Best Way to Keep Apples.

The best vessels in which to keep
apples are crates or baskets that per-
ding the fruit to prevent bruising
When it commences to reach its full
stage of ripening it is well to sort it
occasionally, and remove and use any
that are commencing to decay, or that
are becoming soft or overripe. Ifrm
specimens can be wrapped in pieces
of ordinary newspaper and put in ven-
tilated crates, baskets or barrels in a
cool place, and there kept for longer
time than when not so wrapped.

sUPERNUMERARIES LOOKING
FOR REGULARS PAY.
See No Reason Why They Should Not
Receive S2.75 Instead of $3.50.

Ever since former councilman John
Barry arose in the city meeting and
asked what supernumerary policemen
were paid in this city and why they
were not paid S2.75 per day like the
regulars instead of the $3.50 which is
given, the supernumeraries have been
looking expectantly to see il the s2.75
rate for them might not be put into
effect. 1t is understood among them
that more or less of assurance had
been given that this would be done as
they understood that the appropriation
of 1874 for the police department
was figured with this possibility in
view but so far they have seen no
difference in their pay envelopes.
AS they are called upon when on
duty I'd perform the same services as
regular policemen they cannot see why
they should not receive tho same pay
and they have been waiting to See
what the effect would be from the
opening shot fred by the former
councilman.

change Is likely soon to take place in
the trolley fare rates on the system.
The change has not been decided
upon, formally, but probably will be
after a meeting OF the directors in
about 10 days, and 1t is probable that
the new fare schedule will probably
go into effect on the first Of Septem-
Der with a trial on the line between
Saybrook and New Haven.
A local Official Of the company Of
whom inquiry was made said that the
road would give out nothing definitely
on any change in the rates of fare
until probably ten days from now.
1t is understood that while the re-
suit Of the new fare rates may be an
increase in the revenues of the COM
pany there will be many instances in
which the public will be benefited.
With the introduction of the new
system. the present five cent zone, ex-
cept the first, will be eliminated. In
its place will be two cent zone,
which reduced to a mileage basis viii
fix the passenger tariff at the rate of
1S cents a mile. The adoption of this
schedule will have the effect Of rails
ing the total fares somewhat on a
through, trip.
