An Interesting Table.

Frnit Shipments to Eurone.

Europe is now taking a surprising
quantity of American fruit. The
purchases have amounted to over
81, 100000 worth since last June,
compared with 5000, 900 in the same
period the year before. Dried APP
pies figure largely in this movement.
This country has exported over 49,
100000 pounds of them since last
June, as compared with $4,000
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 inn
proved methods for drying and
preserving, for transporting fruit.
The greatest progress has been made
in the way Ofdryers. Within a year
some notable inventions in this line
have been perfected which are a
great acquisition to the resources of
the country. The fruit dryer bids
fair hereafter to be as much a neceS-
sity to every farming community as
the cider mill and cheese factory.

What is Moderate Drinking /?

The advocate of total abstinence
from Intoxicating liquors are wont
TO condemn even a moderate use of
stimulating drinks, on the ground
that moderate drinking is the pa
rent of excessive drinking" The
Lancet questions the correctness of
this proposition, but in its negative
definition of what is meant by
moderate drinking the Votaries of
Bacchus will find very little COM
fort. "The man." says the Lancet,
"whO begins the day with soda
and brandy has very little respect
for his constitution, and if he does
not alter his habits, they will alter
his health. Odd glasses of beer and
glasses of spirit in a forenoon do not
come within the range of moderate
drinking. That is not moderate
drinking which adds fifteen or twen-
ty beats to thepulSe, or which flusheS
the face. Finally. all casual drink
ing is bad, presumably, and not
moderate drinking. The system
will not receive merely as matter
of cOnViVality, at all sorts of odd
hours. Still less will it receive with
impunity drink in this way. Drink
ing which disturbs sleep, either by
making it heavy or driving it away,
is not moderate. Moderate drink
ing is that which consists with a
clean tongue, a good appetite, a slow
pulse, n cool skin, a clear head, a
steady hand, good walking-pOwer,
and light, refreshing sleep. 1t is as
sOciated with meals, and is entirely
subordinated to more convenient
and less Objectionable forms of food.
That such drinking produces drunk
enneSS, has yet to be proved, as it
has yet to be proved to be essential
to health. "-ScieRce MOnthLy.

Toms hands were weak and I'M
steady, but his brain was clear, and
under his skillful supervision the
engine was set up and tested T; but IT
was not perfect. There were mis-
takes he had TO correct, and it was
late in the evening when the work

At the little cottage, Ellen OAR
cey's fluttering heart was sinking.
That morning, after Tom had gone,
she found a two dollar bill in the
coffee cnn, She knew that he left it
for her. She had been out and
bought tea and sugar and flour and
butter, bit of tender steak, and all
day long a ray of light had been
dancing and shimmering before her
"a ray from blessed light of other
days. With prayer and hope she
had set out the tea-table, and waited,
but the sun went down and no Tom
came. Eight o'clock-and almost
nine. Oh, was it but a false glim-

And sOme-of worldly, carnal views
Would rather hear fiddle.
The critic, too, of classic skill,
Must dip in gall his gander quill,
And scrawl against the paper;
OF all the literary fools,
Bred in our colleges and schools,
He cuts the silliest caper
Another cries, want to see
a jumbled up variety
Variety In all things;
A miscellaneous hOdge-podge print,
CompOsed-I only give the hint
OF multifariOus small things.
] want some marriage news, says miss,
II constitutes my highest bliss,
To hear of weddings plenty;
For in a time of general rain
None suffer from a drought, tbs plain;
At least, not one in twenty.
! want TO hear of deaths, says one,
Ofpeople totally undone,
By losses, fire or fever;
Another answers, full as wise,
I'd rather have the fall and rise
OF raccOOn skins and beaver.
Some signify a secret wish
For now and then a savOry dish
OF politics TO suit them;
But here we rest at perfect ease,
For should they swear the moon was cheese
We never should dispute them.
Or grave or humorous, wild or tame,
Lofty or low, tits all the same,
Too naughty or too humble;
And every editorial wight
Has naught to do but what is right,
And let the grumbler grumble.
