Ginger Topers.-Iti is not generally known that
there is peculiar kind ofdisspation known as the
"ginger vice" The victim is as much slave to his
appetite as the opium eater or whisky drnker, and
it is even more insidious than either Ct these
tees, inasmuch it harmless. It is really
one of the most injurious of such Practices in time
destroying the coating of the stomach and booming
the victim 10 Il slow and agonizing death The
essence of ginger contains 100 per cent OF oil eohol
while whisky has only 50 per cent. This is why
ginger is favorite beverage with topers whose
stomachs are no longer capable OF intoxicaton from
whisky The habit is well known to the drug trade,
and, sad to say, many women are addicted to it,

New Silks.

The new silks are soft and lustrous, with q cord
almost as heavy as the old, fayorite Ottoman silk
It is surprising what good silk now be purchased
for S. per yard and only s175 per yard is asked Tor
the exquisite stripes aud plaids used in combina-
ton. The three popular colors gray, green and
brown. Dark blue and garnet appear, but are sell
dom selected. The grays very dark and moro
generally becoming than lighter tints of this color
When buying entire new dress it is better to pur
chase but one material; then, when partly worn
piece 1t out with something else. A stylish gray
silk lately made has pleas in front and slightly
dreped back bTeadths. There is an apron caught
up high and on one side loops and ends of ribbon
fall from under the edge Of the apron in graceful
careless way. Folds of silk and ribbon trim the
basque which is cut in deep point both front and
back The ribbon matches the silk perfectly.
If you have e plain silk dress to be made over
there multitude OF stripes and paids in oil the
new shades that combine well with goods OF a solid
color. Stripes are tho fayorlte, but scme of the
plads most striking, in fact decidedly too gay
for women with quiet tastes. They make pretty
dresses for misses and the price for good quality
of plaid silk is but 81 per yard liked particularly
green silk plaided with lines of red. One of the
new designs i'll stripes has dashes of white, as
though you had taken paint brush and touched
the material at regular intervals, leaving broad
white mark This is SNOWY pattern, but not as
desirable as other styles. In better taste are the
stripes formed of clusters Of white lines on brown
gray, green or red ground.

How to Pack Barrel of Apples.-Choose a solid
place on the ground end place barrel upon solid
piece of plank. Lay the Trst of apples with
the stem end down. 1j.e packer should not take
special samples for this course. but just take them
es they come and place them so as to make solid
row on the bottom. The next row also should be
put in carefully, with the blossom end down. The
barrel should he carefully shaken down on that
solid plank after each basketful When the packer
comes to the top of the barrel he evens them off
according to the variety. One variety will press
down closer than another and that is where little
Judgment and experience is required. A man must
know every variety he is packing in order to know
how many to put in barrel; whether heiwill fill it to
the chine, an inch above the chine or even further
Then the last has to be placed to be in an
oval position before you put the press on, with the
stems up, SO that when you put the press on they
will press down evenly and level and afterward on
opening the barrel you can not tell at which end
you commenced. That is a barrel packed properly,
and it will carry and carry thoroughly .-Presdent
of Ontario Fruit Growers Association.

Many of the citizens of the North Fork
country were somewhat disappointed by not
getting the pu.trrs issued for the call Of the
convention here on the 5,h, to elect delegates
to the Denver convention. The matter Of
sending them out left with County Clerk
Hodsdon. those for Hotchkiss AID Paonia
were given to Mr.. Geo. Birch, who agreed to
deliver them. but, /, seems, he did not. We
have talked with the clerk and can assure
the E-ople of North Fork that there was no
slight intended. and that the very best OF
feeling exists toward them all. and the whole
matter rests upon the shoulders of Mr.. Birch
who failed, as it now appears, to deliver the
bills ~ agreed upon.
