CONCERNING A CANNERY.

Would it not be wise for the
farmers residing near Berryville
to take up without delay, the sub
Ject of establishing a cannery at
this place. Growing vegetables
for purposes of canning, as a
matter of profit, has passed the
experimental stage. 1t is being
done In many parts of the state,
and that too when the farmers are
not so favOrably situated for it as
3. - the people of Clarke.
In the county of Botetourt there
are a number of canneries, and we
are informed that the neighbor-
hoods in which they are established
wear an air of thrift and prosperi-
ty in striking contrast with the
sections in which the old time
practice of growing wheat and corn
prevails.
There is no better soil than that
around Berryville for growing
tomatoes and sweet corn. We are
In close proximity to New York
Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Wash

with the South. The market is a.

bountiful, the element lacking i,
enterprise. Can we not summon

MERRY MEALTIMES.
The Table No Place For Fault Find

Has 1t ever been your lot to sit at n
table with a group OF young folks who
ate the meal i'm silence or, with a few
constrained remarks, looked askance at
the head of the family before ventur-
ing on any remark? I have seen such
a sight on more than one occasion.
Doctors have told us over and over
again OF the beneficial results arising
from n meal eaten with a contented
frame Of mind and with cheerful sur
roundings; but. sad 10 say. there are
many households where each meal IS
a constant scene OF pickering, nagglng
and fault finding.
This is not only the case where there
are young children, who require n
reprimand occasionally for careless
ness. but am speaking OF those homes
where the girls and boys are well into
their teens Wrong is that parent, ell
Their father or mother who chooses the
hour when all are assembled round
the table TO mention some half forgot

II any trivial thing has been done
wrong or any duty omitted wait until
dinner or tea Is over before you scold,
blame or reprimand. Let the food
which God gives us for the purpose OF
nourishing and sustaining our bodies
have the opportunity Of accomplishing
that end. which cannot be the case IL
every mouthful is swallowed with Ell
Their n sarcastic word or an uncompn-
mentary remark. More Indigestion,
nervousness and other arrangements
are caused by the too common fault OF
uncomfortable mealtimes than many
people would suppose and II is our

TO remember, TO make those hours OF
the day cheerful and agreeable TO the
children and TO set them an example
which you would be the first TO notice

BIT OF FRENCH HISTORY.
An Empire Lost For Want OF the
Right Sort OF Riding Habit.

An Empire Lost For Want OF the
Right Sort OF RtdinE Habit.
An old legend which makes no pre-
tense TO truth tells how a kingdom was
lost for want Of n horseshoe nail. But
n volume of sober historical and bio
graphical purpose. written by Count
dHerrison. makes II appear that the
Empress Eugene. after the battle Of
Sedan. lost the chance TO preserve the
empire Of her husband by not possess
ing exactly the right sort OF riding
habit. 1t was the evening OF Sept 3.
1870.
The news OF the surrender of the
French army and of the Emperor Ma
poleon at Sedan had spread about Par
is. The city was excited. and there
was talk OF a revolution and the ban
ishment OF the imperial family. At
this juncture Emile de Girardin. a man
who was trusted by the empress and
who had had no little experience dur
ing the previous changes Of govern
ment. arrived at the palace OF the TUT
leries. III your majesty were 10 appear

pie" Girardin said. land announce the
abdication Of the emperor i'm favor OF
the prince imperial. your own assump-
ton OF the title OF empress regent and

minister, the empire might be saved.
Something must be done TO turn the
tide"
The empress accepted the advice. But
when this leader OF the worlds fashion
sought for n proper costume for her
performance Il could not be found.
The only riding habit in the Tuileries
was n fantastic one Of green. embroid-
cred with gold and silver. made for a
festal hunting occasion. and the hat
was n not less fantastic three cornered
affair OF the epoch OF Louis Quinze.
The empress felt that Il would not do
20 appear in this garb on such an occa-
sion. Her appearance In il might have
the opposite effect upon the people
from that which she intended. The
plan had to be given up. the empress
and the prince imperial were banished
and the Napoleonic empire was at an
end
