' fc HarTCsting: Apples ua the Canadian Border. The harvest season for apples begins late in summer in many places, but along the Canadian border September is early enough, and most owners wait even later. The apples here, says a letter from Fannington, Me., to the New York* Post, are naturally winter apples, and they are picked to supply the late manteie. Apple pickers arm themselves with a stout musun bag, which they sling over their Bhoulders, and a light wooden ladder. Every apple must be picked carefully from the tree, breaking it off so that the item is left on. All bruised and "thorned" apples are rejected as unfit for packing. A dozen pickers go into one orchard, aod soon briog the red and golden fruit to the wagons in quantities. When they are picked, the owner begins the work of sorting them, for so much depends upon this part of the job that it is not safe to trust it to any one else. There are several grades into which the fruit must be devided. The first includes all of the large, well-ripened, and handsome ones, without a flaw of any kind visible, and these are packed in rows in the barrel .as carefully as so many eggs. Often these fancy apples command double the price of the other grades, and the neater they are packed ko Katfap ?rtM thoT7 aoll Thp next ?rrad? ug UVlWt villi vuvj WV4.I 0 . ifl only a little inferior to the first, but mailer fruit is packed with it, and a few that have slight creases on the skins, and all of those with less color. Color counts in all fancy fruit, the purchasets will often take apples with a highly colored appearance, even though it is generally known that they are inferior to the green ones. The third grade consists of all the apples that will not go into the two higher grades and yet are too good to convert into cider or to feed to the animals. The apples in this instance are tumbled into the barrels without much assortment, and the owner is satisfied if he can get in return fifty cents profit per barrel for them. rwn?

The tree is attended by priests, who declare that it is mentioned in the records of their cloister 800 years ago, and that it was planted in the year A. D. 675.

Children of Hri and Mrs. 11M. Soiler Altooua, Pa. Both Had Eczema In Its Worst Form After Physicians Failed, Hood's Sarsaparilla Perfectly Cured. Great mental agony is endured by parents who see their children suffering from diseases: caused by impure blood, and for which there seems no cure. This is turned to joy when Hood's Sarsaparilla is resorted to, for it expels the foul humors from the blood, and restores the diseased skin to fresh, healthy brightness. Read the following: "We think Hood's Sarsaparilla Is the most valuable medicine on the market for blood and Bkin diseases. Our two children suffered terribly with the Worst Form of Eczema for two years. We had three physicians in that time, but neither of them succedeed in curing them or even in scivinx them alittle relief. At last we tried Hood's Sarsaparilla and in a month both children were perfectly We recommend Hood's Sarsaparilla as a standard family m?dlcine, and would not be without it." Mr. and Mrs. M. M.

The writer says; There was tw0 *eet of mud where we landed, and in tbe mud were thousands of 6trange looking beings, curiously waiting to see the landing of the 44 for- . eign devils'." They were tall, strong- t looking men, with long moustaches and i "royals" that gave them a ferocious air. \ Their hair was black and long and ar- c ~ * i? - * ikA:. ranged in a little net on iop ui uica a head. Those without beards had fine i: and kind-looking faces, and tbeir hair I parted in the middle, fell upon their p shoulders. 1 We immediately took them for women t and began to admire them. Great wa9 v A GROUP OE * our surprise, however when we learned 41 that they were young men. They all si seemed to us tke dirtiest looking people t< we have ever seen. The children were tl altogether nude, while the grown people li were all dressed in white linen clothes, d "When I eay "white," I use a mere figure b of speech, and I would be nearer the truth in saying that they had clothes 01 which used to be white, but which had <n fiever been washed since the day they t( were worn for the first time. o The reason why Coreans wear white is w that when a member of the royal iamny o cr of the royal court dies, every man a: and woman in the country must go into a mourning, and they must wear white a or black while in mourning, and as the k period of sorrow continues three years, they never get out of it.. s Many of the men were working hard o ' A/(i HOW COBBANS C loading and unloading Corean, Chinese ii and Japanese junks. While working a they all sing a sad and monotonous a chant. Tho harder the work is the si harder they sing.

He immediately t thought they had heard of his arrival and I were come to wclcome him. The bis: i load* they were carrying were taken for \ presents sent by the king c the gover- nor, and our man, taking at once a die:- ' nified pose, mentally prepared a little I speech of thanks. Great wa? his disap- 1 pointment when he saw the Coreans were 1 limply carrying loads of dried fish to a leparting Teasel. So far as hats are concerned, Coreans ;du utrai/ iujf uaiupcuu vi auignvuu I nodiste, who in the wildest dreams of A COREAN CAIIIUAGE. heir luxuriant imagination could never magine a freak of fashion to compare ritli tbeir barbarous notions of headIress. Should one of these Corean hats ppear in the front seat of the parquet, a one of our American theatres, it would ie useless for any of those occupying >aiquet seats from the second row to the ast, or even for those in the first gallery o try to see anything. The first Corean re saw standing in front of us had a CORE AITS. 'couvre-chef' of such shape and dimenons that we all shouted to him at the >p of our voice: "Where did you get lat hat?" .The poor fellow thought his fe was in danger, and ran away tike a eer, while hundreds of dogs began arking at us. Ponies no bigger than a dog are the aly means of locomotion in Corea (exopting legs) and are said to be the >ughest of horses.

This barber knew nothing bout water and soap, but he had probbly heaid something of the French having cream, parfumee a la rose, and ras using mud instead. Through the mud and the dirt we eached the Corean town. There the ouses are not over eight feot high. In ict they are not houses, but simply large 'huts," where people sleep pele-mele. Greets can hardly be said to exist; they re but narrow, dirty passages between be houses. If our eyes could ever forpt t.hp aiorht that ereeted them, our nos " O O ' rils will surely never get over the (liferent sensations they experienced thatay. I tried to recall to mind the worst bing I ever smelt in America and felt it rould be extract of violets com pared to he odors that met us here. Several ime3 some of us felt like fainting, and t required all our energy not to give up. ['he dirtiest man in the States would feel s clean as a new dime over here. By he way, silver and gold coins or paper aoney do not exist in Cores. The only oin they have 19 called "cash." it is oade of copper, as large as one of our ifty-cent pieces, and it requires ten of hem to maks one cent! To carry two lollars one must get a horse, aud the pile he cash makes looks twice as large as he little quadruped. By this time wc were in the middle of he city, followed by hundreds of men, vomen, children and barking dogs. We irrived opposite a large gate surmounted >y a heavy Chinese roof. In front were i number of stone step?, which we began } asteud. We had hardly reached the op when dozens of men rushed on us, md by their gestures made us understand hat we could go no further. We Jreaded to retreat, and ou reaching the ast'steps I thought of taking a photograph of that entrance gate. So I ;urned around with my kodak in po9i;ion, wholly innooent of Ihe excitement t was to create. Guardians of the slace?men, women, children and dogs I ?fled in all directions, wild with fear. I They surely thought it was a gun, and :hat, provoked at not being admitted, :he "foreign devils" were going to bomjard the place. There are a number of Corean policemen in Fusan, but it is hard to distinguish them from other people, though they are generally a trifle cleaner than the average Corean. "We saw two of these officers. They were tall, nice-looking fellows, wearing immense straw hats and clad in white linen. They did not seem to be very ferocious, and we did not notice that they carried weapons. Esquimaux For the World's Fair. * Ll_ _l. ?a t A party 01 nity-seven uiau&.-uuuou auu dark skinned Esquimaux, who will do | pict life in the polar region at the World's Fair grounds have arrived in Chicago. The northern natives were brought to that city by the Arctic World's Fair American Exposition Company, which will build the Esquimaux village at the World's Fair grounds. They come from all walks of Esquimaux life, two of the families belonging to the eldest and noblest households, while two of them came from a region so remove that it has never yet been reached by the Moravian missionaries. In the party are sixteen men, twentythree women, twelve of whom are wives I of men, and thirteen cnnaren. All ages are represented in the band. One man is sixty years old, which, according to Robert Ford, is almost the limit of an Esquimau's life. The youngest is eight months old, and it cries and looks wonderinglv at everything just like other babies. Robert Ford, the interpreter, bears the distinction of being one of the few white men who live in upper Labrador. He is accompanied by his wife and two children. He is a sort of a leader among the natives, and his word is law with each of the band. Each one was dressed in unplucked sealskins, several 01 mem can talk very good English, having learned the language at the missions. John Lucy is one of these, and, while h> was surprised at what he saw en route tc Chicago, he says that he thinks "tn United States is a fine place, and nice to live in than Labrador." The thircet children in the band are bright an lively, with snapping black eyes an black hair. They are making the mo: of their long journey. Of the other families that ot Cooper and Kangigatchook are probably the most interesting, as thej are heathen. They eat raw meat and plainly showed that they were less used to restraint than the rest of the band. Cooper is accompanied by his wife and three children, while Kangigatchook brings his wife and two children. ty_ A GROUP OF KSqUIHAUX. They will live in log bouses and tents made of ekin this winter. During the hot months of next summer they will live in cold storage houses. The Esquimaux will give interesting exhibitions on Lake Michigan next summer with their kayaks, or boats. These canoes are made of Bkins, and a favorite trick of a native expert is to plunge his canoe under the water and paddle under a kayak driven by a companion. A Snake With a Baby's Head. Jonathan Baker, while working on his farm at Coalton, Ohio, one day recently, beard a strange hissing sound coming from a log pile. Wondering what it could be, he removed the logs one by one. After several had been removed he was horrified to see a mighty serpent, with a head resembling that of a babe, spring up. Back from the low forehead coursed an abundance of soft hair, and beneath the wrinkled brow peered eyes of evil. From its lips darted a forked tongue, as the monster, fully eight feet long. and as thick a9 a man's thigh, tried to spring upon the farmer. Mr. Baker called a friend, Joseph McCartney, who was working near. Eoth took their axes, and one struck the monster a blow on the back of its head, while the other tackled its body. The brute writhed and hissed in horrible agony, and the souna it emitted was perfectly awful. It made an effort to strike with its powerful tail, but the men kept clear of it until the snake was dispatched by repeated blows. Mr. Baker says that McCartney will testify to the truth of his assertions. Thfi Banana Butterfly. There is a beautiful butterlij having ' large white wings dotted with red. and a body of a delicate pink tint, which is often found in banana ships. Among those who handle the binanas it has a good name, for it is thought to briDg good luck to the persons on whom it lights. While the bunches of bananas are piled on the seashore waiting to be stowed away in vessels many queer things find their way among them. Sea shells of great beauty are sometimes found by j lilt; wUlMUCU. ? auituoau a ut uivi t HOUSEHOLD 3IATTEKS. TO REMOTE RUST.

The bread wasn't fresh and she had no time to send to the market for anything. Her visitor was dainty in her tastes. What was to be done to get up a nice little luncheon? There were plenty of crackers in the house. She thought of them and heaved a sigh of relief. "So I buttered a few dozen crackers," the housekeeper explained, "and set them in the oven, theie to stay until they were a light brown. A part of those were placed in a dish on the back of the stove, aud with the remainder I made some cracker sandwiches out of some bits of roast fowl, which was ready sliced in the pantry. The meat -was mixed with a little mayonnaise and placed between two of the buttered crackers. A jar of canoed fruit was opened, and with some olives and a bit of cheese rounded out a very relishable luncheon, and my guest quite enthused over the new-fashioned sandwiches. ? Detroit Free Press. WINTER TIOLETS. Scarcely anything affords more pleasure than a box of blue-blooming violets. The monthly variety are seldom without bloom from September to March, and so fragrant that they perfume the whole room, runt them out in a protected part of the garden "soon as their fragrant task is done," in the spring, and have no further care of them, except to keep grass and weeds from choking the roots. Transplant into a deep box some time in the fall; early in November is not too late. Place a few pieces of oyster shell or coal in a box eight or ten inches deep, as the roots ar:* long, and fill it with rich garden soil, with a little compost. Keep the box of plants in a shady place urtil well rooted. Wnen the nights become cold and frosty, bring into the house, and place in a sunny window with a southern exposure, for they revel in the sun, and if carefully watered, and kept in a moderately warm room, they will bloom freely, "a box where sweets compactea ne."?new xorit vdserver. w < DO TOD KNOW?

Itain which on touching the grouud crackles and emits electric spafks is a very uncommon but not unknown phenomenon. An instance of the kind was recently reported from Cordova, in Spain, by an electrical engineer who witnessed the occurrence. The weather, had been warm and undisturbed by wind, and soon after dark the sky became overcast by clouds. At about 8 o'clock there came a flash of lightning, followed by great drops of electrical rain, each one of which on touching the ground, walls or trees gave a faint crack and emitted a snark of lisht. The phe nomenon continued for several seconds, and apparently ceased as soon as the atmosphere wa9 satuated with moisture.? Chambers's Journal. ,\ . A Titleless Sea. For practical purposes the Mediterranean may be accepted as being what it is popularly supposed to be, a tideless sea, but it is not so in reality. In many places there is a distinct rise and fall, though this is more frequently due to winds and currents than to lunar attraction. At Venice there is a rise of 'rom one to two feet in sprine tides, according to the prevalence of winds up or down tbe Adriatic. In many straits and narrow arms of the sea there is a periodical flux and reflux, but tbe only place where the tidal influence, properly so called, is nn mistakably observed is in the Gulf ot Gabes, where the tide runs at the late of two or three knots an hour and the rise and fall varies from three to eight f eet.
