Associations Which Keep Records of
Mems Careers and Deeds.
Every trade and profession has, be-
side its money-making quality, its
picturesque side, its point of dramatic
interest, which allies it to life and to
human nature. The educated carpen-
ter or builder will 60 back as far as
Solomon for the origin of his tools, and
the secret significance attached to them.
The lawyer is not concerned alone
with dry laws and statutes, but with
the hidden histories Of families and the
tragedies of crime. The doctor, study
ing bones and nerves and blood, and
the effect of certain drugs on them, is
Knocked by that intangible mystery be-
meath his fingers called Life, which
comes and goes he knows not how nor
why.
Even that most prosaic of tradesmen,
the grocer, knows of secret oracle
which he consults to discover the char
acter of a new customer. This is the
Black List, which is issued yearly by the
Grocers' Association, and which con-
tains the names of all the heads of
families in the cities and larger towns
in the United States who are ''bad

A similar publication gives the COM
mercial reputation of all business men
in the country. Should John Doe or
Richard Roe, from Western town,
go into large mandatory or whole
sale house in one of the large cities to
purchase goods and ask for credit. he
would probably be detained by con-
versation with one partner for few
moments while the other consulted a
large volume, or telegraphed to the
agent of this protective association in
the town from which he came. His
character is known and recorded. No
protestations or appearances of hon.
esty which he may put on, will efface
the memorable black mark against his
name if it appears in the secret book.

Some Rare Specimens.

new to potanists. The professor also
brought a number of implements,

mares Indians, who lived in the arid
wilds of the Sierra Madre mountains.
These Indians, some ten thousand in
number, live in the most primitive and
simple manner. their clothing being
merely blanket and breech clout,
and they dispense with the blanket in
warm weather, No hats and no shoes
are worn, and they sleep on mats on
the floor. They raise sheep and make
their own wooden blankets. Prof.
Palmer has quite a collection of inter-
esting relics of old Mexico, which he
will place in the National Museum
here. Washington Critic.

The Northern Spy Apple.

This is one of our most delicious
winter apples. The only fault found
with it, is that it comes late into bear
ing, later in fact than any other of our
leading market varieties. The tree is
rapid, upright grower, forming dense
heads which should be opened sufficient
ly by thinning out the inner branches,
to admit sun and air; when this is me-
elected the fruit will be deficient in fla
vor. Ten to twelve years is the age re-
quired before apple trees produce good
crop, but with the Northern Spy twelve
to fifteen years are generally necessary.
1t originated near the city of Rochester,
N. T., and it is in this section of the
State that the variety reaches It's high
est perfection, although it succeeds well
throughout the Northern States.
