Hop picking Machines.

The hop picking machine is surely
coming, although its progress is neces.
sarily slow. G. @. Green, the New York
state inventor who has spent much time
on &e picking machine, is still at work
and continues to see success in the near
future. He has good reason for sanguine
expectations, for he has already a ma,
chine which will pick hops rapidly and
well, but his ideal is high, and he is
not yet satisfied, says The New England
Farmer.

A Humorist In the Commons.

Mr.. Radcliffe Cooke, who is pushing
the cider Of his native county of Here
fordshire with an energy which a Chi
cago drummer might envy, is one of
the quaintest and most. original humor-
lists in the house Of commons. He is
small man with big head, which he
puts ON one side in a birdllke fashion
when he addresses the house that is ir-
resistibly droll. He was returned for
Newington in 1885 and again on the
Unionist wave in 1885. But he lacked
the infinite capacity of attending smok-
ing concerts and writing checks which
is essential to popularity in metropol-
itan constituency, and so he was turned
out in 1892. When Mr.. w. H. Grenfell
retired from the next parliament on the
question of bimetallism, Mr.. Radcliffe
Cooke was returned at the byelection
for Hereford city, near which he farms
a small property hence the cider agita.

Japan Persimmon Eor IeA-..
Professor Van Deman tells that there
is no doubt of the success and value Of
the Asiatic species of the persimmon,
Dyospyros kaki, in Texas. 1t has passed
beyond the experimental stage, for, as
in other southern states, there are plenty
of bearing trees Of many varieties that
attest their hardness and fruitfulness.

leather protectors for the stomach and
