Too much praise cannot be given our worthy host and hostess in making this their son's wedding dinner such a complete success, long to be rem embered by their relatives and friends.

From the Rural Northwest. California fruit growers do a good deal of pruning of their trees at this season of the your. Concords appear to Fell belter than any other home-grown grapes in the Portland market this year. It is said that the pro?p ( t now is that stocks of canned fruits in California will be cleaned up b fore next reason begins. This has not happened for Gvtf years. On October 20th tomatoes were retailing in New York at fifteen cents per quart and at the same date they were selling in Portland at twenty cents per twenty-pound box. There is suid to be a great short age in the bean crop of Europe and the price of beans is improving in the United States. There have been several shipments of beans from California direct to Europe this fall. Oregon sends a eood deal of money to California to pay for fruit, but it is the opinion of some of our commission merchants that Cali fornia pays Oregon more money for potatoes than Oregon payj Cali fornia for fruit. The pear-leaf blister mite has bo come quite common in Oregon and Washington and is doing a good deal of harm to our pear trees. It is recommended that all the leaves under the pear trees be collected and burned. After this is done the trees should be thoroughly sprayed with kerosene emulsion, the resin wash or some of the other vigorous insecticides. A few dried up prunes and plums can still be found hanging on the trees or on the ground underneath. They ought to be gathered up and burned as the' are certain to contain germs of disaese which may cause trouble next year. Unless we keep disease out of our prunes there will be no profit in growing them, and the Italian prune seems to be specially subject to disease when we have had bad weather in the spring. On account of the prevalence of the canker and other diseases of similar character, it seems .o be altogether best to 6pray fruit trees soon after the leaves fall. So far as we know this is the onlv season of the vear when spraying is of much use as a preventive of the canker or black spot. The disease seems to start at this time of the year and unless the germs can be killed before they begin to develop in the tree, spraying will do little good. The Bordeaux mixture is the rn-oner sDravinz compound for -i -this work. Some of the orchardists in southern California are now using steam instead of cvanide gas for destroying scale insects on fruit trees. A tent was used as with the gas process and steam is conveyed by hose to a perforated box inside the tent from which it escapes from all sides of the tent. The steam is forced in until the temperature rises in the tent to 120 degrees, when it is partly shut off so as to maintain the temperature at 120 degrees for seven or eight minutes when it is shut off. The tempera ture is not allowed at any time to reach 125 degrees. The process is said to be more effective than the gas process.

There is now living in Hartland, Me.. at the ripe old ae of 75 years, one of Mnincs notable widows. This is Mrs, JMien I'niinps, renct or lieoree, a brother of Wendell Phillips. Her hu band was a graduate from Harvard col- lee, a member of the famous claws of '28, among- his classmates and intimate friends being Dr. O. W. Holmes and James Freeman Clark. Mrs.' rhillips has in her house several antique relies of gTeat interest and historical value nmo;i them beng n mnrble top table and drawer which belonged to John Brown, of Harper's Ferry fame, and n copper ewer and sidelm.urd, once the property of John Phillips, the first mayor of the city of Uostou.

Considerable discussion, says a Lon don exchange, is taking place in Lich field with regard to the condition of the house, in the market square in which Dr. Johnson wiih born and lived. In view of the possibility of tho house falling into a Mate of decay an agtta tion lias been commenced in favor of public action, nnd it is now understood that at the next meeting or the city council a proposiion -will bo made to acquire it for use as a Johnson museum or club, a number of local residents having offered to give to it relics which they possess of tho famous lexicog rapher. OBJECTED TO TWO OFFICES. Tho Vlrcinlnn Wouldn't Glvo Super and Visor to One Man. One of the best ir.cn in Stafford county, Va., says the New York Sun, was running for supervisor of the cov.ntv, and, as usual when a really pood man runs for office, there was vigorous opposition to him. Some of it was expected, but when one i.'norant but influential old fellow eatne out against the candidate, the friends' of both parlies were surprised, and one of the candidate's supporters immediately went to see the old man. "Is it actually true that you are ajiiiiistour man for supervisor?" asked the iViend when he had led up to the poiu'c. "Of course I am," responded the old mar., fi.".!y. "IStil lie is one of the best men in the whole county." argued his friend. "I ain't doublin' that at all, only I can't vote for him." "Why not?" " 'Cause I won't vote fer no man un der them circumstances." "L"uder what circumstances?" in quired the friend in the great i-st as tonishment, for up to that time no "circumstances" had appeared in the campaign. "Why, wantiu' two offices at once, like he does." explained the kicker. "I'm williu' to vote fer him fer super, but I'll be derned ef I'm jjoin to vote fer him fer visor, and you can tell him so ef you want to." Thereupon the friend of the candi date organized an individual education al campaign, and by his delicate di plomacy brought the old man up to the trough in good shape. The Cnrse Tti mnrf Vinrrihle disease to which the human family is subject is conta . .. . . . , gions DIOOQ poison. it nas always baffled the doctors, for notwithstanding the progress made in some branches of medicine, they haTe failed absolutely to discover a cure for it. Whether in the form of powder, pill or liquid, the doc tor's prescription is always the same potash or mercury. Mr. Otto H. Elbert, who resides at the corner of ad Street, and Avenue N., Galveston. Texas, had severe experi ence with this dreadful disease, and under date of April 5 tb, 1896, writes:, "Several years ago I was so unfortu nate at to contract contagious blood poison, and was under treatment of the best physicians continuously for four years. As soon as I discovered that I had lha disease. I hastened to place myself under the care of one of the foremost doctors in my State, and took his treatment faithfully for several mon hs. It was a Tery short time after he pro nounced me well, that the disease broke out afresh, and I was in a far worse con dition that at first. Large lumps formed MR. OTTO H. ELBERT, on my neck, my throat was filled with sores, and a horrible ulcer broke out on my jaw. After beinj; treated again with no success, I became disgusted and changed doctors. I was again given the usual treatment of mercury, and took enough to kill an ordinary msn. Of course, I was pronounced cured half a dozen times, the disease returning each time, until my physician finally admitted that he could do me no good. I am sure that no one was ever in a worse fix than I my hair had fallen by the handful, my feet were so swollen that I could scarcely work, and I was in a sad plight. " I had seen S. S. S. advertised as a cure for this disease, and determined to nit, and before I had taken one bottle It much better. I continued to take the remedy, and a dozen bottles cured me completely, so that for five years I have had no sign of the terrible disease. S. S. S. is the greatest blood remedy of the age, and is truly a God-send to those afflicted with contagious blood poison." For fifty years S. S.S. has been curing this terrible disease, even after all other treatment failed. It is guaranteed Purely Vegetable and never fails to cure contagious blood poisou, scrofula, eczema, rheumatism, cancer, catarrh, or any other disease of the blood. If you have a blood disease, take a remedy which will not injure you. Beware of mercury; don'tlo vio lence to your system. Our books on blood and skin diseases will be mailed free to any address.
