PLENTY OF APPLE JACK.

The Dismantled DistiIleries of Berks Coun-
ty Will Be Set Going.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
READING, Pa, Aug. s.-Farmers through
out Eastern Pennsylvania are congratulate
ing themselves on the fine prospects for ap-
ple-jack this year. The apple crop promises
to be tremendous in the coming fall, and &C
oordingly it is expected that there will be a
large distillation of apple-jack, which is an
exceedingly profitable product hereabouts
in good apple years. Last year no apple
jack at all was made in the Schuylkill Val
ley, and the delightful liquid is consequent
ly quite scarce. 1t is now quoted at 50 50
per gallon, whereas the price usually ranges
from 81 25 to 81 75
There are seven apple-jack distilleries in
Berks county alone that have not been in
use for several seasons. The indications are
that these and many new ones will
be put in operation by the close of next
month. Distillers of apple jack are required
by law to pay an internal revenue tax of 80
cents per gallon, and to make regular re-
ports Of their production.

THE press is telling of a summer sojourne

THE press is telling of a summer sojourner
who went to country store and asked for
"Jane Welsh Carlyle's Letters" and got the
reply "This amt no postoff1ce!'' This and
kindred stories are intended to illustrate
the ignorance of the country storekeeper
But it is doubtful whether they do not
exhibit an equal ignorance on the part of
the inquirer. The person who expects q
country store to keep full stock of current
literature on hand, such as is only found in
the largest city bookstores, is certainly in
need of better judgment.

THE famine, at least in some portions of
India, is stated to have made itself evident
in a dread and unquestionable way. The
grasses have dried up so that the cattle can
get little food; the crops have failed owing
to the drought; and as the Indian population
has little reserve of wealth the most fearful
sufferings are likely to ensue. The forces of
Christendom will have to be set in motion to
rescue the Indian population from its great
Deril.

the fortunate proprietor is Mrs. Robin.
son. Although she is 70 years of age
she has done all the work in developing G
the property herself, carrying out the
ore and waste upon her back. This she
has been able to do from the fact that
the shaft is on mountain incline and
comparatively easy Of ascent. She has
been doing this steadily for two years,
and appears to have lost none of the
faith with which she started. If any
assay has ever been made of the ore
taken out, it remains secret with the
owner; but the outside world is very
willing to believe, from her evident
faith, that she is bonanza.-Inter-

Closing Down a Mine.

A mining man who came down from
Butte City last night said that it would
be impossible for people here to con-
ceive the blighting effect the closing
down of the Anaconda mine has had on
the business interests of Montana, and
especially on those of the towns of An
aconda and Butte City. 1t has been said
that the cessation of work on the mines
and smelters had thrown 5000 men out
of employment, but that does not begin
to tell the tale. There were that many
men thrown out of employment on the
mines and smelters alone, but there are
are at least 5000 others who are now
idle who depend directly or indirectly
on the working of the mines for their
support. There are railroad men, wood
choppers, charcoal burners, teamsters
and men engaged in several o;ber occu-
pations who have lost an opportunity of
earning livelihood all by reason of the
trouble between the mine and the
Montana Union railroad. Business in
Butte is very dull, merchants are all
complaining and people are leaving the
town discouraged. What will be the
termination of the trouble cannot be
even conjectured, but it has given the
camp blow from which it will take
some time to rally.-Salt Lake Times.

How Three Were Made One.

Cannibal Maid and her Hot.entot Blade
They met In 4 rocky deile;
gray eagle plume was his only costume,
The lady was wrapt in a-smile.
Together they strolled, and his passion he told
In pleading and tremulous tone,
While softly they trod on the blossom strewed
sod,
And spooned in the twilight alone.
Then sweetly she sighed as she shyly replied,
With tender and fairylike mean;
She murmured the word, when the war-whsop
was heard
A rival had burst on the scene.
A savage Zulu to the trysting place drew,
Demanding his Cannibal bride
But the Hottentot said, with toss of his head,
'Tll have thy degenerate hide"
The Hottentot flew at the savage Zulu,
The Zulu he went for the Blade,
And fercely they Wed In their strength and
their pride,
And fought for the CannibRl Maid
She perched on stone, with shapely shinbons
Clasped tight in her tapering arms,
And watched the blood fly with alove-laden eye
While the warriors fought for her charms.
When fercer they fought, and the ringing
blows caught
With thrust and with parry and punch,
She said, with smile, "In very short while
will have those two fellows for lunch.'
The purple blood flows from the Hottentot's nose
The Zulu is struck by the Blade;.
Then each of them sighed, a gasping-he died,
And looked on the Cannibal Maid
She made nice stew of the savage Zulu,
And scrambled the Hottentot's brains
Twas dainty menu when the cooking WAS
through,
And she dined on her lovers remains.
The savage Zulu and the Hottentot, too,
Both sleep in cannibal tomb;
The three were made one, and the story is done;
The maiden strolled off in the gloom.

To Cur GLASS WITH ScIssoRs.-A st.
Louis paper says that glass may be cut
with scissors as easily as il it were
paper. The secret consists in plunging
the pane of glass into tub of water,
submerging also the hands and the scis-
sors. The scissors will cut in straight
lines without flaw. This result is
achieved in consequence of the absence
OF the vibration. If the least portion of
the scissors is left out of the water, the
vibration will prevent the glass; from
cutting.
