No, % they 1 did not go for e; ethef people pss We're going, and % they % would not get the worth of their money un- less they took notes of everything, so that they might recall it. have lot of notebooks, about 20 of them. I will sell them cheap. They are filled with things that the professors said while I was at Yale Theological Sem- mary. I thought it would be Of great use to me in after life. l thought, that l would get many a sermon out of them; but haven't. not one. The best place to get sermons is out of life, what people are thinking about, what they are talking about, what they would like to examine. Such people will listen to, but they don't care fig for sermons gotten out of' musty old note books, that, with every passing month, grow more musty "Pan," leave the notebook at home. See all you can, remember what of it you can; but, above all things, enjoy your trip, don't work at it Overhard.
 There are so many things at Buffalo to see besides the exhibits in the build ings. One sight, not advertised as one of the attractions, is the newly welded pair. Why, of course, the "Pan" makes just an ideal place to pass the honeymoon. Niagara S close at hand; and, from time the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, newly welded pairs have been going to Niagara. A young lady remarked to me some time ago, that "every Jack has his Jill" This particular young lady, though having. arrived at the not yet found her Jack, but most Jills do, and most of them go out that way before they settle down to the bread and-bNtter problem. You can tell this species of the genius homo wherever you see them. They generally leave trail behind them, of vegetable that grows in the South. They do not talk d great deal; they more often sit and admire, not the scenery out of the car window, but each other. Every body in the car with them has an in- terest in the pair; they are the ob- served of all observers. Most people, l suppose, of a fanciful turn of mind, in- dulge in little idle speculation as to as to whether their gentle bark shall always sail upon an unruffled sea; but, of course, it is going to have a grace full voyage, for most marriages, the stern old bachelor to the contrary not withStanding, are made in Heaven.
 I meant to say above, when this little aside upon young married couples broke my thread, that could have taken along a notebook, filled it up, cover and all, and written some statis tical articles patterned after the U. s. census reports; but you would not have cared for such articles, and would not have read them. have tried to chat with you about what there was out there between the twin lakes, just as we would chat together around our blazing hearth fire in winter, or in summer uOn. our veranda, while the soft moonlight threw it's pale radiance over us as a silver sheen. As now 1 am spinning my yarn to it's close, 1 want to catch up few threads here and there, just as I pick them up at random anywhere upon the grounds:
 Those were pretty good apples in the Horticultural building to be kept since fall. Cold storage is a great thing, and it has revOlutiOnized the eating, I mean of a man with fat pocketbOok, who has access to a large city market. There are good many things now that used only to be had during a short season, that can now supply his table the year round. Well, when it comes to having strawberry shOrtcake in December and rattle snake watermelons when the crocus peeps out of the ground, d,1'll be ready to vote that the world, gastrOnOmically is ordered right. I believe that the one who addressed a Grange meeting here was about correct when he said ''The farmer who raises the apples and sells them at dollar barrel, gets
 the bottom dollar that pays his taxes, feeds his COWS, and still cOmpels him | to grub. The capitalist who buys the | farmers apples for dollar a barrel il
 the fall, and, keeping them by colo
 storage, sells them for three dollars a
 barrel in the spring, gets the two dol- lars above the bottom dollar that en
 ables him to ride in his carriage anc
 send his family to Europe" Some da, l joining their forces, putting thel
 apples in their own cold storage, an( securing the extra two dollars fo l themselves. Is that time yet tt come
