Keeping Apples.

To keep apples IL q difficult matter for
most every one. ften the fault is TO be
found In the cellar, and again In the fruit.
Apples produced from old decayed trees
are not good for late keeping; but this
fact Is not fully understood by the grow.
sr and the fruit Is gathered ut random
from old trees and young trees and oil
mixed together and stored away for
future use or sale, - the case may be,
and the sequel proves failure, - far a.
profit Is. concerned, to the producer.
Well do l remember, away back In years
gone by, when mere boy, the old Or
chard that grew upon the distant hillside
covering some twenty acres, which pro.
duced eli kinds Of natural fruit, and much
Of 1t far superior In quality to that Of the
present day. At shat time We had but

made on high and dry ground sufficiently
large to hold fifty or more bushels. These
were carefully picked by hand from the
tree and placed therein until filled, straw
being placed at the bottom, and the sides
covered with boards and these covered
with earth to protect the pile from frost
In this way, they would keep sound and
nice up to the middle Of June. When
uncovered they were . tempting and
glorious sight for our childish eyes to
look upon. This Is the better way to
keep apples late. Last season I removed

To lame q Bird.

No creature is more jealous or sensitive
than bird, says Olive Thorne Miller. 1t
is easy, however, to win the heart Of a..
most any bird, and without starving him
or making him think he has mastered
you. Simply talk to him good deal.
Place his cage near you on your desk or
workable, and retain his choicest dainty
to give to hi n with your own fingers.
Let him know that he can never have that
particular thing unless he takes 1t from
you, aud he will soon learn, II you are
patient, and do not disconcert him by tx
ing your eyes upon him. After this he
will more readily take 1t from your lips
and then when you let him out Of his
cage, after the first excitement is over, he
will come to you, especially II you have
a call you have accustomed him to, and
accept the dainty from you while free.
As soon as he becomes really cOnvin ced
that you will not hurt him. or try to
catch him, or interfere In any way with his
liberty, he will give way to his bound.

things to accomplish, for public sentiment
ia all against you; but do your best.
Dress her as strongly and as plainly as
she can bear and not feel herself un-
pleasantly unlike her mates; and then let
her run and grow, and forget that she is
doomed to be banded end swathed and
pinched and made uncomfortable all the
days of her life after her happy school
years. Give her free, careless, happy

Just as the darkness is closing down.

Drifting away from the world we 20,
Baby and | in the rocking shair.
See where the fire logs glow and spark,
Glitter the lights of the shadowland
The pelting rain on window, bark!
Are ripples tapping upon its strand.
There where the mirror is dancing dim,
A lake with its shimmering cool and still;
Blossoms are waving above its brim,
Those over there on the window sill.
Rock slow, more slow in the dusky light,
Silently lower the anchor down
Dear little passenger. say good night.
We've reached the harbor of shadowtown.
