The estimate as made by the prin-,
cipal Gamers of vegetables of the to-;
mato pack of New Jersey shows that it,
will exceed the heavy pack OF 1884.
The number of cases packed is 600, 600;
each case contains two dozen cans; this
makes the pack of 1886 represented by,
ID, 10000 cans. New Jersey pack has
generally been equal to the combined
pack of Maryland, Virginia asd Penn

thousand cases short. owing to the fact
that the two former States have in
creased their facilities. Tomatoes were
unusually plentiful this year.-M Y.

A CHRISTMAS LEGEND.

When the shoemaker of Antwerp came TO die,
And in fear and trembling faced the Lord most
high,
TO the question stern and awful: what hast
For the King of Earth and Heaven done below p
Lord" he answered, "others serve thee. I
elone
Have no talent, not 10 offer at Thy throne:
Only this one thing TO Thee, Lord, dare tell:
L have pleased the children, and they love me
well"
Then the awful hush that followed in the sky
Suddenly was broken by pleading cry;
BY the voice of the children that arose
IN the streets throughout the CITY, praying thus:
Dear Lord. we are lonely. The monks and the
In the city abound,
hut since the shoemaker died not man
Have we anywhere found
Who can play the games that the children lows,
And play them so well,
Or tell us tales of the olden time
He only could tell.
There is no one to sing to us the merry old songs
AS he used to do,
Or to whittle us toys, for the rest forget how
Of they only knew.
Dear Lord, there are holy monks to spare
in the streets of the town:
Take one of them up to Heaven and send
The shoemaker down.
Came the sudden wondrous shining of the smile
that lights the skies,
AS the King of Heaven answered: "Laborer in
my vineyard risel
Though thou didst it for the children, thou hast
done it unto Me.
While a child on earth is living thou its living
saint shall be!''
Still find the little children; still their saint
lives on the earth
And when comes the glorious evening of the
Chrst-child's holy birth,
With strange power of speech and motion passes
he from land to land,
Scattering blessings for the children every
where with eager hand.
Where no other saint may enter he comes in
with word,
And his coming and his presence means the
coming of the Lord!

The american AgricuituriSt thus
advises a correspondent on the ques-
ton of nut-bearing trees: I'm prcpar-
ing the soil for nut-bearing trees, do it
as thoroughly as for fruit trees. Plant
in the fall or as early in the spring rs
possible, but not before the soil is dry
enough to work we'll. Two year-old
trees are considered better than only
one year old. Do not apply hot, slim
ulating manures, or even large quanti-
ties of any fertilizer. Nut bearing trees
are very tender until they get well es-
tablished, when they are just the oppo-
site.

Constitution of the syrian Horse.

An interesting statement is made by
Col. Barrow. who was the chief organ
izer of mounted infantry in the British
campaigns in the Soudan. The horses
for the Nineteenth hussars Were Arab
stations of fourteen hands. whose aver
age age was between : and o years,
bought in Syria and lower Egypt. Out
of $50 horses. during nine months in a
hard campaign. only twelve died from
disease. This he attributes. firstly. to
the climate of the Soudan being most
suitable for horses. and, secondly, to the
Syrian horse having a wonderful consti-
tuition.
The distance marched. irrespective Of
reconnoissances. etc, was over 100
miles. and the weight carried averaged
1856 pounds. The weather during the
last four months was very trying, food
was often limited, and during the desert
march water was very scarce. When
Gen. Stewards column made its final adj
vance, the l55 horses the Nineteenth had
with them marched TO the Nile without
having received drop of water for fifty
five hours, and only one pound of grain.
Some fifteen or twenty had no water for
seventy hours. At the end Of the cam

leaned forward To watch the noble carp
As il lay quivering ON it, bed of moss and
crosses, with background of greenery
like a true Japanese garlrn.
This feature of serving the living fish
at feast is one of the rare old customs
of Japan that foreigners seldom exper-
fence in this era of change, and we had
thrills of satisfaction at Witnessing the
grand scene at the same time with hu-
name shivers at Watching the slow
breathing of the dying carp. In the
deftest way morsels and flakes Of raw
fish were lifted from its back and passed
to the company. and with fear of Mr..
Bergh before me lifted up the shreds of
clear pinkish-yellow flesh. Dipped them
i'm soy and ate them. 1t was worse than
cannibalism in sense, and we tried TO
think that the carp before lis had not
been touched with knife. but that bits
from the back of another fish had been
cmningly concealed behind ii and passed
to US.
The epicures meanwhile made all the

tim as they fingered on the delicious

Respect for Books and Papers.

Teach the children at an early age to
respect books and papers. When they
they tear these in mischief or anger take
them away and do not let them be
handled again by the offender. Should a
child show an inclination to throw these
things into the fire, make him compre-
bend that such action is grave INSIDE
meanor, and that he will be punished
for the indulgence. One or two sharp
lessons will probably effect cure.-Phil-

DIR. Holmes and the Autograph Fiends.
The commonest letters are those asking
for autographs. A simple request ac-
companying stamped envelope directed
to the applicant. and containing the card
or slip to be written on, will often bring
an answer. If the applicant will not
take the trouble to make everything as
easy as possible to the respondent, but
contents himself with sending stamp,
his letter should go into the waste-basket,
and the stamp he appropriated as the
p,rson thus imposed upon sees fit. The
request should always he brief; the best
j ever received had no length at all,
being simply blank card in stamped
and directed envelope. The number Of
words sometimes used to convey the APP
plicant's request is truly astonishing. L

An Intelligent Ape In Dresden.

Confined in the Dresden geological gar
den was an ape whose intelligence was
well-nigh human. If left alone for any
time she tried to open the lock of her
cage without having the key, and she
once succeeded in doing so. Then she
ST. lie the key, which was hanging on the
wall, hid it in her axilla, and crept
quietly back TO her cage. With the key
she easily opened the lock. She could use
gimlet. She would draw off her
keepers, scramble up to some place out
of reach with them. and then throw them
at his head when he asked for them. She
could blow her nose with pocket-hand-
kerchief. Just before her death, which
occurred from consumption, she put her
arms around her Keepers neck when he
came to visit her. looked at him placidly,
kissed him three times, stretched out her
hand to him and died. She displayed an
affection and grief that could be truly
called human.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
