GATHERING WINTER APPLEs.-Winter
apples and pears, like eggs, are things of
life and in order to have them retain
their vitality the longest possible period,
every one must be handled as if the sur
face were as trangible as an egg. Let this
thought be impressed upon the mind of
every person employed to handle winter
fruit, that beneath the tender rind there is
oitatity. BY being roughly handled, the
skin is often broken and the pulp bruised,
which hastcns the decay of the fruit.
When apples fall on the hard ground, on
gravel, on small sticks, on each other, or
strike the limbs of trees in their descent,
they are sure to be bruised more or less,
which hastens their decay. Large apples
will be bruised more readily than small ones.
If it is desirable to have fruit to keep a
long time, it must be plucked from the
branches and handled as we handle eggs ;
and be kept in cool and dry apartment

Loyalty is fine thing whether in Church
or State. 1t may be carried, however, to
somewhat un. American extent:
Admiral Prince Menchikoff, who died
short time since at ST. Petersburg, was con-
versing one day with Prince o., when
the latter said:
'There is no God"
The Admiral retorted: "You utter
blasphemy"
Very WELL" rejoined the Prince; "but
what if the Emperor should repeat to you
the very same thing9"
THAT would alter the case" replied
Menschikoff; "his Majesty knows more
about it than do"
