 Yesterday l received the following letter from one of my many admirers in Washington:
 ] VANCOUVER, Wash, Oct. 1. Mir. Bill Nye, New York;
 DEAR SIR-Can you tell me where can get good wifc2 Am a poor man with good pros pccts have set out 5 l-5 acres of land in this 1 (Clarse) county in prunes, which will bear in | four years. don't know much about farm ing, SO l would like to get good strong woman who understands the theory and practice of prune growing.
 If you will help me I will buy one of your books. Write soon. Yours,
 ROGER DAGGErr. Here is a man who is in earnest, and should any bright eyed single person, who knows the habits of prunes and letter, let her write to me inclosing photograph, and after few months cor respondence l can tell whether she would be a suitable wife for him or not.
 Prune growing in Oregon and Wash ingtOn has grown to be immensely prof itable, and as there are so many two dollar per day hotels in the United States with fruit on the bill of fare, which is dried prune sauce the year around, the prune crop has, as l may say, grown to be terrific item. Prune pies also, when inclosing the seeds of the prune, are becoming popular at many boarding houses, especially at mountain health resorts. This pie is also, when vitrifed, taking the place of the Belgian block in street paving-resisting wear, frost and sudden changes of temperature better than the latter.
 Fill the pie full of prune juice mixed to the consistency of umbrella sap, add ing seeds of the prune and peelings of same sufficient to sustain the great weight of the top crust of the pie. Now make a small opening in top of the pie so that the lava can oOze out over sur face while pie is being kiln dried, and you have a glazed top and bottom to it which, if decorated with metallic Colors in bright designs before baking, be- comes highly ornamental when framed or used as tiles in mantels or ceilings. A prime pie glazed with maroon juice and with embossed porcelain figures.in same, representing the discovery of America by Columbus and framed in fried cakes, was very attractive feature at the "expo" here, celebrating the tooth anniversary of the first at tempt to pave Patton avenue.
 A good wife, Mir. Daggett, is not hard to get, judge, after reading a few ad- vertisements of same to be found in a ! Chicago matrimonial paper sent to me in a sealed envelope a few days ago, from which l copy:
 No. 2IO,9Ol-Petite blond, only seventeen years of age, good musician and good cook well educated; would make some man good wife Win inherit SiS,OO0, but would not ob iect to farm life.
 Here is a very desirable wife for q prunc farmer. With such q wife, $4s, ,000 and q pruuc farm of 3 10 acres under cultivation, one certainly ought to be free from care. Love, l think-true love, earnest, honest love-with prunes, &l9,O0O and salt rising bread three times day, cannot be overestimated.
 Hera is another:
 No. 3@l5, North Dakota--I know my ideal is waiting for ne somewhere. Should this meet his eye l hope he will write. am widow of forty-cght, ] feet inches, I3G pounds; brown hair, sprinkled with gray; blue eyes, good look ing, tasty ia dress, and now taking lessons on the mClodeon.
 Here is a good chance for a prune farmer who never knew a mothers love and care to acquire wife and parental love at the same time. This ad. is genuine, and leads one to ask why a woman who should be looking around for landscape gardener to decorate her
