Willie with bill for 40 cents for
peaches, and this is the way Will
raises most of his big fruit and

The city has received a car load
of hard lumber and we notice the
workmen tearing up the crossing
at Vine street and will replace it
with new material. We think if
the city would use piping like they
have adopted ON the West side,
they would never have to renew as
they do now. 1t cost very little
more and when once down, always
down. We ask our aldermen to see
after this system of piping off storm
water and if feasible to adopt it.

WOULD ABOLISH CONGRESS.
New York business Men Say 1t flinders
the Return OF Prosperity.

There is n movement proposed among
the business men Of New York to abolish
congress. They insist that the country
will never its prosperity until
lingo agitation ceases and the tariff is
let alone. They say that every session Of
congress INJURIES the country to the OK
tent Of hundreds Of millions Of dollars,
which is directly due to attempts to
make political capital in debate and leg
islation.
In the last congress it was the tariff,
q prolonged agitation which unsettled
commercial and industrial affairs and
made it impossible for people to do bust
ness. This time it was first the Armeni-
an question, then Venezuela and then
Cuba, which has destroyed confidence to
such an extent that everybody who has
money locks it up in a safety vault, and
those who haven't any are unable to
arm it. William E. Curtis in Chicago

Tea and Coffee.

British trade statistics show that tea
is driving coffee out of the market in
the United Kingdom England has al
ways been great country for tea drink
ing. and now the British taste for that
beverage is apparently stronger and
more nearly universal than ever. In the
United States, although u very great
portion of tho population is of almost
unmixed British origin, coffee complete
ly overshadows tea III common use.
There Is no reason to believe that the
latter will ever become popular here in
the same sense that coffee Is already,
and the coffee trade increases constantly.
Nations differ in such matters to q
very remarkable degree. Germany, like
the United States, is coffee drinking
country, and SO is France to less ex-
tent. Russia, on the other hand, is more
devoted to tea than England. and China
and Japan care as little for coffee as the
Turks do for the tea which the yellow
races Of eastern Asia consume in cnor-
nous quantities. In some cases the eli
mate seems to be a determining influ-
ence, the lower the temperature the
greater being the consumption Of tea
and the smaller the coffee trade There
are notable exceptions. however, for
Germany, where coffee leads by long
odds, is land of colder weather in
winter than the British isles expert
ence. Japan. where tea is universally
used, is warmer than Asia Minor, where
the Turks drink coffee very freely.
However, as a rule, the colder coun.
tries prefer tea to coffee. and in the
warmer climates coffee is easily first in
popularity. -Clcveland Leader.

USES OF A PIECE OF STRING.
or Importance to the woodsman In Many
Emergencies, Both Big and Little.

or Importance to tho Woodsman In Many
Emergencies, Both Big and Little.
A piece of string is often Of great
value to II hunter or fisherman. Stout
string, such as is used to tic up heavy
bundles, is most valuable. Some sports
men put piece of string Mt higher
value than any other single part of the
camp outtit-apart, Of course, from the
implements of sport
If the fishing rod breaks, the string
mends it again. If the suspenders break,
tho string ties tho ends together. Should
the gunstock break, the string is inval-
liable If pack basket strap fails,
string takes its place. A tear in tent
is sewed up with string. Game is hung
up out of reach Of animals with string.
A lost man makes snares out of string
and catches birds and rabbits enough to
keep him from going hungry. Likewise
stout string will serve as fishlino in
the absence of regular tackle. If the
chain is lost, tho dog may DO led with a
string. A boat can DO anchored with a
rock and cord.
In the absence Of string substitute
is made by cutting strip as long rs

hair has been taken. The woodsmen pre-
fer rawhide string to all others, be-
cause it is much stronger, if properly
cut, and tho woodsman is very expert in
cutting tho string Of even strength.
Where the hide is thin he cuts a broad
strip; where it Is thick he cuts narrow
one. He prefers horsehide to buckskin,
and buck s skin is better than u does
A raft is easily made with string
and three or six logs, according to the
size. and many a skin boat is sewed with
rawhide strings With u piece Of string
