Pi km uf Dried Frolt.
The price flf dried fruit is of interest
to almost ewry farmer that Irusaii or
chard. The price of prauea, says the
Rural Xorthwest, is not yet estab
lished in Portland for the earning
season, as no prunes, to speak of, are
yet offered for sale. Au offer of seven
cents for two carloads of Italian is
.said to be the nearest to a transaction
in the new crop. L. M. Bpiegl says it
js probable that Italians will sell at
from 7 to 7 cents and silver a shade
Jiigher, and tnat the demand for dried
apples is very strong and prices stiff.
No person having waxen apples
-should send them to Portland for tale
but should have them evaporated.
'They cannot be made to net more than
.80 cents per bra if sold green while
they will be worth 10 cents per pound
when evaporated if the work la well
done. All windfalls and also all ap
plies of such varieties as the Gloria
klundi, etc., which are not good eating
apuios, should be dried this year. Or

Tbe learnea-profeMions are overcrow fl
ed. Tbe cause of this unhappy crowding
of tbe market 'for brain laborers is not
far to seek. An immense number of
persons, who in former times would have
worked with their bands as their father
did before tlieni, are being educated to
work with their heads.. There is a gen
eral leveling np of the social grades, if
yon look at it optimistically. The bob of
the artisan liecoines a clerk, tbe son of
tbe clerk aspires to teach in school, the
son of the schoolteacher aspires to go t
Oxford orCumhridge. But this leveling
np is not on unmixed blessing.
Tbe result is that we have 50 times toe
many clerks 200 applied for an insig
nificant fw-t advertised in The Times
the other day 16 times too many half
educated teachers, and, alas, 10 times
too many nniversiry graduates tnrned
out every year to crowd the ranks of t lie
bar, the schools and journalism and re
cruit the year's crop of miserable and
hopeless failures. Kone of these people
can dig as their fathers did. They can
not make shop boys or busmen or cross
ing sweepers. Too many of them can
only teach or starve. London Saturday

I)rov a Gambler Out.
A swindling gambler was shown np
during a game of poker in one of the pri
vate dining rooms of tbe Hotel JValdorf.
A well dressed man, giving his name as
W. W. Hurt, started a game of cards
the-preceding night in which he won
several hundred dollars. One of the on
lookers detected Hurt cheating and
looked up his record. Hurt proved to be
professional card sharp with an unsa
vory past. In order to expose him tbe
game was arranged. Tbe play was for
small stakes only, and not detecting
Hurt cheating the manager of the hotel,
tired of waiting for "crooked" work,
stopped the game, returned the money
to the players and gave them a sketch
of Hurt's disreputable career. New

McAdams, living a little northwest of

berrying, at which they succeeded very
well. They left their baskets a few min
utes for a stroll, and on returning ob
served a bear, which had just made a
dinner of their berries, and with crabs
they compelled Bruin to leave, pursued
by the dogs that had accompanied tbe
party. The dogs had not gone far till
they started np three deer and followed
after them, and Mrs. McAdams and the
Misses McAdams joined in the chase.
They shot one of the deer with a pistol,

Outcome of the BwUglou Ceagreee.
Tbe outcome of tbe religions congress
at Chicago is an organization which has
for its object, to use Bacon s words, "the
glory of tbe Creator and the relief of
man s estate. flo man can well decline
to promote the former purpose without
avowing himself an atheist, nor the lat
ter without confessing himself to be
something leas than human. The new
organization is called the Brotherhood
of Christian Unity, and its only article
of association is a statement that tbe sub
scribers "desire to serve God and their
fellow men under the inspiration of tbe
life and teachings of Jems Christ."

MGERSaU. ON ECONOMICS.

"What is tha cause of the labor and:1
financial troubles'" '
"In the first place, the mills and facto-'
, ties, furnace ana foundries of the world
! can produce more than the world will
' use. They produce, however,as long as
they can soli at a profit, and when the
supply is too great the mills and facto
; ries must close, and then tbe laborers
are thrown out of employment. Then
the people become economical, and the
economy adds to the general distress.
- The truth is that :tlie extravagance of
sine people does not keep pace with the
I invention of labor saving machinery.
I "The machines of the world are doing
i the work of hundreds of millions uf
men, and when the machines stop tbe
laborers employed is making and feed
ing and running these machines stop,
too, and then hard times come. There
who are a little ahead begin to draw
from the savings banks, and the savings
tuuM collect their loans, and the other
ban .8 7 tbe same, and then comes a
cur;. '"icy famine, and then a few banks
faiFand lack of confidence becomes gen
eral, and then comes panic After a
timelhe surplus is nsed, mills and fac
tories light their fires, the men go to
work, people pnt their jnoney in the
bauksibecause confidence has returned,
and again notes and drafts and prom
ises take the place of mtiney, and an
other era of prosperity commences.
"The farmers work like the manufac
turers. They either raise too little or
too much corn or wheat or cork. Once
in a few years, by accident, they hit the
proper proportion, and then prices are
good, and the farmers are prosperous. It
is probable that as the manufacturer
and farmer become better acquainted
with tbe world when they know what
is being made and what is planted in va
rious countries they can in some degree
lessen or pnt off tbe present evils. But 1
do not see how tbey can be anrely or per
manently avoided. I do not believe the
purchase of silver by our government
had much todo with tbe trouble. " Hub

AFTER THE FAIR IS OVER.
It Will Com Nearly a Million to Pat the
Park In Conditio.
The directors of the fair are beginning
to ponder very thoughtfully over t .
fate, after the fair is ended, of the big
white buildings. The fair management,
before any of the work of alteration or
construction was begun at Jackson park,
was plait I by the park commissioners
under $700,000 bonds to put the park
back after the fair in just the sliajio iu
which it was before work was com
menced. In the early days of the fair,
when the skillful promoter was doing
his work, a good round sum was pot
down in the column of assets, which
sum was to be realized from the sale, at
the conclusion of the exposition, of the
materials that went into the construc
tion of the various buildings. It now
develops that the work of removal will
be so expensive that the materials will
not pay for the process of taking away.
It is estimated by experts that of the
wreckage of the iair 75 per cent will be
waste, and that whether the salvage on
the remaining 25 per cent will pay for
removing the whole Is very doubtful.
About 25,000 carloads of rubbish must
be taken away bodily from tbe fail
grounds. This equals about 6,000,000
cubic yards. These figures show the
enormous amount of work to be done.
About the only valuable parts of the
buildings are the floors, in which there
is considerable good lumber. World's
fair Letter.
UZ2IE BORDEN'S HOME.
It Is Now Near ftba FMhtonabls AvAtaaeof
rail BI.er.
The new home of the Borden girls on
French street is not on the best street in
the town, but it is in a good neighbor
hood and near the most fashionable ave
nue. It was occupied by a man of means
and good social position, who sold it be
cause he wished te live where be could
enjoy the fine prospect that is to be had
from another point on the same hill. It
is said that the suiters paid $11,000 for
tbe place, and that may be the fact,
though tbe house scarcely warrants a
belief that such was a true figure.
French street is a modern thoroughfare
set with pretty villas, generally wooden,
in open grounds with a showing of neat
lawns, a few vases and flowers and plen
ty of shade trees. Tbe houses are small
and of the type of dwellings with which
most of the smaller suburbs of this city
are built up The new Corden dwelling
is a yellow and brown frame linnse, with
a little woiUed tower ou ono corner of
the roof and a porch in front and partly
i on one aide. The house might haveowt
$2,000 or $4,0n0 to build. It is not as fine
I as several neighboring cottages. Itis
I said that the sisters employ only one
servant, as they did in the old house
down town.
Lizzie bears np extremely well after
her remarkable exjierience; indeed she
appears to be as well as she ever was
and stouter and better looking. The
case is different with tbe older sister.
The family afllictiou, the horrors of the
murders and tlie long strain during Liz
zie's trial were more than her nerves
could endure, and she is nothing like the
woman she was. Her health is far from
robust, and Bhe frequently has to give
up. or rather ttt--break down. New
