The Apple Crop of 1904.

A bumper apple crop is the report
from all districts, from the valleys of
Colorado to the greening orchards of
Maine. There are literally apples
everywhere, and they are sound and
rosy and big and JUICY, and the 1904
crop is estimated at 10000, 900 barrels,
or nearly enough for a barrel each
for every person in the United States.
The crop is twenty-five per cent
larger than last years and seventeen
per cent better than the average for
the past ten years.
It is true that apples are not as
fashionable as they were before tropi-
cal fruits became common, but to
many tastes they are superior to
oranges or bananas, and they are un-
doubtedly healthful.
Your doctor will tell you that three
or four apples day, and as many
more as you care to eat, will have a
direct beneficial effect on your system.

The hunting party is made up of
hunters from the cities of Bemidii,

and the plan is to form a circuit of
the dense swamps in which the moose
is said to live, and gradually. move
in on him, in the hopes that he may
be captured. The matter at first was
considered something of a joke, but
the results of the trip made by the
scout and guide in establishing the
existence of the "devil moose" has
resulted in the formation of hunting
party, to be made up of over a. hun
dred men, and there will be ''some-

Fritz Seifert, the hermit of St. Au-
gusta, Stearns county, is dead. For
nearly half a century he has occupied
a little log hut, built by his own hands
and located upon a small piece of
ground upon which he raised such few
vegeta bles as were necessary for his
livelihood. He died at the age of
seventy-two years, as he lived, unat-
tended and alone. Seifert has been
there as long as the memory of the
Oldest settler extended, and no one
seems to have ever found out the
reason of his solitary life. When he
was taken i'll no one knew Of it, but
some days later a neighbor passing
by the hut saw the old man on his
cot. He hurried on to town to send a
physician out, but when the doctor
reached there he was dead. The town
authorities have taken charge of the
remains.

The Wink Test.

''It is easy, said an eminent oculist,
to tell what kind of light most
thoroughly suits the eyes. The light
that is best for you is the one wherein
you wink least. The wink, you see, is
the eye sign of WEAKNESS. I have ex-
perimented on myself and I find that
an electric light is even better for my
eyes than daylight. In daylight I
wink 2.8 times minute, where in the
electric light only wink 1.8. Candle
light is bad for me, in it I give SIS
winks minute. Gas light is better
than candle light for in it I wink "a
winks per minute.
''This wink tests of light is not my
own invention, German opthalmol-
ogist originated it and it is regarded
on all sides as accurate and good. D
