This Company renewed, and continues in
force, Life Insurance policies held by the
Southern survivors Of the late war-forming

jority, if not all the Eastern companies,
which, while the wGr was going On, refused

4 Street and sour -4ppyc.

Capt. Benjamin Allen, of Greene,
Me-. raises in his orchard a variety of
apples which is great pomological Gu
rfositv as well as a puzzle. 1t is made
up of alternate sections of sweet and sour,
each section including about one-eight
of the apple. When the apple is well
grown the sections are regular and vary
but little, if any, in different apples,
and they are always distinct. In size,
form and keeping prOpensities it re-
sembles the Rhode Island Greening
in fact, the sour part is that kind of
apple. When first picked the whole
apple is of greenish color, and sour sec
tons are not easily distinguished; but
as il natures the sections assume rich
yellow color, peculiar TO the greening.
My father obtained scions from Mr..
Aliens orchard, and for many years
raised some of the apples, but the tree
was blown down, and now, / think,
there are none TO be found only in Mr..
Aliens orchard. Many a time l have
seen my father, when he had company,
surprise them by cutting first a piece of
sour apple for them to taste and adioin-
ing that piece of sweet. from the same
apple. The tree now in Mr.. Aliens or
chard was grated many years ago, but
/ think no one knows where the scions
came from. How was such a variety
produced? Was it a natural growth
from the seed, or was it produced by ar
tificial means? l think it must have
been done by artificial means, but what
those means Were would probably need
some experiments to prove. 4. Gil

BANKRUPT.-This term has remarka-
BILE origin. 1t is derived from the Ital-
ian words Banco Rotto, signifying a
broken bench, in allusion to the Italian
custom of breaking the benches and
counters on which the brokers and mon
ey-changers transacted their business
at the Bourse, when they failed Thus
to say that the bench of such a one had
been broken was equivalent to have pro
nounced one bankrupt in our language.
The occupant was called "Bando Rot
to, or Bankrupt. When the word was
first adopted in the English, it was
spelled Bankerout, which is nearer the
original word than the one now used
The word Bank is also taken from the
bench used by these brokers.
