You should have representative hero

have few facts told about their work and
their heroism. few thrilling facts or a
touching story will do a great real toward
bringing the hearts Of your members into
touch with those who are working for
their Master on the frontier Alaska, the
Indians, the freedmen, the mountain whites
and the plain Americans, besides the mot
ley throng of foreigners which are crowdfng
our gates, have all their missionaries. The
field for this evening Is wide, and can
scarcely be covered in single hour, but a
few representatives, well chosen, are bet
ter than whole pages of statistics. After
a certain mission has been talked of, ask
some one to lead in prayer for that mission
and the men in charge of it. Emphasize
always the part we have in praying for the
workers. Ask the question, How can you
and I be home missionaries"

HOME MARKET FOR FRUIT,
Would Make the Most Out
of His Crops.

The days Of spring are lengthenine
and we will soon be putting different
kinds of fruit on the market. / wish
to say a few words to readers of the
Farmers Review relative to the SELL
ing of fruit, says an Illinois correspond
ent of that Journal. | have found that
the most satisfactory way to pack fruit
is to have it uniform throughout. This
is source of satisfaction to the seller
as well as to the buyer.
l always tried to watch my fruit and
have it packed at the time it is just
right for eating. AS | am selling fruit
in a small way, it is very easy to
do this. OF course, if were shipping
my fruit it would be impossible Then
the fruit, whether strawberries or
other kinds would have to be picked
while partly green.
| find it very easy to hold a market
against any outside fruit, as the latter
has to be shipped in from distance
and thus always lacks the flavor
of fruit ripened while still in contact
with the vine or twig on which il
grew. | think the surest way of max.
ing money out of fruit is to endeavoI
to compete with the shipped-in fruit
| can always get a considerable marking
over that kind of fruit This may
not seem much of a matter, but it is
really a great one. | get, say, five
cents for a box of strawberries when
the out-of-town berries are bringing
but four. That is an advance OF %
per cent, and in the course of a season S
settings it becomes a big item Besides
it is all profit.
sort the fruit so that all of about
the same size is in the same box OF
package. The smallest fruit is used
for canning or disposed of in some
way that will not injure the general
market. No unsound fruit is ever al
lowed to get into the packages. Most
of my selling is done throgh the 10.
cal grocers. 1t does not pay me to try
to carry on a retail business over theiI
heads, and | treat all alike, They have

D. Smead of Cincinnati, who worked
nearly three years on the drawings be-
fore they were even seen by others. The
rolling roadway is considered a Won
derful piece of engineering. About four
months are required to build such a
roadway.
At the top of the hill there is small
tower. 1t is from this point that the
electric power is applied. When the
wagons have been clamped to the road
way at the start the man in the tower is
notified by means of an electric signal,
and the roadway begins to move at the
rate of some four miles an hour. Once
at the top of the hill and upon the level
the machinery stops and the clamps
holding the wagons are lOosened Ten
vehicles can be placed upon the roadway

two cents toll is charged.
Since the completion of this roadway,
the railroads in the vicinity have be-
gun the erection of large warehouse,
and are planning to put in additional
team tracks. The activities in that
locality have more than doubled.
Another roadway of this kind is to be
built in the same city, at Mandrake
street. at cost of 100000. While the
first one is built along the grade of the
hill, this one will be suspended in the
air The street will be extended by the
building of an iron bridge, and the roll
ing roadway will be at right angle TO
this extension. There will be substan-
tial iron supports &C feet high and -
feet apart under the viaduct, and the
supports of the roadway will be the
same distance apart.
