The cultivation of this fruit is grad
ually extending in this state. Since APP
pies have paid so poorly, many farmers,
where there were any markets, have
given much attention to this fruit.
They have cultivated it as field crop,
manuring and tending the plants about
as they would corn and potatoes. The
distance planted has been four feet be
tween rows and y or two feet between
plants Set in this way there is ample
space for using horsepower in cultiva-
ton. Many of our farmers think that
rawberries are more certain crop
than potatoes and about as cheaply pro-
duced They need more wedding, but
not so much spraying with paris green,

The American Cultivator.
OF varieties the Crescent is still much
planted, as is the Haverand, although
the latter is being discarded, as it is too
soft. The Brandywine has given much
satisfaction. 1t may not ho so prolific

Crippled by
Rheumatism.

Those who have Rheumatism find
themselves growing steadily worse all
the while. One reason of this is that
the remedies prescribed by the doctors
contain mercury and potash, which ul-
timately intensity the disease by caus-
ing the joints to swell and stiffen,
producing a severe aching of the bones.
S. S. s. has been curing rheumatism
for twenty years-even the worst cases
which seemed almost incurable.

Detroit Copper Company's Con.
 ceutratOr.

Among these many enterprises IS the new concentrator now in course of con. ,truction. Large franc buildings greet tue eye. 10 the left of which, oc- cupying the slope, rises four terraces of steel set GU enormous foundations of masonry. The coucentrstor will be made of steel from the Gillette Herzog Mfg. Co.,, of Minneapolis. The foun- dation ia 120x170 feet, and the mill will be in two sections with the engine room in the middle, and the power used will be gas.
 The ore will be hoisted from the mine and dumped into second-class ore bins, which will be 30 feet higher than the top of the mill; it will then be drawn out of these bins on to a travel ing belt 32 inches widc and l30 feet long aud carried to the crushers at the top of the mill. The tirst-clsss ore will be picked from the belt while in motion.
 The method of concentrating the ore will be very much the same as that fol- lowed by the Arizona Copper com. pany, the ere being first crushed coarse and concentrated on figs and then the tailings from the figs are re. crushed and concentrated on Frue vanners. When completed it will be the largest single mill in Arizona. - Copper Era.

Tenderloin are Kaleidoscope in their
changes, - said hotel detective, "but
there is one little group of men i'll this
precinct that is much the same now that
it was dozen years ago | mean the
outside men of the gambling houses.
They are we'll known to all sporting
men, and | could name four or five who
have done little else all their lives. 1t
is their business to know the regular
patrons of faro banks, and if the man
who employs them has been forced to
close up his old place and open new
one it is their duty to circulate the tip,
"a good outside man spends his time
around hotels and i'll all night restau-
rants and picks up acquaintance wher-
ever he can. After working up to the
subject of gambling he invites his new
friend to go around to a little place that
is run honestly and safely. One of the
best dressed lOungers ON Broadway,
whose face has long been familiar to
paraders on that street, is puller i'll
for "a gambling house. He was a bar
keeper few years ago and there made
a lot of acquaintance who are his stock

IA wine agent, and l have no doubt that
he brings many thousands of dollars to

Saved Life and Name.

The French author Martainville,
who began his career toward the close
of the last century, is said to have owed
the preservation of his life to witty
piece of audacity. He was a royalist
and did not hesitate to attack the
French revolution and its authorities.
Presently. of course, he was summoned
to appear before the revolutionary tribu-
nal. The revolutionary tribunals at
that time did not hesitate to send every
body to the guiliotine who had ventured
to attack them.
Martainviile expected to go with the
rest of the victims. "What is your
name?" asked the judge. "Martain-
VILE" said the young author. MAR
tainville!" exclaimed the judge. "You
are deceiving us and trying to hide your
rank. You are an aristOcrat, and your
name is De Martainville. Citizen
president, " exclaimed the young man,
81 am here to be shortened, not to be
heightened! Leave me my name" A
true Frenchman loves witticism above
all things, and the tribunal was so
pleased by .Martainville's grim response
that it spared his life.

Charged 81 For "Sass."

A story is told of Fanny Kemble,
whose favorite summer resort was Len
OK, that on her first season there she
employed a self respecting villager, who
had a comfortable turnout, to drive her
about. He, feeling it to be his duty to
make the drive as entertaining as posi-
BILE, began to call her attention to the
beauty of the scenery-wbich she
wished to enjoy undisturbed-and to
tell her who lived i'll certain houses as
they passed along, until finally Mrs.
Kemble, being unable to stand it any
longer. said in the high tragedy manner
somewhat peculiar to her, 81 have en-
gagged YOU to drive for me, sir, and not
to talk "
The driver ceased talking, pursed up
his lips, and i'll all their subsequent
drives his only remarks were such as he
found necessary to address to his horses.
At the end of the season he handed in
his bill for the summer services. Run
ming her eye down its awkward columns,
she paused at an item that she didn t
understand. "What is this, sir? l can
not comprehend it. 3"
With equal gravity he replied, Sass,
S.. | don't often take it, but when | do
I charge"
She paid the bill without comment
and continued to employ the same driver
during many summers she spent there.
