Now. he had done a good deal of bust

ness in his way to the fair, and he was hot
and tired. He wanted something to eat,
and glass of brandy to drink; and soon
he was in front of the inn. He was Just
about to step in when the hostler came
out, so they met at the door. The hostler
was carrying sack.
"What have you in that sack?" asked
the peasant.
Rotten apples, answered the hostler !;
"a whole sackful of them-enough to
feed the pigs with"
"Why, that's terrible waste! l should
like to take them to my old woman at
home. Last year the old tree by the turf
hole, only bore Il single apple. and we
kept it on the cupboard till it was quite
rotten and spoit. 1t was always prop
erty.' my old woman said; but here she
could see Il quantity of property-a whole
sackful. Yes, l shall be glad to show them
to her"
"What will you give for that sackful?'
asked the hostler.
"What will give? will give my fowl
in exchange"
And he gave the fowl accordingly, and
received the apples, which he carried into
the guest room. lie leaned the sack care
fully by the stove, and then went to the
table But the stove was hottie had not
thought of that. Many guests were pres
ent-horse- dealers, herds, and two Eng
lishmen-and the two Englishmen were sc
rich that their pockets bulgcd out with golt
coins, and almost burst; and they coult
bet too, as you shall hear.
Hiss-s-s. hiss-s-s. What was that by
the stove? The apples were beginning to
roast.
what is that?"

And he told the whole story Of the
horse that he had changed for a COW, ant
all the rest of it, down to the apples.
well, your old woman will give it to

two EngIishmen. There will be i lis

Shall we wager?' said the English
men. :" Wen wager coined gold by thu

peasant. " can only set the bushel 0
apples against it; and I'll throw mysel

WAYS IN WHICH TIE Sun INFLr ENCES
THE EARTII.-lf we now turn to the sun
we find that there are three distinct forms
in motion which animate his surface par
tccs. In the first place, each particle is
carried round by the rotation of our lumi-
nary. Secondly, each particle is influenced
by the gigantic meteorological disturban-
ccs of the surface, in virtue ofwhich it may
acquire Il velocity ranging rs high as 1870
or 40 miles 4 second; and lastly. each
particle. on account of its high tcmpera-
turc, is vibrating with extreme rapditv,
and the energy of those vibrations COM
municated to lis by means of the thereal
medium produces the wcll-known light
and heat effect of the sun.
Now, is it philosophical to suppose that
it is only the last of these three motions
that Influences our earth. while the other
two produce absolutely no effect? On the
contrary, we are, think, compelled, by
considerations connected with the theory
of energy, to attribute an influence, wheth-
er great or small, to the first two rs well
as to the last.
We are thus led to suppose that the sun
must influence the earth in three WAYS one
depending on his rotation, and another
on his meteorological disturbance, and q
third by means of the vibrations of his
surface particles.
But we have already seen that. as n
matter of fact. the sun does appear to in
fuence the earth in three distinct WAYS
one magneticaliv and meteorologically
depending Apparently on his period of
rotation; Il second cyclonicaly, depending
apparently on the meteorological conditions
of his surface; and a third. by means of
his light and heat.-Popular Science

Strange Matches.

It is a historical fact that Frederick
of Prussia formed the idea of compelling
unions between the tallest Of the two
sexes in his dominions, in the hope of
having an army Of giants. The reader
will, in all probability, recollect the fol-
lowing ludicrous incident: 1t so hap
pened that during rather long ride the
King passed particularly tall young
woman, an utter stranger. He alighted
from his horse, and insisted upon her
delivering a letter to the commanding
officer of his crack regiment. The letter
contained the mandate that the bearer
was instantly to be married to the tallest
unmarried man in the service. The
young woman was somewhat terrified,
and, not understanding the transaction,
gave an old woman the letter, which was
conveyed to the commanding officer, and
this old woman was, in short time mar
ried to the handsomest and finest man in
the crack regiment. It is not necessary
to say that the marriage was an unhappy
one-particularly so to the old woman.
In this connection comes another anec
dote. A rich saddler directed in his will
that his own child, daughter, should
be deprived of the whole of his fortune
unless she married saddler. A young
earl, in order to win the bride, actually
served an apprenticeship of seven years
to a saddler, and afterwards bound him
self to the rich saddler's daughter for
life. But the union was anything but
happy one; the bride, neither by birth
nor breeding lady, reflected little credit
on her battle-ground choice; and repeated
quarrels were followed by separation.
So it is with unequal matches gold and
brass won't unite. Novels tell us that
felicity followed the union of Lord Fitz-
gerald to Mary Ann Jones, quite ignor-
ing Mary AIMS predisposition to. red
knuckles and unshapely feet, which pc
culiarities finally make my lords life
burdensome. Novels are amusing, but
not to be relied on in matters of the
heart, as rule. Common sense says:

of your social and religious circle"

New York Fashion Notes.

FRENCH heels are no longer fashion
able.
WAISTS are made long, and to look as
slender as possible.
WHITE double breasted waistcoats are
worn with the frock coat to show above
the turnover of the lapel.
WAIsTcoATs are single breasted, with
out a collar, cut long, and with four out
side patch-pockets, to match the coat.
PANTALooNs are cut straight and full to
the leg, with side-pockets and welt on the
outside seams. There is no spring to the
bottoms.
MANY toilettes this season have only
one skirt, but of such heavy material and
SO abundantly trimmed, that it is even
more expensive than double skirt
NEARLY all dresses now have draw
ing-string in the back, to make them con
venient for home and street wear, and if
properly adjusted, they are equally serv-
iceable for either.
The spring style of coats for gentle
men is of medium length, brttoned rather
high, and cut away enough from the third
button to display the waistcoat. There
are four outside patch-pockets, and the
garment, is always worn buttoned.
A FEW sensible ladies have introduced
the fashion of wearing new style of
boot in stormy weather. They are made

The Bean,

The bean { Vici0 Fnbay was cultivated
at an early date in Egypt and Palestine
Curious superstitions concerning the
vegetable were held by various nations
of antiquity. The Egyptian priests for
babe the very sight of it, as an unclean
thing; and the priests of Jupiter were not
allowed to touch it, or even speak its
name. 1t is said that the Roman family
of the Fabii derived their name from the
plant. Besides the ordinary use of the
bean, the Romans made it into meal,
which was mixed with -four, and was
also esteemed by the ladies as a cos
metic.
The vegetable was probably introduced
the other countries of Modern Europe.
1t is supposed to be a native of the
shores of the Caspian sea. In Barbary,
where it is largely cultivated, the seeds
are full grown by the end of February,
and the plants continue in bearing
through the spring. The plant is very
prolific. A single specimen has been
known to bear 1875 pods, containing 800
perfect seeds. It is said that Alexander
the Great brought the kidney-bean
(Phaseolus Vulgaris) into Europe.
About the year 1909, they found their
way from the Netherlands into England.
The scarlet-runner (PhoseeIu8 moolti7or-
u.s. was carried to England from South
America, it's native habitat, in 1888, and
was for some time cultivated for orna-
mental purposes before it was used for a
culinary vegetable Contrary TO the
Usual habit of climbers, the tendrils of
the scarlet-runner turn to the right. 1t
has been supposed that this peculiarly
is accounted for by the fact that the
plant originated south of the equator,
where, by turning to the right, its ten
drills follow the apparent diurnal course
of the sun.
Beans are very nutritious, containing,
when ripe, about 36 per cent. Of starch
and % per cent. of legune, nitrogen

The KrOOk Mex SUuaSh.

One Ov the hansumest and most grace
full herbs in the whole garden when it liz
yung and innosent, and one of the most
awkward and painful to admire when it
gets anshient, is the krook mex squash.
They are a delikate rose color when
they begin life, with skin az soft and
fair az a button kid gluv on the hand
ov fair lady, but when they hay got
thru with this life, and are reddy to be
turned out to die, they arc az yello az
skotch snuff, and az full ov ugly warts az
an antidiluvian toad
The krook mex amt good for diet when
it gets ripe-it amt any better than a
seed cowcumber
When they get ripe yu kan hang them
up In the woodhous chamber, and they
will keep thare without splitting az long
az quart bottle.
They are half full ov seeds at maturity,
and will rattle like shot in a blown up
bladder.
They hav mex on them az long az a
goose, with krook in it that even death
kant straighten out.
To sustain life with, the krook mex
stands about half way between billed
pumpkin and masht turnip, and kan be
sedused into a pi that IL hard to be sassy
to.
The squash is very whry nekl, but kon-
sidering that it is not endowed with
reazon, behaves itself on all ockashuns
better than man duz.
[ luv all the vegetables, and all the
animals, and all the inanimate things
better than [ do the humans, bekause
thare IL less frauds and ded beats amung
them.
1t IL true, if yu fool around the hornet
or the red-pepper, yu may git bit, and if
yu are kareless with onion juice yu may
hay to smart for it, and nettles will sting
if yu squeeze them, but they won't emmy
ov them lie in wait for yu, and follow yu
all around the country, and even chaseyu
into meeting house to git a good kack

The krook mex squash il good job

Unabridged Dictionary" and sat down
to his desk and wrote on fly leaf
Presented to Philip G. Raymond, on
his fifteenth birthday, by his affectionate
father, Peter Raymond. And then,
without closing the book, he passed it to
Philip.
Philip could bear no more. The tears
that had come to his eyes twenty times
during the day, and as many times had
been forced back, now overfowed his
eyelids and rGn down his cheeks. He
stammered
You are too kind to me, father /
do not deserve this
"Don't deserve it, Philip p exclaimed
Mr.. Raymond, with much apparent sur
prise. " I think you'd better leave that
to my Judgment [ should like to know
what boy does deserve kindness from his
father, if you don't? If [ had dozen
sons [ could not ask them to be more
faithful and industrious than you have
been. There, there don't shed any
tears over it-you're tired-better go to
bed as soon as you can, SO as to feel fresh
in the morning. II it's good day to-
morrow we must secure that rowen."
"Thank you, father, Philip said, with
q1ivering voice, and went Immediately
up stairs. If he had been a little less
overcome himself he would have noticed
that his fathers voice was slightly shaky,
and if he had looked back as he passed
out of the door he would have seen his
father brush tear or two from his own
eyes.
Henceforth there was no lack of con-
fidence, sympathy and affection between
Mr.. Raymond and Philip; and by reason
of private interview that Mr.. Raymond
had with Clinton Dexter's father, Gin
toms home life was much more agreeable
than heretofore.
Philip has always looked back to his
fifteenth birthday as a remarkable epoch
in his life and he never ceased-until
his aged father recently visited him and
heard him speak rather harshly to his
own little son-to marvel this wonderful
change that came over his father, him
self, or both, at that time Then his
father took him aside and told him the
whole story, and cautioned him against
growing into the habit of speaking that
way to his children.
always remember, Philip" he said,
that crustiness and harshness are no
more agreeable to child's feelings than
they are to a grown persons !; and that
they are more likely to lead any one out
of the right path than into it and that
they never will forget love-"

Unsettled Condition of EurOpe

Europe is not in condition which
promises lasting peace. In Russia
there is widespread discomfort and I'M
certainty. The social results of the
emancipation of the serfs cannot yet be
predicted, and socialism is spreading
rapidly among the working classes, and
the army, which is undergoing reorgan-
ization, is not yet in an effective condi-
ton. In Germany the feeling that the
empire rests on Bismarck's shoulders
renders the public mind uneasy as to
the consequences which will follow his
death. Austria is trying the experiment
of dual government, and the success of
the experiment is predetermined. Den
mark breads an attack from Germany,
and is troubled with struggle between
the peasanty and the landholders. Tur-
key is nearly bankrupt. France is with
out permanent government and bur-
dened by the cost of a destructive war.
Anarchy rules Spain, and Belgium is
torn with religious strife. Only in Italy
and England is there promise of peace
and prosperity. This almost universal
discomfort and uneasiness, coupled with
the efforts of all nations to bring their
armies up to the highest point of eff
iciency, foreshadows the near approach
of war, and the very recognition of the
fact that war may break out any day rem
ders the confidence which is the neces-
sary condition of prosperity all the more
impossible. -Nea0 York Graphic.
