The Tomato Packing Industry.
Baltimore SIM.


The business of packing tomatoes was larger in
Maryland last year than in 1885, and the total for
the United States was about 500, 900 cases above
the annual pack Of the past Eve years. The an
nual report compiled by the American Grocer
shows that the total number of cases of tomatoes
packed in the United States and Canada during
1887 was 2,8l5,04S, each case containing two
dozen tins and making the total supply 81 SOL 1852
cans. The year 1887 opened upon market scan
tiy supplied with goods which stimulated pro.
duction. In Maryland some packing houses which
had been previously closed for two or three years
were reopened, and several large factories were
started in Hartford county, while in Baltimore city
the packers, disappointed by a short peach crop,
employed the tins for tomatoes The American
Grocer does not give in its table of he years pack
by States the product OF Maryland separately, but
including this State with Virginia and Pennsyl-
vania foOts up the total 96S 646 of two dozen
tins each for 1887, against 592 $50 cases in 1886.
1t is probable that the pack of Maryland is the
largest of any State in the Union, New Jersey
coming next with total of 652925 cases for 1887.
The Canada pack is $4,000 cases, leaving the total
for the United States 2,763,O4S cases, while the
average annual requirements of the two countries
are estimated at $500 900 cases. The american
Grocer thinks it safe to assume that all the toma,
toes, over eleven and ahalf millions of cases,
which we're packed during the past five years will
have disappeared before next seasons goods are
available, and this will afford better basis for
future calculations than the trade has ever had
before. 1t is thought that the year 1888 will be
satisfactory in its results to the canned goods
trade 1887, unless the packers overstock the
market, as the temptation will be to extend opera
tions, and if this becomes general the supply will
be ahead of requirements, with the result of spoil
ing what is now an excellent market.

Prof. Ely on Modified prohibition,

Prof Richard 7. Ely, member of the Maryland
Tax Commission. prepared special report on the
subject of taxation in this State in which he al
ludes also to the subject ofprohibition. He says
"The sentiment in favor ofrestricting the liquor
traffic is in our Southern States daily increasing
in strength, and some of our best-known and most
respected public men have pronounced in favor of
total prohibition. This sentiment has been the
natural outgrowth of the actual conditions of af-
fairs, for the liquor saloon is seen to be the bane
of politics we'll q curse to our industrial and
domestic life. While public sentiment will not
warrant prohibition in all parts of Maryland it
is evidently time to proceed to place restraints
upon the liquor traffic.
81 recommend that the number of places where
liquor may be sold be limited to one to two thou
sand of the population in incorporated cities, and
to one to fifteen hundred ofthe population in those
parts of counties outside of incorporated cities
that the municipalities and counties be divided
into liquor districts accordingly, and that the
right to sell liquor in each be sold at public auc-
ton to the highest bidder, under heavy penalties
for violation of Sunday law and laws relating to
sale of liquor to minors, and to other matters
which, for the public good, may be included with
in liquor laws. The prohibitionists in their organ
admit that a diminished number of saloons dimin-
ishes the liquor traffic, and experience of Other
countries seems to confirm this. Why cannot
then, all good people unite on such a measure
which would at the same time yield large reve-
nue9 The right to prohibit the sale Of liquor by
popular vote in any municipality or county could
and should be coupled with this"

His Own Dog Killed his Sheep.
Lancaster { Pa.) Examiner.


The Commissioners of Crawford county were
called upon to pay peculiar claim against the
county recently. The law compels the payment
of dog tax in the county, and in Of the kill
ing of sheep by dogs the county is bound to pay
the owner of the sheep the amount of damage he
has sustained from sheep-killing dogs. One Of
the leading farmers of this township had dog fol
which he paid the tax assessed the animal
thus obtaining the right to keep him for the year
A few nights ago the farmer heard great CON-
motion among his sheep, and, hurrying to the en-
closure where they we're kept, found seven of them
dead and one dying, with the farmers own dog
tearing at its throat He made short work of the
dog, shooting it dead as soon as he could get his
gun. The next day the farmer went to Meadvillt
aud put in bill against the county for the eight
sheep his dog had killed.
at was my own dog that did the damage,
know" be argued before the Board of Commission
ers, "but had paid tax to the county on him and
had right to own him. If he had killed som,
other mans sheep the county would have paid fol-
them. He has killed mine, and the county il
bound to pay me the same as it would have paiC
my neighbor if my dog had killed his sheep"
The Commissioners were at first inclined to laugh
off the novel claim, but when several lawyer
agreed that the farmers claim had good chance
of being sustained at law, the Commissioners re
strained their mirth and paid for the sheep.

Throwing a Shoe After tho Bride.

LtpptHcOH &HuJu~t"es
The custom of throwing one or more old shoes
after the bride or groom either when they 60 to
church to be married or when they start on their
wedding journey is SO old the memory of man
stretches not back to its beginning. Some think
it represents an assault and is lingering trace Of
the custom among savage nations of carrying away
the bride by violence; others think that it is a
relic Of the ancient law of exchange or purchase,
and that it formerly implied the surrender by the
parents Of all dominion or authority over their
daughter. It has likeness to Jewish custom
mentioned in the Bible. Thus, in Deuteronomy
we read that when the brother of dead man re-
fused to marry his widow she asserted her inde-
pendence Of him By "loosing his SHOE" Also, in
Ruth, when the kinsman of Boaz gave up his claim
to the Inheritance of Ruth and to Ruth also, be
indicated bis assent by plucking of bis shoe and
giving it to Boaz. 1t was also the custom of the
Middle Ages to place the husbands shoe on the
head Of the nuptial couch, in token of his domina-
tim.
