How the Business of Producing Things
to Eat Has Grown in a Few Years.
The influence of the provision
trade on the development of the
countries of production does not con
Germ us directly, but in considering
the subject as a whole some allusion
must be made to it. The prepare
ZION Of food for expectation has been
a source of prosperity wherever it
has been able to establish itself, but
among the many regions that haye
made money by it the United States
have profited the most. They were
first to begin, OF a large scale at
Least, and they have gone on until
they may be said to be growing
everything. Though the larger part
of their products is already required
for home use, their shipments else
where have become q business of
great gain to them, and have aided
largely jim the opening of new terri
tories, but let it be remembered that,
unlike lie, they live exclusively on
what they raise. and only send away
their surplus.
The canning trade of the west has
been carried to it's actual success, not
by expectation, but by home con-
sumption. Of the LOO, 900 tins of
frAi5 prepared in California in 1890
only Ia, 700 are shown to have been
shipped abroad from Californian
ports. All the rest event east and
though we must allow largely for
expectations from Chicago, which
has become a great distributing cen
ter, it is beyond doubt that the
greater portion of the rest was used
for native wants. Fp the matter Of
fruit the yield can hardly keep up
with the home demand, although its
increase is SO rapid that the quaint
ties of many sorts Of both timed
and dried fruits are doubling FROM
year to year. And so it is in many
other trades. The pack of timed
salmon on the Pacific coast affords
almost the sole example of overpro-
duction. It reaches to about 1,6OO,-
600 cases, of which British Columbia
furnishes 400, 900 and the United
States 200, 900. The market cannot
absorb all this, and the make will
have to be cut doWa.
The provision trade Of Chicago
now attains an annual income OF
$2S. 000, 600, although meat canning

bridal party had rot yet arrived, but was
momentarily expected, when a small boy
put in an appearance and gazed long and

"Rails-rails for whats" asked the usher,

lowed a stiffness SO dense you could have

Emect on thc Liver I'D CxcIing.

self out in the liver from the lower side.
In other words, the effect of cycling upon
the liver is the same as chat of flooding a
still and stagnant lake with innumerable
mountain streams after heavy rainfall.
The whole of the water in the lake is VIC
lently moved, and the outflow ut it's lower
extremity is increased tenfold.
1t is precisely this flooding effect which
is produced upon the liver by the rushing
currents of blood from the legs as Che re-
suits Of their energetic activity in pedaling
the bicycle or tricycle.. The stagnant lake
in the organ is moved in every part, all its
minutest ranifying vessels are washed
out, its bile secreting cells are stimulated
by fresh blood, and the work which liver
pill usually takes ten to twelve hours to
perform is performed in less than one hour
and with much more thoroughness and
naturalness.
Not that the immediate effect of cycling
is to rouse the bowels into activity, but the
constipation and liver torpidity are gradu-
ally overcome by an increase of normal
physiological activity, and the cure re-
mains permanent so long us the exercise is
persevered with.-Hospital.

War Among Frogs.

Many of the citizens of Vermont will re-
member to have seen on one dollar bills of
the Windham County State bank vignette
representing frogs fighting. This was en-
graved to commemorate what is known us
the Battle of Bullfrcgs
Many years ago, when the town of Wind
ham was newly settled, there was very
dry season. There are two large ponds in
Windham, separated by a considerable
strip of land. Each of these ponds was in
habited by large number of frogs
The smaller pond dried up, and it's in
habitants started in a body for the lower
and larger pond. They were met in the
intervening space by a party from the
larger pond, and fierce and long contin-
ue1 battle ensued between the rival com
munities
The hideous clamor of the frogs during
this encounter attracted the attention of
several farmers, who witnessed the strange
spectacle of bullfrogs engaged in fierce
and deadly battle. The contest lasted
twelve hours, and nearly all the inhab-
tants of the little town witnessed it, The
war is now one of the traditions of the
place. Youths Companion.

No one likes to suffer personal assault

case is exciting great interest as evidence
