THE GREAT APPLE CROP
A. Peculiarly Of the fruit-lhe Marketing
Of the Crop

OF the Crop
The largest of the estimates made a
month ago of last years enormous ap-
pie crop on this continent have been
more than verified as far as verification
is possible. The crop was by far the
greatest ever known. A popularity of
many of the apples of this great crop is
that they have ripened after picking
more rapidly than apples usually do.
Many apples are as ripe now as they
ordinarily would be on March l, and this
condition of things exists all over the
United States and Canada. Greetings
especially have ripened and scalded so
that it has been necessary to crowd
many of them on the market in advance
of the time for which they were held.
For example, many greetings that had
been held for February have been put
on the market and sold.
The stock of apples in growers ana
dealers hands is still very heavy, but
the tremendous consumption, due to
the great supply and low prices, espe-
cially in the west and southwest, have
cleaned UP to- a considerable degree
the supplies put away last fall and caus-
ed renewal of inquiry. There is said to
be now a favorable prospect for more
satisfactory sale of the remainder of the
apples held throughout the country
Substantially the same state of affairs
last fall was smaller than usual but the
exports to Europe from American ports
have been far greater than usual. and
they have continued large 1.-THE markets
there have been overstocked at times
and some American shipments have re-
suited in loss to the shipper, the pro-
ceeds not covering the cost of shipment
Extremely low prices have, however,
helped in Europe, as here, to close up
stocks, and there is now a renewed in
quiry for apples from the United King
dom and from continental ports. A
very extensive receiver and shipper of
American apples said that this might
result in such increase of shipments as
to bring about another glut in European
markets; but it was thought that of ap-
Piles hardy enough to export the supplies
remaining are not so great as to make
it impossible for European markets to
take at reasonable prices the quantities
that will be sent. The exports of ap-
pies last week from the United States
and Canada amounted to about $4,000
barrels, of which between 10000 and 40,-
900 barrels were shipped from Halifax.

nation, but merely certified that it had
been observed that nearly all the cul-

he not die from a fall from his horse?

ConfessIo Amantis

When do love you most, sweet boSKY 81
mine?
In strenuous morns when oer your leayes
l pore,
Austerely bent to win austerest lore,
Forgetting how the dewy meadows shine?
Or afternoons when honeysuckles twine
About the seat and to some dreamy shore
OF old romance, where lovers evern1ore
Keep blissful hours, follow at your sign?
Yea! ye are precious then, but most to me
Ere lamplight dawneth, when low croons
the fire
To whispering twilight in my little room;
And eyes read not, but, sitting silently,
1 feel your great hearts throbbing deep in
qure,
And hear your breathing round me in the
gloom.

In Armenian tradition our story Of the
tower Of Babel is called Legend Of the
Tower of Tongues. The orientals say
that the first people were giants in size and
that they undertook To raise "a tower which
should penetrate heaven. They worked at
this task necessarily for years until they
could finally ''see into the very gates OF
paradise. +" Then there came "a mighty
wind from above which blew directly on
the top of the tower with such force that
the structure was driven several miles into
the earthp When they again attempted
to place rocks on the top, their language
was confused. and since that day the ruins
have been called the ruins of the tower of
the confusion of tongues. st. Louis Re-

They were the first to make brooms by
machinery; the first to put up seeds in
little packages; the first manufacture
cut nails. Now they are out with "a
method of curing dyspepsia by resting
the stomach. Their remedy is known
as The Shaker Digestive Cordial. 1t
supplies food in an artificially digested
form and at the same time aids the di-
gestion of other foods in his stomach.
In other words, by the use of the Shak-
er Digestive Cordial, q dyspeptic virtu-
ally gets along without the use of his
stomach until it is restored to its natur-
al strength. A single 10 cent bottle
will oft-times give marked relief. Get
