The consumption of evaporated apples must
always be large in the United States. The prod

Southwest. and all the great region west Of the
Mississippi. The European demand is also
large. but the home market VIII always remain
the most important.
Transportation and storage so simple that
evap0ratcd apples are handled with less risk
than almost any other commodity. This condi
ton is well appreciated in the region east of the
Mississippi where the greatest trade mas been

Tho evaporated apple industry is one that has
grown llp without any special advertising or at

place in the worlds commerce and food supply.
The distribution of evaporated apples to con-

GIFT OF s25o,OOo sCHoOLHOUSE.

Mr. Havemeyer's gift Of SloO.OOO school,

the most amusing contests of his life The
plans called for three-story building, and the
work was well under way when T. c. Benedict
with the view from his country place He Of

his own pocket If work on the Havemeyer
building was stopped There were town meet
ings on the subject, and much ill feeling was
aroused
A peace delegation visited Mr. Havemeyer.

plans
You've accepted the schoolhOuse." he de-
clared land now you've got to take it
AS long as they tried to force him TO agree
TO a two story building he was unmovable
Finally Mr. Benedict went to him and said:
See here, HaveTneyer. you don't want to spoil
NV view with this school building Let il stand
at two stories and III build fine gymnasium

Mr Havemeyer agreed TO this neishborly ap-
peal and the threatened feud was nfpped III the
bud.
one of the most amusing lawsuits against
Mr. Havemeyer grew out of his ownership Of the
81 Paul Building. in Broadway. An Italian
bootblack rented in the building Afser
he put up his stand and installed his "blackes

FATE OF THOSE INTERESTED.

Incidentally, il may be OF interest 10 allude
to the extraordinary fate which overlook all
those who espoused the cause of the Dauphin
or who expressed their opinion as to the au-
thenticty of his claims Thus the widow of
Simon, under whose care the Dauphin had lived
in the Temple Prison in 1874 who could have
given valuable evidence to his health and
who could have helped to identify him,
seized immediately after the Bourbon restora-
tiOn. by orders of Louis XVIII. and locked up
as 4 IunatIC in the asylum for the insane at
Bicetre where she died fifteeE years afterWard,
without ever having been restored to liberty.
II is known that when Emperor Alexander of
Russia visited Empress Josephine at Malmaison
after the entry of the allies into Paris she spoke
to him convincingly about the escape OF the
Dauphin and OF his rights to the throne in pref
erence to those of his uncle, Louis XVIII. that
the autocrat was deeply impressed and there
after became most distant in his relations with
that king. Twenty-four hours afterWard the
Empress was dead. and. according to Sir James
Wyley. the English physician of the Gar, she
succumbed to poison.
Poison likewise caused the death of the Abbe
Dubois, rector CT ST. Marguerite. who refused 10
comply with the demands OF Louis XVIII to the
effect that he would sign declaration that the
body of the Dauphin had been buried there:
while the Duo de Berri, the chivalrous son OF
King Charles Y, was assassinated by Louvel at
uncle. Louis XVIII in which he denounced the
latter's usurpation of the throne and announced
himself as convinced of the validity of the claims
of his cousin, the Dauphin. Official dispatches OF
foreign ambaSSa dOrS at Paris to their govern

Among the many problems of history for

Another mystery in connection with the
princes and princesses of the House of Orleans
the solution OF which may be found in the
archives Of the Vatican is that which exists
with regard to the birth of King Louis Philippe.
who, born at Florence, is asserted on excellent
authority, vouched for by OF the most emi-

offspring of a local jaiIer of the name of Chap

hours after his advent into the world with the
baby girl OF the regicide Duke OF Orleans. who
had been born at Florence on the same day. The
little girl grew I'D into a beautiful woman. fig

STORMS OF PROTESTS.

How important the secrets contained
among the archives of the Vatican Is demon
strated by the attitude OF the various foreign
ENJOYS accredited TO the court Of the Pope,
whose principal mission seems to be to prevent
students from obtaining access TO any material
that could affect in the slightest degree the
prestige and the interests of the family OF the
monarch whom they represent In fact, when
sone fifteen years ago Leo XIII proclaiged his
intention of facilitating the access of the
students OF history 10 the archives of the Fati-
can, a storm Of protests went up from the
various ambassadors and ENJOYS 10 the Holy
See 10 which the Pope was compelled TO lend
an ear and which resulted il the issue Of a
rule that no document OF less than d hundred
years ago could be shown to visitors. More
over. it is thoroughly understood by those in
charge Of the archives that nothing even an
terror TO a hundred years ago, and which relates
In the slightest degree to any Of the sovereign
houses of Europe, can be shown without the full
consent Of the diplomatic representative Of the
monarchy concerned.
These archives go back for thousand years,
and some even to still more remote periods.
During all that time the Papacy has either
directly or through its agents played an i'm
portant role not merely in each historical event
but in every dynastic episode Indeed, it is no
exaggeration TO assert that no single act Of
craftsmanship has taken place, no dynastic ar
rangernent been made. that no royal drama or
tragedy has occurred without a fun ana
Guthentic record thereof being filed among the
archives OF the Vatican. The Papacy has had
its agents not alone in its diplomatic represent
ssiives. formerly noted as the cIeverest in the
world. but also IN every prelate, in every priest
and in every member of the religious orders,
he
and the princes and prIncesses Of their houses
have invariably found their spiritual advisers.
Even at Protestant courts the Papacy has
always had its more or less openly avowed but
invariably clever and able emissaries And in
fnis fashion nothing Of any Importance can be
said 10 have taken place among the sovereign
houses Of Europe within the last thousand
years without complete record thereof being
received and filed in the archives of the Vatican.

STORY OF A LOST TIP.

The waiter cringed and apologized profusely-
He was forgiven and allowed TO serve. and the
meal went on. For two courses Mr.. Have
meyer stood it in silence. The soup was stopped
over the table. the entire was served in a
jumble.
''TI have to have this fellow let out" ne said

1t was against the rules Of the luncheon club

glass where the waiter could not fall to see il.
The walters whole manner changed instantly.
His previous mistakes were corrected. and not
a fault could be found with the rest OF the

After coffee Mr. Havemeyer called ths waiter
to him and said:
"You didn't size I'D for . tip, d1d your
