READING. Pa, July 15.-The Rev. A. T. Peck of

are just long enough to go around the

were some fancy boas made of pearl gray

curled ostrich tips fastened along in the

plumes fastened along.

The new covert cloths are new indeed

other is plaid or stripe. This is particular
ly designed for the needs of biCyClists and
must certainly please them. The crava-
nettes, having proved their excellence for
cycling as we'll as all other outdoor pur-
poses, are also offered this fall in every con-
cevable color and weight. They also are
made reversible The dark green and the
rich nut browns are revelations in beauty
and value Though waterproof, they are
not so heavy as serge or covert and are al
together excellent value.
Among things of minor note one may
mention that princess skirt which

could be persuaded to do anything that
resembled work, and sailed back up the
Hudson with whole boatload of them
bound for the hopfelds around Coop
erstown.
All the tramps know abodt the hop
fields, too, and such of them as are not
entirely averse to labor drift into the
hop counties about the middle of Au-
gust, where for month or so they revel
in the luxuries of regular meals, COM
Portable beds and the certainty of hav-
ing money enough ON Saturday night to
keep them gloriously drunk until Mon
day morning, But the tramps form a
small element OF the great army of hop
pickers which is now at work,
A field Of hops at picking time is not
only lively scene, but beautiful one
as we'll. The vivid green of the leaves
makes a harmonious background for the
golden tinted clusters of hops, and the
vines climb up and transform the plain
poles into miniature but graceful spires.
At convenient places in the field are To-
Cated the picking booths. Generally
some sort of shelter is provided TO shield
the piokers from the hot sunshine. Un-
der this are placed the boxes, each hold
ing about 40 pounds of hops. The pole
puller first cuts the vines about foot

from the ground and then pulls up the
pole with its clinging burden of fra
grant garlands These he carries TO the
picking booths, where the pickers, in
groups of four, strip off the clusters and
drop them into the boxes.
The pickers are paid by the box, the
price being fixed by tho Hop Growers
association, at from 20 to 20 cents
box with board, or from 80 to 40 cents
a box without. A slow picker will do
perhaps 1.-TWO boxes and a start'-that
is, he will fill two boxes and part of an
other-but fast picker will fill four or
five in day. Breakfast is usually serv-
ed about o'clock and the work is well
under way soon after sunrise. Three
substantial meals are served during the
day and the pickers do good justice to
them, for there seems TO be something in
the air of the hopfelds which stimu-
lates appetite The odor of ripening
hops is also said to be beneficial for all
kinds Of lung troubles and invalids often
join the pickers on this account alone.
All day long snatches of song and the
hum of gossip can be heard from the
hopfi 9lds, for the pickers are q sociable
lot and soon become well acquainted.
Good natured chaff, friendly raillery,
funny stories and bits Of personal his
tory are exchanged over the hop boxes
and sometimes when the pickers are
young, sweet smiles and tender senti-
ments as well. Many romance Of the
humber sort has had its beginning in
this manner and probably not few OBJ
scure tragedies.
It is in the evening, though, that the
social life of the pickors takes on its
liveliest aspect. About three times a
week there is sure to bo a dance some
where in the neighEOrhood, arranged
especially for the benefit of the hop
pickers and attended almost exclusively
| by them. Sometimes the dances are held
in the neighboring village and some
times the hop raiser himself manages
the affair and gives the use of somo of
his farm buildings in order to keep his
assistants on the premises. The charao-
ter of these "hop dances" depends large
ly upon the source from which the pick
ers are drawn. If it is a dance of home
pickers, people from the nearby viii
lagos, it is entirely peaceful. If the
pickers come from the factory towns, it

Terhe is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney reme-
dy, fulfills every wish in relieving pain
in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. 1t
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad eff
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urin-
ate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized

is likely to be rather a 60 as you please
function, while the dances which the
hoboes and denizens of the Bowery in
dulge in are often disgraceful, riotous
affairs at which much whisky is drunk
and many heads cracked.
In fact, the conduct of the hop pick
ers has for many years troubled the
good people Of the hop counties, and
many efforts have been made to reform
their habits. Undoubtedly much that
is not strictly proper, to put it mildly,
takes place on these occasions, for most
of the pickers are young people who
are freed from what little restraint
they are accustomed to at home, and
they act accordingly, From time to
time homo missionaries, evangelists and
gospel bands have visited the hOpfelds
to labor with the pickers in a spiritual
sense and possibly their efforts may
have borne good results.
All sorts of experiments have been
tried by the raisers in gathering their
hops. For one or two seasons gangs of
Italians, hired through New York con-
tractors, were put to work, but they
proved slow, clumsy and unmanageable.
| They threw leaves and stems into the
boxes, stole everything that was not
nailed down or locked up and INDUCED
in sprees at which knives were used
freely and sometimes with fatal effect.
Indians from the reservations make
better pickers, but they often drink
large quantities of fire water" and
prove tough customers for the local
constabulary to handle.
There was time shortly after the
civil war when New York state farmers
produced nearly all the hops raised on
the continent. Those were halcyOn days
in the hop country, for hops sold as
high as 81 per pound and big fortunes
were made. But New York was not
allowed to monOpolize the industry,
and for the past 10 or 10 years Ohio
and other states of the middle west have
paid noble tribute to the shrine Of Gam
brinus. Just ut present Oregon and
