How to Get Apples on sou" Years.

The past season has demonstrated the
fact that the value Of an orchard de-
ponds very much upon whether il pro-
duces its crop in the bearing year or in
the alternate off year. In 1880 an apple
crop WIS of but little value. In 81 it
would have been worth in very many
sections of the country three times as
much as the year before. And the diff
ference in the quantity and price that
has been so broadly marked in the two
past years will undoubtedly continue for
some Years to come. and probably for
as long a series of years in the future as
il has in the past. ANY one who will
take the trouble to look over the price
current for apples for the last sixty years
will find that the price has almost inva-
riably been higher in the odd than in
the even years. Why ii is that our or
chards have so generally grown into the
habit of producing their best crops in
the even years and remaining SO nearly
barren during the odd years is one of
the unexplained mysteries. 1t some
times happens that late frost Kills the
blossoms of an orchard and changes for
time the bearing year. the trees bear
ing a partial and sometimes poor crop
the next year. If no artificial means are
used TO encourage the new habit so as
10 render il permanent it usually works
back into the old way. But if the trees

What Darwinism Is.

Darwinism, says an exchange, refer ring to the death of Charles Robert Darwin, is one of the attempts to ex- plain the law or manner of evolution. finding the cause of the differentiation of species to lie in the struggle of the organism to adapt itself to the constant ly altering conditions of it's environ ment. These conditions of external life act on plants and animals in their natural state with an effect analogous to that by which artificial cultivation or breeding by man can change and i'm prove the characteristics of the differ ent domestic plants and animals. This process of the operation of natural cir cumstances, by which those varieties or individuals best adapted to their sur roundings of climate, station, character of soil, food-suppIy and the number and kind of living beings competing in the "struggle for existence" are pre- served the longest in life, was called by MT. Darwin "natural selection" But he not only saw that the constant bat tie for life going on among living crea- lures must be winnowing and im- proving process, those least adapted to the situation giving way before those better adapted It was his merit to discover that natural selection is capable of producing fitness between organism and their circumstances, and of discerning the importance of the con- sequences that follow" From the al- most general admiss of naturalists that natural selection was potent in the production of varieties in species, MT. Darwin went further. and held that one species sprang from another, "by a long-continued process of slow varia- tion and natural selection"

COurtsbip Under Difficulties.

A fair but not faithless Parisienne has devised novel, ingenious and alto gether satisfactory method of cele- brating the 1st of April. Having for some time been pestered by the atten- tions of an aged beau, she finally con- sented to permit him to visit her on the day in question. Punctual to the hour he rang, all in his gay attire, and was ushered into the reception room and into the presence of the lady's husband and brother, one of whom was playing carelessly with his revolver while the other was putting an edge on a murderous-looking dagger. There was an awful silence for about minute, when the husband remarked, carelessly, {" "Oh, you're the man that my wife said was to call to clean the kitchen coppers, ehP" "Precisely," stammered the by no means gay Lotharlo, catching at this desperate hope. "All right, step this way 1" and the lover was led into the kitchen and set to work. At the end of his task, having ruined his new suit and sorely abraded his knuckles, he was summoned into the presence of Mad anne, who paid him three sfranos, prom ised to recommend him to her friends as good workman, and desired the bonne to give the poor man glass of something to drink.
