KEEPING APPLES N PITS.

Apples can be kept in cellars better
than above ground provided they be
not brought in contact with the soil.
This is sure to injure their flavor,
though it prevents either rotting OF
willing from contact with changing
air. There should always be some box
or barrel to enclose the apples before
barying them, and they should be
covered deeply enough to be near the
freezing point all winter. If the ap'
pies are sound whea put in there will
be little or no rot when they are taken
out of their winter quarters.

ment for Weakness of Men
Which Cured Him After Everythln
Else Failed

Painful diseases are bad enough, but
when a man is slowly wasting away
with nervous weakness, the mental
forebodngs are ten times worse than
the most severe pain. There is no let up
to the mental suffering day or night.
Sleep is almost impossible and under
such a strain men are scarcely respons-
ible for what they do. For years the
writer rolled and tossed on the troubled
sea of sexual weakness until 1t was a
question whether he had not better take
a dose Of poison and thus end all his
troubles. But providential inspiration
came to his aid in the shape of combi-
nation of medicines that not only COM
pletely restored the general health, but
enlarged his weak, emaciated parts to
natural size and vigor and he now de-
cIares that any man who will take the
trouble to send his name and address
may have the method OF this wonderful
treatment free. Now, when I say free
I mean absolutely without cost. because
I want every weakened man to get the
benefit of my experience.
/ am not philanthropist, nor do pose
as an enthusiast, but there are thou
sands of men suffering the mental tor
tures of weakened manhood who would
be cured at once could they but get such

PRESS EXCURSION
The California Association VIII Take . Little
Excursion

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 6.-Members
of the California Press association can
look forward to an excursion in June
that promises to be of great profit and
interest. At meeting of the executive
committee of the association, held in this
city tonight, it was determined to hold
the annual excursion on June 5th, to last
eight days, the objective point being
Victoria. 1t is proposed to leave San
Francisco on the night of June 9TH, ar
irving in Portland on the morning of the
7th, remaining over one day to visit the
metropolis of Oregon. The party will
then proceed to Seattle and Tacoma
stopping over in each of these cities. In
Seattle the party will take the steamer
to Victoria, remaining there one day.
The excursion will be made by rail both
ways, in Pullman cars and propably by
special train. The itinerary of the ex-
cursion will be carefully arranged by
committee appaointed for the purpose
and it will include all the important
points in Oregon and Washington.
The California Press association is
strong in members and inasmuch as no
excursion was had in 1896. the condition
of their treasury is such that the officers
have planned a weeks recreation that
will be greatly enjoyed. The committee
Will meet again to arrange the details
and in the meantime the publishers will
adjust their affairs SO that the attend

Out
CANTON, o., Feb. 6.-There were
many visitors at the Mckinley residence
this evening. Among them was Con-
gresham Francis Wilson of Brooklyn.
N. Y. Congressman Wilson is a member
of the house committee on naval affairs
and this has given rise to the rumor that
he Is possibility for secretary of the
navy in President McKinley's cabinet.
He had but a short talk with the presi-
dent-elect but will conclude his confer
ence Sunday. He will attend church
with Mr. Mckinley Sunday morning.
When seen after his talk with President
Mckinley Mr.. Wilson said the nature of
their conference was of such a nature
that nothing could be given out for pub
lication. He said, however, he was not
here in his own interest and his confer
ence with Presid'ent-elect Mckinley was
not regarding cabinet matters.
Col. o. l.. Pruden, executive clerk at
the White House, was in consultation
with Private Secretary Porter the great
er part of the afternoon. Col. Pruden
said he bore a letter to Mr.. Mckinley
from President Cleveland and was here
to confer on important matters which
come up after the Inauguration.
