Careful Packing of Fruit.

Packing in boxes requires more care
than packing i'm barrels. For extra
fancy fruit it is well TO line the inside
Of the box with fancy paper in order to
present better appearance when
opened. Excelsior is often used in the
top of the box, but it should be covered
with paper TO prevent the dust from
settling among the apples Place the
first course by hand with stem end
down. The remainder may be careful
ly poured in: but for the best results 1t
is better to place all the fruit in layer,
making sure that it is packed solidly.
Place piece of heavy paper on top of
the fruit, press carefully, and nail the
head on. If the fruit is properly packed
it should require but little pressing to
prevent the fruit from moving. The
harder the fruit is pressed the greater
the danger Of bruising. Brand the box
in accordance with the fruits-mark act
Always use stencils for branding.
Pencil writing on a box Is unsightly,
and does not give the purchaser as
good an impression as neat stenciling.
Some varieties, especially the softer
ones, will bring better prices if each
apple Is wrapped in paper. The paper
prevents the fruit from moving and be-
coming bruised and gives a finished
appearance to the case. Only extra
fancy fruit will pay for the additional;
cost Of wrapping.

"PETER PIPER" IN PtnINa.
4 Young American Woman Among
the Ladies' of the Chinese Court

a Young American Woman Among
the Ladies' of the Chinese Court
Miss Katharine Carl. an American
privilege of living in the imperial pal
ace of Peking, in the daily company
Of the wonderful dowager empress. She
was there to paint the portrait of the
dowager empress, as well as that of
the charming young Empress Ye-ho-na-
lab, wife of the emperor. and of de-
ligbtful bevy of princesses and noble
ladies of the court.
Miss Carl in a recent narrative of
her experiences bears testimony to the
exquisite good breeding and unfailing
consideration for their foreign guest on
the part of the ladies of the court.
Careful as they were OF her susceptible
tiles. however, they often, after they
knew her well and were assured she
would not take offense. found much
amusement in puZZling her with diff
cult bits of Chinese-words too nearly
alike to be differentiated by an Occi-
dental tongue, test sentences purposely
concocted, and even puns.
Often the mirth created by her blum
ders would attract the attention of the
dowager empress herself, who would
ask. smiling, speaking of Miss Carl by
her Chinese name:
What has Kergunia been saying?"
If Kergunia was too hard pressed,
however, she could assume the often

Tramp. In MANY Nations.

There arrived in London last even
ing an aged man named Mark All who
has been wandering for the last six
years.
Mark All is an engineer by trade
and lie set out from Fleet street on
Aug. 6. 1900. with the object of walk
ing 10000 miles in seven years. The
idea of the enterprise was to disproye
theory. which All attributes TO eng1-
neering employers, that after a man
has reached 45 years OF age he is use
less for manual labor.
Some gentlemen who were desiroas
of dispr0ving this theory agreed TO
pay All $500 If he could walk 60,00O
miles in seven years, earning his liv-
ing at his trade, and that be shall
pictures post cards, make speeches or
exhibit himself at music halls. All
these conditions, he says, he has faith
fully observed. He has been all over
the three kingdoms and has visited
France. Spain, Switzerland, Belgium,
Holland. Italy and Germany, but failed
to get into Russia. His record now is
$4,000 miles.
He proposes to take n weeks rest in
London, then walk to New Haven and
cross to Dieppe, where he will resume
his pedestrian exercises through
France. Throughout his travels Mark
All wears the union jack on his right
arm.-London Chronicle.

Corn or Maize Ratfons.

Indian corn or maize is the basis OF
more than any other one crop grown
in the United States The grain is rich
in digestible carbohydrates and fats
and for that reason Is used quite exten-
slvely in fattening rations. 1t Is the
easiest crop to grow and the heaviest
yielder among our grains. There Is
practically no difference in digestibility
and nutritive value between flint and
dent corn. Sweet corn is considered
to be somewhat richer in protein and
to contain a larger percentage of d.
gestible matter than fiint or dent, but
is not so heavy yielder. says a Penn
sylvania bulletin. Dent corn being
softer is more easily masticated by
farm animals than flint. No difference
has been discovered between varieties
of different colors. Corn is rather de-
ficient in protein and for that reason
should always be fed in connection
with some heterogeneous food. especially
when fed to growing animals or milch

Bone Black.

Bone black, sometimes called "bone

tact with the air. BY this process prac-
tcally all the water, fat and nitrogen
are removed, leaving a material which
consists chiefly of insoluble phosphate
Of lime and charcoal. This product
is extensively used at sugar refineries
for removing the colOring matter from
raw sugars. After being used several
times it becomes useless for refining
purposes and is then sold as fertilizer,
says Virginia report. 1t contains about
30 per cent Of phOsphoric acid. As this
consists chiefly of insolub1e phosphate
of lime mixed with carbon. it does not
decompose readily in the soil, and is,
therefore. of little value when used di-
rectly as fertilizing material. 1t Is
chiefly used for making dissolved bone
