William Wakefield, the apple
king of western Oregon, came down
from his home on Little Elk Tues
day evening aud fingered a couple
of days taking orders for apples
and having fun with his young
friends. There is no flaw in Mr..
Wake6eld's title as given above.
His apples beat the civilized world;
also Spain and the Philippine ISL
ands. We have some specimens OF
the Dutch Mignon grown by him
that are sublimely awful. We will
cut one of them in thirty days,
when they become nice and mellow
and invite all our local readers in
to sample it.
This has been good week for
ducks. Speaking of ducks, Will
Buoy says there is no better duck
than a fish duck. His friend Frank
Williams, mentioned elsewhere in
these columns, went out duck
shootinga a few days ago and treated
him to pair of fine young email
lards, nicely dressed. After the
birds had been properly enjoyed
Mr.. Buoy was asked if he would
trade dog salmon for fish duck.
Mr.. Williams counter joke may
result in making fish ducks popu-
lar, as the depot man says they are

Their Diet and stimulants Are Of Great
Importance.

Their Diet and stimulants Are Of Great
Importance.
Hard-working men, especially in the
learned professions, are often puzzled
as to the right hours for their meals
and the right diet to be taken at their
meals. The much graver question Of
stimulants also interests them person.
ally. The fear Of a midday meal Is
very common among brain-workers. A
good luncheon is apt to interfere with
inspiration, especially il any form Of
alcohol be taken. Tea, very popular
with scholars, is less Objectionable as
to its immediate effects, especially
among scholars, who like w~orkwomen,
nearly always take too much and pre-
fer their tea to be strong, red a.
blood" as Garrick used to say. The
chief danger in taking too light a
midday meal is that the student ia at
his worst, physically, just before din
uer time. Hence, dinner is rendered a
fresh source of dyspepsia, and II he
strolls about before the evening meal
be is apt to take cold. i
The special stimulants Of great men
have been recorded in their memoirs.
One OF the most remarkable records OF
this kind has come to light in Au-
brey's Brief Lives" founded on notes
taken by the author in the middle OF
the seventeenth century. Few drinks
are more distrusted among brain
workers these days than ale, but
Pyrnne seems to have thought other
wise. He was a voluminous
writer, and his pamphlets lost
him his eyes and endangered
him his head. Aubrey informs
Us that about every three hours his
(Prynne's) man was to bring him a
roll and a pot Of ale to refocillate his
wasted spirits. So he studied and ate
and drank and munched bread, and
this maintained him till night, when
he ate a good supper. Now, he did well
not to dine, which breaks off ones
fancy, which will not presently be re-
gained" The danger of a prior1 rea-
soning may be seen from the above
quotation. Those who have forgotten
about Prynne would take him. from
this note Of his diet, to be a bohemian
Of a well-known old-fashioned type;
yet he was a stern, uncompromisins
puritan who suffered mutilation and
the pillory, and had a violent AMI very
unbohemian prejudice against the
stage. The diet does not then proclaim
the man. We doubt, however, Ii the
serious student Of the end OF the nine
tenth century would do well to "re-
tocillate his wasted spirits" by drink.
Ing a pot of ale every three hours.
Prynne was perhaps wise not to dine,
which meant to lunch in those days,
and implied a very hearty meal. But
the munching of rolls all day and the
good supper" were questionable. His
style was very c~austic, perhaps be-
cause of the misrule of Charles l., but
possibly, also, through dyspepsia
which also had so disastrous an infu-
ence on the literary temper Of Thomas
Carlyle.

Lord Stratford's Awkward Blunda1
When He Met Mrs. Colgate

When He Met Mrs. Colgate.
The earl Of Stratford, who arrived a
few days ago to marry Mrs. Colgate
and her $4,000, 900, is getting on in
years, and charitable people, on that
account, explain an embarrassing mis-
take he is alleged to have made on
coming ashore from the steamer. Mrs.
Colgate stood with a party of friends
waiting to receive him. IS his lord
ship approached she advanced and
held out her hand, which the earl at
once took. The lady expressed de-
light at seeing him and hoped that
he was well. He answered that he
was, and forthwith Mrs. Colgate be-
gan to introduce her friends. After
all had been presented the earl said
with a smile: But where is Mrs.
Colgate? suppose she is at her hotel;
let Is repair there at once" A smile
passed W. the faces of the members
Of the party. Mrs. Colgate seemed
struck with the huuor of the situation,
but her wit came 70 her rescue. why.
my lord" she said, lis it possible that
! have changed so greatly since we
last metz" For just a second Lord
Stratford seemed a trife nonplused.
Then he said, with the courtly obeis,
ance of az old beau: my dear Mrs.
Colgate, the change has apparently
made you so young looking that I
demand pardon for a natural mistake"
The widow was unable to conceal hen
delight at the reply, and in a few
moments the party entered carriages
and drove away. IIl-natured people
hint that the earl was not sufficiently
well acquainted with his 1ancee to
pick her out Of a crowd, and that his
mistake arose from that cause. Mrs.
Colgate is a sister Of Sydney Smith.
She is handsome and possesses q for
time Of about $40. 200, 600. Before hen
marriage to Samuel J. Colgate, mill
lienaire soap manufacturer and bank
er. she was Miss Cora Smith, daughter
Of Judge Smith of New Orleans. Mr..
Colgate and his soap won a great deal
OF notoriety at the time Of his death
by the provision in his will which be-
Queathed a large sum to Hamilton col
lege, In Western New York, on condi-
ton that it be renamed Colgate"
The students made a great howl over
this. It offended their dignity. The
graduating class refused to graduate
under any other name than Hamilton.
They could not be made to believe
that Colgate" was as sweet.
