Southern Lumberman: The first
Shockley apple ever grown was pro-
duced near Pendergrass, Ga. The first
tree came from a Seeding and was
planted over seventy years ago. The
parent tree still stands, and there are
thousands and thousands of young trees
all over the South, annually producing
millions of the best apples grown. The
seed from which this tree grew was
planted by Mr.. y. NJ. Shockley, seven
ty years ago. The old man is still
living, and this year raised seven water.
melons from one seed, weighing from
fifteen to forty pounds each.

WOMAN,S WORK.

Darning little stockings
For restless little feet;
Washing little faces,
To keep them fresh and sweet;
Hearing Bible lessons,
Teaching catechism,
Praying for salvation
From heresy and scism-
Woman's work.
Sewing on the buttons,
Overseeing rations,
Soothing with a kind word
Others lamentations;
Guiding clumsy Bridgets,
Coaxing sullen cooks,
Entertaining company
And reading recent books
Woman's work.
Burrymg out of sight az
( Heroyn unhealing smarts;
Letting in the sunshine
On other clouded hearts;
Binding up the wounded,
Healing all the sick;
Bravely marching onward
Through dangers dark and thick
Womau's work.
Leading little children,
And blessing manhood's years;
Showing to the sinful
How Gods forgiveness cheers;
Scattering sweet roses
Along another's path;
Smiling by the wayside,
Content with what she hath
Woman's work.
Letting fall her own tears
Where only God can see,
Wiping off another's
With tender sympathy;
Learning by experience,
Teaching by example;
Yearning for the gateway,
Golden, pearly, ample
Woman's work.
At last cometh silence
A day of deep repose;
Her locks smoothly braided,
Upon her breast a rose;
Lashes resting gently
Upon the marble cheek;
A look of blessed peace
Upon the forehead meek;
The hands softly folded,
The kindly pulses still;
The cold lips know no smile,
The noble heart no thrill
Her pillow needs no soothing,
She craveth for no care
Loves tenderest entreaty
Wakes no responses there.
A grave in the valley,
Tears, bitter sObs, regret;
Another lesson taught,
That life may not forget;
A face forever hidden,
A race forever run;
"Dust to dust" the preacher saith,
And woman's work is done.

The chief of the bureau of engraving and
printing las issued an order that apprentices
who marry during their term of apprentice
ship will not be allowed to complete their

that when the apprentices marry the fact
that their compensation will not enable
them to support wife leads them to become
more anxious TO make big bills than to turn
out good work and to keep up its quality.

Death OF Mrs. Martin Lake.-We are
in receipt Of copy of the Daily State Ga
zette, of Green Bay, Wisconsin, which gives
an extended notice of the death of Mrs.
Martin Lake, which occurred in that city
on February Is, 1888. We extract the
two following paragraphs from that paper
Harriet Elizabeth Ross Lake wis born
in Perrysburg. Ohio, August Is, 1910. She
was married 10 Capt. Martin Lake on June
8, 1858. Her husband being engaged in
steamboating between Buffalo and Green
Bay, in August, 1869, the family moved
to the city, where they have since contin-
uously resided.
Mrs. Lake was taken sick in April oi
last year. Her ai'ment did not yield to
treatmen! and quite soon it developed in
To consumption that was destined to be
quick and fatal. The disease was one
that came TO her by Inheritance, her
father, mother, one brother and four sis
lers having all been victims of its deadly
ravages. Two members of the family
survive, brother, Charles Ross. living nj
Bowling Green, Ohio, aud a sister, Mrs
Capt. j. F. Trowell, AT Milwaukee.
The Gazette proceeds at considerable
length to speak OF Mrs. Lakes many Writ
ues; that she was woman OF strong quail
tiles and one who during her residence in
the community had made many firm
friends; that her motherly instinct and
devotion to her home and family were
marked characteristics. "She leaves tt
mourn her loss husband, one son and
three daughters, who have the sympathy
OF the community"

From Boston Post, January 1st
One of the most ingenious and useful
contrivances in which electricity plays the
prominent part, is the Portable Electric
Lighter, for practical use in the Office, ut
home, and in factories, banks, hotels, res
taurants, saloons, and all places where
lighters are needed. 1t does away with the
liability of fires from the careless tse OF
matches, or from fres from children play
ing with them, or from mice aud rats.
The apparatus occupies a space OF FIVE
square inches and weighs but five pounds.
and can be carried with ease from apart
nlent to apartment. 1t is complete in it
self, requiring no extra power. wires or
connection, and is so constructed that any
portion or part can be replaced at a small
cost. BY simply pressing upon the knob
TO the full extent of the spring (which con-
meets the battery an electric current is
produced, by which the spiral of platinum
is heated to incandescence and the light il
instantaneous. The material lasts about
two months, and can then be renewed Mt n
small cost through any chemist. 1t will
not be long before everybody will have a
Portable Electric Lighter. The price So,
is so low that il cannot fail to become pop
ular at once. - .
AT further cost of $3.50, connections and
cups are adjusted to the battery, controlled
by switch, so that it can be adapted for
the purpose of ringing an alarm or call
bell which can be attached to the instru-
ment, or by the addition of wires, can be
rung at any reasonable distance. When
so adjusted, the circuit can be altered in an
instant, by the switch, to give light or ring
the bell at will. There connections con
also be attached to an induction coil, by
which a powerful current of electricity
can be conveyed. The principal Office il
