WONDER If some of the persons who
borrow and read the TRANSCRIPT week
after week, would not have little more
respect for themselves should they SUBJ
scribe and pay for the same. We know
in one instance of six families who
read one copy of this paper. So IS a
small pittance to pay for all the news
that good county paper carries to the
family circle, and every citizen is inter-
ested whether such fact is recognized or
not. This sheet is not the medium for

There are people vho do not take e
vacation because they consclentsously
cannot there are those who don't take
one because they wont; there are
those who, taking. make something In
the vay OF health. amusement or &c
quirement of knowledge out Of their
vacation, and there are those Who only
intensity the inconsequence OF their
existence by travel.
About the only thing to be said is,
that every one ought to have sense
enough TO know how. and when, and
where TO take his or her vacation, and
to avoid the idea that the recreation Of
another is a guarantee that the same
place and things will give pleasure to
the lmitator. Means, tastes, habits,
sex, time of life. are all factors, and
where these coincide, the fact of no or
very hasty and limited acquaintance
ship is sufficient with many to initiate
against the crowd. The law of variety
is as universal as any other law. 1t is
as beneficial as it is pleasant to get &C.
casionally out of the Iuts. But it is
not essential that the change should be
far in distance or great in kind. The
vacation, simply as vacation from ac-
customed work and in behalf of physic.

better be taken at home ; that is to say,
with such excursions as do not break

the habit Of turning daily for an hour
or two, wholly aside from the ordinary
routine, and indulging in reading,
study, or work of a different character,
will be perpetual and sufficient vaca-
ton.
One thing is absolutely certain.
change of place is not the essential it
is change o., thoughts, of care, of respon-
sibility. Worry among the hills or in
Europe is as depressing and destruc-
tive as worry in the counting. room or
manufactory-even more so, for dis
lance precludes it's alienation by the
endeavor to remove its b cause. The
formal, fashionable and legal vacation
ought to be the occasion for the renew
al of strength of body and mind. How
far this is so, fortunately perhaps, we
have no statistics to show.-Proridence

Having been fully converted to the

emily anxious to give Germany the
benefit Of its practical application. He
has notified the Government of the
United States of his change of heart,
and of his willingness to discuss steps
looking to the adoption of an interna.
tional bimetallic standard. So impor-
tant detection as that of Germany
from mono-metallism in Europe will be
sure to have a material influence upon
public opinion in England and on the
continent. The next silver congress is
likely to be a much more important
body than that which SO dismslly failed

The Largest Orchard in the World.

The Rural Home is inclined to thinl
the very profitable orchard owned and
cultivated by Mr.. Robert McKinstry
of Hudson, n. Y, is the largest in the
world.
"The orchard is situated on the east
bank of the Hudson River, on high
rolling table land, and contains more
than "a 900 apple trees, LOO pears
1000 cherries, 500 peaches, 200 plums
200 crabs, 1900 vines, 5000 currants
and 200 chestnuts. The varieties
grown are: Rhode Island greetings,

mains, Peck's Peasants, twenty ounce
Pippins, Russets, and others in less
number.
The pears are Bartlett, B. d'Anjou,
Sheldon, Seckel, and Lawrence chiefly.
OF cherries there are twenty-eig
varieties. The orchard is intersected
by roads over six miles in length fol
the passage of wagons, and is bounded
by continuous row of apple trees, SET
ten feet apart for four miles and a
half. The apple crop of last year was
$4,000 barrels. Twenty-four men and
fourteen horses are employed hauling
out the crop or in blowing.
The success of this orchard has not
been achieved, nor is it maintained
without the closest supervision and
most industrious work. The Oldest
trees are about twenty years old. The
soil is dry, rolling gravel, with some
limestone the trees are planted twenty
feet apart, and do not by any means
seem to be crowded. The ground is
plowed several times in the year and
kept fallow, except when thought ad-
visable it is seeded to clover. Suckers
and sprouts are removed as soon as
seen the borers are watched and fol-
lowed with vigor. Wires are used to
reach them in their burrows, and the
damaged bark is removed with CHS

To KEEP ToMAToEs.-Take ripe to-

not to break the skin. Put them into
a jar with cold vinegar, adding thin
muslin bag filed with cloves and whole
peppers. Then cork the jar tightly
with a cork that has been dipped in
melted rosin. and put away in dry
place. Tomatoes picked in this man
ner keep perfectly we'll and retain their
color. For this purpose use the small
round plum tomatoes.

Balls and parties are now given in
London on so lavish scale and the ex-

enormous, that few Of the older mem

thousands of pounds that are expended
in floral decorations, the prime"rs at
the bali supper, and the costly presents
that are distributed during the cotillon.

There are some people who believe
that we will yet have aerial navigation
brought down to such fine point that
the newspapers will tell of the arrival
and departure of balloon trains with
every days issue. Yet the railroad and
steamboat men don't seem to get very
much alarmed. All flying machines, Of
late years, have shared the fate of the
one originally invented by Darius
Green. We hear nothing Of the one
that made ascensions last year at the
Philadelphia Exhibition grounds. How
ever, there are sanguine people who are
continually spending money, in the
hope of reducing ballooning to q
science. Last week, the balloon "Can.
ada" went up from Montreal, equipped
with paddles and rudder. The machin-
cry wsrked we'll, and had considerable
effect on the direction and motion Of
the balloon, but the question of the
practicability of air voyaging remains
still unsettled. Detroit Free Press.

EARLY RIs1Na.-Lazy people will
read the following with great delight +:
A German physician has demonstrated
that early rising is very bad habit.
He has taken the trouble to collect in
formation as to the habits in this re-
spect of several persons who have lived
to an advanced age, and he finds that in
the majority of the cases the long livers
have INDUCED in late hours. At least
eight out of ten persons who attained
the age of eighty years and upward
were in the habit of not retiring until
the early hours of the morning, and of
remaining in bed until the day was far
advanced. On the other hand, he has
failed to discover, after careful observa-
ton of the health of several early
risors, that it was in any degree better
than that of similar number of late
risers. He thinks that so far from any
decided benefit being gained by getting
up early in the morning, it rather tends
to exhaust physical power and to short
en- life.

just been published by Trubner. OF
London. Sir Travers Twiss, the au-
thor, discusses the question at length,
and concludes that the claim recently
put forward by the Bishop of San Do
mingo is without foundation. The
general belief has been that the great
discoverer's body after being taken
from Spain to San Domingo, was
transported to Havana, where it was
allowed to rest in peace. The bishop
commended that the remains were still
in his cathedral, and that those who
intended to remove them to Havana
took away the wrong body.
