AT this time of year it will doubtless
be of interest to many to know just what
the dimensions ofa standard apple bar
rel are. They are Ia inch head, 2Sl inch
slaves and 64 inch bulge. The law says
you must pack apples for market in no

The word "Mister. should never be
used in newspaper except to designate
sex. No dignity is added to the character

to indicate sex, it is not only superhuous,
but silly.-Er.

let loose by two or three foot rise in the
| Allegheny at this time.

This is the season for typhoid fever,
says an exchange. Physicians say that
much of the sickness could be avoided at
this time of the year if little precaution
were exercised in taking care not to get
chilled at night. The nights are now get
ting cooler, although sleeping rooms may
be warm at retiring time, and this change
of cold nights and warm days is the
strongest factor in putting the system in
form that the fever germs, which are
usually present i'm small numbers no
matter what time of the year, become ac-
tive.
