Apples as Food.

1t is not probable that we fully APP
preciate the true merits of the apple in
part, because it is too often, if not gen
orally, taken simply for the sake Of
gratifying a morbid appetite, instead
ofbeing eaten as part of our meals,
like other kinds OF food. 1t is believed
that good, mellow apple, taken ten
minutes before each meal will be Use
full, preparing the way for the digestive
process, aiding digestion, besides Co
operating with other kinds of food,
more nutritious, in sustaining the
body. Both the malic and acetic acids
contain in the apple aid in in digestion
which must constitute this fruit an im-
portant addition to grain food, especial
ly bread. While it is stated that ap-
pies are thrown up some time after
they are eaten, undigested, il is prOba-
BILE that such were eaten in addition 10
n full meal instead of a part of ii, like
other food. OF course, 81 taxing the
stomach that it could not do its work,
or, worse still, eaten at any time be
tween the meals, not only stopping di-
gestion Of the former meal, but adding
80 much to the labor of the stomach,
oftener than otherwise more taxed,
more cruelty treated than the "bcasts
of burden around us-a slave to the
body. Again, it is probable that hard
apples are eaten in haste, not half chew
ed, these coarse masses not being pene-
trated by the Juices of the stomach, of
course, undigested. On this account it
is we'll To have such made soft by cook
ing, or eaten as sauce, in moderation
II is probable that those troubled with
kidney and urinary difficulties find
that apples, particularly the sour ones,
do not agree with them, while a free
use of cooked apples will be useful to
those troubled with constipation.
Nothing can be reasonably said against
good, mellow, sweet apples in the mat
ter of digestion, rs they digest in an
hour and a half, the sour ones IN two
hours, hard sour ones i'm less than three
hours the time required for beefsteak) },
and apple dumplings in three hours.
The juice and pulp of apples most GER
tainly are far safer than hard cider,
with a large per cent. of alcohol, the
apple containing no alcohol.

Device for Unloading Hay.

Following is description of a device
which works well i'm unloading hay !:
The inventor has placed in the roof Of
his barn over the drive floor, four strong
pulleys firmly attached to the rafters.
In each corner Ofhis hay rack he has
made fast strong ring. BY one purlin
plate he has put up heavy shaft, in
the middle of which is drum, the di-
ameter of which is six times that of the
shaft. To the shaft in four places are
made four ropes, one of which runs
over each pulley and down to the prop
er height to attach To its corner of the
rack for which purpose it has a strong
hook. Over the drum Is wound rope
which comes down to the floor and
runs under pulley and to which the
team is attached for elevatiug the load.
He drives the load upon the floor and
while the driver removes the team and
bitches to the drum rope, he hooks a
rope to the ring in each corner of the
rack. When all is ready, the team
having a purchase of six To one, easily
elevates rack, load and all 10 the height
of the NOV, and with a proper system
of ratchet and dogs it is held there and
easily rolled off into the NOV. When
this is done, by a slight pull on the
drum rope, the dogs are released, and
hy brake applied to the drum the
rack is lowered to its place on the way
on, the team replaced and all is ready
for another load.

The Russian Crown Prince.

In the English and continental press,
rs well as in that of this country, the
Crown Prince Of Russia Is invariably
called Czarewiteh, word which de
notes ''the son of the Car" as Car
ewna means ''the Cars daughter -
These denominations however, have
not been used i'm Russia since the time
of Peter the Great, and have, indeed,
been thenceforth considered objection
able. The reason is to be found in the
fact that the history of Carbon Is fill
ed with numerous tragedies and court
intrigues, in almost all of which a
"Cnrewitch" formed the center of the
conspiracy. The most unfortunate
among these was, perhaps, Clarewitch
Demetrius, i'm Russian Dimitrij. At
Uglisteh they still show the house i'm
which he died, from starvation or some
other unnatural cause. Alexei, Peter
the Greats wretehed son, was the last
heir-apparent of Russia that bore the
title of Czarewitch, which was then
officially abolished ON account of its
painful "reminiscences. From that time
all the members Of the imperial family
of Russia, the Car and Czarina ex-
cepted, were known as Grand Dukes
and Grand DuchesSes, while the even
tual heir-apparent is called Czesare-
witch and his wife Czesarewna. Like
the word Car, both these titles are
derived from the Latin Cesar.

A Colored Preachers Picture of the

Judgment Here came in that Won
derful imaginative quality for which
the colored race is noted. In going
about during the war he had become
imbued with the military spirit, 80 he
began by giving a vivid word picture
of the hosts of heaven lying in their
tent asleep the night before the judg-
ment day. Then he worked up 10
point where the bugle sounded TO pre-
pare for the descent upon the sinful
world. He pictured the heavenly hosts
hurriedly running out of their tents 10

Commander in front. Then he describ-
ed the stiffness that reigned when all
was ready, awaiting the command To
advance. By this time the whole con-
gregatiOn, including myself, were sit

the extreme, and as the preacher de-
scribed the tramp, tramp, tramp Of the
mighty host approaching the earth,
saw several members, terrified, get
down under the benches. He then fol-
lowed a courier coming from the dist

mander detailing "A squad ofhis soldiers

Superstition Cats Prices.

A curious custom prevails among the
street peddlcrs and small storekeepers
Of New York that has its origin with
the Russian Hebrews. In Baxter street
the clothing men, and in Division
street the millincrs, insist that sale
mus; he made before 3 O'Clock on Mon
day morning No matter what the
price, and regardless of the profit or
loss, some piece Of goods has to be
turned into coin BY that hour. Other
wise the week viii prove an unlucky
one.
This explains why shrewd eo-reli-
gionists hang around these places on

a match peddler. He entered the bar
ber shop where | was being shaved on

''No," was the reply. ''I'll give you
nickel" The fellow pleaded until the
hands Of the clock pointed to three
minutes Of nine. Then he took the
five-cent piece and departed, while the
barber explained. Later l met the
peddler on the street and asked; "HOw
much for matches?"
Fifteen cents a package" he replied.
"Will you sell me two packages for a
quarter?' 'NO sir" was the answer.
