Miller and tie Last Dly.-The last New York

sayings and dongs at the great cncampment of
the Mllerites near Newark. Several of the ser.
mons are reported, and the following extract from
one of them, giving description of the end Of the
world, may give some idea Of the sort of argument
by which Miller gains his converts:
The great trouble Of all will be at the last Great
day IN 1913 Groanng and cries of "Glory,"
"Come, Lord, quickly."] That trouble will last
perhaps, six or seven days before the world is fl

and shouts of GLORY" "Halelu ah ~ Orparents

Preserving Winter APpLs.-Apples that are to
be kept long, must be kept cool and dry; it is heat
and moisture that contribute most to decay. Some
cool she'd or the coolest part of the barn. is, there
fore, preferable to cellar at this season. But
when colder weather comes cellar Of some kind
is necessary. A cellar which has ice in one part
Of it may be the most convenient place, but the
cellar must be COOL or the fruit will soon begin to
rot. It's good to have partitions in cellars; then
one part may be kept cool enough for apples ci-
der may be kept in the same cool place. it will
erment less, and, if properly made, it may be kept
long without giving it vent. If we can contrive
to keep cider entirely secluded from air, it will re-
qaire no foreign ingredients to render it pleasant.
