family living in the third house below

says the name is Thurston, but chill

this thing any longer. Why, the poor
child came home yesterday with his nose
bleeding and mud on his new suit, and
| have made up my mind to send note
to young Thurston's father
'Shall I take it round, miss?
Directly And Miss Nora pro-
ceeded to inditc the trigid note.
Mr.. TuuRsroN-Dear Sir: You

from u stranger but feel obliged to
call your attention to the behavior OF
your son toward our little Oliver, who
can scarcely 90 into the street without
receiving blow from him. l have

request your early interference. Re-

TO this she receive the following re-
ply:
Mr.. Thurston regrets that Mrs.
Browne has been put to any inconvenl-

and begs to ask if Master Oliver did
not provoke the quarrel, and bear his
part in it.

SIR Il cannot believe for an instant
that our Oliver was to blame in the
affair. l have inquired into the mat
ter and it seems the blow was entirely
unprovoked. l am only astonished
that you should uphold your grandson
in such q grave fault.
H. BROWNE.
Mr.. Thurston thinks that if you can
secure faithful report of the affair
from Master Oliver, you will find that
it is six of one and half a dozen of the
other, so to speak. Mr.. Thurston also
begs that you will reorganize your own
child's conduct before offering sugges-
tlons TO your nelSnDors.
IF can secure faithful report from
Oliver! When will impudence cease. ,
And woman-like, she meant to have
the last word.
MIR. TnURsToN-Sir: 1 can rely

if fail to reorganize the manners of
our boy, it must be because your own
furnishes him with such evil examples.

No Fun In Being President.

1t Is not an enjoyable treat some'
tlmre to be the editor Of paper, aud
mould public opinion at so much
mould, and got complimentary tickets
to the slelght.oi.hand performances, but
with ts care aud worry, IL hearIachc
and apprehcusions, II Is more comfort
ing on the whole than being president.
When We were boy, aud sat In tho
front row among tho pale'haired boys
with checked glngham shirts at the
Sunday School, aud the teacher told
Us to live uprlghty aud learn u humid
red verses Of the Scriptures each week
50 that we could he president, We
thought that unrunlcd calm aud uni.
versal appreciation waited upon the
man who successfully rose to be the
executive Of great nation,
With years aud accumulated wis
dom, however, We have changed our
mind.
Now We sit at our desk aud write
burning words for the press that will
live and keep warm long after We are
turned TO dust and ashes. We write
heavy editorials on the pork outlook,
and sadly compose exhaustive treaties
on the chinch bug, while men in other
walks Of life 90 out into the health
promoting mountains, and catch trout
and woodticks. Our lot is not per-
haps joyous one. We sweltcr through
the long July days with our suspcndcrs
hanging in limp icstoons down over
our chair, while we WELD the death
dealing pen, but we do not want to be
president.
Our salary is smaller, it is true, but
when we get through our work in the
middle of the night, and put on our
plug hat and steal home through the
all-pcrvading darkness, we thank our
stars, as we split the kindling and bed
down the family mule, that on the
morrow, although we may be licked
by the man we wrote up to-day, our
official record can not be attacked.
There is nameless joy that settles
down npon us as we retire to our simple
couch on the floor, and pull the cellar
door over us to keep warm, which the
world cun neither give nor take away.
We plod along from day to day,
slicing great wads of mental pabulum
from our bulging intellect, never mur-
muring nor complaining when lawyers
and physicians put on their broad brim
chip hats and 60 out to the brec1v can
yons and the shady glens to regain
their health.
We just plug along from day to day,
eating q hardboiled egg from one hand
while we write a scathing criticism on
the sic transit gloria cucumber with the
other.
No, we do not crave the proud posi-
tion of president, nor do we banker to
climb to an altitude where forty or fifty
millions of civilized people can distinct
ly see whether we eat custard pie with
a knife or not.
Once in while, however, in the
stiffness of the night, we kick the COW
ers off and moan in our dreams as we
imagine that we are president, and we
wake with the cold, damp sweat, (or
perspiration, as the case may beg
out of every pore, only to find
that we are not president after all, by
an overwhelming majority, and we get
up and steal away to the rain-water
barrel and take a drink, and 60 back
to dreamless, snoreless sleep

Maine Apples.

\ prominent Lewiston firm, which did
a business Of S6O,00O last year, is cores
ponding with a house in Liverpool, Eng
land, relative to undertaking the business
of shipping apples, and produce OF various
kinds, from this point to Liverpool direct,
by way Of Portland, without allowing the
goods to pass through second and third
hands, as all Maine apples now do. There
Is no fruit that brings such good price
for foreign shipment, as Maine Baldwlns,
and the Lewiston firms correspondents
propose to take care of all such fruit that
Lewiston can buy and ship. Maine Bald
wins are now worth 81 per barrel III Liver
pool. Next winter, the Lewiston firm pro
poses to put $1,000 capital into the busl
ness, employ suitable accommodations,
and buy apples on as large a scale as they
can for shipment, and occasionally ship
other produce. With the large apple
yielding territory With which Lewiston is
in direct communication, we see no rea-
son why a firm cannot do a business eN
tensive enough to be profitable. The
enterprise, if carried out, will be greatly
beneficial, not only to Lewiston, but to
Maine orchardists, who will get an in
creased price toG their apples, on account
of the saving of middle-men' profits. We
hope to see the enterprise successfully
started. next winter Lewiston Journal.
The evaporated-apple factory at East
Baldwin, in this state, is reported to be
in prosperous condition. The factory
is run day and night night crew being
employed to begin work when the day
crew stops. About $50 bushels of apples
are used daily, for which from 20 to 33
cents per bushel are paid The farmers.
The apples are pared cored and sliced 10y
machine. and are left III the shape OF spi-
ralrings, which ale subsequently trimmed,
and the stem and blow ends are cut across,
leaving the slices ina Semi-circular shape.
These slices are placed or wire screens,
and subjected To nearly three hundred
degrees of heat, becoming eVaporated in
about three hours.

Starting Early Vegetables.

Window boxes answer nearly all the
purposes Of a hot bed for il garden in
which the number Of plants required is
small. A kitchen window is preferable
to any other as <he air is usually more
moist. Sow seeds in window boxes, and
when the plants are up, turn the boxes
every day, to bring the opposite side to
the light and keep them from growing to
one side. When the seedlings get two or
three ''rough' leaves, those beyond the
seed-leaves, they should be "pricked out"
or planted in other similar boxes, setting
them an inch or more apart, according to
kind. The young plants may grow in
these until time to put them in the open
ground. Set the box out doors in the
middle of every mild day, or open the
windows, in order to harden the plants.
The kinds usually sown in hotbeds, frames
and window boxes are cabbages, cauli-
flowers and others of that family; lettuce,
tomatoes, peppers and egg plants; the
last two will do month later Cucum-
bers, melons and early squashes may be
started later, few seeds to give plants
enough for hill, in small box or four
inch pot. The roots of these are large
and do not succeed in a small pot.

1t is the practice of the agricultural
press in this country to offer only critic
ism and that sometimes pretty sharp, in
regard to the management Of the [. :.
Department OF Agriculture. Mr.. Clare
5. Read, one OF the English commissioners,
sent 10 this country to learn something
in regard to our agricultural methods and
prospects, expressed admiration for the
efficiency OF the : Department OF
Agriculture. He said: "AnOther adj
vantage the American farmer has, and
one Of considerable Importance in a newly
developed country, a government depart
ment OF agriculture. 1t is surprising the
amount Of benefit which results from the
expenditure Of very small sum Of money.
The t ;. Department OF agriculture has
undoubtedly effected much good for our
agriculture much more than it is gem
orally credited with. Its annual reports
have been the means of widely ditlusing
a large amount OF useful intormation."
