QUEEN VICTORIA'S APPLES.

writes: Captain ]. Killebrew has Just Wis
tied Albemarle County to see about the
apples the Queen of England eats, which
are not to be obtained anywhere except in
Albemarle and Nelson counties. Fifteen
years ago an English gentleman travelling
in Virginia had his attention directed to
the Albemarle pippin, and was so pleased
that he sent a barrel of them to Queen
Victoria.
Every year since an order for six barrels
comes to a grower, who has his orchards
between Charlottesville and Alton, on top
Of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The apples
for the Queen are specially packed in pol
shed barrels. with a small United States
flag and an English jack painted on the top.

IN CHOOSING CANNED GOODS.
Look for II Slight Depression in the
End OF the Can.


In buying tir canned vegetables or fruits
those only should be selected that havo
slight depression in the end of the can.
This by experts is accepted as proof that
the contents of the can are in proper con-
dition If the end of the can is raised or
bulged. reject it, as that is proof that the
contents of the can were not heated sum-
ciently at the time of sealing, or that in the
past or present they have fermented IL
cans are ordered by the dozen. the members
OF the household who inspect the supplies
should return all cans having such an ap-
pearance. Lead poisoning is not to be
feared from good brands of timed goods
if the contents OF the cans are emptied as
soon as opened into earthenware or glass.
When glass jars are used. keep the fruit or
vegetables il them from contact with the
rubber band. Though there is little dan
ger from their contact, there have. it IL
said. been few cases in which poisoning
is thought to have been caused by chemical
changes in the rubber when in touch with
acid.

it is better trimming for evening wear
