CANNED GOODS.

The short crop of vegetables IN Texas
this summer has caused the trade to take
an interest in canned goods considerably
eerer thar usual. Local jobhers repcct
an excellent demand and have made fun
preparations therefor. II. ID. Taylor &

of Baltimore canned goods by steamer

in advance of the regular winter supplies,

What fs HOme3

A prize was offered recently by Lon
DON "Tit-Bits" for the best answer to
the question. What is home?' Here
are few of the answers which were re-
ceived:
Home is the blossom Of which heaven
is the fruit.
A world of strife shut out, world Of
love shut in.
The golden setting in which the
brightest jewel is mother.
The only spot on earth where the
faults and failings of humanity are
hidden under mantle of charity.
The place where the great are some
times small and the small often great.
The fathers kingdom, the children s
paradise, the mothers world.
Where you are treated best and you
grumble most.
A little hollow scooped out of the
windy hill Of the world, where we can be
shielded from it's cares and annoyances.

A Queer Pet.

A Tioga man has probably the most
curious pet on record. 1t is nothing
more nor less than a trained shrimp.
One would scarcely believe a shrimp to
be possessed of any intelligence, yet this
little crustacean, whom his master has
christened Neptune, really seems to be
a most deserving little chap. Neptune
is the pride of quite a large aquarium,
II. which he rules supreme. He is very
fond of music, and when his master
places a mouth-organ against the glass
side of the aquarium and plays, Nep-
tune shows every manifestation of Joy.
He hops around on his tail and twirls
his body as though dancing to the time
OF the music, and when the strains cease
he places his little nose against the
glass as though begging for more. His
favorite airs are "A Life On the Ocean
Wave" and Rocked in the Cradle of
the Deep" Neptune's master has lit
tie stick which he places in the aqua
rum, and the shrimp will play about
this for hours, standing on his head,
turning handsprings and doing other
equally remarkable feats.-Phila delphia

Onions for Diphtheria.

"Why don't they use onions? For
goodness sake, why don't they use
onions? Where do they live? I will
go up there to-day and tell them to use
onions!"
Such were the exclamations of our
mother when we reported at dinner that
child of G. w. Dudley was dead, and
the whole family, including himself,
alarmingly sick with diphtheria. Mother
was moved to these earnest and inter
ested expressions by firm belief that
she knows several lives saved by the
use of onions in diphtheria. In these
cases raw onions were placed in band
age and beaten into a pulp, the cloths,
containing onions, juice and all, being
then bound about the throat and well
up over the ears. Renewals may be
made as often as the mass becomes
dry. In cases noticed the result was
almost magical, deadly pain yielding in
short time to sleepy comfort. We wish
this remedy might have wide enough
trial to fully test its usefulness.-Dan-
vers Mirror.

Another Solomon.

There are still judges in the world
who are almost as wise as King Solo
mon and veritable Daniels come to
judgment" Such a one presides over
a local court in the Isle of Scio. An
action for damages was brought
against a local railway company arising
out OF a serious collision. A man had
lost an arm in the affair, and young
married woman had been made a
widow. For the loss of the arm the
Judge awarded 6.000 piastres, and only
1000 for the loss of the husband. At
this there were loud murmurs, where
upon the Judge justified himself in the
following terms: MY dear people, my
verdict must remain, for you will see
1t is a just one. Poor Nikola has lost
his arm, and nothing on earth can re-
store that priceless limb. But you"
turning to the woman, "you are still
young and pretty. You have now some
money; you will easily find another
husband, who possibly may be'as good.
perhaps better, than your dead lord. ;"
The people cheered and congratulated
each other on having such a Judge

Condition of Affairs in France Very
Threatening.
PARIS, Feb. 1.-THE political crisis
arising out of the demand of the senate
for a vigorous inquiry into the Southern
railroad scandal is practically struggle
between the chamber of deputies, which
has supported the radical ministry, and
the senate, which seems bent upon over
throwing it, even at the cost of serious
disturbance.
There is little excitement this MORN
ing outside the newspaper offices. 1t is
claimed the resignation af the ministry
would not alter the matter to any great
extent, as it appears to be no longer a
question of confidence or of non-confi-
dence in the cabinet. The chamber of
deputies, it is asserted, has practically,
by defying the senate, endangered the
constitution, and the result is condi-
ton of affairs about as threatening as
any since the troublesome times of
1901.
The conservatives and socialists de-
mand the dissolution of parliament.
The moderates and republicans agree
that dissolution is advisable, but claim
it should take place under another
cabinet.
