Answer.-The black spots and patches

fungi. There seem to be several species
of these, one of which works on the out.

latter form what is usually called "scab. "
This black material is often, if not always.
caused by the "honey" exuded by plant
lice. 1t is from this sweet liquid that the
fungus derives its nourishment, not
directly from the apple itself. This

Tic Dog and the Cat.

A gentleman in this city owns fine
large dog named Major Majors hatred
of Il eat appears to be deep seated, and
he will kill all that comes in his way,
and will often 90 out of his way to vent
his spite on his enemies. His master 5
wife had n cat which she determined
Major should not harm, and she took
great pains to impress the big brute with
this idea. She would take puss in her
arms, carry her up TO the dog. and while
stroking and petting her. would talk tC
her enemy reprovingly. The intelligent
dog seemed to understand every word
she said, but for all that he would keep
his ewes fastened upon puss with a long
ing and hungry look, as though anxious
to bring the pressure of his ponderous
jaws to bear upon her spinal column
But his mistress conquered. and made
him understand that he must live OF
friendly terms with puss. More than
once he had been seen watching the cat
with a look of evil intent, but out on
respect to his mistress he conquered his
nature, and would throw himself upon
the ground with a sigh expressive OF
deep disgust at the situation. The eat
was disposed to be on friendly terms
with her enemy, but Major would not
toicldtt tilc W iiCh-
ever puss approached him he would get
up and go away with a melancholy look,
which seemed to say: Il am dying to
kill you. and its dog-gone hard luck that
l can't do it. Thus matters went on
for some months, and puss began tc
incur the displeasure of her mistress by
sneaking upstairs at every opportunity
and making trouble by curling herself
up and taking maps on the snowy coun.
terpanes, and doing such other untidy
acts as would naturally arouse the ire OF
a neat housekeeper. One morning the
lady told her husband that the cat was
so troublesome that she guessed it woulc
have to be killed. A few minutes later
a rush and a struggling noise was heard
and as the lady of the house hastened tc
the door to see what had happened
Major walked up to his mistress and laio
at her feet the dead body of pusS, theL
looked up with an air of triumph, anc
wagged his tail with intense satisfaction
He had heard his mistress express the
wish that puss might be killed, and this
was so in consonance with his own feel
ings that he went right out and finished
the cat. Major resides on Temple Street.

French Marriages.

They are so unlike anything in the
same coltcte sociole in England All the
wrangllng about settlements is over, and
happy couples and their relatives and
friends lay themselves out to spend the
day as merrily as they can. A wedding
is in France union of two families as
well as two persons. There have been
many bitches and difficulties in the way
of fusion; but now that it has taken place
it is thorough. The fathers of the bride
and bridegroom are coBlpereS, the
mothers coD1nleres, all the connections
are ..allies,n and the relationship in
which they stand to each other is really
expressed in this word. 1t is an under
stood thing that they are bound to rem
der friendly services to each other The
whole OF the fortune with which the
bride has been endowed may go, if her
husband survives her, to his family; and
all his money may eventually enrich hers
if she outlives him. 1t is also well UNDER
stood that, should commercial or other
disasters overtake the newly-wedded
couple, both families are to assist them.
The principle of each family group MAIN
tanning its unfortunate members, and
not throwing them ON the State, is even
more distinctly recognized in French
custom than in the Code. This is why
marriages celebrated in England be-
tween young Frenchmsn and English
girls are frowned upon by the relations
of the former. and every advantage is
taken which the law gives to set them
aside Loia's pictures of bourgeois life
are, IN the main. false. They are more
applicable to the aristocratic than TO the
middle class.-London Truth.

A few evenings ago we saw n lovely
illustration ossasWsdage, Every cloud
has a silver lining" The entire sky
was dull gray, almost leaden, save in
the northwest, where there was an OBJ
long bank of billowy clouds intensely
black, each having an edge of bright
silver that deepencd into gold. Around
the clouds the last rays of the sun rested
In indescribable beauty. To our mind,
ever ready to forget the practicalities of
existence and grasp at its beautiful fan
cies, the scene was typical of life and
death. The sky was fife, the clouds
were the enormous sorrows that some
times darken it. the silver was the radi-
ant peace that God alone can give, and
the gold represented that happiness
merged into the perfect bliss of heaven.
