Prospect of m Unprecedented Export
to Germany.

The prospect of an unprecedented export
of American dried prunes, apricots, peaches
and pears, as well evaporated apples
and raspberries to Germany this autumn
and winter is exceedingly bright, says
Consul General Mason at Berlin, provided
the crop in the United States is sufficiently
plentiful to furnish large supply at rea-
sonable prices. He says that the popu-
larity of American dried and preserved
fruits in Germany has steadily increased
from year to year, by reason of heir rela-
tive cheapness and unrivaled flavor and
excellence. 1t appears that California
prunes are rapidly supplanting the fine but
expensive French product. well the
low grade Bosnian prunes, In the German
market, and there is nothing in that mar
ket that can successfully compete with
the dried pears and peaches and evaporat-
ed apples from the United States. Ameri-
can exporters are naturally gratified at the
discontinuance of the tedious and annoy
ing inspection of dried fruits at the Ger
man frontier, and that the way is now
open to an unrestricted trade. The from
tier inspection instituted pre-
caution against supposed danger of the in
PRODUCTION of the San Jose scale.
Consul General Mason says that the sup
ply of dried American fruits last year was
insufficient to meet the demand of the Ger
man market, but that large contracts have
been made this year by American mer-
chants Who after attending the Paris ex-
position visited the principal cities of Ger
many and personally offered their products
to the more important dealers.
The inspection of fresh fruit will still be
maintained at the frontier, but, the con-
sui general thinks. in a fair and liberal
spirit. He calls attention to the fact that
heretofore most of the cases Of San Jose
scale have been found among the highest
and most expensive class of apples, such
as are wrapped in tissue paper and put up
in boxes for family and hotel use. and
that such infection has rarely been detect
ed in the common grades of apples, which
are packed loosely in ordinary barrels.
This probably results from the fact that
the choicest American apples come from
districts infected by the scale. while the
states along the northern frontier-New
York, Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa
which produce the common apple, are gen.
orally free from that disease.

appears on one side or another, the last

1t is very mixed up kettle Of
fish and no one seems to be satisfied with
the course of the proceedings. Mr..

KEEPS LODGERS GUESSING.
chine Helps In Collection of Hoard
Bills, Hut Has Its Drawbacks.

About the latest thing in slot ma
chimes is the 'quarter-in-the-slot gas
meter. The head of the house who
gled contrivances is never bothered
with gas bills, for he must, of neces-
sity, pay cash for all the gas he gets.
He drops his quarter into a hole in a
box connected by rather delicate
bit of mechanism with the meter, and
then he lights his gas stove and his
gas bracket, and the jets burn away
merrily until 25 cents worth of gas
has been consumed, and then there is
a sudden and Egyptian darkness. says
the Chicago Tribune.
The scheme has it's drawbacks.
Sometimes the gas goes out at mid
night. when there is party on, and,
though The host have n pocketful of
500 bills but no quarter in change,
he and his guests may whistle for
their light.
There is boarding house on Wash
ington boulevard where the boarders
who are not in arrears for room and
food are threatening to leave unless
the quarter-in-the-slot machine be
turned out and one of the old time
"work-day -and-night-and -never-restp
meters be put in its place. The landlord
isarestless sort of spirit, and forgetful
to degree. He has habit of going
downtown and staying till late at
night. As rule, the gas goes out
about three hours before his return.
Then one of the servants goes to
every room with a tallow dip. She
is under orders, however, from the
proprietor, to go first to the rooms of
those who have forgotten to pay their
board. to see if she can raise the price
of new gas supply. Failing in this.
the tallow dips are brought into use.
The worst feature of the whole
thing is that, when the gas gives out
in the middle of the night, and the
proprietor is prevailed upon by some
of the might owls" to chip in quar-
ter for new stock. it is necessary
to wake up every soul in the house
to see if anyone has gone to bed
leaving the gas lighted. Asphyxiation
would speedily follow if this were the
case when the new quarter went into
the slot. The new machine is war
ranted to keep dodgers guessing-and
moving.
