Fruit Notes.


There is demand for more early ap-
pies.
One good rule for growing strawber-
ries among grapes is to set the vines and
berries together and give both a good
manuring. Pick the berries as long as
they are profitable and then pillow them
in. The life of the berries is not long
enough to injure the vines.
On the grounds Of the Ohio expert
nent station the most trustworthy of
the old varieties Of strawberries are Hav-
erland, Crescent, Buhach and Warfeld.
The Eureka, also called Mohler, is a
promising blackcap raspberry.
The Elrado is counted among the
promising new blackberries.
The experienced fr11itgrower in select
ing strawberry plants from his old beds
to start new ones, is careful to know his
varieties and keep up the proportion of
staminate and pistillate kinds.
The winebe1ry is highly praised by
some as delicious berry, while Others
regard it as more ornamental than use-
full. That grown at the Cornell station
had little, either in size, appearance or
quality, to recommend it.
The Parker Earle strawberry succeeds
wall in most localities.

out IN this, L regret to say, was not sue
cessful.
'sAt the appointed time thousands of peo-
pile clad in holiday attire and hundreds of
men beating cymbals and drums gathered
in an open field.
in the center of this field a stage was
erected with a tented frame over it, and
from the corners were suspended strips of
scarlet Grape. These four strips were
brought together to the center of the stage
and fastened about her neck by the mother
and sisters of the man to whom she had
been betrothed.
Next she embraced q little boy who had
been handed up by one of the bystanders
Then she waved her left hand to the sea of
upturned faces and mounted a little plat
form in the center of the stage.
IA long, keen dagger was held above her
head in her right hand. 1t flashed in the
sunlight for an instant, and the next it was
plunged into her breast, and she reeled oven
dead.
1T should be borne in mind that this
woman was not bounded on by a fanatical
mob, as was formerly the case where in In
dia women were compelled to be burned to
death on the funeral pyre that cremated
their husbands. Her immolation was en-
tirely voluntary sacrifice.

tious. In the country they go from
house to house, holding meetings where
ever they can gain admission. In the
cities they generally hire an obscure
hall, and their preaching has got to be
alarningly effective before much notice
is taken of it by the public at large.
They all teach doctrines that they claim
were revealed to Joseph Smith, but are
divided on the question of polygamy.
Those from Salt Lake try to per-
suade their converts to go to Utah,
while the antipolygamists generally con-
tent themselves with trying to establish
churches in the neighborhood where they
preach.
A band of IA Salt Lake APOSTLES"
has been laboring in Hanover county,
Va, for the past two years. They be-
gan operations in Louisa county. but
were driven away by the miners there,
after which they went to Spottsylvania
county and thence to Hanover. Most of
them are young men and unmarried,
but some Of them are upward of so
years old. They admit their belief in
polygamy, but claim that they do not
preach or practice it because of its ille-
gality.

vout believer in the Book Of Mormon
and a devoted worker in his peculiar
ministry. The society publishes three
papers, weekly called The Saints Her

and Sunday school paper called Zion's

Elder Potts claims that the s'Reorgan-

Smith and has churches in Philadelphia,

followers arch impostors and base here
tics and winds up his opinion of them in
these words:
'sThese wolves in sleeps clothing,
these defiled vagabonds, knaves and

mankind, corrupted themselves and pol
luted all who fell into their lecherous
embrace and heaped odium and sorrow
upon the true church"

Coming a Joke.

There is usually a good origin for every
figure of speech, though it is often difficult
to trace it out.
We often hear the phrase ''coining lie, !"
term used by the famous Judge Coke in
describing counterfeit money.
1t was only recently that | came upon the
origin Of the figure coming joke" and
this is it as nearly as 1 can recall it. may
add that the incident recorded is entirely
accurate and historical: M
In the year 1879, the Danes more bent on
extending their kingdom, and better able to
do it than they are at present, advanced in
large force upon the city of Hamburg, led
their king.
After siege of six months duration, see
ing no hope of success, the Danes withdrew.
Immediately after this the delighted
Hamburgers caused medal to be struck
in commemoration of the event.
On one side of this numjsmatic curiosity
was this inscription:
''The King of Denmark came before
Hamburg. What he gained will be seen
on the other side"
The other side was blank.
The medals caused much laughter, were
very popular, and in this event originated
the phrase coming joke"

The Maine NOn-FOrfeiture Law.

There can be no reasonable doubt, but
that one of the chief contributing factors
in the Union Mutuars acquisition of
New Business is the fact that the Bene-
fits of the Maine Non-Forfeiture Law
are daily becoming better understood by
intending insurers-and with this clearer
understanding they naturally secure
Policies containing its benefits, it being
equally we'll understood that the Union
Mutual Life Insurance Company, of
Portland, Maine. is the only cOmpa-
my issuing Policies under this law
During the twenty-six weeks constitut-
ing the first half of 1898, no fewer than
thirteen notices OF Deaths were re-
ceived in which the respective Policy-hol-
dershad through some cause or causes al
lowed their Policies to lapse, and upon
their part, their insurance was continued
by the beneficent operation of the Maine
Non-Forfeiture Law. These Policies ag

Never Got over It.

There is an old Spanish proverb that says,
"Give dog "a bad name and then hang
him."
Reputation is the worlds opinion OF
man, character is what he is, and very often
the reputation is good and the character
bad, and vice versa.
This is illustrated by case that came to
my knowledge in Washington just after
the war
Jessie Somers was something of a belle
in the Capital City, and being comedy and
with good manners she might have mar
ried any one of a hundred officers during
the war, though it should be said that she
was far from being rich.
In the summer of 1865 Miss Somers
seemed to have met her fate, for she was
engaged to a fine young fellow, chief of a
bureau of the treasury department
Trueman Fletcher-that was the favored
gentleman's name-was anxious to marry
at once, for he was in receipt of good in.
come, but the lady was by no means SO
eager.
Those who knew her best limited that she
intended to throw Fletcher over if better
opportunity offered, and there certainly was
good reason for this suspicion.
Mr.. Mcdonald, an older man than Fletch.
er and, a we'll to do bank cashier, began
visiting Miss Somers, and Fletcher seeing
them out driving naturally became jealous
and asked for an explanation. A quarrel
followed. Still the young man, who was
much smitten, persisted in his visits, and
Miss Somers, anxious to keep the knowl-
edge from Mcdonald, arranged that their
visits should be clandestine.
1t was afterward claimed that her pur-
pose was, to get from Fletcher certain let
tiers which she did not want the more IA
vored man to know of if more open rup-
ture came.
