Every morning there comes to the house
In which | live a fine. hale old man, with
the fresh scent of country lanes about
him. who brings an abundant supply of
vegetables, of a quality one can only find
in the most expensive green groceries and
fruit stores He makes a business of
serving the products of his little market
garden across the North river to a choice
list of customers in certain apartment
houses of the better order he sells all
that he can deliver, and the prices he
gets, while reasonable enough to satisfy
his patrons, are sufficiently liberal to
compensate him handsomely There are
other men, l notice. who make a specially
of milk. eggs and other fresh table com-
modities. which they deliver after the
same fashion. directly from their farms or
poultry yards. They pay nc tribute to a

are not long in establishing q profitable
connection. After this it is plain sailing
with them.
The business Of putting up preserves
and jellies seems also to be extensively
followed by rural housewives, who seek
their industry in much the same way.
Some of them advertise in the family pa
pers. h majority employ a drummer
to beat up custom in town The fact that
they can afford the expense of advertise
ment or the salary of IN agent. and still
make a greater profit than if they sold
their products to the shops, may serve as
a slight mint of the proportions of gain
that fall to the middle man or retailer. A
mar in Fordham who has quite an ex-
tensive fruit farm, which, thanks to his
passion for improving varieties, produces
some of the finest fruit in the country,
informs me that he now gets nearly three
times as much for the product of his or
chard, which he retails himself. thar he
did when he sold it to a fruiterer. And
still his customers get it cheaper than
they did from the fruit shop.-Alfred

Tho Winter Cradle of China.

The Chinese have a queer institution
which they call the winter cradle. 1t is
shaped somewhat like an hour glass and
stands on end There is an opening above
and below. and the waist. which is con.
tracted. serves to keep the celestial baby
on his feet. Day after day little almond
shaped eyes peep over the top of this
cradle and little hands play with minia.
ture dragons and other toys till the nurse
puts in an appearance. Some of these
winter cradles are made of wicker work
and are beautifully painted by Chinese
women artists. 1t is almost impossible
for one to be upset; but now and then,
when two are placed close together and
the occupants declare war and measure
arms, two cradles roll over the floor to
noises that bring down the house,

Coast Trading i'm south Amer,ca.

A system Of deck trading" is carried
on by the people Of the country all along
the west coast. Men and women come on
board the steamer with fruits, market
produce and other articles, which are
strewn about the deck and sold to people
who visit the vessel at each port. These
traders are charged passage money and
freight by the steamship companies, and
are a nuisance to the other passengers
Each female trader brings a mattress to
sleep upon. a chair to use during the day,
her own. cooking and chamber utensils,
and spends a great part of her life sailing
from one port to another.-WiIliam Eie.

Horses and Mules in Mexico.

The Mexican horse is a serviceable ami.
NAL, good for long journeys. easy in a
canter, intelligent. full of fun at times,
but rarely vicious, and could he be domes-
ticated in the United States would be very
popular. The rare air of these table lands
Is %unfavorable to imported horses, and it
requires several months to acclimate a
Kentucky horse here. American carriage
horses are imported because of their size
and good style. SO. 900 a pair being a not
~infrequent price. But nothing is more
nristocratic looking than a p of fine
mules drawing a family coach. American
visitors are always enthusiastic over the
hanaSsome, well groomed pairs Of mules
one sees here.
E~questrianism for ladies' is becoming
popular, and there are some excellent
riders among the fair sex. The climate
permits riding every morning in the year,
which. to a rider, is a great source of
pleasure One does not have to wonder
II the next morning will be pleasant. and
there Is no forced confinement to the
rectangle of the riding school. where FIRE
quent turning of corners Is conducive to
dizziness ami final disgust with the no

Race and Mental Disease,

In an article entitled Race and In.
sanity" published in The American Jour.
nal of Insanity. Drs. Bannister and HEX
toen, physicians of the Illinois eastern
hospital for the insane. express the opin-
ion that there Is little doubt but that
insanity is influenced by race. From the
statistics of three institutions In which
insane persons are treated they draw the
following conclusions / That in the
white race the Oppressive types of mental
disease are most FREQUENT in the Germanic
and scandinavian I'r iles, and least so in
the Celts: the re"t of this appears to
be the case as to DOC EXALTED or maniacal
types. 2. That general paralysis is not a
disorder to which any race is immune. but
one that depends upon causes independent
of racial or national peculiaritics 8.
That the well known fact that insanity is
much more common among the foreign
born than among natives in this coun
try is not to any great extent eIplainab!e
by the shipment of the defective classes
of Europe to America.
The "craDks and epileptics and other
neurotic individuals do not appear to be
represented, in due proportion even.
among the foreigners In our asylums
The cause of the excess of foreign born
insane in this country is. it seems proba
BILE. to be looked for mainly m the fact
that, suppos1ng the immigration to in
clude only its proportion of persons below,
the average of mental strength and fexi
bility, the change of scene and ~associa-
tions. the difficulties of beginning life
among them, disappointments. bomesick-
ness, and all the other accidents and trials
that befall the new Corners. together con-
tribute 70 break down mentally a vast
number who under other circumstances

OUR STANDARD BEARER.

OUR STANDARD BEARER.
u OF all the strong characteristics of the
man Yesterday selected by the territorial
convention as the Democratic nominee for
delegate in congress. the strongest is that
he is essentially a man of the people. He
is one of the many men who came to
Wyoming in the early days with nothing
for his capital but a stout heart and a pair
Of strong arms. He whacked bulls over
the plains, he herded cattle; he did any
honorable work by which he could earn
an honest living. By dint OF persever-
ance and laborious effort, and perhaps to
a certain extent through a fortunate COM
bination of circumstances, he acquired a
fair share of this worlds goods and
assumed a prominent place il the COM
mercial circles of the territory.
But prosperity brought with it no frills
to Perry Organ. He was still the same
ap%proachable, substantial. hearty man
that he had ever been. His old time
friends, though less fortunate than him
self, were still his friends and he was
their friend. When any hard labor pre-
scented itself he could still turn loose and
did TURF loose, with his old time vigor to
perform it. He was not of the kind who
are afraid of soiling their hands with
manual labor and felt no %repugnance
against shaking the horny fist of a COM
mon working man.
These circumstances, combined with a
sturdy, honest and unimpeachable integ'
rity, have kept Perry Organ closer to the
hearts of the people than he ever sus-
pected and his nomination yesterday was
simply a capitalization of this sentiment in
the hearts of a party which will delight
to do him honor.
The Democratic party OF Wyoming
Territory may now 80 before the people
and frankly ask their suffrages. They
have absolutely no apologies to make.
Their candidate has been intimately
known to the people of the West for the
past twenty FIVE years. He has served
them in public capacities with the same
sterling honesty tHaJ HAS CnaEdcUeTlLeu Ills
private transactions. No stain rests on
his private record or his public career.
He has never been an Office
seeker, but as in this case, when the
public demanded his services. he
has cheerfully sacrificed his own
private interests to labor for the general
good. He is essentially a western man
Energetic. self-reliant, adaptive, a man
who stands up unflinchinQly for what he
believes is right and meets like a man
every rough emergency that confronts
him.
As has been well said the party honored
itself in honoring Perry Organ. With
such a man for our standard bearer we
can now go before the people with the ut.
most confluence that the nomination
made last evening will receive triumphant
satisfaction at the polls on the 9th day Of
next November.
II, Perry Organ is good enough for

There Is nothing more acceptable to all
classes than a kind. affable, courteous be-

who is courteous will exercise a very good
Influence over those above him. We re-

Malaria was comparatively automatically
It Is Is common as any word in the English
language, vet this word covers only the mean

as they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grandfsthers called Biliousness, and
all are caused by troubles that arise from a
diseased condition of the Liver which in per
forming its functions finding it cannot dispose
of the bile through the ordinary channel is

Fever, etc. You who are suffering can well
