CHICAGO LIKES PICKLE DIET
Western Metropolis Has Become the
Largest Consumer in the
United States.

That Chicago is becoming the greatest
pickle eating community in the United
States is a claim made by the Tribune.
1t is said that inside the city limits is
one of the most extensive pickle works
In the world, that in the matter of acres
in cucumbers and onions, the number Of
hands employed and the variety Of goods
Of this character there is nothing to
beat 1t. But the country districts are
fast gaining in this business, especially
in the growth of cucumbers. Some of
the big wholesale grocers of the city art
establishing pickle houses in many off
ferent sections Of Indiana, Illinois and
Michigan. They make contracts with
the farmers to plant a certain number
OF acres, agreeing to take the entire
product at stipulated prices. A large
building is erected in such a community
and the woln of picking is carried on in
it. Farmers find cucumbers a profitable
crop. Last year a pickle factory was
established at Sycamore, H., and the
first crop has been an entire success.
One man took at n picking from an
acre and a half cucumbers that netted
him $24.87. 1t is estimated that there
are from Is to 20 pickings, SO that if the
balance of the crop turns out in proper
ton to the first picking, the land will be
found to be profitahly employed. The
city of Chicago and its suburbs is the
big marketf for this product, which shows
that people have a tooth for soul
things as well as for sweets.

TEMPERANCE BREvITIEs.

A sensible prohibition speaker, an
swering the old cry that to do away
with saloons will kill business and
begin the era of gra~ss-growing in the
streets, said: AT present prices it
would be better for the town to raise
more hay and less hell" AS the
saloon brings something of the latter
remark is wise in every sense.-Pitts-
burg Christian Advocate.
Mark Guy Pearse returns to Eng
land saying this about us: never
saw a woman in any public house in
Canada or the States. l never saw on
any table, or ever in the dining carr,
or in the hotels, a glass of beer, wine
or spirits. l never saw a drunken
man until | reached an English port.

When young Franz Vecsey, the H.
year-old violinist, played before Queen
Alexandra a week or two ago, Arch
duke Frederick of Austria asked If
he would like some champagne, and
lie said he was not allowed TO have
it. "Of course not" said the queen.
Come with me, Franz, and | Will
give you some oranges and as she
said so the wise queen handed him an
Grange. We should like the boy to
know that oranges are far better than
champagne.
One Frisnish, salooIkeeper, Bay

naldo, a customer, for the 'rice Of
a broken window. The police JUS
tice rendered the following decision:
"A saloonkeeper is at all times in
partnership with a man who becomes
drunk, and is partly accountable for
the actions of a man under the In
.iuence Of liquor. This is my view
of the matter, and for that reason
I think it best that you divide the
cost of the damage, and, in addition,
pay a fine of five dollars each"

Wheat - Wheat has ignored bear
