rs you may
deem necessary. You are also authorized
to take on board volunteers from the de-
tachment Of the Fifteenth Kentucky, now
Mt Whitesburg. Go prepared for any
emergency to work your boat should the
horses and mules be killed"

linn Eisk,s ShreWd DODGE.

Years ago when the New York Central
and Erie railroads were engaged in a
desperate and destructive battle of cut
rates, Jim Fisk played a shrewd dodge on
Commodore Vanderbilt. The freight
rates from Chicago to New York city
were 50 low that there was no profit in
transportation. Fisk seized the golden
opportunity to buy cattle; shipped the
cattle over the commodore's road, and so
blocked the commodore's transportation
facilities that the Central was obliged to
refuse ali other freight. Fisk then put
up the price Of freight on the Erie, and
was not only able to do IA lucrative bust
ness while the Central was carrying cows
at q loss, but he was also able TO get his
cattle to the market, via the c~ommodore's
line, at such low terms that he made q
profit on every head.-The Argonaut.

Education Among the Chinese.

As a people the Chinese males are better
educated than any other race OF people in
the world. Education to n certain extent
is compulsory for all Chinese males,
although the mass cannot DO much more
than read and write; still to that extent
they are all educated. 1t has been the
policy Of the Chinese government for
hundreds Of years to select n certain mum
Der of boys from each district and educate
them for historians and writer's. Their
work is never completed, for rs long as
they live and are able to do anything they
continue to study and write. Every five
years they pass an examination, and, nc
cording to their proficiency, they are pro-
NOTED to Office or rank. AS a rule no
Chinese can hope to attain prominence in
any civil or military Office pertaining to
the government unless he has succeeded
as a scholar, for the Chinese believe nc
man can succeed as n scholar unless he
has ability, and if he possesses ability,
why then, as n matter Of course, he Is a
suitable person TO hold office; but m mat
ter how high the office may be, he must
continue his studies, the duties Of his
Office being generally performed by a
deputy.-San Francisco Cor. Chicago

Girls Going on the Stage.

81 don't think / would advise n girl to
20 on the stage. The only reason for not
doing SO is the hardships she must go
through to get q position, the percentage
Of failures is so much larger than that OF
successes. Why, leaving out the Mojes-
kas and the Clara Morrises, you can count
IN your fingers the ambitious young girls
who nave become successful stars. The
great cause Of failure is vanity, both with
ONE and men. A girl says TO herself
Il have II pretty face, or "A handsome fig
ure,' and when she is before the footlights
that is all she thinks Of. So much study,
Oh, SO much study is necessary To success.
II u girl has talent and q steady head,
and must work for a living, then, | say,
let her try the sta0e. Dollars and cents
are the best incentive, because when it Is
a matter of bread and butter she feels
that she must study, must constantly
improve.
1.-THE temptations of the stage9 Well,
they are not SO great that n girl with the
qualities of success can not resist them.
The rules of theaters nowadays are so
strict that a girl who obeys them has no
difficulty in going right. She must take
care Of her health and she must study,
or she will not succeed, and if she does
both she has 10 time to go wrong, no
time for midnight suppers or much COM
pany. She must have sense enough to know
that the compliments and attentions of ad-
mircrs are not always well meant. There
Is, indeed, very little vice on the stage.
Oh, have known SO many beautiful lives
on the stage. Annie Pixley in New
York Mail and Express.

The course which an earthquake runs Is
usually very rapid. From the moment
when the first shock was felt at Lisbon to
the period when all was over, and nearly
30, 900 people were killed, not more than
four minutes elapsed. A few seconds, we
learn from "Our Earth and It's Story" are
usually n more frequent time for the shock
or shocks TO last. Yet, while Caracas in
Venezuela was almost destroyed and II, 900
Of its inhabitants Killed by the earthquake
OF 1912, within the limits OF half q min
utc, there are cases in which constantly
recurring shocks last for weeks, months
mud even years, as if the laboring earth
was still trying TO relieve itself of some
Of its superintendent energy.
For example. the Calabrian earthquake
Of February, 1888. was not quite finished
before December, 17S6, and 1t is a COM
mon Observable that the preliminary
shock is usually followed by one of greater
severity, and this in its turn by others
less intense, like the distant claps Of
thunder which herald the passing storm.
But in this brief span the most ~frightful
havoc can be wrought, and the wave OF
destruction propagated, from the most
distant regions. The rumbling earth
sound travels, for instance, at the rate Of
0.000 or II 900 feet per second, and the
earth wave, on an average, about 200
feet in the same space of time, though in
Charleston, rs we have seen, Il much
higher rate was attained Toronto Truth.

DARK DAYS Of the Confcderacy.

The subject Of lights was another with
which it was found difficult TO contend.
Tallow was used freely during the iii st
years OF the war: Old candle molds were
brought out from their hiding places ana
pat TO use, and tallow dips became as ia
mlliar to us as they had been to our fore
fathers. But the source Of supply for
these lights of other days" soon became
exhausted, and woman's ingenuity was
again put TO the test. Lard also had been
in frequent use, and "A favOrite light was
a saucer or car filed with this melted
substance wherein 1ioated n burning syc-
amore ball. II, too, was growing scarce,
however, and a new material must be
evolved. Several things were tried, but
u mixture of beeswaX and rosin was
found best of them all. Through this
mixture, when melted, n long coil of
candle wicking was drawn again and
again, until thoroughly coated, and in
order to make this coating even several
persons stood in n row holding the wick
ing at short intervals and shaping the
way upon it as it passed through their
hands. The position of greatest honor
and difficulty in his undertaking was
conceded TO be the one next To the pan
containing the heated melted mixture.
When cold, this waxen rope was
wound, row after row, around IA bottle,
with the free end put through n strip OF
tin with n hole in ii in order To hold it up
right. These candles gave forth a meager
but a steady light. "Candlemaking bees"
were quite the style, and young ladies and
their military beaux ION leave" nan
