The apple Crop.

That the apple crop is actually worth
more in cash annually than the wheat
crop is a fact The entire apple crop
for 1900 was 215, 100000 barrels. These,
at So per barrel, would mean $43O,-
900, 900. The wheat crop does not aver
age in value much over $500, ,000, 900.
The meaning of this is that we have
got the worlds market for our fruit
and are exporting nearly 100000 bar
rels per year. These bring in the Euro
pean markets nearer 81 barrel than
50. And still the export trade is in
creasing every year. American fruit
has known worth from ST. Petersburg

A rerfect Pedigree.

If we were to buy an animal for
breeding purposes we should insist
upon a perfect pedigree or should re-
fuse to pay any fancy price. But what
constitutes a perfect pedigree? 1t is
not long line of descent from some fa-
nous animal, nor yet one in which we
can trace several crosses of his blood,
but we think it is one in which we can
find no ancestor of grade lower than
what we are seeking to establish or
perpetuate. Each and every one should
be as good or better than its predeces-
sor, and the stock should show indica-
tions of Improving in each generation.
With such pedigree the increase
would never go back if the proper care
was given, but would produce better
results all of the time.-New England
Farmer.

days the villagers have to indulge in the
doubtful pleasure of a game of bottle kick

certain preliminaries have to be gone
through. Two large meat pies and two
dozen penny loaves have to be scrambled
for. A huge wooden bottle, bound round
with iron rims and containing ale, Is
thrown on the ground and the men of the
neighboring village OF Melbourne have TO
wrest 1t from the Hallatonian grasp. 1t is
hardly necessary to add that the struggle
Is invariably provocative of a good many

Drastic Treatment for Hiccouphs

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
A Binghamton man began to hiccough
last Saturday. He hiccoughed up all day
and all night, and was hard at it Sunday
morning. Every remedy that his alarmed
friends gave him seemed to accelerate the
hics. People sent in from all over town
and recommended sure cures. And he
steadily grew worse.
Then a wise neighbor had bright idea
He thought tall out by himself He went
over to the hiccoughers home. and was
ushered into the room where the afflicted
one was fast hiccoughing his life aWay
"Hullo!' said the neighbor, in a light and
cheerful tone; "how's the old soak this
morning."
Dor in panied surprise.
Don't give me any of your crocodile
glances, snorted the friend. IF you'd
quit drinking when 1 told you to you
wouldn't be in this shameful condition.
"Wha-hic-ats th-hic-at?' gasped the
sick man.
"oh, don't come any of your innocent
business on mel" cried the neighbor Il
know you, you old Sponger'
The hiccougher's face turned red
"What-hic-did you-hic-call, me?" he slut
tered.
Called you sponge, you lobsterr' bel
ject lesson for your unfortunate children
amt you, you gulping old hypocrite?"
Get out or -hfc-houser' roared the
sick man.
Go to blazes!" yelled the neighbor. I'm
going to stay right here and see the last
of you. The people on the street sent me
over. Wait until the old Wolfe's gone
they said, and then wave a flag out o. the
window They're going to have a jollifica-
ton supper and fireworks tonight-and
don't you dare to disappoint 'emr'
This was too much for the hiccougher.
He said several very bad words as he made
a dash at the neighbor, and they raced
around the room a half dozen times, the
hiccougher getting madder at every jump
and then the neighbor darted through the
door and escaped.
The sick man flung a flower pot at him
as he raced down the yard, and then he
suddenly realized that his hiccoughs had
gone
For that was a part of the neighbor's
theory, you see. He believed that If he
could get the dying man real excited and
angry that affliction would leave him. And
he proved he was right.

From the Academy.
AS a rule the only things that fascinate
the tourist in a Japanese play are the
quaintness of the stage arrangements and
the weird unintelligibility of the acting.
The stage is enormous, and the actors reach
it by walking through the audience on two
platforms extending from the back Of the
auditorium to the footlightS. Properties
are removed during the performance by at
tendants in black cloaks who are supposed
to be invisible AS a rule, two long plays
are presented consecutively with a tableau
between, and the performances begin at 10
in the morning. You leave your shoes at
one of the many tea houes around the the
ater and enter your box to find it supplied
with a tobacco box. tea and cakes, with
luncheon to come. The voices on the stage
at once strike you as hard and artificial
and either too shrl or too gruff But the
reason is plain. "The traditional samisen
three-stringed guitar, follows the per-
former like a curse from start to finish
Unless he pitched his voice above or below
its notes he could not be heard" There Is
no doubt of the effect on the audience Es-
pecially do the wonderful facial expressions
OF the actors work upon the women. A
rush to the tear room during a pathetic
passage is quite common. There the sus-
ceptible playgOer may weep her heart out
in comfort.
AS men and women are not allowed to
appear on the same stage. the female parts
are taken by men; on the other hand at
some theaters, where the performers are
all women, you may see male parts Sis
tanned by actresses. This is only one among
the many conventions and restrictions
winch hamper the drama in japan Another
is the extraordinary ascendancy of the ac-
tor over the author. A successful actor is
the darling of the people, purses are thrown
at ms feet as he walks toward the stage
and love letters are sent to his dressing
room for 'the Japanese matinee girl is
very susceptible" He may make e. 600 in
four weeks: The author is only one mem
