Although apple growing is increasing
in the west. and several states claim
large production and excellent fruit, II is
good TO hear Prof. L. p. Hedrick of the
Geneva experimental station assert at
the convention OF the apple men. just
closed At Niagara Falls. that New York
leads all other states In apple produc-
ton. II Is a supremacy OF which to be
proud. The apple is almost a staple in
thousands Of homes. and the report that
the west was taking away the apple bust
ness OF New York, or assuming II as New
York orchards bore less and less, will be
robbed Of much of its weight by Prof.
Hedricks statement People who buy
homegrown apples In the apple season
stop al that in many instances and will
not pay for apples which have to carry
railroad rates. Great claims are made
for the perfection of western apples. but
the apple il a fruit which TO be appre-
ciated by the multitude must have its full
favor and juiciness. These are to some
extent lost In storage and shipment

Both OF these passes are heavily forti-
fed. and numerous monuments have
been erected along the way TO mark
spots OF historic Importance and to in
spire the army with heroic and pa
triotic feelings. One of the monuments
is in honor OF a private soldier.
In iS4O, during an uprising of the Cir
cassians, the Mihailovosky fort, about
half way through the pass, was gar
risoned by a detachment of the 18th Reg
iment OF Russian infantry. under COM
mand of Capt. Like. Being besieged
by the rebels. and short OF provisions
and ammunition, he decided to blow up
the place at the next assault. The re-
naming powder was converted into a
mine and placed under the only approach
10 the fort, and a private named Arhippe
Ossipoff volunteered to apply the match
When the besieging force had broken
down the gates and was surging
through the archway Ossipoff fired the
mine Nearly every man In the Rus
sian garrison and all OF the enemy per-
ished, and the few survivors crawled
down the road to tell the news.

life has convinced me of the sad verify
of this assertion. In it I find the solu-
ton Of the puzzle why good parents so
often have. in their latest years. the af-
Fiction of undutiful and dissipated chill

mother to teach her boys and girls self
discipline. The child who is never obliged
to resign anything upon which he has
set his heart in order that brother or
sister or parents may be happier or more
comfortable: whose mother shows, by
action If not by word, that his pleasure
always takes precedence of hers in her
mind; who. in short, Is brought I'D to

truth in declaring that the work OF in

fact that I am conscious of thrill of
