Japan's Historic Tree.

Garden and Forest has a description
of the great pine of Japan, called Dai
Matsu, which stands on the shore Of
Lake Biroa, some three miles from Otsu.
The tree is attended by priests, who de-
clare that 1t is mentioned in the records
of their cloister 800 years ago, and that
it was planted in the year A. D. 675.
It is counted among the eight wonders
OF Japan, and its singular aspect, as it
stretches its long branches out on every
side over scaffolding formed by more
than 800 poles, has been pictured in
many books of travel. Although it is
fully exposed to the wind, and although
its trunks and branches bear more than
one lightning scar, it is still vigorous,
and only gradual thinning out OF its
foliage bears witness to its great antiq.
uity. At two feet above the ground
the diameter of the trunk is fifteen feet
nine inches; its height is eighty-four
feet, and the diameter of its widely
stretched crown is 242 feet, -Four
houses formerly stood among its
branches, but two of them were ruined
in great storm few years ago. The
other two are still largely resorted to by
supper parties on summer evenings, and
the japanese take especial delight in
listening to the dripping of rain into the
water fr ON the bougbs as they overhang
the sea.

EsUuimaux For the Worlds Fair.

A party of ffty-seven black-haired and
dark skinned Esquimaux, who will dc
pict lie in the polar region at the Worlds
Fair grounds have arrived IN Chicago.
The northern natives were brought to
that city by the Arctic Worlds Fair
American Exposition Company, which
will build the Esquimaux village at the
Worlds Fair grounds. They come from
sll walks of Esquimaux life, two of the
families belonging to the eldest and
noblest households, while two of them
came from region so remove that it has
never yet been reached by the Moravian
missionaries.
In the party are sixteen men, twenty
three women, twelve IF whom are wives
of men, and thirteen children.
All ages are represented in the band.
One man is sixty years old, which, &C
cording to Robert Ford, is almost the
limit of an Esquimau's life. The youngest
is eight months old, and it cries and
looks wonderingly at everything just like
other babies.
Robert Ford, the interpreter, bears
the distinction of being one OF the few
white men who live in upper Labrador.
He is accompanied by his wife and two
children. He is a sort of leader among
the natives, and his word is law with
each of the band. Each one was dressed
in unplucked sealskins. Several of them
can talk very good English, having
learned the language at the missions.
John Lucy is one of these, and, while h.
was surprised at what he saw en- rout'
tc Chicago, he says that he thinks "tn
United States is fine place, and nice
to live in than Labrador" The thirree
children in the band are bright all
lively, with swapping black eyes an
black hair. They are making the mo:
of their long journey.
OF the other families that OF Cooper
and Kangigatchook are probably the
most interesting, as they are heather.
They eat raw meat and plainly showed
that they were less used to restraint than
the rest of the band. Cooper is
accompanied by his wife and three
children, while Kaugigatchook brings
his wife and two children.

Harvesting Apples vn the Canadian
Border.

The harvest season for apples begins
late in summer in many places, but along
the Canadian border September is early
enough, and most owners wait even later.
The apples here, says letter from Fan
nington, Me-, to the New York. Post,
are naturally winter apples, and they are
picked to supply the late markets. Ap-
pie. pickers arm themselves with stout
muslin bag, which they sling over their
shoulders, and light wooden ladder.
Every apple must be picked carefully
from the tree, breaking it of so that the
stem is left on. All bruised anc
"thorned" apples are rejected as unit
for packing. A dozen pickers go into
one orchard, and soon bring the red and
golden fruit to the wagons in quantities.
When they are picked, the owner begins
the work of sorting them, for so much
depends upon this part of the job that it
is not safe to trust it to any one else.
There are several grades into which the
fruit must be devided. The first in.
cludes all of the large, well-ripened, and
handsome ones, without a flaw Of any
kind visible, and these are packed in
rows in the barrel as carefully as so many
eggs. Often these fancy apples COM
mand double the price of the other
grades, and the neater they are packed
the better will they sell. The next grade
is only little inferior to the first, but
smaller fruit is packed with it, and few
that have slight creases on the skins,
and all of those with less color. Color
counts in all fancy fruit. the purchasers
will often take apples with highly COL
ored appearance, even though it is gen.
orally known that they are inferior to
the green ones. The third grade con-
sists of all the apples that will not 90
into the two higher grades and yet are
too good to convert into cider or to feed
to the animals. The apples IN this in.
stance are tumbled into the barrels with
out much assortment, and the owner is
satisfied if he can get in return fifty cents
profit per barrel for them.
The "culls" and bruised apples from
the heap are either dried, fed to animals,
kept for home consumption, or con-
verted into cider. Cider in modern
times has partly fallen under tie ban OF
temperance reformers; but there are
enough cider-lovers left yet to make the
drink profitable one for he manufac-
turers.-New York Post.
