An exchange says: We have heard OF
a man who has some apples 10 his cellar
that were placed there over year ago
and are still Of fine flavor and as sound as
bullets. His plan is a simple one and one
which can easily be practiced by every
producer of fruit. The plan is to wrap
each apple up separately in piece OF com
mon newspaper, being particular to have
the fruit entirely covered and prevent as
far as possible the fruit being exposed 10
the air. They can then be put into box
or barrel and stored in the cellar All the
apples must be sound and free from
bruises, and the newspapers used must be
ones on which the subscription has been
paid in full. Otherwise the dampness
resulting from what is due will cause the
fruit 10 spoil.

"A young lady residing below Bridge
street, among her many accomplishments
is an excellent cook. The other evening
she made short cake for supper which
for excellence, could not be beat. Her
cousin who was visiting her at the time,
as she reached for her eighth cake, re-
marked, 'I'll just bet that II certain
young man on Cottage Hill could eat
some of these cakes, he would have q
wife before the daisies bloom in the
spring." The young lady, though much
pleased with the compliment SO justly
paid her, had mortal fear that her young
man should know that she ever thought
on such things as victuals, 80 when her
cousin proposed telling him about it, in
her excitement she exclaimed, SIT you do
I'll break your neck"
II the young lady really means to cap.
ture the young man referred to, letting
him know that she is good cook would
be the best card that she could play.
Young men are good feeders and the
young lady that declares recess in court
ing about the middle of the evening and
gives her young man some cake and lem
onade, and can say that she made the
cake, will be well repaid for the outlay.
Counting is hungry work, or at least used
to be forty years ago, and the young man
that has no appetite at such times is
probably threatened with dyspepsia or
worse. The young lady's wishes in the
matter should be respected, however, and
she is right in saying ''that her cousin
had better learn to make short cake than
to go skating and push the young men
Into the water" -

Yesterday there was considerable
racing on Main street. Policeman Morse,
by order of the Mayor, stopped it, much to
the indignation of the participants, we
hear. The trouble is that this practice
of racing on Main street has been allowed
to go on too long, and if the men engag-
ed in it do not cease this dangerous
amusement on our public streets, an ex-
ample should be made of them. II this
is not done, our city may be called upon
to pay for damages for injury done to
life or limb, sooner or later, for there can
be no doubt that if the racing goes on as
it has been going on for years, without
any honest effort by our authorities to stop
it, the city will be responsible on ac-
count of neglect TO enforce its ordinances
when it can have no excuse for its fail
ure Sc to do.

IN A BALLOON.



The Sensations That Are snperinduced by
Its Rising and Falling.
A dim sunlight strikes us in the bal
loon. Suddenly we realize we are in
bright sunshine again, with aeecy white
clouds below us and deep blue sky
above. Look at the shadow of the bal
loon on the clouds See the light pris-
matte colors like halo around the
shadow of the car. Here we are all
alone, III perfect silence, in the depths
of a great abyss-massive clouds tower
ing up ON all sides, a snowy white mass
below. But no sign Of earth-no sign
Of anything human. Not sound, not a
sign of life What peacel What bliss
Horrors! What's that report? The bal
loon must have burst. Oh, nonsense
Keep still It's only fold of the stuff
nipped by the netting being suddenly
released; that's all.
Well, we are falling, for see the bits
Of paper apparently ascending. And we
must take care, for the GOODNESS and
dampness of this cloud will cause the
gas to contract, and we shall fall rapid
ly. so get bag OF ballast ready, for
we are already in the darkness Of the
cloud. Now the gas bag shrinks and
writhes, and the loose folds rustic to-
gether. and it gets darker. You can feel
the breeze blowing upward against
your face or hand held over the edge Of
the car. Well, that's not to be wondered
at, for remember we are falling, say
1000 feet minute, which is the same
thing as if we were going along ten
miles an hour sitting in dogcart.
Not quite the same, you say-you'd
sooner be in the cart? Well, perhaps If
the horse were going straight at wall,
without the possibility of being able to
stop him, you would think otherwise.
But look There is the earth again so
out with your ballast. Go on Pour out
plenty; there's no good economizing. -
