From the most remote periods tlx apple has been the subject of prais among writers and poets. The alle gorical tree of knowledge bore ap ?? ?J j-i-i *?- e j.1. - l 1 pies, ana xne iruix ox me umiuiu of Hesperus, guarded by tlio sleep less dragon, which it was one of th triumphs of Hercules to slay, wer also apples. Among the heathen gods of tlx north there were apples fabled t< possess the power of conferring im mortality, which were care full; watched over by the goddess Idum and kept for the especial dessert o the gods who felt themselves grow ing old. As the mistletoe grew chiefly oi the apple and the oak, the forme tree was looked upon with reverend by the Druids, and even to this da; in some parts of England the cus torn of saluting the apple tree ii the hope of good crops linger anions farmers. - Q The apffle is most perfectly nut uralized in America, and in tin northern and middle portions o the United States succeeds as wel as or, as we believe, better than h any other part of the world. No fruit is more universally like< than the apple. It is exceed ingl; wholesome and medicinally is con sidered cooling and laxative and use ful in all inflammatory diseases. A the earliest sorts ripen about tin last of June and the latest can h preserved until that season, it ma; be considered as a fruit in perfectioi the whole year. Besides its merits for the dessert the value of the apple is still greate for the kitchen, and in sauces, pies tarts, preserves and jellies and roast ed and boiled this fruit is a constan and invaluable resource of the kitch en.?Xew England Grocer. * ANIMAL STORIES. ? Same of the Views and Superstition: of the Ancients. The knowledge of animals ani N their habits which existed amon< on/iioTf Orool-c nnrJ Rnmnns \vn< mv anvi^uv v?*wnw uuu most fantastic. Among other snakes described ir the ancient natural histories, for ex ample, was the basilisk, which Pliny called the."king of serpents." Ac cording to the description, it was ma feet Vng. wore a white crest 01 its head ana r.ad a skin -potted wit! white. Such was the abundance o: its venom, according to these re P9rts, that it made the body shin* all over. The air was poisonec where this vile reptile passed, ant great plants were envenomed will its subtle and luminous fluid, whiii 'the birds in turn fell before thi odor exhaled by the trees. But thi monster was an easy prey to thi weasel. The dragon was the largesi of serpents and inhabited especially Ethiopia and Egypt. When he flev out of his cavern he furrowed thi air with such violence that it gleam ed with Are. His mouth was small and it was not the wounds which i inflicted which made him so formi dable, but the strangling power o: his tail, which was capable of de stroying even elephants. T+ la irk TirkfirkO t In it is IUICICOUUq vv liV v1v v- ??<mv v.t. mythical dragon was already evolv ing toward the boa constrictor. Th< real siren lived in Arabia and "wa: a sort of white serpent which ran s< marvelously that most men sav i flew." Most of the facts which are re corded concerning birds are mor< accurate, for the sport of falconr only made men observers of tlieii habits. Still there are a few strang< myths concerning the eagle. li< was said to seize his young in hi: talons and to make them iix theii even 011 the burning rays of the sun 'Inose alone that could gaze without flinching were kept and nourishes .as worthy of life. ''This is not cruel ty," says the simple writer, "bu judgment." The eagle had the pow er of renewing youth. Mounting hichcr and higher, till his plume: were burned by the sun, lie fell int( a fountain, where he bathed thre< times ami was thoroughly rejuvenat ed. The habits of the ostrich, an ok book said, were regulated by a sta: named Virgil. When the star be gait to rjse the astute Dira iaia n: eggs, covered them with sand ant Jpft their hatching to the sun. An other remarkable thing was the in fluem-e which the chanticleer exer tdsed over the king of beasts. Hi: ?hrill crow put him in full flighteven Pliny says so-?but to do thii Jiis plumage had to be pure white. Wrote a Sermon When Six Years Old Kichard Le ^Gallienne, the notec essayist, was v%y proud of a sermor lie wrote at the age of six. Hii mother gave him ? text to write 01 in order to keep him quiet. ''I for get the text," sdld Le Gallienne ' but I remember well how proud ] was of mv sermon and how neath I fastened the pages together witf a brand new paper fastener." TPRPRPJP A CHEFS EASY JOB.

It is entitled the Museum of Peace and War and is I intended as a complete history of v war from the earliest times. The - contents are warlike arms of all - ages and nations, books, prints reps resenting the horrors'of war in their s; most realistic aspect and everything e that can throw a candid light upon f a grim subject. The founder of the i museum is M.

The Locomotive as a Coal Eater. The total coal production of the United States is now at the rate of 1.000.000 tons per day, and the cons sumption of coal by railroads is equal to 40 per cent of fhis, or 400,1 000 tons per day. The fuel bill of a r railroad contributes about 10 per j cent of the total expense of operation and 00 to 40 per cent of the j total cost of running the locomotives. A locomotive will consume on an average $5,000 worth of coal ' per annum, and for a road having " an equipment of 1,000 locomotives 3 the coal bill is approximately $5,1 000,000.?Railway Age.

Curious Jail. ; The mo.?t curious prison in the world is in the island of Sark, e ii:' K* >pot in the home dominion oi England. They have very good folk in Sark, and crime is so infrequenl that an "open door jail" is the only penal institution in the place. There are very few arrests. The most recent was of a woman accused oi stealing handkerchiefs. She was placed in jail, and all oi the sympathizing women of the island sat around the door and told her stories to pass away the time. The next morning she walked out to the magistrate's house and asked whether he would release her if she promised to be good and not steal any more handkerchiefs. lie said she might go and formally released her in his capacity as warder.

Opium, from which morphia is obtained, is extracted from the milky juice of the opium poppy. The juice is obtained by making slight incisions in the capsule while in a green but full grown state. The juice soon hardens and is scraped off and formed into balls. The seeds are free of narcotic qualities and may be eaten. The plant has become naturalized in almost all temperate and subtropical climes and attains a height of from three to four feet. The various colored flowers which are borne appear in July.
