Physicians Fees Regulated By Law.

The fees which physicians may charge
in Prussia for their services is regulated
by law, and according to the most recent
ordinance the charge for the first visit to
a sick person is fixed at two marks
TWENTY-FIVE cents standing for mark \,
and one mark for each subsequent visit.
Where, however, several persons belong
ing to the same family, and dwelling in
the same house, have TO be treated at
the same time, then. for the second and
each succeeding person, only the half Of
those fees respectively is to be charged.
The same rule is to apply to boarding
schools and similar institutions; also to
prisons. When there is a consultation

BARRELING APPLES Nothing is gain
ed by the frauds which are attempted to
be practiced in the popular way of barrel
ing apples nice, fair ones at each end of
the barrel, and knotty and small and in
different ones in the middle 1t has
been practiced so long that no one expects
anything else. But if some one would put
up honest barrels of apples, by sorting and
carefully selecting, in few years by
branding, any fruit. grower could establish
such reputation that his apples would
command double price. The present way
has become too thin fraud to be longer
practiced by any good man. The right
way is to carefully sort those uniform in
size and quality, and place in clean, new
barrels carefully by hand; begin packing
by placing tier of apples with their ends
to the closed head of the barrel, then fill
up without brusing the fruit shake down
thoroughly, and fill the barrel so full that
the head must be pressed in with lever,
tltttening the last tier ofapples. The fruit
must be pressed SO firmly that it will not
move in handling After heading up,
place the barrel in some cool, shaded posi-
ton, there to remain until in danger of
freezing; finally remove to a dry cellar or
fruit room, where a temperature Just above
freezing is maintained. Packed in this
manner apples will keep soundly until the
season of ripening arrives, when they
should be consumed.-IOWd State Register.

How TO EUcHRE THE BORERs.-Ten
years or more ago tried the use of paper
bands and gas tar. in various forms, on
my peach trees, and. when carefully APP
piled. it was effective in excluding borers,
but for the past seven or eight years
practiced much more excellent way, and
| know other fruit growers who have
done the same, and would not think OF
going hack to the old methods. 1t is
simply using carbolic acid. which is the
essence or spirit Of gas tar. and is easily
made to combine with water by adding
soap. while the tar itself will not combine,
and is far less safe and clearly in its
application. My rule for preventing Dor.
ers is to get pint of crude carbolic acid
costing twenty-five cents, and is sutfl-
cient for twenty gallons of the wash.
Take tight barrel and put in four or five
gallons of soft soap, with as much hot
water to thin it; then stir in the pint OF
carbolic acid, and let it stand over night
or longer to combine. Now add twelve
gallons of rain water and stir well; apply
to the base of the tree with short broom
or old paint brush, taking pains TO wet
inside of all crevices. This will prevent
both peach and apple borers. 1t should
be applied the latter part of June in this
climate, when the moth and beetles usu-
ally appear. The odor is so pungent and
lasting that no eggs will be deposited
where it has been applied, and the effect
will continue till after the insects have
done flying. If the crude acid cannot be
obtained, one-third of the pure will ans
wer, but it is more expensive.-Frait
recorder.

GATHERING WINTER APPLES.-Having

find it the universal opinion, rs far us my
inquiries went, is that apples gathered
before frosts hard enough to kill the leaves
of the trees, and kept in a cool place, or
even put direct into the cellar where there
is free circulation of air, will keep much
longer and retain their flavor and handling
qualities better than when allowed to
remain on the tree until very late and
frosty weather. A very good way is to

THE DEMOCRATS AND THE FINANCES
The truth is that, whatever Mr.. Bay
ard or a few other democrats did or
refrained from doing, the bulk of the
democrats in congress opposed every
measure looking either to the resto-
ration of the public credit or the re.
sumption of specie payments. Some
republicans did so, but not always, and
never more than small minority of the
party, while the democratic majority was
constantly on the wrong side. There is
no doubt. too, that if n republican had
got up in congress and maintained, as
Mr.. BaNard now maintains, that good

payments, he would have laughed at him,
and with good reason.
We presume that there is little question
that the weakness of the stock market, in
the teeth of the large railroad earnings
and the activity of business in almost
every branch of industry, is due in some
degree, to the great increase of uncertain
ty us to the result of the presidential
election caused by the M line election.
There is nothing the business world likes
SO much and finds 80 valuable "a certainty
with regard to the future. Whatever be
the defects of the present financial legis-
Iatlon of the country, it is undeniabe
that great prosperity exists under it. and
it is likely to continue for few years, if
no sudden or violent change be made in it.
The business of the country has. in other
words, adapted its. to the situation
created for it by repu lean legislation
and the republican parLJ has, in the
present canvass, the great advantage of
being able to promise. that if it remains
in power, this situation will last.

is really any grape that is earlier than

experience in this county is that the Cham
pion, as we call it, is at least week ear
Iier than Hartford, and though hardy and
productive, is of very poor quality. and
only tolerable because early. We now
have Moore's Early fruiting the second
time, and while it is equally hardy, healthy
and productive as the Champion, it is
several days earlier, and in quality is as
good AS Concord, and think now that il

poor a grape rs the Champion. AS fol
