Dried Fruit WeighfA

The reason for the variation in the
weight of dried fruits when packed in
large or small pa ckages is the subject
Of an article in the London Grocer.
Currants, being semi-dried, gain some
what in w weight when in bulk, but
when packed in small cartons the ten
dency is for them to lose weight. Sui
tana raisins are cured in boiling oil and
gain weight when in small packages.
Valencia raisins are cured by being
dipped into lye and diminish in weight
both in large and small packages. OF
course the apartment where the fruits
are kept has something to do with it,
and the paper constituting the wrap
per may gain in weight, one grocer at
the seaside reporting that his pound"
packages weighed seventeen ounces.

Paine's celery compound is the very
utmost the medical research of today
can do for the exhausted. badly-nour-
ished nerves and thin, impure blood. 1t
goes straight to the causes Of the mis-
chief in the many forms OF disease re-
sulting from nervous debility and in
sufficient or vitiated blood. A thousand
painful symptoms arise from these two
prime causes. Correct the nerves and

USEFUL ALLl0ATORS.

The bayous Of Louisiana were form
erly the homes Of alligators without
number. They did no particular harm,
except by catching stray pig or dog
now and then; nor were they known
to be OF any particular use. The peo-
pie. fer the most part, let them alone
Then there sprang up at the north a
demand for alligator skins for tho
making Of satc.,eis, pocketbooks and
the like, and che natural result fol-
lowed. The alligators were killed in
great numbers, till presently they were
almost destroyed.
No harm was done, people thought;
but BY and by 1t began to be noticed
that certain mischievous quadrupeds
were multiplying In the rice fields,
according to Louisiana exchange, the
muskr1ts increased in such numbers
that it became hard work to keep up
the back levees, which had been built to
keep the water ON the rice during the
growing season. What perhaps was
more serious, the same burrowing ro-
dents infested the front levees, and
nothing but constant watchfulness
averted disastrous consequences.
Then market gardeners began to
complain of an alarming iocrease in
the number Of rabbits, raceoons and
other animals which preyed upon the
caulifower, cabbage, lettuce and SINH
lar vegetAb les- Some of the gardeners
were compelled to inclose their gar
ceus with close wire fences, or else
abandon the cultivation of some OF
their most profitable crops
The allieators had not been useless,
and the people hai learned anew that
It is dangerous to 20 too fast and too
far in disturbing the order OF nature

AsToN,sHED INDIANS.

eenethinx Of . Freak of Nature.
Twenty years ago the Indians in
Colorado knew but little Of the white
man, and nothing hardly OF his ways
Or habits except from tradition.
Among the people who went to settle
in Colorado at that time, says
Golden Days, was . man with very red
hair. He and his party were thrown
among the Indians, who thought at
first that his hair was painted. just as
they painted their own bodies and
faces
An old chief came up to him one day
and looked at his hair very carefully.
''Ughr said he.
And then, turning to the interpreter
who had the party in charge, he
wanted him to ask the man where he
got the kind of paint that would color,
and yet not be greasy or look dauby.
he was told that the mans hair was
not painted, but he would not
believe il. Ee once more walked
up to the man and scrutiuized
his locks, running his hand through
them and looking at his fingers.
Tho red-haired man became little
nervous. and half fancied that the chief
was calculating how nice a red scalp
would look hung to his belt. The in
terpreter. however, laughingly told the
man what the chief had said.
Two or three more of the Indians
then gathered around the party, and
they and the interpreter had pow
WOW. Finally the interpreter asked
the man if he would object to putting
water on his hair.
He saw that the Indians would not
believe but that it was painted, until
they saw that the water would not
wash the color out. The man took
some water, rubbed it on his hair and
then showed his hands to them. But
it took four or FIVE days of wondering
examination to convince them that he
had not found some peculiar paint, and
got himself up in bright red suit OF
hair.

Those who never read the advertise
mepts in their newspapers miss more than
they presume. Jonathan Kenisou, of
Boan, Worth county. Iowa, who had been
troubled with rheumatism in his back,
arms and shoulders read an item in his
paper about how prominent German clti-
zen of Fl. Madison had been cured. He
procured the same medicine, and to use
his own words: 1T cured me right up"
He also says: "a neighbor and his wife
were both sick in bed with rheumatism.
Their boy was over to my house and said
they were so bad he had TO do the cooking.
l told him of Cham berlain's Pain Balm
and how it had cured me, he got bottle
and it cured them up in week. so cent

A Long Rope.

An Irishman who served on board Q
man-of-war was selected by one of the
officers to haul in tow line of consid.
cradle length that was towing over
the taffrail. After pulling in forty or
fifty fathoms. which had put his pa
tience severely to proof, as well as
every muscle of his arms, he muttered
to himself: ''Surely it's as long as to-
day and tomorrow! It's a good weeks
work for any five in the ship. Bad luck
to the leg or the I'm it'll leave at last.
What! more of it yet? Och, murder!
the says mighty deep, to be sure!"
After continuing in similar strain,
and conceiving there was little proba-
bilfty of the completion of his labor,
he suddenly stopped short, and, adj
dressing the officer on watch, ex-
claimed: bad manners to me, sir, il
don't think somebody's cut off the
other end of it!'

CHINESE PUNISHMENTS.
4 Horrible Phase OF Justice Among tho

In December, 1891, I was in Canton.
One afternoon 1 visited the principal
law court. Two prisoners in chains
were introduced-one an old man, too
infrm to walk, the other youth, toll
erably vigorous, but abject and forlorn
in demeanor. The presiding mandarin
appeared, sat down and slipped his tea,
while an official battered out long

for the prisoners proceeded, as 1 un-
derstood, to plead mot guilty" What
followed, says a writer in the Specta-
tor, was this: The old man was held
up-not held down-while two stolid
Cinnamon logged him with long,
plant canes above the knees. The
youth was Invested of his chains,
which were then pileJ up in front of
him. Upon these he was compelled to
kneel, while his feet, hands and pig
tail were all attached by cord to
post behind him and tightly secured.
The cries of the victims and the COM
p1ete composure Of the spectators were
alike disgusting. / said as much to
my guide, whom generally regarded
as an amiable being. His reply was:

this BEFORE" though 1 have no doubt
he had. The explanation of the dread
full scene-eXcuse there could be none
was that, by the law of China, no man
can be executed until he has confessed
his guilt. These two individuals had
been convicted beyond doubt of helm
ous crimes, but they refused to confess.
The alternative before them was exc
cution or death by torture, and appar-
entity they preferred the latter The
ceremony 1 witnessed was to be re-
peated de die in diem until either life
or resolution gave way. How the end
came, of course, 1 never knew.
