CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT APPLES
Apples dried before they are fully
ripened will make more pounds to the
bushel than those fully matured.
Very large apples will not yield as
many pounds of dried apples to the
bushel as smaller ones.
Small sized apples will often yield
eight pounds of dried apples to the
bushel.
Apples with thick, close textured
skins keep longer than thin-skinned ap-
pies.
When n tree overbears, the flavor of
the fruit Is impaired.
The flavor of the fruit is dependent
upon the maturity of the sap through
the leaf.
The leaves are the expanded lungs of
the tree, in which the sap is oxygenized
and purified.
If there Is a much larger relative pro-
portion of fruit than leaves. the fruit
Will be of inferior flavor.
PICK all the leaves from a tree. and
not an apple on it will fully ripen.
Large leaved trees ALWAYS nroduoo
large apples, and nursery man can
pick out of a nursery the trees that will
bear large apples before they bear fruit

WoMAN's INFLUENCE IN POLITICS.
The Vermont newspapers recently no

ergy, but OF notoriously bad character

STATE by selling liquor without license
Inc Chicago Times basely comments as
Mrs. Catharine Dillon was not in
attendance at the Woman Suffrage Con-
Yention, at Washington, last week.
She was detained at home in st. Albans,
being busily engaged in dying about
that time. But her presence there would
nave been remarkably appropriate; for
as champion of her sex she was as far
superior to some of the prominent advo-
Gates as actions are louder than words.
Not that she has been active in demand
ing the franchise. OF what use was il
to her TO assist in making the laws,
when she could so successfully break
them? For twenty years before her
death she had been engaged in snug

balked by husband; but she compelled
him to commit a larceny; then had him
arrested and sent to prison for it, and
during his incarceration procured a
divorce. She was forty-fve wears of
age at the time of her death, and had
amassed fortune of nearly S10O, 1000"
This has reused the just Indignation
of the editor of the st. Albans Daily
Messenger, who thus replies:-
''The foregoing is just of piece with
nearly all the rest of the popular preju-
dice and clamOr against Woman Suf-
frage. So far from its being true, as in
timated, that Mrs. Dillon's proper place
was among the friends of the franchise.
she cared nothing for it and laughed
about it as senselessly as her survivor
above quoted. Her influence i'm politics
was all that she desired. Not many
years since citizen of this town was a
candidate for an office for which he par
ticularly desired full vote. One of his
friends went TO Mrs. Dillon for il. She
replied that her friends did not wish TO
vote that ticket. He offered to furnish
the means of influence. She accepted
the offer, and for the first time in history
Democratic whiskey made scores of Re-
publican votes. This was woman's in
direct and irresponsible influence in
politics. and it was not cOunteracted by
the better influence of better women.

WOMEN AS PoLITICIANs.-Th New
York Times, in commenting on this
subject, which may be live issue of the
immediate future, says: ''The influence
eXerted by the women of New York in
helping forward the work of reform and
securing the victory of honesty over
fraud in our late election, can hardly be
Overestimated. Whether women are to
be allowed the privilege of voting or not,
It is very certain they are to exert i'm the
future far greater power i'm the solution
Of political and social problems than
they have done in times past. And il
may be urged, as among the strongest
arguments in favor of an extension of
their political privileges, that such
power as they are now able to exert has
generally been in the right direction.
As society advances, and the education
and culture of women approach more
nearly to the standard of the other sex,
there will have to be, of necessity, more
or less notifications of the prevailing
notions about the appropriate sphere
of women. While there will ALWAYS be
women, as there have always been men.
whose extreme views are calculated to
injure the cause they design to promote,
yet this fact should not prejudice the
minds of thoughtful people against those
reforms, radical though they may at
first sight appear, which the changing
conditions of society, and the progress of
liberal and enlightened thought, shall
prove to be necessary

One Of the most curious attendants at the
gathering Of the British Association at Brighton,
was little gentleman in brown overcoat, With
black and yellow nether garments, wearing a
sharp sword poisoned ut the tip. Next to Mr.
Stanley, this visitor might be called by far the
most remarkable and best worth attention
among all the assembled notorieties It WAS Sir
John Lubbocks pet wasp and the respect
which would naturally be paid to any friend Of
the benevolent sayant who has given London its
new holidays WAS really due to this insect on
it's own account. Captured in a nest OF soft
grey paper in the Pyrenees, the wasp was the
very first Of it's species that had ever received
an education. Sir John exhibited it to the As
sociation with just pride, az q proof Of what
kindness and patience can effect upon the most
unpromising creatures; and even A1r. Forster
might have wondered to Sec it come out Of the
glass bottle where it lives, eat sugar from its
masters fingers, allow him to stroke it's striped
back, and tly round and round his head, return
ing always to his home in the bottle. At first,
says its distinguished educator, it was strather
too ready with its sting" but now it never
thinks Of unsheathing the tiny rapier nt it's tail
and nobody who saw the insect could doubt that
its nature had been greatly changed.

from the u dShtnDtofa ChTonfcte.
In 1859 and 1850 special appropriation Of
$4,000 was expended By the Bureau Of Agri-
culture in introducing tea-culture to the people
OF the United States. Selections OF seeds we're
made by Mr. Fortune, Of England, as the agent
Of the United States, and these we're conveyed
in Wardian cases to this country, terminating
on the voyage. When further developed in the
Government greenhouses in Washington: they
we're distributed in limited numbers under the
franks of Northern and Western Senators and
Representatives, and in very large quantities,
through various means Of conveyance, to the
South. They seem to have perished under the
frosts Of the North, and but few have been
heard from in the South. At the time Of their
reception ';the busy note Of preparation " for
civil "ar possessed al minds. nj. Connolly

with its glossy leaves and greenish-whte and
orange-colored blossoms. The tree has never

it has lived : and, though not large, ia prosper

Where the Nickel Comes From.

Few people are aware that the nickel, from
which our smaller coins are made, comes from
single mine, which is the only one in the coun-
uated in Lancaster County, Pa It has been
worked for seventeen years. and developed to 3
depth OF 200 feet. The length Of this lode is
between 2,000 and 5000 feet, and it produces
from 400 to GOO tons per month, employing in the
arts, nickel is rapidly growing into favor IS Q
substitute for silver in plating steel. iron and
other metals. It's commercial demand ia rapid
ly increasing, and as it is much cheaper than sl-
yer, it will undoubtedly be adopted IN the raanu-
facture OF many articles as substitute for that
more precious metal. One mine, the Minela-
Motto tract, Missouri, WIS worked from 1850 to
1855. The ore Was the sulphuret, associated
with lead and copper. About s1oo, 600 was real
ized from the groupings ct the vein. Groupings
of nickel ore are found also in Madison, Iron,
and Wayne Counties, no. The refined metal is
worth So per pound.
