Moisture is the agency which destroys

For failure to do so may pillow your

Funerals in the French Capital.

Asa rule official funerals strike the
inhabitants Of this fair city with the
same CHEEKY enthusiasm as is inspired
in an American town by the announce
ment that Barnum's circus is going to
parade the streets. There is always Il
certain constraint in Anglo-Saxon conn
tries at the sight Of a funeral, for Anglo
Saxons have a horror and fear Of death
which Is nonexistent in the French char
acter. The Parisians have no special re-
spect fornor any marked dread of the
king of terrors. If Il Partisan is bored
or i'll or in trouble or IS overbarlcned by
financial troubles he is very apt TO solve
the problem of life by committing sui
eide, and so getting out Of it all with
perfect philosophy and serene inditfer
ence. Life in Paris runs much more
smoothly from the fact that no one rs E
rule lives to be madly unhappy. The
Parisians cease to live when they ceast
to enjoy.-Paris Cor. Philadelphia Tele

It will be noted that in 1890, the shipment
Of berries fell of, which was occasioned by
the weather forcing the shipments Of Mary
land Virginia, Delaware aud New Jersey at
once. The reins destroyed great portion Of
the crop.
It must be plain however, than in no year
was there an absolute failure Of the berry
crop while there was no peach crop in 1890
and some other years.
The shipments Of asparagus aud grapes
cannot be given here as there has been 10
separate record of these kept By the com.
pauy. But the growing Of grapes has been
every year since the introduction
Of tile spraying outfits for the purpose ofde-
stroyiug insects, and in years where there
has not been large crop ofother fruits have
paid handsomely.
The season Of 1891 commenced with an
extraordinarily large crop Of cherries fol
lowed BY large berry cYop reduced the
prices Of our grapes very 81 tiHsIy and very
liiue money was obtained from this crop.
The early apples and pears have invariably
paid the growers handsomely in years when
there has not been heavy peich crop; there
is no doubt from Information obtained from
notable growers, that in a series Of fye sea
sons past, there has been more clear money
returned per acre to our growers from these
two fruits Than from peaches. In the item
Of berries there is no comparison with
peaches, the berries in nearly every season
paving more to the entire Peninsula than
peaches Another point the labor Of pick.
ine and handling small fruits being per
formed almost entirely by women and chill
dren, the money is more evenly distributed.
The object Of this article Is to show BY sta
tistics not argument, that we went above the
limit in producing peaches, and that IT would
be well for us to diversity our prodaets more
aud thus avoid the glnl iu our markets
There is Of course no doubt that we eau AZ
ways retain tie nearest markets, that is Phil

The Snap Convention Method People
Given just Rebuke at the Hands
of Democrats.

The news from Memphis is TO the
effect that the snap convention peo.
Pile were beaten in the fight in that
city yesterday.
Shelby county sends to the guber-
Material convention delegation un.
instructed and the fight is conceded
squarely to the administration OPP
ponents.
Lucas Clapp is chairman of the
delegation but there is no collar
around the necks of the delegates.
The following from special sent
from Memphis to the American
shows how the result is regarded
there:
zone thing that the convention
has developed is Buchanan's inherent
weakness. With all the machinery
in the hands OF his heelers, and those
heelers using that machinery to take
snap judgment, yet, in few hours,
the Governors opponents succeeded
in arraying an opposition that gave
him very black eye. The efforts Of
the Buchanan men to prevent the
reading of the minority report on
the frauds in the Seventh Ward were
almost piteous in their earnestness
That report was loaded with dyna
mite, and Buchanan men knew it
They knew that with the reading o.
that report no decent man in the con
vention could be asked to indorst
such methods, and therefore theil
utter route was im minent. This il
why they regged that it be suppress
ed, and made the best terms they
could with the ants. So ends the
first battle in this gubernatoriaI cam
paign, with the advantage clearly
with Buchanan's opponents"
