Driving Apples.

The season for drying apples is at
hand, and where there are a good many
to help in a family, if apples are plenty,
quite a large amount NAV be dried dur
ing the season without much interfer-
ence with other work. The best apples
for drying are those that are white
fieShed and sharply acid. Sweet apples
and such as have no decided flavor da
not make good dried fruit | would as
soon have sun dried apples as those that
have been evaporated, were it not that
insects are SO numerous and troublesome
that it is about impossible 10 dry them
that way and keep them clean. Wind
falls may be used for drying, if not too
badly injured in falling. but the bruised
spots must be cut out or they will show
in the dried fruit and injure it as much
as they do the green. A small dry house
can soon be made at very little expense,
to be heated by stove. For my own
use prefer apples dried in quarters to
those that have been thinly sliced.
Timely Suggestions.
The question as 10 early or late sowing
of grain has never been settled, although
the majority of farmers SOW early.
Progressive farmers are generally
agreed on the superiority of drilling in
grain seeds over sowing in broadcast.
Now is the time to plant spring flow
ering bulbs, such as tulips, hyacinths.
crocus, narcissus and the like.
The honey crop is poor one in most
sections, owing to the results Of heavy
and continuous rains.
Asparagus plants may be set out either
in autumn, after they have ceased to
grow, OF. in the spring.
Never, except an untlmely frost forces
to it, fill the silo until the corn is begin
ming to glaze ox mature enough to cut,
were we to cut up and husk in the old
way; and never put any crop'into the
silo while at all wet with rain or dew.
Such ere Professor A. j. Cooks rules.

And in the words of Plato, as admir-
able as they are hackneyed, the beau
tiful Is the splendor OF the true, says
q writer In the Forum for April.
Our artists are, In Charles Lambs
phrase, deeply corporealized, and
enchanted hopelessly in the groveling
letters OF externality." And this they
call realism. The fine arts, as they
exist among US, bear witness only too
clear and decisive to the idealiziDg of
life. "a poor toy, petty or vile," Is
the sentence pronounced upon mod
ern art by Mr.. Ruskin. Barren In
Dobleness and void OF dignity, the arts
of design, as they exist among us,
proclaim that GLORY and loveliness
have passed away" from common life.
And now let me set down what
believe to be the true theory of art
the theory which, consciously or
unconsciously, has inspired every
great artist who ever lived. do not
know who has better formulated 1t
than Kant, in q pregnant passage of
his "Critique Of Judgment: "Only
the production of liberty, that IL, of a
volition which POUNDS its actions upon
reason, ought properly to be called
art" Il was observed by Goethe that
to read Kant is like going into Q
lighted room. What an illumination
Is thrown upon the whole subject Of
esthetics by these few words of his.

The Eifel Tower.
vossiche Zeitung.


The monstrous tower designed by
engineer EifFel for the Paris Exposi-
ton has three stories or divisions.
The first story is sixty metres high "a
metre is equal TO thirty nine inches)
and rests on the arches which Join the
four foundation columns that carry
upon them the entire weight of the
huge tower.
The tower has four distinct sections.
Each wing is provided with a refresh
ment saloon that may be reached by
means of winding staircsses under the
/ foundation piers. Notwithstanding
the center of the space has been set
apart for the elevator, there still
remains 1900 square metres of floor
room for the accommodation OF
visitors who may desire to promenade
and enjoy view of the city from that
height.
f The apartments are very roomy, and
precautions have been taken to insure
the visitors against all possibility OF
accident.
An iron railing, about four feet high,
with an arched root to exclude the
intense rays OF the sun, surrounds the
extreme edge of the platform, as ii
may be called, which has been reserved
as a promenade for those who desire
to walk about. The requirements for
the comfort of the inner man, too,
have not been forgotten. Kitchens,
store rooms, ice-chests and the like
have been fitted up in the most handy
manner imaginable, so that there is
little occasion to fear that the supply
of stimulating refreshments will give
out, even in the days when such
lodgings in the hotels and private
houses will not be obtainable for love
or money. Each one of the four Gates
rs provided with q cellar capable of
holding two hundred tuns of wine.
Everything about the structure Is
absolutely fire. proof, for iron Is the
Sonly material that has been used In
its construction. Two thousand per-
sons per hour can ascend and descend
the staircases leading to the platform,
and 900 can find seats to rest upon
In the cafes at one time.
Inc second story, which is sixty
metres above the first one, is also
reached by four staircases built inside
of the supporting columns, which
make sharp inward curve, leaving
but 400 square metres of surface for
the platform and promenade. here,
too, in the commodious and hand
somely decorated cafe the thirsty and
tired sightseer may find something
more potent than Seine water to
recuperate his strength.
