Beau Brummel at Saratoga.

The Courier-JournM has already been
Informed of the presence of a gentleman
at Saratoga who rivals our sex in number
and variety of his toilets. He, however,
denies having seventy-five suits, and tells
me he has only twenty five here with him.
He says everybody has a weakness for
something, and he modestly confesses his
is for dress. Every spring and autumn
Poole, of London, sends him a box of sam
pies, and he devotes his evenings to max
ing selection. 1t takes him two months
to make choice for six suits; he always
purchases six new suits spring and fall,
and as he keeps them all of course they
accumulate. His bootmaker in Paris has
his last, and regularly sends him full
supply of slippers, boots and shoes, suita-
BILE for every conceivable occasion. He
has small foot he tells me. wished to
be exact, SO cunningly asked what size
was small for man, but he says he does
not know what number he wears, as his
shoes and boots are always made on last.
I caught glimpse of his red and white
striped hose with blue field on the back
of the ankle, and congratulated him on his
Centennial stockings, but he said he pur-
chased them in Europe two years ago.

The Correct Way to Pluck Apples
and Pears.

To pluck fruit of any sort signifies to
take hold of it by the hand and sever the
stem from the twigs. If any one will
examine the stem of an apple he will per-
ceive that there is a seam between the
end of the stem and the twig. At this
season the stem should be severed from
the twig. Hence the stem should be
clasped by the thumb and one finger in
such a manner that the stem and twig
will separate at the seam. Many apples
and certain varieties of pears adhere so
firmly to the twigs that if one takes hold
of the fruit and pulls the stem will be
drawn out of the cavity Of the apple or
the twig will be broken off. Many times
when apples are hard to pluck long
piece of twig and several fruit buds will
be torn off the limb. Beginners should be
taught, when fruit will not separate easily
from the twigs, to seize the stem and
thrust the thumb nail against the stem
close to the seam, at the same time bend
ing the stem across the edge of the nail.
When the stem is handled in this manner
the twig and stem will always separate at
the seam. If the stem is drawn out of the
fruit, as it often will be when fruit comes
off hard, premature decay is liable to
commence in the cavity Of the apple.
Another reason why the stem should be
severed at the seam is, the fruit buds,
from which the fruit for the next season
will grow, should be left on the trees, or
there can be no fruit. When an ignorant
ard needless helper chambers about in the
tree tops, crushing the buds and twigs
beneath his huge feet, and when he
breaks off numerous twigs and ends of
fruit branches and thrashes the outside of
the tops with pole, he will often destroy
buds sufficient to make bushel of apples.
Let the unsophisticated be taught that if
they destroy the fruit buds the present
autumn they will ruin the crop of fruit
for next year. The next thing of prime
importance is to handle valuable fruit
with as much carefulness as one transfers
eggs from one basket to another. When
an apple drops into barrel, or falls on
other fruit, or encounters the limb of a
tree in its descent, it will be bruised more
or less. Bruises will sometime dry up,
but as general rule bruises will promote
speedy decay. Hence, apples should
never be poured from one basket to an
other, nor from basket into a barrel or
box. When plucking fruit it is often the
practice to hang grain-ba about ones
neck, or across the shoulder, with the
mouth before the operator, who puts the
apples into the bag as fast as the fruit is
plucked. But bag is the most improper
receptacle that can be employed for hold
ing fruit of any sort, for the reason that
when the bag Of fruit is moved about q
large portion Of it will be bruised more or
less. Let the incredulous fill d bag with
apples or pears and then lift the bag Of
fruit into wagon box and take it-out

On ChimbOraZO.

Prof. James Orion, of Vassar College,
has twice visited the equatorial Andes and
the Amazon River, and written a very
readable book thereon, from which the
following graphic passages are taken;
There must be something singularly
sublime about Chimborazo, for the spec
tator, at Riobamba, is already 5000 feet
high, and the mountain is not so elevated
above him as Mont Blanc above the vale
of Chamouni, when, in reality, that cul-
minating point of Europe would not reach
up even to the snow limit of Chimborazo
by 1900 feet. 1t is only while sailing on
the Pacific that one sees ChimbOraZO in
its complete proportions. Its very magni-
tude diminlshes the impression of awe
and wonder, for the Andes on which it
rests are heaved to such vast altitude
above the sea, that the relative elevation
of its summit becomes reduced by COM
parison with the surrounding mountains.
Its altitude is 81, 400 feet, or forty five
times the height of Strasburg Cathedral;
or, to state it otherwise, the fall of one
pound from the top of Chimborazo would
raise the temperature of water thirty de-
grees. One-fourth of this is perpetually
covered with snow, go that its ancient
name, Chimpurazu-the mountain of
snow-is very appropriate. 1t is a stir
ring thought that this mountain, now
mantled with snow, once cleaned with
volcanic fires. There is hot spring on
the north side, and an immense amount of
debris covers the slope below the snow
limit.
The valleys which furrow the flank of
Chimborazo are in keeping with its colos-
sal size. Narrower, but deeper than
those OF the Alps, the mind swoons and
sinks in the effort to comprehend their
majesty. The mountain appears to have
been broken to pieces like so much crust,
and the strata thrown on their vertical
edges, revealing deep. dark chasms that
seem to lead to the confines of the lower
world. The deepest valley in Europe,
that of the Ordesa in the Pyrenees, is
$500 feet deep, but there are rents in the
side of Chimborazo in which Vesuvius
could be put away out of sight.
As you look down into the fathomless
assure, you see white fleck rising out of
the gulf, and expanding as it mounts, till
the wings Of the condor, fifteen feet in
spread, glitter in the sun as the proud
bird fearlessly wheels over the dizzy
chasm, and then, ascending above your
head, sails over the dome of Chimborazo.
Could the condor speak, what glowing
description could he give of the landscape
beneath him when his horizon is thou
sand miles in diameter.
The silence is absolute and actually op-
pressive. The road from Guayaquail to
Quito crosses Chimborazo at the elevation
of IA 900 feet Save the rush OF the trade
wind in the afternoon, as it sweeps over

PAIRING APPLES,

Out underneath the apple tree
bonny maiden sat,
And by her side: in drowsy state,
Reposed the old gray cat.
The sky above, the fields below,
The little maiden sitting there,
The golden curls and soft blue eyes
AN formed picture sweet and fair.
And in her lap a dish she held
OF fruit-a tempting sight,
And in 4 CHEEKY voice she sang.
These must be pared ere night;
But mothers gone and I'm alone.
And now III try my luck and see
If brown-eycd Robin-whom love-
Has really given his heart to me.
For I've often heard If should pare
An apple whole and sound
Without a break in one long strip,
And cast il on the ground,
That falling, it would Irvine and take
The first initial of his name,
Who, some fine day-if it is true
Then. quick as thought. the deed was done,
And. lying at her feet.
The rudy skin, with JOY she saw,
Had formed all r complete.
She clasped her hand in child-like glec,
And. gazing o er the distant green,
A tender song burst from her heart,
Now. Robins all my own, ween."
But why do sudden bushes rise,
And mantle cheek and brow!
And see. the snowy. dimplcd hand,
Why does it trcmble so!
A st. p she hears manly form
She knows is close beside her chair,
And, looking up. with shy blue eyes.
She sees her lover standing there.
He lightly laughs, and taps her cheek;
:" Yes, little lassie, mine.
The apple skin has told thee true,
For Robins heart lie thine
And now. neglected in their dish,
Repose the apples. red and gold,
While in the sunny afternoon
The old. sweet tale once more is told.

for the most expert smashing is to be con-

ioi TIE most expert smashing Is 10 ne con-
tended for.
The subject, however, is too serious for
a joke. 1t is no joke to recklessly and
wantonly destroy or injure the property
OF confiding traveller; it is barbarous
and brutal act for which no excuse what
ever can be given. 1t takes no more
time and strength to lift a trunk and set it
carefully down than it does to hurl it
high in the air and propel it violently to
its destination. There is abundance of
time, especially at our great terminal sta
tlons, where these abuses are most COM
mon, for the proper handling of baggage.
NO train will move until the baggage is
all taken on or unloaded, and the smasher
cannot make claim of necessity for his
barbarity. An express company will car
ry box of eggs 1000 miles without
cracking shell; a bnggage.smasher will
frequently knock off the hinges of trunk,
break the lock, split the bottom and smash
every fragile article of its contents on the
trip from baggage-room to car.
1t is high time that our railroad super
intendents took summary steps to reform
this evil. The property of passengers
should be as sacred as their persons. A
railroad employe has no more right to
break a passengers trunk needlessly than
to smash his hat or tear his coat. This
mistreatment of baggage is never seen
upon European railways. There the rail
way employe is the servant rather than
the master of the traveller, and treats him
and his property with civility. If lug
gage man handles trunk with unneces-
sary roughness he is pretty sure to be
warned by a uniformed official, and if
he repeats the otfense he gets his walking.
papers.
We do no not mean to say that all
American baggage-m men are guilty Of the
abuses complained of. There are many
creditable exceptions, but no one will
deny the general truth of this picture, and
our railway officials should at once put a
stop to these outrages, as they can easily
do, by little exercise of their authority.
Let the baggage-smasherb be reformed or
abolished from the American railway sys-

1T is said Of the late Augustus Hem
enway, of Boston, who left fortune of
$15, 600, 900, that he read the first volume
of Lyell's Geology between tea and bed
time, while sitting in parlor alive with
merry chat, and retained afterward an ex-
act and comprehensive recollection of the
contents of the book. Men worth as
much as SIS ,O0O, 900 often have this sort
of thing said of them, both before and
after death.
