CucumI,cra Are Ancient.

Few garden plants have been known

the cucumber. DE Can'lulle has proved
that this plant has been in cultivation

There Is 10 specific remedy for the

cations OF poisons. such as paris green
or other nrscnical, will destroy the
beetles when they occur In moderate
numbers. \ normal crop may be

cents to MS much us 81 per basket.

LIVE WIRE CAUSES
SMALL PANIC.

Car No. 1043 of the Eddy street line
was turning into Market street on it's
way to the ferry yesterday afternoon
when a team hitched to a high der
rick came along and started to cross
it diagonally. Before it got over the
tracks an iron arm of the derrick
snapped one of the electric feed wires
overhead. and the live end set fire to
the woodwork More than a hundred
persons were on the car and a wild
scramble for the street ensued. All
alighted without injury and We're
watching the derrick blazing when the
live wire began to get animated and
wriggle toward the sidewalk
The passengers scurried toward Mar
ket street out of its way. but passing
horse drawing a dray came in contact
with it and was knocked down. The
driver of the dray was also thrown
from his seat.
The sputtering wire in the mean
time snapped back to the derrick,
which was soon cracking in blue fame
again. 1t continued to burn until car
No. 1893 of the Eddy street line, on
its way up town, backed up to the
derrick and freed 1t from the live wire
by the aid sof it's pole. Buck Hanson,
negro who had been seated on the
derrick when it cut the wire, was
thrown into a pile of sand but was not
hurt. Cars on the line were blocked
for about six minutes by the accident.
