The Way nt True Love in ureeniano.1
Since the Danish missionaries have
gained the confidence of the natives
of Greenland, marriages in the far
North are celebrated by the representative.-*
of the Church, lu a recent
issue of one of the Danish papers one
of tho missionaries gives the following
account of the way courtship and
marriage are brought about.
Tho man calls on the missionary
an<l says, ''I wish to take unto myself
a wife."
"Whom?" asks the missionary.
The man gives her name.
"Have you spoken with her?"
? Ah u rule the answer is in the uegnW
tive, and tho missionary asks tho
Reason.
"Because," comes tho reply, "it is
so diSlieult. You must speak to her."
The missionary then calls the young
woman to him and says: "I think it
is time that yen marry,"
"But," she replies, "I do not wish
to marry."
"That is a pity," adds the missionary,
"as 1 have a liusbaud for
you."
"Who is he?" asks the maiden.
The missionary names tho candidate
for her love. ,
"But he is not worth anything. I
will net have him."
"However," suggests tho missionary,
"he is a good fellow and attends
well to his house. He throws a good
harpoon, and he loves you."
Tho Greenland beauty listens attentively,
but again declares she will
not accept the man as her husband.
"Very well," goeson tho missionary,
"I do not wish to force you. I shall
casny una unouicr wuu ior so goon
ii follow."
Tho missionary then remains hi Ion t
hh though ho lookodupon tlio incident
as closed. I>111 in n few minutes she
whispers, "But if you wish it?"
"No," answers tho pastor, "only if
you wish it. I do not wish to overpersuade
you."
Another sigh follows, and the pastor
expresses tho regret that she cannot
accept the man.
"Pastor," she then breaks out, "I
fear ho is not worthy."
"But did lie not kill two whales last
summer while the others killed none?
Will you not take him now?"
"Yes, yes ; I will."
"(5od bless you both," answers tho
pastor, and joins the two in marriage.

An English optician once constructed
a lens, tlirco feet in diameter, tho
powers of which were so great that it
would melt a solid cube of cast iron in
three seconds. When turned upon a
piece of granito it fused that refractory
substance in less than one nuuuto.

worhl. The cranberry runs *h<
tho tisli that named the placo * "
hard in tho* affections of tho people. uo
It does as much now t-oward supporting
thorn, and it is tho only thing to ',c
cat that that desert was ever known to
produce. ',H
Jersey grows cranberries, too, and tin
I ho picking business is more pictur- so
esque than on tho Cape. There the
"home folks" manage, by turning all wa
tho men, women and children into tho er,
bogs, to handle tho crop, and, as inj
everybody knows, there is nothing exciting
about tho nativo Capo Coder. *h
Ho is a suitablo subject for MiHs Wil*
kins's pen, but hardly for Rider Hag- '1C
gard's.
Rut in Jersey, around Cranberry cr
Centre and Pino Ridge, tho picking is tli
done by a wild and vagrant elass, many if
of whom manage to get along with no ea
visible means of support all the year
till the time comes that they can work
in the hop Holds or the cranberry bogs.
The worst of tho work is tho stooping.
Many ??f tho moil have thoir * 1
knees eappeil with leather, and move !V 1
about more or less without getting up.
About a third of the pickers at Pine "K
Hidge mid thereabout are women, ami
it is noticeable that they are in every
way less systematic at their work than us
the men; they stoop, they beml to
their knees, they sit down on the
ground for a change.
"Thoy piek as fast as the men first
part of the day," said the buyer, who,
in a shed at tho odge of tho bog was ex
111 insuring fruit, "but they give out 110
sooner. But they como out of the ?
season with more money than the men,
for they don't throw it away ho fast."
Many of tho piekers hero are col- 1,1
ored people, and many are Italians, J"
and with both gambling isa great paH- ,l
time. They stop during the day to '
gamble with their "tiekets." 'I'llone
tickets are given them instead of KU
money by the buyer and are redeemable
once a week. 1,1
The actual picking is done iu pails u"
or baskets slung around the neck; 11,1
those are emptied as tilled into a big, W
fiat, wooden box that can be swung 110
comfortably on the back. When it is
tilled it is slung there, and so carried ' ?
to tho buyers" shod. A bushel of ',r
berries is u small load and a bushel .
and a half a good-sized one.
In most of this region the cranberry ''
is still regarded assent by tho grace
of Ood, one man having as good a n
right to it as another. Pickers who, r<
under this sort of squatter sovereignty,
own their berries, get this fall
fifty cents a bushel for them. Some of
the men can piek three bushels and sh
more in a day. But many of them ni
shorten their labors by a game of seven p.
up in the woods after they have taken th
in a couple of bushels. Iir
Many of iho colored people live iu ta
cabins around the bog-lands, and jH
sonic of them board other pickers dur- in
ing the cranberry season?$'2.50 a or
week is a popular price. la

and their product arc treated as pri- ^,r
vate property, and then the pickiug is >j
done by children and neighbors mainly. ^
There is no such chance to make
money as the wild bogs afford, and |JH
strangers are not drawn to the work.
Things are managed on this plan, too,
at Cape Cod. Hut, though on the p.
Capo hired laborers picking in private p?
bogs, bo to apeak, get only twenty-five m)
cents a bushel, the discreponcy is not wj
so great as it seems. Picking can bo pa
dono faster in those private bogs; the jn
plants are in better condition, largely MW
because of more careful handling in ja(
previous picking seasons, they grow mt
more thickly, and the culture that is jn
bestowed upon them results in bigger tp(
berries and more of them. pQ
"I toll you," said a West street mercliant,
who goos into cranberries deep, an
is he puts it, and who visited Cape
[tod in the beginning of the season to cp
examine the crop, "there isn't a pret- jn(

"German J
Syrup"
J. 15. Hill, of the Superior
Court, Walker county, Georgia,
thinks enough of German Syrup to
send us voluntarily a strong letter
endorsing it. When nen of rank
and education thus use and recommend
an article, what they say is
worth the attention of the public.
It is above suspicion. " I have used
your German Syrup," he says, "for
my Coughs and Colds on the Throat
and Lungs. I can recommend it for
them as a first-class inediciuc."? i
Take no substitute. * J
