PACKING APPLES.

In packing apples for market first
assert them, so that they will run
uniform in size and quality. Pack in
sound, clean barrels-barrels with
fiat hops preferred. Turn the upper
head down, take out the lower head
and place a large sheet of white paper
next the head then pack the first
layer of apples with the stem ends
upon the head. Pack the second
tier, but ver the apples; then
fill the apples without bruising the
fruit. Shake down thoroughly, ana
fill so that the head must be pressed
in with a lever or barrel press; then
fasten the head. turn the barrel over
and mark plainly the name OF t9e
variety contained. Extra care any
labor in packing enhances the vaiuf
when selling.

May Supersede Flax.

The possibility of Brazil developing
a plant from which a fiber equal to
the best linen can be produced is the
subject of an interesting report from
Consul General Anderson. The expert
ments so far have proved successful.
AS the plant could be cultivated with
much less cost than flax, the world
will. be the gamer if it serves the
same purpose as flax.

c hauffeur Among Minino Camps.

A type of the twentieth century
mining camp is the desert chauffeur
who opened the trail of traffic be-
tween Tonopah and Goldfeld, New,
and later drove his machine on south
to the camps of the Bullfrog district.
He is distinctly picturesque and is as
thorough-goin a pioneer in his way
as the freighter is In his.

Origin of Oxygen.

Lord Kelvin once showed that all
the oxygen in the atmosphere prob

on plants. When the earth was a
globe of hot liquid it contained no
vegetable fuel, and Vrobably no free
oxygen. But as it Cooled off plants

MIGHT APPEY FARTHER.

Unitedg States Judge Mcpherson OF
Kansas City, in sentencing the New
Yorks freight brokers for violation of
thesinterstate laws, declared that the
giver of a, rebate was as guilty as the
taker. Applied to vote buying, this
view of looking at an evil might do
much+ toward purifying elections. The
manSwhossells his vote in Indiana is
guilty of. a crime, though up to the
present time there is no statute which
can be depended upon to punish the
man who makes the bargain and gives
the money. The rebate evil is one
which affects certain lines of COM
merce directly and all business indi-
rectly, but the vote buying evil is one
which Is even broader in it's infiu-
ence. These are the times of 'refor-
nation and 1t would not be amiss
while great corporations are being
made to toe the mark to begin the
work of purifying the ballot box.

HIGHER INSURANCE.

Just now, when Richmond's fire pro-
lection is to be increased with the adj
dition of new department and when
there is certainly no more risk today
in insuring Richmond property of all
kinds than there was three months
ago, the insurance companies will, it
is said, boost the rates on certain
classes of property. OF course there
is a reason therefor, and the insurance
companies believe that it is a good
one. The great losses sustained in
the San Francisco fire must be partly
madevup.s tit is declared, IL these COM
panies are to live and continue to give
protection TO the man who loses by
fire. Probably it Is all true and per-
haps, also there is no other means by
which the insurance companies can
recuperate, but as general PROPOSE
ton the insured do not relish the idea
ofsincreased rates. Up to the pres
emit, however, Richmond underwriters
have not been ordered to change the
rates, though in view of the fact that
the new schedule is effective already
in several Indiana cities, it is reason
able to suppose that the same thing is
to happen here.

Ohio politicians are in q terrible
stew over the complications which
have arisen relative to the legality OF
certain legislative measures which
were enacted at time when the late
Governor Pattison was seriously i'll
and in fact, was .deIirious. 1t is as
serted that number of the laws now
on the statute book ais a result of the
last legislatures work, are null and
void. because the law provides that
they must be presented" to the gov
ernor for approval or rejection. This
was impossible during the last month
of the legislatures life, for Governor
Pattison was in no condition to give
any thought to affairs of state. The
Cincinnati sTimes-Star says:
The matter presents many novel
and interesting features, but 1t is well
not to anticipate the work of the
courts
Ii is to be hoped that when the
question reaches the courts, that or
the broad grounds of public policy the
final decision will be delayed until the
legislature is in regular session again
Then, IL it becomes necessary to re
enact the legislation. If desirable. 4
can be done in a regular and orderly
manner The laws will have been Civ

mistakes have been made in any O

clared invalid, a special session woult
at once be necessary and the re-enact
ment of all urged without regard t
merit or demerit.
