The Apple in Legend and Fable.

There are few myths which play so conspic-
nous role in fable and story as the apple,
says the Literary Digest. 1t shone golden in
the garden of the Herperides. Aphrodite,
like Eve, held it IN lier hand. and the serpent
and the dragon mounted guard over it. S,,o-
mon sung its praises and in Arab story it ia
the fruit of healing. o Esseus yearned for it
in the garden of Alknoos, and Tantalus
stroye vainly to reach it in H.de and the
Edda tells us that IdurSa, the goddess of Vir-
tue, treasured apples, the gifts of the gods, OF
such wondrous virtue that, as age approached,
she had only to taste them to renew her youth.
Thus she secured perpetual youth, until Ray
norohs proclaimed universal anIhilaton. In
many northern story, the golden .,ird seeks
the golden apple in the Kings garden, and
when the tree is reached and found bare OF
fruit, does not Frau Bertha tell her love that
it was because of a mouse that gn4wed at the
roos. In the mythology of the North, the
apple is oft-tm's the temper, and occasional
ly makes the hose grow SO prodigionsly that
nothing bu. pear will suffice to bring it once
more into presentable shape.

Kangaroos for America.

IT, is reported that in the W,st and Soulh-
wes, a serious discussion is in progress as to
the advisability of Introducing the kangaroo
in the desert regions there. 1t is argued that
the animal is valuable for its flesh, its fur ana
its skin; that as 1t breeds very rapidly, II
would soon afford big game, which ~ooia
spnply huptsmen with good substitute for
the buffalo in that line, aud that 1t would live
and prospe.' in regions where other animals
would starve to death. Some say that there
would be more money in raising kingaroos
than neat cattle. Robert c Aud, OF Califor-
MIA. is said to be the father of the science.
He said that ostriches have been big success
in that State, and that i'll his opinion kahsa-
roos would pay good deal better.

A Costly Luxury.

Perhaps it is because the taste for luNuIies
is constantly increasing that so many lepple
seem to have Il mani for going To law. The
of The litigants to the population
at large is much greater now tha 1t was ten
wears ago. Grave, sedatc, aud even appar
entity pious, selfdenying members of society
are constantly getting entangled in suits, cross
suits and other legal meshes, tiom which, in
nine cases ont OF len, there is no escape until
the parti, concerned have been thoroughly
piceoned. Anybody can sci the legal ball in
motion; nobody can tell when it will stop.
1t cannot be too strongly impressed upon ill.,

"a good cause, good lawyer, good judge
good witnesses, a good jury, good long

The Electoral Count
W WASHINGTON. d. e.,

Mr.. EDITOR AS sat IN the crowded gal
lery of the House of Representatives to-day
thought Of ''THE ENQUIRER" sending an
account of Electoral count as follows; The
Eouse met at IL a. IN. The usual practice for
the large north gallery of the House to be op-
en- to the general public, while the other gal
leries are divided as follows; on the east for
the ladies, and one for the families of members
and again one for ladies; on the south imme-
dately over the Speakers chair, the Presi
dents gallery and adjoining that to the south
west as so called, Private Gallery, while on
the West, are the Executive, Diploma ic, and
Reserved galleries, entrance to them can only
be obtained by ticket from members.
AT $50 the doors were besieged by immense
crowds and in ten minutes after they were op
ened at lO30,the seats were quickly filled and
in less than ten minutes it was impossible to
obtain standing room in any of the gal
leries. 1t would have been weary waiting for
the remaining half All hour but for the infiax
of eminent men upon the floor Of the House.

Morocco,s Sultan and the Ambassador

Muley Hassan, the Sultan of Morocco,
who is the last independent sovereign
in the Barbary States (of which Tri-
poll is now directly under the Sultan
Of Turkey, is one of the most perfect
specimens of an absolute monarch
existing. He is "the State" His So
called ministers are merely favorites
of the hour. Everything must pass
through his hands.
By the way, Sir Charles Euan-Smith's
mission was one of the greatest troubles
that ever worried the Sultan. Sir
Charles journey last year was to con-
clude treaty with the Sultan. First
Muley Hassan assented, then retracted,
but finally gave in. The clause over
which the Sultan stumbled bad refer.
ence to the wholesale appointment OF
Vice Consuls and the powers assigned
them. Sir Charles Euan-Smith had q
lively interview with Sir Garnet and
critical one with the Sultan. There
was demonstration of Moors before
the house where the English Envoy
was staying.
It may not be uninteresting to note
the way in which the Sultan received:
After the riotous demonstration before
the Mission House, and while Sir
Charles Euan-Smith, accompanied by
the Viziers and an armed escort, was
on his way to the now historic meeting
with the Sultan, there met him at
every hundred yards or so o personal
attendant of the Sultan-'men Of the
bedchamber" they are called-who
came galloping with breathless haste
with haik and burnous and many col
ored caftans floating behind them like
streamers in the wind. They were
mounted on magnificent barb horses
that had been fretted into white foam
by the speed OF which they had been
driven. As these linen of the bed
chamber" came abreast the cavalcade
with one cruel twist Of the inhuman
Moorish bit they brought their barbs
to standstill, and, leaving them quiv-
ering where they stood, with bended
knee kissed His Excellency's feet, or
sometimes but touched with their hands
his feet, and then kissing their hands
thus made happy by touching him, de-
claimed in this wise: tMy Lord, we
pray you to hasten. Our Lord (Seed-
nay beseeches that you come to him.
He will neither eat, nor drink, nor
sleep, nor have sny peace until you
come to him. My Lord, We beseech
you to hasten. Our Lori languishes
for the light of your countenance. 1t
was, indeed, a picturesque sight to see
these horsemen. No fewer than twenty
of them met Sir Charles on his short
ride of one mile to the Palace, and each
one delivered the same beseeching mes
sage. New York Herald.

rSpNe KITCHEN UTENSILS.

Mending the Kitchen utensils, OF,
having them mended, rather. is small
matter when one lives in the city and
can have them sent for and returned
by the tinsmith, who lives on the ave-
nue. just around the corner, but when
one happens to live in village, with the
nearest tinsmith mile away and ID
compelled to carry a mountain OF in-
valid ware to that Mahomet, it is quite
another thing. OF such necessity
the following invention was born =

The agricultural exhibit of the Worlds
Fair, including the stock pavilions, the great
display amphitheater and the main building,
covers total of sixty-nine acres, over twice
the entire acreage Of the huge Manufactures
Building. 1t is at this pole of the Fair, says
the San Francisco Chronicle. that the farm
ing interest Is magnetized, while the artistic
spirit is attracted to the opposite pole, over a
mile to the west. For the most part the ex-
hibits in the main hall ring the changes on
pyramids OF glass jars containing samples Of
grain, vegetables, fruits and other products
of the soil in profusion which can only re-
tain lis interest to the scientific farmer. The
National Department of Agriculture directs
the displays made by the different expert
mental stations at the universities and "cow
colleges" throughout this country, and the
result is one that by itself will repay days
attention on the part Of the scientifically con-
cerned. One Is Impressed with the fact that
till1ng the soil Is no mental child's-play, and
that an education in the treatment OF soil,
the nature OF pests and the processes of
termination Is prime requisite Of success in
an occupation where competition is more
severe than in any other. Indeed, the farm
er's work has joined completely in the race
with all the other pursuits that we're once
almost entirely matters OF muscle and are
now almost wholly matters OF brains and
machinery.
The display OF agricultural implements,
with nickel-plated metal parts and on plat
forms covered with heavy carpets, is but
little suggestive of the soil. The few foreign
exhibitors who ventured into region so
generally acknowledged as our ground of
vantage, have sent their machines substan-

Emir is not properly title, but a
descriptive word. Correctly used, it
is applied only to descendants OF the
prophet, oil of whom are styled Emlr,
Just ns the title honorable is applied
to the people OF certain rank by birth
in England. Emirs are now found
among Turkish end Arab people of
every rank and class in life. Every
one who can prove his descent from
the prophet is entitled to wear green
in some portion OF his costume, the
turbau being usually chosen for this
sign of rank. The claim to the title
is considered far more satisfactory
where traced back through the female
ancestry.

PLENTY OF MEDALS.

A Chicago paper observes that the Worlds
Fair medals are now bein, dealt out by the
cart load. 1t says 1.-The exhibitor who
quits the Fair with less than "a dozen or 50 OF
John Boyd Thacher's brass tokens will not
be in it with tho generality OF people who are
showing goods ut the Fair. Yesterday the
Jurors announced awards in parts OF three
departments - horticulture, transportation
and agriculture. In the horticulture depart
ment there are nearly 600 medas given for
fruits and berries alone. Iowa exhibitors
get Just forty-seven medals for gooseherries
and Iowa is not so much ofa gooseberry
State either. Other States have nearly az
big 1 list, and when it comes to streWber-
ries, cherries, currants, blackberries and
small fruits it is just as bad. Medals are
scattered with prodigal hani. In tho
transportation department the partial list OF
winners announced is included in group
eighty, which runs all the way from railroad
tickets to model OF the new Memphis
bridge. There are many Chicago winners in
this list all the local manufacturers OF cars,
car appliances, gates. switches, frogs, car
wheels and the like be ng remembered. In
the agricultural department awards are an
nounced for preserved meats, sausages, meat
extracts, etc.
