Baby and the Bottle.

There was a squawling under the white
parasol of the baby carriage mingled
with the sound of emphatic words from
the nurse maid. III you act like that
any more I'll fix you next time by leaving
yo uat home, SO there"
Another outburst Of infantile indigna-
ton.
"Just as sure as you live I'll never take
you out again If oyu cry like that
Then the child raised its hand In protest
and with mighty effort tossed the nurs-
ing bottle with its contents far away
toward the streets, where there were
great ugly monsters rushing along like
mad, and men like great beetles astride
of little wagons. But in spite Of the dis
play of strength by the infant, the bot
tie fell short of the street and landed a
whole foot away from the baby carriage
on the sidewalk. And there It's ending
was disastrous for It was smashed into
a thousand pieces, and the milk with
which 1t was half hlled made a big white
spot on the stone. But the little one
seemed to be satisfied with what 1t had
done and Immediately stopped its crying.
The nurse, too, looked at the child with
an expression Of despair. and then seem-
ed to decide that 1t would be better to
leave the little one alone: And SO both
sides were pacified by this polite stroke

BABIES FOR BAIT.
How Crocodiles Are Caught In Afri-
ca and Asia.

ca and Asia
Those who are up in crocodile lore are
we'll acquainted with the fact that in
Asia and Africa babies are rented for
bait to crocodile hunters, but there are
few, unless they have had the actual ex-
perience, who would believe that SINH
lar practice was in vogue in the south of
Florida. 1t is fact however, as any ex-
perienced hupser viii attest.
The alligator is like the crocodile in this
respect. He likes to eat babies, not his
own awkward offspring, but nice human
babies. fat and dimpIed. To obtain such
a delicacy for his palate an alligator will
travel far ard risk much. This fact is SO
well known that it has become the prac-
tice for alligator or crocodile hunters to
use babies as bait to lure the reptiles to
their death.
A nice, fat baby Is rented for the occa-
sion from the cracker mother to whom
half dollar is ample recompense for the
risk that her child Is to run. The baby Is
then taken to the shore Of some pond or
river. where it is attached to q stake by
means OF stout cord that has been tied
around its waist, while the hunter con-
ceals himself In the brushes or swamp
grass near the place. This method or
treatment Is usually too much for even
the self possession of q cracker baby. he
is used to being neglected and even Ill
treated, but being tethered to stake and
then left alone is rather more than he Is
willing to stand, and he voices his indls-
nation to the full extent Of his lungs.
This Is just the part that he Is expected
to play in the game Of alligator hunting
His voicing Of his emotions so franticaiiy
is heard far up and down the river or to
the farthest limits Of the pond. Almost
before the hunter Is ready to receive his
prey black, ugly head appears on the
water, the black, deadly eyes moving
slowly from side to side as If searching
for the vociferous infant. Up to this
time he has been moving slowly, but as
soon as he catches sight Of the tempting
morsel on the shore he increases hrs
speed until he 4 moving very rapidly to-
ward the spot where the infant is raising
his Voice In loud lamentations.
It is this moment that tries the nerve
of the hunter The alligator has eyes
only for the screaming and kicking child.
and the hunter realizes how important Is
the position in which he has placed him
self. A miss would mean death for the
baby; but, it Is pleasing to record the
fact. such misses are seldom made. On
the other hand, some OF the hunters are
such crack shots that they allow the
monster to come within few feet OF his
prey before they send the single shot that
causes instant death directly into his eye.

AsGREAT
CROP OF HOPS.
Row the Immense Yield Of the
Pacific Slope Vineyards
Is Gathered.
BY
Annette Crawford.

A great crop Of hops has just been
picked on the Pacific SLOPE The Fine1
yards of northern California, Washing
ton and Oregon have been stripped OF
tremendous yield Just how many tons
of hops have been gathered from those
extensive hop6elds cannot be aeeurafelH
estimated, for the United States govern
ment does not compile hop statistics as u
does of other products.
Not for more than ten years has any
effort been made to compute the aggre-
gate hop yield Then twas estimated
at about LOCO, 900 tons. This year u
must be nearly double that, for In the
last decade hundreds Of acres In Wash
ington and Oregon have been devoted 70
the planting Of hop vineyards.
All the world buys hops Of Uncle Sam
Travelling through the various hop rais5
ing districts Of the country today are
purchasing agents from abroad. Sons
represent the great English brewers Of
ales, others are from Germany, and even
the Austrians buy hops Of u.s. OF course
all these countries raise hops, too, but
none Of them has such immense vine
yards as are to be found In New 1orh
state, the middle west and on the Pacific
slope.
Washington's hop crop Is q source Of
ever increasing wealth to the state. The.
1890 crop, from all present Indications
will be considerably as0ve the averages
In yield as well as In quality, Indeed
some Of the best known growers OF the
White river valley claim that this years
crop is better In QualitA than any during
the past seven or eight ears. The state
yield, it Is estimated, will be nearly 40c
600 bales.
Hop buyers and exporters have been!
travelling over the Washington yards for
weeks past, inspecting the crops, discuss
The Jersey City news., 1899-10-21

ing the outlook with the growers and
wherever possible contracting for early
delivery at present quotations. 1t can
be said that not more than very small
percentage of the crop Of this year has
been contracted for
The reasons are twofold-namely, that
the usual bear talk prevails at this sea-
son of the year and that the growers, be.
ing in much better shape financially than
fora long time past. are not compelled
to accept the offers made By the brokers'
The price offered BY the buyers ranges
from 103a to 13 cents per pound. which,
while it is somewhat larger thans the
price offered at this time year~ago, is
not what the growers expected earlier In
the season. -
The brokers are saying that the Eng
lish crop this year win be much heavier
than usual, reports from London and
Liverpool being to that effect 1t Is
claimed by the growers, however. that
these reports emanate from -sourcesw which
are under the influence Of the buyers and
exporters and are therefore stingeds with
a bearish color,
In support Of the belief. which certain
growers cherish, that prices wilk mount
upward during the winter, It Is urged
that prosperous business and INDUSTRIAL
conditions, prevailing not only In the
United States. but also in England4 will
result in a materially increased suse and
consumption Of hops next year. An ar,
gument in this line is the fact that the.
consumption Of beer increases annually |
as shown by statistics, both at home and
abroad.
Even at 13 cents, the maximum price
that has been offered this year, there is
a good profit for the hop growers. The
science OF hop raising has been brought
to such fine point that now it is-esti-
mated the cost Of raising the fragrant
fruit Of the vines is cents per. pound
In Washington the yield Will Averages
very nearly 1900 pounds per acre On
this reckoning the hop growers win real
ize almost il not quite 500 per acre net
profit Only the choicest valley lands
are used in hop culture. the sod being y
thick black muck, in which all forms Of
vegetation attain wonderful luxuriance-l
The time was, not long ago, when prac-
tically the whole crop of Washington'
was harvested By swarthy skinned pick
ers from the forests OF the state. Yearly,
the proportion OF white pickers TO 1ndi1
ans has grown larger until 1t is apparent
that the time is not far OF when fhe
whites win far outnumber the indians.
The pickers, both whites and copper
colored, carry to the fields nIltcampin&
outfits, as a rule, including proyender for
the sojourn in the country. Cabins are
sometimes provided for the Ehjts pick
ers, but IL the weather IL fine ,aheys as
well as the Indians, prefer to live IN
