Apples of California.

Concerning California apples the
Pacific Rural Press thinks there can De
but one opinion, and that is: They are,
in a remarkable degree, lacking IN
strength and variety of flavor. Apple
consumers here universally acknowledge
it, and so little is expected of California
apples in this respect that the growers
give little consideration to the question
of flavor; and, as a consequence OF this
indifference in regard to all fruit quail
ties, excepting size and beauty, varieties
have become so confused that dealers, and
even producers, scarcely know what they
are selling, further than that they are
apples" 1t is further said: ''They are
neither very sweet nor very sour, for we
cannot produce as sour apples as are
grown in the East-some of which, to
use a standard expression, you'd make
a pig sQueal to eat them-neither are our
sweet apples as sweet as theirs. Not
only are these extremes of sweet and
sour wanting in California apples,
but we fail to secure the varied
delicacies of flavor which charac-
terize the scores Of varieties of apples
sold in the Eastern markets, and
| those possessing marked individuality of
| flavor. The Spitzenberg, for instance, is
greatly modified in flavor when acclima-
tized here. Those who are familiar with
the apple instanced above, as it is grown
at the East, know that plate of them
placed upon the table in winter land they
should not be brought forth for eating
until midwinter) will fill the room with
their invigorating odor; and they will also
| testify that the flavor is fully equal to the
odor Most partial of Californians will
scarcely claim that our Spitzenberg ap-
pies are up to the standard, though with
us they are large, smooth and shapely;
while at the East they are small, warty
and sided" This g toning down" of
flavor is thought to be undoubtedly"
the consequence of the "change of eli
mate, and, such being the case, we must
not expect a perpetual cure even were
we to introduce the most radical change"
| 1t is said, in conclusion, that Gin order
to successfully compete with our Eastern
rivals we shall be compelled to keep up
an importation of trees and cions belong
ing to varieties which possess these char

How to Destroy the Chinch Bug.

A Missouri farmer thus tells the St.
Louis Republican how he manages the
chinch bug: Take an empty barrel Ia coal
oil barrel preferred, one that has been
lately emptied); fill the barrel with dog
tennel every farmer knows what dog-fen-
mel isl, pound it well down with wooden
maui until your barrel is about one third
full; make strong soft-soap suds, using
about half gallon of soap to each barrel;
have your water hot and pour your suds
into the barrel while hot. Let it stand ten
or twelve hours. When cold take COM
mon sprinkler, such as are used in stores or
gardens, sprinkle well every hill of corn
that is infested with the bug; where the
bug has got between the stalk and the
blade it will be necessary to be particular
so as to get the liquor in contact with
the bug; two dressings will generally
vanish the enemy. If you have no coal
oil barrel use about half a gallon of coal
oil for each barrel. You can I'LL your
barrel twice without putting in any fresh
fennel, stirring up the fennel when you
puy in fresh suds. If you want to save
your corn lose no time in trying the
above remedy. The same will etfectually
destroy the pOtatO-bug.

An Ingenious Counterfeit.

The public are cautioned against coun-
teTfeit tive-dollar national bank notes on
the Traders National Bank, Of Chicago,
Ill, which have been discovered by the
officers acting under the direction OF Mr..
j. G. Whitley, Chief of the United States
Secret Service. The general appearance
of the note is such as to deceive, although
a close examination betrays many essen
tial points of difference, as follows: In
der the letter c in the word Chicago"
on the face of the note, the last shade
line runs into the top of the first letter
Of the word pay" which is directly I'M
der it, while in the genuine a distinct
space intervenes In the date of the
year 1865, under the right-hand end of
the words fve-dollars" in the body OF
the note, the numerals6 and 3 come close
ly together. In the counterfeit there IS
a much wider space. The panels in the
border surrounding the face of the genu-
Inc note have numerous marks OF the
drapery; in the counterfeit the marks
are fewer and less distinct. On the re
verse of the note the most distinctive
point of difference between the counter
felt and the genuine appears in the lathe
work inclosing the figure "5," at the
lower right and left-hand corners OF the
note, the eccentric circles being nearly
round and very distinct in the counter
felt and much more eccentric and less
clear in the genuine The kneellng
figures in the left-hand of the vignette on
the back of the note are much less dis
tinct than in the genuine and the work
generally is coarser. The paper upon
which the note is printed is inferior in
quality to that used by the Government,
being much coarser; but the entire bill
is liable to deceive even an expert at the
first glance.-Chicago Times.

The Worlds Population.

a report from the United States Bu-
reau of Statistics at Washington, just is
sued, contains an interesting table of the
population Of the earth, taken chiefly
from the work on that subject issued this
year at Gotha by Drs. Benin and Wag-
ner and founded on the most recent au-
thOrities. By this statement the
aggregate population of the earth is
given at 1881 OBJ, 900, Asia being the

lation is given at 1874 800, and the Poly
nesian Islands at 2,763, 800, New Guinea
ana New Zealand beng included in the
latter In Africa the chief divisions are
West Soudan and the Central African re-
gion, with 80, 600 600; the Central Soudan

are north of the isthmus, where the
United States has nearly 100000;
Mexico over 100000, and the British
Provinces 100000. The total popula-
ton Of North America is given at nearly
52,O00,00O, and of South America, $780,

Daily Savings.

But few people are aware of the results
to be accomplished in series OF years
by the habit of saving a small amount
each day and putting it to interest. Most
persons spend these small amounts on
Unnecessary and useless luxuries; and,
because each amount is small, they fail
to take any particular notice of it and
utterly fail to estimate the aggregate OF
such spendings during the course of life.
In this way many man spends fortune
without knowing it; and in this way, too,
the poor are kept poor Most people in
this country who enjoy an average degree
of health and who are industrious earn,
at least, small surplus beyond their
necessary expenses; and if they would
save this surplus and put it to interest
they would find in the end much larger
accumulation than they had anticipated.
Thousands Of them would have a com
potency, if living to old age, instead of
being dependant on the charity of others.
We submit the following table to show
what would be the result at the end of
fifty years by saving a certain amount
each day and putting it to interest at the
rate of Dpr cent

sole evidence of mans existence brought
up from the bottom. The writer of this
article had, however, the luck to be
present on the occasion of one of the
rare exceptions to this general rule. In
a dredging cruise of the Blue Light, last
summer, in Casco Bay, the trawl brought
up, along with anemones, star-hsh, skates
and sculpins, shoe of modern manu-
facture, and only remarkable, if at all,
as to its size. What seems still more
singular coincidence was that the next
haul of the trawl brought up the mate
of this big shoe. The pair were in
very dilapidated condition as shoes, but
they rank high as curiosities. The oc-
currence was so unusual that it has been
suggested that there was some legerde-
main about it-that it was neatly-con-
triyed hoax. To this the only reply must
be that seeing is believing" No one
that saw the shoe taken out of the midst OF
the mud of the trawl-pocket was troubled
with the doubt that harassed King
George about the apple-dumpling.-

hours; then taken out and tested, to
ascertain that they are alright; then
boiled for two hours more; then dipped
in I've to remove all oily substances from
the cans; then washed with cold water
by means of a hose; then removed TO
the storerOom, where another man dips
them in a preparation that protects the
can from rust; another person puts on
the label; another puts them in the case,
and another nails it up, when it is ready
for shipment.
1T will be seen that from the time
salmon is caught until it is ready for
shipment it passes through at least TWEEN
ty-seyen hands.
1t requires ten men to make tin can
from the removal of the tin from the box
until it is ready to receive the fish. The
perfection Of the whole process depends
on every department, from the begin
ming to the end being attended to with
the utmost care, attention and thorough
supervision"
