An exchange has the following:
''The assistant pomo1ogist of the De-
partment of Agriculture, Mr.. w. A.
Taylor, has two specimens of French
fruit lying on his desk, which if they
could be reproduced in this country
and sold at the prevailing Paris prices,
would net a small fortune per tree to
the orchardist. One is a yellow French
apple, weighing about IL or IA ounces,
which is selling now in France at 35
cents per apple by the hundred. These
apples are counted like eggs; not sold
by the bushel, peck or quarter peck
as are choice apples here. The other
specimen is a. French pear which
weighs 26 ounces, a monster fruit
which more resembles a small pumpkin
Of some kind than a pear. The flesh
of both these fruits is said to be very
delicious. 1t seems singular that the
French do not prize red apples. At the
Exposition the judges could not be-
lieve that American red apples could
be first class, but Mr.. Taylor says they
were forced to an opposite conclusion
after a practical trial of their eating
qualities"
We doubt the truth of the statement
that the French "do not prize red APP
Pies" At the close of the apple ex-
hibit at the Paris Exposition all of the
American apples were sold. There
were several varieties and colors rep
resented, but the w~ell-colored Ben
Davis apples brought the highest price

of the proposition, that fair dealing

It is rather surprising to learn that
our modern cup defenders sail no fas-
ter than a vessel of about the same
size built in 1903. That statement
however, is made by a noted naval ar
chitect of Boston. He declares that
the famous Salem privateer America.
of the war of 1872, sailed faster on her
best point-with the wind on the quar-
ter-than any of the crack racing
yachts Of today. Her log shows that
she frequently made thirteen knots
with the burden of a warship, while
the best speed Of the cup defenders Of
today is little better than fourteen
knots in racing trim. 1t Is an inter.
esting fact that the architect in cues.
ton, a lineal descendant of one of thu
builders Of the %privateer, is himselt
designing a boat to defend the cup thi.
year. He does not expect to surpas,

A will recently filed for probate in
Washington, D. c., brings to light an
interesting bit of history. After serv-

and being personally rewarded by
Queen Victoria with a medal for his
bravery on the field of battle, George
Collins deserted from the British army
and came to the United States. Dur
ing the Diamond Jubilee celebration of
the Queen, he petitioned the throne
for a pardon for desertion and on ac-
count of his own explanation and his
past bravery his request was granted
and a full pardon was issued under
the imperial signature.

The uninitiated generally have a
fond delusion that a dozen means
twelve things, but in trade the dozen
varies greatly. In the Staffordshire
potter1es, for instance, a dozen repre-
sents that number of articles which
can be offered for any fixed price; thus
the dozen varies, the price is constant.
Plates are among the comparatively
few articles which in that trade are
sold in dozens of twelve, and some
things are sold in dozens of sixty, sew
enty and eighty.
