The Value of Apples.

IUItTU I1THUE.
Do you happen to know that apples are q
splendid nerve tonicT German analysts
say that the apple contains q larger percent
age of phosphorus than any other fruit OK
vegetable. The phosphorus is admirably
adapted for renewing the essential nerv-
Gus matter. leeithin of the brain and spi-
nal cord. 1t is perhaps for the same reason,
rudeiy understood. that old Scandinavian
traditions represent the apple as the food
OF the gods. who, when they felt them
selves To be growing feeble and intirm. re-
sorted TO this fruit for renewing their pow
ers of mind and body. Also. the acids of
the apple are of signal use for men of sed.
entary habits whose livers are sluggish In

from the body noxious matter which, il re-
tanned. would make the brain heavy and
dull or bring about jaund ice OF skin crup-

LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.

Trade Opens Brisk Under the Favorable
Weather CoDditions-Price Firm.
In most departments there was q good
deal of activity In trade for the first bust
ness day of the year. which begins under
very favorable auspiceo for trade generally.
1t Ia stated that there is more money in In
diana in the hands of the medium classes
than IN any former January. so prosperous
was business In all lines last year. Prices
carry a steady and strong tone also. which
argues we'll for the future. Staple groceries
ere moving we'll. Dry-goods houses are do
ing a good business, and the commission
houses as well. Provisions. poultry, eggs.
fruits and vegetables show no signs of q
decline In price. and there are no indica-
tions of demoralized markets aside from
grain.

Sowing Clover Too Late.

COImHn 4 HufaI WOIM.
We doubt whether clover-seed sown after
the first OF January Is ever sown too early.
No matter how long the ground may re-
main frozen there are no insects or birds TO
destroy the seed. and the probabilities are
that melting SHOWS and spring rains will
cover IL just enough 10 secure Its speedy
roofing after termination. Clover-seed
may easily be sown too late. 1t lies on the
surface, and when il terminates. unless
heavy rains come to wash earth around its
roots, the plant perishes. If nm attempt Is
made TO cover IL by dragging. However
lightly. the seed will he covered TOO deeply

cover IL as IL should ~ - grow - ~ ought,

Patchwork "A New Game.

ClnraJ. Denton. in 1Iarper's Young People.
Have ready before beginning to play
some slips of paper one and one-half lnche
long by five or Blk inches WIDE. The num-
Der prepared must depend, OF course, on the
number of players.
When all are ready to begin. each one of
the company is provided with q slip Of
pa per. They are then told to write upon
each slip a sentence describing IN action.
The sentences. however, must be without
grammatical subjects.
To make this plain l will give O few spec.
linen sentences:
- climbed up the side of the house with
o ladder.
sat down IN the middle of the road
n sang a song.
- went to bed with shoes and stockings
- wore q bright red dress and o yellow
= could not eat because his teeth were
ali gone.
When the players have written the re.
quired sentences. they are told TO fold each
paper carefully so that the sentence will be
on the inside. 1t Is better to fold it twice.
The slips are then collected in a box.
basket. or hat. and shaken up thoroughly.
The receptacle is then passed around.
and each player takes out a slip. Without
unfolding 1t. he writes on the outside O
noun, accompanying 1t with "a" an" or
the" as he sees tit. Proper names may
not be used.
After this second writing. the slips are
again collected, thoroughly mixed as be-
fore. and again passed around.
AS each player draws u slip, he looks at
the noun that has fallen TO his share, then
uDfOids the paper, and connects the two
parts Of the sentence either mentally or by
writing the noun and It's article in the
proper place.
When all are ready each player in his
turn reads tho completed sentence.
The result OF this patchwork Will often
be exceedingly funny.

to be suppressed by the ordinary
course of judicial proceedings, or by

both branches being in full accord
with the administration in respect TO
the policy To be pursued toward the
seeding states.
An extra session of the Forthwith
congress was called bv Presiden: Hayes
and convened on the 18th day of
October, 1877. This session was called
on account of the failure of the Forty
fourth congress to make the usual APP
preparations for the army for the ensu-
ing fiscal year, the differences between
the two houses being the House provi-
sion in the fifth section of the bill,
which imposed restrictions upon the
President in regard to the use of troops
in Louisiana and South Carolina, for
the purpose of installing and maintain-
ing the Packard and Chamberlain gov
ernments in said states. Besides pass
ing the army bill without the above
restrictionD and deficiency bill. moth

sion terminating on the 3rd Of Decem-
Der. 1877.

not be circulated, and they remain in
the treasury vaults dead weight on
the government. Thus the govern
ment is compelled to spend an en- Dr-
mods SUN each IN Onth for silver, and
yet the people of the country receive
no added circulation. The opponents
OF silver charge up the bad condition
Of the banks and of business to the
existing sherman at. They claim that
if the act is repealed there will be no
further hazard to business 1t Is not
certain, however, that Mr. Cleveland
will be able to secure majority in
both the House and the Senate for The
repeal of this Sherm IN act. The free
silver men are numerous in both
branches, and they even claim
majority. They are, of course, opposed
t. any stoppage in tl,r purchase of sill
yer. They want the government TO
purchase not only $500, 900 ounces per
month, but all the silver mined in this
co lntrv. The clash between the silver
and the anti-silver men will be very
bitter. Mr.. Cleveland will be arrayed
with the latter, and ii will be an inter-
csting spectacle to see whether the ad-
ministration will be able to enforce its
policy on this vital question and secure
the repeal Of the Sherman t, with it,
consequent restoration of ease and
security throughout business circles.
After the SILVER question has been
disposed of, the extra session may con-
tinue at work until the first Monday
in December, when the regular session
begins, or may adjourn as soon as sill
yer and financial matters are decided
IL before that time. Whatever the
move, the legislation which follows,
whether In extra or regular session,
will be upon several important
matters. First will doubtless be the
tariff question, which has never been
so difficult of solution as at present.

The chairman Of the committee of
.oinage, weights and measures, by
virtue OF his position will be the leader
of the administration policy on the

weak point Is as a pIrliament1rian. 1t
is possible that this objection will be
waived, and Mr.. Cochran called to the
craftsmanship of the committee. Still
there are many others who are equally

government buvs 100000 ounces of
silver each month and coins IL into sill
