Visitors 10 France may go out Of
their way to gaze upon the quaint
architecture and crumbling houses OF
Epernay or the Roman antiquities and
grand old cathedral Of Rheims. but the
real towns Of Champagne are to be
looked for underground These are
the bustllng, busy places where the
business Of Champagne is carried on.
They are OF vast extent American and
British workingmen would probably
not trouble themselves to obtain em-
ployment in underground Champagne.
Day after day the work-people leave
the outer world for eleven and twelve
hours at time to discharge duties
which, II not particularly arduous,
must be wearisome by reason OF their
monotony. An intelligent Frenchman
ASSURED a writer in the Royal Maga-
zine that he had worked below ground
for nearly forty-fve years His duties
consisted in shaking bottles to dis
lodge the sediment. He said that he
had shaken ffty-fYe bottles a minute
1uring each working day Of twelve
hours for these forty-fye years. and
then asked the writer to calculate how
many bottles he had shaken. Ii is no
great wonder that after a moments
consideration the visitor took to his
heels Underground Champagne has a
reputation for producing good wines.
but according to the writer the busl-
ness tends TO sour the dispositions OF
the workers. He found most Of them
taciturn not to say misanthroDical. In
one cellar at Epernay he came across
an old man who assured him that the
place was filed with ghosts and COB
Inns.
It Is hard to realize that underneath
the primitive villages where the vine
yards grow there are springing up
subterranean cities OF great import
ance. but this is the case. Men must
search below. and not above. ground

the people Of Champagne.

Growing Apples Successfully.

Good apple trees can be grown on
almost any rich soil, but one rich in
potash is best suited for fruit grow
ing. If time were no object | would
prefer to grow my trees from the seed.
Get pomace from the cider mill, WASH
out the seeds and dry them. About
enc peck of seed can be secured from
100 bushels of pomace. Prepare plot
thoroughly and SOW about 20 seeds
to the running foot, having previously
soaked them in warm water. When
the trees are two or three years old,
graft or bud with the varieties de-
sired. Grating seems to be most pop
ulaG, but | prefer budding. When the
trees are five years old, they are ready
to set in the orchard.
For the first few years but little
pruning is necessary, the aim being to
produce a tree that will head near the
ground. Such trees bear earliest and
are most easily picked. Give the young
trees frequent, shallow cultivation.
like to turn hogs in the orchard. Trees
seem to thrive under these conditions.
If near good market early apples are
the most profitable. Grow those with
good flavor of fair size and fine ap-
pearance. Get the trees to bearing
while young, as old trees are not prof
liable. Watch for the borer.
In my opinion it make little differ
ence whether the trees are produced
in the north or south. After the bloom
is secured the character Of the bios
som determines largely the character
of the fruit. Ii the blossoms are open
and the stamens prominent fertilza-
ton is much more likely to occur.
Trees which produce closed blossoms
are of little value. Pick and pack
winter apples tightly in barrels. They
seem to keep best when put up in this
way. | know an orchard which last
year paid the owner $122 per acre.

sibilities of Editors,

Upon publishers and upon EDITOR
rests a responsibility says Mr. Allen
in Harpers. "They will fail both of
their duty and of their high privilege
in so far as they yield to the impor-
tunities of a capricious popular taste.
II they surrender their business to
wholly mercantile purposes, regard
less of the best interests of literature,
and compete with each other in this
facile and fatal descent, then a gen
eral publishing syndicate, upon a
purely mercantile basis, will be as
natural and inevitable in its applica-
ton to literature as it has become in
the control of railroads and the pro-
duction of steel. Fortunately, the
great publishers of books and periodi.
Gals in this country have maintained a
united front against perilous tenden-
cies, and their competition has been
in the line of ascent"
