GERMANY has issued decree that no
more evaporated ring or sliced apples
shall be allowed to enter the country with
out a chemists certificate that the fruit is
free from anything injurious to health
The charge is that zinc is found in the
rings. A chemical analysis by the Gov
eminent showed such TO be the case in
some instances. A correspondent of the
Chicago Grocer explains the matter, his
explanation being a partial confession of
judgment. But what have our fruit-evap-
orators to say for themselves? Have they
really been so foolish as to imperil the
possibility of a large fruit trade with Eu-
rope by employing processes that are dan
gerous &c the health of the consumer If
so, there is no excuse that can possibly be
nal that represents the trade, in part, says
60 The cause of the zinc found in apples
must be that some of the trays on which
the apples are placed for drying must have
zinc coating, and the acid of the apples
forming a combination with the zinc.
causes the trouble" But why should so
costly metal as zinc be used at all in fruit
evaporators? Now that attention has been
called TO the matter, it behooves fruit men
to give the subject attention, and to cease
not in investigation until zinc is abandoned
in every process of curing fruit.

Our English cousins, who few years
ago purchased Confederate bonds with the
belief that the time would come when the
Government of the United States would
redeem them, must feel that their chances
of seeing their money return are so ex-
ceedingly small as to be discerned in fancy
only. Sir Edwin Arnold the other day
said that in his opinion the future of the
American Union had been irrevocably de-
termined, and that it would take no back
ward step. The Americans had conquered
their mother and their brother, and to
make them the greatest people on earth
they had only to conquer themselves Such
expression is not likely to give comfort to
Sir Edwin's brethren who hold Confed-
ate paper They will never find better
opportunity to reduce it to ashes than the
present.

OUT OF THEIR PLACE.
A just Rebuke to Two Oyer-Nice You,
Ladies.

Ladies.
Two young women and a Young man
climbed on top of Fifth avenue stage one
day last week and settled down on one of
the back seats for pleasant ride up the
avenue. The young women were of the
prlm sort, and were evidently not used to
travelling on the hurricane deck of We
hicle. On the seat with the driver was a
iashlonably dressed man smoking an excel
lent cigar, and enjoying himself to his
hearts content. The smoke was waited
back, but it was rather enjoyed by all on
the stage except the two prim young la
dies. They didn't like, or at least they
pretended not to like it.
What horrible cigar that is p' said
one.
"He ought to know better than to smoke
on the stage" said the other.
"Well, some people don't know enough
to stop smoking when there are ladies
around"
"Some one should complain to the Off
GERS of the company about it."
The gentleman sitting with the driver
heard all that was said, and it was evil
IDENTIFY said so that he should hear it..
But he smoked right on, and didn't seem
to care whether the officials of the COM
pany were complained to or not. The
young women kept on making remarks
and his position was little embarrassing.
His cigar was pretty well smoked down by
the time he got ready to get off.
As the stage halted he turned to the
young man who was with the prim young
ladies and said: 81 have heard a good
deal OF what has been said about smoking.
Now, 1t might as well be understood that
all these seats up here on the top of the
stage are for smokers and those who ride
with them"
"Who is that?" asked the young man
as the other got down.
."Oh, that's Mr.. Ely Goddard" said the
driver
"And who is hep"
He's the President of this stage COM
pany."-NeW York Times.

EDNA LYALL, the pen-name of Miss
Bayley, of Eastbourne, England, has re-
Gently given the clearest description of the
best method of depicting character in
fiction that we have seen. According to
her system the incident is always subordi-
mated to the character. She sets up the
people of her story to illustrate traits of
human character, to typify certain devel-
opments found in real life When she
has endowed an imaginary man or woman
with certain qualities, these are taken as
the keynotes to the incidents with which
the character is to be fitted. The events
that are the action of the romance are Gre
ated for the purpose of developing with
greatest clearness the traits of the people.
The dramatic incident, the spectacle, the
whole recital, is thus ordered for the one
end Of illustrating the character related
to it. Of course, these events, these incl
dents, must be such as would likely befall
the imaginary people the fancy has Gre
ated. So it happens that in this style of
writing the climaxes always correspond to
the supremest manifestation of the strong
est traits of character treated. The sys-
tenn differs, of course, radically from the
class of fiction creation in which the Incl
dents are chief and the actors secondary,
and it is vastly superior to it in an intel
lectual sense.

DION BoUCIcAULT, in the North An,eri-
can Rerie,r, claims that many years ago
he coined the word auditorium" which
soon came into general use and is now an
accepted part of the English language.
The dramatist now proposes another
word that appears to have as much reason
for establishment as the former. He
would have all the space behind the cur
tain of the theater called the "scenarium,"
as all the space of the stage before the cur
tain is called the 'proscenium." The idea
is not bad one, indeed it will be decided
convenience to have one word that will ex-
press what We now use three to convey
when we say "behind the curtain" or "be-
hind the scenes"

In Birmingham, Ala, two colored men
were appointed letter-carriers, whereupon
all the white men in the carrier depart
ment resigned. The Birmingham Age
Herald says:
The white carriers did right This is a white
community. 1t was white before the war. It
has been white ever since and is white to this
good day, and will remain so.
Then Birmingham must have been a
wonderful exception, an oasis in all the
South. Unless we are all at sea in the
matter of home history, the negro was in
Birmingham before the war, and not be-
cause of his own choice, either. But if
what the Age-HeraLd says is true, and our
memory and reading are at fault, then the
puzzle is where did the colored men now
in Birmingham come from? The same
paper from which we have quoted says:
The New York World talks OF negro education
as solution. This is absurd. The more edu-
cation the negro acquires the sharper the race
conflict becomes. IL Is as laborer only that he
is useful to the white man, and when the inter
dependence of employer and employed which
forms bond of unity between the whites and
blacks is destroyed, their further cohabitstion
OF the same country on equal terms will be i'm
possible.
With such expressions sounding in our
ears we can almost fancy that the world
has turned backward ON the path of time,
and that we hear the cry of the slave-hun-
ter trayersing free territory again in search
of human chattels. II is strange how the
prejudices and bitterness of dead past
viii cling to people to the degree that
makes the utterances we quote pleasant to
their ears.

But She Was Posted on the Latest STYLES,

articles of ladies' makeup.

CHICAGO is at work in all seriousness to
secure the location Of the Worlds Fair.
She has now guaranteed subscriptions to
the amount of 100000 as an earnest of
the sincerity Of her citizens in the matter.
In this respect, the Western metropolis has
outstripped New York. 1t is by no means
among the absurd things to think of the
fair being held in the West. Chicago is
nearer to the central point of density of
population than the Atlantic city; COM
municatlon is nearly as intimate between
Chicago and the rest of the world, and the
European who comes to America in 1892
is not likely to find the trip from the sea-
board to the interior any objection. The
fair located in the West will assure the
dissemination of greater knowledge among
strangers concerning the magnitude of the
United States, and it will therefore serve
purpose in conveying information as to the
extent of our domain and the wonderful
development of the youngest of the great
nations of the earth, that is much needed
among even the most intelligent of Eu-
roneans. Still, if New York can raise the
necessary funds, aud obtain sufficient
ground room for the buildings for the ex-
position, the general sentiment will favor
the chief metropolis of the Union, because
it is the chief.

SHOULD WIVES WoRK1
Making Marriage a Failure in a Com
mercial Sense.

From the Washington Post
The question of whether or not wife
should work for money is an interesting
one, but, like many others, can not be de.
termined on general principles. A woman,
whether married or single, has moral as
well as legal right to earn money. If a
woman's husband is unable through illness
TO support her, it is her duty, if she be
competent, to earn money for herself and
him. If he is indolent or stingy, the ne
cessity certainly justifes the effort.
Considering the question, however, from
the ground of industrial competition, it is
not fair that married women should gem
orally become wage-earners. 1t is inst
neither to the men who support families
nor to the single women forced to care for
themselves. Marriage presupposes the
support of the wife by the husband. Mar
riage is regarded as compact, where mr-
tual interest makes one the proyider and
the other home-maker. When it does not
remove woman from industrial COMPETE
ton, then, In commercial sense, marriage
Is failure. Though the wives of welI-to-
do and wealthy men can earn money, and
IN SO doing break no law on the statute
books, they certainly infringe upon that
larger law relating to the good of the
many. While industry among women is
admirable, and the independence of the
modern girl most praiseworthy, yet it does
not seem fair that wives and daughters of
rich men should absorb the places needed
by poor women and girls.
The married woman earning money.
who is partly supported by her husband,
the girl who lives at home and may use
her earnings as she will, can afford to under
bid the woman who must work. This re-
duces the wages of working women, and
dlscrlminates against them in favor of
those having husbands and fathers. TAX
ing one consideration with another. it
would apparently be more to the general
good if marriages were contracted on the
old-fashioned plan. A young man should
expect to support his wife, A woman
should marry content with the best her
husband can do for her.

A BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAIN VALLEY,

California has many hidden treasures of
scenery known to but few. Among these,
and in the highest SUBMITS of the Sierra
Nevada mountains, there is valley known
to few pioneers and to still fewer
hunters, as French Meadows. 1t is located
diagonally through township 10 north,
range IA east, and its lowest altitude is
$500. practically 5000 feet, above the level
of the sea- The floor of the valley, there
fore, has an altitude equal to the summit
of the Sierra Nevada mountains where
the line of the Central Pacific Railroad
crosses its axis. The valley itself is nine
miles long and two miles wide, and from
its floor, sloping southeast and northwest,
the two great walls which environ this
"Heart of the Sierras" rise to a great alti-
tude The floor of this valley is chiefly
meadow land, but the wooded slopes some
times make encroachments upon the rich
alluvial soil, and thus the valley is inter
spersed with alternating everglade forests.
Notwithstanding its altitude, it is said that
the snowfall never exceeds six feet, while
the snowfall above it on either side some
times reaches the great depth of thirty
feet. The snow-melt occurs from the first
to the fifteenth of June, at which time the
river is raging torrent. AS soon as the
snow disappears the meadow lands take
on a beautiful vernal appearance, are
covered with waving grass and
decorated with wild mountain flowers.
Summer succeeds to winter with something
of the suddenness with which day sue
ceeds to night. The spring season is held
back, resisted by the fortresses of ice and
snow, until a warm day, with warm south
west wind, the sun reaches its northern
tropic, and winter capitulates all at once,
and as if by magic transformation, spring
and summer supervene. Then the for
ests, which so recently were white with
snow, shed the balsamic aroma due to
summers heat. The meadows are COW
cred with waving grass, which springs
from the ground as if by magic. Wild
game becomes abundant. There is an
abundance of fish, especially trout, found in
the lately frozen river, and the short sum-
mer of peaceful seclusion and genial sun
shine reigns. The high SUBMITS which
rise on either side of the valley seem to
shut it out from the rest of the world, and
with it, to shut out all contentious feeling.
1t is the veritable place longed for by the
poet, who exclaimed, "Oh, for some lone
sequestered spot, the world forgetting, by
the world forgot"
Some day some ambitious imitator of
Bierstadt or Church will seek for that
place most deserving of the title, "Ths
heart of the Sierras." and for picturesque
possibilities for transfer to canvas, French
Meadows will lead all other places.

GOVERNOR HILL, of New York, the
other day said that parties, like indi-
viduals, usually act for their own interests.
This is, in sense, true; but, like indi-
viduals, they sometimes make grievous
mistakes as to what will best promote
their own interests. Precisely as the De-
mocracy of Boston will do if it permits
the nomination Of Sullivan.

TIE New York Tribune saws:

Iii generally conceded that a concentration
OF trade and influence. il it can be brought
about through a systematic policy to be agreed
upon by the conference and recommended to
the various Governments will be beneficial in
the highest sense to all nations on the American
Continent.
But the conservation of trade interests
is not the prime object of the Congress of
the Americas. If by the establishment of
relations that will reduce the necessity for
military strength to the minimum, and es-
tablish the foundations of peace so firmly
that they viii be unlikely to be shaken,
there result commercial benefits, it will be
happy outcome. But if the other object
can be obtained, and our commerce with
the other Americas is not stimulated
thereby, great humane end will have
been accomplished, and compact in fact
formed more potential than any written
treaties, and that will do an immense serv-
ice for civilization in the world.
