The scene of the recent prairie fires on

devastation Scattered all over the prairie

Der of places are found blackened and
burned human trunks Nearly dozen of

1t may be gratifying to the Watsheld cor
respondent to learn that County Commits
sioner Johonnott visited our liquor agency
last week, and, in company with f. A.
Bragg, second selectman, who is Good
Templar, examined the books and sur
roundings, and reports that, with few ex-
ceptions, where Mr. Bean had been de-
ceived, everything is all right. The cor
respondent would have the public believe
that Freeman Sweetser got liquor from Mr..
Bean, when the fact is that Mr.. Bean never
saw the man. With regard TO last week 8
item, the Argus said he got his liquor from
man from Lincoln. Now the correspon-
dent points to Fayston as the guilty party.
If the agent has been so bad, why not re-
port him to the grand jury? Bring good
witnesses and that official will take care of
the agent, If he has violated the law in so
many instances, why not confront him by
some reliable witness and not bring him
before a rascal from Duxbury, who is now
reposing in the house of correction? 1t is

Police ON the wheel.

The proposal to mount a part of the
park police ON bicycles is timely though
tardy. Already the worlds armies have
organize dtheir bicycle service, and it
can hardly be contended that this mode
of locomotion is more appropriate there
than in the police service or likely to be
so useful. In the event of the wheels
adoption by the police authority the
public may assume that the men win be
required to sit it properly. They will
not offend the eye by contributing to
the monkey on gridiron exhibition.
In fact, their martial appearance could
be expected to contribute by its example
TO diminish that depressing practice.
It is certain that the seat of the mounted
police has stimulated perception of the
ridiculous in equestrians bobbing from
the saddle like cockney tailors out for a
holiday.
The extension of the use of the wheel
is among the interesting phenomena Of
the day. The French postal service has
adopted it extensively in rural service
Even the stolid Briton has proposed the
reform. In England, however, the mag
nitude of the mail offers some difficult
ties Its growing extension in the COL
onies is marked. The export of bicycles
now cuts respectable figure in board

For the past two weeks we have en-
deavored to inform our readers of the
American book exhibits at the fair. This
week we will visit the very interesting
exhibition of the French publishers.
Nothing more tasteful than this exhibit
can be imagined. 1t has been planned
and executed under the direction oil
Emile Ferquem, of Paris, who has been
on the ground since it opened. The
exhibit will cost the publishers about
10000 francs ($18,000l, about half ei
which is borne by the Paris Publishers
club (Cercle de Ia Librairie de Paris).
France makes the cheapest and most
costly books in the world and has vol
umes on exhibition ranging from 5 cents
to $4,000, the latter an edition of The I'm.
itation of Christ, translated into French
by Lamennaie and executed by the two
miniature artists, +. Moreau and G.
Ledoux. II contains 100 pages, written
on vellum, and the contents are four
principal competitions, q number of
miniatures suggested by the most beau
tiful manuscripts of the middle ages and
the renaissance, and a great variety of
borders. The two artists were engaged
on this work for five years. The original
manuscript is bound in russia leather,
appropriately ornamented. Copies of
this work are printed from type at
5000 each. The exhibitor OF this work,
Leon Giul, the French bookbinder,
has sent also manuscript prayer-books
worth $4,000 each. "a Manuel Historiuue
ct Bibliographioue de PAmateur de
Reliures," whose russia leather cover is
.elaborately ornamented with vines,
flowers and birds is valued at 2OOO
francs; "Livre de Marriage manu-
script of 86 pages, written upon
lvellum by V. Bouton, with flowers for
illustrations painted in water colors,
and the pictures of wedding feast
reproduced on the leather cover, 28OO
francs; an ancient prayer book in
Latin and French. II 900 francs, and 80
on. The box in which Mr.. Cruel sent
his exhibit to the fair was insured for
$4,000 francs ($15,000). Mr.. Cruel does
not restrict himself to bookbinding ex-
clusiveiy. Other specimens of his skill
in. the shape of leather covered canket,
a card-case in renaissance style and q
scissors-case after model in the Cluny
n useum may also be seen in this ex-
hibit, all displayed with the Judgment
and exquisite knowledge that mark the
French department. Nothing is over
crowded, nothing is heavy, and the
specimens of fine book.making, perfect
type, print, every conceivable variety of
processes of illustration seems to have
been put into the exact spot where they
will show to the most advantage. Even

A Profitable Potato Season,

The Irish potato season, which has
just ended, has been the most profitable
one on the eastern shore for years past.
The shipment has been larger, and the
prices have been and are yet the very
top of the market. During the past
three weeks over $500 carloads of pota-
toes have passed over the peninsula.
One days shipments from Cape Charles
alone amounted to between 5000 and
5000 barrels or so carloads. The sweet
potato season will be in full blast in a
few weeks.--Richmond Times.

OUR BEST FRUIT.

Fair.

At the monthly meeting Of the State
Horticultural Society held yesterday,
says the San Francisco Call. President
Lelong gave some interesting infor.
nation respecting the manner in which
California fruit will be shown by the
State Board of Horticulture at the forth.
coming Midwinter Fair Y $50
Mr.. Lelong stated that he had written
to different fruit-growers throughout the
State requesting choice samples for
exhibition. Last week we received 40O
boxes, but out of these scarcely more
than twenty could be used, as the fruit
was badly packed, and had spoiled on
the road."
President Lelong went on to advise
would-be exhibitors to wrap up their
fruit carefully. and place it on layers OF
fine STRAW using small wooden boxes for
packing. 'As the exhibits arrive" he
said, ''they are photographed and pre-
served in glass jars. On the jar is
pasted label giving the name of the
fruit and description OF where it was
grown, also its general characteristics
and its color. However carefully fruit is
preserved it changes color slightly, and
we do not wish to give eastern visitors
the impression that California fruit ia
insipid in tint.
"What we want is an, instructive ex-
hibit and one not merely for show. We
ask especially for choice varieties OF
fruit, properly named, and for small
branches of walnuts and almonds. II
any one is willing to preserve the fruit
in their own orchards, the state board
of horticulture will send jars and ma
terials and pay theshipment both ways.
A number Of the jars in various parts
of the state have already been filled in
the orchards"
Captain Henry Brainard OF San Jose
read paper explaining the entire pro-
cess OF prune drying. This gave rise to
an interesting discussion as to the best
way of drying fruit. The present system
is to dip the fruit in lye, which causes
the skin to crack and enrink, and facili-
tates evaporation. The new process is
to perforate the skin by machine.
Evaporation is little more slow the lat
ter way, but the fruit 80 prepared ap-
pears to give great satisfaction.
1.-THE new process will be operated
enough this year to place 1t beyond the
experimental stage, said Captain Brain
ard.
Prune growers are waiting for the re-
suit with considerable interest.
A letter from the imperial Russian
consolate at San Francisco was read, in
viting Californian fruit growers to send
exhibits to show which the Russian
Society of Fruit Culture will hold in St.
Petersburg insthe autumn of 1894.
Before adjourning the society resolved
to devote the September meeting to a
confederation Of how best to push the
sale of California fruit abroad. The fol-
lowing gentlemen will be invi4ed to de-
liver speeches: A. G. Freeman. N. E..
Salisbury, Y. s. Stsbler; L. w. Buck
on the subject of green fruits and
Colonel Hersey upon dried fruits. The
senior partner of Porter Bros. will be
asked to speak about fruit from mer-
camille view, and the traffic managers of
the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe
railroads to discuss special shipping
rates for the fruit growers.
