hEEPING LATE PEARS.
A Few Hints About Taking Care of The
Fruit that has Beer

Winter pears, and even very late Autumn
varieties should remain on the trees as late
as possible. This is imperative. An oc-
e~asional light frost will not iniure them,
but a freeze viii. They should be handled
very carefully SO as to prevent bruising and
abrasion OF the skin. \ great deal of
fruit IS ruined by carelessness in handling,
although at the time they show no out
ward marks. Decomposition which fol-
lows quickly after maturity, always seizes
upon any confusion Of the skin or flesh,
and the fruit is rendered worthless before
one is aware of the trouble. After removal
from the tree the crop should be at once
packed tightly in boxes and placed in a
cool cellar to remain until the ripening
season. In small lots OF choice varieties,
it is preferable TO wrap each specimen in
soft paper before packing away; indeed,
my experience has been that it pays to SO
wrap all pears, where exterior beauty is
desirable. Most winter pears are apt to
shrive and dry up, but wrapping and
keeping the fruit from contact with the
outer air, and especially heat, viii tend to
preserve their plumpness and flavor.
A high, or even moderate temperature
is to be avoided in the fruit cellar. What
is essential, is TO keep the mercury from
40 to 45o, bat never above. A little less
Will answer, SO that freezing be avoided.
A common expression among the old fruit
men was. keep the fruit well aired, but
it is doubtful IL this advice is much needed
now. 1t may answer for summer and
autumn fruits, but it does not bring the
best results during the winter. A moisi
atmosphere, or ono reasonably So, appears
to give satisfaction in many instances, al

HAPPY HOMES.

Happy homes, then, depend on happy
hearts, and happy hearts are sure to make
happy homes. We sometimes remain at
home a long time, until we think we are
worse off than anybody else, but on going
about to see our neighbors we find that we
all the fault is in ourselves. If our flow
ers are not quite as pretty as those of our
neiehbors, it is because we have not given
them the attention that she give hers, If
our cooking is less palatable than hers, it
is because she practices that art more, or
take more pains than We do. If she has
more pretty home decorations or useful
articles it is because she has been more in
dustrious. Thus, we can trace the fault
back to ourselves in every respect, if we
would only do so; but many of MS are
blind to orr own defects, and prefer blam-
ing some other member of the family i'll
stead of correcting ourselves. Conse-
q%uently, there is a continual wranglc, and
no Improvement and no happiness. The
inmates of a home-circle that might be
very happy become dissatisfied and seek
other homes, till at last maybe there are
one or two left, or maybe all are separat-
ed from one another and are alone in the
world, without ties, without homes, with
out friends.
A large, united family is the height OF
human happiness. Love rules, and each
s~ustains his or her part, II perfect har-
mony reigns. There is just work enough
for each of us to do, and plenty of leisure
for each to pursue his or her favorite oc-
cupation or amusement. Such a home is
a true type of heavenly happiness.

THE ~UNFRUITFUL TREE.

There stood in a beautiful garden
a tall and stately tree.
Crowned with its shining LEAKAGE,
1t was wondrous fair to see.
But the tree was always Ruthless:
Neyera blossom grew
On its long and beautiful branches
The whole bright season through.
The lord of the garden saw it,
And he said, when thelcaycs were sere:
'.Cut down this tree so worthless,
II plant another here.
My garden is not for beauty
Alone, but for fruit as well,
And no barren tree must cumber
The place in which l dwell.t
The gardener heard in sorrow,
For he loved the barren tree
As we love some things about MS
That are only fair to see.
Leave it one season longer
Only one more. l pray"
He pleaded; but the master
Was firm, ana answered, May
Then the gardener dug about it,
And cut the roots apart,
III IL itbi VI thI Wv ~
Struck home to the poor trees heart.
Faithful and true to his master,
Yet loving the tree so well,
The gardener toiled in sorrow
Till the stormy evening fell
Tomorrow" he said. al will finish
The task tina l have begun"
But the morrow was wild with tempest,
And the work remained undone,
And through all the long, bleak winter,
There stood the desolate tree,
With the cold, white snow about it,
a sorrowful thing to see.
At last, the sweet spring weather
Made glad the hearts of men.
And the trees in the lords fair garden,
Put forth their leaves again.
81 will finish my task tomorrow"
The busy gardener said,
And thought, with u thrill of sorrow,
That the beautiful tree was dead.
The lord came into his garden
At an early hour, next day,
And then TO the task unfinished
The gardener led the way.
And 10, all white with blossoms,
Fairer than even TO see,
In its promise of coming fruitage
There stood the beautiful tree (.
sit is well" said the lord of the garden,
And he and the gardener knew
That out of its loss and trial
Its promise of ~fruitfulness grew.
1t is so with some lives that cumber
Fora time the Lords domain:
Out of trial and mighty sorrow
There cometh a countless gain.
And frui. for the Masters pleasure
Is born of loss and pain.
