Picking and Keeping The Fruit.

Fruit growing is no more impor-
tant to the hOrticulturist than pick
ing and keeping the products after
they have ripened. When a fruit is
thoroughly matured decay begins to
set in very shortly, and unless the
conditions are such as to prevent this
the fruit will rapidly become worth
less. Fruits picked for the market
must be gathered before they are
thoroughly ripened, except in the
case of very perishable fruits, which
have to be gathered, marketed and
sold within few days after picking.
The winter apples, pears and similar
fruits are picked before they are full
ly ripehed, and their keeping quail
ties then depend upon the fruit
houses in which they are stored.
In picking fruits that are to be kept
for any length Of time some system
should be adopted which will pre-
vent unnecessary bruising, punctur-
ing of the skin and mellowing. APP
pies or pears that are shaken from
the tree will not be fit for keeping
with the sound ones unless they were
caught in their fall by muslin bags
prepared for them. The skin should
be sound and no sign of bruising visi-
BILE on the fruits before storing into
the fruit-house. 1t is not so much
the loss of one fruit that is to be de-
plored, but the fact that one decay
ing fruit will communicate the de-
composition to the Others.
A fruit-house for storing fruit is in
valuable to those who raise many for
the market and home use. 1t can
first be used for storing the strawber-
ries, raspberries and all of the small
err fruits during hot weather The
summer pears and apples and peach
es will come in next for a share in
the benefits of the house. Later in
the season the winter fruits can be
stored in the house and kept until
needed for the market or for home
consumption. The cellar is poor
place for the fruits, and it should not
be put to this use.
The fruit-house should be separate
from the living house, and if possible
it should be placed partly under
ground. In this way more warmth
is obtained in the winter time and
more GOODNESS in the summer. The
walls and roof should be non-cOn-
Quoting, in order to keep the heat out
in summer and the cold in winter.
A low, even temperature is the most
essential thing about the fruit-hOuse
at all seasons, and if this can be OBJ.
tanned the fruit will keep well. A
method of ventilatiug should be pro-
vided, for the circulation of pure air
around the fruit is also essential to
its preservation. The temperature
should be kept a few degrees above
the freezing point, and decomposi-
ton will then be arrested. The cost
of q fruit-house is not great, and the
profits made from it will soon repay
the cost of construction. The old
method of keeping the fruits in the
basement is generally productive of
disease, for the escaping gases from
the fruits invariably generate germs
ofpoison that must be breathed in by
the occupants of the home. Wheth-
err raising fruit simply for the home
use or for the markets, small fruit
house is desirable

BRAVE DEED OF A GIRL.

How q Sixteen-Ycar-OId Miss Dragged q
PANTHER to Death.
A most remarkable story Of frontier
bravery, the heroine being Miss Pauline
Collier, q young lady sixteen years of
age, COMES from Childress, a new town
in the Panhandle country, this State,
says letter from San Antonio, Tex.
Miss Collier is pupil in the Childress
district school, and although she lives
ten miles from that town she makes
the trip back and forth each day on a
spirited Texan pony. One morning last
week she left home Mt ain early hour
and was riding lcisurely along when
she espied an enormous panther imme-
diately in front of her, crouched in the
short prairie grass, ready for fatal
spring With admirable presence of
mind Miss Collier seized the lariat
hanging at her saddle-bow, and with
great dexterity the animals neck was
encircled with the deadly coil. At
word from it's mistress the pony which
Miss Collier was riding sprang away ut
gallop, dragging the savage but help
less monster to it's death. Upon be-
coming satisfied that the animals life
was extinct the young lady undid the
rope from the pommcl of her saddle,
leaving the panther stretched upon the
prairie behind her. Proceeding on her
way to school she met John Perry in
company with several cowboys and re-
lated the story. They went TO the spot
where the dead panther lay and pro-
cecded to denude it. of it's hide. which
will be made into robe and presented
to the young lady. The panther
weighed two hnn'lrnd md ten pounds.

A LIVING COFFIN.
An Incident That Marred the First Voyage
Of IN Old Sailor Man.


Of IN Old Sailor Man.
"L made my first voyage in $780,"
said the mate of the Argenta at st.

the New York Sun reports the story.

Glasgow with deals and rough spars. 1
was almost. a--man~ grown and had
served a year in sail loft, so that
could splice and cut and sew sails, but
1 shipped as ordinary seaman at ten
shillings a month less than the other
seamen. The second night out it came
ON to blow and we were 'rousted out to
take in sail. Before the wind was
passed L was in my bunk in the fore
castfe-as house. on deck, like the Ar
genta's-sitting there, and on the other
side was another man sitting there
looking at me very hard. All at once
he points his finger at me and says:

boy, you know, but he took me all
aback, unexpected like, just rs when
the 'customs-house officer yesterday
asked me where Greenland was.
"Well, there he sat, staring at me
very sober, and pretty soon he points
his finger at me again and says, solemn
like:
"'You murdered me wife,
YOU'RE bloomin' har,' I says,
again. Il never saw your wife
with that he. begins telling he's
going ashore to see a man he calls by
name that used to live near st. John in
those days, and turns to slowing his
clothes in bag, and we could see he
was in. the deliriums. He worked in a
terrible hurry, singing out to a man he
said was outside in dory waiting for
him to hold fast a minute and he'd
. make haste, and just. then comes the
| mate and bawls. for all hands to reef top
sails, as was saying to you. =.
'"Fhatwas my first night aloft, you
know, and 1 never thought no more
about his saying I'd murdered his wife

\ ing two reefs in the topsails. Then 1
saw he was gone.
! 'NeItm6 6rning' the second mate calls
to me when came on deck.
"'Do you want to see the coffin of the
man what said you murdered his wife?'
says he.
I "'Ycs, sir,' says I.
"'Gome aft here and look over the
rail, then, says he. So I went and
looked, and there was shark about as

alike. They are not.
Let the years Of uninter-

The Latest Freak of McKinleyism.

The copyright law, which was passed
by congress just before adjournment,
contains one provision more extreme in
the line of protection than anything in
the wild measure known as the McKin-
ley tariff law.
In the tariff law only two things are
absolutely prohibited from coming into
the country. These are obscene books
and pictures and drugs or instruments
for producing abortion.
The prohibition of these is, of course,
proper enough; but now the copyright
law adds another to the list Of prohibit.
ed articles What is this which, of all
things in the world, is selected to 90 in
the same class with obscene books and
pictures and drugs and Instruments for
producing abortion?
English books! In granting the En-.
glish author the benefit of copyright in
the United States the McKinleyites
compel him to have his book printed in
the United States from types set in the
United States or from plates made in
the United States from types set in the
United States! The only exception to
this Chinese rule is that any person may
import one or two copies of an English
book for his own use. All copyrighted
English books less than twenty years
old are absolutely prohibited from i'm.
portation for purposes of sale, They
stand with things obscene and immoral.
This wild freak Of the McKinleyites
was opposed by so sturdy u protection
list as Senator John Sherman. Ills
amendment allowing the importation Of
copyrighted books upon payment of the
Mckinley duty Of twenty-eightper cent.
was passed by the senate but was re.
jected by the rabid McKinlcyitcs Of the
House, and Senator Sherman for this
reason voted against the bill.

implements, copyrighted English books
