 There is one industry-small in itself, but promising much for the future-to which l desire to call the especial attention of the women of our town. It is the mak- ing of The most delicious pickle by one of our most deserving women, Mrs. W. Nj. Duncan, Thirteenth avenue, between Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets, South Highlands. These pickles have been tested by some of the best house. keepers, and by every one pronounced un- equaied. This pickle is cucumber mango, the filling composed of fruits and Bp1C6S, LQ0 CniOI InBr6uleub DeluS lcLAOhs They keep well and are moderate in price. All the materials used are of the best quail ity, and cannot describe them better than to tell the praise bestowed upon them by man, who remarked that "they tasted like those made by his mother.'' As this man intended he covered the ground, for as we women all know men find very few things which we can make that bear any resenl- blance to those made by their mothers in the long ago. And this is as It should be,
 
 the same sweet things of our deeds. Mrs. Duncan's pickles will be on exhibition at the club rooms Tuesday morning, aud they will be for sale ct the best grocers. So, do try them.
