A wild Apple Orchard.

The wilderness of Koolan, in the
Sandwich islands, contains forest of
native wild apple trees, countless in
number. stretching from the sea far
up the mountain Sides The trees vary
from forty to fifty feet in height, and
in the harvest season, from July to
September, are loaded down with fruit,
some white, but mostly rcd. a person
standing in the midst of this orchard
can look around him for miles, up the
mountains and toward the road. an4
the only thing in view will be one vast
grove of apple trees literally red with
ripe and ripening fruit, the branches
OF the trees bending to tho ground
with the bounteous harvest. The crop
OF this extensive apple orchard which
nature planted In the solitary waste
would fill a fleet of ono hundred steam
ers- The orchard stretches over n
country from five TO ten miles wide hy
twenty miles long. and many Of the
larger trees bear at least City barrels
apiece.

Two women. each of whom rides the
ventilation hobby with great genl,
found themselves spending the night in
a small country hotel. put there by q
failure to catch connecting train.
They had scarcely put the light out
when it was realized that the window
had not been opened, and one started to
attend to it. The room was very dark
and the matches were not at hand, but
after some cropping she found the closed
pane.
II can't bulge it." she said. Juggling
to do so.
"Do try" came from the bed; I'VE
shall sunocate before morning"
The next instant there was a crash in
the darkness. I've put my arm
through this wretchcd window" it was
explained; but. ut least. we'll have
air now" So they went contcntcdly to
sleep. In the morning tho window was
found tightly closed, but the glass door
of n big bookcase which stood in a
corner was shattered. This only cx-
cmplifes the old law that "conceis Is as

boy was heard telling his COM
panions the other day about little
speculation he had succeeded in making,
says the Utica Observer. A lady hailed
him and asked him if he knew of any
one who wanted cat He didn't Mt
first recall a family in need of one, but
when she suggested that quarter of n
dollar would be given him if he would
find some nice, pleasant family that
would give the animal n home, he sud
denly rccollcctcd family in q distant
ncighborhood, and put the cat under his
arm and the quarter in his pocket He
started off down the street, and had
walked several blocks looking for Il
barn that offered Inducements for cats,
and finally met u couple of young ladies'
One of them noticed the tabby's sleek
coat, and they stopped the boy and
asked him whose it was. Of course it
was his, and in less than iiffy he
thought moro of that little animal than
he ever did before of cat in his life.
Would he sell it? Well, he didn't care
to, because he wanted to carry it home
to his little sister, but he thought posi-
bly, he could get another one, though
probably he could never find such nice
cat as that. Would he take half n dol
lar for it and carry it homo for her?
Yes, he would cause he wanted the
money to get him some new shoes. So
he got the half-dollar, and the young
lady got the cat safely delivered at her
home. 1t is surmiscd that the boy had
been reading the record of some of the
county officers us brought out before
the Investigating committee.

as he has from year to year developed the
qualities necessary for the fulfillmcnt of
his positions in committees and upon the
floor of the house as worker and

strength. He is not seeking the posi-

ton, | would say that the candidacy of
MIR. Wilson for the speallership of the
house is exactly parallelcd by the can
didacy of Mr.. Blaine for the presidency.
The strength of each of these men lies
in their recognized ability and their
apparent and absolute indifference to
the will or whim of party managers"
Not only are these matters discussed
in the various Offices of the correspond
ents by day and by night; but the pros
and cons are dilated upon and ampli-
fled in the par.ors of the Press club.
The gentlemen are growing interested,
and, am sorry to say, arc occasionally
permitting personal feelings to tenn
porarily mar their good fellowship. A
few of them have gone so far rs to
wager money on the result; some of
them, too, who are unable, financially,
to risk anything in that manner The
friends of Mr.. Crisp and Mr.. McAlillin
are to be found in the lobby of the
Metropolitan hotel while the Mills men
are congrcSating in great numbers at
Wizards. The fact of the existence
of this intense interest on the part of
the ne wspapcr men is especially in
tercsting by reason of the fact that
heretofore they have not been given to
championing the cause of any of the
nspirants for the prize; but have con-
tented themselves with chronicling the

busy people are certain to be disap-
pointed; whereas, in days gone by, they
have smiled contentedly Mt results

folks who are inclined to believe that
newspaper men "lsnow it all" concern
ing public affairs. will be interested in
knowing that there is as much diversity
of opinion among them, AID as intense
interest in the conflict. as obtains among
statesmen and the public generally.
For my own part, it might be stated
that ] have no preference, but believe
that any one of the candidates would
acceptably and honorably fulfill the
duties of the high Office, and dispose Of

a Thief Who Was Fond OF Eggs IL Dis
covered i'll Curious Way.
A theft has just been brought home
to man by means of an egg. Some
days ago, says the Galignani Mcssen-
ger. M. Douet, pottery manufacturer,
living in the Rue Goudon, Paris, was
disagreeably surprised on returning
from the theatcr with his family to find
that his house had been ransaclsed, al
most nll the furniture destroyed, and a
sum of six thousand francs in gold and
notes stolen. The next morning he put
NJ. SiadouS, commissary of police, in
possession of these facts, who thcreup-
on proceeded to the spot and opened an
inquiry. In the course of his search he
found broken egg. from which the
white only appeared to have been
sucked He brought the circumstance
to the notice of NJ. Douet, who then re-
membcred that carter named Dclbars,
whom he had dismissed for dirty habits,
was accustomed to eat eggs in this way.
They arrested him along with his
brother. When questioned as to how
and where they had spent their time on
the night of the robbery they were en-
barrassed, and finally confessed that
they had broken into NJ. Douet's house
for motives of revenge.
