in his trip to England at the outbreak Of

TIE American system for barreling ap.
pies for expectation astonishes Europe
ans greatly, In England the apples are
placed on shelves in fruit houses, con
structed specially for the purpose, and
no one thinks Of sending them long dis
tances to market. The American apples,
which now go to England In large Quan.
titles, surprise them considerably. The
Newtown pippin was few years ago the
iavOrite American apple in the English
market, but since the failure Of that varie.
ty It's place has been taken up by the
Baldwin and Rhode Island greening
chiefly. The great point with the Ameri.
can expectation Of apples to England is
not the excellent condition in which they
arrive there 80 much US the low price at
which they can be sold. A fine American
apple can generally undersell the Eng.
lish home article in the London and
Liverpool markets.

AN AGED RECLUsE the wilder
ness eight miles northwest of Ding
man S Ferry, Pike county, Pa, under a
huge rock, in a cave six by eight feet,
has lived for upward of thirty years, a
human being named Austin Sheldon.
He was born in w ales, and emigrated
to this country about the year 1910.
When he landed in New York he had
q small sum of money, with which he
went on foot to Pike county and pur-
chased a single acre Of wild, unculti-
waited land, situated in Lehman town.
ship. amid dense and dismal forest,
several miles from any habitation.
Sheldon is nearly seventy years of age.
Ills face has not been shaven for forty
years. The sides of his face and chin
and neck are covered with coarse gray
hair, while his beard is several feet in
length and white as snow. He wears
the same suit of clothes he wore twens
ty years ago, which are so badly rent
as to render it necessary to fasten them
together by means of twisted hickork
withes. He never works, and unless
obliged to go to the nearest store for
ammunition, never leaves sight Of his
cave.

HOW AMAN FOOLED HIS WIFE.

He was an awful mean man, He car
ried $50 counterfeit bill to make a
show of it sometimes when lingering
for single drink or Wheeling stogy.
His poor, hard working wife had been
begging for nice gold chain she had
seen in shop window down town.
One day he felt in merry mood, gave
her the counterfeit bill and told her to
buy the chain. Then he left home
laughing so hard that he had to go and
take drink to wet it down. HE may
have taken several drinks. He went
home full of jokes. It appeared to be
the happiest day of his life. He made
a fool Of the old woman, but the old
woman wore that gold chain at the
dinner table, and called the brute cher
dear old darling" This put another
face on the whole affair. 1t had ceased
TO be joke to him. The jeweler
called before dinner, and handing him
the base note told him to ''shell out"
fifty dollars if he wished to escape an.
noyance. He shelled out. and has
never been able TO see the point of his
own joke.

WHAT IS IT 70 Be a CHRISTIAN 2

1t will be great help if at starting
you have a right idea of what it really
is to be Christian. Do not look at
1t first as something that is going to
make you happy. Think, rather, that
you are aiming to be the best and
noblest kind of man and woman.
You are going to be faithful, and brave,
and ,unselfish and lovable. You are
going to think more of other peoples
happiness than of your own. You are
to live like child Of God, taking him
for your father, trusting HIM for every
thing, seeking through his help to be
like him. In word you are to try to
live like Jesus Christ lived. Never
forget that to be Christian is to be
like Christ.
Perhaps to some Of you the words
''to be like Christ" have a kind Of
beautiful sound, but not a very clear
meaning. Let Us start at the begin
ming, then, with something SO simple
that all can understand it. The first
thing is to be like Christ, and the
great thing, is to be faithful to every
thing that we know is right. Tha.
means great deal. 1t means some.
thing different at every hour. In
school time it means studying ones
lessons faithfully; at playtime, it means
being generous and gentle and fair
when we are at home, it is to be watch
full for the comfort and happiness of
every one in the house; when we are
tempted to any kind Of evil, by other
people, Or by our own thoughts, it is
saying no, and sticking to it. 1t is a
thousand such things as these that
make up Christian life.

GIVING AND RECEIVING.

Give and it shall sh all be given unto
you. There must be stream going
cut, if you would have one flowing in.
BY emptying the top Of the pump we
drain water from the bottom of the
well. BY scattering seed we increase
our harvest. If we care for Gods chill
dren God will care for US. We may
lend to the Lord generously; he will
not be long in debt to US. A faithful
steward is one who regards his masters
will and disregards his own. God loves
to be trusted, and he knows those who
honor him with their substance, as we'll
as with their words.
AS servants of the Lord we must not
involve his property in risks and specu-
lations We have no right to be en-
tangled with debts and liabilities. We
must be just before we are generous,
and when we are out of debt we know
just what we have, and who it belongs
to. No one else can do our work, Or
discharge our duty. When we know a
thing needs doing, the best way is to
go and doit. A courageous heart wins
halt the battle The man who boldly
works for the Lord, will find helpers
rise up on every hand. Lift up STAINS
dard, and many will rally around it.
While Faintheart is making excuses,
Greatheart is doing the work. Trust
in God brings no disappointment
Work done for God never fails of It's
reward. All that we leave in Gods
hands is laid up in safe keeping. Gods
obligations never outlaw,-and if he
takes to all eternity to pay them, they
draw compound interest all the time.
A little while and all our earthly
possessions shall pass away from our
grasp, happy shall they be in that day
who are rich in good works, willing to
distribute, and who having laid up a
good foundation against the time to
come, shall lay hold on eternal life

gArTEEuL DOCS.

The Se1al;a Democrat gives an sc
count Of child, five years old, that
strayed away from its home, accom-
panied by two dogs, and was lost III
some woods about three miles from
home. 1t said:
AS in our account yesterday, the last
seen of the child was in a fence corner
with his dogs. From there it seems
he wandered into the woods belonging
to Judge Woods, eight miles from
Lexington, and TIM miles from his
home. Here, probably, night over
took the little wanderer, and darkness
closed upon him, cold, tired and hun
cry, with none to aia him but his faiths
full four footed companions. The
nights at this time of the year are too
severe for a robust man to be exposed,
and certainly tender child, almost an
infant, would surely succumb to the
biting temperature.
But there is watchful Providence
above, and his interposition in this case
seems miraculous. The faithful dogs,
with an instinct that seems equal to
human intelligence, went to work and
scratched together a bed of leaves. Into
this the boy crept, and then the intelli-
gent animals lay down one on each
side of him, and kept him warm
through the night with the heat of their
| bodies. -Etf.f-,rf
Morning broke with the boy safe,
| his shaggy guardians remaining at
their post. Though rested and I'M.
refreshed, he was almost famished with
hunger. Again the wonderful instinct
Of the faithful dogs was equal to the
emergency. They set out foraging,
chased ard killed a rabbit, and brought
it to their young charge, laying it at
his feet. The boy eagerly ate Of the
raw meat, and when discovered was
busily engaged in appeasing his hun
ger.
When the party who discovered him
endeayored to approach the child the
dogs became ferocious, and would not
let one of them approach him. The
boys father and the dogs master had
to be sent for before they could get the
child from his noble protectors.
The joy of the parents can easily be
imagined, and we viii guarantee to say
that all the wealth Of Lafayette county
would not purchase one of these dogs.
