Apples in the South-
Cor. Home amt Farm.
j A groat error and misapprehen-
I ®iou Las heretofore, and does yet,
exist regarding tho capacity of the
South for producing apples. Thou*
sands ot intelligent men tally be-*
lievo that it is impossible to raise
good winter-keeping apples here,
anduhai.it is necessary to look to
tho North for their good keeping
varieties. That this impression has
not originated because of climate
nnstiited to the healthy growth ot
applee, is abundantly shown bv the
successful production of summer
and fall varieties; but it is an evi
dent fact that tho scarcity of good
winter fruit is referable to a groat
mistake of selecting winter varie
ties of Northern States which, al
though well adapted to tho districts
where they originated, aro of no val
ue whatever in our climate, as the
heat of summer months forces them
into permalure ripening and causes
them to full from the treo nnd with
the hopes and anticipations of the
grower.
Every district must therefore
look to its own nativo seedlings for
long-keeping varieties, and a prop
er selection ol these will not fail to
be successful, na experience has
proved and will prove. I consider
tho apple te bo the surest nnd most
successful of all fruits, except tbo
grace, and one which seems to
udapt itscll to all soils and locali
ties. The apple so far as my obser
vation extends, is, liable to little or
or no diseases, and may bo consid.
ered safe and reliable if winter va
rieties nro selected with care from
your own native seedlings. A cus
tom prevails with tho pooplo of tho
South of considering their best win
ter varieties worthless, as they are
not palatable when first taken from
the trees. If they would lay them
away until they trad time to ripen
they would find that they posseosod
an untold treasure.
Condensed Novelties.
Mrs Hunter was carrying two bun
dles aboard the day boat for Albany,
in New York, when Mr Snyder kindly
relieved her of helf the burden. On
deck they sailed up the Hudson they
rapidly grew well acquainted, though
previously total strangers. He was a
widower, aged 61, and an Ulster coun
ty farmer; she was a widow aged 35,
and a seamstress in New York. He
asked her to marry him. She was
surprised, but not offended. She ask
e 1 for time to think the offer over.
Certainly—he would give her until the
boat reached Newburg, Then she
must go ashore with him and get mar
ried, 01 stay on board and remain sin
gle. Just as the plank was about to
be hauled in at Newburg, she said
“Yes,” and the couple went off with
the two bundles. A justice perform
ed the ceremony and Mr. and Mrs.
Snyder travelled on by rail.
The roost candid young man in
Austin says the Siftings is Nicodemus
Murphy. He called at the office of a
wealthy citizen and came right out
and said: “I want to marry your
daughter; I can’t live without her.”
"Are pou acquainted with my daugh
ter?” ,r Not in the least.” ‘ How,
then, do you know you can’t live with
out her?” “Well, I hear you were
going to give her lots of money when
she married, and my personal expen.
ses are so heavy I can’t live without
her—or some other woman who has
got money to support a husband.
When “You Town Niggers
’Vides”
From the Walton, On., News.
Saturday night as we were passing
down the street we heard a country
make the following remarks to a town
colored politician, who had been beg
ging him to vote as he said: You
town niggers needn’ say nothing to me
'bout votin’. You has your generals,
your captains and your corprals, and
every one of you git money for votin’,
and we country niggers never gits
none. You may call me dimicrat or
publican, jes’ as you please, but I’se
gwine to vote jost as I please, less’n
you town niggers vides your money
wid me and then I’ll sorter begin to
listen at you.

A Child Worth Her Weight
in Gold.
A few years ago a steamer was
coming from California, Tho cry
of Fire, tiro 1’ suddenly thrilled ev
ery heart. Every effort was made
to stay tho llames, but in vain. It
soon became evident that tbo ship
must be lost. The burning mass
was headed for sh re whiclt was not
far off. A pnsseuger was seen buck,
liug his belt ol gold around his
waist, ready to plunge into tho
waxes. Just then a pleading voice
arrested hint:
Please, sir, can you swim ?
A child's blue eves xvere piercing
into his deepest soul as he looked
down upon her.
‘Yes, child, I can swim,'
‘Well, sir, won't you pleaso save
me ?
I cannot do both, lie thought. ‘I
must save the child and lose the
gold, lint a moment ugo I was
anxious for this whole ship's com.
panyjnowl ant doubting who'.her
I shall oxehange human lilo for
paltry gold.* 1 Unbuckling the belt
be cast it from him and said, ‘Yes,
little girl, I will try to save you/
Stooping down ho liudo her clasp
her hands around his neck. ‘Thus,
child; not so tight ns to cboKo m< .
Thore, hang on noxv, aud I will try
to make land."
The child bowed herself on his
broad shoulders, and clung to her de
liverer. With a heart thrice strength
ened and an arm thrice nerved, he
struck out for shore. Wave after
wave washed over them. Still the
brave man held out, and the dear
child on, until a mighty mountain bil
low swept the sweet treasure from his
embrace, and cast him senseless on
the bleak rocks. Kind hands minis
tered to him. Recovering his con
sciousness, the form of the dear child
met his earnest gaze, bending over
him with more than angel ministra
tions, and blessing him xvith mute hut
eloquent benedictions.
Saving our Own Seed.
Those who take pride in the
quality of their garden products
may gain a Urge point by saving
t'loirown seeds. It is time the ax
iom wore accepted by every farmer
' n 1 gardner that without selection
in seed, quality will degenerate.
No good farmer would bo willing
to plant, on his farm corn of the av
erage commercial quality. Yet I hat
is just what we do when we buy
garden seeds of the common seeds
man, It is no imputation against
tbo integrity of tbo seedman to say
that while h 1 requires seeds by the
hundred bushels, he cannot use the
sumo caro iu selection tbo gardner
nmy who requires but a few quarts
or ouncos. A who is un
usually successful in growing cab
bugos, once told mo that bis chief
secret was iu his seed, and that if
he were to purclmso seed of the
quality offered by ordinary seed
men, be should expect only failure.
Another gardner, who is very suc
cessful with cauliflowers, roooatiy
tokl me that ho could never get a
good head from sood sold in this
country, Hu sent to England and
purchased seed of a firm who make
cauliflowers a speciality, and then
ho had no trouble in getting heads
of first quality. ‘Bnt,‘ h 9 added, ‘I
was surprised to find that English
seed is very much mixed, —South-
ern Farmer,
The reason why the thermometer
does not always accord with the
comparative discomfort of hot
weather is owing to variation ol
moisture in the air. While the hu
man body is all the time giving off
perspiration, either sensible or in
sensible, this evaporation will go on
more rapidly when the air contains
but little moisture than when it con
tains a great deal. Evaporation is
cooling when it has n > obstruction;
but when it is obstructed by moist
air, the reverse effect is produced,
and a temperature of 80 degrees Is
quito as oppressive as that of 90
when the air is dry.
Only about one out of ten negro
cabins in the South have windows.
When the occupants want any day
light for any particular purpose they
walk out-doors.
The Baptist WeeKly says: It
should make Christiana blush to
know that the bees in this country
do much mere in making honey
than the churches of all denomina
tions in raising money for missions.
The value of the honey crop ex
ceeds $8,000,000 annually, while
CJiitribulions for foreign missions
amount to less than $2,500,'300/
