A HEW FRUIT DRYEK
MR. EDITOR :—Tobacco is the first
and greatest money crop of this section
and driod fruit is generally believed to
be second is becoming larger and larger
evory year. As with tobacco, so with
fruit, the brighter it is cured the more
it is worth ; therefore 1 have a new
fruit dryer, for which 1 have just ob
tained Letters Patent, which 1 wish to
introduce to the publio. It is simplo
and cheap, easy to operate, aud has no
equal for drying bright, fancy fruit.—
Fruit dried with it retains all the suo
cbarino or sugfiry matter, and is much
sweeter and richer tb«o when dried by
any other process. For further partic

The Speed of Thought.
Ledger.
Many people have noticed the re
markable qaickness of thought in dream
ing, and how a long story, with many
details and extending over a great peri
od of timo, will flash through the mind
in a few minutes, but they seldom have
any means of even approximately meas
uring the quickness with which they
sometimes dream. There is now going
the rounds of tha press a story purport
ing to tell the dream of a railway engi
neer, which, if true, affords a means of
measurement, and the story itself has
every appearance of being a genuine
relation of experience. The engineer
bad been without sleep and on duty for
many hours, and at last fell asleep on
his post. Then he dreamed quite an
elaborate story of an accident resulting
from a confusion of train orders ; how
he studied over the words of the dis
patch, trying to make out their meaning,
aud then how, his train coming into col
lision with another, he was thrown into
the air and dropped back into his seat
in the cab with his hand on the throttle.
At that instant consciousness returned,
and he found that it was all a dream,
and that although his train van travel
ing at the rate of 4a miles an hour, it
bad gone only 250 feet wbilo the dream
was paamng through hia mind, this dis
tance being fixed by the position of the
train with respect to sigual lights on the
line. This is tho inteicsting part of the
story, for if these measurement* arc ap
proximately correct, the dream occupied
less than four seconds of time.

Wlieu he hsvd limped along to the desk,

"How Jong has jou been a member

He quit airnin' sl2 per week bckase
ho didn't waut to be oppressed. In a
month lie became a dead-beat. While
it am a serious offence for capitalists to
oppress labor, it am all right for a kick

nin' in debt an' stealin' his wood. A
few weeks ago Misser Spikeroot got

went to va'us laborin' men an' convin

When his wife wants shoes or his ohill'-

statement dat America am buildin' up

Everyone who would rise must be a

learned men without any grand thoughts
of their own. Everyone, whatever hi*
opportunities, can exert his own mental
powers upon what is near him, and tbia
force will increase with exercise. He
can observe and compare and reason for
himself; and, though bis knowledge may a
be limited, his ideas will grow. There
