Tho Biggest ApDe Tree.

The largest apple tree in New Eng
land, and probably in the world, is in
the northwestern part of Cheshire,
Conn.,, standing in Mr. Delos Hotch-
kiss dooryard. Its age can be traced
by d family tradition to 40 years at
least, and it may be twenty or twenty
five years older. 1t is at the present
time Of symmetrical shape: the trunk
is nearly round, without SC, or
blemish on it; there are eight large
branches: five of them have been in
the habit of bearing one year and the
remaining three the next. Mr.. Hotch
kiss has gathered in one one year
from the five branches So bushels of
fruit, and his predecessor had harvest
ed Il crop Of ITO bushels from the
same five branches. By careful
measurement, the circumference OF
the trunk one foot above the ground.
above all enlargement is of the roots, is
thirteen feet. eight in ches The girth
OF the largest single limb is six feet
eight inches. The height Of the tree
has been carefully measured and found
to DO sixty feet, and the spread of the
branches as the apples fail is 100 feet.
or six rods. The fruit is rather small,
sweet and of moderate excellence.

Important to Watermelon Thieves;

A watermelon stealer down in South
east Missouri has been comforting tho
souls Of night providers by quoting
Scripture in the Iron County Register
to justify his own palpable infraction
of the eighth commandment. He at
tempts to prove by the Bible that it is
no theft if a man goes unlimited into
his neighbours watermelon patch and
simply fills his belly with the aqueous
fruit there growing. He maintains
that if the melon or me Ions have been
absorbed into and assimilated with the
man, there is no offence in taking
them. But it is absolutely essential to
the validity Of his argument that the
fruit be subjectiyely appropriated, not
effectively. The man must be outside

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TAILOR.
The Indian National Dress and Its Many Good
Advantages.

The Indian National Dress and Its Many Good
Advantages
The national costume OF the people
of India has been much praised for its
simplicity, lightness and adaptability
to the climate of the country. The
saree the dhotur and the turban are
capable Of being manufactured in va
rious tints and colors and of being
folded and displayed on the person in
various ways. The turban possesses
the gre test adaptability to the taste
OF individuals, and we find that this
taste has been exercised by the people
to distinguish the sex of the weurer,
and in some cases the priests.
But the ingenuity that has been ex-
ercised in the form and color OF the
chief articles of dress Of the people Of
this country is not the ingenuity of
the tailor, but the ingenuity of a
people happily ignorant OF the tailor's
art. They are worn by the people
exactly as they pass from the weav-
ing looms; hence when presents Of
cloth are made in families and the
custom Of making such presents is
general-these presents are described
as ''cloths." A bride and bridegroom
receiving a present of cloth at a wed :
ding ceremony are at once dressed in
complete suits of I''cloths.' Sarees,
dhoturs and turbans are simply cloths
OF various lengths, especially the tur-
bans; and it is not at all necessary
that the wearer of the cloth itself
should be OF any relative size, for
| these cloths fit anybody or anybody
fits the garment.
The chief idea which appears to run
| through the Indian national costume
is how to make nature do all the tailor
ing. Tailor-m de clothing has been in
troduced into India since the importn
ton Of needles and thread; but the
SARGE, though made brighter by g col.
ors than formerly still retains its dis
tlnctlon rs a garment that requires nc
tailoring to fit it to the female form.

is never kept in stock by the village
shopkeeper.

GREENLAND'5 ICE CAP.
The COuntry's Interior Is Ma le Level by Ic
Wy ..ts and Snow u

The COuntry's Interior Is Male Level by Ice
and Snow.
The aspectof these boundless wastes
rolling away in scarcely perceptible
undulatiOns, and in the distance ming
ling the gray Of their SHOWS with tho
gray of the skies, at first gave the i'm
preston that Greenland was uniform
plateau, q sort OF horizontal table.
The belief now prevails that the rocky
surface of the sea is, on the contrary,
carved into mountains and hills, valleys
and gorges, but that the plastic SHOWS
and ice have gradually filled up all the
cavities, which now show only in slight
sinuosities on the surf &C. Allowing
B to the whole mass of the ice cap an
average thickness of 500 feet, it would
represent a total volume OF about
100000 cubic miles. This ser1ler suaE,
or great ice" Of the Greenlanders,
flows like asphalt or tar with extreme
slowness seaward, while the surface is
gradually leveled by the snow falling
during the course of ages and distri-
buted by the winds. In the interior of
the country the surface Of the ice and
snow is as smooth as if it were polish
ed, looking like ''the undisturbed sur
face Of a frozen ocean, the long but
not high pillows Of which, rolling from
east to west, are not easily distinguish
able to the eye" Nevertheless, says
y writer in Popular Science Monthly,
the exterior form of the ice cap has
been greatly diversified at least on it's
outer edge, where in many places it is
difficult to cross, or even quite impass-
able. The action of lateral pressure,
of heat produced by the tremendous
friction, Of evaporation and filtration,
has often broken the surface into in.

Something Wrong.

Liberty Bell:
A farmer works a whole. year to
raise his products and place hem on
the market.
A railroad corporation in twenty
four hours transports these pro-
ducts, and for it's one days work de-
mands a greater compensation than
is allowed the farmer for his years
work.
1t may be claimed that it takes 8
great many mems labor for the
twenty-four hours Transporting,
whereas the production requires the
labor of but one man; but it must be
remembered that these many men
transport hundreds of crops in this
short time, whereas the one farmer
by his years work raises but one
crop.
"Oh! Butt says the excuser Of
railroad robbery, 1.-THE company has
millions of dollars invested for it's
work, where the farmer has but hun
dreds." An investigation will show
that division of this corporation
capital by the number Of crops it

transports leaves q smaller capital
in use for each crop than that en-
ployed by the average farmer.
There is something wrong when an
institution can pay extortionate sal
aries almost without end, make al
most unlimited improvements
charged up to expense account, pay
interest of bonded indebtedness equal
to form two to five tinss- the original
cost of the plant, and after paying
all these things, declare large divi-
dends on both real and watered
stock.
