The English Journal Of Horticultare
speaks of "a splendid crop of apples"
largely the result of the shelter from n
belt of trees on the north side of the
orchard. The trees are stated TO be
crowded with fruit, in striking contrast
to thousands of trees in other places
nearly barren. The trees have bten
sparingly pruned, and are Handsomely
form and fruitful in character.
Household Hints.
Black cotton gloves will not crack the
hands if scalded in salt and water before
wearing. The salt prevents fading.
When almost dry one should put them
on in order to stretch them and keep
them in good shape.
When putting up curtains which are
to be draped, in low room, put the
cornice, to which the curtains are to be
fastened, close to the ceiling, even if the
window Is put in lower down, as it gives
the effect Of greater height to the room
The curtains meeting at the top will
conceal the wall.
Toskeep bread moist have the dough
stiff when it is set for the last rising.
The larger the proportion of flour to
that of moisture in the dough the longe
1t will keep moist. After the bread is
baked ana cold, put 1t in tin box or an
earthen jar with close cover, and keep
it covered tightly. Bread thus made
and kept cool and always from the ali
will last and be moist for a week.
Moths will work in carpets in rooms
that are kept warm in the winter as well
as in the summer. A sure method oi
removing the pests is to pour strong
alum water on the floor to the distance
of half yard around the edges before
laying the carpets. Then, once or twice
during the season, sprinkle dry salt ovel
the carpet before sweeping. Insects dc
not like salt, and sufficient adheres tC

The fish market of Havana is said to
be the finest structure of the kind in the
world. It also interests the traveller by
its romantic association with the story
of Marti, n reformed pirate and SNUG

theater."
During the administration of Tacon,
from 1894 to 1888, smuggling and piracy
had grown so bold in and about Cuba as
to defy the Spanish navy sent to sup

man named Marti, and for his person.

One dark night n man was watching
the sentinels pacing in front of the gov

they turned their backs and separated
for moment, the man sprang unob-

up the broad stairs, saluted in an i'm
perious style the guard there stationed,
and passed into the governor-generals
room. The governor, engaged in writ

Some people think that they are very
smart when they abuse a newspaper or
an editor They forget that many pa
pers have largely prolited by becoming
the object of these attacks, and that some
editors have thriven on being assauted.
Aside from this consideration, il should
be remembered that an editor is often
obliged TO occupy very delicate posi-
tion. His sense of right will sometimes
cause him to attack or defend a man, a
business, a class or cause at n risk of
making enemies of others. only to find
those in whose interests he had labored
display ingratitude. OF course no level
headed editor expects to find much graf
itude or charity. He must generally be
content with the approval of his own
conscience, and pursue the course he be-
lieves to be right, regardless of either
frowns or smiles, supported by his con-
sciousrectitude 1t will all come right in
the end. 1t is hard to be misunderstood,
and to find those to whose support you
have earned right, desert you to meet
alone the attacks of those whom you
have incensed in pursuing the course
you were convinced was right, but you
will thereby learn lesson of self re-
lance, and form a habit of Judging en-
tirely for yourself that will be invalua-
bic. You will be able to tell the truth,
however distasteful, and refuse to utter
a falsehood, no matter how much pleas
