WHAT APPLES ARE MADE oF.-Four
thousand pounds of apples, when re-
duced to ashes, will weigh about 100
pounds, which contain thirteen pounds
of potash. twenty-five pounds of soda,
and little lime,' iron and magnesia.
But the ash of the wood of an apple tree
contains but nineteen per cent. of potash
against thirty eight per cent. in the fruit
and only trace of soda against twenty
five per cent. in the fruit. On the other
hand, while the fruit contains but five
per cent. of lime, the ash of the wood
shows sixty-five per cent. The fruit also
demands fifteen per cent. of phosphor-
GUS and the wood but five per cent.
These facts suggest that if we have q
young orchard in which we want growth
of wood, the treatment should be very
different from that in an old one where
fruit is the object.

A Wonderful Crow Roost.

On n tract of timber at Alloway's
Creek Neck, few miles from Salem. n.
j.. is a crows roost. which is the won
der Of the neighborhood. A small crow
roos, was found several winters ago in
the tract, and ii kept growing, until it
now comprises family of several thou
sand. The music made by the crows is
not only superior TO any ever heard
from the Threats of crows by old-time
residents, but by some sort Of under
standing among the musicians there is
no cessation of the music. The roost
seems to be divided into two companies,
one of which MARBLES during the day
tiIue and the other at night-while one
half are asleep. the other half keep up
the concert. Then they alternate. For
three weeks have these crows kept up
their orderly method of warbling, and
the noise has not ceased moment. Yet
it is not disagreeable, and the old wom-
en- say that they could not 90 to sleep

" understandable is refined by a peculiar
process. Sieye-like boxes are covered
with spruce boughs. on which is placed
the gum. Steam is introduced under
meath. The gum is melted. is strained
by the boughs, and then passes into
warm water, where it Is kept from hard
ening until the packer takes it out,
draws it into sticks. and wraps it in it's
sue paper, when il is ready for market
The gum meets with ready sale.
There is not village. town or city in
Maine where il is not in demand. One
dealer last year sold fourteen hundred
dollars worth. In the large mill cities
gum has free sale. In Biddeford. Lew
iston, Lawrence and Lowell the factory
girls consume large quantities. 1t is
said that in the lumber camps gum is
used as a means of extending hospital
itv. After meal time the host fills his
own black clay pipe and hands it to his
guest Later. clear Jumps of spruce
gum are placed before the 'visitor, and
he is asked to take chew. Maine pro-
duces forty thousand dollars worth Of
gum in year, some of which finds its
way TO this market. from which it is dis
tributed to the various outlying factory
villages, where, rs stated before, it is in
good demand. Spruce gum is adulter-
ated. and those who adulterate take
the trouble TO fashion the pieces of gum
TO appear like those taken in 4 pure
state from the trees. The ingredient Of
adulteration is supposed to be the gum
of the pine tree.-PrOcidence Journal.

Brains VS.. Virtue.

1t is quite the fashion to exalt intellect
ual capacity as the chief consideration for
political advancement. But before giving
our vote for any candidate, there are a
few other points on which we desire infor-
nation.
First; Is he a clean man7 Has he a
moral standing in the community, such as
will hold the confidence of his neighbors,
and the general public who now know him
or vino may be called 10 make his &C.
quaintancc'
Second; Is he friend of tho cause of
temperance? Will he cast his influence
and his vote, if it be called for, In favor of
temperance in fact, us we'll as temperance
in name, and is he in his own personal
habits an example of sober self-denial for
his own best good, and for the good OF the
people who will look to him for an illus
tration of the best habits of life according
to the standard of worldly wisdom?
Third; Is he reverent manP We do
not presume to insist that every candidate
for our suffrage must be Il Christian pro.
fessor, but we want to know before we
cast our vote for any man for position of
influence that he is reyerent toward God,
and never blasphemer, or bold reflector
of Gods holy name and sovereign power.
1t is high time for men who love virtue
to set the standard of their allegiance to
candidates for office, all the way from the
school district to national places OF emol-
ument, on the foundation principle that
every candidate who commands their
support must have the triune mark OF
virtue, in that he is clean, temperate and
revercnt
II is a shame to us that so many of our
officials are so foul, so besotted, aad so
profane and irreverent. We ought to lay
the Ak to the root of this evil of public
delilement. by retiring the present objects
of our reproach from office, and then
refuse to vote for other men who fail to
reach the standard of our suffrage on this
threefoId ground Of virtue. Men talk
about sending able representatives to do
us credit ut Washington, but we had better
send harmless fools there than to disgrace
our state by sending on to recruit the
present collection of debauchces, sots and
infidela. b.

lie RIVER AND HABBoR BILL.-The
of the river and harbor bill
charged that the president was not fully
acquainted with the merits of tho appro-
riations made for the various objects
mentioned in the bill. But Washington
correspondent says that before the presi-
dent sent in his veto, he had an officer of
the engineer corps 60 over the bilcarelully
and examine the appropriations for many
small creeks and rivers, for the puI pose of
ascertaining whether the improvements
(P) contemplated would be national in
character or purely local. This work
was very thoroughly done, and the presi.
dents knowledge Of the bill when he had
carefully considered the result of the
officers examination. was more compre.
hensivc than, probably, either branch of
congress, or the commerce committees OF
the two branches which had to do with
framing the bill. The more the president
saw of the measure the more firmly con
vinced was he as to the necessity of inter.
posing a veto between the LOB" and the
treasury.

The County Nominations.

The candidates put in nomination Sat-
urday for the state Senate are well known
to the people of the county. Hon. Willard
q. Martin was for four years one OF the
assistant judges of the county court and
was notably efficient and valuable. He is
a man of sterling sense and business
ability as is also the other candidate for
senator Mr.. Jones of Mortified. Judge
Martin is a farmer and Mr. Jones II pros.
porous merchant.
Judge Hastings who is renominaied as
assistant judge has given full proof during
his two years service of his excellent
qualities for that position. Mr.. Fisher has
for some years been looked to as likely to
occupy sooner or later the place of assist
ant Judge and was four years ago Judge
Coburn's most prominent competitor.
Frank II. Anterior of Waterbury will
worthily succeed Sheriff futile. The latter
has had six years service AS sheriff and
has proved an energetic and capable
officer. During this time Mr.. Anterior
has been one of his deputies and in the
Meaker ahd other cases has been Of great
u5o to the state in securing not only
criminals but proof of crime that other
wise might have gone unpunished.
Judge Tilden's denomination as judge
of probate was expected and was due tt
the fact that he has made careful ant
faithful officer and to wait of conccn'
tration among those who thought it better
to have younger man with professional
legal training. Mr.. Bragg no doubt con
siacrs the Office Of high bailff NOR
ornamental than usefal and hardly expect
much work TO do in it.

At present they are made to begin on the
81 of July, twelve days after the GUNNER
solstice, ending on the 18th Of August, fl
y.one days after the summer solstico.
Their continuance is therefore thirty.nine
days. Years ago the dogdays were reck-

rising of Proceyon, viz , on the 30th of
July, continuing to the 7th of September.
Now the dogdays are 50 arranged rs to
depend on the summer solstice. and not
on the variable rising of any particular
