Keeping Apples.

An apple may be bruised, and so long
as the skin is whole il will not rot. But
break the skin, and the mold germs enter
at once and rot the fruit Hence the head
of barrel may be pressed hard against
the fruit and not injure it, save little
dry tough spot. All fruit, therefore, in
tended to keep, must have sound cpider-
mis-. A worm.hole invites rot.
Apples to be kept through the winter
or till well into spring, shoald be packed
before they arc quite ripe, or just as they
reach the point Of ripening. To gather
sooner will deprive somewhat of the
flavor, though the preserving quality will
be improved. Handle carefully when
picked, and as little as possible, so as TO
leave intact the oil-cOat that covers the
fruit, which is an aid to its keeping.
Have the barrels at the tree, and transfer
from the basket, putting in the best, such
as are wished to be kept. Each sorting
of apples, or almost any fruit is a hurt
Let it then be done but once, and at the
tree. Remove the barrels to an out
building, and leave there till the sweating
operation has passed and the fruit is dry.
Then remove to the fruithOuse or cellar.
Sweating commences at once, and the
barrels should therefore be left open, or
at least partly, so as TO give chance for
evaporation. When put into their place
for winter, head up, leaving little
space half an inch or inch wide; this TO
give a chance for slight circulation Of air.
If the air is rather dry, let there be less
ventilation; more if moist, and according
TO the amonnt Of moisture. Apples will
rapidly dry and shrink when exposed to
dry air. A cellar will in general not
bear the exposure, much less fruit
room.
1t is important that there be ualJarm
and loao temperature. The uniformity is
generally unheeded, to the damage Of the
fruit. If just above the freezing point
the temperature is the right thing. Keep
as near this as possible and if any change
occur, as it usually will, see that it be
gradual, in which case there will he little
hurt. To secure all this, the windows
should be made double and hung so rs to
open and shut readily, the rest of the Gel
lar or building frost proof BY the win
dOws the temperature is to be regulated.
Throw open in the fall and spring when
cool, which is usually at night, and close
when warm. This keeps uniform cool
ness. In winter reverse-open when mild,
and close when cold. It is best TO have
two apartments for fruit: one cool, where
the fruit is intended for long keeping; the
other warmer, where 1t is TO be used along,
as warmth will hasten uaaturity.-C0r.

The progress in manufacturing hard.
ware i'm America has advanced so rapidly
and effectively that foreign articles are
now almost out of the market, with the ex-
ception Of few specialties such as fine
cutlery and some small tools Further than
this, il is said that not only is the importa-
ton of foreign hardware nearly ceased,
but the expectation of railway fastenings;
locks, springs, curry combs, tin wares, and
edge tools, and other similar articles has
already commenced, and nov seriously
compete in Sheffield and Birmingham
with their own manufactures.

Sweethearts, Well, perhsps-you see
There's a newsboy-name OF johnny
Saws nv immidge fills his heart;
II had to choose sweetheart,
Maybe John might get the start.
Johnny,s Just as good as can be,
And 1 b'lieve likes him-some;
Meets me now most every evening,
Sos to see me safe at home.
Rows is awful plenty nowadays.
But there's none as good az him.
There was one that used to like me,
But he's laid up now, Is jim.

But those boys could not agree;
Always used 10 hate each other,
Though what for | couldn't see;
Till at asst II came to fighting,
Which ia sinful-ain't 1t, sir!
But. if fighting fair is wicked,
Two to one is wckeder.
That's what made me down on Jimmy,
Cause he laid trap for John;
Though he got boy TO help him
Fore he dared to try it on.
So one night they hid together,
Round corner, Bill and Jim,
And. az John was passing by EN-,
Both jumped out and sprung at him.
But they didn't catch him dreaming,
For he turned AZ quick's flash,
Slnnc Jim down an open cellar,
Sos it broke his leg to smash.
1t was over in second
Jim was groaning where he lay;
Pill -emem hered an engagement
Which he had another way.
Then that boys great heart showed up, sir,
In the way he treated jim.
Went to work and got a stretcher,
Easy for his hurried limu;
Got him to the hospital:
Had him taken in all right;
Watched beside him like brother
Through that long and weary night.
In the morning drew his savings
From the bank, sir. every bit;
Told the doctors they must use 1t
All for Jimmy's benefit
Mister. don't you s'pose the angels,
Filling Heaven with peace and JOY,
Must have shaken hands together
When they heard about that boys
God has made US all, know. sir.
And His goodness we must praise,
But it seems pity, don't it,
That He doesn't try to raise
More OF those that live uprightly?
Showing weaker people how
I'm so glad Excuse me, mister,
There is Johnny coming now!
