CAPE GODS CRANBERRIES.
Picking Machines Doing Away With
Human Activities in the Boes.

TO see the best advantage the prelm-
mares of cranberry sauce we must visit
Cape Cod that elongated bit of land
whereby the state of Massachusetts eN-
tends crooked and beck oning finger
into the atlantic. Here within a radius
Of an hours ride of historic old Ply
mouth. where the pilgrims landed, is the
greatest Of all cranberry districts. This
whole countryside would not be consd-
cred to make more than a single good
sized county in some of our western
states, and vet in season when it is
blessed with a good crop this cranberry
zone VIII ship more than a third of Il
million barrels of the fruit
The picking season in the early au-
tumn is the time to enjoy the human in
terest side of the cranberry industry and
yet conditions in this phase of the work
have changed so completely during the
past few years that natives who come
back to the cranberry country. after
some years in the city. declare that the
spectacle has lost some of its old-time
Fascination. Students of progress declare
that the entry of machinery has revou-
tionized almost every activity in this age.
but it would be difficult to find a realm
where there has been a greater upheaval
than in the cranberry belt"
In the old days cranberries were all
picked by hand-that is. plucked one by
one, just as raspberries are picked to
this day. And nowhere did picking
season" have the social significance that
it did on Cape Cod. A large portion of
girls and it seemed as though the whole
countryside turned out for the event.
Hand picking is yet in vogue on' some
of the cranberry boys, but this is on the
smaller tracts. On the large boys we see
the newly invented picking machine.
There are two types. One is a small
wooden box of a size TO be held in .one
hand. BY pressure of the fingers it
opens at one end, disclosing jaws armed
with rows of teeth. The other STYLE is Il
wooden scoop with close-set iron pron$s
forming the lower side.
1t never fails to surprise tourists who
visit Cape Cod for the first time to find
ii large foreign population, which has no
parallel anywhere else in the country
and most of whom speak very little or
no EnSllSn. Many OIL the cape VERDE
islanders are true nomads in their visits
to the cranberry country. arriving in the
spring when cultivation on the hogs
opens and remaining until the end of the
picking season late in the autumn, max
ing the trip both ways in sailing vessels
that are engaged during the winter
months in the coasting trade on the
coast of Africa. A skilful cranberry
picker can earn from So to s. per day. so
that the ''bravaS,' as these invaders are
called. can within few years save
enough to live in affluance in their island
home Under the new conditions not on

by the aid of machines. but other ma

CHEAP TOBACCO IN MEXICO.
No Internal Revenue and Leaf Grows
Very Freely.


'The cheapnesi of tobacco in Mex
lco. SAID the man who had been there
is almost the first thing upon which
the visitor remarks. He cannot I'M
dCrStand how il is possible to get an
excellent cigar for five cents Mex.
W''lfh IS 2ta cents in our money. but
when he decides to try one at that
price he finds that it is every bit as
good as the average 10 cents straight

"Th" explanation lies i'm the fact
that the Mexican government does not
collect internal revenue on domestic
tobacco. Production is free as tar as
any tax is concerned. and the leaf
grows 50 abIndantly that prices on

obtained at five cents Tho boxes

cigarettes ar" rolled. 1t is seldom

in coarse paper, which is not ever
gummed down, a twist at each end
being sufficient to keep the tobacco to-
gethcr.
I'm order to protect the domestic
product the government places an al
together prohibitive duty on foreign to-
baccc. A five-cent bag of cheap Am
erican smoking mixture costs the
equivalent of Il cents in Mexico. The
duty is four cents an ounce. as evil

colored ribbons; for the bridegroom, blue

Next came the exchange of rings and
the Zoroastrian benediction according to

as follows:
