just above the wash of the breakers He
evidently had fallen from the cliffs and
his body had been carried out to sea.
LOUIS, who was warm blooded boy,
1hourned bitterly for the man, to whom
he had been dearer than son. But after
the legal period, Comte Pierre DIX was adj
judged to be dead, and his nephew succeeded
10 his title and estate. He married Renee.
About two months after this time a
second hand book shop on a quiet back
street of Philadelphia was bought by an
old man whom the neighbors declared to
be a foreigner, though his English was
purer than their own. He was always
scrupulously clean, but shabbily dressed.
Back of the shop were little chamber
and kitchen, which an old Negress kept in
order for him. He cooked for himself On
the shop door he nailed the card of Mr..

neighborhCod ran in and out of the shop

best friend. He was always ready to talk
and laugh with them. But to the rest of
the world, even his book loving cronies,
he was silent, man without past or a
future. 1t was noticed that he subscribed
to no paper But once a month he went
down to the old Mechanics Library, where
a newsp per from the lower French prov
inces was taken, and pored over it with
greedy eyes.

APPLE BITTER ROT.

! Certain Conditions of Weather Favor
Its Development.
Marked differences in susceptibility
Of varieties of apples to bitter rot have
], been noted While no list can be given
that will apply to all regions, yet in
general the Yellow Newtown or Abe
marie Pippin. Rhode Island. Willow.
i Huntsman, Northern Spy, Ben Davis.
! York Imperial. Grimes and Winesap
are subject to the disease almost il the
order of enumeration. the Yellow New
town seeming to he most liable to Sc
rious loss.
Certain conditions Of weather inhu
ence the spread of the disease. 1t is
favored by hot, moist temperature,
the fungus being very dependent upon
the combination Of high temperature
and moisture for it's development.
During cool, dry summers little Of the
disease may be expected, and an out
break may be checked If the mean
temperature falls to and remains at or
below 20 degrees f. for a few days.
Spraying With Bordeaux.
In spraying experiments reported by
W. NJ. Scott, Of the bureau of plant i'll
dustry, the bordeaux mixture used IN
the experiments was composed OF five
pounds Of copper sulphate, five pounds
Of lime and fifty gallons Of water. 1t
Is shown that bitter rot can be con
trolled by four applications Of bor-
deaux mixture If applied at the proper
times and in thorough manner. The
first application should be made about
five or six weeks after the trees bloom,
followed by others at intervals Of
about two weeks. BY this method the
experimenter was able to save from
SO to IS per cent Of sound fruit ON the
trees, while on adjoining trees that
were not sprayed the fruit was total
loss.
In Hot, Moist Summers.
In dry, cool seasons the intervals be-
tween the later spraying may be in
creased. while in hot, moist summers
the intervals should be shortened and
the number Of applications increased.
II for any reason the spraying is not
begun until after the bitter rot has
made its appearance ON the young
fruit, the trees should be given at in
tervals OF only few days two thor
ough sprayings. to be followed by ap-
plications as described above.
