about the family until certain incidents
occurred. One day his wife was fatally
injured in n railroad collision at point
fifty miles from home. When he reached
her, in response to telegram sent by
a stranger. he found she had been re-
moved to "a hotel, and was being ten
.dcrly cared for by woman who gave
her name as Mrs. A. i, Gray, of Phila-
.delphia. She was on the train, but suf-
fered no injury.
Mrs. Gray, as might as well tell you
now, was petite, good looking, good
tallSer, and, in general way, captivat-
ing. The fact of taking charge of Mrs
Mitchell as she had done proved her
tender heart. She told Mr.. Mitchell she
had been n widow eighteen months,
and was practically alone in the world.
and, though he was burdened with grief
and anxiety, he did not forget to thank
her for her great kindness and TO take
her address. He would have offered
her money for her services. but he saw
that she was lady and would feel hurt
by any such action. She resumed her
journey, and he took his wife home to
die of her injuries. 1t was three weeks
after her death that | came into the
case. After everything was over the
husband suddenly discovered that his
dead wife's jewelry was missing. She
had with her, when the accident took
place. about n thousand dollars worth
of diamonds. They had disappeared,
and when he came to run over events
in his mind he could not remember that
they had come home with her. Mrs.
Gray had turned over to him Mrs.
Mitchells purse and few other things,
but pair of diamond ear drops, two
rings and pin were missing.
was employed TO proceed to the
scene of the late accident and seek to
trace the jewelry. The collision had
occurred right at the depot in u small
town. People about the depot and at
the hotel assured me that Mrs. Mitch
ell had her jewelry on when taken to
the hotel. The landlords wife was
positive, and the doctor who was called
in was positive, and when had worked
the case out returned home to report
To Mitchell that nobody but Mrs Gray
could have taken the jewelry. He was
astonished and indignant, and not only
vigorously repudiated the implication,

EUROPE, with an area but little diff ferent from that of the United States, has three million men under arms. And yet there are men and newspapers who are muttering and grumbling because the United States is paying pensions to one-eighth as many veterans as Europe has soldiers, and expends one-tenth as much in behalf of them who saved the union and overthrow the mightiest rebellion that was ever conquered as Europe does to maintain it's standing armies. The services rendered by the soldiers of the union and the hardships they endured, brought lasting peace. A quarter of century of prosperity has followed, and the outlook for future tranquility and prosperity is bright. In viow of this the nation can afford to be generous toward it's defenders, and public sentiment will frown upon the penurious winners who seek to belittle the services of the boys in blue, and who begrudge the money paid to those who suffer from disease and wounds incurred from 1861 to 1865.

PACKING FRUIT.

A Michigan Fruit Grower Points Out
 Some Common Mistakes in Doing This.
 In paper read before the West Michi- gan Fruit Growers association attention was called to the mistake made in pack ing apples in the flour size of barrel
 The essayist had made it a point to learn, as nearly as possible, the difference in price between full standard barrel and the 'snide" in Chicago last season. He says: "l found the range of prices for the season to be Sl,25 to S3.50 per barrel, and by inquiring at different times and of D number of dealers l found that the amount of difference in fruit amounted to little less than half a bushel, and the difference in the selling price was from 30 to 75 cents per barrel, or an average of GO cents per barrel after pay ing slightly increased cost on the bar rel. Or, in short, the grower received Sl.20 per bushel for all the extra apples required to pack full standard barrels And, further, it is the large barrel that sells promptly, while the small barrel often suffers loss, in the case of glut, Ul rOIlllB uOWu. lill5 uldhe5 tue uluer- ence still larger. The shippers in the city are the largest and best buyers, and they always want a large barrel with ten hoops, and are willing to pay for it.
 "The same rule applies to the whole line of small fruits. As the case in com mon use is supposed to hold l6 quarts, but in reality holds only n to l4I quarts, we frequently hear men state that they do not represent them as quarts but only as sixteen boxes. Such statements are unworthy and suspicious The package manufacturers arc largely to blame, as they are constantly making changes in the form of packages, and one idea seems to run through all the work, and that is to make them little scant measure. The majority of our farmers seem to think that barrel is a barrel, even if it is not more than two-thirds grown, and the same idea prevails in regard to a quart box. It pays to be honest in fruit growing and packing, for the slightest trickeTy is detected instantly by the shrewd buyer, and he promptly knocks off enough from tho price toprotect him self; the grower has to stand it"

WHY AMERICA Is PROSPEROUS,

American farmers have sent S7, ,GQ0, GOO bushels of wheat to Europe within two months past. This means that about sS5,000,000 will have to come to the United States to pay for only s part of two months harvest of our soil. It is difficult in imagination to present an adequate picture of the richness of this years entire harvest, nor can the wealth to be brought in the next year to these shores be fully realized by any mere figures, though estimates of it are com mon enough.
 To say that the balance of foreign trade is now in favor of this country at the rate of nearly S2,000,00O for each working day, or s600, 100000 a year, probably presents less striking fact to the fancy of most people than the state ment that. solid trains of grain.laden freight cars, tuenty;6e miles long, ar. rived Tn Duluth, Minneapolis and Chi cago within the space of twenty-iour hours last week
 The western railroads are having only one trouble at present. They cannot provide cars enough to send the harvest of 1891 to the seaboard forsshipment to Europe. Grain elevators in all the northwestern states are now jammed with wheat and corn, and some of them cannot be emptied before next summer, although Europe is dependent upon their store for bread. About 1000, 900 bushels of wheat per day are now being brought by the railroads to New York, and the steamship and sailing vessel agents are as unable to cope with the enormous product of our soil as the railroads.
 One hundred and iorty-nine steamers have actually been chartered to load grain alone at Atlantic ports since No- vember 1. Prior to November l l,l63 steamers had been chartered. Ocean freights have advanced as a consequence from five cents per bushel for Liverpool and Glasgow on August to fourteen cents per bushel last week.
 This extraordinary increase in price of ocean freights, and the fact that charters are now made up to June, 1892, both indicate the prospective prosperity of the United States compared with which every other nation on the planet Is this year poor indeed.

Chrysan them ms.

Either for using in the greenhouse or conservatory up to and after Christmas time, or for cutting, the late towering chrysanthemums are of great value. These late kinds furnish us with large quantity of flowers of medium size un- der ordinary cultivation. It is not a good plan to aim ut obtaining the flow CTS of abnormal size, as if this is done the chances are that some will come fas- ciated or deformed, besides which three or four smaller flowers are infinitely bet ter than one of extra size as far as utili- ty is concerned. An important point in the culture of late chrysanthemums is that of commencing to feed them far too early in the autumn; strong growth is thereby made, which will at times fail to set any buds at all; those buds also which may be thought safe will turn blind or fail to grow as they should do. But little loss will be sustained Gf any) by deferring the application of manurial stimulants until the plants are housed. This work need not be done quite so soon as in the case of the main crop, there be- ing no buds susceptible of injury by slight frosts. It is not well to risk the plants out too far into October.
Arizona republican., 1891-12-01

The decorative value of chrysanthe- nuns cut with long stems and loosely arranged in vases has created demand for varieties specially suited to this pur- pose. According to Garden and Forest the flowers should not be too large, and should excel in breadth. They should have abundant foliage, so that no other contrast to the flower is needed than a good background. In the illustration is shown vase of the flowers of the Chrys- anthemum Ada Spaulding, which has gained a high rank among the newer kinds of this type. The plants have vigorous habit, the flowers ara massive, well imbricated and usually colored in pleasing way The illustration, how ever, is not meant to display the special qualities of this variety, but to indicate one of the best ways in which chrysan- themums can be employed for indoor decoration.
