chiefly grown, the fruit begins to ripen in the end of June; and the summer yield, which gives employment to 8 large population, comes to market in immense quantities in September and October. The trees often give even third crop, which ripens after the leaves have fallen. The best figs for drying come from the valleys of the Meander and the Kaistros, to the south of Smyrna, where
 the trees are planted regularly with care, and the ground is dug and hood from four to six
 times during the summer The Smyrna and Aidin railway now affords great facilities for
 the transport of the fruit, which formerly
 had to be brought long distances on camels carrying about 800 pounds each When the figs reach Smyrna they are sorted by women
 and packed in the boxes by men. They are best when newly packed, and es the months go by get drier and harder in the warehouses l or the grocers' shops. No one who has not eaten them in the Levant at the commence
 ment of the season, packed in the ornament 1 al pasteboard drums with glowing pictures
 on the top, in which they are sold for local l consumption, knows what the best figs are | like. The cardboard for these boxes is SUD- I piled chiefly by Belgium and Austria 54 900 1 camel-loads of four kintals each, or nearly
 ,OOO tons, had reached Smyrna on the 22d | of October this year and the production 1n- l creases annually. Fifteen years ago not more than half that amount was recorded for
 the whole season. England and America
 take by far the larger proportion of the ex-
 ports France, where the smaller and much
 inferior figs of the Mediterranean are chiefly
 consumed, taking little or none of the fine
 fruit of Smyrna The facility of transport
 which has so much increased the stocks
 brought to market has also brought dow1 prices, which, taking averages, ranged ter : years ago from 17s. the kintal of 124 pounds for Aidin figs to s6s. for elemes; while thu very best (elzmis) sometimes brought 79s., O nearly 3d. a pound. Now the average price
 are as low as 12s. and the small parcels 0 excellent quality bring only 27s the kintal - or 2ad. pound. The total value of the crol = is now perhaps not far from ;e14O, ,O00 It 1 not among ''things generally known" that l. considerable quantity of the inferior kind Q find their way to the Austrian chicory maker

Figs.
From the St. James, Gazette

The export season for the dried fruits of the Levant is now in full activity. In one fortnight lately no fewer than 195, ,000 bar rels, cases, bags, boxes, drums and baskets of figs and raisins were shipped at Smyrna. The fruits of the fg-tree may be reckoned among the staple foods of man for ages be- fore cereals were cultivated by any settled agricultural population. In the temperate regions where it thrives best, it fills the place of the banana of tropical clmes, and yields it's fruits during several months of the year
 In Asia Minor, where the tree is found wild and where the best figs of commerce are

The fellowship meeting at the Congregational church on Wednesday was well attended, not only by
 members and attendants at the church. but also by large number from neighboring churches. Rev. Mr. Osborne, of Branford conducted the preaching ser vice in morning. while the afternoon session was devoted to prayer and conference meetings. The week of prayer has been observed here by series of four meetings full of interest and profit to the large number who have been ill attendance.
 has i4 that another select school is to be tablished here of grade higher than the district schools. The time is not far distant when those whose children attend the public schools should unite In favor Of higher grade public school. In this respect North Haven is far behind most of the surrounding towns, and that little public spirit has shown itself here hope that of it may soon be di reoted toward school stem. In district at east if the reports which come from many quarters are to be believed, the school is worth but small proportion of the money 1t costs and many are led to believe less poetry than truth in the school report for 1881, which accepted at the town meeting last Monday. We suggest that the whole management of the schools be placed in the hands of the board of school visitors and that none be elected the board except those who interest ed in the improvement of the schools

Speaking a Piece.

From the Brooklyn Eaglel
 The other evening there was little com-
 pany up on Dayton street, and during the en- tertainment the hostess dragged her little boy to the front to sspeak 8 piece" ssCome, Johnny, like 8 good boy, and speak 'Mary's Little Lamb for the ladies and gen. tlemen." Johnny knew that there was remuneration in the background, and the preliminaries having been arranged in an undertone. she slicked his hair and he commenced: ssAIary had little fleece, Its snow white wool, And every time that Mary lambed That fleece would go to school"
 "Now, now, Johnny" said his mother, ssyou know that isn't right. Say it just as you did this afternoon and I'lP'-here she broke into maternal whisper, and the boy commenced again: 'sMary had little lamb, Whose white was snow as fleece, And everywhere that Mary went The lamb would go apiece" tJohnny Johnny !" chided the mother,
 ssthat isn't right Speak it right this time. The ladies and gentlemen never heard it.
 Now go on" Once more the little fraud went at it s.Mary had little snow, It's fleece was lined with whites And everywhere the lamb would go Mary was sure to bite."
 EsassWhat naughty boy!" exclaimed the
 proud mother, who had been training the child all the afternoon for this display. "Now speak it right or mamma won't kiss you when you go to bed"
 Thus prepared, the boy perpetrated him. self once more: ssIary had little wool It's fleece lined with snew, And every one that Mary feeced The white to show.' "pm ashamed of you, Johnny, that you don't speak it right You must do it this time. or mamma will have to punish you" sI won't!n bawled the urchin But his mother promised him some addi- tional candies or buns, or something that had ] the great social advantage of lying heavily on 1 his stomach, and the wretch began s.Mary had little school, Its snow was fleece as lamb, And everywhere that Mary went You'd surely find that ram." The guests very properly interfered, | and said it was shame to torment the sweet l child He had done nobly and should have ! his pay right of. | He had the candies and buns, and his moth- ] er packed him off to bed, while the con- pany found solace in the reflection that be- l fore morning he would probably be crying
 with the stomach-ache and writhing under the nightmare.

County Farmers Club.

General Discusstor--The Farmers Meeting at Acknowledgement Ex- pertinent Station Asked for
 The regular monthly meeting of the Coun- ty Farmers club was held in the Scientific School building yesterday afternoon. The meeting was devoted to a general discussion of farming interests
 J.'J. Webb, of Hamden, gave report of the Farmers convention recently held at Newtown He said that the meeting was largely attended, and it was gratifying to see 80 many young farmers present. He said the discussions covered large variety of subjects of interest to the farmers, and the discussions could not fail to be profitable to the farmers.
 Professor Brewer, who attended the con- vention, said there was wide discussion on the question of fertilizers, and the subject l was discussed very intelligently. Also, contin- 1 uing, he said there were 8 great variety ot subjects discussed that came up incidentally from questions by the farmers There were several papers read, most of which were 1 meritorious.
 l The splendid pasture lands in the vicinity l of Newtown were referred to by several gen | tlemen as being the best in the State. The question of @ petition to the Legisla ture for an appropriation in aid of the es tablishment of permanent experiment sta tion was taken up and discussed. The far mers were unanimous in the opinion tha such a station should be permanently estaE lished.
 Resolutions embodying the views of tn club in this regard were presented. The rese lutions called for an appropriation of 1925 900 to purchase land and erect buildings, an then recommending that the annual appre priation (now $5,OOO) be increased, say t $8,0OO.
 1t was thought by some that asking for a increase of the annual appropriation migE injure the prospect of getting the 1925, ,O00 al l propriation for permanent station.
 The resolution was adopted after leavin out the $s, 900 appropriation, and asks simpl for an increase of amount for carrying on th ! work of the station
 It was voted to adjourn to the first Frida afternoon in February, when the question ( sheep culture will be discussed and pape will probably be read on the subject.

The Origin of Life Force.

The Origin of Life Force.
 Life force or vital energy has it's origin in food, and that food must possess that vital chemical character that will fit it to fully sus- tain and supply the different tissues of the body The present prevailing diet supplies in abundance the muscle building elements required by the manual laborer, but not be- yond one-third in quantity the nerve and brain building clements that those exposed to
 intense mental strain of business activity, to-
 gether with those engaged in intellectual pur- suits, so much need. To simply supply the desirable elements is not in itself enough; they
 must first be prepared for the blood as far as science is capable of doing it before
 it enters the stomach, by concentration and | artificial digestion, so that the labor of the l stomach is diminished to the greatest possi- I ble degree For we we'll know that not one l in five of the adult population has sound ! and efficient stomach. The Blanchard Food 1 Tonic for the nerves and special foods for l dyspeptics possess all the above desirable | qualities, repairing the stomach and furnish l ing the necessary nerve and brain building l clements They do not conflict with any ] medicine, are exceedingly palatable and ap- 1 plicabIe to all conditions One trial will con- I vince the most incredulous of their great
 value. Write for free pamphlets Address l the BLANCHARD MF'G. Co.,,

What Time Is It?

What time is it,
Time to do WE'LL
Time to do better
Give up that grudge-
Answer that letter
Speak that kind word to sweeten sorrow:
DO that good deed you would leave till
tomorrow.
Time to try hard
In new situation
Time to build upon
A solid foundation.
Giving up needlessly changing and drift
Leaving the quicksands that ever are shift
ing.
What time is it?
Time to be thrifty;
Farmers, take warning
Plow in the Springtime-
Sow in the morning
Spring rain is coming, zephyrs are blow
ing;
Heaven will attend to the quickening and
growing.
Time to count cost
Lessen expenses
Time to look we'll
To the gates and the fences:
Making and mending, as good workers
should;
Shutting out evil and keeping the good.
What time is ite
Time TO be earnest,
Laying up treasure;
Time to be thoughtful,
Choosing true pleasure;
Loving stern just;ce-of truth being fond;
Making your word just as good as your
bond.
Time to be happy,
Doing your best
Time to be trustfui,
Leaving the rest,
knowing in whatever country or cline.
Ne'er can we call back one minute of time.
