What to do with the windfall apples Is a problem that gives the owner of every large orchard considerable con cern as the time for picking apples ap breaches. Where one is provided with an evaporator or Is SO fixed that he can convert this defective fruit into vinegar. the problem is comparatively simple. But where neither method of disposing of this product of the orchard Is possible 1t is a question what is the best thing to do. An effective method of dlsposing of such apples and one which gives a certain return Is to turn droves of hogs or sheep into the or. chard periodically and allow them to clean them up This not only dispOses of the apples, but the worms as well, as such apples are usually wOrmy. In any case it is best to remove the/wind falls from beneath the trees, and if they cannot be disposed of in any of the methods suggested it is best to put them on the blow land with the manure and turn them under.

A Fninfcr,s Genins.

1t is told of Leonardo da Vinci that, while still a pupil, before his genius burst into brilliancy, he received spe- cial inspiration in this way: His old and famous master, because of his growing infirmities of age, felt obliged to give up his own work, and one day bade Da Vinci finish for him picture which he had begun. The young man had such reverence for his masters skill that he shrank from the task. The old artist, however, would not accept any excuse, but persisted in his com mand, saying simply, Do your best" Da Vinci at last tremblingly seized the brush and, kneeling before the easel, said the following prayer: Ut is for the sake of my beloved master that 1 i'm plore skill and power for this under taking" AS he proceeded his hand grew steady, his eye awoke with slum- bering genius. He forgot himself and was filled with enthusiasm for his work. When the painting was finished the old master was carried into the studio to pass judgment on the result. His eyes rested on a triumph of art. Throwing his arms around the young artist, he exclaimed, My son, 1 paint DO more"

GRIM OLD CROMWELL.
The Protector Made Christmas a
 Gloomy nnd Serious Day.


 Gloomy nnd serious Day.
 "Christmas was illegal In Cromwelrs time. said an antiquary Those grim old Puritans were so gloomy that they would not have any gayety even on Christmas day.
 Cromwell said that holly and mistle toe were heathenish things. He said that they had no real Christian signii canoe; they were part of some pagan festival of the Druids. Accordingly he made law that if you decorated your house withtmistletoe at Christmas you got thirty days in jail.
 "rhe terrible old fellow forbade Christmas celcbrations-no dancing, no singing. no playgoiug. no feasting on Christmas day; penalty. thirty days
 "You see, it was his idea that Christ mas was a religious. a serious time, a time for churchgoing and prayer and reverence and for nothing else. The innocent family that in Cromwelrs day sat down to turkey and plum pudding and wound up with Christmas games got month all round.
 "Only for time, though. The people rebelled. Willing as the people had been to put on the gloom of those dreadful old Puritans. they insisted on having a little joy on Christmas day, and Cromwell after year or two had to give in to them."-New Orleans Times Democrat.

A Crime Against Society.

Voluntary self murder is not only a violation of the divine law, but is also a crime against society. We are so- cial beings. We owe a duty to the con- monwealth as well as to ourselves. We mutually depend on one another, like the members of our physical body. "For none of us liveth to himself; and no man dieth to himself" Human SO ciety may be cOmpared to a grand ar, my, every member of which has a special place and mission assigned to him by his sovereign commander. To abandon the post of duty intrusted to a sentinel is regarded by the military code as a most cowardly act, which is punished with extreme rigor. What less does the suicide do than basely abandon the situation assigned to him in the warfare of life? And there is nc vice more contagious than cowardlv desertion. It is often followed by a general mutiny. The same is true of suicide. When a few deeds of self mur der are widely circulated by the press they are not infrequently followed by numerous voluntary daughters.
