Of a third of a bushel for every man,

Every restaurant, however humble or

Athens and other cities close to the
ocean had an abundance OF shellfish
such as We use. and enjoyed them
very much. But to the Jews this kind
of food was forbidden by their law,
which. allowing certain kinds OF fish,
rejected much sea food, including the

Drowning the Bells,

The strangest thing that the ONCE
Window man saw during the New

this great city decreeing that glad
chimes should be rung at Trinity as

the sound of the bells, when they were
rung, by the blowing OF horns and
the ringing of cowbells. remarks the
New York Mail. The visitor from
Mars must have wondered greatly at
this. 1t was like asking Melba to
sing for you. and then, when she
opened her lips, raising 80 great and
wild a shout that not a note OF her
song could be heard.

LUSCIOUS CRAB APPLE
QUEEN OF ALL THE VARIETIES
OF PRESERVES.
Maine Editor Pays Deserved Tribute
to Fruit, Inspired by Boyhood Mem
cries of Its superIatlve Tooth.
some Qualities.

1t demands hungry boy who has
taken hearty exercise in the open air
to steal native Maine crab apples for
the sake of eating them, asserts the
Bangor News. Even the red haw-
thorne plums after the frosts fall and
sweeten up the insides, are far more
preferable than the wild crabs. Re-
peated heavy frosts add sweeting to
those balls Of sour fire, which makes
them palatable to wild partridges, red
and gray squirrels, bluejays and rare
and beautiful grosbeaks. 1t Is the
housewives of Maine who, most APP
preciate the wild crab apple-par-
ticularly for the making Of tarts and
beautifully pink jellies, which stand
in sunny autumn windows and ripen
for days at time. The very essence
Of the Northern hills is concealed in
those topping tumblers Of glass.
No Maine housewife thinks Of eat
ing a Thanksgiving turkey or a
Christmas goose without crab apple
jelly to 60 along. Today 1t is more
highly esteemed than cranberry sauce,
or summer jellies made from rhu.
barb, grapes or currants, or the col
ored parings Of drying apples. Those
small individual cups Of baked dough,
when filled with jelly and rechristened
under the family name Of tarts, may
serve to whet ones appetite until he
can reach more substantial foods.
What has become of those dear old
glass or stone jars Of preserves in
brown sugar or molasses crab ap-
pie, which were slammed in delectable
sweetening with their stems intact,
SO that boys with uncultivated tastes,
who ate them greedily,- irreverently
called them preserved mice?"
With unbroken skins and plump
bodies fairly reeking in sweets, they
filled jar after jar along the cellar
shelves, and were taken to school and
eaten with biscuit and butter for
school dinners, and even taken to the
sick or ailing as appetizers. There is
not family physician In Maine who
is not intimately familiar with these
crab apple preserves" The old boys
when they were really boys, termed
them topping" which meant the ia
vorite foods for finishing a meal. Az
matted beers and ales have taken the
place Of hard and new cider upon the
family table. possibly apples, raisins
and evaporated fruits may have II
some degree crowded out crab apple
preserves.
Though they are going from oul
cellar shelves and dining tables, font
memories of them linger lovingly. no
can the passing Of almanacs and cal
endars totally erase them.

RELATES TALES OF ROYALTY
Interesting "reminiscences Published

One Of the amusing anecdotes con-
Germs Edward VII. Woodville painted
an equestrian portrait of the king,
who, says the artist, was greatly
pleased with 1t until he examined the
legs.
"Oh, Mr.. Woodville," he said, what
a pair of magnificent legs you have
given me. They are simply splendid.
But look at my short ones. You will
have to make these in the portrait
shorter"
II pointed out" says Woodville in
telling the yarn, that in some Of his
photographs his legs appeared to be
quite as long as had painted them.
but no argument could convince him.
A piece had to come off, and 1t did"
The old Duke of Cambridge was no

could 60 to sleep at dinners and other

party the Duke succumbed. Awakened
by loud laugh, he opened his eyes
and demanded, Christopher, have /
snored?"
II have had the honor to hear your
Royal Highness sleeping WELL" replied
Sykes.
Woodville painted large equestrian
portrait Of the Emperor Frederick of
Germany in the handsome white uni
form Of the Imperial guards, with the
magnificent golden helmet crowned by
the silver eagle
ut was a sad task" says Woodville.
Il painted the portrait shortly after
the Emperor's death, and the EN-
press was very particular about the
color and shape Of his eyes. She wore
a bracelet with miniature Of one Of
his eyes painted ON ivory in medal
lion upon it. She stood beside me for
hours holding the bracelet SO that I
could see 1t in the best light and not

"These facts are illustrated by con-

sumed in that city during the ten
years following 1894 was 672, COS

it was 1,517, 382 barrels, an increase
of about 125 per cent. During this

creased between 80 and 40 per cent.
These facts show that the public will

Beef Cattle Not Worth Feed On
Small Farm.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis-That beef cattle on the small
farm will make but a small profit, IL
any at all, is the belief Of Professor
E. B. Fits, extension livestock man
at o. A. C. 1t Is advisable to turn of
the beef early, since beef Is produced
more cheaply during the first two
years Of the animals life than at any
time afterwards.
There Is no profit In feeding beef
cattle for the additional flesh that
they put on. The hay that beef eats
in a day Is worth more than the beef
II makes. The only advantage In
feeding Is TO give high finish that
will command top prices.

"This condition, however, seems to
be changing. Low prices in some in

evident that something must be done
very soon to acquaint people with the
merits of our fruit, to get them to eat
more of 1t, and to reduce to the mini
mum the cost of getting this fruit to
the people.
'"To do this petty jealousies of rival
districts must be forgotten, standards
of grade and pack must be made as
uniform as possible, the selling prop.
uganda must be centralized and sim.

act for the association.
"The facts ascertained by this field
agent could be made available by hav-
ing them reported to the association,
each association reporting to a central
bureau of statistics for the Northwest
in turn would report to central bureau
for the United States at Washington.
Accurate estimates of crops thus Sc
cured would do away with large part
of the speculative element in buying,
would place the whole fruit industry
on firmer basis and would be of in
calculable benefit to the grower and
the consumer alike.
"Another phase of the market prob
lem which is pressing for immediate
action is effective advertising-get-
ting the consumer to buy more fruit.
To farmer 1t Is astonishing how ig-
norant his city cousins are regarding
the quality. eating season, and ways
of preparing fruits. The way to get
the people interested in the goods we
have for sale Is to supply them with
fruit at its proper season of ripeness
and give them directions for prepar-
ing II.
''To do this the cooperation of the
wholesaler and retailer must be OBJ
tanned, and they must be shown that
they will make more money by selling
customer fruit at Its best rather
than when it is as hard as brick.
When people buy what they suppose Is
good eating apple they are are moi
satisfied with one, even though an ex.
cellent cooker IL 1t is not good eater
fresh.
"A good way to get this informa,
tion TO the customer Is for retailers tc
push sales by the box or barrel rather
than small quantities and to charge
more moderate prices for what they
sell, securing profits from turning q
large quantity Of goods rather thar
from making large net returns upor
small quantities. Printed recipes fol-
using the fruit In various ways ma,
accompany these packages.
"Since the grower is the one mos
vitality benefited by this plan he Il
the one who may meet the cost Of
advertising. by purchasing stamps Al
one cent each and placing one stamv
on each box and two stamps on eacl
