ABOUT FRUIT.
Interesting Figures From a
 Verde Apple Orchard.
Fifteen Trees Yield Net Profit of Nearly Fifty Dollars to
 Each Tree.

The chamber of commerce display received an addition yesterday in the shape of several apples from ranch on the Verde. They are of the Ben Davis and Greening varieties and in the mat ters of size, flavor and color are fully equal to similar varieties from the or chards of Michigan and northern New York and Pennsylvania, the supposed best regions for the growth of apples.
 These samples do not it is true repre- sent the possibilities of the valley ss most of the other fruits on display do yet they come from 6 tributary region. The growth of this particular branch of fruit raising in the regions adapted to it may become as important to Phoenix as any of the other important indus tries, most of which may yet be said to be only partially developed.
 These apples came from an orchard of fifteen trees They were planted with out any special care and are in a To- cality where water is scare. They have never received any irrigation for them selves alone but sometimes after the irrigation of an adjoining alfalfa field, if there was any water left 1t was turned into the orchard.
 The result however in the way of profit to the owner has been astonish- ing. Last year the entire crop was readily sold in adjacent mining camps at 12 cents pound and the miners re- garded the price as 90 low that the apple grower was considered public benefactor.
 The orchard netted him $700, or $46.662S to each tree. Not taking into account the cost of the original plant. ing, which was trihing, these figures are offset by no item of expense. The owner gathered the crop himself, and it was put into an eager market with. out any other tariff on the traffic than the cost of axle grease and the wear and tear on his wagon.
 Apples have been successfully raised in the valley, yet the crop is by nc means sure and the fruit lacks that ex. quisite flavor which can be acquired only in higher attitudes or attitudes. II is necessary that the apple tree be submitted to at least slight freezing process. rr
 Another contribution to the chamber of commerce display were a dozer peaches by Mrs. W. h. Thomas. They are of the late Thistle variety, and eact peach is as big as big teacup.
 Charles Williams also brought in z lot of very fine pomegranates.
 Secretary Perley, of the chamber. ii engaged in preparing an elaborate dis play of raisins and dried apricots. They are being arranged in glass cases.

LONG-LIvEO RUSSIANS.
Some of Them Reach the Age of Six
 Score and Five.

Some of Them Reach the Age of Six
 Score and Five.
 It has long been a well-established fact that abnormal longevity is more common among the Russians than among any other of the European na- tions, says the London News. From an official report collated from we'll authenticated local registers, it now appears that the government of Kieff takes the first place of all Russian provinces in this respect. During last year, it is officially stated, there were fourteen centenarian deaths registered in that government. In the city of Kieff one man died aged 110 yearss while within the suburban circle two women died aged respectively 1O2 and 104 years.
 Berditcheff two men reached the respective ages of 101 and 114 years. In Vassilkof another patriarch died in his 18th year. In the same district there died Jewess aged 1O5; in Svenigorod- ka, man of no years; in Tarastcsha, another of 105; in Uman, two men aged respectively 106 and 102 years; in Rado- mytzel, Jew agad 107 and Christian aged 1O3; and lastly, man of 1O5 years died at Tcherkassy.
 Here are fourteen persons, dying within the same year and within the limits of one district, whose united ages amount to 1,4s9 years. According to the Saratoff journals there is still living in that government an ancient veteran of the First Napoleon army, formerly Lieut.. Savin, and since 1872 known as Nicolai AleXandrovitch Savin. who has celebrated 126 birthdays.

MOURNING FOR SNAKES.
New England Reptiles Must Be Taking
 Their Vacation.

New England Reptiles Must Be Taking
 Their Vacation.
 Whenever you say: "This is a splen- snake editor, he shakes his head sor- rowfully and remarks: ''Not bit of it. It's the worst season on record"
 "Why, didn't you see the other day that rattlesnakes had appeared at Exeter N H. ?'' he was asked by an in quirer.
 "What of that?" was the reply ''Would you consider that that was worth being compared with the story from the west-about the man who went down into an abandoned mine and killed one hundred and thirty three rattlesnakes, drank quart of whisky and earned one hundred dollars in less than an hour?''
 And the snake editors eyes fairly glistened at the thought of the ad- venture.
 Don't you remember the eight-foot snake found out at the Back Bay?"
 "What is an eight-foot snake in Bos- ton to be compared with the big ser pent stories coming from other parts of the country. There was the boa con- strictor who escaped from cage and hid in a sewer.''
 ''Oh, that was old"
 ''No; that happened in Washington, and is vouched for. Then there was the duel between two jealous boa con- strictors in a Brazilian forest, and the two different stories about men barely escaping being swallowed by pythons, and the educated black snake which milked COW, and the man who caught eight ground hogs and was attacked by black snakes and had to throw the ami mals away to appease the reptiles" This was a long sentence and the snake editor had to pause for breath, but before the questioner could get in a query, he resumed the catalogue.
 ''Then there was the reappearance o1 the sea serpent in the Pacific ocean, i and the man who eats rattlesnakes in preference to spring chickens, and the snake charmer who was being photo graphed with his pets, when they went on strike and demolished the estab. lishment. l had almost forgotten the two cases of people on the California coast who were seized by-shall I say ocotpuses or roctopi?-and almost killed No, this has been splendid season fol snake stories in every section of the country but New England, and it is enough to drive an enterprising snake editor west, where there is something to do. New England isn't in it..
 And with that the disheartened snake editor mournfully wended his way to ward a place where he could go 1T training for seeing snakes as much as | he liked.

NATURAL HISTORY WONDERS.

THE greyhound runs by sight only.
 MANY birds seem to have a correct notion of guns range, and are scru- pulously careful to keep beyond it. 8
 THERE is a species of ant, known as the black or negro ant, which is taken in battle by other ants to be made slaves.
 IT is conjectured that the carrier pigeon flies his hundreds of miles homeward by eyesight, noting from point to point objects that he has marked.

HOLD ON, BOYS.

HOLD on to virtue-it is above all price to you, in all times and places.
 HOLD on to your good character, for it is, and ever will be, your best wealth.
 HOLD on to truth, for it will serve well, and do you good throughout eternity.
 HOLD on to your temper when you are angry, excited, or imposed upon, or others angry about you.
 HOLD on to your tongue when you are just ready to swear, lie, or speak harshly or use an improper word.
 HOLD on to pour good name at all times. for it is much more valuable to you than gold, high place or fashion able attire.

the raising Of more milk, butter and eggs

this part Of the country a kind of city
suburb. More wealthy people would set

OF course, rs long as it costs four times
as much to send a package from Belfast
to Boston as it does u send it from Bos-
ton to Liverpool, We cannot hope fur any
very driving business On the coast of
Maine But tie time will come when tile
government will own and operate the
steam railroads, or something id their
place, and will carry freights at reasonable
prices. In the meantime an electric road
will pay that connects Belfast with the

summer sings
Since all the world, the white white world,
has spread its airy wings
50 light - light On roof and tree those
downsoft feathers lie
Breathe not one breath, D winter wind lest
our white world-biru fly!
Not one soft rustic in tile trees, one zephvr
Ger the hill
The deepest JOY is silent JOY, the happiest
hearts are still,
And ye, o doubt and pain and care, to-day
bld ye cease.
Der all the land these fair white wings fold
like a hrooding peace,
And sweet with joy and bright with hope
and pure from every sin
This IS the white world that God made when
Love first entered in.
