THE DRYING OF APPLES.
Description of the Process by One VIII,
Is Engaged In 1t.

The click-clack of the peeler, cries of
'apples" or tray" and snatches OF
song and conversation greet US as we
enter. All around us apples are piled
in bins and sacks from which the "boy''
fills the boxes he takes to the peel
ers," who place an apple on the fork of
the peeler, throw on to the bar the
piece holding the "head" that peels,
and the knife that slices and cores the
apple; while they are turning the
wheel that moves this piece along, they
take up another apple, take off the
first one and its core, and put the Sec
ond one in its place The ''spreaders"
now take the peeled apple, which
has been thrown on the table, trim off
the little peeling remaining, and the
wormy and rotten parts this part is
called high chuck'0 and by a dex-
trous movement spread the apple,
which has been cut down one side, on
a tray. When this is filled, the hoy"
takes it to the sulphur box" where it
is ''sulphured" until white; then it is
placed in cells which are heated by
pipes connected with furnace in the
cellar After it has been thoroughly
dried, the fruit is taken to a bin and
scraped with trowel. and afterwards
sent down to the bin in the packing
ROOM" where it is moistened with
water. The packer" now take
fifty-pound box. lines it
with white paper, places a
layer of samples" or large slices on
the bottom, fills up the box with fruit,
pressing it down until the scales on
which the press is built register fifty
pounds. Then he covers the fruit with
the ends of the white lining paper,
nails lid on the box, stencils upon it
the words Apples" and ''fifty-pound
box" the name and address of the
owner, and of the commission mer-
chant to whom it is sent, and the fruit
is ready for shipment. Let me add
that the high chuck" is sulphured
and dried in the sun, then shipped to
be used for pies in hotels and restau-
rants, by sailors on board ship. and by
manufacturers for jelly.-ToledoBla

JAPANESE PATRIOTISM.
Homely Incident Showing an Old We0'
an's Love for Her Country.

A homely incident is related in one
of the provincial journals which is not
without touch of pathos Kuroiso is
the name of one of the lesser stations
OH the northern route, the nearest viii
lage of any Importance being known
as Higashi Nasu-no-mura, a little
place of less than five hundred
inhabitants AS many trains have
lately been bringing soldiers down
from the northern provinces, and as
these trains have invariably to stop
while at kuroiso, the people of the
above-naned village thought this an
excellent opportunity to turn an hon.
est penny ny selling articles of food,
tobacco, etc, to the soldiers en- route.
There was one old woman, however,
who had a bigger conception Of her
duty and what was owing to the de-
tenders of her country than any of her
fellow villagers. Parting with every
thing she could spare she spent all the
result in buying a large quantity of
chestnuts. These were then made into
that kind of cake known as kachikuri.
This done, the old woman carried the
cakes to the trains whenever they bore
soldiers southwark, and presented each
man with some of the sweets she had
sacrificed so much to procure.
She accompanied each little gift with
a bow and the wish: Conquer in bat
tie and come back to Japan victorious
and unwounded." The soldiers were
much touched by her simple words
and artless demeanor, and would have
given her money, but she positively re-
fused to receive anything in return for
the loyal offerings
This says our provincial contem-
porary, lis the old chivalrous spirit of
japan. not that mercantile and sordid
disposition that has so largely usurped
the place held by the Yamatodamashi

New York, Jan. 31-Speculation on the

TO the strength of American securities
on the London stocktxchange, the good
foreign buying in this market and the
general feeling that the financial situa-
ton would soon be relieved by means
of an issue of government bonds. The
arrival of Assistant Secretary Curtis
and his conference with foreign bank
ers as to the placing of the bonds added
buoyancy to the already healthy tone
of speculation. Prices advanced sharp

THE MAKING OF THIEVES.
A Significant Increase In tho Number o
Child Criminals

A Significant Increase In tho Number OF
Child Criminals.
There has surely been of late a very
great and significant increase in tho
number of child criminals that are
brought to our police courts. There
are more of them, and they are much
younger than they used to be, and
they are vastly tougher" Their man
ner shows plainly that the street has
been their teacher and that they have
been apt pupils. Its method is simple
and varies in Hells Kitchen and in
Jewtown only in the opportunities Of
fered. To begin with the boy idler in
the street during school hours is there

NAL attitude of the street. The police.
man is his enemy and the policeman
stands for the established order Of
things. Thus the groundwork is laid
for whatever mischief comes along. It
is not long in coming, rarely longer
than the dinner-hour OF the first day.
The boy is hungry. He wants some
thing to eat A boys hunger is not
like mans, which can be appeased with
promises. He wants something at once.
If he is playing hooky, he does not
want to go home to get it. Anyway.
there is no need 70 do so. The street

thing. 1t is the first step that costs an
effort, and that not a very great one.
