The package in which fruit goes to
market has large bearing on the
sale Of the fruit TO consumers. SO
much Is this the case that the saying
has arisen; The package sells the
fruit This has come to be almost
a fundamental saying the fruit trade
as TO certain kinds Of fruits. One OF
the tricks Of the trade that is well
understood by those selling to the
transient city trade Is TO make the
package and the packing Of the fruit
as attractive as possible, This fact

the market of the great number Of

LEARNED ~ SAD EXPERIENCE
kafr Lad Found Out Just What Q
Beating Meant.

Just az Kafir is slow In locating
pain which is beirg experienced In his
own body, so is he slow in imagining
what others are suffering. A grown.
up Kafir related, says Mr.. Dudley
Kidd. in Savage Childhood" that
when he was child his father threat
ened him with beating II he did
something or other.
The child was puzzled as to what
sort of thing beating might be, for
although he had often seen his bigger
brothers beaten, his Imagination was
unable to work on the sight and re,
construct the experience of these 9th.
ers into terms of his own senses.
When his father threatened him.
therefore. he simply laughed, for he
had not the remotest idea Of how q
beating really felt. It took q very
short time for the young gentleman to
extend the boundaries of his knowl.
edge.
Swift retribution followed the un.
pardonable sin of showing disrespect
to his father. As the children go
about entirely bare, there was no de-
.ay for preparation. The father took
q stick and applied 1t vigorously, "ac-
cording to directions" and with entire
success.
When the tears and smarting were
over" said the Kafir in his old age, 81
sat down and thought 1t over. Well,

what is the reason of 1t. but anyhow
know what sort of thing beating

stupid was before that" Youths
