IThe 'Art of Canning Fruit.
The art of canning fruit in large
quantities has reached a stage little
dreamed of by our grandparents 25 and
50 years ago. The best example of
this advance is found in the Monopoly
brand of fruits and vegetables. The
fruits are delicious and sweet and re-
tain all their natural flavor. The vege
, tables taste almost exactly as though
they were direct from the garden.
They are packed under a beautiful blue
label. First class dealers handle them.

SHREWD WOMEN CROOKS.
In Criminal Walks the Eex Ie Keep
ing Well Up with Man.
"Women are making progress along
more than one line," remarked an old
member of the police force. "A recent
example shows that they are quite as
efficient as men In the matter of safe
blowing." Woman in the role of safe
blower is new to the police. The fact
Is that the operation of female offend
ers has heretofore been confined to of
fenses of the daytime or of the early
part of the night. But here comes a
story from Tennessee of the arrest of
several women who belong to a gang of
expert cracksmen, and who actually
took part in a safe blowing in a small
town near Nashville, where they
robbed a bank and got $1,700.
"Women have often developed Into
expert forgers, as, for Instance, In the
recent case of an American woman
abroad, who succeeded in conducting
a forgery scheme for a considerable
length of time, and until she had
fraudulently collected a vast sum of
money. They make high-class pick
pockets, and, in fact, infinitely more
successful in this line of work than
men.
"One curious fact in this connection
despite the frequent announcements
publicly made of offenses of this kind
committed by women, men are never
on the lookout for the female pickpocket
unless they find themselves In a ques
tionable resort, or in bad company,
For this very reason women find it
much easier to pick a man's pocket.
They can get closer to men, too, with
out becoming offensive, and can lift the
diamond pin out of his scarf, nip his
watch and chain or any other valuable
thing he may have before he will ever
dream of anything wrong.
"In that kind of pilfering," too, pe
culiar to kleptomania, she is more
successful because in this instance of
the way she dresses and woman's pe
culiar demeanor around the counters
in dry goods stores. If a man, for in
stance, should go Into a dry goods
store and begin to pick up little things
and fumble over them, apparently for
the purpose of inspection, he would at
once arouse the suspicion of every
clerk within visual range. On the
other hand, a woman may do exactly
the same thing without exciting the
least suspicion. It is simply looked
upon as a matter of comparative ease
for the kleptomaniac.
"But the woman safe blower. is a
new type, as far as my experience
goes, and I suppose It simply means
that the police of the country will soon
be confronted with many new problems
in dealing with the female offender."

A Butcher of Taste.
There is a butcher in one of the
New Orleans markets who has built
up an immense family trade entirely
by reason of his taste in doing up par
cels of meat. His modus operandi is
very ingenious. If he is handling a
porterhouse he places It between two
squares of pasteboard, uses a sheet of
pearl gray manila paper as a wrapper
and ties it up with baby blue string.
The result is a neat rectangle which
has every appearance of having come
from some fashionable drug store or
confectioner's. Chops and such like
he stows away in neat little cardboard
tubes, and he keeps a supply of one
pound candy boxes especially for
chicken livers and chopped sausage.
The system is very effective.

"But," we object, speaking to the
author who has written a historical
novel, "this historical data is absolute
ly wrong. Why, it's ridiculous to have
George Washington fighting three

"I know I took some liberties with
George and history," the author says
naively, "but what's the difference?
He'll never know and it
won't hurt
his feelings." -
"But the people who read your bok,"
we again object, '
"Surely you know that people who
read historical novels know nothing of
history!" he exclaims in just scorn.

told in Mr. Baker's crisp and pictur

EASY TO MOVE TO EUROPE.
Household Effects Can Be Transported
with Very Little Trouble.
"In these days," said a storage and
van man, "it is just as easy to move
from New York to London as from
jew York to Hoboken. One's furni
ture and household effects can be
transported across the Atlantic in vans
as easily as across the North River.
"Of course, vans have long been
used here for comparatively long
distance moving by rail and steamboat.
It is a common thing in summer, for
instance, to see teams on the decks
of boats running to and from this
city. They just run the vans aboard
on their own wheels, and run 'em off
at the other end of the line, and back
in the country, or wherever they want
to take them.
"The vans used In trans-Atlantic
moving are lift vans. They are really
van bodies and can be lifted from their
wheels and swung onto a car of trans
portation by rail or down a hatchway
Into a steamer's hold.
"At the end of its rail or water
transportation the van can as easily be
lifted off the car or out of the steam
er's hold and swung upon the trucks
uponjwhich it is to be hauled to the
house where the goods are to be put,
"Who are the people that thus cas
ually pack up and move across the At
lantic? Well, they may. be foreign
merchants , who have been living In
this country, but are now going back.
They may also be Americans who are
going abroad to live.
"With the modern facilities for the
transportation of people and goods ev
erywhere and the very great increase
In travel there are now many people
who, crossing the Atlantic for a more
or less .extended stayr take their house
hold goods with them.
"Of course, there are people moving
in this way all the time from Europe,
as there are people moving thither
from here, and when we move any
body over we want, of course, a freight
back; we don't want to bring our
vans back empty, and we move some
body this way.
"In some German cities there are
published weekly newspapers, t)r rath
er extended bulletins, devoted to the
interests of the storage van men. In
those several publications you would
find lists of the vans to be had in the
city where the list -was published and
other information concerning them, in
cluding the name of the owner of the
van, where it was from, its cubic ca
pacity, where it would be at disposal
and the name of Its agent or the rep
resentative of its owner, at the point
where this list was published.
"Foreign lift vans come filled with
household effects to American
ports,
and through the representatives of
their owners here they get return ship
ments, as American vans In - Europe,
through their representatives there,
get shipments this way.
"So you see that really in these days
It Is about as easy to move to Europe
as It would be to move into the next
block, and there Is lots of trans-Atlantic
moving." New York Sun.
COMMERCIAL CORRESPONDENCE
Young Man Inadvertently Mixed Bnsi
- ness with Uis Social Note.
There-is no worse literary style than
that of the ordinary business letter,
which begins, "Yours received and
contents noted. In reply would say
that we received orders for goods 30th
ult., and shipped same day following."
When this style gets mixed up with
the formal conventlonanity of "socie
ty" correspondence, as related In a
story in the New York Times, the com
bination Is funny. A young woman in
Baltimore received this letter:
"Mr. Blank requests his compliments
to Miss Dash, and requests the pleas
ure of her company at the theater
Thursday evening next.
"Awaiting an early reply, and hop
ing it .win be ravoraoie to our propo
sition, we are, yours very truly,
, "BLANK & CO."
The writer was the Junior partner
in a large manufacturing company.
He had written many letters that day
for tne company and signed the name
of the - firm, and the
stereotyped
off his pen
phrases of commerce ran
from habit.
. The lady, however, understood 'what
had happened, and was equal to the
occasion. The next day the young man
was astonished to receive this reply: .
"Messrs. Blank & Co.: Gentlemen
Your favor of recent date at hand and
contents noted. In reply will say J ac
cept the proposition therein made and
hold the goods ordered, subject to yr.
further Instructions. Very respect
fully, - MISS DASH."
Of course it was easy to apologize to
a woman with so much humor as that,
but the young man had to listen for a
long time to the question, c"How's
