having to take time to move oftener than was absolutely necessary. If he could tell almost instinctively what apples were marketable and what were not, so as to leave the latter to be shaken off for cider making later, he was just so much more valuable to his employer, for the time of the packer was valuable, and the fewer apples he had to throwout in put ting them into the barrel the more he could put up in a day.
 None but the most Skillful was in- trusted with this work of packing. Usu- ally the farmer himself attended to this, for if his fruit were this year found to contain wormy or bruised apples next year the prices he could command would be below the highest figures. Each grower had to stencil his barrels with his name, and complaints made in the cities by the consumers would surely re act on the packer along a chain of which the retail grocer, the commission mer- chant and the country apple buyer were the links.
 Before I was big enough to earn money at the end of a ladder myself used to watch Farmer Judson by the hour at his work of slowing the clean, sweet smelling fruit away in the equally clean, sweet smelling barrels. And cided that l might be iItrusted with a three peck handbasket and double iron hook with which to hang it on the lad

The Mole ACain

Minister Fred Douglass had no success at all in his effort to secure from the Haytian government the concession of Mole St. Nicholas for coaling station for United States naval vessels. It is to be hoped that the effort which will be renewed through Minister and Consul General Henry NJ. Smythe will result better. The promontory Mole St. Nich- olas, resting as it does on the northwest lip of HaNti, commands thesWindward Passage between Cuba and Hayti against approach in all directions by water.
 The Windward Passage is one of the main entrances from Europe and the north to the Caribbean sea and the gulf of Mexico. A few miles across from the Mole lies fair Cuba. the pearl of the An titles, the most ardent hope of some of the intelligent and patriotic of whose inhab- .tants is that it will at no distant day be .ome part of the United States. Know ng this, the whole influence of Spain las hitherto been thrown against the acquisition Of Mole St. Nicholas as .oaling station by the United States. But we must get that or some other sta lion in the West Indies. The commer- cial interests of the United States are too important, the stability of the govern nents of the Spanish-American repub- lies. and even of the governments of Europe. is too uncertain, for us to neg leCt that precaution.
 Is there not power in the United States or in the respective states thereof to stop these disgraceful train robberies?

Apparatn. to Prevent Collisions.

An apparatus for preventing collisions between trains has been invented by Professor Pcllat. It consists essentially of a band of travelling paper impregnated with iodide of potassium. A platinum stylus moves over the paper, and when current of electricity passes through the stylus and the paper the iodide is decom- posed. leaving blue mark as in the Bain chemical telegraph. The current is supplied by the moving train in the following manner: The wheels press down levers placed at intervals along the rails and complete the circuit of a battery connected with the platinum stylus and paper of the apparatus. which is situated in the signal cabin. The marks thus made on the paper indicate the position of the train and enable the signal man to trace its course along the line. Having this guide as well as abso- lute control over the signals, he is in a position to reduce the chances of colli- sion to a minimum. if not to render it impossible

BARRELS AND BARRELS AND BARRELS. the time for picking is at hand. One of the liveliest, drivingist times they is in the hull year" as an apple grower, who is proud of his success as such, de scribed the apple harvest the other day. Apples grow in most parts of the United States north of certain line, but there are some regions where they are staple crop, and there you may see such rows of trim, well kept apple trees, such wide extending orchards, as if you are a new conner, will make you open your eyes for pure wonder.
 It Is a question i'll my mind which presents the most attractive sight-an apple orchard all white with blossoms under the blue of an early summer sky that is relieved here and there with the snowy feeces of summer clouds, or the same orchard in the autumn when its boughs are bending under the weight of full crop of red and russet and green fruit. shall never forget the first time I saw the orchards that lie between the famous ridge road and Lake Ontario in level western New York. Orchards were not an unfamiliar sight to me, but such orchards I had never dreamed of. It was in June. The air was heavy with perfume and vibrant with the notes of song birds. for 1t was before the ugly English sparrow had come to America and driven the native feathered mu- sicians from their own. My boyish eyes had always been used to picturesque ir- regularities of hill and valley, but the everywhere extending fruit farms of this. to me, new region moro than made up for lack of diversity in the land scape.
 The orchards I had known usually consisted of D or at laoSt 90 trees which stood near the farmhouScs and were re garded more as a luxury than as a means for adding to tine income of the farmers. The orchards I now beheld were acres and acres in extent, and whole sections of .OOO trees would be devoted to one variety of apples. Baldwins and Green iugs and Seek-No- Furthers and Russets and Northern Spies and others of good marketable quality were cultivated sys- tematically and scientifically.
 The harvest apples that had been so much of feature in the little orchards knew best were prominent. I was told, ill these big orchards only by their ab- sence. To be sure, once ill awhile farmer would allow one or two trees 10 be grafted with early sweet stock just to furnish eating or cooking apples for the summer and early fall. but the raising of apples was not here an incidental 1 matter, it was business throughout. 1 There were practically no ungrafted trees, bearing only knotty, gnarled nat ural fruit. There were no isolated fence corner trees. There were no unpruned trees and no unskilled pruning. for in such a fruit land as had now become q resident of there was enough of that work to bring into existence careful study of pruning as an exact science, and whenever a man put his knife to a tree in one of those magnificent orchards he knew just what he was to cut off and just why he was to do it.
 At the time of which write the rais- ing of apples was at its best as a profit able business. Two. three and even four dollars a barrel were obtained for the fruit every fall, and every year the acre

In a German Workshop.

We had to be at work at o'clock in the morning and to keep on till s o'clock at night. Even on Sundays we worked from 6 o'clock to dinner time. Some would keep on till it was dark on Sun day evening and content themselves with knocking uff early. as they called it. And such work,
 Everybody would work as if the house were on fire. It was all piecework. The man who stood next myself had made veneered chests of drawers for 30 years, and never hal made anything else. He would turn out two veneered chests of drawers ir a week, and the work was faultless. These chests would, l am sure, sell readily in Brisbane for from e12 to cl5 each. He earned about g Prussian thalers per week On the other side uS me stood a man who made Ger man secretaries. There were nine or ten men in the shop. The master was work ing too. He seemed just as poor as the men.
 Whenever work was finished, some furniture dealer would come round and buy it. The men seemed all more or less askew in their bodies with oyerwork. If ever they had an ambition in their lives, 1t was to instill a proper sense of respect into the two pprentices.-"Advent of a Danish Emigrant."

der rungs while I used both hands to gather apples, took extra pains to al low none but firm, sound apples to get into my basket.
 Sometimes the farmers wife or his pretty grown up daughters attended to the barreling of the apples, and then there was a chance for comparison be tween the red of the apples and the rosy cheeks of the girls. After the picking and sorting and barrcling was finished came the hauling away to market, and then. seemingly endless processions of farm wagons laden with barrels of ap- ples became feature of the country roads It was all of intense interest to me the first year I lived in the apple country, and wish 1 could get time to put in couple of weeks there this year
 have used the past tense in what have had to say about apples and apple picking, but the orchards are still there, and so are the apples and the barrels, and doubtless plenty of pretty girls help in barreling the apples these later years the same as they used to. But thu big prices and large profits of the busi ness of apple raising are no more. and unfortunately for the farmers this hard year the crop is a light one in many sections.
 There k only one thing for l boy in the apple ion of western New York to regret, and that is that apples are too plenty to make it worth while or even possible to ''hoOk" them, and this fact quite does away with one of the chief pleasures of bOyhnod in many localities. l. D. MARSHALL.

 Ho- w. J. Northen:
 DEAR SIR-It seems to me that am quite plainly on record concerning the financial ques- tionS l want & currency that Is stable and safe in the hands Of our people not only want our currency to be of such a character that all kinds of dollars will be Of equal pur- chasing power at home. but want it to be of such a character as will demonstrate abroad our wisdom and good faith, thus placing us upon a firm foundation and credit among the nations of the earth want our financial con ditions and the laws relating to our currency safe and reassuring that those who have money will spend and invest it in business and new enterprises instead of huarding it. Aou cannot cure fright by calling it foolish and un- reasonable. and you cannot prevent the fright ened man from hoariinE his money.
 Within the limits of what have written R friend of silver, but I believe its pruTci place in our currency can only be fixed by a re- adjustment of our currency legislation think such thing can only be entered upon prodtably and hopefully after the repeal of the law, which is charged with all our financial woes am therefore opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver by this country alone and Independently.
