looking poultry 1t is old. To judge of the
age press the breast bone at the point toward
the latter end of the body. If young, it will
be soft and pliable. Breeds with long legs
and big bones are not as fine as those that are
full breasted and plump. hen-turkey is
better than the Tom The legs should be
he black and smooth. The windpipe of a
vo,lrp goose or duck should be smooth,
while in other birds it is hard. IL the feet
of the duck or goose are red and stiff, the

for hat they are worth. Look out for

The Foreign Apple Market,
AMOS WILDER.

II has been several weeks since we have
received our usual special market report
from foreign receivers. ideed the foreign
market for apples has been so Hat that it was
no use to cable anything about them. But
to-day, Jan. 81, we have received a report
from the New York agents of Liverpool,
London and Glasgow buyers, cabled Jan. l6,
which says that 1.-The market for American
apples has improved materially" The Liver
pool sales on that day were as follows Boston
Bsldwins 81 s2a23l; Maine Baldwins,s2 "a
8 L. Then it will be seen that at last Maine
Bsldwins have a recognized quotation in the
foreign markets, and are held at higher
apples of the same variety. Our
New York correspondents, Messrs. d. Lang
Mayer & Co. 81 Broad Street, who are the
American representatives of several foreign
apple handling firms, says "our Londor
house. Messrs. J. c. Houghtou Co, repor
a good demand for apples, especially fol
good Greetings" Thus little CLEAN OF
encouragement comes from over the biz
pond to our Maine apple growers whose eel
lars are now flu | of choice varieties, and be
fore April apples may be worth something
after all Sull our advice would be, il
asked to give it, "sell if you get gooc
price"

A Parasian Joke.

The many acquaintance OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Reynolds. prominent members of the
First Baptist church OF this city. says the
Minneapolis Journal, are telling an anus
ing story I'm which the two were. the chief
characters. The scene is laid in gay
Paris. Mr.. and Mrs. Reynolds recently
made u lengthy European trip. While in
Paris they were patrons Of a fashionable
hotel. For several months previous to
leaving for the tour abrnad Mrs. Reynolds
assiduousiy applied all her energies to
studying the French language. She was
an unusually apt scholar. When the time
for leaving home came Mrs. Reynolds
teacher congratulated her upon the rapid
manner i'm which she had mastered ths,
language. and Mrs. Reynolds personally
believed she proficient enough to
cope with the Parisians ina their own tom
que when the great metropolis should bs,
reached.
Mr.. and Mrs. Reynolds spent many a
pleasant day i'm Paris, and only have i'm
remenbernnce one brief halliday Of ago
mining misery. IL happened this way: In
Parisian hotels the attac hes are suavc and
obliginR. One afternoon MIR. Reynolds
iourneyed down town alone. When Mrs.
Reynolds found herself ready to leave her
apartments she turned to the bright-eyesi
waiting maid, and, with the best French
at her command, told the girl to tell her
husband. when he returned To the room,
| that she had gone down into the public
parlor, where she would wait for him.
"oui. Tnasiame." replied the girl with a
knowing smile and n low courtesy. IL was

9iven her before.
Mr.. Reynolds passed down IN the pub
lie parbDr. She waited q full hoslr for her
hssshansi and ny that time became very
nervous over his non-appearance. She
antia. When nearly Opposite her apart
nsents she heard strange sosintis from with
I'm. PnssinR quickly Co thr window she
was tbunslerstrs,ck tn SEQ her husband
pacing the fioor as lively gait, ge<ticss-
lating wildly with his hands and rnutter-
ing savagcly. Ever and anon he would
try the door. II would not open. Mrs.
Reynolds ran tn his assistance; opened
the door; the girl was found. and then
Reynolds French had trippesl her up, so
tn speak. The girl understood her Ia say
she should lock her husband in the rDoni
when she returned, and she ol,sycel orders.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Reynolds afterwarsl
enjoyed the joke hugely.
Thereafter. however, Mrs. Reynolds In
sisted that the language of her fors,fathers
was y,osi enough for her.
