GERMANY'S SMALL APPLE CROP.

Washington, Oct. 25.-Gernlany is about to have an apple crcp smaller in quantity and poorer in quality than has been gathered in recent ysars, accord ing to United States Consul General Frank Mas-n at Frankfort. Cider ap- rles this year command three times the usual price, he says, and no cider will be made outside of Nuremberg. Even cooking apples Of an infecior grade are HOW selling at F'rankfcrt from to g cents per pound. This deficiency is said to extend more CT less generally to France, the Tyrol, Bohemia and northsrn Italy, so that the conditions favor a large importation Of American apples. Whether this will be practi- cable or not will dEpend upan. first, the supply in the United States, and second. the spirit in which the German officials enforce Inc inspection l1w. MT

lady, friend of his mothers, who left him her entire property at her death.
 
 The Petres are SC grand and illustri- ous a family, and held such high rank among the old Roman Catholic aris- tccracy Of Great Britain, that the ar rest and committal for trial Of the Hon. Philip Pstre, younger brother and heir cif the present Lcrd Petre, the fourteenth peer since the creation Of the title in 1903, is somewhat of 9 shock to those who believe in the old saying of "Ncblesse oblige.'
 The elder brother and predecessor of the present Lc-d Patre was in holy hold, and enjoyed the distinction Of having been the only Roman Catholic preiate who had ever occupied seat in the house of lcrds since the days of the reformation. Three of his sisters are nuns, as are several Of his cousins, while other cousins are priests and pre- lates cf the Roman Catholic church.
 It is evident, however, that neither the present Lord Petre nor the Hon. Philip has much in common with these p:ous relatives. For, only a short time ago Lord Petre was arrested and fined in a L0ndcn pclice cour, for nocturnal larking. which consisted in jumping upon ths bcx of hanson and racing it down Piccadilly against another cab, the match being brought to a conclu- sion by q disastrous collision. resulting in the complete wreck Of both cabs.
 A curious custom in the Petre fam fly is that On the burial Of any one Of their names, one widow fer every year cf the dead Petre's life receives a new gold sovereign and g loaf of bread Thus, when the late peer died at tha age Of 47, forty-seven poor widows re ceived this gift.
 Although the family property amounts to about 20,000 acres, yet there are SC many charges upon it that the present bearer of the title is very badly off.-Marqu;se de Fontenoy in Washington Post.

WHAT GIRLS ARE DOING.

One of the most effective and crigi- nal entertainments to get up at this season of the year is what is called in the country tha harvest festival, and it may be just as easily arranged in town as cut of 1t. A number of young girls who live in ons of the attractive vil- lages in Morris county are preparing to give harvest festival this month, and they will charge admission to it, so as to raiss sufficient money to buy an or gan-nct an organ for church, but 8 regular street organ, the kind pulled about the streets by the Italians. And when this organ is bought thsy intend to hire weekly small hall or room, where they will teach the village girls" how to dance. The winter even ings are long and dreary for farmers daughters, and even for some Of the many young women who spend thair lives in rushing to New York and back to earn a livelihood. So this amateur dancing school will give them amuse- ment and relaxation wlen the work of the day is done.
 Now the harvest festival will be ar ranged in this way: Invitations, or cards rather, stating price Of admis- sicn will be sent out ten days before hand-f dmission twenty-five cents, So S!l can come The schcoI house in the village, being ths most central spot, las been secured. The girls who have charge Of the entertainment will have erected at enc end of the hall large wooden stand, composed Of 2 cOmbina- ton cf narrow ledgss CT shelves, grad uating from the entire width of the room to a point at the top. On this are to be ,astefully and artistically ar ranged every scrt Of vegetable and fruit which can be begged. borrowed, Or stclen" from the whole country around. At the bottom will be potatoes, pump kins, squash. i1 fact, all the larger and more bulky things. Then, all the way up to the top, a. sort Of beautiful pyramid will be made, carrots with their brilliant gold, egg plant with its beautiful purple, celery with it's deli case white stalks tipped with green, beets, oranges vegetable marrowS, grapes-all hobncbbing together in close proximity, and trimmed off with ! punches and sprays Of parsley and wa ter-cress-will be there. The girls in- sist that nothing like it was ever seen. They have get hold of good idea for decora ing the walls. They have bcught some fine wire netting, and will suspend it from the tCp, and will then cov5r the walls entirely with branches of autumn leaves, and golden-rod, Michaelmas daisies. and any other au- tumn wild flower they can g2t.
 Of course there will be ice cream and cake to sell; fancy article table will be another attraction; and a still great CT enc will be some good music, both vocal and instrumental, which will be rendered by some Of the girls who are the promoters of the scheme. The fes- tivai will bs open from il a. m. to 10 D. m.. and the end of the ev5ning is to be made amusing and interesting by the aucticneering eff of the fruits and vegetables which played such an i'm portant part in the decoration Of thS school house.-Harper's Bazar.
