The election on Tuesday on the propos-

especially permitting special legislation,
called out only a light vote. Returns from
all the lower counties how majorities

north district there being 81, all of which
were against the first amendment, and so
against the second, the south district poll

AS is remarked by the Philadelphia Re
cord. the scarcity of fruit this year will
turn the attention of careful housewives
toward the consideration of all Dossihle
substitutes. 1t is quite useless to try to
quite fill the gap caused by the failure of
of apples and peaches; but something may
be done. Much use may be made ofgrapes.
Tomatoes can be preserved, picked, and
turned into relishing sauces of great vari-
ETY.. Melon, %citron, cantaloupes and cram
berries are all plentiful and, properly pre-
pared, make wonderfully fine confeetions.
The foreign markets will in all probability
be drained of their supplies of dried fruits
to make good our wants, but the loss of
accustomed fruits can be best remedied by
a larger use of what remains within reach.
