Paper wr.prer. For Fruit.

The influence OF paper wrappers on
the keeping qualities of apples in any
kind of storage is well known by all
who have kept fruit both with and
without wrappers. Experiments do not
indicate that any special wrapper is
superior TO another. but the use of
some soft paper for the inner wrapper
is usually practiced. This is generally
a tissue paper. but imprinted newspa-
per is very satisfactory. For the sec
ond wrapper paraffin paper Is the
most desirable. Sometimes third
wrapper of common newspaper Is used.
and for large specimens thin layer of
excelsior between the second and third
wrappers Is sometimes used.

His Last Hope Realized.

From the sentinel, Gebo, Mont.
In the first opening Of Oakland to
settlers in 1889, the editor of this pa
per was among lie many seekers after
fortune who made the big race one
fine day in April. During his travelling
about and afterwards his camping up
on his claim, he encountered much
bad water, which, together with the
severe heat, gave him a very sever
diarrhoea which it seemed almost i'm
possible to check, and along in June
the case became so bad he expected to
die. One day one of his neighbors
brought him one small bottle of CHAM
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy as a last hope. A big dose
was given him while he was rolling
about OIL the ground in great agony,
and in a few minutes lhe dose was re
peated. The good effect of the medi.
cine was SOC noticed and within an
o u the patient was taking his first
sound sleep for a fortnight. That one
little bottle worked a complete cure,
and he cannot help but feel grateful.
The season for bowel disorders being
at hand suggests this item. For sale

for the lady he wished to interview. 1t
was after nine o'clock. and the cur
few had warned all children from the
streets on penalty of being arrested
and locked up.
The questions the reporter asked
the lady were impertinent but inn
