AMERICAN FRUIT IN EUROPE
Europe is now taking a surprising
quantity of American fruit. The
purchases have amounted to over
so, 100000 since last June, compared
with 100000 in the same period the
year before. Dried apples figure large
ly in this movement. This country
has exported over Il, 100000 pounds of
them since last June, as compared
with 522, 900 pounds the previous year.
This new addition to the trade Of the
United States is due to invention, which
has occupied itself Of late with i'm
proved methods Of drying and preserE-
ing fruit for transportation. The
greatest progress has been made in the
way Of dryers. Within a year some
notable inventions in this line have
been perfected, which are great
acquisition to the resources of the
country. The fruit dryer bids fair
hereafter TO be as much of a necessity
to every farming community as the
cider mill and the cheese factory.

DISCOVERY OF A RIVAL YOSEMITE.
"A new grove Of giant trees, recently
discovered 100 miles south Of the
famous Yosemite, is just explored and
described. 1t is on q line with the
other grove, 5000 feet in altitude. In
stead Of a small cluster of thirty or
forty trees, there are 10000 trees, cover
ing six miles square Besides several
thousand old trees, whose age is esti-
mated at from 1900 to 1900 years.
there are thousands Of young ones
from one hundred to one thousand
years old, and full Of yigor The old
trees, decapitated by storms and by
weight of winter SHOWS on their bushy
tops, are mostly 2overtopped by the
juniors. Some Of these fallen trees,
three thousand to four thousand years
old, have revealed underneath the
buried bodies of ancestral sequoras of
smaller size, which grew there eight
thousand years ago-say thirty feet in
diameter. Large lakes and waterfalls
are found along the route. The at
fractions are SO much superior to the
Yosemite, that it is contemplated to
extend the route Of travel to embrace
this interesting circuit. tie

AN ACTED CREED.


Errors will never be headed off by
preaching alone. When error repre-
sents intellect, philanthropy, art cul.
ture and music, you must fight it with
It's own weapons. Match eloqucnce
with eloquence, match culture with a
finer finish, match philanthropy with
wider plans and more generous out
lay for human veal. Incidence can
never overcome activity. Lcthargy
can never conquer wakciulness. Faith
can never hold its own against works.
No creed can be us beautiful as good
deeds. The teaching and the feeding
OF the multituJes must 20 together. A
belief without any adequate expression
in acts is like an organ, with all its
keys untouched. Ii is dumb. IL charms
no one. 1t attracts no one. But bring
forth the player; let him press the
keys, let the dead air in all the choral
columns be started into vibrations,
aud how the anthem swells, and how
hearts are lifted on the waves of sound,
aud others with eyes filed with hap
py tears. That which was dumb has
spoken, and the multitudes hasten to
give II praise.
So it is with creed. Write il out
with whatever care you can let it be
perfect in phiuseology. skilliul in its
definitions, lndisputablc in It's authori.
ty, this aud nothing more-and who
cares Tor il? Does it touch any ones
heart? Does il gain adherents2 No.
The world will never again fight over
words us il once did. There will be
no more church councils like the
Council Of Trent, to last twenty years.
Men are too busy nowadays to spend
half lifetime in debating theo-
logical dogmas. But bring forth u
man who has good creed which he
expresses in acts, let him say, 81 love
Tod with all my heart, and my neigh.
Dor as myself aud lot him show il
aud men will point to him and say
"a religion which will make u mui
net as Mr.. A. does is the religion FOL
me-" Aud so religion is bonored by
his conduct, and his creed gains adher
ents. - Golden Rule.
