In I'eiinaTlvanin.Ther Are Unlseil to l'erfeetlon ViiHer Glims ami nt Good 1'rofit. ' " r v "The tomato season is neaHy over, said a Washington market dealer, apol ogizing for the poor duality of his to matoes, says the New York Times. "But it's just beginning in Philadel phia," said the customer. "I always heard they were slow down there," replied the dealer, resurrecting the moth-eaten joke. "Slow in some things," said the for mer Philadelphian, "but aide to show New York a thing or two in tomatoes. Down there only the poor people eat tomatoes in summer. Then about Thanksgiving day the greenhouse? of Chester and Delaware counties begin to produce tomatoes such as you sel dom see in this market. "They are fine, smooth, perfectly ripened, and without any core. They are raised under glass, with scientific care of the vines, all the superfluous leaves bein-r plucked off o to pu: all the strength of the stalk into th? fruit. "Only two vines are allowed to grow from a single root, and they are sup ported on trellises. The vines last about six months, and sometimes reach a length of 40 or 50 feet and become as thick as grapevines. Branches are, plucked off, and they are kept hare of leaves ba-k of the point at which the fruit is forming. "The earth around the roots is re newed from time to time, and the vines are so trained that the fruit is exposed to the sun. The result is the produc tion of tomatoes such as you don't dream of here in New York, and the supply is kept up until June, when (ho outdoor crop begins to come in, and people who appreciate really fine to matoes stop eating them. "Every day from November to June these tonatoes come in car loads to the Philadelphia markets, and they are all disposed of there at moderate prices. Twenty cents a pound is the prevailing cost "These tomatoes never reach your New York commission houses, but your best hotels and reetaurants buy them in Philadelphia and have them sent on by express. "Your Long Island and New Jersey farmers will learn some day that there is good money in raising tomatoes in winter under glass." The receit agitation of the bouil leura 3 eru, or private dif-tillere, of France, against the proposal of M. Kouvicr, the minister of finance, to tax their franchise has disclosed the iuinieiiaQ. power vi thi vested interest among the peasantry.

Convicts serving terms in the various prisons of the country have one pri Urge people outside the walls do not enjoy. The commissioner of internal revenue has decided that it i- permissible for stats prisons to manufacture tobacco or cigars for its own lnmntf s without pay ing license. 'The commissioner says: "I would eay that up.o:i careful consid eration of the ouesTion involved, it is held that a charitable or other institu tion conducted by the state and under state authority, With its own operatives, ha3 the right to manufacture tobacco, cigars, or any other tobacco product without the payment of tax when all such manufactured tobacco is used ex clusively within the state institution. "The tobacco must, nowev er, be manu factured within the limits of the state institution, and no portion of it be re moved therefrom'. If any portion of such manufactured tobacco is found out side of the limits of the institution, it will be liable to seizure and forfeiture, the same as any other unstamped manu factured tobacco which might be found upon the market." FATE OF THE MINTING DIES. All Sent to Philadelphia at Close of Ywtvr and Deatroyetl In Presence of Officials. "All the United States mints forward to the mint at Philadelphia at the close of each year," said a former treasury of ficial, according to the New York Sun, "the steel die-s used in coining the vari ous denominations of gold and s:;lver coins for that year, and bearing its date, and the Philadelphia mint distrib utes to the branch mints at the same time the new dies for the coming year. All coinage dies are made at the Phil adelphia mint, but are returned there at the end of the year to be destroyed. "The dies arc round pieces of steel, three inches long, and sloping to the top on which is cut the face of the coin it stamps, with the date. The dies are col lected and taken to the blacksmith shop of the mint, where, in the pres ence of the superintendent, the coiner and the assayer, they are heated red hot in the forges and hammered out of shape with sledge hammers on anvils, and after having given currency value to millions of money, are cast aside aa worthless, except as scrap." Traffic on a limy New York Thor oughfare Almoat Illockvd Tempo rarily by a Curious Occurrence. Traffic on Broadway was almost blocked for a few momenta the other afternoon by the actions of two wom en, who went, through what was evi dently a superstitious rite which no one hue themselves couiu understand. The women were middle aged, the New York Herald states, and b?y ond reproach in appearance, ar.d" no ore noticed them, as they crossed Herald square; hut mid way of the Thirty-fifth and Thirty-sixth street block they paused, turned back and to.;thsr retraced t'teir 1'ootsttps for a short distance. g..ir.g steadily at. the ground as though they had lost rome thing. When they had gone a few yards they stopped, and each woman put out her right foot and carefully touched one of the paving stones with the toe of her shoe. Then they turned again and re Eiimed their wr.lk in the most matter of fact way in the world. But the on lookers did not take it so coolly. New York erg are a curious people, and those who had noticed the women's ac tion resolved to find out if there wa anything peculiar about one of those paving stones. They stared eagerly to ward thrt part of the pavement, and other persons, who had not seen the women, followed the crowd. But noth ing unusual co ild be found in the pave ment, and it was decided that it must be a new superstition, such as had not before been heard of, even in New York, which ii as cosmopolitan In superstition as it is in fashions.
