GUARDING AGAINST DISASTER.

Fire Commissioner Van Colt and Superintendent
Smith. of the Fire Telegraph. called on Mayor
Edison yesterday and conferred with b III as to The
advlsability of erecting a iireproof building IN
which to keep relay Of telegraph instruments IN
case fhe headou arters OF the Department in
Mercer st. should be consumed by fire. Nh. Van
Colt SAID that the Fire commissioners were DESTROYS
of adopting the suggestions made by Mayor Edson
in his message relative to this Latter The hre tele-
graph wires of the city converge at fire headduar-
ters and in case the building should be burned
great deal of confusion might result. and o large
destruction Of property occur before another head
quarters could be established. A fire had once
ocourrrd in the headquarters. and it was almost
miracle that the telegraph plant there was not de-
stroyed at that time.

Mr.. Van Colt said that the top OF the Forty
second-st reservoir would DO the best place. IL
was isolated and easy of access. The eatehouse Ia
Central Park would offer another place by the
addition of another story.
Mayor Edison said he had given the subject a great
deal of consideration and Investigation. and was
az all times ready to tender any assistance 10 Tor

Keeping Apples-An Experiment.

A correspondent of the american Agri-
cuIturiSt in Allegany county, Pa, writes
TO that paper that he has tried various
methods for keeping apples TOR winter
use, and thinks none will compare with
some of his experiments in the fall of
1880, which he gives as follows:
About the middle of 1880 put up seven
barrels of apples. Five of them intend
ed to keep for an experiment and conse-
quently was very careful in packing them.
Each apple was examined before putting
it into the barrel; two of the barrels were
Rome Beauty" and the other three were
OF "Falluwater." In one of the barrels of
Rose Beauty put dry oak leaves in the
bottom and on the top before heading up
In the others of the same variety put
nothing, using perfectly dry barrels for
each. In one barrel of Fallawaters used
dry oak leaves at top and bottom, and also
put layers Of leaves among the apples all
through the barrel. In another barrel Ct
the same kind | used paper instead of
leaves, putting in layer of apples, then
covering with a newspaper and so on, al
ternately until the barrel was full In
packing the last barrel of Fallawaters |
wrapped each apple in paper, the same
as oranges are wrapped and then packed
them loosely in the barrel, In all the
barrels bored holes in top and bottom
for the free admission of air and then
stored them in my cellar, laying them on
their sides, being careful to keep them in
as cool place as was safe from frost. In
April OF the following spring opened the
Two barrels of Rome Beauty and found
the one with the Il avts to be in much the
best condition, yet not altogether satislac =
tory. On the first of May opened The
barrel of Fallawaters that was packed
with leaves. 1t was in bad condition,

THE RrRALs Corn EXPERIMENTS FOR
1882 The fields which gave the GREAT
yields of Indian corn at the Rural Farm
three years ago Ohe greatest Yields on re-.
cord produced under like conditional
received dressing of but from three to
five hundred pounds of concentrated
fertilizers. The LAND was in sod and h,d
not been MANFRED for from five to ten
years-the soil a light sandy loan. The
season was highly favorable throughout
We then asked the questions to what
extent the yield was attributable to the
method of cultivion; to what extent to The
favorable season? The last question was
measurably answered by comparing our
own crops with those of our neiohbors
which, though heavy, were yet very much
less.
Our test the past season was made
upon much the same kind of land excent
that 1t had received no manure in over is
years and the fitting. seeding and cuItiva.

lcal fertilizers were applied in much large

was perfect, but the season was biohlv
unfayorable throughout and the Weld rs
will be seen by the account on another
page, light. The experiment is valuable
as showing that neither preparation.
cultivation nor manure can secure LARGE
yields during the bad season. bpt that
nevertheless, manure has its effects and
that different manures have very different
effects.

nearly one half being rotten. On the 5th
OF May | opened the other two barrels
That which had the paper bel ween the
layers of apples was in bad condition, but
not SO many were decayed as in the bar
rel with leaves; the last one, with each
apple wrapped in paper, was in most ex-
cellent condition; there were only twenty
specked and rotten apples in the whole
barrel, while the color was beautifully
preserved and the apples had delicious
flavor. They were fresh and beautiful in
appearance without any dampness or
moisture. A gentleman present when
the barrel was opened pronounced them
the hest kept apples he had ever seen.
The success seemed to be due TO the fact
that the paper absorbed all the mois-
tue that was given off by the apples
while the holes in the top and bottom
allowed the free circulation of air. As to
the other barrel in which paper was
spread in layers, this prevented the free
passage of air among the fruit and damp
ness was retained in the barrel, thereby
causing the apples to decay more rapidly.
We would like to hear from our readers
their methods and success in keeping
apples. 1t is the fruit out of season which
pays the best
Apples which sold at two dollars the
barrel last fall would now in good condi-
ton bring more than double that amount,
perhaps three times the price, and if we
can preserve them nicely and without loss
it would be both pleasant and profitable
Good friends, write US how you keep your
apples, when you pick them and how they
are packed, in Il dry or damp cellar, etc,
and you will confer favor on all who
raise or eat apples.

1t costs about $4,000 year to sail
and keep in repair the four yachts kept
for the use of Queen Victoria. That
amount of money would keep from starry
inc 500 families for one year. But the
dignity and pleasure of royalty must be
maintained even though thousands of
common people perish of hunger.
The above paragraph we find floating
about, showing how short sighted some
people are. The inference to be drawn
from it is. that by her spending that
amount of money on her yachts, poor
people must by just SO much suffer want
and deprivation, while the opposite is the
fact.
The wants and extravagances of the
rich are the blessings Of the poor. This
S125,000 is neither thrown into the sea or
burned up. 1t pays the sailors, carpenters,
Triggers. the painters, cordage makers and
provisioners and through them, filters
back through all industries and trades to
the producers of the raw material Such
rich people are a blessing to the COM
munity in which they live but untnnking
people who feel that they are misuscd.
because somebody else has more money
than they, give voice to their discomfort
and envy in such unjust and unreasoning
paragraphs as the one at the head of this
al ticle.
We know an instance in exact point
A wealthy man built an elegant house,
finished in fine style, and when done it
did not suit him, so he had part Of ii
taken down, the handsome, costly roof
taken off, and built over with such altera.
tions and additions as he fancied, and
with what resultP Why this-that people
said how extravagant he was, just throw
ing away money, that the amount he was
spending on those needless alterations
would have built comfortable houses for
several poor men. Well that was just
what he was doing, giving employment
to Il small army of mechanics and laborers
at fair wages for labor they could not
have had If he had been more easily suited
with his house. The real curse to the
poor man is the rich miser who lives in
more squalid poverty than the poorest
laborer, and boards his gold, Withdrawing
it from circulation, and every dollar so
withdrawn makes the poor mans lot
harder.
Such unreason as the paragraph shows
is on par with that of man who had a
deadly hate Of a banker he had once had
dealings with, and was determined on
terrible revenge regardless of the cost to
himself, so whenever he came across any
of the bankers bills he would secure them
and burn them. He would ruin him by
burning his notes.

REDROOM CONVENIENCES.- Sometlme
it is a difficulty to know how to put away
boots and shoes in room where space is
limited and was shown what seemed to
me to be neat way recently, which may
assist some one in the matter Inc toilet
table was of ordinary size, and covered
with the usual shaped drapery. In front
a deep pointed piece of Watteau cretonne
Representing a group OF figures IN the
centre of folageJ was laid on to stltf
background of mill or card board, and
fell from the edge of the table to the
ground, in the centre of the table. On
each side of it were paitings of muslin.
At each side of the table the same Gre
tonne, but in straight panels and of
different designs, fell. These lifted up
and discovered an inner panel OF holland,
mounted on millboard, with pockets into
which shoes and boots in pairs fitted. On
one side of the table were the walking
boots and shoes, and on the other the
indoor and evening ones. The deep
point in front also lifted up and showed a
box with shelf, in which bonnets and
hats were kept. The cover Of the table
was OF muslin, edged with lace, overlap
ping the edge all round. With Il very
little taste and ingenuity, this useful
toilet table might be carried out Red
Turkey twill and course cream lace would
look well, or the chintz of the furniture,
or all of muslin over color. Some

thread, coarse. and with wide meshed
canvas. They also work a border all
round the top. trim with red and blue
coarse washing lace, called Russian, and
finish off with loops of red and blue
ribbon. If great industry is natural to
the worker, she further works her bed

the outlay of time and labor, as it looks
well, and washes and wears excellently

Bearing Frnit,

While in Boston lately we had given us
an instance of the good resulting from oul
Dairymens' meeting, given us by one o.
the speakers. He was at the time much
impressed by DR.. Grinnell's address on
milk, and especially on its use by chill
dren. He, after his return home, found
some of his intimate and valued friends in
great trouble. They had young child,
which, being unable to obtain nourish-
ment ip the natural way, they were trying
to bring up on condensed milk, as the
best substitute they could get. They had
lost one child in infancy before, and this
was their only one, and was to all appear
of their atiiiction, the father was told OF
DR.. Grinnell's lecture and urged TO try
the pure new milk, which our friend
offered TO furnish for trial. After some
hesitation and as a last resort. they finally
took some, and were about diluting it half
with water, but our friend dissuaded them
and the poor baby was fed for the first
time in its little life with pure new milk
1t soon began to improve and in two
weeks had gained two pounds. The
happy father bought COW and now the
baby takes three pints of milk per day and
bids fair not to join the long list Of the
little children who are cut off every year
by "the mysterious dspensations of
divine providence" leaving our hearts
and homes sad, which just such knowl-
edge as DR.. Grinnell gave, acted upon,
would save. We hope to be able 10
publish later the doctors address in full.
and the general need and want for just
that knowledge makes it duty for every
one to assist in spreading it broadcast
among the homes it will help to make
happy.
