"What do you do with all that
."mil you're rarrj li? home?" Inquir
ed the proprietor in' the cigar atand.
"I see you with a crate about every
other day."
"I keep pigs." replied the regular
customer. "I find It hard work aome
tlmea to tempt their appetttea, but
they generally like a little fresh
fruit. The raspberries that I tried
them on yesterday seemed to please
them, so I thought I'd take 'em aome
more. Raspberries are fattening.
I'io, and give the pork a nice flavor.
You take a bog that's been fed on
raspberries "
"Oh, cut it out," said the cigar-
stand mnn. "Hut, honest, how
largo a family have you got?"
"Myself and the madam," replied
the regular customer. "She's pre
serving. When it comes to puttln
up fruit that's where the lady
shines. ,
"She puts up the fruit and yon
put up the money," suggested the
c gar stand man.
"That's the Idea," said the regular
customer. "I furnish tbe fruit and
the glass jars and the rubber band
and the sugar and pay the gaa bills
and she does all the rest. It's divi
sion of labor. Fine business."
"I don't believe It pays to put np
fruit," said the cigar stand man. "Wa
find It cheaper to buy what preserves
we ned. Just about as good, too."
"You must be rrajy," said the reg
ular customer. "Cheaper! Bay, all
these berries cost me Is 10 cents a
box, buying them down on the street.
It doesn't take me more than hoar
or so to go there and get 'em either
and the walking's good exercise
There's a little outlay for jars, of
course, but if you ran manage to
keep them they'll do to UBe again,
The sugar's a trifle. I can buy quite
a sack of it for a five-dollar bill."
"Well," said the cigar atand man,
"If you figure that up and your time
and your wife's time, how do you
stand then?"
"My wife's time really doesn't
count," said the regular customer,
"When she's busy preserving, which
Is most of tbe summer and fall, ahe
can always make a little time by
just throwing a snack of some sort
on the table for dinner Instead of
putting In an hour or so cooking a
meal. Think of having all kinds of
jams and jellies and preserves down
cellar all tbe year around. No ben
toate of soda and glucose dope, but
the pure article made from the real
fruit that you've selected yourself.
Plume, cherlea atrawberrlea, black
berries, raspberries, grapes, peachea
all kinds. Any time that you want
a pie there's the filling right on
hand or it would be on hand if we
kept It.".
"Eat It up about as fast aa you
make It, eh?"
"Give It away a little faster than
we make It," corrected the regular
customer. "That's tbe great trouble.
You see, my wife Is of a liberal dis
position, and she's proud of tbe Jel
lies ahe makes, so we don't get ao
much of a show at it ourselves. If
you came to the bouse, for Instance,
you'd get some raspberry preaervea
for supper. You'd naturally say that
it was the best that you ever taated
when the lady told you that she'd
make It herself. Then ahe geta all
swelled up over It and lnsista on your
taking homo a Jar to our wife. If
It's a relation that comes she'll get a
half dozen jars out, just as like aa
not. If the milkman makes aome
remark about the jelly looking good
enough to eat when he pokea hla
head In the kitchen he geta a jar
as well. If anybody gets sick lt'a a
Jar for them."
"What do you do It for, then?'
asked the cigar-stand man.
"A woman has got to amuse her
self some way," said the regular cus
tomer. "Putting up preaervea la
about as harmless and cheap aa any."

The difficulty a diver experiences
lu lifting weights beneath the water
la partly overcome by a new Italian
Invention, which haa been formally
adopted by that government. The
mechanism Is a diving auit, the artU

from tbe Inside by the wearer. The
leverage thus obtained enablea the
diver to lift objects heavier than he
could otherwise handle. In addition

In aplte of the roughness of the
country and the long days In the
addle stag hunting i'-s a sport which
seems to have always held an espe
cial fasrlnntf(n for wnmen.
In Miss Btrlctland's "Life of Queen
Elizabeth" we read that the virgin
Queen was so enthusiastic a stag
hunter that when the French Am
bassador came to dlM-urs the ques
tion of her union with Monsieur le
Due D'AIcncon. they were kept wait
ing three whole days, the Queen
having started "a large swift slag on
the morning previous to That ap
pointed for their audience; she pur
sued It all the day and till the mid
dle ot the night, and waa so greatly
fatigued In consequence that ahe was
compelled to keep to her chamber
all the next day."
The number of ladies who hunt
with tbe Devon and Somerset Stag
bounds during the three autumn
months are as the sand on the sea
shore. Innumerable, and every season
we see more and more feminine con
verts to the cross saddle. Whatever
the difficulties may be for most wo
men In obtaining a good grip when
Jumping asti'lde, there Is certainly
L uch to be said In favor of It on
Exmoor, the majority of women
aeemlng to find It less tiring than a
side saddle when doing -very long
daya, and those who let out hirelings
welcoming the Innovation as one
likely to reduce the number of sore
backs in their stables. From the

Well rnder.
Bad aa It la to be In a rut, It la
better than to wabble all over the
road. There are timce when It la
possible to get too much of a good
thing, even in the matter of denomi
national breadth. Such a case Is
mentioned by a writer in tbe Bell
man. At the close of a revival ser
vice the minister went down the
church aisle, according to his cus
tom, to greet the strangers in his
congregation.
"I don't think you are a member
of our church," he said to one, as
he warmly shook bis hand.
"No, sir," replied the stranger.
'Well, you will not think me un-
duly curious If I ask you to what de
nomination you belong?" asked the
minister.
"I supposed." responded the other,
with a twinkle In hla eye, "that I am
really what you might call a sub
merged Presbyterian."
"A submerged Presbyterian!"
claimed the minister. "I should be
glad If you would explain."
Well, I was brought up a Pres
byterian, my wife la a Methodist, mv
eldest daughter Is a Baptist, my son
is the organist of a Unitarian church.
my aecond daughter sings In an Epis
copal cnoir. and my youngest goes
to a congregational Sunday school.
But," said the minister, aghast,
'you contribute, doubtless, to soma
cnurcn? '
was me answer. "I con
tribute to all of them, and that's
wnat submergea me."

REASONS OF THK DMJOOI8T.
For Not Having la Stock the Thing
Called For by the Customer.
Drugglsta aie unaccountable folk
surely. The other day a man waa
looking for a certain patented article
and tried five drug Ftores in turn
In tbe same neighborhood before he
waa succeaaful. Naturally In the
atorea where he failed, the offer ot
something just aa good was made,
but that wasn't the thing that hit
him hardest.
In the aeoond store the drugglat
aid. "I did have that stuff In stock,
but I never had any call for It. The
only people who ever asked for It
were the agents of the company,
and they were around here all the
time to see If we had It in stock. So
I gave It up."
- In the next store, a block away,
the druggist said: "Yes, I did keep
that once, but when I ran out of the
drat supply I never could get the
company to send any more. I waa
looking out for the wagon all the
time, but for three weeks at a time
they never sent It np here, so I got
tired of waiting. Now I don't keep
It."
You can tie them, but you can't

Blushing a Sign of Sense.
Sir Arthur Mitchell, K. C. B., of
Edinburgh, who knows much that Is
strange about dreams, laughter and
other commonplace human eharac
teiiatlca, haa Just advanced the con
soling theory that blushing la an
achievement of which every one who
can blush should be proud.
He aaya It requires brains to
blush. Idiots cannot blush, neither
can animals. Sir Arthur calls atten
tion to the fact that tiny Infanta do
not blush, although they learn to at
an early age, Just aa aoon, In fact, aa
the brain begins to exercise its func
tions. In blushing, be says, the mind
always must be affected. It la. al
ways and only a bodily expreaslon
of mental atate. It la a natural
thing for a blusher to say that he
had tried not to blush. No Individu
al blushes of his own free will. The

ously and vanishes almost as quickly.
Neither for Its coming nor Its going
ia there any exercise of volition. It
la controlled, Blr Arthur aaya, solely
by the brain, and la a positive sign
that there la an active brain there.
CRuan IN FISHING,
Most Sporlemenllke Anglcera Carry
Uttle Batons to Kill Victim'.
Live bait ought never to be used.
T take a living minnow and thrust
a book through Ita back, and then to
Jerk It 60 or 60 feet through the air
in order that it may wriggle in agony
at the end of the line until It at
tracts aome other fish to swallow it.
Is about aa wanton a piece of cruelty
aa anyone could Invent, end un
sportsmanlike. The skilful fisher
man will uae a fly or aome other de
vice by which the fish be wishes to
capture may be deceived and caught.
The live minnow la the bait of the
blunderer, not of the expert.
Even experienced fishermen some
times commit another sort of cruelty
wnlch ought never to be practiced,
They think that their fish must be
kept alive as long aa possible, and
therefore run a atrlng through ita
gills and thro it overboard, to be
hauled after the boat.
This la aa foolieh aa it la cruel.
When the fish haa a atrlng through
its gills It cannot breathe. It la slow
ly strangled to death, and If It la
hauled through the water after the
boat It la almply drowned In Ita own
element. Fish; when taken, ahould
be immediately killed. That la the
only way to prevent needless suffer
ing, and we may add Ibat It Is the
best -ay to bring the fish home lo
good condition.
Our best fishermen now carry lit
tle batons or clubs and kill the fish,
as soon as taken from the water, by
a aharp blow on the back of tbe head.
LI notations of Practice.
In an Iowa town an action fot
ejectment was not long ago tried "by
tbe court without a jury," the ault
having been brought by a religious
society to recover possession of a
cemetery.
Tbe defendant, a physician In ac
tive practice, had bought the ground
for the use of the aoclety, but when
afterward be aevered hia connection
with the organisation, It waa dis
covered that be hid taken the title in
bis own name and evidently intended
to hold on to It.
After duly weighing the evidence.
the court ordered judgment for the
plaintiff, stating briefly the reasons
for the decisions. Whereupon de
fendant's counsel desired to be more
fully enlightened In the premises.
'Certainly," aald hla Honor. "In
addition to what I have already said,
there are but two other reasons. ,One
la that the church aeema to need a
cemetery and the other is that tbe
doctor baa failed to show that hia
practice s auracietttiy large to neces
sitate his maintaining his own bury
ing ground,"
