THE BEST CHANGES

or Success for Young Men Are to he
Found Outside our Largest Cities.
Cuisines conditions of the great
cities are not favorable to young men,"
writes Edward w. Box in the October
Ladies Home journal, advising young
men about to begin their careers against
going to the big cities. ut is said" he
continues, "that competition develops
men. 1t does, unquestlonably. But to
cope with present competition as it
exists in the centres, calls for vast
amount of experience. That experiene
a man must have back of him before he
can enter the competing arena. But
how can | better acquire that experience
than where there is constant need of itY
How better, my young friend? By serv-
ing a long apprenticeship in some city
smaller than the greatest The large
cities are today poor places in which to
learn the rudiments of business competi-
ton, for while the young man is learn
ing, the experienced man swallows him
up. But that is experience persists
the young man. 1t is, but a more Sc
we're kind than there is need of kind
which, once INDUCED in, does not leave
a pleasant remembrance. Competition
in smaller city may be just as keen,
proportionately, but, what is all-impor-
tant to the young man starting out, the
risks are not so great: the experience is

succeed. 1t is true saying that man
before he succeeds in bushes must ex-
pect to measure his height on the ground
a time or two. But it is not necessary
that in his first knock down he should
be knocked out.
"But there is another and more i'm
pOrtant fact which the young man away
from the large cities does not realize. 1t
is that the number of possible positions
in the large cities is not Increasing,
despite the reiterated assertions con-
stantly made to the contrary. The very
opposite is the truth. Various causes
explain this higher taxes, higher prices
of lots, or lack of building room, labor
strikes, and lower cost of production.
The manufacturing interests of this
country are constantly tending toward
the smaller cities and away from the
centres. All this means fewer positions,
since only in rare instances does the eX-
ecutive branch of business call for a
larger number of employees than does
the manufacturing side. Strange as the
change of current may seem, it is,
nevertheless, fact that the young man
who today leaves a good-sized city of
actual manufacturing advantages, turns
his back on what in few years will be
one of the industrial bee-hives of
America"

In all the older settled parts of the
country setting out plenty of fruit
trees is the best method of making a
farm profitable, or of making it sala-
BILE if it is desired TO sell it. Nothing
adds to the attractiveness of a country
place so much as does a judiciously
selected variety of fruits. This will
secure sale for a country place, when
other more expensive attractions, such
as costly buildings, will not sell a
place in ten years. People go to the
country, not for the costly buildings,
which they have already in the city,
but for the special advantages which
country life can give them. Chief of
these are fresh air, good water, and
plenty of the best fruit in its season.
The country place that can supply all
these need not long lack purchaser.

OCTOBER WEATHER.
rheumatism Just Now to
be Feared.
People Catch Cold and Suffer with
The Prevalent Malady.
Mr.. s. E. Chase's Experience
The Very Simple Remedy
He Used.

rheumatism is growing more and more
prevalent here. And neuralgia adds it's
tortures to the disease that is making life
burden to many in Middlebury.
The cold, wet weather, the carelessness
about getting the feet wet, or perhaps
some indiscretion in the diet, result in
the agOnizing rheumatism. One part of
the system Is attacked after another, and
sometimes the vital organs yield to it, so
that the increased mortality rate of Octo-
Der is chiefly due to this disease and its
complications.
The methods of treatment are as diff
ferent and widely varying as there are
physicians, but nothing has yet been
discovered that begins to equal the simple
remedy used by S. f. Chase, a well-knOwn
G. \. Il. man of Waltham, Mass. He
is an old soldier, nearly seventy years of
age, and was all run down with chronic
rheumatism, liver complaint, and heart
disease. In fact, he got pension for
these troubles. He was so low that he
thought he could not live long. But he
used vegetable extract, called Paine's
Celery Compound, which. as he puts 1t,
"did wonders for me, aud made me feel
like a new man.
Mr.. Chase is doing all he can to spread
the good news of this compouds wonder
full efficacy in rheumatism, neuralg ia. and
nervous diseases. lie already has ten of
his friends using it, and says he can cure
any one. When such simple preparation
as this is known, which appears to be so
reliable, it is foolish for any one to suffer
long.

A recent bulletin of the School of
Agriculture of Scandicci, Italy, says
Consul-General Jones, writing from
Rome, describes experiments made by
Professor march,, for the keeping of
grapes fresh during the winter
A certain quantity of grapes (com-
prising different qualities), was hung
up in a cool and dry place all damaged
berries having been previously re-
moved; a second lot was packed IN
dry, pulverized peat in wooden boxes.
At the end of four months the grapes
that had been hung up had become de-
cayed and had dropped off; on the 9TH
er hand, those that had been packed
in the boxes were found to be in fine
condition. This is, therefore, sim
pie and economical method. Another

with a good bit of stem attached and
lmmersing their tips in bottles contain

periments were also made for preserv-
ing seed potatoes by using corn shucks,
saw dust, peat, and very dry sand. The
three first mentioned substances gave
the best results while the sand prov ed

It is not only in new varieties of the
well-known fruits that improvements
are to be made. but there are also i'm
portant discoveries liz the adaptability
of species now little known to human
use. All our common fruits, in the
north at least, says the Boston Guilt
vator, originated in Asia, which is
commonly supposed to be the home of
mans earliest civilization. Thus the
cherry, peach, nectarine, apricot and
apple are all believed to have been
first used by man in western Asia, and
to be thence distributed through Eu-
rope and thence to America. 1t is
not creditable to modern enterprise
that we should now exclusively use
fruits which originated in the earliest
ages of human civilization. 1t is well
that we have improved upon the vari-
cites they cultivated. But if we had
taken pains with the fruits of different
species that promised most we might
have made some of these equally val
liable for human use.
The persimmon is, we believe. an ex-
clusively American fruit. AS it grows
wild it is generally of not much value
But it was found that even in its wild
state there was much difference IN
quality. BY taking the best of these
and cultivating them, new varieties
have been produced. OF course, none
of these are good to eat until touched
by frost But in their best condition
the improved persimmons are said to
be excellent, and likely to be popular
wherever the trees can be grown,
though its short season will prevent it
from being marketed very far from
the locality where it is grown. Peo-
pie have to learn to like persimmOns,
and it may be that this liking can only
be got where this is the only fruit to
be had.

President Porter, of Yale, once gave
the following advice to the students of
that institution: " Young men, you are
the architects of your own fortunes.
Rely on your own strength of body and
soul. Take for your star self-reliance.
Inscribe on your banner, Luck is a fool ;
Pluck is hero Don't take to much
advice-keep at the helm and steer your
own ship and remember that the art of
commanding is to take a fair share of
the work. Think well of yourself
Assume your own position. Put potatoes
in cart, 90 over a rough road, and the
small ones go to the bottom. Energy
and invinclble determination, with a
right motion, are the levers that move
the world.

Not nearly so much is said as used
10 be about the practice of enclosing
punches of grapes in paper bags to
there ripen. The evil which it was
intended to prevent, the rotting of the
berries, is now better prevented by
spraying with the Bordeaux and other
germicide mixtures. Bagged grapes
arc very tender skinned, as might be
expected. They are very nice for home
use, but cannot probably be sent far
to market.

iSlature are making many appounintS

The writer of the letter is white
washer who was once elected Justice
of the Peace in Merced. The Governor
is absent from the city just now, the
Private Secretary wants such soft

the Executive office is not great enough
with Mr.. Duckworth to help out the

continue at his profession of kalsomin-

/ 400 convicts in the penitentiaries of
New York. By an Act of the Legisla-
ture of that State convict labor ceased
in all the different shops on the 1st day
of January, 1897. The statement comes
that prisoners are petitioning the War
den for employment, and express fear
that they will go insane If left confined
in their cells. The labor system in the
penitentiarieS was a device some fifty
or more years ago by philanthropists to
give occupation to the hands and brains
of conviots, and qualify them to gain an
honest support when released from
penal servitude. Labor agitators could
only see their own side of the story.
