COMMUNICATED

How can you support Massey?" is a
question often asked by our worthy (?) friends
upon the other side. While John f. Massey
may not be our first choice, we submit to
the democratic party Of Virginia, and hay
ing confidence in that party, and Mr.. Mas
sey being endorsed by the party, we vote
for him. We can take Massey just as we'll
and may be much better. than our republi-
can friends can John S. Wise. While Mr.
Massey differed with many of us upon the
debt question, and said some hard things
about us, he has always been a democrat.
and when readjuster asked us the other
day how we could vote for Massey, as he
had said such hard things about us, we told
him we could vote withas clear conscience
as our worthy postmaster here could vote
for John Wise, as Massey had never said as
hard things about us as Wise had said of the
white republicans in Virginia. Selah

The Monkeys Letter,

My brother once owned funny little
monkey. His name was Jocko. Like
all monkeys, he was a great mimic.
One day my bruther sat down at his
desk to write letter. Jocko jumped
into chair to watch him. His little
forehead wrinkled up, and he scratched
his head with his paw. As my brother
folded his letter, and put it in the enyel-
ope, and stamped it, Jocko's funny lit.
tie face seemed to laugh all over. Il
can do that as well as you, was what
he would have said if he could. 1t was
near post-time, and my brother hurried
off with his letter, but forgot to shut his
desk.
When he came back, there was the lit
tie monkey seated at the desk. A sheet
OF letter-paper was spread out before
him, covered with the most comiesl
scribbles you ever saw.
He found he couldn't hold the PEN
so he had squeezed his little fingers into
the inkstand, and what funny writing i
was!
He was folding up the letter with bis
inky paws when my brother came in. z
30 Jocko! you young rascalr' he said
But Jocko jumped down and was under
the table-cover in a twinkling NY
brother burst out laughing when he saw
Joeko's letter.
Thatwas a signal to the little culprIs
that his master wasn't very angry with
him. So, holding up one corner q 'he
! table-cover with his paw, he venturca
to peep out
.''Come here, old Jock. and tell me 70
whom you have been writing to. /"
Then Jocko jumped upon bis knee,
and if monkeys only could talk. ! thlnh
| this is what he would have said: .Iss
been writing to my brothers and sisters
in South America; and now won't you
please direct the letter and put on the
stamp. Perhaps your Handwriting
would look better than mine for tha
| outside. Our Little Ones.

war medals. namely, the Indian mutinv

and capture of Lucknow, and the sub
sequent actions of Allygunge, Rooycah
and Bareilly, and the frontier war medal
for the short but sanguinary Umbcyla
campaign in the winter OF 1864. A
Bombay clergyman, the Rev. Mr. Allen.
was given the war medal in 1871 for his
services in the field during the campaigns
of that and the preceding year. None
of the English papers, however, seem
to remember that few months ago the
Rev. j. w. Adams. chaplain attached
to the Cabul field force, was awarded
theAlctoria cross for having at the battle
of Killa-Klazi extricated a number OF
lancers who. with their horses, had fallen
into flooded ditch. The chaplain had
to wade in water up to his waistto DRAG
the horses off of their drowning riders.
and performed his gallant feat under
hot fire, having ultimately to- run foi
his own life when the swor,lsmen came
up and captured his horse.

SHOW Much!o

Some of our restaurants charge ex-
horbitant prices for their viands, espec-
tally for articles 'sout of season. But
they usually make it plain just what the
charge will be.
A rather amusing story is told in the
Boston Journal of a man who wanted
some Strawberries in Paris restaurant.
Strawberries at present are pretty dear
in Paris. A gentleman from the country
wentto dine ten days ago at one of the
restaurants on the boulevards, and seeinr
little plates of Strawberries on the buffet
as he came in, he thought he would have
some for dessert. With provincial eau
ton he called the waiter to him, when he
had nearly finished his dinner and said:
Those are very nice strawberries. :"
Yes, sir"
What is the price?"
Only one frame, sir"
Although surprised to find the price so
low, he ordered a saucer of the berries.
He had nearly finished eating them when
the waiter brought his bill What was
his establishment to see charge of ten
francs for strawberries.
"What does this mean. sir?' he de-
manded. g You told me they were one
frame, and you charge me ten.'
L beg your pardon, sir,'' said the
waiter, s. but | meant one franc apiece,
and you had ten berries in your saucer"
The feelings of the guest can be better
imagined than described Leaving one
strawberry untouched on his plate, he
rose at once in anger and turned toward
the desk to pay the bill.
''Sir!" cried the waiter, who expected
his usual poar-beir3 of two or three sous,
'.you have forgotten the WAITER
"Forgottenyou!o exclaimed the guest;
certainly not! / have left you straw
berry, which is equivalent to a p5ar-
botre for you of twenty sous. - oattLs'

Apples as Food.

From the earliest ages apples have
been in use for the table as desert.
The historian Plny tells us that the
Romans cultivated twenty-five varieties
of the apple. In these latter days we
probably possess over 5000 As an
article OF food they rank with the po-
tato, and on account of the variety of
ways in which they may be served, they
are far preferable to the taste of many
persons; and if f;sssailies would only
substitute ripe, luscious apples for pies,
cakes, candies and preserved fruit, there
would be much less sickness among the
children, and the saving OF this one item
alone would purchase many barrels OF
apples.
They have one excellent effect upon
the whole physical system, feeding the
brain as well as adding to the flesh, and
keeping the blood pure; also preventing
constipation and correcting tendency
to acidity, which produces rheumatism
and neuralgia. They will cool off the
fe1erish condition of the system; in fact.
they are far better for these purposes
than the many nostrums which are
highly praised in the advertisements,
and are SO constantly purchased by suf-
ferers. Aripe raw apple is digested in
an hour and a half, while boiled po-
tato takes twice the time.
While apples can be purchased at
cheap rates, every family should keep
dish of them in the dining where
the children can have access to and eat
all they please of them. They will rare.
~ receive any injury from them if they
are thoroughly masticatel. Baked
apples should be as constants dish upon
the table as potatoes. Every breakfast
and tea table should have a plate OF
them. Baked sweet apples are very
pleasant addition to a saucer of oatmeal
pudding, and, when served with sweet
cream, they are very appetzing
They are not SO commonly used as
they should be, as they will supply az
much muscular and nervous support as
dishes of meat and vegetables. Thou
sands of bushels of sour apples are used
for pies and buildings in hundreds OF
families where well-baked sweet apples
would prove more nourshing food and
much more economical. They are also
good food for old people, and are usually
greatly relished by them In my own
family they are always. when in season,
a part of the meals of the day. and are
as commonly used as slice of bread
