HIRAM DART'S REFUSAL.
tVbr Urn Old Kot Marry tha Ckamlat
Widow Dnoe.
Wbon old Hiram Dart was in bit seventy-fifth
yenr, the faithful old wife
wbo hail bcn his companion for a full
half century, inckened and died, and,
to the Furprifo and amusement of his
rural neighbors, old Hiram set forth in
I
arch of another wife before Hannah,
his first upoufie. bad been six weeks in
her prave.
He made no secret of the fact that he
wan "in tbe market" and seemed sur
prised tbat tbe bidders were so few. He
attributed this fact to the pcneral lack
of taste and judgment in tbe "wimmen
folks" of the present day.
"Tluy're a finicky let anyhow," said
old Hiram, "an it comes o' this fool
new wimmen idee."
One dny old Hiram drove by a neigh
bor's bouse nil "rigged up" in his Sun
day best and with a bine satin necktie
forming a marked contrast to the big
red geranium in bis buttonhole. He
tarrird for a moment :tais neighbor's
gale ucd frankly confessed that be was
"goin a Fparkiu. "
The object of this amatory visitation
was the Widow Breese, who lived "over
Hebron way." and with whom old Hi
ram was wholly unacquainted. Some
rue had, in a spirit of either malice or
mischief, nade old Hiram believe that
the Widow Breese, a robust, well to do
woniau cf about CO, would be inclined
to look with favor cn Hiram's suit
"An it wcu't bo no harm done to go
an see her anyway." said Hiram, as he
drove away.
It was nearly dark when Hiram reap
peared, far lusa buoyant than when he
w ut away. His neighbor was on tbe
lockout, und, hailing the old man, bo
said:
"Well, Uncle Hiram, did tho Widow
Bree?e refuse yon?"
"Not much she didn't," retorted Hi
ram spiritedly. "I refused her."
"Yen mused her? Why, what do
you u.it:n. Undo Hiram?" -
"3dan jets what I hay. I refused tbe
old !(i rattyint.cnt !"
"V!:v. Ui.de Iiiram. is that a re-i-t(l..i;
v. ay to sj iak about a lady?"
.i i.:uy: Humph, great lady old
Ja::.- Kiii.-e j--! You call a woman a
"lai.y'who Mills into a feller with a
t:- i t:..:i k aii calls 'i:u 'an olo fool' an
fcii ii ill..- names?"
'U.lI Mi.-. Hrtese.do that?"
"fche jest did. 1 guess she'd got wind
that I was ccniin, for I'd hardly iuter

GREAT GRAPE INDUSTRY.
Tlir Shore of like hautanqtuk 8apply
Half tlio f onntry.
The management of tho vineyard is
an iuterestiiig study and one which to
be successful requires technical knowl
edge. In tho large vineyards, as a rule,
the owner himself gives personal super
vision to i very detail, fc-ometimea a
manager cr overseer performs these du
ties. One of the largest growers in this
section tells me that the most successful
grower is tho foreigner, who, with his
family cf eight or ten, comes and leases
or buys i'i or 50 acres of laud, each
member of the family having his or her
part in tbe wcrk to perform from spring
until picking time, wbilo the wiDter is
devoted to the making of the baskets.
Thus no outsido expenditure is incurred,
and when the grapes are sold the pro
ceeds return to the family as the profit
on tho individual labor of each member,
quite in contrast with the largo owner,
who is compelled to hire help to do each
little thing in addition to buying his
baskets.
Tho Concord grape is the only variety
of any consequence raised in this region,
and some idea of tho magnitude of the
business carried on may bo had when it
is kuown tbat tho shipments for one
year from Chautauqua county alone
will amount to 8,000 carloads, 8,000
baskets of 10 pounds each in each car.
Those are taken from the grower by
somo one of the numerous growers' as
sociations, whose business it is to find a
market. Strange ns it may seem, it is
nevertheless true that three-fourths of
them go to points west of Chicago, while
tho other one-fourth travels eastward.
The making of baskets is a:i impor
tant item. Many factories are employed.
Tho price ranges from 2 to 22 cents per
basket. Thus the grower who would find
bus business iu any way profitable must,
in addition to the cost of tbe basket,
realize at least 1 cent per pound for his
grapes, while td'.y it is a common
thing to find a tea jou;.J basket cn the
retail market slow salo at 10 cents.
Thus we find that the utmost care must
be taken iu the management of a vine
yard to make it profitable. Chautau
quan. Her Trust la Sisn.
An efficient but illiterate domestic
servant was Lrought into serious but
happily net fatal danger by her undue
confidence in tho deductive system of
reasoning. This woman, being unable
to reud, had long been accustomed to
discriminate between the different va
rieties of canned vegetables which her
employer supplied not by the names
printed on tbe labels, bnt by tbe pic
tures which they bore. This plan served
well enough for kitchen needs, and it
was only when she tried to combine it
with ber belief in the homeopathic doc
trine of like cures like thut trouble re
sulted. The woman suffered from rheu
matism, and one rainy day, when
her aches were especially 6evere, she
came across a bottle labeled with a
few written words and a print of skull
and cronsbonea. Immediately she rea
soned ont that the bottlo contained a
medicine for complaining bones, and
she proceeded to take a heroic dose of
its contents. Two doctors and a stom
ach pomp saved the woman's life, bnt
she no longer sees unity of design in
the universe, and her trust in logic is
gone forever. New York Times.

New York. August 16. The cotton
market opened easy at a decline ol 39
points and further declined 38 poiots
under very weak cables, showing a eet
loss of 45 points at Liverpool, eea
erally bearish crop accounts and Neill
Bros.' estimate. The market was more
or less unsettled throughout tbe session
The failure of William Mxbael oa tbe
Cotton Exchange and tbe Coffee Ex
change was announced without apprec -able
effect on tbe market. Beneficial rains
in Texas were tbe leading features of tbe
crop news. In the the afternoon tbe
course of tbe market showed a more
conservative feeling, through fears tbat
tbe bears had oversold themselves.
Prices reacted partially on covering and

duced to 49 points. Total sales 128,
