MERRY HOP
Young People from Cities Who go Ont to
Work In Hop Fields for n Vacation.

There Is one pleasant feature connected with
the hop picking season In Oneida, OtsegO, and
SchOharie counties, which begins the last Of
August or the first week in September. Many
people, mostly young folks, from the nearby
cities of Troy, Albany, and Schenectady take al
vantage of this season To enjoy a profitable and
pleasant vacation by hiring out as hop pickers
and tenders. They are paid fairly well for the
work they do, and besides receive free board,
with fare which is generally very good.
Hop pickers are paid from twenty-five TO
thirty-fye cents a box for every box of hons

young folks, and pays them something besides,
Every night there Is a dance In the hop house
where the hops are dried, which the pickers
from surrounding hop fields attend. The music
Is usually from a violin and guitar played By

MIR. GRATEBAR's COMMISSION,
And How Il Was Interpreted by His Ia.
terprising Nephew.

Some little time ago." said Mr.. Gratebar, IT
gave my young nephew Clarence a commission
TO examine and report upon the soda water Of
this town; I don't mean TO make an analytical
examination Of IL, but simply 10 go around to
tho different places and try 1t, and see which he
liked best; so that when I wanted any soda
water should know just where 10 go.
"Of Clarence's zeal in this undertaking I had
no doubt; but l find now that I perhaps did
not give sufficient thought to the possible scope
Of the inquiry. l thought that Clarence would
understand this commission TO be one to try the
soda water at all the more familiarly known
places, with ice cream and without, and report:
II seems. however, that Clarence put a much
broader Interpretation upon 1t. He UNDER
stood 1t To he a commission 10 report
on all the soda water in town; and
he began at the Battery and has sinra
been working north. | thought the total
cost would be n matter of five dollars or so, hVt
the bill so far has amounted 10 S74.Gl, and
Clarence has not got up % Fourteenth street.
But he's as enthusiastic as ever over IL, and
he says it's more fun than a goat He wants
10 know now IL don't. want a report on 10
cream. He says he'd like 10 undertake that

AMERICAN GIRLS.

An English girl travelling with
out her mother or old friend may
be safe, but she is looked at q lit
tie askance by we'll bred people,
az I have constantly noticed.
why9 Because it is assumed that
having had the usual English edu-
cation, she is either not fit to take
entire charge of herself, OFT is
too late to matter.
An American girl travelling al
ono is not looked at askance; peo-
pie may not quite know why. but
they recognize the custom of the
country. The truth is, in Ameri-
ca, where education, like most
other things, is ahead of US, girls
are capable of taking care OF
themselves, and they habitually
do 30 take care. In most girls
schools, 30 I am informed, there
are physiological classes held for
the wise and decent instruction of
the girls in the main responsible
ties pertaining to physical life.

New Orleans AS The Capital

TIE ITEM gave the public very
interesting piece of news yester-
day in announcing that an offer of
two squares of ground and $780,
600 in money were made to the
State as an argument in favor of
removing the capital from Baton
Rouge to New Orleans.
The offer was submitted to Sem
ator John @. Flynn of this parish,
and the gentleman making it said
he should have it proceed from or
be endorsed by the commercial Boz
dies that it might have about it all
the representative character that
could be desired.
Senator Flynn assured the gen.
tleman that he should be much
pleased to formally present the
offer in that shape, and he said
that the Legislature was pronoun-
cedly in favor of the change, and
with a little exertion on the part
of New Orleans it could be eftec-
ted without any trouble.
And thus the matter stands.
The offer of the gentleman sllud-
ed to is made in good faith, and
that the commercial bodies will
promptly act in the matter there
is no reason to doubt.
The wisdom of removing the ca.
pital to Baton Rouge was neve,
apparent, and since the desire Of
the Legislators from all parts Of
the State is to restransfer it e
New Orleans this should be done

A Higher Education.

ing. At no time in the history OF
the world has the call for q better
education among the masses been
louder. This is an era of progress,
and progress in its broadcast mean
ing. The study in science and IL
terature carries along with it re-
finement and culture. Education
is the motive power that impels
forward this march of progress
and with it this refinement and
culture. The parent who fails to
give to his child every advantage
that he can afford, in the way Of
education, fails in the perform
ance of an obligation that is most
sacred and for which he is moral
ly responsible. If the parent
would fit his child for the conflict
of life, in which he encounters a
vast number of worthy warriors,

and strength, he SHOULD fully
