' THE APPLE.
Famous In All Ages From the Mos
Remote Periods.
From the most remote periods tlx
apple has been the subject of prais
among writers and poets. The alle

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.

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

and invaluable resource of the kitch

Among other snakes described ir

called the."king of serpents." Ac

its venom, according to these re
P9rts, that it made the body shin*

'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.

real siren lived in Arabia and "wa:
a sort of white serpent which ran s<
marvelously that most men sav i

Most of the facts which are re
corded concerning birds are mor<

myths concerning the eagle. li<

hichcr and higher, till his plume:

a fountain, where he bathed thre<

The habits of the ostrich, an ok
book said, were regulated by a sta:
named Virgil. When the star be

eggs, covered them with sand ant

other remarkable thing was the in

f Museum of Peace and War.
1 | A strange museum lias been found31
ed at Lucerne. 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. Jean de Bloch, a
wealthy Pole who is philanthropic
, and perhaps a little eccentric, and he
r has chosen Lucerne for the site as
, laung the place most likely to at
tract the largest number of cosmot
politan visitors.
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

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. As
constable also he offered no obstacle
to her immediate departure. '

The Opium Poppy.
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.
In endeavoring to prevent the use of
opium the government of China in

property of British merchants, which

Ten Sensible Suggestions Which An
I Not Hard to Follow.
! Most writers, ancient and modern
agree on the following circum
^ stances as favorable to longevity:
1. To be born of healthy, lon$
1 lived parents.
2. To live in the temperate zone.
3. To live in the country ant
1 much in the open air.
4. To be accustomed to daily la
bor.
5. To be temperate in eating ant
drinking.
To which may be added these ter
commandments of hygiene from i
French medical review:
1. Pise early, retire early, fill youi
day with work.
2. Water and bread maintain life
pure air and sunshine are neoessan
to life.
3. Cleanlidfcss prevents rust. The
best cared for machine lasts the
longest.
4. Practice frugality and sobriety
5. Enough sleep repairs waste and
strengthens; too much softens and
enfeebles.
(i. To be sensibly dressed, with
freedom of movement and sufficient
warmth.
7. A clean and cheerful house
makes a happy home.
8. The inind is refreshed and invigorated
by distractions and amusements,
but abuse of them leads tc
dissipation and dissipation to \ire,
0. Cheerfulness makes love of
life, and love of life is half of health,
Sadness and discouragement hasten
old age.
10. Do you gain your living by
your intellect? Then do not allow
your arms and legs to grow stiff,
Do you earn your bread bv your
pickax? Dot not forget to cultivate
your mind.?Kquitable Record.
