HOW TO JUDGE MELONS.

There is no other fruit perhaps
which causes so much envy or unrest
in the breast of small boy Tor full
grown one for that matterl as the
watermelon. Its coming Is watched
and longed for and when at last 1t is
ripe it is eagerly enjoyed no matter
what the conditions or surroundings
OF it may be.
Nothing is more vexatious to tie
housekeeper than to order a melon
and go to the trouble and expense of
chilling it only to discover when it
has been cut open that ale time,
money and energy were wasted with
an unripe or poor quality melon. It's
true the grocer does not grow the
melon, but he and all his clerks
should be taught how to judge good,
ripe melon-whether watermelon OF
cantaloupe-from one which is green
or of an inferior quality. But better
still, learn to judge it yourself This
is pretty good guide: Snap the
melon in the enter with the thumb
! and middle finger. If it is green there
will be hard, very clear sound, and
very distinct If the melon is ripe
the sound will be dull and thud-like
! Plugging a melon, that is cutting {
little cube out of it, is the only way
of testing a NEON and perfectly
sure one, but this cannot be done il
our fruit stores.
Testing a cantaloupe is no easy mat

two years pastor Of the German Meth
odist church IN this city. has been
transferred by the German Methodist
conference to the charge at West
Burlington. Iowa The appointment
was made yesterday at the meeting
Of the German Methodist conference
IN session at Muscatine. The appoint
ment Of Rev. Mr.. Kies to the Iowa
charge is an advancement as he will
work IN a larger and stronger con-
gregation. The local church will re.
main without a regular pastor for the
time being owing to the scarcity OF
pastors in the conference. Upon the
completion of the course in the Ger
man Methodist training schools many
Of the young men ordained take UP
the English work, or the older pastors,
go into other conferences and the sup
PLY OF pastors fer the German con,
gregations is rapidly diminishing. The
stronger congregations are given the
appointments and the weaker are sup
piled with ordained elders. The work
laid down by Rev Mr.. Kies in the 10
cal charge will be taken up by w
Frewert, an ordained elder.
