The Senators begin their third week
OF the home series to-day. They are in

their victory over ST. Louis on Saturday,

Crooks is also putting up a wonderful
game, and the many star infielders must
look upon this work with envy and admira-

A continuance OF the form displayed by
the Senators last week will soon serve toput
Washington ahead OF Brooklyn. The hard
luck that the boys had last Wednesday
when ten minutes more play would have

APPLE RUST.
a Quality That Lends Beauty to thu
Cider.

A Quality That Lends, Beauty to tha
Cider.
Who that has seen cider-press in
operation has not admired the deep,
rich. golden-brown or golden red color
that the juice of the apples assu mes
us it gathers in the receptacles? This
characteristic hue OF cider is almost as
pleasing to the eye as the flavor of the
fresh, sweet jnice is to the sense of
caste 1t reminds one of the colors of
che autumn landscapes amid which the
apples have ripened. But science says
that cider owes its beautiful color to
the fact that it oxidizes or rusts
A French, chemist has recently
shown that the apple contains an
,xidizing ferment, kind OF diastose,
which produces the brownish or red
dish color of cider. The smanner ia
which this substance produces oxitla>
ton can readily be observed by any
one who cuts an apple open and leaves
it exposed for short time to the air.
The cut surfaces gradually turn red as
the oxygen of the air unites with the
juice, or in word, the apple rusts
This rusting Of an apple may also be
brought about by simply bruisinR the
fruit without breaking the skin
Everybody knows that apples that
have fallen violently to the ground
show red or rusty spots underneath
the bruised ,rind., In this. case the
oxygen is derived from the air con.
tanned in the ducti OF interstices
among the tissues of the fruit, and it
becomes active through the breaking
of the cells that inclose the oxidizing
fermeut. vn eAl III
han apple is cooked before its skin
is broken its tissues do not oxidize
when exposed to the air. This Is ex-
planned on the supposition that the
oxidizing properties OF the fe-ment are
destroyed by heat
But let the apple rust If it likes; the
uncounted thousands who look upon it
as the king of fruits will never regard
their favorite the less fondly for that.
And who knows how much of its de-
liciousness in the mouth may be due TO
the very element that causes II to
oxidIze when left wasting In the air.

A stammerer.s wit.

On one of the old stage routes of east
ern Maine was jolly driver whose
habit of stammering was the occasio
of some innocent amusement on the
part of his friends.
One day his numbering coach was
stopped by foot passenger who in.
quired the way to the next town. The
driver attempted to tell him, but no
words came. At last, waving his hand
desperately toward a fork in the road,
he said:
''T-t-try both roads, and you'll get
there fore / c-can t-tell you"
On another occasion he was helping
an uncomfortably stout man into the
coach. The man was so large that
there was more or less delay in finding
him sufficient room. Irritated by the
attention he had attracted, the passen-
ger exclaimed, in imitation of this
driver: r
There. s-start up your old b-b-beaL
pot of a t-teamr'
'All r-ready. n-now. sir-we've g~got
the p-pork in" was the laughing reply.

: WHITE HOUSE FAvoRlTEs.

Fl0wcrs That Have Been Popular with
the wives OF Presidents.
The ladies of the white house have
always been much interested in the
beautiful flowers grown either in the
grounds or conservatories of the flne
old mansion, and each has shown q de-
cided admiration for some particular
flower. Mrs. HAYES was extremely
fond of rose and apple geraniums, so
much SO that special house was de-
voted to the cultivation, for her, of
these old-fashioned, fragrant plants.
For the short months during which
Mrs. Garfield held sway. her prefer
ence was for orchids. Afterwards. in
President Arthur's time, when the
white house was a bachelors establish
ment, there was no lack of apprecia-
ton for the flowers, though Presiden.
Arthur's liking was more for sdecora-
tive plants, and be took the greatest
delight in arranging and rearranRinp
the ferns and palms ia the different
rooms. In fact, II often happened tina I
after the gardeners had spent an after
noon in decorating the entire house.

his clearing and only few yards from
the creek. He turned out of his way
to take look at it, He found the trap
unsprung, and he went inside. to see If
the bait wasall right. He happened to
touch it in some way, when bangl
down came the heavy door And there
Reuben was. AS far as getting out
was concerned, he might just as well
have been in prison cell. There
wasn't much of chance of anyone
coming along that way, and the best
that Reuben looked ahead to was that
some day some one might stumble on
the pen and gather up his bones and
give 'em decent burial. Jasper under
stood the desperate situation, too, and
took it much to heart, but he didn't
intend to sit by and see Reuben starve.
There was an opening between a
couple of the logs through which he
could squeeze, and every day for two
weeks he went down to the creek and
caught trout and brought them to
Reuben Then the supply of trout
seemed to give out. Jasper fished and
fished, but not trout or any other
kind of fish could he capture. At last
Reuben felt that starvation was getting
its clutches on him, and he conld see
that Jasper was fail ling fast. One day
an idea struck him. He didn't see any
hope for himself, and he wanted folks

swapping turtle is that the swapping
turtles destiny is the same as that of
the mock turtle-soup. / don't know
where the mock turtles native heath
is, so to speak; but never saw that
turtle mentioned anywhere except in
connection with soup. knowing what
] know about swapping turtles, this
narrow estimate of them pains me.
But such it is, even on the Sinnema-
hone. According to 1t, the swapping
turtle lives but to be apprehended aud
cast into swill barrel, there TO remain
and take on involuntary obesity against
the time when it is fit in flesh to be-
come the basis for soup. Which is all
wrong.
''Once, in the bachelor days of my
father, some one bagged a swapping
turtle Of tremendous bulk. 1t was ut

to know some time if possible what
had befallen him, and he thought he
might do it through Jasper. He took
the turtle, turned him over on his
back, and cut on his shell with his
knife this inscriptions:
In Bear Pen at Ben's Crook Can't get OUT
STRIVING. REUBEN PETTfBoNE
-" 'Therer said he. 'I'll turn Jasper
out of the pen and shut up the hole
so he can't get back. Maybe he'll
wander somewhere, be found and
spread the news Then they'll get my
bones, anyhow
''But he didn't have. to turn Jasper
loose. As soon as Reuben had finished
cutting the inscription on his shell,
Jasper made for the opening as fast as
he could, which was slow enough.
Reuben watched him in surprise. He
made his way straight for the creek.
He didn't wait second, but plunged
in and Reuben saw him no more.
"'Jasper's going to save his bacon,
anyhow said Reuben, and he felt lone
some. ss .i-s ft
"You may come pretty near imagin-
ing that folks at the clearing got we'll
worked up when Reuben Pettibone
failed to come back, and no trace of
him could be found. They were slow
to believe it, but at last they came to
the conclusion that he had absconded
with the tax money; all but Nancy
Peterbaugh. The old squire honestly
thought that Reuben had stolen the
money and run away, and he set his
foot right down and said that now
Nancy must marry Japhet Saltcider.
He actually set the day, and Nancy
had to give in. The day for the we'd
ding came, and Nancy was out among
her rosebushes crying her heart out.
The creek ran by the yard, only few
feet away, aud as Nancy stood there
crying she saw something crawl out of
the water and come toward her. She
wiped her eyes so she could see better,
and then gave scream.
'It's Jasper she cried.
'.'And so it was. Nancy ran out,
picked the turtle up. and ran with him
into the house.
"'Seer she screamed. Here's JAS
per! Reuben hain't run away or JAS
per d be with himr
Then she happened to turn the tur-
tie so she saw the under side of the
shell, and read what was cut there.
Then she screamed again, and tainted
dead away. While they were fetching
her to. old Squire Puterbauph read
the inscription on the turtle, and
in less than ten minutes had two men
on horseback tearing up the creek to
Ben's Crook. It is hardly necessary for
me to say that they rescued Reuben
and brought him home, and that he
married Nancy Puterbaugh and SO got
to be my father.

thing. Not thing. Turtles can't
turn a summerset, nor run race, nor
dance jig. But don't you go and
think for minute that they amt
stuffed full of brains. take my hat
off to turtles. Every time. And I
ought to. Why? Because if it hadn't
been for turtles wouldn't be here to-
day. Not as the son of Reuben Petit
bone, anyhow. Reuben Pettibone
wouldn't have been my father If it
hadn't been for turtles. Take my hat
off to turtles? You bet your lifei And
keep it off, too, as long as they're
around. Sinnemahoning turtles,
mean. Certainly. Sinnemahoning tur-
ties, every time.
BESIDES having head filed with
the best quality OF brains. the sense of
gratitude predominates in the breast
of the Sinpemahoning turtle, be it
swapping turtle, mud turtle or land
turtle. There is nothing in the Petit
bone family records that places us un-
der any personal obligation to the
mud turtle, but to the snapper and the
land turtle we owe much.
Even as a young man. before he be-
came my father, Reuben Pettibone was
q remarkable man. He had tender
heart, and could split more shingles in
a day than any other man on the Sim
nemahone. He had some faults. He
PLAYED the fiddle. II he was away
from home and it was five miles by one
road and ten miles by another, with a
tavern on the ten-mile road and none
on the five-mile, distance was no OBJ
ject to him. He'd take the ten-mile
road. He was true child of nature, a
good judge of mule, and losed his
neighbor as himself. In fact, he loved
one Of his neighbors good deal better
than himself-Nancy Puterbaugh. She
was the daughter of Squire Salem
Puterbaugh, and violate no confidence
now by saying that she loved Reuben
Pettibone in return, which her father
didn't exactly approve Of But in say
