It was {n a cranberry bog in Northern Minnesota. The cranberry loves the sand, so at a little distance the jackpines made a fretted shelter from the hot September sun, for the pine tree also loves the sand. Close around there was only a waste of spongy moss overlaid with a growth of cranberry vines, for this was the dried bed of what had once been the upper end of the blue lake we could see glittering in the sun. The cranberry is particular as to its home. It must be sandy loam— never clay. It does not object to a flooding, on the contrary rather likes ft—especialiy in the fall when the hard frosts might nip the berries, and the flooding prevents the freeze. But the cranberry daes like drain age, and so roots itself into sharp sand along the seashore or along the borders of the Great Lakes in Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Along the Atlantic, the cranberry hogs have been made much of, and cultivated to the betterment of the berry, both in size and flavor; but along the northern part of the coun try the wild berry only is found. . The berry is wild and the place wherein it grows is often wild. Miles and miles, that have never known of civilization exceft by the weodman’s axe, are dottel here and there with plats of marsh land overgrown with wire-stemmed vines that produce what was once called the crane-berry, because of the resemblance of the flower to the head of a crane. The vine is hardy or it would not with stand the rough usage of those who tuthlessly uproot the vines in a care dess effort to obtaln the fruit. S 5 ‘V%;G ‘“m"*"b;‘t;“m’ mm ‘plant blossoms in June, *fi;f-ga‘pufi-g ‘ber, although the berry is still a deli -cate pale green, the swamps are in vaded, for the rule is, “First come, frat served,” or perhaps more prop erly, “Finding’s keeping,” as little “boys say. = For many a family, in its first year of settlementinthe“burntover lands,” among the northern pines, this cran berry crop, together with that of the blueberry and the wild red raspberry, provides the only supply of actual cash, £ =y B @ R ) e A 8 N ‘: Lmogeene L e o | wilag, - ' e | eW" , 7 LN e~ l | e | |e v | 1 MR i | s .i A} '\‘ ; '_.

It is not delicate work, this picking. The practiced hand runs the fingers, curved upward and spread rake-like, under the wiry branches, and then draws them upward, retaining the round, green-white berries, but allow ing the tiny flake-like leaves to fall back through. A smart picker can gather several bushels a day, and they sell at about a dollar and a half or two dollars a bushel in the grocery at the nearest town. From here they are shipped in crates to the city and, when they finally reach the house wife, are selling at twelve and a half “cents a quart or four dollars a bushel. At this and at the blueberry season the Indians on the remaining reserva tions are allowed to leave the reserve to pick and sell the berries. They are reckless in their picking as,- indeed, are some of the whites; and have no regard for the life of the vine, Many use a sgort of pronged scoop, which they run under the stems, ralsing up the frait, but also unfortunately drag- | - Bing up the vines by the roots. i ;‘4_%(;,;,;,#10113 the Kastern coast, as the & detwy became searce, and the price Pronortionately high, the thrifty E Y'f‘*\% Bet out new plants in the old - bogs. 1t s caslly done, for the stems k"’“ Toot readily it simply thrust in the sand, and in three years from rooting are producing fruit like the ‘native plant. This s one method of field planting, setting the little bunches of twigs something less than a foot apart, all over the field. Another method practiced is to cut a quantity of twigs into inch-long pieces, and scatter them broadcast like wheat and barrow them in, In these cultivated fields, where the bherry is protected, there is no need of picking before the fruit is ripe, so it is not gathered until erim son in October.

Next are valued those raised in New Jersey and New York. But they are all need ed, for it takes five hundred thousangd bushels to carry the Nation through the jubilant month of November, and somewhat over another five hundred thousand to last the rest of the year. The Western wild berry is higher colored, but smaller and of not quite so delicate flavor, and is all bought up out West. Who ever heard of just the right kind of Thanksgiving without cran berries? And the Thanksgiving cran berries, like the Thanksgiving turkey, lasts in well-regulated homes for two or three days. : 1 remember I dodged once a recur rence of the left-over turkey two or three days after Thanksgiving, by going to a friend's to luncheon. And what do you think she had? Turkey Pink, Turkey again, you see. I will tell how she made it, for it was good. She put through the col ander the cranberry sauce left from the turkey dinner, added to it a spoonful of gelatine, dissolved, stirred in a cup of chopped turkey meat, and ' set to harden in a mould. When cold it cut like cheese, The luncheon closed with large cranberries, candied like cherries and equally as good. 4 - v f? S ¢ : X'-":i_‘\‘ - A\ \\ » “ii B ! P NG MISS PERSIMMON.

One of the rarest specimens of the fish kingdom known to waters con tiguous to the North Carolina coast was captured in a seine at Mason boro Sound Monday by William Hewlett, a fisherman. The figsh, which was brought to the city last even ing, is what is called -“the sea bat” and it is a perfect reproduction of a leather wing bat on a large scale. The fish is about fifteen inches long and about thirty inches across the ~ Strange to state it had a thin threadlike tail about fifteen inches in length and on each side of the rear appendage were two perfectly formed gloved feet, with a smaller diversion having the exact appear ance of a thumb, with the other part of the hand mittened. The mouth of the strange specimen was about five inches acress and on each side o! the mouth or the under side of wie body there were five “strainers” or holes through which the fish is sald to rid itself of refuse products resulting from the forage it picks up at the bottom of the sea.

This is especially so with those whose nerves are very sensitive, as is often the case with talented persons, There is a simple, easy way to get rid of coffee evils, and a Tenn:Mady's ex perience along these lines is worth considering. She says: “Almost from the beginning of tho use of coffee it hurt my stomach. By the time I was fifteen I was almost a nervous wreck, nerves all unstrung, no strength to endure the most triv ial thing, either work or fun. % “There was scarcely anything 1 could eat that would agree with me. The little 1 did eat seemed to give me more trouble than it was worth, I finally quit coffee and drank hot wat er, but there was so little food I could digest, I was literally starving; was s 0 weak I could not sit up long at a time. “It was then a friend brought me a hot cup of Postum. I.drank part of it and after an hour I felt as though I had had something to eat — felt strengthened. That was about five years ago, and after continuing Pos tum in place of coffec and gradually getting stronger, to-day 1 can eat and digest anything I want, walk as much as 1 want. My nerves are steady. “1 believe the first thing that did me any good and gave me an upward start, was Postum, and I use it alto gether now instead of coffee.” "“There's a Reason.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich Read '“The Road to Wellville,” in pkgs Ever read the above letter?
