Big APPLEs.-We published an item the
last week in November, 1879, as follows:
Mr.. N. Ford raised Gloria Mundi apple
at the Diamond fruit farm on the Walla
Walla river weighing 40 ounces and meas
uring ld4 inches in circumference. This is
said to be the largest apple ever raised in
this or any other country. The largest APP
pie at the Centennial weighed IL ounces y
This publication brought forth the following
record, which beats it by considerable, and
gives to Clarke county the glory of the boss
apple: The late Joel knight raised on his
farm on the Columbia river. in 1861, a
Gloria Munli apple that measured l9I inches
in circumference. weighing 50ounces. This
sises the Walla Walla apple by considerable.

Down TIMBER Thee is an immense
amount of fallen timber now in Clarke
county, and all of it that is within easy
reach of the rivers and the market should
be at once converted into fire wood for if it
lays year or more its vitality will be de-
stroyed. There will be plenty work for
wood choppers for long time to come.
NICK's FLORAL GUIDE.-This work is be-
fore us, and those who send five cents to
James Wick, Rochester, n Y, for it will
not be disappointed. Instead OF getting a
cheap thing, as the price would seem to in.
dictate, they will receive very handsome
work of 100 pages, and perhaps 800 illus
trations-not cheap, but elegant illustra-
tions, on the very best of calandered paper.
and as a set oil to the whole, an elegant col
ored plate that we would judge cost twice
the price OF the book.

Scurvy.

N successful expedition of Pro-
fessor Nordenskjold has proved that
the shores Of the Arctic sea are not so
inhospitable as has been generally
supposed. Perhaps the most interest,"
ing Of the minor discoveries made by
the learned explorer is the finding of
a new remedy against the dread of all
navigators and the particular scourge
Of arctic eXpeditions-namely, sour
Wy. 1t appears that there was not a
single case of this disease during the
whole voyage; and this remarkable
fact is due, not to the employment Of
lime-juice, and other anti-scorbutics in
ordinary use, but to the use of curl
Gus little berry, hitherto unrecognized,
produced by plant which finds an
ephermeral existence in the snow and
ice during the short arctic SUMNER
The berries are found in great abund-
ance, and arc said to be favorite fruit
with some Of the natives of the great
ice world. Its flavor resembles that
of raspberry, but is more acid. The
mode Of preparation adopted on the
voyage Of the Vega was to dry the
berries and then preserve them in the
milk of the reindeer, which was then
allowed to freeze. In this state the
fruit can be preserved for an indefinite
period. >-

Hidden Hurts.

Mapya babe gets a wrench from low
ing hands that might account for the
sudden attack Of spasms the day after,
or for hours of fretlulness that no
coaxing seems to soothc and no medi-
cine appears to reach. Fall from lit
tie perambulators while in charge of
nurses, though they leave no outward
and visible sign in the shape of cuts
or bruises, may have inflicted something
worse by far than cuts OF bruises
would have proven to be. Cases have
occurred frequently where infants
have had falls of which nurses have
not told, and no marks from which
were visible to the eye, but which
made the child unaccountably fretful
for weeks, until curvature of the spine
told its frightful story. For this rea-
son mothers cannot be too careful in
handling their little ones and looking
after them personally, rather than
trusting so much to hired nurses.

Abundant Hair.

japanese women are very proud Of
their hair, which is black and luxuriant.
They cultivate and arrange it with great
care by brushing their tresses back from
the forehead and gathering them in a
plated topknot, covered with flowers,
spangles and hairpins of gold, silver and
tortoise-shen. Rich and poor are alike
proud of their couture, and the kuli-
woman in rags devotes the same atten-
ton to her hair as any great lady. To
preserve the elaborate structure from be-
ing disturbed, women during sleep rest
their necks on padded fork. There is
no difference between single and married
women in wearing their hair, as in
China and their respective social status
is indicated by the position Of the bow
in which the waist scarf is tied, girls
wearing it at the back, matrons in front.
The latter likewise shave their eye
brows. and dye their teeth black. Girls
use rouge freely, and sometimes gid
their lips. They are all fond of smok-
ing, and wear their embroidered tobacco
pouches as belt ornaments.

She WOuld Do.

A young woman recently answered an
advertisement for dining-room girl, and
the lady of the house seemed pleased
with her. But, before engaging her,
there we're some questions to ask. "Sup-
pose.' said the lady, "now only sup
ing a piece Of steak from the kitchen,
and by accident should let it slip from
the plate to the floor, what should you
do in such case?" The girl looked the
lady square in the eyes for moment be-
fore asking: els it private family, OF
are there boarders % "Boarders," an
swered the lady. "Pick it up and put
it back on the plate" firmly replied the
girl. She was engaged.

Work Doesn't Hurt.

Made crazy by hard work is the report
concerning very active business man
in Troy. It will do to call it that, al
though the trouble comes generally from
another direction. It is not so much the
hard work that crazes and kills men of
business as it is the close application and
the inevitable worry of mind. The man
who cannot possess his soul in patience
has no right to carry on large business.
It is suicide, slow, perhaps, but not the
less certain. There are some men who
manage their business until it reaches a
certain magnitude, after which it man.
ages them and runs away with them.
Plain work seldom hurts people, be it
ever so hard. It is the mental anxiety,
caused by the perplexities Of an rn-
manageable business, that vexes and
frets and worries man out of his equi-
hbrium. No amount Of pecuniary sue
cess can ever pay for this. philadelphia

A girl composed Of eight halves is q
mathematical anomaly, scientific mon
strosity. And yet we heard one recent

How Great Russians got their Names.


It is necessary to he more careful in

proper names, because of the generali-.
ty Of them, especially the more an
cient ones, possess a meaning repre-
sentiDg some Characteristic of the
founder of the family, OF some Incl
dent in the life Of it's earliest members.
For instance, take the great house of
Gledimine, grand prince Of Lithuania
in the fourteenth century, and which
has furnished SO many great actors to
Russian history. Their patronymic
was earned by Michael Ivanowitch

rebellion of the Russian Strelitz in 1898
at Moscow, and the more terrible re-
tribution that followed it. The reb-
els were beheaded kneeling in rows of
fifty at time before trunks of trees

the butchery being done by the Car
Peter himself, who struck off scores of
Strelitz heads with his own hands,
One Of their number owed his life and
future fortune to singular exhibition
of GOODNESS and presence of mind. AS
he was about to kneel before the fatal
block he, perceived that it was occupied
by the head Of comrade. The story
goes that he turned it off with a kick,
saying, "This is my place. Make room

marvellous sang-froid that he gave him
his pardon and took care Of his future
fortune, . a.
