m rne nan1les created the most intense excitement, especially when the object of my visit was made known. I re- mained there for three days, and every evening the cottage was filled with men and women who came to see the Yam kee gintleman' that was looking for the relatives of John L.. Sullivan. Strong limbed, sturdy young men sat upon suggaun chairs and bodies of trees and listened to the tales of your prowess. John Owen O'Sullivan was deeply inter ested in my talk. He interrupted me frequently by makingusuch remarks as: tArrah, man, but I'd like to see himl And of his own flesh and bloodl Dye think will he ever fight the nagur9'
 ''No, I never will, :" interrupted John L., who was deeply interested in the story of the admiration of his kin i'm Ireland for him. "But how did John Owen explain his relationship to me?''
 ''He said," continued the stranger, ''that many years ago, probably fifty, three O'Sullivans-Michael John and Lawrence-built the house we were sit ting in. Then came the famine of is4a, and Michael and John went to America, leaving Lawrence to work the place. He was positive that you were the son of Michael or John, he didn't know which, and then he arrived at the con. clusion that you were his cousin, which would make his children your second cousins. Was he right in his conclu- sions?"
 "Well, don't know anything about , my relatives in Ireland," replied John L. "My fathers name was Michael, and it is possible that John Owen is my cousin. Anyhow, am willing he should be. But how about the eighteen-year old girl?''
 ''She was the eldest daughter of John Owen, a stout, healthy lass, with g beautiful complexion and bright blue eyes. She baked the lovely bread owe, the turf fire, and regarded you in the same light as we regard Samson"
 This delicate fattery made John L.
 laugh and blush like a big schoolboy. 'She wore no shoes, even in winter it was February when I visited them and when asked her why she went
 barefoot she blushed and replied thai she did not have the money to buy shoes. And when I was coming away

The following advantages are given by
a successful orchardist of thinning the
apples on heavy bearing trees whjI- the
fruit is small: ~ You get rid of the knot
ty and wormy apples before they have
grown long enough to occupy the places
of better ones. C2) You thus destroy, be-
fore they can increase, the insects in such
as are stung by the curculio and infested
by the codling worm. (3) The best ones
being left, they have plenty of room to
grow into large fine, salable specimens.
a. You are not obliged to gather twice
as many small ones, the labor of picking
depending on number and not on size.
(5) The bad ones are removed in time at
less than half the labor required for hand
picking when they become large. t6)
You avoid much labor in asserting the
gathered crop and in separating the
scabby and knurly from the best fruit.
"a The moderate crop which is allowed
to grow will exhaust the trees less than
the heavy crop of poor and seedy speci-
mems. He thinks that to allow all the
poor and worthless apples to grow is
like the practice of the farmer who
would permit all coarse weeds to grow
in his corn, to be assorted from his grain
after harvesting Country Gentleman.

Emin an Adventurer.

A pamphlet has been published In Con-
stantinople, in which Turkish writer.
Ebbuzia TewfikBey, declares that Emin
Pasha is nothing but a vulgar ad-
venturer. DR.. Schnitzler that was
Emin's name before his conversion to
the Mohammedan religion - vas the
guest in 1859 of Ismail Pasha, governor
of Erzeroum. When the latter was sent
to Scutari Or. Schnitzler accompanied
him to his new residence, and also later
to Trebizond and Constantinople, where
Ishmail Pasha died in 1878. The doctor
then embraced Islamism, married the
wife of his benefactor, Emine Hauum,
and took the name of Emin.
After staying some time longer in
Constantinople Emin went to Stettin, ia
Germany, taking with him his wife and
her four children By her former hus-
band One day Emin went to Neisse to
attend a relatives wedding, and since
then he has sent no tidings of himself to
his wife, who was left with her children
in extreme poverty. More than this he
carried away with him his wife's Jewels,
worth more than $50. 900. These he sold
to get money with which to go to Egypt,

A native of India was sitting in his
garden when load chattering an
nounced the arrival of large party of
monkeys, which forthwith proceeded to
make meal off his fruits. Fearing the
loss of his entire crop. he fetched his
fowling piece, and, to brighten them
away, fired it off, as he thought, over
the heads of the chattering crew. They
all fed away but, he noticed, left behind
upon bough, what looked like one
fallen asleep, with its head resting upon
its arms.
As it did not move, he sent servant
up the tree, who found that it was dead,
having been shot through the heart.
He had it fetched down and buried be-
meath the tree, and on the morrow he
saw sitting upon the little mound the
mate of the dead monkey. 1t remained
there for several days bewailing its loss.

The Romans were not acquainted
with the use of regular soap. but they
employed an alkali, with which the
greasy dirt was dissolved out of their
clothes. This alllali, called nitrum, is
referred to by Pliny. but the cheapest
solvent was urine. which was mostly
used. The clothes were put in this,
mixed with water and then stamped
upon with the feet. This process was
performed by old people, while boys
lifted the clothes out of the tubs. The
white garments, after being washed,
were subjected to the vapor of sulphur,
being stretched on frame and the sui
phur burned beneath. Poor people in
Rome cleansed their bodies with meal
of lupins. called lomentum. which, with
common meal, is still used in some
places for that purpose. acknowledge.
