Russian Fruits.

The Montreal Journal of agriculture
publishes a letter from Charles Glib,
giving an account Of his examination of
orchards in Russia, which endure the
intense cold of forty or more degrees
below zero in winter. Moscow is rath-
er north OF the limits of successful fruit
culture, most of the trees in the fruit
gardens have been killed by an unusu-
ally cold period, the MISUNDERSTANDING
one whole week stood between 40 and
"A degrees below zero, Feb. This place
is ten degrees farther north than Mont
real.
On the west bank of the Volga, in the
same latitude, there are twelve villages
where apples are grown in quantity for
the market of Mini and Kazsn. Some
times $4,000 worth have been sold from
this coolest orchard region in the world
the fruit being borne on bushes rather
than trees, grown iii small clumps OF
two or three together, the clumps
twelve feet apart each way. MIR. Glib
found these orchards in heavy bearing.
They had on one occasion withstood
without injury q temperature of So
degrees below zero. They are of type
termed the "Annis" harder than the
Alexander and Duchess, and are slow,
crooked growers, and he thinks they
would succeed in Manitoba.
A little farther south were many
thousand pear trees, the fruit unfit for
eating either raw or cooked, but pro-
badly sffording good stocks for grating.
There were some, however, of the Ber-
gamot type which were sweet and free
from astringency. A species of the
plum grown in that region and south
ward is plentiful in all the town mar
kets, the bushes being heavy bearers.
Their cclors are red, blue and white,
and Mr.. Glib thinks them nearly as
good as the Lombard, but on this point
it may be difficult to judge after one
has been long deprived Of the finer
sorts. He thinks the best Russian
apples have already been sent to this
country.
Several degrees further south on the
Volga, and in the regions about Saratov,
an apple orchard of 1000 trees was
seen, which had employed 800 pickers
and Sc packers, and had sent an
amount equal to thousand tons Of
fruit to Moscow. In the country east
of Moscow, there are districts where
the chief commercial industry is cherry
culture, These cherries are rather
large in size, and nearly black and al
most sweet when ripe. Mr.. Glib pro-
nounces them much better than the
kentish, but on this point it is obvious
y difficult /, decide with none at hand
for comparison. Some proprietors
have 10000 trees or rather bushes, and
entire osr loads of the fruit are sent to
market This cherry may be valuable

influence Of Personal Character

Nothing is more marked or mor.|
beautiful in the life of Jesus than ths|
influence of His mere character and
presence. illustrated by His inter-
course with little children; the devotion
to His person of noble women; ths
drawing to Him of the sinful and ths
weary; and the general testimony M|
friends and foes.)
There is no effort to produce an I'M.
preston; nothing demonstrative or The.
atrical. 1t is all unstudied, natural
the spontaneous outcome of what He is
/. 1t is what a man is that the Bible
lays the stress upon. Shown by (a)
the ceaseless reference to the state Of
the heart; (b) the doctrine Of a new
birth; lc) the placing of goodness in mo.
tive, desire and intent.
Not what a man has, does, thinks. but
is! blessed are the pure in heart,
. y the meek" etc.
II. 1t is as a man really is that he
comes to be known. Character is one
of those subtle influences, or combina.
ton of influences, which you can no
more conine than you can an odor.
No imposture, deceit or mistake !,

tation, an unguarded moment. q look,

Different Glasses Of Brazilian Slaves.

Among the classes of slaves in Brazil
the lives OF some are so different from
those of others that the case of one class
cannot be taken to represent the state of
the whole. The highest-class slaves are
the maids, pages, or Wallets, whose sole
work is to attend on the master or mis-
tress to whom they have been dedicated
at birth, the custom in many planters
families being to give to each of their
children the soundest and best-looking
slave child nearest in age and of the
same sex. These little slave maids or
Wallets have to do all the labor and bid
ding of all sorts of their young owners,
acting as shadows when so required, and
as substances when occasion demands.
These children-the free, the other
bond-grow up together, often weaving
cords of love and affection, so that what
ever may be the lot of the other slaves
these remain with their first owners, and
are never sent away to work in the plan
tations or elsewhere, except in cases of
very bad behavior. The next in favor
are the artisans, the %bricklayers, car
penters, and smiths, who are often hired
out, and who are we'll treated in con-
sideration of the great revenues they
bring to their owners, in fact many a
hired slave of this class earns for his
master from five to ten shillings a day.
Then come the house slaves, the coach
men, the cooks, and the washerwomen;
following these are the town slaves, who
are hired out to work at any labor, the
owner receiving so much per head per
day. Last of all come the plantation
slaves, who often in appearance look
little human, and seem very Calibans in
many, many cases. These sad ones are
they who earn all the wealth of the land;
these are they who rise before the sun,
and after asking in forced formality the
blessing of Christ from their master or
overseer, are led off in herds to toll till
dark, their food being taken to them in
carts, and doled out as to a herd of
creatures more swine-like than human;
these are they who do all the hard work
of the plantation, the life-sapping toll,
leaving that which is easy to the c%olonist
or free laborer. No one who has only
seen the city slaves can form an idea of a
herd of slaves being led off to their work,
nor can tell the sensation Of meeting a
h~alf-hundred human beings homeward
turning after a hard day in the sun, each
carrying wood to serve for the food
cooking. each on meeting you folding
his hands and abjectly begging your
blessing in Christ's name. On they
come, n struggling behind the other,
the young and still strong in front, the
old and feeble and the women, with
their little mes bound to their waists,
tolllng far behind.-London Times.

Gems of Thought.

The claims of habit are generally
too small to be felt till they are toe
strong to be broken.-JoAnson.
"A man never knows what a weak,
tickle and uncertain master he has in
himself until he is at liberty to govern
his own life as he pleases.
In the light of eternity we shall see
that what we desired would have been
fatal to us, and that which we would
have avoided would have been essential
to our well-being.-ErcAan9e.
Exaggerated speech makes one
careless Of the truth. The habit Of
using words without regard to their
r ightful meaning often leads one to dis.
tort facts, to misrepresent converse
lions, and to magnify statements in
which the literal truth is important tc
be told. You can never trust the testl'
mony of one who in common converse.
ton is Indifferent to the import and
regardless of the power of words.-R9
body.
Atheism in any form is more credu'
lous than Christianity a hundrcd-fold
1t requires less blind faith or credullty
to accept every miracle at sight than
does to accept any positive position as.
sumed by any atheist who has ever
written or spoken. The atheist thinks
it a terrible thing for us to believe thsl
Christ could raise one dead man, bl'
he believes there are millions OF Souls
called into being each year with no a-
vine agency whatever Golden RAe'
We all feel the need of help, and o.
help that no human source can supply
for the deepest needs of our natures can
not be met by merely human agencies.
But it is blessed to know that Inc

The Tie Driver.

The life of a tie chopper is a lone
and monotonous one. Three or four
Of them build a camp together.
and do their own cookingobeing
supplied with ..grub" by the con
tractor. Each man, on an average,
cuts thirty ties per day, receiving ten
ally, can be obtained from each tree.
The cutters pile the ties up on timbers
placed upon stumps, so that they will
not be hidden by deep SHOWS. These
men 60 out in the fall, and usually do
not visit the city more than two or three
times during the year. Every day
through the long winter, they are out in
the timber bright and early. telling the
trees and trimming and dividing them
into proper lengths, Or if a storm is rag
ing remain snugly esconsed in their
cabin, putting in the day in reading,
playing cards or checkers, or some like
amusement.
The trees are hauled to the bank of the
river or stream down which they are to
be foated, and 'banked." When the
snow and ice melts each spring. and the
little creek becomes a torrent, a ssdrivc"
is organized, the ties are thrown into
the water and floated down to the boom,
where they are taken out, counted and
delivered to the railroad company.
The tic driver is paid good wages. but
his duties are arduous and attended
with considerable danger. He is
armed with a long spike pole. and as
the ties are continually catching on the
banks and bars, is necessarily in water
up to his waist a great deal of the time.
Nor is this all, for the ties, in floating
down so narrow, rapid and %tortuous a
stream as the Laramie is, from the
headwaters to below the Jelm mountain
canyon, frequently form a 'sjam,"
when thousands of ties become piled
up, n on top of another. Then it is
that the tie drivers must do their best
work. The mass of ties must be loosened
and when it once starts, look out; a slip
q a fall might be fatal, as the. unfortu-
nate driver would be overwhelmed by an
avalanche of whirling, leaping logs.
More than one man has been drowned
in the Laramie by the breaking of these
jams.
Each gang of drivers has its cook and
pack animals, and the camp moves
with the drive. The men. who are
blessed with good appetites, are fed on
plain wholesome food, bread, potatoes,
bacon and beans.
When the drive is over the men, who
have been in the mountains continuous
~ for months, come to the city for a
''picnic'' of a few days, at the end of
which time many of them return to the
mountains to commence another wears
