How to Keep Apples. Through
the Winter.

The following excellent suggestions
are by Alexander Hyde, in the New
York Times:
20 aid the barrel and the skin of the
apple in keeping out the air, many
wrap their apples in paper-manila pa
per Is the best and is very cheap, but
old newspapers will ans ger-each APP
pie by itself. This not only aids In
keeping out the air, but prevents the
apple from bruising in transportation.
Oranges are always imported with a
paper wrapper around them. Paper is
not only very impervious 10 air, but is
a non-cenductor of heat and serves to
keep the fruit of a uniform tempera-
tare-a point Of some importance.
A more efectual mode still of pre-
serving apples is to I'LL the barrels near
ly full OF apples and then put in some
thoroughly dry, fine sand and shake II
down gently This will I'LL up all the
interstlces between the apples and keep
them indefinitely and almost perfectly
fresh. In lieu OF dry sand, ground
plaster (gypsuiu) may be used. and il
perhaps still better, as it is more coin-
pact and therefore, less perviuus to air.
We have known apples kept in this
manner for two years.
The virtues Of dry sand and plaster
for preserving aprie>, pears and other
fruits are well understood by the
premium hunters at our horticultural
fairs. The incest specimens of Bartlett
pears are packed away in sand and
brought out month or six weeks after
they are picked as fresh rs though they
were just picked from the tree. Il is
very little trouble to put plaster or
sand into barrel; but it is some both
Grafton to get the apples out and wash
and wipe them, and the transportation
Of sand will never pay, so we should
not recommend this practice except
for few choice barrels for the use OF
family and friends.
Another mode very analogous to the
foregoing is to pit che apples in some
dry, sandy, or gravelly soil, just as tur-
nips and potatoes are pitted. They
will keep splendidly through the win
ter thus pitted, but must be used speed
lily in the spring after they are dug out,
as they will rot soon after exposure to
the light and. air. In order to pit ap-
Piles, select some dry spot, where there
is no possibility Of water filling the pit,
oho OtS q hOiC thiCO vi lOul ICCl oCOp
and of any required size, place some
clean, dry straw on the bottom, and on
this the apples, to tie depth of two
feet, covering the whole with a layer
of straw and then layer of dry earth,
raising the latter above the general
level Of the ground and sloping it roof
fashion so that it will shed rain. The
apples will come out in the spring as
crisp.as. cabbage when pitted in this
way.
Instead of one large pit, it Is better
to make several small ones, holding
eight to twelve bushels each, $50 that
one pit may be opened after another in
the spring, as the apples may be want
ed, or the apples may be buried in the
ground in barrels and barrel taken ur
at time. We have known this latter
mode to succeed admirably.

EIsss and freshness Of yossth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by it's use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles sre de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decsyed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, SO that q new
growth Of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pssty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or. falling OF, and
consequently prevent badness. The

deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-

benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.

When the baby died, We said.
With a sudden, secret dread,
death, be merciful, and pass;
Leave the other" But, alas,
While we watched he waited there,
One foot on the golden stair,
One hand beckoning at the gate,
Till the home was desolate.
Friends say, it is better so,
Clothed in inDOcense to goi
Saw, to ease your parting pain,
That your loss is but their gain.
All, the parents think OF this,
But remember more the kiss
From the little rose-red lips!
And the print of finger-tips
Left upon a broken toy
Will remind them how the boy ,
And his sister charmed the days
With their pretty winsome ways.
Only time can give relief
10 the weary, lonesome grief;
Gods sweet minister CT pain
Then shall sing of loss and gain.

SECURING THE TREASURE.
BROOKLYN NAVY YARD,

Virtual Suspension OF Work-Com-
plants Of the Uncmployed-The Com
necticut Election.
During the past week 300 men have been dis.
charged from the Brooklyn Navy Yard, which
amounts virtually to a suspension Of the work.
Indeed, prominent Officer said the other day that,
in consequence OF the failure OF the House com
mittee to concur IN the Senate amendments to the
Naval Appropriation bill. the yard would have to
be closed entirely by the LIST oil April Should this
end be accomplished through the exercise OF pre-
tended economy 1t will be done for the first time
in the history OF the Brooklyn yard. In the course
OF the next ten days 1t Is expected that Of the
war ships which have been exercising in the VI
cnlty Of Key West Will arrive at this station and
VIII 90 out OF commission. The crews Will be COM
PEELED to dismantle their ships. This latter work
has been heretofore done by the yard workmen.
The discharged employees naturally complain
bitterly OF the action OF the government,
which has turned deaf ear to Their
dire necessities throughout the winter by
failing to give them employment when there re-
mains plenty to be done. The Florida has been
taken TO the naval station at New London, and
the Minnesota will be towed to the same place on
Tuesday. IL Is currently reported that these ves-
sells will be swarmed with Connecticut voters In
order to induce them to give strength TO the adj
ministration party In the approaching election in
the Nutmeg State The result OF the New Hamp
shire election has not been such as to guarantee
success to the party In power.

Hiram Gardner, who mas held many stations of

Of Canal Commissioner, County Judge and Sur,o.
gate Of Niagara county, died yesterday at his re-
dence, at the end Of o sudden illness. Judge Gard
ner was educated as lawyer and early settled il
Lockport, where he took q leading position at the
Bar holding IL with conspicuous ability and purity
during long and honorable life. He was Origi-
nally democrat, but upon the organization of the
free soil party in 1S4s, joined that movement
and was ever afterward determined foe
OF slavery and an enthusiastic supporter OF the
republican party, which frequently rewarded
him with nigh office. In the practice OF his pro.
fesslOn ana in other pursuits he acquired one OF
the handsOmest properties In LOckpOrt. Genial,
with fine vein OF poetic religioa-strange, cer-
tainly, to the lives OF the majority OF American
pOlitiCians-he was we'll known and cordially well
coined in all parts OF Western New York. He was
at his death one OF the few public men or the
State OF the time anG kindly character OF Thurlow
Weed, with whom, however, he did not always re-
tain political atflliatlons. Western New York still
has many survivors OF his stamp, but one by one
