midst. He came with his family several
wears since to dwell in our midst. ana bv
their hospitality soon won the. hearts
Of all they met in their adopted country.
He was married iwenty-eight years ago to
the devoted wife who is now lett to mourn
his loss he also leaves three loving dutiiui
sos,s. His was not demonstratiye pature
The made but lew professions but his
daily lie exhibited far more than words
the deep piely that actuated and governed

rare exceilcnce and many virtues. His
hospitality was exceptional and his honie
lille i.eausilul. His sunny, cheerful dispo-
s,sivn exercising over both inmates aud
guest the same radiant unselfsf spirit.
No haish discordant word ever marred

the buds that contain the embryos OF
future crop. When plucklng apples
or pears, instead of hauling off the
fruit with spurs, buds and leaves, take
hold of the apple or pear, and at tho
same time thrust the thumb nail
against the base of the stem and pull
on the fruit, and thus sever the stem
from the fruit spur at the seam pre-
pared in the growth of the stem and
spur for the separation of fruit and
spur. When pluckins cherries, take
hold of the long stems and separate
them with the thumb-nail, handling
the fruit by the stems rather than by
taking hold of the fruit. If the hand
clasps q cluster of cherries, and the
fruit is hauled off carelessly, the fruit
spur will be broken off together with
ali the half-mature fruit. Then, if tho
cherries are fully ripe, and they are
clawed of without taking hold of ths
stems, the fruit and stems will be
separated, to the great damage of the
ripe fruit. When cherries are to bo
used Immediately, they may be pulled
off the stems. But when the fruit is
to be sent to market, the stems fhould
not he separated, as the rupture of
the fruit incident to the separation Of
the stems will hasten decay and dam
age appearance, because as soon as
the stems of cherries are removed from
the fruit the juice will flow out.
Almost every variety of cherries fail
to ripen with desirable uniformity.
For this reason the persons who pluck
the fruit should be instructed to CLEAN
only the ripe fruit without hauling off
immature specimens. But whoever is
allowed TO pluck cherries should have
this brief precept. ''Bo careful of
the fruit spurs" reiterated, until he
or she will understand that the fruit
buds, the fruit spurs, the little
branches that are loaded with fruit.
must not be crushed by the feet or
pulled off by careless hands. Make
every dullard understand that every
twig and fruit spur broken off repre-
sents cluster of cherries of next
years crop, and the fruit for many
future years actually lost by inezcus-
able heedlessness. There should be
many placards posted up where pick
ers can read the important words;
"Do not break off the fruit spurs. -

Wood Used as Food.

Did you ever hear OF wood beinn
used for food?' inquired Amion L.
Vandervate, of Pensacola, Fla, of the
corridor man Mt the Lindell last even.
ing. 81 travelled rather extensively
through Siberia Il few years ago and
found that among the natives along
the northern coast wood in a certain
form Is most common and constant
article OF diet. The natives eat it be-
cause they like it.
Gwen when fish are plentiful it
usually forms part of the evening meal,
as many 'cleanly stripped larch logs
near every hut testify. These people
know by experience that the fact of
their eating wood arouses tbs sympa-
thy of strangers, and shrewdly use it
to excite pity and to obtain gifts of
tea and tobacco. They scrape of
tick layers Immediately under the
bark of the log, and chopping it fine
mix it with snow. 1t is then boiled
in IA kettle. Sometimes little fish
roe, milk or butter is mixed with it.
