A Fruit House. and How 10 Make II,

The essential conditions for preserving apples
or other fruits the most perfect state, Tor as
long time as possible, are:
First.-COoness and evenness of temperature.
A uniform temperature of So is the most ia yor-
able, and from this there should be no greater
variation than A.. After steady cold weather
sets in this degree of GOODNESS is easily main
tanned; but prior to that season it requires con-
siderable attention. Whenever the temper
allure in the fruit-house rises above 400 in day
time, all ventilators have to be closed until eve-
ming, when they are opened again and left 50
Sscond.-Dryness of the Temperature without
dessiccation Exclusion of light is desirable,
but not absolutely necessary.
These conditions exist in most good cellars.
but when more room for keeping fruits has to be
provided, 1t will be found cheaper to build a
fruit-hOuse than a cellar. A friend uses with
good results. a fruit-hOuse built of brick eigh-
teen feet wide and thirty feet long. The walls
are twelve hesthick and about ten feet high.
Against their inner side are spiked studs, Axe.
four feet apart, and 10 these is nailed tight
board partition. The intermediate space of six
inches is filed with dry sawdust The roof is
covered with slate, and is likewise underlined
with sheet OF sawdust, six inches in thickness.
There is a tier of shelves nearly three feet wide
and two feet above one another on each side.
The bottom OF the shelves il OF slate, one-half
inch apart, so as to allow the air To circulate
around the fruit. A third layer of straw Is
spread over tine shelves before the fruit is placed
on them. No, more than two three LAYERS of
apples are put on shelf, with the exception OF
russets. which are slowed foot or more in thick
ness. The center space of the building is used
for packing and storing barreled fruit. At the
center of the ridge Of the roof is large venti-
latOr. There is also chimney and brick-stoye
in the building, but there is scarcely any neces-
sty for using il. Where brick is not easily OBJ
tanable, wooden building may be constructed
so as to answer all purposes equally we'll
Careful observation has convinced us that
apples keep better in shallow bins than i'm
barrels, and that the time saved in asserting
and the ease with which decavinD specimens
can at any time be picked ont speak much in
favor OF bins. When, however, apples must be
kept i'm barrels, il Is very important that the
and not when the atmosphere Is damp. Apples
keep better in somewhat loose than in very
tight barrels, better when the barrels are laid
on the side than when standing upright. ami

MANS lNHUMANITY TO WOMAN.-It makes
ones blood run chill to read the disclosures re-
garding the fate Of Anna Follen, the poor ST.
Adams girl who was so wickedly betrayed bv
mhuman monsters, and then sent to Canada to
be criminally treated for the coDcealment of
their crimes. From the investigations il ap-
pears that she was subjected to indescribable
cruelties during the last two or three days of
her life. While suffering bitter and almost un-
endurable pains, she was taken from her room
and placed In a miserable attic, without fire.
She asked for il, begged for 1t, but her entreat-
les avaied nothing. A night or two before she
died, her sufferings from pain and cold became
great, that she left her wretched room, work.
ed her way down stairs, and pleaded earnestly
again for fire. II was again denied her, but
she was given glass of brandy and sent back
She came a night later-the night before her
death-and piteOusly begged for a change of
apartments or fire, asserting that she should
die If she could not have warmth. She was sent
back with the promise of a cow-hiding If she
came again, and next morning was found dead
in her bed, beyond the reach of earthly torture
and shame. Her dreadful fate NAV not be
wholly in vain-it will not. if the ewes of the
people may be opened SO that they shall learn
to cast the stones of public indignation where
they belong, and hold the scoundrel, who is
really most guilty, at least equally responsible
with his suffering victim, and this it seems to
be doing in the vicinity where it occurred, 10

PRAYER AND PRIZEs.-The Influence of Dero-
fOn.-The following account Of queer speech
Is from the Pail Mall Gazette: 'sIn discus
sion at the last meeting of the Portsmouth
school board, on the question whether the Lords
Prayer should be repeated by the head teachers
in the board schools, Commander Key said f:
i'm the House of Commons and i'm the army ami
navy, how much more was il desirable that il
should be used in schools. After great battles
it had been the custom TO have prayers, but
after the battle of Trafalgar, in which Lord
Nelson died, prayer was omitted, and, a gale
having sprung up, a large number of valuable
prizes taken from the French and Spaniards
were sacrificed Mr.. Emanuel asked Com
mander Key if he was of the opinion that those
prizes were lost because prayer was neglected
to which Commander Key replied, YES think
they were.' The result OF the discussion was
the adoption OF the motion for the repetition of
the Lord 5 PRAYER"
