The Home Orchard.

A variety of apple or other fruit, be-
cause not of the choicest flavor, color,
and shape, is not therefore necessarily
to be despised. 1t may have good cook
ing qualities; it may be sound, healthy,
long-kceper. or be capable of with
standing extreme cold. All these are
valuable qualities. But for the farm or
chard, or that of the amateur, a very
considerable extension of varieties may
be permissible that would be otherwise
thrown out on account of non-produc-
tiveness as one of the principal reasons.
As a rule'a fruit of superior excellence
will not bear SO heavily nor so uniform
ly as coarser varieties. But the farm
ers, and all those who raise fruit for
family use, want quality rather than
quantity. They want but few trees OF
a kind, but those of varieties that will
produce fruit sucessively, from early in
the season to the later autumn and
spring-keeping sorts.
The trees selected for family or.
chard should be of those varieties
adapted to the soil and climate of To-
cality. AS to these it is sometimes diff
cult to decide. But, by advising with
neighbors as to the varieties which sue
ceed with them and are healthy, but
little difficulty will be experienced in
making up a list. And although as
much fruit will not be gathered one
year with another, the quality will com.
pensate for quantity. In addition. the
different forms of tho trees will be
pleasant additions to the landscape. AN
this will apply with equal force to al
other fruits that may be cultivated in q
climate, including small FRUITS Chica'

How to Make Hands soft and White.

There are not nearly as many secrets
in hand treatment as people imagine
A little ammonia or borax in the water
YOU wash your hands with, and that
water Just lukewarm, will keep the skin
clean and soft. A little oatmeal mixed
with the water will whiten the hands.
Many people use glycerine on their
hands when they go to bed, wearing
gloves to keep the bedding clean; but
glycerine does not agree with every one.
1t makes some skins harsh and red.
These people should rub their hands
with dry oatmeal and wear gloves in
bed. The best preparation for the hands
at night is white of egg with grain of
alum dissolved in it. Quacks have a
fancy name for it; but all can make it
and spread it over their hands. and the
job is done. They also make the Roman
toilet paste. 1t is merely white of egg,
barley flour and honey. They say it was
used by the Romans in olden time.
Anyway, it is first-rate thing; but IL
is a sticky sort of stuff to use, and does
not do the work any better than oat-
meal. The toughest and hardest hands
can be made soft and white in a month s
time by doctoring them Il little at bed
time, and all the tools you need are a
nail brush, a bottle of ammonia, box
| of powdered borax and little fine
white sand to rub the stains off, or a cut
of lemon, which will do even better, for
the acid of the lemon will clean any
| thing. g.-Scientifc american

Girls of the MarQuesas.

As our men took their meals on the
spar deck, the women and as many of
the native men as could be provided for
ate with Them. The natives are not
dainty, but cram their mouths full and
eat voraciouslv. The women are very
fond of meat, but are not allowed to
eat it ON the island. where it is taboo to
thenl-another instance of the selfish
character of the men. 1t is too scarce,
however, for the men to indulge in ex-
cept at festival. The taboo is laid
merely by the proclamation of a priest
They have pair OF goats on the is
land, and. that they may increase un-
disturbedly, they are taboo to all per-
sons for five wears. Our dinner-table in
the wardroom being under an open
hatch, they clustered round the hatch
and watched the manner of our eating
| with great delight. Anything that was
handed to one of them from the table
was thankfully received and divided
| among the rest, and eaten with so great
| satisfaction and greediness that they
| reminded us of monkeys Once, for
| curiosity, we took several of the pref
tiest and cleanest girls below to dine
| with us. They behaved with a great
deal of decorum, and in order that they
| might make no mistakes and do moth
ing wrong they watched us closely and
did exactly what we did. Each officer
attended to the girl he brought down,
and he was the model by which she
| governed her actions. She would put
no more in her mouth at time than
he, use her knife and fork as he, lay
them down when he did, be helped
when he was, drink when he did. One
of the officers attending on a girl had a
nervous affection in his under jaw, and
every now and then would screw up his
chin and face in a very ridiculous man,
ner. and he was very sensitive of its be-
ing remarked on. His girl, anxious to
initiate him in every respect, to be per
fectly decorous, kept an eve ON him all
the time, and when he screwed his
mouth to one side she would instantly
do the same. to our infinite merriment
and no less to his modification.

I0:u above letter, We 00u
OOOs will simply say, w g

we have had the exclusive sale OF the
Rookie Quick Train Railroad Watch
for the past three years. No OTHER
PARTY CAN BUY THEM FROM THE FAC
TORY, OR HAS ANY RIGHT TO SELL
THEM. 1t seems to us much like boys
play to get angry and advertise prices
because they cannot buy the goods
We trust the publication of prices will
continue through the whole list, as We
have no money to advertise goods nos
in stock. Sucn desperate efforts will
not deceive any. The people know
that We have never cursed the place as
ready to be fenced in, because we were
going to leave it. They know that We
are not n travelling experimental insti-
