MoREsABoUr sxEDLKss APPLES. A. II.
Jewett, OF White Salmon, writing to The
palles Chronicle says: II have had for
the past eighteen years stock Of what is
known as the seedless apple. This apple
originated in Virginia, and the old parent
tree was living and healthy about fifteen
years ago and was then rs years old. The
scion Of this tree was brought to Wiscon-
sin by an officer OF the Union army about
the year 1864 and presented to Mr.. Chas
Waters, who was at that tune nursery
man in the latter state, and by him this
variety was propagated and disseminated
through the western country. Ihave in
bearing on my place some twenty trees
that are fifteen years old. The trees are
very healthy, moderately productive, an
nual bearer, fruit medium size, color dull
russell red, flesh firm and very solid, hav-
ing no core or seed, quality only second
rate, a long keeper, having kept them
under ordinary conditions nearly year.
Whether the apple which has recently
been discovered at Columbus, Wash, is
identical or not am not prepared to say,
having never seen the fruit OF the latter"
A CAUTIOUS MAIDEN.--There is q
Washington young woman, who, while
not conspicuous beauty, is by no means
a. homely as she affects to believe. A
young man has been deyoting much Of
his time to her, and she has given him
reason to think that his society pleased
her. The other evening he said:
DO you believe that you could learn to
care for anybody we'll enough to marry
him 2"
She caught her breath and then
answered in low tone:
Eyes; I am sure / could"
Have you--have you anybody in your
mind now for whom you think you could
care IN this way7"
ssYes.n
Tell me: am that person."
She opened her lips to speak, and then
closed them without speaking. She
looked at him narrowly for moment,
and then said:
"First answer me one question"

INDEPENDENT IRRIGAroR. Did IL ever
strike You how complacently the man
who has small farm irrigated looks out
from under his own vine and fig tree on
financial panics? If there 10 a man in
The world who can live without money
II 10 the man with G small tract Of land
on which he can turn the water at will.
II there Is man ixed to get hold Of
money when money is scarce it is the
man with small tract Of land irrigated.
He can live ON what he produces, and he
has 50 many little things to sell that he
can get money If anyone can. In fact be
ID nearer independent than ,any man on
top Of the earth. 1t in impossible to put
q man in Q corner who has twenty acres
Of good land on which he can turn the
water at win and who Is out OF debt; and
man 80 sustained can get out Of debt
very quickly. He is at least the last man
asked to square up.--Colusa Sun.

soil, with all his wit, gets let down bard
once in while. In combating the green
back theory once, he said: '1f you were
to make the picture of q COW and label it
this is cow would that make COW ?''
He then clinched bis argument by hold
ing up greenback and saying triumph
antly, "this is picture OF a dollar. Does
that make 1t g dollar?" An old hayseed
present replied: ''Ii the picture Of COW
produces as much milk and butter as a
real COW and costs nothing to feed it,
isn't il better than cowf"
