A Curious ArPLE TREE.-There is
growing in Pochuck, n. j., an apple
tree which bears both sweet and sour
apples. Not only this, but sweet and
sour apples grow on the same limos,
and some of the apples are both sweet
and sour. One can pick an apple and
find it intensely sour, then pick another
from next to it and find it exceedingly
sweet; still another can be picked from
the same limb and it will be both sweet
and souI-one-half sweet, the other sour
Over qnarter of century ago, one
William Babb, now deceased, in expert
.nenting, took bud from an apple tree
which bore greetings aud another from
a tree which bore sweet apples. Cutting
them in half, he placed the sour and
sweet halves together, and, budding
them to the tree, the above mas been the
result. Some of the apples are entirely
green in color, while others have yell
lowish cast.

SARATOGA FRIED PoTAToEs.-The fol-
lowing is said to be all that is of Cooks
secret for producing those world-re-
nowned potatoes served at Moons Lake
House. Saratoga Spring every summer.
Peel good sized potatoes, and slice them
as evenly as possible, drop them into
ice water. Have kettle of lard, as for
fried cakes, and very hot. Put few at
= time into towel, shake them about to
drv them and then drop into the hot
lard. Stir them occasionally and when
of a light brown, take them out with
skinner. If properly done, they will
not be at all greasy, but crisp without
and meally within.

AN ORGAN WITH A WILL OF ITS Own.
The good people of a certain village IN
Indiana hungered and thirsted for an or
gan to assist in the church services; but
as they could not afford to hire an Or
ganist they bought a self-operating in
strument warranted to grind out forty
tunes Of religious cast. The musical
instrument was placed in position tor
the next Sunday. The sexton was in
strueted how to set it going, and how
to stop it, but unfortunately forgot the
latter part of his business and after
singing the FIRST four verses OF hymn
before the sermon, the organ could not
be stopped, but continued playing two
verses more; then just as the clergyman
completed the words ''Let us pray" the
organ again clicked and started anotn'
er tune The sexton and otter con-
tinued their exertions to find the spring,
bat 20 one could put stop to it. So
they got four of the stoutcst men IN the
church to shoulder the peryerse lnstru-
ment, and they carried it down. the aisle
of the church, playing away, into the
church yard, where it continued click
ing and playing until the whole forty
tunes were finished.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN En-
There is difference, says the ''Danbury
News" in the conduct of man and a
woman in new clothes. When woman
gets a new suit she Immediately prances
down town, and for hours will walk
conteutedly along a crowded thorough
fare, receiving fresh impulses Of Joy ev
cry time another woman scans her
wardrobe But man is SO different.
He won't put on his new clothes for the
first time until it is dark. Then he goes
down town SO cautiously as to almost
create the impression that he is sneak
ing along. If he sees {; crowd on the
corner he will step across the way to
avoid them, and when he goes into his
grocery he tries to get behind as many
barrels and boxes as he can. All the
time he is trying his level best to act as
if the suit was six months old, and all
the while realizes that he is making an
internal failure of it. We hope the time
will come when new pants will be SO
folded by the manufacturer that they
won't show a ridge along the front of
each leg when the wearer dons them.

The JUSTICES FIRST MARRIAGE.

A story is told Of newly appointed
Justice of the Peace in one Of the Wes-
tern States who was called. on soon afs
tier his accession to marry couple. He
was a bachelor and had never been toa
wedding, and had no form book which
showed him how to do the thing prop
erly. However, there was no one else
within fifty miles who, as. he thought,
could marry them, so he determined TO
try, and, having an eye to the main
chance, he looked out for his fee in a
novel manner. as he did not expect to
receive a large, and, judging from the
mans appearance, felt doubtful Of get
ting any. He began by swearing the
groom: "Put your right hand on the
Bible. Yon do soleinnly swear that the
evidence you shall give in the case OF
Robert Jones against Mary Smith shall
be the truth, the whole truth and moths
ing but the truth, SO help you God. Kiss
the Book and pay me one shilling. The
groom, somewhat surprised. did this,
and the Squire proceeded: "Will You
take Mary Smith to. be your wife 2 81
will" "Will you provide tor her, give
her good and suitable clothes, and keep
plenty of provisions in the house, and
take care Of her if she should be sick 2
Il will TIE Squire thenprocseded to
SWEAR the bride ID the same way, look
ing out for his ether shilling, and in
terrogated her as to whether she would
be good and obedient wife, and take
care of his house, nurse him if he should
be sick, and take. good care of the ba-
bies." The bride blushed a little at the
last clause, and the erratio Justice said :
The court finds you married, and or
ders tba, the costs be pald by Robert
Jones. Then you can go" The man
grumbled at being obliged to disbnrse
money the third time, but paid dollar
finally, and the couple departed.
