Apples.


The best apples are raised In the
New England states.
Apples are packed best in the West,
Some are packed in barrels and 9TH
ers in boxes. They have to be grad
ed first, that is, to have them all the
same size. They should not have
specks on them, or be a little one
sided
When apples are put in boxes a
piece of paper should be put in the
bottom, Then wrap them UP in papers
and Ut layers of card board between.
After they are graded they are put on
a table and a man stands there and
packs them. There is a cloth on the
table tackled only at one end so when
it gets full of leaves aS4d dust 1t can
be shaken. There is a little board at
tached to the table to put the box on.
The man takes his left hand to reach
the paper with his right to reach the
apples with so in this way he loses
no time.
When the apples are packed in bar
rels there are cushions at the ends
and fancy paper at the top to make
the apples look well. But If farmers
should sell apples and put large ap-
pies at the bottom and top of the bar
rel that would not be honest.
There are four ways Of packing ap-
pies in boxes.

The cessaeks,

Long. long ago, there came into the
southern part Of Russia, q tribe Of
men who called themselves ''KossalIi, -
from the Tartar word meaning free
men," or free fighters" They lived
Russian women and children from be-
coming slaves to the cruel Turks.
The training Of the Cossack boy
begins from the cradle.
The mother sings her baby to sleep
with Cossack war songs.
As soon as the boy Is three years
old he is taught to ride a horse.
When he Is eighteen be enlists in
the army for three years of training.
He must provide his own horse, uni
form and military equipment
After his three years Of training he
enters active service and must serve

Lesson Points.

God sent an angel TO warn a cer-
tain mother against drinking wine
and strong drinks, In our day the
warning does not come through am
gels. but It 10 made as plain as IL 1t
did.
The abstinence Of Samson's mother
would have been worth little TO him,
IL he. too. had not abstatned from all
wine and liquor.
The boy who approves Of his moth
er's temperance principles. without
adopting them for himself, will be lit
tie proflted thereby.
Every boy who knows anything
about athletics, knows that a first
class athlete must avoid alcohol as be
would any other poison,l II Ia not q
mere coincidence that 6amson, q man
of such extraordinary strength, was
total abstainer in the strietest sense
of the word.
Samson had q father who prayed for
him and a mother who practiced self
control on his account; he WAS born
with Gods blessing resting on him.
Any boy, with such start In life
should succeed. T.

the only medicine he ever adminis-
