WINTER APPLES.
ILL. u1.i..,eu Il $. Nichnlns.


Hottie Whitney, in -. Nicholas.
What cheer is there that is half so good,
In the snowy waste of winter night
Asa dancing fire of hickory wood,
And an easy chair in its mellow light
And pearmain apple, ruddy and sleek,
Or jenneting with freckled cheek
A russell apple is fair to view,
With a tawny tint like an autumn leaf
The warmth of ripened corn fields hue.
Or golden hint of harvest sheaf;
And the wholesome breath of a finished year
Is held in a winesnap's blooming sphere.
They bring YOU thought of the orchard trees
In bloSsomy April and leafy June,
And the sleepy droning of humble bees.
In the lazy light of the afternoon.
And tangled clover and bobolinks,
Tiger lilies and garden pinks
If you've somewhere left, with its gables wide
A farm house set in an orchard old,
You'll see it all in the winter tide
At sight ola pippins green and gold,
Or pearmain apple, rudy and sleek,
Or jennetting with freckled cheek.

Couldn't stand the Expense
From the Melbourne Angus,


was ordering my advertisement in a
Melbourne daily newspaper Office one day
when a tall, lanky countryman walked in
and said he wanted an in memoriam no
tice in the obituary column of the paper
My ole guy nor died year ago, he
explained, and l should ike bit o poe
try in the paper about him.
An right, said the clerk, have you
brought it with you?
No, said the rustic Can you fix
me up bit r.
Certainly, replied the clerk, Our
charge for in memoriam notices is six
shillings an inch.
A look of intense amazement passed over
the countryman's face.
Good gracious p he exclaimed as he
made for the door Il can afford that
my guy nor was six feet high.

Terrapins as Pets.

The latest fad in the way of domestic
pets is the diamond backed terrapins
They can be found now in artists studios.
men smoking rooms. and even in the
ladies boudoirs, says the New York
World
The terrapin is most convenient pet
so far as feeding him is concerned. You
can train him to eat almost anything in
the way of meat, or if you do not give him
anything to eat at all for year or 50 1t
does not appear to distress him to any
great degree 1t only increases his wake
fulness and activity. At first he will only
feed in water, and will eat nothing but
hard or soft shell crabs and CLANS He Is
especially fond of the former After a
time. however. as he becomes more domes-
ticated, he will readily devour cooked beef
or mutton chopped up fine, and will learn
TO take it out of your hand.
When first introduced into the domicile
the diamond-bac Is very restless. He
seems TO want to investigate every posi-
bic corner Of the house But as soon as
he has taken the bearings of his quarters
he subsidies into a condition of quiet con
tent and win allow you to try to teach him
tricks Everybody who possesses a dia-
mond back speaks of the readiness with
which they can be tanned.
A well known New Yorker declares that
he has succeeded in teaching his terrapin
to do the danse du ventre. But this can
not be verified.

Extraordinary Vitality.

The persistence of life in frogs is very
long. Spallanzani preserved some frogs
in a mass of snow for two years They
became dry, stiff and almost friable, but a
gradual heat brought them back to life.
Vulpian observed a return of life in frogs
and salamanders that had been poisoned
with curate and nicotine. In both cases
the animals in question had been for sew
eral days in the condition of cadavers.
Toads have been shut up in blocks Of plas
ter, and then, having been deprived of all
air except what may penetrate through the
material. and of all sources of food, resus-
citated several years afterward. The ques-
ton presents one of the curious problems
that biological science has been called on to
explain The longevity and vital resist
ance of toads are surprising. Besides the
experiments we have cited, nature some
times presents some already made. and
vastly more astonishing. Toads are said
to have been found in rocks Such cases
are rare. but it would be as unreasonable
to doubt them as to believe in some Of the
miraculous explanations that have been
made of the matter The phenomenon is
marvellous. it is true but il is supported
bv evidence that we are not able to CON
test. and skepticism, which is Incompatible
with science, viii have TO disappear if rig
orous observation shall confirm it.

Mention is made in the Bul-

that it takes it as a case of
harsh justice-of the sentence
by Judge Wilcox of "a poor
defendant" to ten days at hard
labor and to pay a fine of one
dollar, for stealing three
pounds of sugar of the value
of fifteen cents. Now, the
fact that the "poor" culprit

says that no pupil can go from
one school TO another, and step
into an exactly similar class to
the one he left, owing to the
want OF Uniformity in grading,
classifying and teaching.
Mr.. Lightfoot here remarked
that there were no funds to carry
on the proposed school.
Mr.. Dumas again arose t. say
that no place on the face of the
globe paid such high salaries to
teachers as were paid on the Ha.
waiian Islands.
Mr.. Kenyon stated that no
teachers ware comparatively as
poorly paid as those on the Ha.
waiian Islands, and he We uld Ii o

Professor Hosmer announced
that he intended to have Oahu

Petitions have been circu-
lated and extensively signed
by German residents, against
the deportation of Wichart Of
the mounted patrol, who &c
cepted that fate as an alter
native to going to prison on
his pleading guilty to aiding
and abetting Nelson in the
assault upon Captain Cook Of
the mounted patrol. 1t is
learned that the petitions have
proved unavailing. Wichart
must go into exile. The Ger.
man colony feels very sore
against the Government il

in connection with the mounted
patrol, Germans having beer

There is a sardonic humor
about resident .Dole's procla-
nation to convene the Legis-
lature for "public business" =
which gives unlimited scope to
all the hobby-rlders for pro
longing the session with atten-
tion to their fads = while the
government organs oracularly
announce that the session will
be exclusively occupied with
the Presidents colonization fad
and o few other items OF
Especial" business. When the
Executive and Advisory Coun-
ellis, without any commission
from the people, could not be
restrained from all sorts O
vagaries in legislation, the
country may well be appalled,
at the prospect of tinkering
with the statutes which vii
be indulged in by the two
houses that have been created
by the formality of a popular
election.
