Profitable Apples.
From the Richmond Dispatch.


We referred the other day to the fncreas-
ing interest In fruit culture in Virginia It
Is subject that should receive the earnest
attention of the Virginia farmer, for our
statement that good apple orchard in
some sections Of the state is almost as val
liable as a Florida orange grove was not
exaggerated.
In verification of this, we see It stated
that DR.. Emmett D. Boaz of Albemarle
county, recently shipped fifty-one barrels
of pippins to London, which were sold mt
public auction for $517.85, an average Of
$10.15 per barrel These apples were NOT
picked and wrapped in tissue paper. bnt
were taken as they came from the trees
and shipped in ordinary barrels
Is This Anything Like SportY
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
They have some queer ideas of snort In
Europe. as witness the exultant proclama-
ton that in a recent battue the emperor
shot 1,224 pheasants at the rate of five ner
minute. Persons unfamiliar with the wav
such things are conducted might suppose
that he used a Calling gun, but the fact Is
that not only In Germany, but in England
and other countries, pheasants are bred in
f1ocks and fed until they become as tame
as chickens An American sportsman
would scarcely be proud of destrucI,ve
raid on somebody's barnyard, and certain.
ly would not care to have the fact CALLED
around the world. 1t did not even have the
merit of craftsmanship that attaches tn a
pigeon shooting match.

to Washington from Shamokin, Pa, where
he had a large And growing congregation.
The present pastorate is his fourth. His
first charge was at Selins Grove, Pa; his
second at St Matthews, Philadelphia. and
the third at Trinity Church, Shamokin.
Dr. Domer was born near Altoona Pa,
in 1896. In 1919 he entered Wittenberg
College and graduated in 1853, after which
he entered the seminary at Gettysburg for
the study of theology. Leaving the sem
mary, he entered upon his first charge,
where he remained fourteen years.
During this time he was associated with
Drs. Kurtz and Ziegler in founding the
Missionary Institute and the Susquehanna
Female College, and in connection with this
pastorate had charge of the last named
with many calls to churches in Philadel-
phia, Baltimore, Cincinnati, New York
state and other places, none of which was
accepted. In 1876 he received the degree of
D. d. from Roanoke College, Va.
Progress of His Charge.
To DR.. Domer belongs the credit of build
ing up the congregation Of st. Pauls to it's
present size and influence. When he took
charge the congregation was greatly de-
pleted, in consequence of the transfer Of SO
many members to the Memorial of which
Rev. DIR. ]. G. Butler is pastor. There
were only about eighty left, and the Sun
day school contained but sixty pupils. AT
the first communion there was but one con-
firmation. The present enrolment of the
church is more than four hundred men,
berS, and of the Sunday school over five
hundred.
St. Paurs Church has been enlarged and
remodeled several times during DR..
Domer'S pastorate, the last and most costly
Improvement being made in 1883, at cost
of $S95A.4S, which practically made it a
new church. From st. Paul's, the mother
church of English Lutheranism in this city,
there have been organized Memorial,
Church of the Reformation, and St.
Marks; and also, through these three,
Zion Church of Our Redeemer and Keller
Memorial.
Lutheran Anniversary.
One of the most notable events in the
history of DR.. Domers pastorate here was
the great celebration of the four hundredth
anniversary of Lutheranism. DR.. Domer
delivered number of Sunday evening lee
lures on various phases of the reformation,
which We're received with much favor, and
concluded with great platform meeting
at which the then commissioner of educa-
ton, Gen. Eaton, presided and made the
opening address, after which Pere Hya-
cinth delivered an address in the French
language, followed by Mr.. Simon Wolf of
this city, Rev. DR.. David Wilson, chaplain
in the United States army; Mr.. B. H.
Warner, and the pastor, and closing with
the singing of Luther'S great battle hymn
"A Mighty Fortress is Our Cod" This
was regarded as one of the most remark
able and interesting anniversaries ever held
in Washington.

Birds driven before the wind are tossed
ABOUT reientlessly, and they rarely recover
thelr balance after once being caught by
the gale. Shore birds are either dashed
upon the waves and made to swim for their
lives. or they are hurled violently against
trees or other objects and killed. Shore
birds. when facing a gale. will take every
advantage of trees, houses and hills as de-
lenses against the wind. They will close
tne.f wings and SINK close TO the ground
as 10 get the protecting shelter of a hedge
renee, anu then swoop up again with re-
newed Roadway They frequently advance
before the gale by series of side eyolr-
tons. hying at right angles TO the wind nm
I'll they have attained considerable velocity
and then, wheeling about straight against
the wind-and making some Roadway be-
fore II overcomes them. This operation js
repeated continually until the desired place
is reached.
During our fall and early winter gales
PartridSes and quail are quite frequently
Diown out TO sea by a strong hurricane
where some of them have been picked up
BY fishermen In nearly all such instances
they are caught by the gale when high in
the air, and before they can recover. Them
selves they are hurried out beyond the
shore and dropped into the water. With
their plumage soaked with the spray they
instantly become helpless. and cannot rea ii.
the shore In the face of the wind. On our
Inland lakes and rivers this is a more com
mon sight than along the ocean shore.
When once Blown out to sea the shore
birds have little chance of escape Unable
to battle against the heavy wind they Yield
themselves TO their fate and drift about
until the storm subsidies. By that time
they are likely to be so far from shore that
they cannot reach II again. and they either
fly or swim until they starve to death or
die of exhaustion Their dead bodies along
with those of the hapIess gulls, terms ard
herons. are finally drifted upon some shore
where the waves leave them high and dry.
After every heavy storm hundreds of such
luckless victims can be found on the
beaches Of our Atlantic coast.

When Russia has coined it's two hundred
million gold rubles 1t will virtually take
rank as a country with a gold currency.
1t will attain that position by having in a
measure driven the provider of it's ex-
cessive gold holdings near the verge of
silver monometalism. Nobody knows just
how much American gold is stored in the
vaults of the Bank of st. Petersburg, but
the amount is not small.
