Fifteen years ago, says The Lon
don Sketch, IAN Euglishman travelling
in Virginia had his attention directed
to the Albemarle pippin. When he
had tasted the fruit he thought it SO
excellent that he actually ventured to
send a barrel of 'Albemarles' to the
queen. A sample was shown to her
majesty when the apples duly arrived,
and she, too, found them delicious.
So every year an order is sent from
Windsor to grower on the Blue
Ridge Mountains for six barrels of this
particular apple from his orchards.
Very carefully are the apples packed
in polished barrels, with a small Union
Jack and United States flag painted on
the top"

English Ignorance of Canada.

The Canadians say that the Engllsh
people are as ignorant OF Canada n
they are of Dahomey, and this criu-
cism applies to government officials as
well as to citizens. Not long ago when
the embargo against American cattle
was adopted by Great Britain, the
minister of the colonies issued proc
lamation excluding among others all
castle shipped from the province OF
Toronto. There is no such province.
There is a city OF that name, but his
lordship might as we'll have said the
state OF Boston or Pittsburg.
Then, again, last winter there was
built in England, at the expense OF the
Canadian government, new revenue
cutter for service on the lakes. When
it arrived, and the Canadian engineer
went aboard, he found very costly
apparatus for condensing salt water
into fresh for the supply of the boil
ers, and when he called the attention
of the builders to 1t, they explained
that they supposed the water of the
lakes was salty, like that of the sea. -
