True Man.

THE character of the future mau is
not unfrequently seen in the boy. This
unconscious prophecy is noted by
Milton, who says .i' '.f' s.'
"The childhood shows the man.
As morning shows the day" .f..If..
Wordsworth also expresses the fact
in the often-qnoted line, "The child is
father of the man." The late Rev.
DR.. Muhlenberg expressed when lad
the moral courage and ability to stand
alone which characterized him as
man. |.Ir afN
He entered the university of Pennsyl-
vaDia while majority of the students
were turbulent fellows. One of their
amusements was to torment the vener-
able Provost, DR.. Andrews, in the reci-
tation-rOOm.
Young Muhlenberg was shy and
ditiident, but he did not hesitate to tell
his classmates to their faces that their
conduct was shameful. With three of
the better-disposed students he took
sides boldly with the aged professor.
Being in such a small minority-itself
a trial Of cOurage-they were assailed
by the unruly majority with taunts and
threats. "Curries" was one of the in
sulting shouts that greeted them, the
sarcasm lying in the false charge that
they were trying to curry favor with
the faculty. .., -,
For several months the unequal con-
test ran on; theorude students continu-
ally planning tricks against DIR. An
drews, which the four allies defeated.
They mantully stood by their princi-
pies. AT last the matter was ended by
the sudden death of the Provost. He
heard recitation at nine O'clock, and
at a quarter past ten he was corpse.
The unruly students were awed by the
appalling termination, while Mullen
berg and his friends had the satisfaction
OF knowing that they had taken many
a stone out of the downhill path of the
old man.
This minister in old age was pastor
0f st. Luke's Hospital, where not only
the bodies but the souls of the sick are
ministered to. He resided in the house,
and welcomed the lowliest offices of
love as opportunities of ministering to
the Lords sick.
One day, poor purblind man, just
discharged from another hospital,
sought the pastor. After giving the old
man dinner in his own study, the
clergyman was met by the maid-serv-
ant, carrying back the empty plates to
the dining-rOom.
20 doctor, doctor,m She exclaimed,
"why did You not call me to get theseP''
mo, no" was the reply, "I am a
servant in The Lord Hotel"
The devoted mans mere presence
was a benediction. "There will never
be such another Christian within these
walls sobbed a poor woman. as she
took grateful leave on her recovery.
His example has proved precious
treasure to the church; his life inspired
Others to goodness, and it has been
beautifully portrayed BY the pulpit and
the press since his death.

hymn, IL Would Not Live Away"

How to PlOw.

IN his address on plowing before the
State Board of Agriculture Of Conneoti-
cut, Prof. Stockbridge said: "There
are two kinds of soil on every mans
farm-the agricultural soil and the sub
soil. The agricultural soil may be two
inches deep or it may be nine, but it is
not twenty feet. It Is no deeper than
the air can penetrate. If the agricul-
tural soil is too shallow it may be grad
ually deepened by lifting an inch of the
subsoil at each plowing, bringing it up
to the air and enrichtig it with manure.
Our agTicultufal coTnmittees, By their
premiums for smooth, shiny, Hat FUR
rows have done the community great
harm. Such as take the premiums are
the very poorest kind of Plowing. The
soil is best plowed when It is most thor
oughly crushed, twisted and broken
with the sod well covered. On some
kind of lands 1 would have burrows

Though deepest darkness may prevail
Though deepest terrOrs may assail,

Keeping Winter Apples.

THE question is being discussed as to
whether dry or wet cellar keeps APP
pies best. A writer in the New York
Tribune says apples keep excellently in
his cellar, which is a wet one, and cites
the remark Of an experienced buyer
that whenever he entered cellar and
was compelled to walk on boards to
keep out CT the water, he was sure to
find the fruit in good condition. On
the other hand many writers recon-
mend dry cellar as the best for keep
ing apples. Who shall decide the ques-
tionP
That water is not Injurious to the
keeping of apples, even when actually
in contact with them, is shown by the
fact that they keep perfectly well on
the ground under leaves all winter. A
friend of mine living in Montreal says
shat seeing some very fine Fameuses ex-
posed for sale in that city, he. inquired
how they were kept. He learned that
they were part of the cargo of canal
boat which had sunk in the canal and
was frozen in before it could be raised
When this was effected in the spring, it
was found that the cargo of apples,
which would not have kept much longer
tAuh - uhuhlJ III tllb dlIy lldu Dtbu pIb-
served perfectly in the water. An old
custom of burying apples in the ground,
the same as roots, for winter storage,
also demonstrates that moisture in con-
tact with apples does not necessarily
cause arotting. In Russia understand
thai apples are preserved in tight bar
rels with water, in the way practiced in
this country with cranberries. On the
other hand, apples keep perfectly in dry
cellars, as many fruit growers can tes-
tify. .u,. -. ,,-rr-,
Whatthehis the essential requisite for
the safe winter keeping of this fruitP
Simply, believe, the preservation of
low uniform temperature as near the
freezing point Of water as possible.
This Gun be maintained in dry cellars,
but much more easily and perfectly, l
think, inlwet ones. The presence of
water has a controlling power over the
variations of temperature near the
freezing-point, as all know who have
had to keep water in a cold cellar to
keep it from freezing. The moisture
does no harm to the apples. 1t may even
be direct benefit in preventing evap-
Grafton from and consequent whitening
of the apples, though this evaporation
b very slight at the low temperature
NECESSARY ia fruit cellars Tor s6ccess in
keeping apples over until spring. In
Canada apples are rarely stored for
keeping In house cellars. A special cell
lar Is made, deep, with thick stone walls
laid in mortar. These walls
rise above the surface about ten inches,
to allow of small windows for ventilation
and light. There is a double floor
above filled in with moss or sawdust.
This floor is covered by a roof-like attic
and the apples are there kept until the
approach of severe frosts, when they are
sorted, barreled and dropped into the
cellar through trap-door which is then
closed and packed in same way as the
floor. AT times during the winter when
the weather Is not freezing this cellar
is opened and fruit removed for sale.
When properly made and managed
there is little or no loss in the way Of
storing winter apples.-Cor. Rural Netg
Yorker.

Two Eccentric Men.

One day last week, as A Griswold street lawyer had just finished tack ing up Q sign of Shut the door where he thought it would do the most good, an oldish man, having a sour expression on his face, came up stairs The instant he saw the sign he said:
 |" All bosh, sIr-all bosh. l never pay any attention 10 such signs.
 But other people do" replied the lawyer.
 Let 'em do so, then. am just eccentric enough 10 leave your door open when 1 go out
 And so he did. He walked once or twice around the room, made a few inquiries, and left tue door wide open as he walked out. When he had reached the street boy overlook him and asked him to return to the room on important business. He climbed back up stairs and the lawyer asked him:
 ' Did you leave your gold-headed cane hereY'
 No, sIr-here it is" replied the caller as he held it up.
 |" All so it is. l was just eccentric enough to think that :he stove poker was your gold headed cane. All right no harm done-good- -byeP

Look Out for BurEIars

Mir. Thos. F. Ryan, the wholesale liquor merchant on Congress street, on Sunday evening left his store for about half an hour, and during his absence the back door of the store was broken into and the place rummaged from one end to the other. Fortunate ly for Mr. Ryan it was too soon after election for q really good Democrat to leave any coin lying around, and after breaking open a trunk containing clothes, the burglars--who were evil dently hard-money men-abandoned the search and left. The manner In which the search was conducted showed that the burglars were adopts, and it would be well for Tucsonians to prepare for the inevitable lmmlgra- ton of that class of artists by secur- ing their doors better.

TUCsoS, November 10.
 EDITOR CITIZEN: In your issue of yesterday you referred to trial for embrscery and congratulated the de- fendant rpon this complete vindi- cation in such @ way that it has oc- cured to me that you did not fully understand the matter at issue. The crime of embracery was alleged to have been committed in an important mining case tired Ia the District Court st, believe, the last spring term, and interested parties have had a thorough investigation made and feel absolutely certain that the jury was tampered with. The Grand Jury indicted the man who was yesterday acquitted. sn1 who was not for mo- meut believed to be more than an in- strument in tie transaction. Now he has been declIred innocent and 1t be- comes the solemn duty of the proper law officers to ascertain snd punish the true ofend,rs, no matter who they be. The crim, of embracery is one of the most serous in ;ts effects that can be committei. Human life is be- coming playthIng in this county al- ready, and if Ju-ies are allowed to be tempered with, property interests have no protection under the law. In this connection, i. may not be unin- teresting for you to know that the matter of this ve;y embracery ca.e was a potent factor h some quarters in the late election, and but for the fact that the gentleman most interest ed felt il wrong 10 bring to public dis cussion case which was to be tried by court, it might have been made powerful agent in determining the result Respectfully, CITIZEN.

p,o,.c, our Home Merchants.

They come here to sell clothes. tooth nowders. pianos, sewing machines, cbromos. and everything else that human ingenuity can devise, they pay no license. they pay no rent, they pay nothing but their personal expenses Our merchants pay taxes, license, rent they have families, they have in- terests to make them enterprlsing and cause them to spend their money. Thus the disadvantages are with our people, and they, instead of being promoted. are injured. Now the CIT- IzES demands that our City Council do as the municipal government or every other civilized town has done -pu: such license on every itinerant drummer, canvasser and Deddler gen. crafty, that they will not be able to come here and have our own people on the hip. Our merchants them selves should severslly and collect iyely see that the City Council does this and does it right away.
