HARVESTING APPLES AND PEARS.

A late writer says that he has lost
hundred barrels of choice apples in the
course Of his experience by not pick
ing them in the right season, often de-
fcrring the work for his corn cutting
or potato digging. There is no doubt
that many orchardists lose a great deal
by not gathering their apples in sea-
son, or else, on the other hand, by
picking them too soon.
Ii the orchard and its crop are valu-
able many kinds of fruit are worth two
seasons of picking. The first half is
when they begin to drop from the tree F.;
but there is another half or more, with
some varieties which adhere firmly and
remain. ii the gathering of these is
deferred about two weeks they will
keep longer and be better in quality.
1t is not diflicalt to select the most
mature first by their color, and they
will readily loosen at the stem, while
the Others strongly adhere.
The well known rule for gathering
pears, when the fruit will readily sepa-
rate from the tree when lifted half way
up, is an excellent rule, but there is
usually less difference in tie time of
ripening than with apples. Pears
which ripm early and in medium sea-
son should always be gathered some
days before ripe.
ChoIco varieties may be packed in
drawers or boxes, and will become
more delicious at maturity than il
ripened in the open mir and on the
tree. This is particularly important
with early pears, and wrapped in fan.

Sometimes the most careful wash

which it was cooked. This is fire.
quently the case with fish, onions,
cabbage, etc, but there is n remedy
which may be little trouble, and yet
is well worth trying.
After any of these articles have
been cooked wash the utensil carefully
with soap and water. Now nearly fill
it with cold water. and for each quart
of water add about tablespoonful of
dissolved washing soda. Place on the
fire and let the water get boiling hot.
Now turn this water into the sink.
Rinse the utensil with clean, warm
water, and, on wiping it dry, it will
be found perfectly sweet.

London's Donkey SHOW.

London has a donkey show every
year. 1t is conducted by very i'm
portant personages for the benefit of
the costermongers. Prizes are given
for all sorts of excellence, but the
highest prizes are awarded TO the don
key showing the best care, the object
of it all being to make the coster kind

great success, the donkeys and donkey
carts looking smart with their roses
and ribbons, and some of the donkeys
showing coats like velvet. There were
sixty-seven entries at the show held
last week. Chicago Herald.

ElcctrIc storms At Sen.

An electric storm at sea is one Of
the alarming experiences TO which a
mariner is exposed. but as a matter Of
record il is one that is less fruitful in
disastrous results. As rule, few pre-
cautions are taken TO guard against a
stroke of lightning, especially in the
merchant service. Ships of war are
usually fitted with lightning conduc-
tors, precaution made necessary by
the explosives stored away in their
magazines. But these safeguards are
seldom seen on merchant vessel, and
Judging by the extreme rarity of the
cases where they have been struck,
Jacks claim that he is safer ON the
ocean than on shore during an cleo
trical disturbance must be admitted. -

Boston is said to have made the first
American umbrella.


This phrase, used by the Colchester Rubber
Go. TO emphasize the popularity and desirable
ity of their 81 aiding Boots, is singularly appro-
pirate at this time, as indicating that the Far
mer is "on top" The recent panic has not
materially affected the Farmer. Crops are
fairly good. Europe wants our produce and
has the money top pay for it. Hence, the Far
mer is all right, for the country is rich. The
Colchester spadng Boot is outselling all other
kinds of Rubber Boots; hence, Spades are
Trumps in double sense.

Mark the wide ruin spread
Where cities stand where country lies,

Before the loathsome pest.

Whose lips were touched with fire,
Whose draught ofsorrow touched the brlm,
Whose love can never tire.

By Mary watching there,

TO KrEr rnE corn OUT.

There is no more prevalent beliefamong the
masses of the people than that alcohol is good
to keep the cold out. That idea has held the
ground despite important testimonies to the
contrary. But It must be greatly discredited
by the determination Of that celebrated ex-
plorer, DIR. Nansen, who started on his voyage
TO the Arctic regions on June cath, not to
take with him any alcohol whatever in his
hazardous undertaking except some spirits
for fuel purposes. What used TO be consid-

KEEPING MILK FRESH.

1t is rather singular that in this in
ventive age one of our most crying
needs has been hitherto overlooked.
But at length device has been in
vented to keep milk fresh. This device
consists of sort of closed vessel with
an opening at the top to which glass
tube, closed at the upper end, is fast
ened, the joining being rendered air
tight by means of an India-rubber
ring. The tube is marked with two
horizontal lines numbered respectively
seventy y-five degrees and eighty degrees
centigrade. The vessel is filled with
milk mp to the edge of the neck, which
is then closed with the glass tube, and
is now placed on sand mattress, or
balm marie, over the fire. The milk
rises so seventy-fve degrees, aud soon
afterwards to eighty degrees, and may
be removed from the fire after remain
ing at the above temperature from ten
TO twenty minutes, and cooled by plac-
ing the vessel in water of the tempera-
ture of from ten to twenty degrees.
Milk thus treated will keep fresh from
three TO four days. New York World.

bunal should decline to assume this duty
it would only leave for posterity a new

present standing army. The 90 new bat
teries of field artillery shall have four in
stead of six guns each. By the conces-
sions thus indicated the expenditures con-
templated by the Army bill will be reduced
by some 1900, 0e0 marks.
Caprivis supposed ultimatum some three
weeks ago called for the addition at once
Of so, 900 men to the peace effective; while
now abating this demand partially he OBJ
tains as an eventuality more than he was
believed to have the slightest chance of OBJ
tanning. Just what the result Of the ar
rangement between him and Freiherr Won
Huene will be is still in doubt.
Emperor William has telegraphed his
approval of the compromise and 1t will no
doubt have some influence for the bill.
The telegram will be laid on the table In
the Reichstag to-day.
The Clerical members in the Reichstag
held a meeting last night to decide upon
their attitude toward Freiherr Won Huene's
arrangement with the Chancellor. It Is
reported that the Conservatives, Imperial
lists, many National Liberals, 90 Radicals,
the 10 Poles and several Independents will
vote for the amended bill. II Freiherr Won
Huene can carry with him a fairly large
number of Clericals the compromise will
get majority.
The Radicals are in hot domestic quar-
rel over the bill and the proposed changes.
They held a caucus, which, from beginning
to end, was exceedingly stormy. Eugen
Richter spoke vehemently against the bill,
either as it is or as it will be under the
Caprivi-Huene arrangement, and advised
united opposition to the government. He
drew up an amendment which practically
negatives the whole bill, but secured the
signatures to it of only Al OF the ~ Radical
deputies.
among the 26 who did not sign are, at
all events, the score of votes already
counted for the government, and perhaps
two or three more.
The general wavering in the ranks OF
the opposition is highly favorable to the
government as it will cause many mem
bers, who were counted as allies by the
opposition, to abstain from voting.
A most popular feature of the compro'
mise is that the reduction of the money
demand by 1000, 900 marks will allow Of
the abandonment of the proposed excise
duties on beer and spirits. If necessary,
the whole question of ways and means
would be postponed until the next session
of the Reichstag and the expenditure o.
the first six months be betrayed through
additional matricular contributions from
| the federal states. 9"
