WHY APPLIES are Hot,in..

Some one has asked the Farmers
Club of New York, the reason why
apples are rotting. The Swans were
unable to reply. Did they not know
that the season was earlier than usual,
say by three weeks, and that fruit, in
stead of being picked when ripe, was
permitted to hang till the usual time,
thus giving a chance to the sun (Which
was then still hot) to scorch it, as it will
do fruit that is disconnected from the
bough lying on the ground, for the con
nection with the tree when fruit is fully
ripe, can necessarily have no influence,
the fruit being dead to the tree and to
be cast OFF, Had fruit been gathered
three or four weeks sooner than it has
been there would have been little com
plant about the rot. The case is ex-
emplifed.
It seems people will never learn to
gather their fruit when ripe, prospect
i've of the time. Seasons will vary !;
we must be governed by that. The
past season was one of unprecedented
heat and mild weather. there was a
constant advance, day and night, and
early in the season of fruit. We sui
fer the consequences. Winter fruit
when gathered was fit to use at once
this is unprecedented. 1t should have
been gathered some three or four weeks
sooner, and then it would not have
been fit to use; then put away in the
shade, that is, in barrels in out houses
or in cellars-the first being preferred
generally-and no sun would have af-
fected it, and would have been less sub
ject to the changes of the weather. In
this way we have fruit as usual that
does not rot, though all around us are
complalning.-F. G. IN Country Gen

THE ZENITH CITEE.

THE following parody on the " Heather Chinee

hits at the rivalry between Duluth and superio,

Which / wish to remark
And my statement is clear,
That for WAYS that are dark,
And for freaks that are queer,
The great Northern Lake is peculiar,
Which the me viii more fully appear.
Superior's its name,
And shall not deny,
In regard to the same.
What that name might imply:
But when it souts even the Zenith
Whewi How is that, Doctor for high?
'Tvould seem very absurd,
Fer quite mild are our skies
And it might be inferred
That the lake was likewise;
but re played u one day on Jay Cooke and
Iulnth IN way despise.
We were not wont to mind
northeaster on land,
But it seems It's wind
We do not understand.
And we smiled our breakwater,
With smile that chidike and bland.
Yet words were abused
In a way that grieve,
And devices were used,
That marines might believe
1t was safe h5rbOr for shipping
And the sau,e with intent to deceive.
But the waves that we're rolled
Up that day by the gale,
Were sight to behold,
And own we turned pale,
When at last they caved in the breakwater,
no mo fttraa aid ma would fail
Then the Doctor saw,
And he glower'd upon me,
And with low dropping jaw
He exclaimed, "Can this be?
Were ruined by this ere Superiori'
AND we wept for the Zenith Citee
The scene that ensued
have no heart to portray,
But jokes that were rude,
I knew, over the Bay,
would be cracked upon US, as I stated
In my paper the very next day.
Huge icebergs were piled
On the docks at Duluth
Which were going it wild,
Yet state but the truth
we said we were glad this had happened
lille the city yet in it's youth.

And my statement is clear,
That for ways that are dark,
And for freaks thatare queer

Fire Insurance.

The recent fire at Chicago admonishcs us
that the days of great fires arc not yet passed
that the inventions of man arc powcrlcss
III the presence of tho mighty power of that
element, before which city with it's mil
lions of treasure vanishcs in day. The
great losses by the fire at Chicago will be
somewhat repaired, however, by the heavy
insurance which large and prudent property
owners took the prccaution to secure. Manv
of the insurance companies especially
those doing only local ,sincss must bc

widely separated business, with largo capi.

to policy holders.
10 owners of valuable property, and par
ticularly to merchants, do VIC think money
paid for policy in solvent company we'll
spent. Many think fire insurance humbug,
but the late fires in Charleston, Portland, and
moro recently in Chicago, rofutc outright tho
assertion, when tho alacrty with which many
of the companies arc adjusting their heavy
losses at the latter place is considered.
We understand that an agency has bcon
in the last few months, established at this
place, wherein tho Home, of Now York, tho
Georgia Homo and tho Pacific arc rcprcsen.

cants, to whom local agent in case Of loss
will be Of assistance. In these companies
tho stockholders, who are men of great
wealth, arc individually liablo for all losses
outside of company assets; and tho prompt.
ness with which tho first and last named com.

Of the late Gre at Chicago, is conclusive evi-
