APPLES GOING TO WASTE.
Why Connecticut's Crop Is Too
Great to Market.

The Connecticut apple crop is so
large this fall that the farmers are at
q loss to know what to do with their
fruit, and thousands of bushels Of the
finest kind are rotting on the ground,
says a dispatch from Greenwich to the
New York Tribune. Twenty-Five cents
a busheI is about the best 9price that
can be obtained for sorted, hand picked
apples. If barrels could be procured,
the farmers say they might ship large
quantities to England and even to the
Philippines, but they cannot procure
them. Everything in the shape of
barrel commands a high price, the
most dilapidated old things that will
hardly hold together selling for 80
cents each.
Another trouble in harvesting the
fruit is the inability to secure help to
pick it. No farm hands can be hired,
the men preferring to work in the
shops and factories Of the cities. Ev
cry cider mill, however, in the state is
running to its utmost capacity. This rs
about the only use that can be made of
the surplus, and there are not enough
mills in the state to consume it all be-
fore the season is over Most Of the
cider will be made into vinegar and
sent south, where large price is paid
for it by the proprietors of the picking
factories.

THE ART OF BLACKMAIL.
1t has Reached a High Stage of
Refinement in Paris.

In Paris the art OF blackmail has
been carried to high stage of refine
ment by the use of the carrier pigeon.
The inventor of the system thus ex-
plains how it works: sit is very
simple: when you have got hold of
some one by the threat of sensational
revelations, of awkward documents,
or. more simply, when you have stolen
some deeds which you are ready to re-"
store for fair consideration, you are
always pretty sure to get caught in
going to the postoffice to get the reply
with the cash. With my plan there
are simply no risks. You send the
bird in basket TO your client with
little note to this effect: eff within
twentY-four you do not set the pigeon
at liberty after having fastened under
its wing the 1000 franc notes, you
will catch IT. f" This is pleasantly
called lie vol au vol robbery on the
wing(.

GOLDING'S LATEST FIND.
Sea Captain Gives the Bronx Zoo
Animal of Unknown Family.

After a battle with twenty -fo0r
foot python, after tanning a huge Man
churian leopard and after puzzling the
scientists at the Bronx zoo with a
strange and curious beast that has new
er been seen in the United States be-
fore, Captain Golding of the British
ship Afridi, which arrived recently at
New York, does not feel that his last
voyage was lacking in interest and ex-
citement, says the New York Ameri-
can.
The strange animal that has caused
Mr.. Hornaday of the Bronx zoo to adj
NIT that he does not know what it is
is small white creature that looks
something like a fox, but more like a
raccoon. 1t is about two feet long and
eight inches high. It's nose and head
are raccoon shaped, its fore quarters are
shaped like those Of fox, and so is
it's tail, but it's hind quarters are fat
and bunchy, like coon's. 1t is pure
white, with the exception Of black
patch over it's eyes.
ne JdpdueSe cali IL WulCe IOA,
said Captain Golding, "but that is not
what it is. 1 got it in Yokohama, and
it is certainly a very curious specimen"
Captain Golding began the collection
Of geological specimens for the Bronx
zoo about five years ago. Mr.. Horna-
day commissioned him to collect speci-
mems whenever he made trips AS he
circles the globe on his ship about three
times every two years, he has splendid
opportunities to secure rare specimens.

MICA FROM FOREIGN MARTS.
Its Importation Tends to Cur
tail Our Production.

The importation of mica from Cana
da and India te nds to curtail the pro-
duction in the United States, especial
ly the India mica, which can be i'm
ported at cost lower than that for
which it can be mined in this country.
There was an increase last year in the
production of plate mica IN North
Carolina. The use of mica for stoves
chimneys, ETC., has increased greatly,
but still more the use of small circular
disks and rectangular pieces of mica
for insulation purposes and for electro
cal apparatus. Ground scrap mica is
used in the manufacture of wall pa
pers, lubricants, etc. Scrap mica also,
arranged on q wire net coil and then
pressed into proper shape is used very
satisfactorily as boiler tube cover
ing, mica being non-conductor of
heat.

TAKEN FOR SANTA CLAUS.
A Models Novel Experience on a
Cable Car.

Ernst Kupfer, Il model well known
in the New York studios, had an un-
usual experience Oh his way uptown
in a Broadway car in New York recent
ly. Mr.. Kupfer is the possessor OF an
abundance of white hair and flowing
beard. A little girl sitting opposite
him whispered very audibly to her
mother:
Mamma, see! There's Santa Claus!
"Hush," said her mother THAT S
but a gentleman.
However, the little one was not to be
so easily satisfied, so she continued to
smile at Mr.. Kupfer, and he, taking
from his pocket some pictures he had
inst posed for as Santa Claus, handed
them to the little lady. OverJoyed, she
called out:
"See, mamma; was right! 1t Is
Santa Claus, it is. And now l have a
chance I'm going to tell him what |
want for Christmas" So without more
ado she changed seats and began to
pour her astounding number of wishes
in the old gentlemans ear.-New YORK

CAN'T KEEP FAMILY SECRETS
How Mr.. Knox Spells Surprise
Planned by His Wife

Attorney General Knox is said to
keep a business secret to perfection,
but when it comes to family affairs
he will divulge secrets and carefully
planned surprises with the glee of a
bad boy, and this he did in New York
just before sailing for Europe, says the
Washington correspondent of the Chi
cago Tribune. When Mrs. Knox was
last in Pittsburg, she had a pianola
Grated for their youngest child, Phi
lander, and shipped it to Washington.
She rented a piano suitable for use in
a small boys room and attached the
mechanical device. 1t was all intend
ed as a surprise for the little son, who,
with his sister and brother, was still
at Atlantic City.
The attorney general entered into
the spirit of the surprise with delight.
Just before leaving Washington he tel
egraphed Miss Knox and her brothers
to meet him in New York preparatory
to his departure for Europe. OF course
little Phil, who is the attorney gener-
ais chum, went with them. Doubt
less running short of other small con-
Versation and wishing to be agreeable
his father diYulged the secret OF the
pianola. When Phil arrived in Wash
ington day later, his mother told him
she had a surprise for him. "Is it the
pianola?" asked the youngster. The
case is hopeless. The attorney general
cannot keep family secret, much to
the distress of his amiable wife, and
the bad habit extends to birthdays and
Christmas n well
