Now that the cold winds of winter are
beginning to blow over us, the apple
buyers are quietly storing away quanti-
ties of fruit to put on the market later
on. This years crop has been fairly
good one for an off year, and the price
of apples during the winter will be
within reach of every one, it is said.
Despite the unpromising outlook during
the summer months, growers have pro-
duced enough to supply the home de-
mand.
Erie county is behind in her annual
production perhaps, but Niagara, Or
leans, Genesee, Monroe and adjoining
counties will make up the deficit. In
the western states apples are said to be
scarce, but in the eastern, particularly
Massachusetts and New Hampshire,
quite a quantity have been bought up.
The exports this year will be light.
Commission merchants say the year has
been especially good for pears and
ounces. Express.

A Negro Nearly $50 Years Old.

An old negro name George Washington
Jameson, from middle Georgia, was seen at
Way Cross last week. He says he is 147
years old He has every appearance of be-
ing an old man and attracts a great deal
of attention wherever he goes.
He is generally surrounded by group of
men and boys, who are interested in the
stories he tells of the olden times. Uncle
George is enjoying good health. He is a
medium sized negro; does not walk with
cane or crutch. His head is white with
wool His vision and hearing are good,
He claims to be the oldest living man,
and expects to reach the l50-year mile post.

The California Academy of Sciences
contains one of the finest collections of
butterflies and moths in the world-cer
tainly the finest on the Pacific coast
This collection was made by DIR Fl H,
Behr, who began the work in 1874 and
who has been steadily adding to it ever
since Quite recently DR. Behr presented
to the academy, which means the people
of Californl9 the accumulated riches re
sulting froiu his labors of nearly half Il
century
Previous 10 1874, DR. Behr made an
other coli,rnon which he presented to
the Duke at SaXony- Anhalt, 1t Is now
in the museum at Kothen, Saxony The
oldest butterfly in DR. Behr's later col
lection was caught in Batavia In 1874
Since this date the enthusiastic scientist
has pursued his researches i'll Europe,
the East Indian archipelago, Manila,
the Sunda islands the Cape of Good
Hope the lsthmus OF Panama, Brazil
Mexico, Australia and the United States,
By exchanging with other collectors he
has obtained specimens from all parts of
the known world Some of the finest
and rarest are from the Amoor river
The collection includes nearly 10000
specimens, of which about 5000 are still
unclassifed The number of determined
species is 1901. OF these 200 are Cali

The continual extension Of railways in
Turkey in general and especially in the
Syrian province of the empire, is of some
what wider interest than the economic i'm
portance of the lines built or building
would suggest The railway policy of the
Ottoman government has resulted so far
in the construction of three trunk lines
through the northern and central portions
of the sultan's Asiatic dominions These
lines embrace IA railway from Haidar Pasha
ii suburb of ConStantinople-ru
right through the heart of Asia Minor, and
thence down to the Tigris valley, Bagdad
and the Persian gulf the object being to
link the latter gulf with the waters of the
Golden Horn, the second, II line from Sam
soon, on the Black sea. southwark to Ayas
on the Mediterranean, and so link together
the Black and Mediterranean seas; third,
to connect the Mediterranean sea through
Damascus and the Euphrates valley with
the Persian gulf.
The first line has been undertaken by a
German company which has already car
ried the line to Angora, 40 miles inland
from Constantinople. y Belgian company
holds the concession for the second line,
and has already completed the survey Of
the first portion. The third line is in pos
session of an English company, whose
operations have already reached the point
of actual construction and this line, which
passes through Syria and the EuphTats
valley, will form part of the shortest route
to India. London Times

The invitation of an up river vicar to
boating men to attend the services at his
church in their hannels is another indi-
cation of the prevailing spirit of liber
alitv in dress. The old restrictions seem
to be gradually in course of removal,
and there Is some danger that contrary
extreme may III time be INDUCED in
For instance, the presence of a man i'll Il

of ladies present that 1.-THE poor man had
had no dinner" Had he overheard the
conversation he would have experienced
no difficulty in comprehending the i'm

In Paris there has been movement
to revive frills and embrOideries on
evening shirts, and more than one gom-
maux has adapted the jabot of lace-a
little plated frill that is familiar enough
in the portraits of the Seventeenth CEN
fury. Velvet facings to evening coats
have also been seen in Paris, and it
would not be improbable that the wear
ers would oStracize any stranger who
would appear even at a club in post

Mr. Singcry inherited the foundation
of his great wealth from his father who
was one of the pioneer street railway
nagnatcs of the Quaker City. He gradu-
ated from the Philadelphia high school in
1850 and entered the commission and prod

remained for 10 years. Then he went to
Chicago and engaged in the commission
business, but was soon recalled by his ia
Their to assume the management of the
Germantown passenger railway. After his
fathers death Mr.. Siugerly sold his street
railway stock for 81 800, 900.
In 1877 Mr.. Singerly bought the Phila-

prising ability as "A sagacous and enter
prising editor and publisher. The Record
now has very large circulation and occu-
pies one of the finest newspaper otlics in
the country. Mr.. Singcrly's journalistic
success has not narrowed the scope of his
endeavors, and his business interests are
now probably larger and mere varied than
ever. Mr.. Singerly is in his sixty-second

fHg NECESSITY OF WORK
How Americans Appear to Easy Going
English Philosophers.

How Americans appear 10 Lde9 NSiiA1
English Philosophers.
Work has become more interesting with
The create? compleXity Of lie, with in
.reased competition and with the lleencr
sense of what work means; it has become
mont necessary, and it has filled larger
space in all the incidents of life. The old
leisurely ways have died out, the old vast
ings of time. and in great number men,
usually the successful men, the old addic-
ton to hobbies wholly disconnected with
the work of the day.
The work, no matter what it is, has filed
the mind more, and the habit of doing it.,
from a mere clothing has become skin,
which it seems impossible to tear off with
out actually suffering. The reluctance to
go has become morbid-that is, like Il
habit INDUCED for IA generation, has nearly
passed beyond the control of the will.
Men, as any great physician will tell you,
constantly die of retiring" and of no 9th
or disease That Nessus shirt of hsbit bites
Hayagely even here, and if we strengthen its
poison, as in America, by exposing it TO the
action at once of opinion, of specialized
ambition and of hereditary proclivity, we
shall recognize how alarming the very idea
of tearing it from the flesh must perforce
become.
1t is ALMOST from an instinct of self de
fence, like that which closes the eyelid to
the glare of light, that an American
shrinks from abandoning business, and
goes on till he dies adding to millions
which give him practically nothing, and
which, if the influence of habit ceased, he
would give away, or throw away, more
recklessly than any man in the world.
He does it, even now, very often when he
makes a donation" or portions daughter
or gives an Aladdin entertainment, but
then, each of those operations, though un-
productive, strikes him as business too To
him it is only leisure which is not business,
and therefore a harassing waste of valuable
time.-London Spectator.
