Keep the Poor l'ruit at Home.

n our frequent walks among The
dealers, We often wish that We could
have the company Of those who send
fruit to market. Here are several tar
rels Of apples, waiting for the cart to
take them to the dump-Why: Mere
" because they sent too much. His
early Harvest 'Primate,' or Allen
ander,' trees bore well; he shook of
the fruit, gathered it up, good and bad
bruised aud sound, into barrels, and
sent it to market. 1t had no sale; de
cav set in, and the commission man
can only get rid Of it at the dump, and
has q bill against the sender for ex-
% tnses. Had one-third of this fruit
been kept at home and fed to the pigs,
or ground to make cider for vinegar,
the better two-thirds would have had
a ready sale. Many no doubt think
that we harp needlessly, every year
upon this matter Of asserting fruit.
The caution is not needless, and We
shall continue to repeat it, until we
see better state Of things in the mar
ket. A peck of poor fruit will spoil
the sale of barrel. The price is not
fixed by the many good specimens, but
the few poor once bring the whole lot
down to their level. Every one who
sends fruit or other produce to market
should know that it is sold by its APP
pearance.

ADVANTAGES OF BEARDED WHEAT.
Among the advantages claimed for
bearded wheat are that they are hard
Ter and tiller more; not liable to at
tacks Of mildew; they make rich vel
low -four which commands a good
price in market; Objections to beard
ed wheats are that they have too
soft straw, hence are liable to lodge
easily; the ehaff falls off too much in
the shock, causing the grain to waste
in handling; the boards make the
sheaves disagreeable.

Hard and Sol Water.

You often hear OF water for house
hold purposes being called hard and
soft. The reason why some waters,
especially spring water, are hard y,
owing to the mineral matters dlsso' we'd
in them. Rain water is never hard
because it is nearly free Of solid mat
ter. The reason you had such an I'M
comfortable wash and shave this morn
ing at your friends house was owing
the water being Largely charged with
lime and magnesia. When soap is rub
bed between the palms in water Of
this description, the steario acid in
the oil of the soap combines with the
lime and magnesia, antt forms COM
pounds which the water cannot dis
solve, and hence the provoking curdi
ness you observed. Tor the lather to
be a perfect one, complete solution to
the constituents Of the sop must take
place, and in pure water this would
be the case. But some waters are
permanently hard, while some are
temporarily so. Permanent hardness
is caused when water is charged with
sulphate of lime and magnesia, and
temporary hardness by carbonate Of
lime and magnesia. Pure water dis
solves the sulphates, but cot the car
: Donates. Then how do the cvrbonates
come to be in the water at all? The
reason is this. All natural Naters, but
especially spring and we'll water, con-
tain more or less free carbonic acid
gas in a state Of absorption, and when
thus charged, are capable Of dissolv-
ing the carbonates; but whenever this
gas is expelled from the water, say by
boiling it, the carbonates are at once
deposited; and this accounts for the
incrustation in the kettle, and when
this takes place the water becomes
quite soft. The boiling does not effect
the sulphates to any degree il this WY
in water that is permanently hard.
Temporarily hard water can re made
soft by more means than boiling alone.
If = tubfull of it at night be stirred up
with 4 little slacs ed lime and allowed
to settle, in the morning there will
be white deposit at the bottom of the
tub, and the water will be found to be
quite soft, because the lime added will
combine with the free carbonic acid
gas in the water, and the whole Of the
carbonates will become deposited, in
virture of their insolubility in water
without this gas.
.For drinking purposes, rain water,
alser beng passed through charcoal
filter, to remove the organic matter It
contains, is the most wholesome fol
adults. The general objection is its
tastele.sness. A pinch OF salt will
remedy this. For the young, however,
soliC matter in the water, of the right
kind, sucI as lime and magnesia, is
good, as these so to build up the bony
structures Of the child.

An Arttdl Engineer.

Yes, and get fred tremendously

Not much, replisa the engineer
'1ou can never get along on this road
until you cuss Malone. IcusSsd him
ont for every blankety blank thing
that has happened since he was in
charge and have got along all right
The fireman concluded he would do
the same thing. So the next trip to
Richmond he went to Mahone's office
and heaped on him such torrent of
abuse that nearly took his breath
away. Malone heard him through.
and hen told the fireman tocome and
get his money after the nexa trip.
There seemed to be 4 hitch soEtewh here.
Things seemed to be different from
what he expected, SO he wsnt to con-
suit his friend, the engineer.
You darn fool shouted the latter.
you didn't cuss him to his face did
you:'
'Of course | d. tie. fireman said,
didn't you tell me that you die the
same thing2'
No not by blamed sight adding
some words th2.t contained not very
complimentary allusion to the heated
hames of the lower regions; why

lC0MMUNICATED.
a King George PARTY.


At ''Nndsor," in King George county. on
sept LIST, there was one of those elegant
entertainments which one might place in
Just comparison with the regal banquets of
tcudal days, or penetrate further into the
past and imagine himselfat the mystic court
Of Aladdin, or reveling in the luxury of Il
! Grecian feast. This party was given by
| Miss Roberta Berry, and vas true illustra-
ton OF that warm hospitality peculiarly
characteristic to the people of Virginia The
ladies were all perfect Hcbes and should
there have been prize "to the fairest," it
would have required the decision of a Paris
TO award it. Among those present were the
Misses Jennie and Leila Robb, Misses Carrie
and ClarcnS FitZhugh, and Misses Willie and
lnez Common, all of whom we fear carried
some gallant youth into captivity Miss
lmme Lewis was also present and formed
the centre OF great attraction, besides, Miss
Celia Thornton, of Port Royal, who was
another bright star in the galaxy, and many
others who were no lesser lights, but too
numerous to be mentioned in the small
space that have herein allowed myself. 1t
was conceded that Miss Roberta Berry, one
OF Hing Georges most accomplished maid
CHS, won inc palm as the belle OF the night.
Excellent music was dispensed by Messrs.
Watson, Ashton, and Berry, and the
vlollns seemed to send forth strains
more mclodious than the Orphean harp.
Dancing was INDUCED in until
late hour of the night and ere the yalorous
youths had escorted their fair ladies home the
silrcry noon beams had died away succeeded by
the rosy light Of aurora, who came to unbar the
gates of day aud admit the glorious sun. 1t is
useless to mention the gentlemen who were pres
cht So let 1t suffice t" shy that they were all beaux
and that doubtless many a youth went home that
night with lighter heart and stronger resolution
than he had ever before experienced. Thus end
ed one of King Georges model parties, and should
WI never meet those familiar faces at such gath
cring again, may it he the divine decree that ut
some future day We may be united on the verdant
shores OF that country, where tho angelic choir
shall never cease to chant the anthems of sublim-
est praise. KING GEORGE
