CONNECTICUT CIDER.
A. TREMENDQUS CROP OF APPLES
TO MA.KE IT THIS YEAR.
Borne of the Famous Cider Drinkers of
the Good Old Days Before Beer
Came Into Vogue—Nathan Wells’
Short Supply.
From the New York Sun.
Norwich, Nov. 5. —Connecticut is trying
to stow away oue of the biggest apple crops
it ever raised, and the prosiectof unlimited
applejack, orchard tea (as cider is called in
the country towns), and apple sauce next
winter is a very rosy one. There are too
many apples. Hundreds of bushels of
choice fruit have been fed to stock and
thousands more have been left to rot under
the trees. Barrels are just about as valu
able empty as they are with apples in them.
Fine fruit is sold at 20c. a bushel or 50c. a
barrel. The supply of barrels has been ex
hausted, and the farmers are grinding the
crop into cider. All the teams in the State
are not equal to the task of carting the
apples to the mills, although an endless pro
cession of apple carts jogs over the hills along
the country roads all day and until late at
night, while the mills have orders for grind
> mg for weeks ahead.
Most of the mills are of the old-fashioned
’kind, like a coffee-grinder, entirely of wood.
The apples are poured through a hopper
upon wooden crushers, that revolve just as
slowly as a slow country horse, attached to
a crooked, weather-beaten beam that turns
its apparatus, can walk around in a circle
without falling down through loss of mo
mentum, By long and bitter experience a
• •ldor-mill Jiorse has learned that he never
gets anywhere by walking around a cider
mill, and becomes an expert at
conservation of motion; therefore the cider
producing capacity of Connecticut is
greatly handicapped. Near the mill is the
press, an equally old-fashioned structure.
On a low wooden platform the “cheese,”
composed of alternate layexs of straw, and
the pumice from the I'lUi, is built up in a
nicely cut cube, and two iron screws des •
cend from the eroax beam In the single
frame that rises above the platform and
press out the juice which runs along shal
low channels exit in the piatfoim, into a tub
beneath. Cider making is slow work by this
process, which is the same that was in
vogue in the colonial times, but Connecti
cut farmers prefer it to any other.
An old-fashioned cider "mill is *he centi'e
©f a gay and breezy scene at this season,
and The farther back among the hills the
mill’is the cheerier is the scene and, the
more mai’vellous are the stories told of past
cider-drinking periods. In an orchard dotted
with heaps of red and yellow apples not far
from this city a couple of old-time fanners
were discussing near a cider mill the other
day the smart men who drank cider fifty or
sixty years ago
“Folks don’t drink cider as they used to
when I was a boy,” said one, “ an’ in my
'pinion it's all the wuss for ’em. They hev
took ter swillin’ beer now a-days, an’ it’s
bout as bad as so much pizen. It warps
ther kidneys, an’ they die o’ Bright’s disease
or some other cur’us disease, an’ if they don’t
do that they get full an’ fight, an’ git locked
up by the police. Forty year ago every
body drank rider, an’ drank it all ther time,
an’ yer never heer-d of any o’ them sing’lar
diseases an’ suddin deaths. It wuz a blamed
poor farmer in them days that didn’t put
up from fifteen ter thirty borr’l a year, an’
afore the next year swung round ther warn’t
none on it left, nuther. It all went down
slick’s yer please, an’ ther warn't nobody
drunk. Some drank more’n others, of
ootii’se. There alius will be such; but no-,
body was hurt as I know of.
“There was Nathan Wells, of Salem; he
alius put up sixty or seventy barr’l, an’
only himself ter drink it. But one year he
laid down only forty barr’l, an’ Tong in
hayin’ time he got out o’ eider. Just at
ther very wurst time, ye see. But he went
right inter the field like a man, an’ he says
fair and squar ter his hired man: ‘Bill, I
ain’t got a drink o' cider in ther cellar. I’m
clean out. So ye’ll have to make out on
runt. I only put down forty barr’l lost fall,
but ye’ll never catch me in such a scrape
again. This year I’ll put down somecider.’
Perhaps Nathan carried the thing l'ather
tew fur, but it never hurt him, as I said.
He came of a cider-drinking family, ye
understan’. He had one sister that
cud drink as much ciaer as Nathan
cud, an’ she cud lift as much as one of
the boys. The hull on ’em was a family o’
giants, an’ this sister I speak of, it was a
common thing for her to take up a forty
gallon barr’l full o’ cider an’ drink outer the
bung. These boys an’ girls all lived to good
old age. But I’d like ter see ther beer
drinker that ever lived out his days, or cud
take tip a beer cask an’git a swaller outer
ther bung. Did ye ever hear o’ one? No,
sir. Their blood all turns ter water, but
cider makes good blood.
“A ruther big cider drinker was Albert
Rood o’ Colobester. In hayin’ time he
wanted just an even barr’l o’ eider a week
to keep him good-natered an’ well-iled, and
then he cud cut the biggest swath in the
gang—just seven foot at a clip, five feet o’
scythe an’ two foot o’ swath. He was a
ruther powerful matt —pieh a cask o’ cider
right inter a cart an’ lug it down cellar; an’
he didn’t need no help. I rec’lcct well his
packin’ a hull sack of rock salt from New
London to Colchester, ’bout eighteen miles,
an’ it didn’t weigh a pound less than 300.
Tbet’s the kind o’ men they used ter raise on
hard cider an’ fried pork. But they don’t
raise none of ’em to-day on beer.”
The Connecticut farmer has long main
tained a famous reputation for hard cider
drinking, aud, notwithstanding the forego
ing lament at the decadence or the habit,
there are not a few old farmers in the back
country towns who stow away as many
barrels of the amber-colored fluid each fail
as did Nathan Wells. They drink the
greater part of it, too. John Slain, of Led
vard, for instance, has just put down forty
barrels of it in his cellar, tiud ho said to the
writer a few days ago: “Drink it? Of
'■ourse I’ll drink it. Perhaps I may make a
barrel or two into vinegar, but the best
Part of it, you can bet, will get
pretty well acquainted with me and the
neighbors that drop in before next fall
at this time.” Rocky, bushy North Ston
ington is another hard cider drinking town,
and at this season the centre of the cellar
in every farmhouse is enfiladed by butteries
of "working” ban-els of cider. Everybody
who chances to stop at a North Btoningtou
farmer’s home, if the occasion be only to in
quire the way along the devious road, is in
vited at once to “step ’round tew the other
side of the house, stranger, and try a pitcher
of cider, won’t ye?” A North Ntonington
dweller never asks a rnuit to tako anything
less than a pitcher of cider; drinking cider
out of a glass is considered to U a trifling
action. In the strict pi-olilbition period,
a few years ago, when cider was
under tho ban, that town caused the
prosecuting officer more trouble t han all the
rest of the county. The North Ktonington
fanners fought the law with the dogged
resolution of their ancestors who wei-e be
hind the rail fence at Bunker Hill; it was a
daring officer who penetrated into that re
gion to an-est a violator, and a liquor spy
on similar business bent was likely to re
turn from that town wearing a tar and
feather duster over his other apparel. It is
emong the North Stonington hills that the
appellation “Orchard tea” is still popularly
’’Tplied to cider, and it is an open question
■whether the name originated in the fancy
of the ancient genius of that town or of
Fairfield or Litchfield county.
It puzzles the Connecticut farmers to ae
fTl'int fox- the excessive yield of apples this
season, as IRB7 is an “off year,” the “even
years” being the apple-producing yeai-s. A
•Tirioug explanation is given by one agrieul
fiual observer, who maintains that triesea
ton of 1881, in which there was frost in each
month, fairly reversed the old rule. Frosts
m May and June in that year killed most of
the fruit buds or young apples, and the bar
,- ti trees made tip for failure of the crop
' bat season by hearing next vear. On some
Lees the frost kiljed only half the buds, and
those trees now bear half a crop each year.
The Scientist is unable to say whether the
Connecticut apple trees will ever work back
into the old order of bearing.
SHE CAN EVERLASTINGLY KICK.
The Hight Art of a Moclest Member of
a Company Entertaining Chicago.
F\om the Chicago Tribune.
This is the story of a little girl. Her
name is Sara. She is a modest, unassum
ing, slender, blonde-haired, blue-eved little
thing, the daughter of a country curate in
England, a prim, ascetic gentleman of high
church tendencies. Her father had a big
family, and when Sara was very little she
thought she would like to go to London ami
earn her own living. She went to London,
and pretty soon her father heard that Sara
had gone play acting. The good xnan was
horrified, and after vainly trying to wean
her back to the paths of rectitude and the
position of a nursery governess at £lO
a year, solemnly excommunicated her. By
and by he heard that Sara was earning £SO
a week as a high kicker in the Royal Alham
bra in London., His heart yearned for his
erring daughter, mid Sara was once xnox-e
reconciled with her family.
All this happened many years ago—not
very many, but just as many as Sara would
like to have told in cold print—and since
then Sara has earned her bread by the
height of her kick. Sara is the highest fe
male kicker on earth, and she doesn’t care
who knows it. She kicked herself $250 a
week for ten years. She can kick two
feet higher than her head. She can kick a
hole in the top of the scenery on any stage
in town. She kicked a staid assem
bly of German matrons at the Cri
terion matinee yesterday afternoon
into temporary delirium. Those pious peo
ple in Boston said she kicked so high that
she kicked a hole in the Ten Commandments
every time, and when Sara saw that in the
papers, she at once kicked for a higher sal
ary'. But it wasn’t true, for Sara is a
modest kicker. She is not a suggestive kick
er; she Is a gymnast. She is as modest a
little girl as ever stood on her head or can
canned herself for the amusement of a bald
headed band of spectators. She is an aspir
ing artiste. In the practice of the art she
has reached the heights hitherto unattaina
ble. She is nn exponent of the high art—
art a foot higher than anybody elite’s.
There was a dance by the corps de ballet,
then a preliminary blare of t rumpets, a mo
ment’s silent*, and—Sai'a. It was a rush
and a flash and a vision of black legs and
black gauze and diamonds. She bounds in
like a firefly and whirls around the stage
like autumn leaves in a cyclone. Her feet,
shoots around in circles, her arms and head
and body spin in wild delirium. You would
think—if you had time to think —that she
was going to kick herself into fragments
and spatter the show with her remains.
Presently her little slippered foot ascends
with lightning-like velocity and strikes a
point a long way above her flying
imir, then whirls around "and
gyrates about her shoulders and comes
down again, then up and around as before.
She is apparently made of rubber anti
whalebone; her kicking is as the revolutions
of a fly-wheel or a buzz-saw with a full
head of steam on; she throws her feet
around her neck and kicks herself in the
back of the head—she is weird, fantastic,
diabolical. She is an acrobatic imp of dark
ness. Her dancing is a sudden tempest, an
outburst of reckless passion, a giddying
flash. Aud most delightful withal. It is
not what chestnut venders call the poetry of
motion; it is hardly even graceful. A
cyclone is not graceful. Sam is a terpsi
chorean cyelone. And the peculiax - thing
of it is that the strictest moralist might
watch her performance and never turn a
hair.
THE LIGHTNING CALCULATOR.
Reuben Fields, of Kentucky, and His
Wonderful Feats with Figures.
Ouringsville (A'j/ ) Letter to the Courier-Journal.
Reuben Fields, a most exti’aordinary in
dividual, has returned to his home near this
place, after an absence of some years in the
West. Fields is known far and wide as the
“Mathematical Prodigy,” and, indeed, he is
a most wonderful creature. Perfectly
illiterate, not being able to tell one letter or
figure from another, he bears the same re
lation to the science of mathematics that
Blind Torn does to music. Fields is now
about twenty-eight years of age, and his
ability to quickly and coxrectly solve the
most difficult problems was discovered when
he was but eigln yearn old. That faculty
continued to develop until he is able to solve,
with lightning-like rapidity, any problem
in simple or compound fractions, or any
thing in the higher branches of mathem
atics. For instance, the moon is a certain
number of miles from the earth; a grain of
com is so long; how may grains will it take
to connect the points? The answer to this
or any other problem conies like a flash, lie
can also tell U> the fraction of a second the
time of day or night. The marvellous man
has been tested by the most expert mathe
maticians and his answers to problems bat e
been found to lie invariably correct.
Scientists have examined Fields s head and
pronounce his woinlrotisly developed fac
ulty a profound mytery to them. Fields
knows little else than this extraordinai'y
ability. He claims that his power in this
respect is a direct gift from his Creator and
liable to be taken away from him if not
properly used. The possessor of this gift
never went to school a day in bis life, aud
never did a day’s work, except to occasion
ally aid merchants in invoicing their goods,
and in this business he has been known to
keep a score or more of clerks busy footing
up columns of figures. He is a very large
man and has a look the reverse of intelligent.
Having no occupation, he lives among his
acquaintances, putting up wherever night
overtakes him. He is very proud of his gift
and frequently compares himself to Bamson.
Fields gave an exhibition of his powexs be
fore Gov. Crittenden and another distin
guished men of Missouri on a late visit West,
and they unhesitatingly pronounce him one
of the greatest wonders of the centui-y.
A NUMISMATIC SUPERSTITION.
TUe Curious Belief as to Queen Anne's
Farthings.
From Harper's Young People.
There is a popular belief throughout Eng
land that only tlu-ee farthings were struck
in all Queen Anne's reign. Two of these
farthings are supposed to be in the hands of
the British government, but the thix-d is
still in circulation, and of fabulous value to
the lucky man who secures if, Now the
truth is that there were no less than eight
different coinings of tho Queen Anne’s far
thing, and, so far from being rate, it is
worth absolutely nothing to the collector;
but this fact, although published again and
again, is powerless to destroy its reputation.
Now and then a poor countryman finds
one in his possession, and believes his
fortune made until he is rudely unde
ceived when he tries to sell his timsure.
Once a Yorkshire laboi’er walked
all the way to London, with his wife tramp
ing wearily by his side, solely in order to
secure the highest possible bidder for the
mysterious farthing which was to buy him
a farm of his own. Once a shop boy spied
such a coin in his master’s till, and, unable
to l’esist the temptation, he stole it, leaving
another in its place. For weeks the foolish
lad went al>out dreaming of his good fox--
tune, until his desire for iriches overcame
his prudence, and he rashly offered the
prize for sale. Explanations lollowed, and
his master, learning of the transaction, at
once had the boy arrested. Now, although
his intentions were dishonest, the latter had
really stolen nothing, for the farthing he
put in the till was quite as good as the one
he took out; but, alas! the fame of the
Queen Anne coin proved his undoing. The
jury could not be brought to look upon It
as a common bit of money, worth only its
face value, and the unfortunate apprentice
was actually found guilty of robbery and
sentenced to twelve months’ imprisonment,
being thus punished not for the wrong he
did. but for the wrong he meant to do.

GOULD’S COMMON CLOTHES.
How He Wore Them on Hie Way to
Business in an Elevated Car.
From the .Vnr York Sun.
It has come to be so much the established
custom of rich men to dress like Impover
ished clerks that a importer was a good deal
interested to inspect the clothing of Jay
Gould, as the garments appeared upon him
in a Ninth avenue elevated train. In nearly
all respects he complies with tradition. He
had come down from Irvington in his yacht,
and, according to ids habit, the Atalanta
was tied up at a wharf near Twenty-third
street. North river. From there he walked
two blocks to the elevated raili’oatl station,
where he passed the gateman without pay
ing the regulation nickel for the privilege of
a ride. He nfct an elderly gentleman on the
platform, who took a good deal of evident
pleasure in sitting beside the magnate on tho
wav down town. When Mr. Gould sat down
he f earned bark against the window, crossed
his legs’ and, tilting his head over toward
his friend, begun to talk to him in a
thoughtful, earnest way, while he occasion
ally patted his own knees with a folded
newspaper. He had on a modest black
derby hat that might have been a l-elio of
last season,for it was not in the current style.
His overcoat was unbuttoned. It was a
dark blue, single-breasted garment that
came down to lus knees, and the skirts
turned up at the edges, in evidence that it
had been carelessly sat. upon many, many
times. His suit was of one piece, made up
in anything but a stylish way, aud worn
without regard to appearances. A one
button cutaway coat was not buttoned. His
trousers were of leas than medium width.
His shoes wei - e of heavy material, made ap
liarently for comfort only, and fastened
wit h buttons at the side. The top button
of one shoe was off; the lower button of
the other was not. fastened —the buttoner
probably would not work satisfactorily.
They were blackened, but the polish looked
as if it hud lieen put on the night before.
Beneath his beard, which shows a few gray
hairs here and there, appeared a stand-up
collar, with rather long points turned down
over a dark scarf. His manner was that of
a man with a good deal on his mind —the
Baltimore and Ohio telegraph deal was on
that very day at its critical point—but he
was not nervous, and in no way did he
show any consciousness that he might be
stal’d at by all persons in view.
After riding a few blocks Mr. Gould fold
ed his hands and stopped talking, looking
with an absorbed expression at the bell
rope. Then he turned and noticed that a
beardless young man at his side was read
ing a copy of one of the Wall street dailies.
He glanced quickly from the sheet to the
face of the reader, and presently when the
young man laid the paper down, Mr. Gould
asked permission to borrow it for a moment.
He turned the pages over rapidly, giving a
cursory glance at several columns, and
reading at least, one article through. Then
he returned it with nn absent minded
“thank you,” and resumed his conversation
with his friend. When ho rend the paper
lie took from his pocket the only evidence
of unusual means he displayed on the trip, a
gold-rimmed pair of eye-glasses attached to
his vest hy a silk cord. At Barclay street
he started up and looked out inquiringly out
of the window.
“Aren’t we there?” he asked of himself,
and then replied as he settled down again.
“No, it’s only' Barclay'.”
Histones were soft to a degree that made
it impossible to Imagine him acting as the
stern tyrant over a multitude of interests
and employes. He left the train at Cort
landt street to go to his office in the Western
Union building, and as lie rose the Wall
street paper fell from the young man’s lap
to the floor, where it lay unheeded until-a
man on the other side of the car said to the
young fellow:
“Do you know who it was that bori-owed
your paper?”
“No,” was tho reply; “who was it?”
“Jay Gould.”
“Is that so?” exclaimed the boy in aston
ishment, as he turned quickly about to get
a view of the disappearing financier. Then
he gi-avely stooped and picked up the dis
carded paper, folded it tendarly and put it
into his pocket. Nothing could have been
plainer than that the boy was an ambiti
ous novice in the sti’eet, that Jay Gould
was his hero, and t hat the precious paper
that the magnate had borrowed from him
to read was to lie preserved as a valuable
souvenir.
Three Canal Routes Compared*
From the New York Herald.
The route to be explored ithe Nicaragua)
is by all odds the best on tho Isthmus, It
offei’s more facilities and fewer difficulties
than any other, nnd will requii’e less expen
diture. Tho De Lessens ditch is tho most
hopeless task ever undertaken. No amount
of capital can make it a success. In the
course of a few years it will become n mon
strous myth. Money enough has already
been sunk there to build the Niea
ragua canal several times over, and it
is apparently no nearer completion than
ever. Nothing but a lomautic ixxtoi’est
in the hero of Suez, and a certain
popular feeling in France that De Lesseps
is a nian of destiny and cannot fail in any
undertaking, has carried it along thus far.
But even French eyes are beginning to open,
and further loans are given with consider
able hesitation. I-arge promises have proved
unavailing, and the project, with an
enormous debt hanging over ir. and only
one-fifth completed, halts and lags and in
the near future will come to a standstill. It
was always the worst, if not the impossible,
way from ocean to ocean.
The Eads railway from Tehuantepec was,
perhaps, the mast daring feat of engineer
ing ever pi’oposed. Its projector was a
skilled expert, a man of ideas mid great
originality of invention. But thexe has
always been a doubt in the minds of prac
tical" men as to the feasibility of his plan.
To take a large vessel up bodily, put tt in a
cradle on a railway, and carry it across
counti’y, was a matter which naturally ex
cited the fears of ship owners.. An injuiy
to their craft while in transit, and with "a
full cai’go on boaj-t!, would cause delay and
loss, which might largely counterbalance
the advantages to be gained by a shorter
passage. This doubt was a veiy serious
mattei’, and terribly handicapped the bold
scheme.
The Nicaragua l-oute, however, is com
paratively a simple affaii’. There are no
engineering difficulties which cannot be
easily overcome. There is plenty of water
on tne east and on the west which can he
utilized, and it is lielieved that when the
present company returns after its survey
the work of piercing the Isthmus at the
most available point will be commenced at
once.
Of course the commercial importance of
such a canal cannot be overestimated.
Thousands of miles of water passage will lie
avoided, and by that much New York aud
ouiv,Eastern seaboard, and, for that matter,
the Continent of Europe, will be brought
nearer to the Pacific markets. The dang
ers of Cape Horn will be got rid of, and the
whole western coasts of North and Kouth
America will be brought within a neighbor
ly distance.
