How to Prevent Group.

Some reading that will prove in

guard against the disease.
Group is a terror to young moth
ers and to post them concerning
the case, first symptoms and treat
ment is the object of this item. The
origin of Group is common cold.
Children who are subject to it take
cold very easily and Group is al
most sure to follow. The first
symptoms is hoarsness; this is soon
followed by a peculiar rough cough
which is easily recognized and will
never be forgotten by one who has
heard it. The time to act is when
the child first becomes hoarse. II

the croupy cough has developed it
will prevent the attack. There is
no danger in giving this remedy

alcohol should not readily balance him.
But IL, on the other hand, he mixes his
drinks with exasperating carelessness,
combining, for example, Scotch ale and
Dublin stout with dry champagne and
seltzer, there is every reason to fear
that the heavy liquors might fly off to
one side, leaving the center Of gravity
upset and tumbling the rider to the
ground.
Treating the question seriously, how
ever, the bicycle as q detector of in
ebriety wouldSseem to be valuable
test. 1t is hardly likely, however, to
be accepted as conclusive argument
in the police courts. In nearly every
case that can be imagined the magis-
trate on the bench would prefer med
ical mans testimony, That was what
the London police official in the case
above mentioned did, despite Mr.. Gill's
proposition that he would ride his
wheel in the courtroom in support of
his theory.

PLENTY OF WILD FRUITS.
Nature Has Been Very Generous
This Year.
The Abundance of Berries and Nuts, 1t !
tsaid, Presages Severe Cold and
Lots of Snow the Com
Ing Winter.

If there is anything in the old belief
that a season of abundant wild fruits,
and especially nuts, presages a cold
and snowy winter, we may expect Sc
we're weather five, six and seven months
hence, says the New York Sun. All
the wild fruits hcreabouts have been
unusually abundant, and there is prom
Use of an equally abundant nut crop.
The fruit season opened with plenty of
strawberry could retain, along with its
large size, the sugary sweetness and
juicy tenderness of the wild berry it
would be vastly more popular even
than now, and the sin of strawberry
short cake would be seldom committed.
just after,the strawberries came the
wild blaclscap raspberries, abundant
and excellent. They were greedily
eaten by birds and boys and like wild
creatures. Blackberries are still ripen-
ing, because their season is longer than
that OF most other wild fruits. In the
immediate suburbs they are abundant,
but smaller than usual, though farther
north they are, both plentiful and
luscious. They are extremely sweet
this year in spite of the plentiful rain,
which is sometimes supposed to in
crease the size of such fruits at the ex-
pense of the flavor. The berries that
grow in the shade of the woodlands
seem to reach the highest perfection.
Wild cherries are abundant, and ripen-
ing in good season. They seem to be a
fayorite fruit with the birds, and the
output of that delectable and beautiful
cordial, cherry bounce, is greatly cur
tailed by reason of the fact that the
birds seize each separate cherry as it
ripens on the bunch. Wild apple trees
in fields and woodlands, where they
have sprung up as volunteers and have
never been grated, are "roping" with
fruit, as is the picturesque country
phrase. They have a pleasant wild
tang, often in keeping with their out
lawry, bat they make excellent APPLE
sauce. Cooking seems to rob them of a
certain gripping quality, but does not
destroy their wild flavor.
The nuts promise well, and upon
these the weather Indication is sup
posed especially to hang, An abund-
ant nut crop is held toindicate provi-
dentialcare against snow and cold, for
the needs of squirrels and other wild
creatures that lay in winter stores. The
nuts are full Of delightful suggestions
to country-bred men whose memories
are still supple The hickory nut
seems to be full size now, and they
CLEAN pleasantly among the leaves.
Their pungent odor is a lively spur to
memory. The chestnuts, which seem
only yesterday to have lost their tas-
sells, are showing abundant small ten
der furs They were hoary with prom
isc in the blossom stage, but the trees
never lived up to the early indications.
Wnlnuts swing high in air, their twin
green spheres thiclsly dotting the
rather thin foliage of the great trees.

An Important Feature In the Business OF

An Important Feature In the Business of
10000 Dealers In Stoves in This Country.
Tin and sheet iron workers dealing
in stoves usually make their own stove
pipe, while the bullsof the product of
stoyepipc manufacturers is sold to
dealers III stoves, hardware and house
furnishing goods. Most stovepipe is
made by hand. There are various
patents relating to the manner of join
ing the seam, and pipes are made that
can be shipped nested, the seams to be
Joined at the point of destination,
thereby saving freight charges, says
the New York Sun.
Stovepipe is sold in joints, two feet
in length, and in various diameters In
anthracite regions the pipe averages
five or six inches in diameter, but in
soft coal regions it is mostly seven or
eight inches in diameter. Stovepipe is
much cheaper than itused to be. Such
pipe as formerly sold at retail at TWEEN
. five cents a joint, can now be bought
at fifteen cents or less. There are in
the United States about forty, thou-
sand dealers of one kind or another
who sell stoves, and the annual con-
sumption of stovepipe in this country
amounts to millions of joints Stove
pipe manufacturers begin making pipe
for the winter trade about the middle
of summer, and jobbers begin placing
their orders about the same time. The
distribution to dealers is active through
August and September, and it continues
until the end of winter.
While many stove dealers having tin
smiths plants make their own pipe,
very few now manufacture elbows,
which they can buy cheaper from the
manufacturer. There are numerous
patents on elbows. There arc elbows
that are made all in one piece, and 9th
ers are made insections. There is more
machine work in the manufacture OF
elbows than in the manufacture of pipe.
The old-fashioned right-angledelbo Of
two pieces is still made by hand, but its
sale is limited; and most elbows are Of
the modern kind, with three, four or
five sections. There are adjustable ell
bows, made with movable joint, which
can be adjusted to any angleor to two
angles.

soclETY's NEW FAD.
Planting . Little Acorn at a Birth o
~ Marriage.


Marriage.
Society has new English fad. 1t
might be more properly called sug-
lgestion of fad, for it requires time to
grow, just as an acorn requires time to
become an oak. When the duke of
York was married a loyal subject
planted an acorn. The loyal subject
assiduonsly cultivated the tiny sprig
which presently appeared above
ground. When the son of the duke Of
York was born, says an eastern ex-
change, the loyal subject presented his
tiny oak to the infant prince, in behalf
OF whom it was received most gracious
". 1t was planted at Sandringhan
and is the chief pride and care Of the
head gardener. A new leaf ON that oak
is second in Importance only to new
tooth in the future kings head It is
the court fashion for royalty and mo-
bility to inquire frequently as to the
growth of the little tree, and it is es-
teemed a high privilege to see Prince
Edwards tiny oak, the acorns of which
win doubtless be treasured upas SOU
venirs several hundred years after
Prince Edward has been gathered to
his fathers. The family tree idea is
certain to be no less popular in Ameri-
en- thanin England, where the fad has
the favor and patronage of royalty.
The fashion may be called a pretty
one, commemorating anniversaries
about which most family sentiment at
taches, the date of marriage and of the
birth of the first heir, and it carries
ON in the future, in way which it is
pleasant 70 fancy, its story Of double
happiness, To plant the acorn on the
date of the wedding, to transplant and
present the tree ON the day the first
baby is born--that is the simple method
OF the new fad.
