With this end in view it has been our de-

FruitfrOm America.

Frank II. Mason, United States
consul general at Berlin. makes
ihe following very interesting re-
port on the market for American
fruitin Germany:
The prospect for an unrrecedeni-
ed export Of American dried prun-
es. apcieots, peaches and pears, as
well as. eyaporated apples and rasp-
berries, to Germany this Autumn
and winter is exceedingly bright,
providing the crop in the United
States is sufficiently plentiful TO
furnish a large supply at reasona-
bic prices. The popularity of
American dried and preserved
fruits i'll this country has incr ,ased
from year to year, by reason of
both their relative cheapness and
their unrivaled flavor and excel
lence, until a leading wholesale
dealer an such products at Berlin
informs this consulate that his APP
plications from his customers
who are mainly grocers and pro-
vision dealers in other towns and
cities--are larger this season than
ever before and relate almost tx
clusively to American fruits
California prunes are rapidly
supplanting the fine but expen-
sire French product and the low
grade Bosnian prunes III the Ger
man market, and there is nothing
here that can successfully compete
with the dried pears and peaches
and evaporated apples from the
United States. j will therefore
be Of interest to American export
ers to know that the tedious and
annoying inspection of dried fruits
at the German frontier--as a pre-
caution against supposed danger
from the San Jose scale - has been
discontinued since the first of last
month. 50 that the way is now
open to an unrestricted trade.
Last year. the supply Of American
dried fruits was insufficient to
meet the demands Of the German
market; but this year large COLI
tracts have been made by Ameri-
. can merchants who, after visiting
the Paris exposition, haze come to
this country and. by way Of COM
bining business with travel, have
visited the principal German cit
les and personally offered their
products to the more important
dealers
As to fresh fruits, the inspec-
, tious at the frontier will be still
maintained, but. it is believed, in
fair and liberal spirit. 1t is not
ed in this connection that hither-
to cases of san Jose scale have
been found most frequently among
2 the highest and most expensive
, class Of apples, such as are wrap
ped in tissue paper and put up i'll
boxes for family and hotel use,
whereas such infection has rarely
been detected III the common grad
es Of apples, which are packed
loosely in ordinary barr Is. This
. probably results from the fact that
the choicest American apples come
. from state or district specially in
fected by the scale. whereas the
states along the northern frontier
New York, Michigan, Wisconsin,
and Iowa-are generally free from
it. 1t is suggested by the German
importers that if, before being
wrapped and packed, the high-clas'
apples could be wiped or brushed
especially at the ends of the core
whatever scale exists might ht
easily removed and thus Who'll,
shipments OF such expensive frul
now liable TO be condemned. woulc
2 be enabl-d TO pass the inspection
s without danger.

The Canteen Plank.

followed by an editorial ola column /
and a half attempting to justify
the act Of President Mckinley in
nullifying The Canteen Law. We
wish that we could reprint the
whole article but havn't space,
heuce ask you TO read the Tribute
of the 18th inst
We take it for granted that the
opinion presented is the policy Of
the republican party SINCE the

party work in Idaho, and is almost
conseeded as authority on their
doctrines.

that they are not practicle, and be-

the president was not obligated to
enforce a law that was the result
of their earnest efforts. We shall
not discuss now whether or not the
canteen law is best, but how does
this sound which is from our Hon
orable General Shafter:
Il have been strongly opposed
to the cantecn system or the sale
Of Intoxicating drinks of any kind
on military reservations. and have
opposed it until absolutely over
ruled and required 10 establish a
canteen at my post. l regard it
demoralizing to the man. besides
inparing seriously their efficiency.
There are always in every regiment
a number Of men that viii under
any circumstances get and drink
liquor. but the great majority are
are temperate. abstemious men,
and it is to these that the evil ef-
fects Of the post exchange system
works the greatest injury: as
young men who would not think
of going away from the post for
liquor Will, when it is placed before
them. and every inducement Of
fered them to purchase, do 50 and
thus gradually acquire habits Of

Would any one suppose for a

M'KINLEYISMS.

'Wc must know Just what other people want
before we can supply their wants. We must
understand exactly how to reach them with
least expense if we would enter into the most
advantageous business relations with them.'
'Wc want to preserve carefully all the old
life of the nation-the dear old lie Of the
nation and our cherished institutions-but we
do not want to shirk single responsibility that
has been put upon us by the results Of the
war;
at is to me most gratifying to find the peo.
pie taking an interest in their government. All
power rests with them, and. those Of us who
for the moment are selected to execute their
will, are but their servants"
'The best sentiment, the holest sentiment,
comes from the American homes-the plain
homes where virtue resdes and home life,
a family life lies at the very foundation Of this
popular government OF ouls.''
"Whle our victories in battle have added new
honors to American valor, the real honor is the
substantial gain to humanity"
''You will not employ labor to make a pro.
duet unless you can find buyer for that pro.
duct after you have made It,"

RAIN MEASURING MACHINES.

From the London Express.
The British Rainfall association. as
it now stands. is the result of half a
century's unremitting labor. From
something over 100 at the start it has
now more than 5000 reporting stations,
which extend over all parts of the Brit
ish Isles.
At each station is an agent of the
| association, armed with rain gauge,
making observations to be eventually
dispatched to headquarters for embodi-
ment in the annual report. On Decem-
Der 81 of each year printed forms are
sent to all the agents, who are sup
posed to fill them in with the particu-
lars of their observations for the en-
tire twelve months.
But now as to how the rain Is meas
ured. 1t is done by means of gauge.
There are various kinds of gauges.
costing from about 12s. Cd. up to sew
eral pounds. The "Snowdon" gauge is
considered a very trustworthy appar-
atus.
1t consists of long circular metal
galvanized iron or copper-reservoir,
which is fixed into the ground by
means of four wooden spiked stakes.
1t contains glass bottle and a metal
funnel At the side of it. also fixed
into the ground by means of spiked
stake, is a graduation glass, which will
to half an inch.
The rain is caught in the funnel,
which fits flush with the reservoir, and
passes into the glass bottle. From this
1t is poured into the graduation glass
and SO measured.
At Camden Square (the headquarters
of the association there is very elab-
crate and ingenious gauge, which
measures and registers automatically.
The rain is caught in funnel and
passes into metal cup. which Is con-
nected with an index. AS the cup fills,
it presses upon the index, which marks
line upon paper form wound around
a cylinder.
When the cup Is full 1t turns over
and empties Its contents into Y larger
receptacle and returns to its former
position, the index having registered
exactly one inch and shifted its posi-
t!on ready to repeat the operation. At
the same time dial on the outside Of
the gauge also marks the working of
the index. The former can be read at
night by ~means of a lantern which Is
attached at the side. So that the depth
of a rainfall may be ascertained at
once by merely glancing at the dial
fixed to the gauge.
Another remarkably ingenious con-
trivance to be found at Camden Square,
and which took years to perfect, is an
elaborate apparatus which will stimuli
taneously measure rain, snow and hail,
and register them. 1t will also register
thunder, lightning and the rate of the
wind. 1t gives the duration of thunder
claps and the number of lightning
flashes. 1t is altogether most won-
derful invention.
The average rainfall in a locality is
very useful knowledge to u farmer who
contemplates purchasing land In dis
trict he Is unacquainted with.
