 The following significant note was written by a lady to an editor of an Illi- nois paper, with the request to ask groc- cry merchants to put their vegetables upon higher barrels. The editor prints her note, expressing as it does the de- mand better than he could put it A lady wants to say few words to the grocery merchants and really it is delicate sub ject to handle. You know that it is now time that our grocerymen set their vege- tables outside on the pavement and you know there are so many alldogs in town and it operates as though they drank from Saratoga medical springs. Now, MT Editor, you must know what I want to say and if you will help me out you will do the public great favor. What we want is the vegetables on boxes, or, in other words, above high water mark. For the good of the women and man. kind, the grocers will please attend to it. Those wire screens they use over barrels and baskets are not water tight This is delicate matter, but you know when a lady goes shopping for cabbage and beets, she doesn't like to get peas also. Please put it in shape so as to offend mo- body.-[Groceryman.

Cooperative farming is one of the in- dustrial reforms that seems to be roofing itself in various countries. The Comte de Lariboisiere is proprietor of 80 farms aggregating 4000 acres. In 1880, his ten- ants were nearly all behind with their rents and were throwing up their leases in despair. Thereupon the count pro- posed new arrangement, by which he insured each tenant living, assumed himself all financial obligations and di- vided thelyear's profits with the tenant. He then chose general manager to oversee the l6 farms entering into the ar. rangement. The manager made spec ialty of dairy farming. One farm for merly renting for $454, which the farm CT found himself unable to pay, yielded, last year, profit of $1, ,710, of which the farmer received, in addition to his living, $613; $69 was paid for hired help and the proprietor received $102s.-[Voice.

A remarkably ingenious yet simple ia- vention is an orange peeler by which it is possible to peel the fruit without .soiling the finger or glove and without the loss of drop of juice. The contrivance is like button hook, with a tiny blade let into the inner bend of the hook. When the point of the hook is drawn into the fruit, it slides between the pulp and the peel without danger of entering either. while the blade divides the peel easily and rapidly, after which it may be re- moved without trouble.

It is the angel aim and standard in an act that consecrates it. He who aims for perfectness in trifle is trying to do that trifle holily. The trier wears the halo; 1; and, therefore, the halo grow as quickly round the brows ot peasant as of king. This aspiration for perfect doing, is it not religion practicalized? If we use the name of God at all, is this not Gods presence becoming actor in us s?-[W. c. Gannett.

VICTIM OF AN OUTRAGE.
A Portland Fishing Schooner's Ca
madam Experience,

Boston, Oct. A st. John, N. B., spe-
clal to the Journal says: The American
fishing schooner Hattie Maud of Port
land, Me-, which was seized here few
weeks ago by the Canadian government
cruiser Curlew, has been released by the
authorities. The conditions under which
she was given over to her owners were
that they should pay all expenses con-
nected with her seizure and pay to the
attorneys OF the Canadian government q
good round sum for their trouble in the
case. The seizure in the first place was
an outrage, and was not countenanced by
the majority of the Canadian people.
About year ago the Hattie Maud put
into Shelburne, N. g., for a harbor, and
while there two residents OF that place
who had formerly sailed In the vessel put
The captain OF the Hattie Maud knew
that 10 was contrary to Canadian regula-
tions according to the fishing treaty OF
lS1S) to ship men In Canadian port, and
he explained that to the men who desired
berths with him. They, however, were
anxious to 30 in the vessel, and when she
had got ontside of Shelburne Harbor
they went on board and remained in her.
Nothing was thought OF this proceed
ing by the captain OF the Hattie Maud,
but the customs authorities OF Shelburne
saw violation of the fishery treaty in
tho fact that the men remained in the
vessel, although they were not shipped.
A few days ago when the Hattie Maud
Rlipped anchor In tiagg's Cove Harbor,
Grand Manan, she was boarded by a crew
from the fsning cruiser Curlew and
placed under arrest.
After losing the best of the season, tho
vessel has now been released.
