Sending Grapes to Market.

Long professions of fruit wagons can
be seen during the grape season in Marl-
borough, Highland, Milton, New-Paltz,
and other Southern Ulster villages in
New York on their way to steamboat
landings and railroad stations. They are
loaded with grapes, and many tons of that
luscious fruit are shipped daily. The
grapes are cut in the vineyards in the
forenoon. They are collected together,
and then comes the packing and prepar-
ing for market. The fruit is placed in
wooden baskets, which are said to hold
five, six, eight, ten and fifteen pounds
each. When the fruit is packed the
cluster is denuded of every green and
dried berry, and no one but an expert
packer can put in basket the number OF
pounds of grapes which the package calls
for, and even they do not always succeed,
as the grape baskets are not unlike berry
cups in the matter of deception as to
size.
Some of the fruit baskets are made in
Ulster county, but the best packages come
from Western manufacturers, who seem
to employ the toughest wood, and the
packer is put to no loss by the breakage
of handlers, etc. The baskets are sold to
growers at $3s per 1000, and IA, 900
empty packages can be placed in one
freight car. The handles are not put on
when the packages are made, so that they
fit into one another and can thus be put
into small space. The labor-saving de-
vices save much work in preparing the
fruit for market.
Those growers who invested money in
spraying machines are in good spirits and
see no great piles of rotten grapes in their
vineyards, as was the case last year. Some
of these spraying machines cost the grow
ers $50. They consist of a barrel mounted
on wheels, to which is attached power
full force pump. The driver sits in the
rear of the barrel and uses one hand to
work the pump. There are two sprays on
each side as the horse is driven up and
down through the vineyard, and much
work can be accomplished in short time.

A WONDERFUL SPRING,

Tho Virginia Arsenic Bromine and Lithin
Water-Mnny Cures Made Through It's
Use-success of the Company Owning the
Spring.
Virginia Water, as it is briefly called, will
soon be known the world over. 1t is rapidly
gaining fame by means of it's undoubted and
wonderful curative powers, and it will event
ually bein general use throughout the entire
country. In addition to the cases Of scrofula
and other diseases cured, recently reported
in the Worlds columns, the writer has met
with many persons who were perfectly re-
lieved of divers blood diseases, previously y
considered incurable. in q manner that
seemed almost miraculous.
As already stated in the Worlds columns,
this water rushes boldly from the base of a
steep mountain, and its temperature is never
less than 20 degrees, even on the coldest day
in winter. As far back as the Oldest people
in this section can remember the spring,
then called the Crockett Warm Spring, had
u wide local reputation for its wonderful
curative powers. Last year the Arsenic
Bromine and Lithia Springs Company took
hold of it. This Company is now shipping
the water to all parts of the United States
and Canada. and new territory is every day
being added.
Those who are afflicted with diseases pro-
nounced incurable will receive with delight
the news that most of the cures effected by
the use of this water had long been consid-
cred hopeless cases by many eminent doctors.
Probably one OF the worst cases of scrof-
ula ever seen was that of q negro who ar
rived at the springs in such a condition that
he was obliged to live in the woods, for no
human being cared to see him, not to say to
take him in. He went away entirely cured,
a 10 aln lnnr l. fnAl nnt
man. He drank from and bathed in a stream
running from the spring, bnt considerable
distance away from it.
Where there is no agent for this Company
the water may be had through the leading
druggist or by applying direct to the Arsenic
Bromne and Lithia Springs Company,

Autographs in Iron.

An invention by which writing can be
transferred from paper to iron is the
work of Boston man, who has invented
a hard ink with which he writes (back-
ward) upon ordinary paper. That paper
is placed in mold, melted iron is
poured in, and when the hardened iron
is removed it is found that while the heat
burned away the paper, it did not affect
the ink, but left the impression of the
writing nodded in the iron. This dis
covery was made by noticing one day
that the printing on an ordinary hand
bill that by accident had fallen into the
mold was family transferred in this way.

Action Over an Aerolite,

The Minnesota State University has
been defeated in its replevin suit to re-
cover possession of the celebrated aerolite
that fell on Goddard's property, near
Forest City, Iowa, recently. The de-
fendant has appealed to the Supreme
Court of the State. Goddard is the owner
of the property on which the aerolite
fell. His tenant, who occupied the land,
sold the acrolite to III. V. Winchell, as
the University's representative, and it
had been delivered when Goddard re-
plevined it. The broad and interesting
question of the right of the tenant and
owner was, therefore, involved, and the
still more interesting conundrum as to
the ownership of heavenly body that
falls on mundane property. The price
of the original seventy pounds of rock
of which the aerolite consisted was
81, 900. = New York Star.

unexpected.
A traveller found himself at nightfall
before the door of rude cabin OF slabs
and logs. Over the door on piece OF
pine board were the words, "Lodgin
for Man and Best" 1t was chilly and
raining, and the traveller was still ten
miles from his destination. He dis.
mounted, therefore, and entered the
cabin, while boy led his horse to an
old stable near by.
The hostelry had but two rooms, one
in the rear OF the other. This rear
room was the guest chamber, and into
It the traveller was ushered without O
light soon after he had eaten his supper
of "soddy biscuits" and salt pork.
He groped his way to bed or bunk
In the corner. Then, after partially
disrobing, he closed the door, and tired
with his journey was soon fast asleep.
Early In the morning he awakened
with start, to find the hostess stand
ing IN the middle Of the room with q
big tin pan in her hands. while she
called out with peculiar, clucking
sound, "Cbicky chicky chicky
She had thrown the outer door open,
and in rushed great flock of chickens,
with dozen or more waddling, squawk-
ing ducks and geese.
She scattered the painful of corn all
around the foorless room, while the
fowls scrambled and fought for 1t. See
ing that her guest was looking on in
open-eyed amazement, she said:
Don't let us disturb ye, mister. I
allus have to feed my chickens in here
to keep the peegs from eating up the
corn. I'll shoe them out in a few min
utes, and you can lay as long as you
please"

Doctoring at the Drug Stores.

"There is new way of doctoring in
the city," write a pharmaceutist. 81
don't mean that there are new remedies
and treatments. There are young doctors
whose business is not such as warrants an
Office, and they go about like doctors in
the olden times, from pillar to post.
Take it in this store, for example. know
of four young doctors who come in here
at different hours and meet patients.
Then the doctors go from here to other
drug stores, so that by the time the day
is over they have travelled a good many
miles. The patients they see do not pay
much, individually; they can't afford, it.
But they are sick and must be healed,
and they are not the sort of people who
go to hospitals. 1t is good thing for
the sick who can't afford to have doctors
come to the house; it is good thing for
young doctors who are not able to pay
office rent, and it is good thing for the
drug stores, for they almost invariably
get to sell the medicines that are pre-
scribed. " New York Mercury.

The grandest sycamore tree in New
England, perhaps, is at Newton, in Con-
necticut. 1t is S5 feet high, 81 feet in
circumference, and the crown casts a
shade 100 feet in diameter. The foliage
is so dense it is impossible to discern q
ray of light falling through it, and twi-
light reigns all the summer beneath it..
The leaves are five inches long, about
four inches wide, and are of beautiful
glossy hue. When the wind rustles the
leaves the sound they make is like that
of falling rain. The blossoms are large
and like silk floss, and, falling, cover the
ground inches deep with an elastic robe
that is like a wonderful snow-white
silken carpet. The giant tree is land
mark in all the region, and is visible to
a person on the hilltops miles away, a
vast dark pillar overtopping all other
trees. New York Sun.

Filial Piety.

A remarkable manifestion of filial piety
is displayed in the most recent issue of
the Imperial Pekin Gazette, which con-
tains a letter from the governor of
Chinese Turkestan, in which he tenders
his resignation of his office, not on the
ground of any disagreement with head
quarters, or failure in administration,
but solely because he is anxious to stay
at home and devote his entire time to
nursing his aged grandmother. This,
however, is more than matched by the
emperor of Japan, who has just caused
six of the leading journalists of his
capital to be sentenced to terms of i'm
prisonment ranging from two to four
years for having maligned his ancestor,
the Emperor Iimmu, who reigned some
600 years before the birth of Christ.

A Broken Neck Mended,

Physicians connected with the Presby-
terian Hospital, New York, are highly
elated over the fact Of their having sue
cessfully mended broken neck. The
patient, Harry Reigel, aged fourteen
years, fell from an elevator, landing on
his head and dislocating his neck, on
May 8. When brought to the hospital
the case was considered hopeless, but by
experiments with extending weights at
tached to the patients head and feet the
neck was evidently set and kept in place
by means of a plaster of Paris jacket.
The displaced bones are now set, and the
patient has full power of the neck

We've heard of a woman
who said she'd walk five miles
to get a bottle of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription if she
couldn't get it without. That
woman had tried it. And it's
a medicine which makes itself
felt in toning up the system
and correcting irregularities as
soon as its use is begun.
Go to your drug store, pay
a dollar, get a bottle and try
it-try a second, a third if
necessary. Before the third
ones been taken you'll know
that there's a remedy to help
you. Then you'll keep on
and a cure II come.
But if you shouldn't feel the
help, should be disappointed
in the results YOU'LL find a
guarantee printed on the bot
wrapper that'll get your
money back for you.
How many women are there
who'd rather have the money
than health? And "Favorite
Prescription" produces health.
Wonder is that there's a
woman willing to suffer when
there's a guaranteed remedy
in the nearest drug store
