How tn Sell Fru;f.

In order to effect ready sale for
fruit of any kind in these times of
great competition, it is necessary to
grow large and highly colored fruits.
to strive after quality-as understood
in the market-more than quantity, al
though the latter must not by any
means be overlooked. Let 1t be noted.
If fruit is to be sold privately, that good
favor and proper degree of riDeness,
will recommend your fruit to your Gus
toners. If you intend selling through
market agent, flavor will count for
nothing; but rich color and soundness
of condition are everything towards
securing the highest price. All fruit
should be grown as large and highly
colored as possible, gathered and pack
ed before it becomes soft and overripe.
When gathering fruit, never gather
when there is a heavy dew or just after
rain. They should be gathered dry,
and be kept dry.

This Year,s Corn cron

The Secretary of Agriculture esti
mates that this years corn crop will
reach the enormous amount of 1885,
100000 bushels. The figures are incom-
prehensible. They mean that for every
man, woman and child In the United
States there will be gathered into
barns this fall fraction less tnan
thjrty-two bushels of the grain. This
IS but one product of our soil, and as
we have a large surplus, corn will be
exported by the ship load, and millions
of needed dollars will thus be brought
into the country.

It is not an easy matter to can green
corn in satisfactory manner at home,

Mustaehes ana Their Meaning.

Some men are very proud of their

these ornaments are often the outward

q fierce disposition usually give their
mustaches an upward turn, men of a
more lalguid nature allow them to
grow long and downwards, while men

REAL FOOD ON THE STAGE.

No Longer Are Actors Compelled to
Make Believe to Eat.
The people on the stage are the gain
ers in some respects by the realism
that has become feature of dramatic
effects. The days of property banquets
have gone, and the necessity for pam
tomimic art in appearing to devour
papier-mache chicken or to drink cotton
port out of wooden goblets has ceased
20 exist in up-to-date performances.
1t is quite common thing to see the
people on the stage make real tea, the
odor of which, being perceptible to the
audience, adds to the effectiveness of
the scene, while the act of drinking is
naturally performed by the actors.
There was time when the property
man supplied mysterious mixtures, col
ored with nobody knows what, instead
of the real article which is commonly
now provided for wine.
The old style false-alarm champa gne.
made by mixing bicarbonate of soda
and cream of tartar, was a fearful de-
coction which caused many an actor
to come dangerously near throwing up
his engagement when he was supposed
to smack his lips and enjoy it. A slice
or two of turnip often did duty for the
yiands that had to be eaten with the
mixture alluded to, and the effect was
usually pain in the stomach, that kept
Tie unfortunate victim awake all night
with mustard plaster on his equa tor.
Happily for the actor, the progressive
manager now provides lunch of some
thing that is at least palatable, and, in
any event, stage champagne is nothing
worse than sparkling cider. The desire
for realism has also suggested the use
of everything genuine in the way of fur
aniture and properties, and in rural
scenes the Introduction of live stock
has become quite common; but the i'm
provement in the bill of fare for stage
meals is the one that Is most appre-
ciated by the profession.
