Americans are the greatest drummers
in the world, and they make the finest
drums. Chicago and st. Louis have
large factories. but in these all kinds OF
drums are made, most of which are of
the cheap variety and low in price
There are only three factories in the
United States which make the kind OF
instruments manufactured in this city
These drums are distinct from the other,
in that they have a sharpness in tone
required only in orchestra and band
work. The drums that are used in CORPS

Study OF African Man.

The sociological character of African
man is of great interest 1t has not vet

novelties as they happened to meet. An
ihropophagy is extensively practiced By
some of the tribes near the equator, and

Jelly IN THREE MINUTES.
Product Speedily Obtained from Apples
in a Washington Orchard.

A. Won Holderbeke, state commissions,
of horticulture, has returned to Tacon,
from visit to Walla Walla. An inpor'
tant development of the fruit industry il
reported by the state commissioner
which is destined to be of great financial
help to the fruit growers OF the state.
The famous Blalock fruit farm of Wals
Walla county has demonstrated the prof.
itableness of making a highly salable
Jelly from the Gull of apples. This sea-
son Manager Macarthur imported a new.
ly-invented machine which does all tba
work automatically. Apples fed in ar
one end come out at the other in three
minutes Dy the watch as perfect ienv
and this without the use of any sugar az
all. The jelly is all sold ahead at 10
cents a pound. 1t takes seven pounds Of
apples 10 make one pound of Jelly, and
the machine is making 1000 pounds oe
the stuff each day, and therefore is using
1900 pounds Of apples. Says the Fruit
Commissioner:

This invention does away with all that
Even the best of orchards, such as the
Blalock, have quantities of culls left
over, this orchard having to my knowls

worked up. Farmers are shipping their
culls from distant regions TO the farm.

anything ever put on the market and
called jelly, saw run hot from the ma
