BARRELING APPLES.
Suggestions by the President of the On
tariO Fruit-GrOwers' Association.

Suggestions by the President of the On
tario Fruit-GrOwers' Association.
Choose a solid place on the ground
and place barrel upon a solid piece
of plank. Lay the first course of APP
pies with the stem end down. The
packer should not take special samples
for this course, but just take them as
they come, and place them so as to
make a solid row on the bottom. The
next row also should be put down.
The barrel should be 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 an
other, and that is where a little judg-
ment and experience is required. A
man must know every variety he is
packing, in order to know how many
to put in the barrel; whether he will
fill it to the chine, an inch above the
chine, or even further. Then the last
row has to be placed so as 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. If the
apples before packing have been what
we call sweated-and the best place to
sweat apples is on the ground-they
should if possible, remain on the
ground for a week after being
picked from the tree-they will
carry much better. OF course
IN wet weather they are better taken
in to the barn floor or some other con-
venient place, but as rule they
should remain for a week or ten days
after being picked; the skin toughens
in that time l find quite difference
in the Northern Spy, which has such a
tender skin, in places where they are
left on the ground to tougher and get
through this sweating process-they
will carry much better. Before pack
ing, the first thing to do is to make up
your mind how many grades you are
going to have in the pile from which
you are packing. There will be two
grades at least, and the chances are
not more than three. For instance,
take Baldwin grown on the inside OF
a tree. that is apt to be rather green.
That will be one grade. All the me
Diminished apples-have them all the
one size as much as possible-and
pretty high colored, that is another
grade Grown at the top of the tree
or on the outside limbs apples will be
much smaller, but high in color. That
will be your third grade. A barrel of
apples when opened should be all as
near of the one size and color as it is
possible to have them. If you pack
your barrels in that way, and brand
them accordingly, the buyers in Brit
ain and elsewhere will soon get to
know that that brand represents we'll
selected, honestly-packed apples, and
the result viii be that they will pay a
fancy price for it. The price is not SO
much of a consideration with them a.
it is to get the very best article.

| Soaking the feet in hot mustard water,

warm bed with the hOt-water bottle at
the back (when the chill begins) and
soap-stone at the feet, giving hot lemO-
made to drink, and nothing to eat save a
little toasted bread or Cruel for twelve
hours, will often effect a cure without
medicine. If the lungs seem stuffed
up, put on a faxseed-meal poultice
covered with dry flannel
The easiest way of making poultice
is to put on the back of the stove to heat
tin plate; lay on this a piece of soft
cotton cloth. Put sufficient meal in a
bowl, pour on boiling water, stirring
briskly and making as stiff as you can,
and spread it. Spread over one-half of
the cotton, turn over the other half,
turn over the two edges all around to
keep the meal from falling out. If the
pOultice is to be carried far have
another plate to cover it. Lay the
pOultice on the skin and cover with
hot, dry flannel.
In a severe case the poultices should
be changed every half-hOur or less.
Have the new poultice ready, and
work quickly so there will be no ex-
posture to the air. In all lung troubles
and Group the temperature of the
room needs to be carefully looked
after. It should not vary day or night,
and pure air should be admitted if
possible without giving the patient a

should depend on poultices, keeping
the patient warm in bed, an even tenn

DON'T TALK TOO MUCH
Hints for Retail Statesmen Who Desire {.
BE Successful.


BE Successful.
To be a successful salesman one must
maintain a certain amount of reserve.
Too much talk has spoiled many a good
trade. 1t is tiresome to purchasers,
who frequently prefer to be guided by
their own Judgment than by the sug-
gestiOns of store clerks. People who
buy goods, particularly the ladies, gen.
orally think over what they want and
make up their minds before they start
out on a shopping expedition about
what they want and what they feel
they can afford to pay for it. When
they enter a store and call for a certain
quality of goods they expect the sales
man to place before them what they
desire-not to suggest they know some
thing a good deal better, which they
are sure will give them far greater salts
faction.
Customers as a general thing do not
like talkative and garrulous store
clerks, they prefer quiet, obIiging,
dignified salesman, who will show them
goods without any ostentatious display
of his person or intellectual imbecility.
Clerks should never be impertinent or
snappish, even to their interiors. They
should learn to treat all customers with
courtesy and impartial politeness.
Jokes, stories and sloppy sentiment
should never by manner or expression
do or say any thing to offend the dig
nifty of matron or bring blush to a
modest maiden's cheek. They should
never remind any homespun agricul-
turist of any unpleasant mistake he
may have made in his past career, for
such men are always more or less sens
ative and do not like to be made butt
Of
Many clerk by trying to say some
smart thing has lost good customer
to his employer and made himself an
object of subsequent aversion to the
party whom he has offended. Sales
men should talk just enough and
should have sufficient common sense
to know when they have talked enough.
They should be polite and patient
under provocatiOn and use their utmost
endeavors to make friends for employ
ers, thus aiding in building up and
successfully carrying on business.
Some may think these remarks COM
mon-place, but they play more i'm
portant part in the success or failure of
the retail stOrekeeper than many im-
agine. Grocer'S Criterion.

A NOBLE PROFESSION.

The Enviable Position Occupied by the
American Physician.
The physician sees, in the sick room,
human nature as it really is, devoid of
all mask or concealment; and it is safe
to say that those cases are few in
which the true nature is not greatly
inferior to that presented to the world.
If his patient succumbs to the disease,
the doctor is too often uniustly
blamed; while if he RECEIVERS he finds
that appreciation and gratitude are
developed in inverse proportion to the
progress of cOnvalescence. NOtwith-
standing all these drawbacks, the life
of a successful and skillful physician
is a most satisfying one to those who
really love their profession, and none
other should enter it. No calling is
more noble or more useful. There is
a satisfaction and delight in relieving
pain and restoring health and strength,
which the physician experiences in all
its fullness, even when the patient
himself is unappreciative. The prac-
tice of medicine furnishes a wide field
for the exercise of the scientific facul-
ty, whether it be in the direction of
the manipulative dexterity of practical
surgery or the more purely intellect
ual work of the treatment of func-
tionaI and organic disease. A large
proportion of those most emf
nent in natural and physical
science have been men who began
their career as students of medicine,
and only at a later period of their life
abandoned the hospital and dissecting-
room for the chemists laboratory or
the naturalist's study. The social po-
sition of the physician is, in this coun-
try, a remarkably high one. In other
countries, notably in Europe, the case
is different. He is there considered as
rather belonging to a lower class of
society, and only worthy to be ranked
wilh tradesmen. With US, however,
the ase is very different. The, physi-
clan is usually prominent man in the
community, and the trusted friend and
counselor of families and individuals,
in many cases for generations. 1t is in
the consciousness Of his power and use
fitness. however, that the physician
experiences his highest satisfaction.
From the hour of birth to that of death
he watches over his fellow beings, re-
lieves their pain and preserves and
prOlongs their existence. Fortunate
is he who has for his medical adviser
a wise, skillful and conscientious man,
such as is so often found in the pro-
fession; and happy is such a physi-
clan in the consciousness of a useful,
honorable and noble life.-Popalay

NATURE OF FOODS.
The Difference Between heterogeneous and
CarbOnaceOus Articles of Diet.

N1ErORenOuS
CarbOnaceOus Articles of Diet.
Foods that supply material for
growth and repair are called nitro
genous foods. They are also called
proteids, from Greek word meaning
First" because in the living cells
which are the first principle or form
OF life there is always nitrogen. A
common name is albuminous foods.
Albuminous substances exist in many
forms, and are called by different
names in different things. They are
found largely in meat, fish, milk, peas,
beans and grains. The albumen and
fibrin in the juices and flesh of meat
and fish, and in the juices and men,
branes Of some vegetables and fruits.
the casein in milk, the vegetable casein
in peas and beans, and the gluten of
grains, are all forms of heterogeneous
substances, or proteids.
The carbOnaceOus foods are fats, in
Guiding butter, the fat of meat or fish,
oils, eggs, and some kinds of cheese.
A small amount of fat is neces-
sary in digestion, aud indispensable
to perfect nutrition. Starch and sugar
as found in vegetables and fruits are
also fat producing. Fats from the
principal material of certain tissues
giving rotundity and beauty to the
form and being nOn-conductOrs of
heat, keep the body warm. An undue
accumulation of fat is a species of dis
ease and is often dangerous.
Thus we see that the solid part of
the flesh and blood is largely fibrin and
aIbumen, substances similar to the
ibers and juices of meat and fish, and
that eggs, milk, peas, beans and grains
also contain fbrin and albumen, and
it is from these heterogeneous foods that
the bodily substance is chiefly built
up.
Age, occupation, climate and our
finances should influence our choice of
food. Persons whose occupations tax
their muscular strength often think
that they require great deal of meat,
when there are many foods that con-
tain as much as, or more, prOteid mat
ter than meat, such as peas, beans,
cheese and grains.
Animal food is better diet for cold
weather than for hot. Fat is not di-
gested easily unless exercise is taken.
Fruits, vegetables and grains eaten
with milk, butter or oil, furnish the
carbohydrates needed in summer.
Those who labor or exercise in the
open air need a large quantity of
wholesome food, and it need not be the
most digestible, as they require food
that will stay by them.
Persons engaged in sedentary Occu-
patiOns or who take little exercise and
live in close, confined rooms, can not
digest as much or as easily as those
who labor out-of-dOors. Those who
tax their brain severely should avoid
fat. People who consume much starch
or sugar are liable to grow fat. As a
rule the majority of people eat too
much, and between forty and fifty
years of age an excess of abluminates
is liable to develop heart, liver and
kidney troubles, which are more or
less akin to dyspepsia. An excess of
starchy food or of sugar or fat, causes
obesity, not only of the body, but an
accumulation of fat about the heart
and other internal organs which is liza
BILE to prove very dangerous. Build

WHOM HE GODS LOVE

''Vhom the gods love, die young" twas sal
BY some one quite audacious,
A saying which beyond doubt is
Exceedingly fallaeious;
For many live TO good old age.
Loved OF the gods quite clearly,
And these are they, we're free TO say,
Whom all the gods love dearly.
The umpire OF the base ball game,
Impartial in decision,
Whose judgment e er unbiased is
BY bunlzum or derision;
Him do the gods most truly love,
Round him their guardians hover,
And when he gets a broken head
They aid him to recover.
The maiden with the Iow-crowned hat
Who visits the theater
Is much beloved OF all the gods
They rank her higher greater
Than all the beautiOus ones bCdeCked
In fashions flashing glories,
Who wear rich jewels by the peck
And hats that have two stories.
Then there's the editor, who gives
For borrowed wit due credit,
And seeks before the reading world
In honest way to spread it;
Him DO the gods Ia truth adore
With love that never ceases,
As witnesseth his family,
Which steadily increases.
But more than all the gods regard
With depth of friendly feeling,
The coal man who in winter time
Is honest in his dealing;
When for a ton Of anthracite
He gives the fullest measure,
The gods unite in worshiping
Earth's dearest, rarest treasure.
