There's a burnish OF fine scarlet on the pear

Now the glory of the llpe and rich autumnal

The peach is over mellow, and the apple
bends the spray,
And there's honey, yes, there's honey.in the

azure wings
The butterfly clings loosely where the last

Down the dusk OF l nelly garden-aisles the

And the grape upon the trellis is bursting

We sing softly with low voices in a slow and
waking dream,
While far off the breaker feathers in dull
music up the shore.
But by ftful flow and falling there blows q
oding breath,
wind that steals from spaces of unknown
and nameless chill,
And it wraps about our dreaming q darker
dream of death,
And takes the singing from the lip and
makes the music still.

The Home Circle.
Eastward Expansion of The
United States.

No longer can the United States be
said merely to face Europe across the
Atlantic. From the Pacific slope she is
now alsr 10 close communion with the
Asiatic world, and when a trans-isth-
milan canal is made, the bonds that unite
her with Asia will be drawn infinitely
closer.
China and the Far East, facing as they
do the Pacific coast, lie practically at the
back door OF the United States, and it is
obvious that whatever promotes enter
prise in China, or enhances the wealth
and pro Jperity of the people, must react
most fOrCibly on its sea-borne trade, of
which, by means of the new vantage
ground she ia about to enjoy, the United
States stands to reap the first fruit.
Now that the war with Spain is over,
there will be time to devO'e attention to
the important question of eastward ex-
pansion of the United States aud the
place which the United States may be ex-
pected to occupy among the nations OF
the world. On the subject of eastward
expansion Mr. Archibald Z. Colquhoun,
whose book, China in Transformation,
is OF the utmost interest and value geo.
graphically, politically, and CONNER
Cially, has an article in Harper's Maya
zine for October, in which he points out

Science and practice agree on the es-
senCial point of keeping all fruit |
in COOL even temperature. For apples |
lt is best to keep them as near the freez- |
ing point as possible. Some other kinds |
If fruit will not keep in as low a temper |
4ture. But it is very important that the |
temperature should be kept very even |
Tie nearer to the above conditions we |
Can keep our fruit the more successful |
We shall be. A plan that | have been
very we'll satisfied with is 60 pick nv
apples, place them in barrels in the or
chard and store them in my ice house
which is usually nearly empty of ice at
hat time of year. The principal bene-
iiG is that derived from The double board
ing and space of one foot filled with
saWdust, which keeps a &C oil even re
prrature. Several years ago L had quite
a quantity Of Greening apples from one
o1Cnard that gathered nearly at the same
dime. / filed what barrels | had and
placed them in y ice house. The rest,
about one-naif Oh the lot, placed in my
cellar. They were all gathered the first
oarL of October. The lsG of December
those in the collar had become ripe and
yellow while those in the the ice house
were apparently as green as wher put in.
And think my cellar is good one TO
keep apples. | have often had good
sound Bad win apples the ls5 of April,
| sometimes take the trouble to open my
| ice house door nights and let the cool
/ night mir in il the weather is warm.
I AS to gathering apples no rule can be
given. As said before in my paper, a
cool even temperature Is best, and after
an apple has reached maturity I should
say that condition could be best and sur
est obtained by picking the apple.
Pears have a better flavor If picked and
ripened in dark place. The quickest
and best way That ever gather apples is
to take my barrels to the orchard, pick
the apples in bag, pour them from the
bag to the barrel and cart them to the
storeroom. In that way they are not
handled over. When you want to carry
them TO market you will have to sort
them any way. can not refrain from
saying few words about grading the
|, fruit for market. III we were to buy 81
worth Of graduated sugar and when we
came to use it, we should find the
bottom OF the bag filed with brown su-
gar we would say that the grocer was
not honest. But will not the same rule
apply to barrel of apples? Ii we coulC
grade our apples. and in fact all farm
produce, into two or three grades tina
would be uniform, prices would be NOR
uniform and we would get better prices
