Saving tho Fruit.


There never is time. no matter
how great may be the fruit crop as a
whole, when some of us do not need to
exercise economy in our use of this
valuable addition to the food pro-
duets Of the country. And even when
we have all done our best, many folk
will be compelled to 90 without fruit
for the greater part of the year. 1t
stands all who are thus shortened to
make the most we can of the orchard
crop. Frequently we do not really
know what economy in this direction
is. On most Of our farms many bush
els of apples 20 to waste every year.
If the people who have no fruit could
get Il chance to use this surplus stock
how it would help them! In every
ncighborlood there are some such
families. Why should We not share
not wish to use, rather than let it
rot Then, too, the old fashioned
pairing bce' had its virtues. They
enabled us TO turn the surplus apples
which might otherwise rot into the
form of dried fruit to be used later,
when the winds of winter howl and
fresh fruit is scarce. Again, in pick
ing out fruit for use to-day, why not
select such rs will be spoiled to-mor-
row? Sometimes we are inclined to
laugh ut the man who cuts out the
docaycd spots in apples and uses them
to save them. There is really some"
thing commendable about this, when
we remember how glad some one will
he TO get the fruit we thus save. if
We ourselves are not when the season
grows old.-E. l.. Vincent, in New

What can we do aom2 We have learned
much. We can mitigate and modify all
diseases and many we can cure. A sick

affections are made that astonish the doc

And riches spring where idle feet have

CHICAGO STRIKE A PRECEDENT.
Labor Leader Wants the Govern
ment to Seize Mines.

New York, Aug. -. - President
Roosevelt has in his hands, according
to the World, plan submitted by Mar
tin Dolphin, former president OF the
International Order of Railway and
Commercial Photographers, by which,
Mr.. Dolphin thinks, the strike in the
coal fields could be ended. President
Roosevelt referred the proposition to
the attorney generals department and
it is now being considered by Mr.. Fl.
NJ. Hoyt. acting attorney general.
This plan is to have the government
exercise the right of eminent domain
and seize certain number of the mines
and operate them for the purpose OF
taking out all the hard coal required by
the government on the ships, various
buildings and for all other government
purposes.
The right of the government to inter-
vene in a strike which interferes in any
way with governmental functions was
proved, Mr.. Dolphin contends, by Pres
ident Cleveland action in the Chicago
strike of 1893. when he ordered out
United States troops to keep the strik-
ers from interfering with the transpor-
tation of the mails.
In the present case intervention of
the kind he advocates, he says, would
also break the backbone OF the strike
by forcing the operators to resume work
in all the mines.

SOUNDSHIP TRUST
SMALL VESSEL OWNERS FORM
ING A COMBINE.
One of the Most Important Steam
ship Deals on the Pacific Coast
in Many Years---Only One OBJ
stacle of Importance in the Way
of Its COnsummatiOn.

Seattle, Aug. 14.-What il said TO
be one of the most important steamship
deals ever proposed on Puget Sound has
just about reached its contamination,
and includes a consolidation of all the
vessels. composing the mosquito
fleet, which ply from this city to va
rious ports in the Sound district. The
deal itself will involve between 81, 900, :
600 and 50 800 900 and possibly more.
"a there is no way of accurately ascer-
tanning the proposed amount necessary
for the purchase of the large fleet OF
vessels.
Negotiations looking toward the alb
sorption of the Seattle steamers and
their operation under one management
and ownership have been under way for
weeks, but so quiet has the matter been
kept that not an irkling of it leaked
out until Wednesday.
Those who are reported to be inter
ested in this venture deny that they
have.any knowledge of such proposed
consolidation.
The only thing said to stand in the
way of the consolidation is the alleged
attitude of the Puget Sound Navigation
Company, OF which Mr.. Peabody is
president. 1t is understood that he is
holding out of the proposition for $500,
900 for his steamers. of which so per
cent is to be cash and so per cent is
taken out in stock of the new company.
The hackers of the proposed consolida-
ton are said to be willing to give $500,
600, 5000, 900 in cash and 5000, 900 in
stock. and if Mr.. Peabody accedes to
this the INCORPORATION papers will pro-
badly be filed Immediately.
The proposition made to all the
steamship men is practically the same,
an offer of half cash on a fair valuation
and half stock in the combine.
The money which is to back the con-
solidation comes from Hartman, the
New York banker and millionaire a
brother of f.. II. Hartman of the
Southern Pacific railroad
