Fruit Machinery.

When we consider the vast difference
between the price of labor in American
gardens and orchards, and the low prices
paid in the Old World, it is matter OF
surprise to foreigners that we can COM
pete 80 successfully with them in their
markets. They attribute it to our fine
climate and good soil, yet there are not
wanting some intelligent fruit cultivators
who believe that these conditions are
just the reverse, that America has prob
ably the worst climate in the world for
the successful growth of fruits, and that
it is simply American genius which over
comes these difficulties, and thus gives
them the command of the worlds mark
cts. But it is in the far West, and espe-
cially along the Pacific Slope, where
thousands of acres are devoted to fruit
culture, and the fruit industries are
among the most profitable of the State
revenues, that this adaptation of art to
overcome nature is more apparent per
haps than in the Eastern States. For in
stance, in the matter OF the almond,
our readers may not generally know that
the almond is really the parent of the
peach; the peach is simply an almond,
which has learned to develop succulent
flesh over the stone; an almond is simply
peach with dry shell over it instead
of the heshy coating which vers the
peach. When ripe it splits open just as
the bur of chestnut would do, in order
to allow the stone to escape. In the old
world these almonds are shelled by hand
women and children are employed at al
most nominal wages for the work, but in
California where they have learned to
raise almonds that they can sell even
more cheaply than the Old World people
can sell theirs, they have invented a
machine by which the nuts are shelled.
These almonds pass between rollers,
which have cog-like surface; the sepa-
rate cogs held in place by springs so adj
justed as to allow the passage of the nut
under sufficient pressure not sufficient
to crack the shell; following, the nuts
are then separated from the loose frag-
ments OF hulls by tanning arrangement.
The machine is worked by either horse
or mule power. The only surprise is
that such inventive genius is not devel-
oped in the Old World. The general
impression is that the superior habits OF
observation engendered by our system
of public school education have great
deal to do with the cultivation of these
inventive faculties Meehan's Monthly,

He Wants But Little Here Below,
But Wants That Little
Strong.
Of Him 1t Is Applicable, where
Ignorance Is Bliss 'Twere Folly
To Be Wise"
HAPPlEST PEOPLE ON EARTH

The mountaineer with his covered
wagon laden with apples and cabbage is
beginning to wend his way to our town,
says the Toccoa, Ga, News. He and his
conveyance make picturesque sight,
but of this fact he is as ignorant as he is
of the ways of fashionable society. Up
among the spurs of the Blue Ridge,
where the atmosphere is pure and brac-
ing, where cool, clear springs burst bold
ly from the craggy hillsides and rush
gleefully seward, and where nature pre-
sents some of her most charming phases
the mountaineer has built an unpreten-
tious house. Though perhaps not fully
appreciative of his surroundings, heloves
the mountain and his humble and peace
full mode of life. An ancient philosopher
has said 'that man approaches nearest
to perfect happiness who has fewest
wants." Measured by this rule, the
mountaineer is quite happy individual
He desires no better house or furniture
and no finer clothing than he possesses
His little farm furnishes him an abund-
ance OF corn for bread and for "moun-
tain dew" rye, wheat, cabbage, etc,
while chickens innumerable swarm
around his cabin and rosy-rheeked apples
hang in profusion from the orchard
trees. lie is not ambitious and he pines
neither for we-lth or fame. Tie old
fashioned loom and spinning wheel are
still in use in lis household and furnish
most Of the cloth used by the family.
He needs little money to pay taxes
aud for some other purposes occasionally.
One of the easiest ways, frequently, for
him to obtain cash is TO convert some of
his corn into liquid form. He has no
more computations OF conscience in do
ing this than the housewife in making
jam out of blackberiies. When he does
not resort to moonshining to make
money, at this season of the year he loads
a wagon with cabbage and apples, occa-
sionally putting jug OF mountain dew
or a keg of applejack underneath his
produce. He bitches his slow but sure
oxen to the wagon and starts to the mark
ct, often twenty-five, thirty and even
fifty miles distant Time is not regarded
as money by him, and il he is absent
from home eight OF ten days he cares
not. He carries food for himself and cat
tie and sleeps in the wagon, so his ex-
pense ON the trip is nothing. When his
produce has been disposed of he buys
some salt, little sugar, and that is about
all. II his load brings him s. or $40 he
considers that all clear profit. A little
later in the season he may be expected
to return with chestnuts. Thus for gen.
erations has lived among the grandest
scenery in Georgia the mountaineer, in
this primitive and simple way. Perhaps
it was of such as he of whom the poet
said: "Where ignorance is is bliss 'twere
folly TO be wise" The mountaineer is a
unique character, but he doesn't know

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition OF the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
infiamed. you have a rumbling sound, or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out, and
this tube restored to its normal condition.,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrb)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
