is the peppermint king of the world, and his name has been for many years kept standing in the chief market journals of all lands. He is 75 years old and a native of Oneida county. About 1837 he began buying peppermint oil of the farmers about Lyons, and in 1841 he abandoned a general store in Phelps, Ontario county, which he had been keeping, and thenceforth, devoted himself wholly to the peppermint oil business. There are two or three other dealers in Wayne county, which controls the market in this specialty, but Mr. Hotchkiss handles the bulk of the crop.

The mint acreage of tha county is about 4000 acres, and the total product last year was. worth about $120,000. But it was a bad season; in a fairly good one-the crop is worth $250,000, which figure may perhaps be put down as the expense to the world of colic. IOlllltlSsS. HELPLESS FOR FIVE YEARS.

is Now Doing Her Own Work. Great excitement has been caused at Manchester, quite recently by a remarkable cure performed by Electric Bitters. Mr. Geo. H.

Wilson writes. "My wife has been almost helpless for five years past, and after using two bottles of Electric Bitters she is so much improved that she is now able to do her own work. She was so helpless that she could not turn over in bed alone." Electric Bitters are a guaranteed cure for Kidney and Liver complaints, Biliousness, Constipation and General debility.

THE WONDER ft GrOillg" til W.arars of Concealed weapons. Sharpers have a very clever way of concealing a pistol so as to defy a searcher. Instead of carrying it in the hip-pocket, they place it under the armpit, so that when standing erect, with the arms close against the sides, detection is difficult. A strap passes over each shoulder, across the back and under each arm, and is placed in position much in the same way as a man puts on a waist-coat. The pistol holder is fastened to the portion of the strap just under the arm, and is allowed to swing vertically, kept steady by the arm when required, and especially when the searching process is going on.

Special Officer in Globe- Democrat. Deposited by the River. The amount of matter in solution annually poured into the gulf of Mexico by the Mississippi is estimated at 000,000 tons, at which rate one foot of land over the whole basin would be removed in 4,000 years. Similar calculations applied to the St. Lawrence, La Plata, and the Amazon reach the result that 100 tons per square mile are removed from the American continent every year.

Again, it is calculated that not less than one cubic mile of earth is deposited every year in the Atlantio from America, Africa, Europe and Asia. New York Sun. Our Schools and College.

Abent the Trafalgar-Square Blob. The great Russian painter Veretcha-guine happened to be in London during the recent riots, and is going to paint a large picture of the Trafalgar-square mob. He says that ha "never saw so many human beings who looked so famished, degraded, ill-clad and hideously miserable. Language is impotent to express the effect produced upon me by the sight of a multitude so brutalized by misery." Boston Budget. One of Mr.

Philadelphia Call. IJfe of a Scissors Grinder, Most of the grinders leave town in the summer time. They commence about the 1st of May, and you don't often see one carrying his machine around the city after the 1st of June. They go into the country and work in the little towns and among the farmers sharpening scissors! and razors. Once in a while a $2 or $3 job is picked up in one house putting shaving tools in order and fixing ing scissors.

That pays well. Better prices are paid in the country than for the same kind of work in the oity, and it costs almost nothing to live. It don't take much bread and meat to get along on when watermelons cantaloupe and fruit are plenty. Potato patches and roasting ears help out a good deal, and occasionally a hen's nest is found in some fence corner, so you see if a fellow wants to he can live very cheap and save the money he earns. Cold weather drives them all back to the city, and that is why you hear their bells jingling through the streets when snow covers the pavements more than at any other season of the year.

I know some grinders who have a snug bank account and own property, but you don't catch them tramping around much in the slush and ice. When a grinder turns out packing a machine on his back in Dad weather you can bet he is hard up and will take most anything you offer him for a job. It takes cash to live in the city, and if the poor fellows don't save their summer earnings they have got to face the sleet and winter winds to get a little ready money or go to the soup house. Globe-Democrat. Men Who Wear Uniform.

A quarter of a century ago there was a strong feeling among wage-earners against wearing any distinctive uniform. Even when the proposition was first made to clothe the police of the city in a uniform there was a strong opposition by the members of the and many citizens sided with them. The only uniform which at all times has possessed an attractive appearance is that of the militia, although a sailor clad in his suit of blue is always an object of envy on the part of the small boy and of admiration on the part of his older sister. Uncle Sam's servants in the postal department of the government were obliged to don gray suits. The move at first met with strong disapproval, but it was put into practice.

Then the telegraph companies adopted a distinctive suit for their messengers, the ferry companies ordered their deckhands, pilots, bridge-tenders, and ticket-takers to provide themselves with a uniform. The steam railroads and horse-car companies were not slow in following this example. The district messenger companies, as each entered the field, were accompanied by a small army of boys clad in blue or gray. The ticket-takers and guards on the elevated railroads had to provide themselves with a uniform before they began service, and the owners or managers of the ten, eleven and twelve-story office buildings and apartment houses rigged their elevator attendants, janitors and assistants in distinctive suits.

Every bottle warranted by your druggist Strange Funeral Bites. When a Burmese priest of any note dies, he is embalmed and kept for a year, and then burnt with much rejoicing and festivity.

All the inhabitants of the neigh-boring villages, and even of those far distant, turn out. Many dummy coffins are made, beside the one containing the def unci The procession starts from the place where the body has been lying state toward the place of cremation, which is always at a place some distance off, accompanied by a vast concourse ot men, women and children, all dressed in their Sunday best, preceded by a noisy band of wind instruments. On approaching the funeral pyre, which has already been prepared, the crowd form into two parties, ropes are attached to the bier a wheeled vehicle containing the coffin front and rear, and a strug gle takes place, which much resembles the game known as French and English, oometimes the coffin is upset, and its ghastly burden thrown out, but generally the struggle is a mere sham, the party behind give way, and the bier is run amid deafening yells. he coffin is placed over the pyre, Which is a mass of dry faggots, in the centre of which is concealed some gunpowder; to this numer ous ropes are attached and stretched to a spot beyond the rough palings which surround the place cremation to these ropes again are attacnea rocKets, wnicn are lighted and propelled toward the pyre and he or she, who nrst suc ceeds in setting it alight, is looked upon as one destined to a happy life. These funeral pyres are very tastefully built and erected; they consist of inflammable materials, but are as gorgeous as tinsel and bright colors can make them.

They are very prettily grouped, and often cost many thousands of rupees. The hubbub and noise deafening and the dust fearful. Stalls are erected, and a brisk trade carried on. Everybody is happy and merry, and decked out with all the ornaments they pos sess, and in their finest apparel. After some hours' jollification, in which women and children freely mix and join, the whole of the structures so carefully and taste fully erected are burned down, and crowd goes its way rejoicin g.
