A Corner in Apples.

From a leading member of the Ver-
mont apple syndicate it hasa been
learned, in reference to the corner
in Vermont grown apples, that the syn
dictate is composed of the following
well known Boston firms: Curtis & Co
Hiland, Chessman & Co.. VIM, Kicker
~. Co. and Isaac Locke. & Go. These
four firms learned through their East
ern and Western correspondents that
there would be Scarcity Of apples in
all bat q portion of Vermont, known as
the Champlain Valley, a very fertile
tract OF country lying between Lake
Champlain and the Adirondack range
on the west and the Green Mountains
on the east. Here the apple crop was
remarkable, both in quality and produce
ton, and combination was immedi-
ately formed to purchase and control
this fruit, which is famous for its keep
ing Qualities as well as fine flavor.
Agents were quietly sent to all points
along the lines of railway and contracts
made with all the leading producers of
apples, at various prices, ranging from
two dollars to two dollars and seventy
i've cents, and three dollars per bar
rel, few extra lots costing as
high rs three dollars and a-half per bar
rel. In the town of Shelburne. Chit
tendon County, several extensive
orchards were purchased, one produc-
ing nearly 5000 barrels, and several
1000 to 1000 each, while in Addison
and Grand Isle Counties orchards are
numerous which produce from 400 to
600 barrels of No. fruit annually. The
syndicate is now busily engaged in Sc
curing the small lots of TWENTY-FIVE to
100 barrels over this section, and in for
warding the fruit contracted to market.
1t has purchased to this date over 32.-
900 barrels of No. l graft apples. Of
these 5000 barrels are sent to New
York for storage in COOLERS where
the fruit is guaranteed to be constantly
kept at temperature of forty degrees,
which prevents decay and admits of
sales late in the season, when the mar
kets are cleaned out of choice fruit.
The remainder of its extensive mr.
chase will be sent to Boston for STORAGE
and SALE The two leading members Of
The syndicate have both been spending
their time in Vermont, giving their per.
sonal attention to the packing and shin
ping OF the fruit, and they express
themselves well satisfied with the SUI
perior quality of their purchases. They
say in all their experience they have
leVer seen or purchased finer lot OF
apples. and express their surprise at the
inform beauty and fair fruit on the

Boston's Woman Lawyer al. Work.

Boston's lady lawyer, despite the fact
that the Supreme Court has denied her
petition to plead at the bar, is doing a
good business at her cosy Office in
Pemberton Square, drawing up legal
documents of all kinds, and preparino
court business for her attorneys, who
represent her clients at the bar. Miss
Robinson is by no means discourao ed

undergo various stages of torture, CON-

First, the four toes are forced under

amaiganated with the sole of the foot.
The second part of the operation is a
torture so terrible that sickly children
frequently die under it. The sole OF
the foot is curved into the shape of a
bow, bringing the great toe and heel
together as near as possible. The ma

naturally dark hair, wear it as light as

AS to shaving, savages are about as
peculiar as the General who shaved
every morning during the retreat from
Moscow. We have often read of the
discomforts they were obliged to I'M
dergo by shaving the head with q
shell or hard piece of flint, or how it
was necessary fora friendto sit on the
head of savage when he is being
shaved, and how the favor is recipro-

turn comes. ~
The growing of finger nails has been
carried to the extreme limit of posi-

We will not discuss the tatooing ex-
cept to say that its only real use was the
marking of all members of the same
family; SO that they could never deny
lhetr identity, nor of the old barbaric
eistomssof wearing large bones in their
noses, so huge in fact that they were
forced to keep their mouth open in or
der to breath, nor of how in Peru the
lobes of the ears were trained to hang
downto the shoulders, nor. of how many
savage cut their noses, ears, lips, and
other parts of the frame into various
conventional designs. 1t is sad enough
to know that we as civilized people
suffer the fortunes we do, without trac-
ing the follies of past ages. Do we
not cut holes in our ears instead of our
noses. press our feet into stiff, tight,
shoes, and our waists into
