BLACK Currnnts for canning.

Because the black currants do not
give as large yields as do the red cur
rants, it does not follow that they are
not profitable for the commercial
grower. The successful grower must
cater to the wants of the market, and
supply everything called for that he can
produce, even if there are varying de-
grees of profit in their cultivation. 1t
is important in this connection to note
that in some markets abroad the word
currant is used for the black currants,
that being the leading variety. In this
country the consumption of black cur
rants is increasing. They are used for
somewhat different purposes than are
the red. They are especially excellent
for canning.

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
The sNARLlEs.


The snarlles got into little girls hair;
They said: Let us make a little nest
thereW
Mrs Brush came along, and she said: 20,
no!
You don't belong here, and away you must
go:
This little girls hair was not meant to look
So"
The snarlies determined that there they
would stay,
They wanted to sleep and they wanted to
play,
80 they said: Mrs. Brush, you are not do
ing right;
If you don't go away, we will tie you up
tight;
To stay in this hair is our greatest de-
light"
80 then Mrs. Brush sent for good Mr..
Comb,
And asked him to help send the snarlles
all home;
And together they drove every snarlie
away,
And told them in some other place they
must stay.
Then wasn't that little girl happy and gay!

DOGS AND WooDcHUcK.
How Rover Fooled His Two Companions
Sport and Zip.


Sport and Zip.
A correspondent sends to the Youths
Companion from Paris, Me-, an enter
tanning story of three dogs and a wood
chuck.
Some years ago." he says, ct owned a
dog, Sport, who was famous wood
chuck hunter. In the course of one
season, when woodchucks were unusu-
ally numerous and troublesome, Sport
caught 25 by actual count.
'One day in June, when I was hoeing
corn, heard good deal of barking in
an adjoining field, and knew pretty well
what must be going on. On my way
to the cornfield after dinner, therefore,
went across lots to see what Sport was
about, and to help him bit, if need be,
by removing stone or two from the
wall in which the quarry had taken
refuge.
"a chorus of excited yelps and barks
guided me to the spot, and as 1 drew
near saw that Sport had plenty of
help. Zip, a neighbours dog, was on one
side, of the wall with him, and on the
other side was Rover, large hound.
'All three dogs had their noses under
the stones, and they We're digging and
making the dirt fly with their paws,
and barking and yelping as dogs will

Few women have had more miserable
existence and lived to tell the tale than Mrs.
Anna l.. Smith of 3l1 Pulaski Avenue,
Brooklyn. With all the comforts that money
affords, with all the happiness that many
Smiths life was blasted for years by the
terrible ravages of sickness. The story is
most interesting as told to areporter:
81 was an invalid for years, suffering first
with one complaint and then with another.
MY case was truly that of a complication of
diseases, due to an accident which received

the most discomfort and made me offensive
to my family was the worst case of indiges-
ton imaginable. l made all around me
miserable by my sufferings, and was most
miserable myself. had the best physician
we could find, and occasionally his pre-
scriptions relieved me temporarily. But
the pains and misery would all soon return
again. BECAME desperate, and started in
to try remedies of which 1 read. Among
them were the Pink Pills. Their appear
ance captivated me instantly, for l am
great believer in the beautiful. l took the
pills and followed out the directions to the
letter, and before many days began to feel
like different woman. For six weeks l
took the pills regularly, and / can truthfully
add after that was as well as any one in
the family. This change for the better in my

oversee my household for three years. Now
1 visit my kitchen every day, do my own
marketing and shopping; in word, look
after everything connected with my home
and family.
"oh, yes, I still keep taking the pills. 1
take one daily after dinner. Prevention,

I verify believe one half of the women
who are suffering from the ills which our
sex are heir to would be up and well if they
could be induced to give the Pink Pills q
fair trial. l certainly recommend them
heartily and feel grateful to the physician
who put them on the market"

Dog Rescued by Ais Chum,

A Georgia man has two fine settlers,
and, as one of them is inclined to stray
away, he put block of wood on the end
of his chain, so that the animal could
move around at only a slow rate. But
the other day the dog jumped the fence
and was at once in predicament. H.,
was on one side, the block on the other,
and he could neither advance nor re-
treat, and was in some danger Of
strangling. Then the other dog came to
the rescue. He took the block in his
teeth, stood on his hind legs, and, reach
ing up as far as he could, finally sue
ceeded in lifting the block over the
fence. The master of the dogs saw the
transaction, and is now prouder than
ever of his pets.

his teeth in the game; and then began

''Rover, on the other side, with his
head in the wall, was so eagerly en-

flashed upon him, and he sprang upon
the wall, and for a moment looked down
on the struggling dogs.
Like a whirlwind he launched him
self from the stones upon the wood
chuck, tore it from the mouths of the
other dogs and bore it off in his teeth.
1T happened so suddenly that Sport
and Zip didn't know what to make of it.
They seemed dazed, and looked this way
and that as if to ascertain what had be
come of their prey. AS for Rover, he
disappeared over the brow of hill,
and l do not think the two dogs left be-
hind ever fairly realized what became
of that woodchuck"

dozen or more years ago, before the
darlS-skinned rubber cutters had
pierced the jungles, and the river bot
toms and tangled hillsides teemed with
savage animals.
One morning Philip, who was pow

his revolver, intending to bag wild
turkey or two for dinner. He took
only 90 cartridges, because he did not
expect to stay long.
AS he pushed his way down brushy
hillside not mile from his cabin he
heard the ugh, ugh" of wild animal.
STOPPING quickly he looked through
the trees and saw huge herd Of wild
hogs, or peccaries, ugly, hump-backed
creatures, known for their boldness and
ferocity.
Philip thought he'd like bit of hog

Commotion in the vestry.

should look to their umbrellas. Just
how it came about can never be ex-
planned, but a lady who was standing il
the vestry of church after service
opened her umbrella, when q mouse
tumbled out of his novel trap. 1t fell
on her best Sunday hat, and, not being
pleased with this abode of ribbons and
feathers, scampered down the lady
back to the floor. AS may be imagined
there was terrible commotion in the
vestry and on the church steps, and the
way umbrellas were peered into and
shook out was q caution to nice.

bishop Elder a testimonial gift on the

ordination to the priesthood. Hearing
of this, Mrs Bellamy Storer, the wife
of ex-Congressman Storer, offered to
give her handsome house and grounds
in Cincinnati for the purpose. The COM

ever, has just received letter from
the archbishop declining the proposed
gift, on the ground that it would not
be seemly for him to accept a gift
