A Farmers Cannine FACTORY.

Two miles east Of this place Lewis j.
Hooke is conducting a novel canning
factory on his farm. A few weeks ago
he conceived the idea of preparing to
care for the surplus tomatoes on his
place on little larger scale than is
usual on the farm. Accordingly he fit
ted up an old barn on the premises with
a scalding and cooking tank, a solder
ing furnace and a few other conven-
iencs to make the work more speedy
than the usual household method.
He Immediately enlarged on his first
ideas and advertised to buy his neigh
bors' surplus tomatoes in any quantity,
from a bushel up, and soon had num-
Der OF people bringing in their fruit.
Mr.. Hooke's entire family has engag-
ed in the work. His daughters. Esta,
Effie, Clara and Anna, with their sis
ter-in-law, Mrs. G. w. Hooke, have
done the peeling and filing of the cans.
Mrs. Hooke has been the overseer OF
this department and the tomatoes have
been as carefully prepared as if they
were for their own table exclusively. c.
w. Hoole, the eldest son, attends to
soldering the cans and thoroughly in
spects every one. Mr.. Hook himself
looks after the general details of the
business, buying the tomatoes and
keeping everything in order.

The readers of this paped will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure IS
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh, being
a constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing it's work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers, that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list

Green Caunly,s sensation.

Catskill, N. Y, November 10TH
Ulster and Greene Counties are ringing
with the news of the wonderful recov-
cry of George F. Ayers, who lives at 16
Division St., in this city. One year ago
Mr.. Ayers was suffering from Brights
Disease of the Kidneys and the doctors
gave him little relief and less hope. To-
day Mr.. Ayers is as we'll as man could
wish. He tells the following story:
about year ago 1 was at West
Camp, sick with Bright's Disease and
without hope Of ever being better,
when an old gentleman from Bath, N
Y, advised me to take Dodd's Kidney
Pills, telling me they had cured him of
the same disease.
81 had tried so many remedies that |
was past hoping and told him so, but
when he brought me box of Dodd's
Kidney Pills and coaxed me to try
them l did so just to humor his whim.
THAT was the means of saving my
life. I took that box and half a dozen
more. Thanks to that old man and
Dodd's Kidney Pills, l am cured"

Amusing incidents are frequently
happening on golf courses, and the
royal and ancient game has for years
been the butt for stage jokes. Dan
DAILY originated one here, then carried
it to the home of a game, where it was
appreciated, but the latest is well worth
recording. A golfer of the duffer per-
suasion once took friend-ignorant of
the game-down to the golf course to
csc him play. He teed up the ball, and
after the usual addressing, took his
swing without touching the ball. "It's
a fine game, golf," remarked the friend.
Again the golfer swung with the same
result Its a fine game" again re-
sponded the friend, but what's the use
of that little white ball?"

The Chinese have a curious legend as
to how the custom of throwing rice at
weddings originated. A famous scor-
cerer named chao became jealous of the
power Of another sorcerer, woman,
and, conceiving a plan to destroy her,
he persuaded her parents to bestow up
on her supposed son. The crafty Chao
chose the most unlucky day for the
wedding, the day when the golden
pheasant" was in the ascendant, so that
when the bride entered the red chair
the spirit bird would destroy her with
his powerful beak. But Peach blossom
gave directions to have rice thrown out
at the door, and she passed out un-
harmed while the spirit bird was de-
vouring it-New York Evening World.

Colorado celery is this year for the
first time being shipped East. From
an Insignificant business of a few years
ago it has developed to an enormous
industry. Three years ago such
thing as shipping celery to the Eastern
markets was unheard of. But few en-
terprising spirits decided to make the
experiment and were amply rewarded
for their efforts. The returns were so
large that the next year they shipped
nearly their entire crop East. Since
then. the business has developed rapid
", and this year WI be the banner
season of them all. Nearly twenty-five
cars have been shipped, and a conser-
vative estimate for the season would be
that not less than forty cars will be
shipped altogether. AS each car load
will easily average $4,000 pounds in
weight, it means that fully 100000
pounds of celery will be used for export
trade alone.-Denver News.

The raven of Southern Europe is a
bold fellow-not unlike his cousin, the
crow. Some notices of the bird, given
by an English traveller in Corsica, offer
amusing proof of this.
A youth whom 1 employed to carry

with any equanimity, for he had suf-
fered much from their thieVish impu-
dence when sent to the bush to gather
frewood.
On one occasion he lost his dinner, a
loaf of bread wrapped in napkin, al
though he was working close to the
spot where he had laid it and had turn
ed his back for only a minute.
But the most objectionable insult he
had ever received happened on day
when he was out gathering wood. AS
be was STOPPING down to bind a bundle
Of fagots a raven suddenly swoOped
from behind, lifted the cap from his
head and flew away with it to lofty
crag, from which she uttered croaks
of triumph.
The cap was subsequently seen lined
with straw and serving for nest.
