CANNED PRuNEs.

Those who have had opportunity to
pick the full ripened prune off the tree
state that it possesses. q delicious quail
fly and favor which are wanting in the
dry product Of commerce. In this con-
nection considerable interest is felt
both by growers and consumers of
prunes lin some experiments which
have been lately conducted in the can
ming of the fresh prune, as is done so
extensively with apricots, pears and
peaches. Some Of this canned product
was sent to the Philippine Islands, re-
turned to the factory which put it up
and found to be in perfect condition.
This keeping quality of the prune when
put up fresh is a matter which seems
to have been in considerable doubt.
Now. however, that the point has been
determined it is quite likely that prunes
will be extensively canned. 16al3.f ]

ORIGIN of MYTHS.

The human mind. I whether that of

naturally a thinking machine. In early
times, before science was born, the
phenomena of nature required an ex-
PLANTATION, and the savage beholder
shaped the myth, which, satisfied his
untutored mind. 1t is out of mans
natural craving to know the treason
why" that all myths are born. AS
the distinguished anthropologist, Tylor,
puts it, when the attention Of a man
in the myth making stage of intellect
is drawn to any phenomenon which
has to him an obvious. reason, he in
vents and tells a story to account for
it, In such way. all mythology orig

DEBT SOMETIMES JUsTIFIABLE

Any young man of enterprise energy
and sound health is justified in going
into debt for reasonable amount, de-
pending somewhat upon his own ca
pacity and the opportunity which may
offer for digging out. In case he is
married much will depend upon the
disposition and strength of his wife,
who, whether he will or no.. is bound to
share a portion of, the responsibility as
we'll as the work incident to mourning
the obligation. Of course this advice is
only for young men of determination,
earnestness and sobriety. Chaps of
any other type are likely to fare better
if they stay out of debt, as will also
those on whom they might be inclined
to borrow. @Le.-s l..f.f.

immigrants from the countries of

himself to be a state dairy inspector.

it,, but to sell them for whatever be
could get for shipment out Of the

what had been done, came along to

had any cows for sale. The farmer

posedly diseased animals. When he
learned few days later that the whole
business was a fake pure and simple
the dictionary was entirely inadequate
