She Had to Wash tho Pets.

& A curious case Of special interest to
elderly spinsters and levers of house pets
is shortly to come before the Berlin
courts A young woman was engaged as
companion to an old lady at stated wages,
but ran away from her place two days
after entering service.
Her mistress procured her arrest under
the law that servant must give due no
tice before leaving her situation, but the
police, after hearing the girls statement,
told the Lady that she could not compel
the girl to return, and could only claim
damages in the civil court.
For the girl stated, and her statements
have been proved true, that on entering
the lady's fat four immense dogs jump
ed at her, although they did not do her
any harm. In the next room another
big dog, with litter of pups, met her
gaze, while the third room was tenanted
by at least three dozen different varieties
of birds.
The kitchen of the old lady was given
over to cats, and the girls sleeping room
was converted into a temporary hospital
for invalid members of the animal world.
''The old lady," said the girl, twas
very kind to me, but as my duties con-
sisted in washing all the dogs daily, and
had to share my bed with half dozen
dogs and cats, was obliged to run away
to avoid sickness. London Telegraph
It is said that the time is not far dis
tant when it will be impossible to tell
whether woman on the street is wear

waiting twenty-five years for that time
to arrive.
Barber: Might ask if you think OF
adopting the early closing movement,

VIII AStOnish the World.

Colorado Ms an agricultural and fruit rails.
ing state has yet to make its reputation with
the outside world. A great many people
never stop to think of it except rs mining
stnte; and yet the cold, hard facts and figures
show that agriculture, equally with her
mines, form Il leading resource of this great
state.
And yet agriculture Is now but in its in.
fancy. So to speak. When Colorado has had
the time for expansion and development thnt
has been accorded to other states, she will
make great many of them green with envy.
Irrigation gives water supply, and wnter
in Colorado is unapproachnble. Irrigation
is no longer an experiment. 1t is n fact.
and q fact established to the well being of
the state. The wonderful arteries of
irrigation are stretching over the common.

their wake. Irrigation, less capricious and

R...,n cu,.ur. In er..a valley.

1t is stated that 3l2 900 tons of raisins
were produced in the world in 1890. This
would make six hundred and twenty four
million pounds, an enormous amount. when
one stops moment to consider it. Say that
vine on an average yields ten pou n,ls, this
gives us 6l 100000 vines producing grapes
tor raisins. Assuming 500 vines to the ucre
it makes the average 122, 2,2s0. into raisin
grapes alone. and it is safe to assert that wine
aud table grapes would run the average up
to at lenst 500, 900 acres devoted to vineyards
in the world. Greece and Smyrna yield the
lions share Of raisins; the one produces 1885,
020 tons AID the other l2O, 900, twothirds the
whole amount. California is reported az
producing only 10000 tons, but this will be
increased year by year as more attention is
beng paid to rai>in culture, though not
lessening the area given to wine and table
grapes. 1t will he seen from this what an
