THE TOMATO PACK OF 1883.
The Increase in Putting Up Exceeding
the Increase In Demand.

The annual report of the tomato pack OF
the United States and Canada, as COM
piled by the american Grocer, indicates a
second era of overproduction. OF tomatoes
there were put up last season 3,319, 437
cases of two dozen tins each, or total of
79,66S,4SS cans, costing at points of pro-
duction about $6,000000, and reaching
consumers at total expense of 100000
The acreage was largely increased in all
directions, but fortunately (as the result
shows the weather was unfavorable to the
proper and full development of the crop !;
and yet, in spite of cold and backward
season, heavy periods of rainfall in some
States and long droughts in others, and
early killing frosts in October, the pack
turns out to be unusually large, reaching a
total of 3,3l9,437 cases, against 2,S17 ,04S
cases in 1887.
The canning industry has grown rapidly
in the Western and Southern States, large
ly reducing the demand upon Baltimore,
Philadelphia and New York for such
goods. In few years each section of the
country bids fair to supply its wants from
home canneries. The leading points of
production are Maryland and Virginia
credited with 1,118,733 cases New Jersey,
7S9, 1868; Delaware, $4,000; New York,
1875, 432; Western States, 796,599 Eastern
States, 1880; Canada, 1890.
1t is apparent that houses for canning
vegetables are multiplying faster than the
demand warrants. The output of corn
far exceeds any previous year, and SIM
liar statement would have been made in
regard to tomatoes had climate conditions
been as favorable for the tomato crop as
for sweet corn.
Overproduction benefits consumers, as
it enables the poorest to have at command
at all seasons of the year a full line of
fresh fruits and vegetables at phenome-
nally low prices. DIR. Cyrus Edison has
declared that there is no more wholesome
food than canned goods properly preserved
A can of corn, beans, tomatoes or peas of
good quality can be bought from 6 to 10
cents, and extra brands from II to Is
cents.
Certainly the diet of the masses has
been greatly improved since the advent of
canned goods, which now furnish during
the winter season, at reasonable cost, a
much needed supply of antiscorbutic food,
and it is fair to assume that to this i'm
provement in the variety and quality of
the diet is due in some degree the average
increase in longevity, which is shown by
the vital statistics to be about two years
more than twas generation since.

SIBERIAN PARASITES.
How Life IL Made q Burden to Traveller
in the Cars Domains

in the Cars Domains.
In George Remnants Siberia article in
the next number of the Century he thus
describes one Of the incidents or travel in
the Cars domains:
mo single hardship connected with our
investigation of the exile system was more
trying to me than the utter impossibility
of escaping from parasitic vermin. Cold,
hunger, sleeplessness and fatigue could
bear with reasonable patience and iorti-
tude; but to be forced to live for weeks at
a time in clothing infested with heas, lice
or bedbugs from the unclean bodies of
common criminal convicts not only seemed
to me intolerable in Itself, but gave me a
humiliating sense of physical deflement
that was almost as bad as consciousness
of moral degradation. We tried in every
possible way to rid ourselves of these para
site prison insects, but without success.
The older and more neglected etapes along
the road were swarming with vermin of
all sorts, and whenever we examined one
of these places, we came away from it with
small but varied chronological collection
in our clothing.
"The insects soon secured Judgment in
our blankets and pillows as well as in the
crevices and lining of our tarantas, and
then it was impossible either to EXTERN
mate or to escape them. After throwing
away successfully two or three suits OF
underclothing, l abandoned al nope OF
relief and reconciled myself to the newt
able as best I could. There were insects
on my body or in my clothing during the
greater Fart of four months, and when
was able to undress for the first time after
our nine days journey from Krasnoyarsk
to Irkutsk I found myself spotted and
blotched from head to foot as if l was suf
fering from some foul eruptive disease. II
is not pleasant, of course, to go into these
details, but l wish the reader to under.

A DOMESTIC HOMILY.
What Our Mothers Learned and What
Our Children Learn.

Our Children Learn.
In 1900 Esther Lloyd, the daughter of
wealthy landowner in the western part of
Virginia, was sent North for year or two
of finishing" at fashionable school.
When she returned she could play on the
guitar and sing ballads very sweetly; could
parse in Paradise Lost" bound the chief
countries of Europe, and name the planets,
and she was an expert in wax and filagree
work
She married after three years, and her
knowledge of domestic affairs was such
that she at once took charge of large
household of white and black servants,
whom she governed with skill and tact
The establishment was almost complete
within itself. Weaving, spinning, tailor
ing, the making up of every kind of gar
ments, the curing OF meat, dairy work, the
preservation of every kind OF food, were
carried on under her eye. She was an ex-
pert nurse, and capable of prescribing for
children and slaves in simple ailments.
Without culture" as 1t is known now,
her manners were fine, stately, yet graci-
Gus. They were those natural to a woman
of kindly feeling who has long had the
habit of authority.
Her granddaughter, another Esther, born
Fifty years later, came home from college
familiar with countless facts and lines of
thought of which the first Esther never
heard. The younger woman was skilled in
the higher mathematics and in four lam
guages. But her household, when she
married, was left in the care of ill-trained,
paid servants. She did not know how the
food which they spoiled should be cooked.
When her child was i'll, she could not
spread plaster or fasten bandage, but
was forced to leave him entirely to the care
of a nurse.
Her clothing was bought ready made
nothing in her home bore evidence of her
skill, taste or care. With all her clever
ness and knowledge, she lacked some
ability, some skill which gave to the older
woman definite place and power in her
generation.
In how many families would these true
pictures find place? In the days of our
grandmothers education for women was
limited. They found an outlet for their
intelligence and energy in household af-
fairs. When the chances of education
were given TO the women of the next gen.
Grafton, they sighted the humble domestic
arts as mental and unintellectual

miliar with the sick room as well as the
laboratory, and teach them to use kitchen
utensils at least as skillfully as the brush
and palette In the public schools of some
of our largestscities sewing and cooking are
taught to the girls, and in several of the
higher class of private schools courses in
nursing are given.
The Companion would not deter any
young girl from taking the highest course
open to her in classical, scientific or art
istic education she may sometime find use
for such knowledge But every woman
sometime in her life requires knowledge
of housekeeping and the care of the sick.

Half the grace wherewith like spring
Love arrays her.
Love untold
Sings in silence, speaks in light,
Shed from each fair feature, bright
Still from heaven, whence toward us, now
Nine years since she deigned to bow
Down the brightness of her brow;
Deigned to pass through mortal birth;
Reverence calls her. here on earth,
Nine years old.
Loves deep duty,
Even when love transfgured grows
Worship, all too surely knows
How, though love may cast out fear,
Yet the debt divine and dear
Due to childhoo1's godhead here
May by love of man be paid
Never; never, song be made
Worth its beauty.
Naught is all
Sung or said or dreamed OF thought
Ever, set beside it; naught
All the love that man may give
Love whose prayer should be, Forgive p
Heaven, we see on earth may live:
Earth can thank not heaven we know,
Save with songs that ebb and flow,
Rise and fall.
No man living,
No man dead, save hapIy one
Now gone hOmeward past the sun,
Ever found such grace as might
Tune his tongue to praise Alright
Children, flowers of love and light,
Whom our praise dispraises; we

Hope that smiled.
Seeing her newborn beauty, made
Out of heavens own light and shade
Smiled not half so sweetly love:
Seeing the sun, afar above,
Warm the nest that rears the dove,
Sees, more bright than moon or sun,
All the heaven of heavens in one
Little child.
Who may sing her?
Wings of angels when they stir
Make no music worthy her:
Sweeter sound her shy soft words
Here than songs of Gods own birds
Whom the fire of rapture girds
Round with light from loves face Lit;
Hands OF angels find no fit
Gifts to bring her.
Babes at birth
Wear as raiment round them cast.
Keep as witness toward their past,
Tokens left of heaven; and each,
Ere its lips learn mortal speech,
Ere sweet heaven pass on past reach,
Bears in undiverted eyes
Proof of unforgotten skies
Here on earth.
Quenched as embers
Quenched with flakes of rain or snow
Till the last faint fame burns low,
All those lustrous memories lie
Dead with babyhood gone by,
Yet in her they dare not die.
Others, fair as heaven is, yet
Now they share not heaven, forget.
She remembers.

Primitive Road-Makinx.
BxehAnA.

It is we'll enough known that cattle, sheep and buffAloes form paths while horses do not. This results not from difference in the habits of travelling, but from the form of the boot. The spreading foot of animals with acloven hoof compresses the soil upon which they trample, but the tendency of the solid hoof of tho horse is to break up the soil.
 This is seen most plainly in the action of the different hoofs upon our snow roads In winter. The author of "The Cruise of the Falconn says:
 "When we reached the bank of the stream, we were landed on quick sand. Several Indians now commenced to run rapidly backward and forward over this, and In this way soon formed fairly hard road for ourselves and horses.
 "This method of making . tempo -.ry scl!a path acroes . qnicksAnd is very effectual. In Africa they first drive the oxen across . river that the sands may thus become sufficiently hard to allow tho heavy wagons to cross without danger of their sinking permanently into the treacherous bot tom"

He Was an Odd Genius.

Prot. F. V. Hayden was the founder of the system which developed into the geographical surrey os the United States. He was . man of great genius and 6 renowned scholar, but, accord ing to the Pittsburg Dfspdtch, cratic and peculiar.
 It was not uncommon for strangers to fellow him for several blocks, their attention arrested by his bowed figure as he almost ran for few steps- then suddenly stopped, with his gray. sharp eyes fixed on the pavement-then ran again as If . sudden thought had struck him, then they would inquire, "Who can that poor insane man be7n
 While Prof. Hayden was exploring the land of the Sioux Indians some years ago, he once, in his enthusiastic passion for geographical research, wandered away from his party; he had loaded himself down with large specimens ofmineral, and while tramp ing slowly along in his absent minded way the Indians captured him. They whooped and yelled at their prize at first, but upon seeing the "rocks and worthless stones" which the poor man was struggling under, and his com- posed, abstrActed manner, they de- cided that he was "afflicted with a foolish mind" They took him with out protest on his part, which only confirmed their fears; and after . few hours captivity the old scientist with "his rocks" was led to the near est point of civilization and turned loose" lest the Great Spirit should punish them for any "harm done the foolish or simple minded"
 He was daring, fearless and reckless In danger c most distinguished scien- tific man, and much beloved by the young men of his survey. His death during the past year was greatly mourned.
