The following is the government S
summary of the Arkansas crops for
the past week:

the forepart of the week, has i'm
proved the general condition of crops,
but owing to previous rains farmers

to work them out, and crops generally
are weedy Cotton planting is about
completed. The late planted is COM
ing up to good stands, and chopping
out has begun, but is not general. AS
a whole cotton has made fair progress,
but in many fields the plant is small
and the color poor, and worms are
niurng il in some localities. Work
ing out is quite general, and some
of it has been worked twice.
Wheat and oats are improving, but
do not promise full crop. Some rust
is reported in the wheat.
Irish potatoes are doing very we'll,
and promise good yields. Bugs are
reported in some sections. Gardens
are late but are doing very nicely.

Medart was master mechanic on 8 Kentucky railroad, and his one hobby was politeness. On every occasion he would dwell upon the benefits to be de- rived from ordinary politeness, and he cited cases where many young man had bettered himself by observing the rules of courtesy, relates the Louisville Courier-Journal.
 One day the door of his office was thrown open with bang, and young man burst upon him with: "Is this Me- darts officer"
 "Yes, 7 was the reply in tone that de- noted extreme surprise.
 "Is this Medart?' asked the stranger.
 Yes; what can do for you?"
 ''I want a job.' Medart drew himself up with dignity and asked: Young man, do you think that you approach man in the right way when seeking employment? Sit down, and will show you how to come into mans ofice.'
 The young man sat down and Medart walked out into the hall, closing the door after him. A minute later he knocked and was bidden to enter. As he came in the door he removed his hat and politely asked:
 "Is this MT. Medart's officer"
 "Yes,'' was the reply "
 "Is this MT. Medart?'
 'tYes,'' replied the young man; what can do for you?"
 ''I am seeking employment, and, hear ing that you had a few vacancies, came to see if you could find an opening for me, was the M. M. s res. ,nse.
 The young man rose from his seat without word, and walked out in the hall, and, knocking, duplicated the per- formance of the master mechanic. When Medart said: What can I do for you?" his eyes showed that he appreci- ated the efforts of the pupil, and when the man seemed embarrassed, he. re- peated: What can do for your"

tic fruit and vegetables grown and canned in California
 Yet the center of the canning industry is Baltimore, where more vegetables and fruits are canned than in any other city in the world The season for both vege- tables and fruit is longer in Maryland than in any of our states; and the can ming products rotate the year round, the climate being so favorable for both rais- ing products and packing the imported crops. The canneries put up oranges and pineapples in the spring, fruits and vegetables in the summer, peaches in au- tumn, clans, oysters and crabs in the winter Tn Maryland as well as in Cali [ fornia the canned tomato is an impor- tant output from the factories. Tn addi- tion to the usual canned goods, factories in this state put up beets, greens in gen. eral, sweet potatoes, sauerkraut,i and pretty nearly everything edible. The value of the canned product of Mary land is over $11 ,O00 ,0OO yearly.
 The canning of vegetables is com paratively recent industry. It began to come into prominence in 1856, in con- nection with Dr. Kane's Arctic expe- dition, when the experiment was made fpreservingfor the voyagers fish, meats and vegetables, as we'll as fruits. Those early methods seem very crude to-day, e Over 5o0,000,0 ,000 cans of vegetables and fruits are handled by the packers every year. The states having the largest number of establishments and furnish ing the greater part of the output are California, Maryland; Illinois, Indiana, New Jersey, Ohio, Delaware, Iowa and Maine; the value of the yearly product ranging from something over $13,O0O,- 900 in California to something over $1,- 900 ;000 in Maine. @ t, @,

Back in 1795, the French government offered a prize for the best method of preserving foods, and this prize was won by one Appert, who used glass ves- sells in hiss process. Then an English man taught the world to use tin cans in place of tho jars, and finally the Yankee put his wits at work and pro- pelled the canning industry to it's pres ent improved form. To-day, as a con- sequence of the progress in this indus try, foods of far countries are to us all as everyday matters, and one of sur prising cheapness.

 Very large hats, quite beyond the di- mensions of those worn last season, are to be exploited through the August sea son at Newport. So picturesque are they that only at full dress functions are they to be in good form. They are far too unmanageable and conspicuous for driving at parade hours, but of course that will not deter a certain number from wearing them in spite of obstacles. Nothing in the line of hats is more becoming than those with so called moderate brims, not exaggerat- ed in any way, yet larger of brim than the hats worn last season strictly for the same purpose.
 Short ostrich tips are much seen up- on hats worn by those who have re- gently arrived from the other side. These tips curl downward in twos and threes from the undersfde of the hat brim, such brims being moderately wide, but no more. For crown trim ming are two feathers of moderate length, with twists or choux of crape, lace, net, loutsine or some such soft, light material. These feathers are often in two different colors as, well as in shaded tones from dark toSpale tints.
 Small apples, green as we'll as red ones, with foliage to soften their out lines, are smart hat trimming upon very deep yellow straw toques, and are much admired when worn with pongee suits. Very pretty, too, are green and purple plums, and now and then small toy oranges are well managed as hat trimming. Vogue. ". ri
