Tue Apple as a Timber Tree. In some sections of this country the apple tree is looked on for its product as a piece of timber as well as a fruitproducing article. For this reason the old German fruit grower3 in the vicinity of Philadelphia always aimed to pet a nice straight trunk to an apple tree, and train it up comparatively high before allowing it to form a head. Moderns have supposed that the nhiof nbiect to be trained bv this method of training was in order to facilitate plowing operations, but the ultimate end in having a good trunk for timber purposes was not forgotten. In this particular region the wood was used chiefly for shoemakers' lasts?a business which, in the earlier history of Philadelphia, did much to help the trade of that famous manufacturing centre of population. The apple regions hnve mostly disappeared from tbRt vicinity; but other sections of the country seem to understand the value of apple-tree wood. It is stated in the Country Gentleman that a fruit pTower of Cayuga sold to a well-known firm of saw-makers of Philadelphia? Disston & Sons?the trunks of some of their trees, which were cut away because the trees had grown too closely together, to the value of $500. In this case the wood was, of course, UKCtl for the handles of saws.?Boston Cultivator. Utah, including the improvements made by the Mormons, is worth $24, 727,579.

T \ ULGAFJA, a principality o I?the Danube, hns again com t j pelled the Eerions attentio: Q of the European Powers by i series of dramatic spectaclee, begin ning with the tragic death of Majo Panitza and culminating in the ver recent sacrifice of M. Stambouloff, ex Premier of the Government, at th> hands of a mob. Bulgaria is n political division o *"? rr i ?-x ^ European lurivey, wmcu Bireiuue along the ripht bank of the Danub from the influx of the Timok to it inouUi. On the east it is washed the Black Sea and on the west it i contiguous to Servia. It is not ii Bulgaria that the Bulgar is most nu merously found. 1'heee people ar< scattered from the Danube to thi Black Sea, thence to Eastern Albania The Turkish Empire contains 4,000, 000; Servin, 100,000; the Bulgariai colony in Bessarabia numbers 70,000 9000 are located in Bolgrad, on Lak< Yalpuk. The divisions of Bulgaria are calle< "Sandjaks." They are Rustchuk Nisia, Widdin, Tirnova, Sofia, th capital, Vanna and Tulcha. The popu lation is of the most mixed descrip tion, consisting of native Bulgarians Osmanli Turks, Tartars, Circassians Albanians, Roumanians, gypsies, Jews Armenians, Russians, Greeks, Ser vians, Germans and Italians, with a few Arabs. The Bulgarians do not appear 11 history until the year 120 B. C. Tliec a band of them went to Armenia tc to escape persecution and settlet on the banks of the Arases. The] are of Finnish origin, and have thi high cheek bones, thin hair an< other personal characteristics of tha people. Like the unfortnDate Armen ians, the Bulgarians have been th< victims of despotic masters from th< early history of the Nation until with in the past ten years, when peace ant prosperity began to take the place o s? ?3/ turbulence and oppression. Russia withdrew from its political affairs, at least ostensibly, and the reign ol Prince Ferdinand, its present ruler, brought commercial activity as well at social tranquility. After many years of discouragement indmuch bloodshed, it could not be ex pected that all the arts and industrief tvould be iD a flourishing condition, Sood schools have been established: Prince Ferdinand, himself an accom plished scholar, insisted upon having bis subjects educated, and did not approve of sending them to Russia oi Ronmania, as formerly, to imbibe with their learning alien principles. Re suits or me new scnooi bjsiclli uiub be foreshadowed yet.

The] even pointed to their former Premier, StambonloflF, a man who had reachec his high position after three years o: schooling at Odessa, as ample prool not of his great force of character, but of the sufficiency of his education The Bulgarian temperament is child like in its simplicity.

It began when an enemy lurked j j in every bush, at everv door. ] Bulgaria has an army of some 90,- i t 000 trained soldiers, but it is believed i - that if necessary, 175,000 could be i i raised at a bugle call. This does not i , mean that every man is a boldier, but ] ; these people possess, in a large de- i gree, the traits that make good sol; diers. They are less passionate than i the fighters of other countries but i r more amenable to discipline, and they 1 t fight for a principle and not for glory i or revenue. One of the grudges held : t against M. Stambouloff was his taking i i a commission of 330,000 francs on the ? * ' 4?1_?. ^ l rrn AAA "\f i purcnase irom Ausiria 01 <u,vuu iuuuu" licher rifles. It-was intimated that he should have given the Government the money. It is said that in all the country 1 there are not five millionaires, nor fifty who can estimate their wealth 1 over $100,000. On the other hand, 1 nearly all tho people have small in- ' comep, derived from estates left to 1 them, or acquisitions of their own, so ^ that they seldom need assistance, thus ^ reducing pauperism to a minimum. A Bulgarian fisherman is one of the ^ attractive features of the Danube. He 1 combines two professions, that of 1 fisherman and basket weaver. When 1 he camps beside the beautiful blue Danube, he builds a roof of branches to shelter him from the sud, and to sleep under at night, and as he watches his fish, he weaves baskets of twigs ^ and oisers or other material which he prepares himself, and takes them with him to Widdin, where he goes to sell his fish. There being only one basket factory in Bulgaria, he makes good ' sales. \ The religion of the country is the same as that of Russia, the ceremonies 1 of the Greek Church being inter. mingled with old Slavonic super, stitions. There are 183 feast days, 1 and nearly as many more fast days, j Picnics are held in graveyards, so that ) the dead may participate in spirit.

He was famous as a player in j le Scotland when he was only a boy, and j t is was first called the "Herd Laddie."

' ^ 1820, his father being at the time a Sergeant-Major in the Scots Grays. ' ? He was apprenticed to a weaver in 1 jj. Kilmarnock, Aryshire, when a mere j boy, but his remarkable abiliiy in ,'i draughts was recognized in time to ^ prevent him from learning the weaver's aj trade. When he was fifteen years old he had beaten everybody who could be * induced to play the game with himin Kilmarnock. His fame was increased ' by a number of matches with Proj fessor Andrew Anderson, Robert "1 Martins and other celebrated players. ig who first defeated him and then were a# beaten by him. For many years Wyllie went abont the country peddling watches as a regular bnsiness and playing checkers [,e for money against all comers. For more than twenty years he has been traveling about the world, charging a "shullen" for every game played with him, and occasionally contesting matches for stakes, which he usually ' has won. He came to this country in 1 1873 and played over 11,000 games of : checkers, of which he lo9t less than j fifty. In 1881 he again visited America, 3 and won 17,654 out of 19,517 games, I drawing 1754 and losing only 109. As < he charged Americans twenty-five 1 cents a game for the privilege of play- i ing with him, he must have earned a ] fair income. j Wyllie claimed the title of "cham- t pion draughts player of the world" j until last year, when he was beaten by < James Ferrie, a much younger Scotch ^ player, in a match of ninety games, of j which Ferrie won thirteen and Wyllie t six, the remaining games being drawn. 1 After the match the old man said des* ( pairingly, "I doot I'm too auld for ( HrAn<rhtR." but since then he has t O ?
