thft'jfalfrida, and thnt is handicapped
with two important fallings. First, it Ib
in extremely tardy bearer, and, second,
It lstf only secondary hardiness, n very
bad combination for this cllmato.

None of these rich, mellow varieties will

satrib caj-o,lshould bo tnkon in handling,
as with the summer fruit, and all wormy
and diseased apples rejected.
Afjer kho apples havo been properly
picked, the common mlstnko is mndo
jofrplacing them immediately in tho eel
flarv which at this tJmo of year is tho
worst poB8lblo placo. A clean, cool
shed or outhouso is the best placo for
them until there ia danger of freezing
rwcather, when thoy may bo removed to
tho cellar for tho winter. It is probably
(beat to allow tho boxes or barrels to
'remain open for a few days after ylac

closed up tight to provent too much

Starch from Potatoes.

but in New England potatoes nro ex

Wo nro glad to seo that tho matter Is

tatoes havo been sold this yenr at a

ly becnuso thoro was no other way of
disposing of them. Factories havo been
started In Minnesota, Wisconsin and

Forestry In India. Tho English
government Is trying to conserve the
forests of India and is having a hard
timo of it. Tho peoplo do not take
kindly to tho idea and set tho woods
on fire whenever thoy can do bo and not

for tho English to keep on hand a
largo number of guards for tho forest
it protects. Of tho total forest area
very little has as yet been placed un
der government protection. In the
provlnco of 'Bengal alono 1,889 square

'Non-Worked Butter. With the pro
gress of dairy science there Is a con
stant chango in the methods of hand
ling butter. The latest innovation is
tho process of making butter by which
all working IS avoided. The cream is
churned until tho butter has appeared
in granular form. Then the butter is
taken out, salted with brine, put into a
machino that throws out most of the
moisture and buttermilk by centrifugal
motion, put into molds and shaped for
use. It is thus made to retain all its
delicious flavor.

LEADING ISSUES.
Thn Fat Fryer nro nt Work for Mc
Klnlejr KnpnliUcnn Candidate nro Alt
1'rcparltiK far n Campaign of IntrJguo
nnil Corrut tlon.
From tho Chicago Chronicle: Wheth
er McKlnloy kill Ifeed or Itccd kill Mc
Klnloy, It la nobody's gain. Tho re
publican party will find nn npproprl
ato candidate.
Bill Chandler, Now England support
er of Tom Beod's candidacy, grows vit
riolic in denunciation of tho methods
by which tho McKlnloy canvass Is
urged forward. Fat Is fried out of
manufacturers In order to give a man
ufacturers' agent, Major McKlnloy of
Ohio, a lonso of the whlto house. They
wnnt him thero. He will bo useful to
them. Colonel Chnndler's objection la
not to use of money from tho manufac
turers. Ho thinks that Is proper. But
he wants tho general elcctorato de
bauched for tho benefit of tho repub
lican nominee and not the dobauch
ment of tho republican party In the
lntereat of a particular republican can
dldato. Ho Bees nothing wrong In tho
whole proceeding except tho use bt
money for McKlnloy, whom ho doeB not
wnnt nomlnntcd.
Tho McKinloyltes arc now ready with
n counter charge. If Chandler Ib going
to show that thoy aro using fat fried
from the manufacturers to nld their
agent for tho presidential nomination,
then they wish to lnqulro whether the
railroad Influence is nt work In various
states whero Mr. Huntington has In
terests. Ono of tho Journals that In
sists on McKlnley's nomination throw's
out tho inquiry: "Talking about cam
paign methods, how would It do to lteep
an oyo on Collts P. Huntington? What
lntorest has ho in tho presidential cam
paign? What Interest had he In tho
organization of tho Pacific railway
committees of tho two houses of con
gress? Why nro theso committees par
tial to Mr. Huntington and his scheme
of reorganization? Why aro leading
senators and representatives, interest
ed In tho antl-McKlnley movement, in
close touch with Mr. Huntington all
tho timo? Is Mr. Huntington trying to
Influenco tho election of delegates in
Texas, Now Mexico, Arizona and Cal
ifornia? Is it truo that Mr. Hunting
ton put up tho money with which Pitt
Kellogg mado his fight against McKln
loy In Louisiana?"
Thero was onco a republican speak
er of tho houso who himself proposed
to advanco legislation and to take his
pay, but, wishing to havo a clean re
publican conscience, ho assorted that
ho would be no dead head In tho enter
prise. Tno probabilities aro that both
Chandler and the McKlnleyltes aro
right. Each accusing the other of
skullduggery and corruption is talking
from knowledge. That which ho is do
ing hlmsolf ho considers n crlmo in
hlB rival. The peoplo havo experienced
enough of tho republican party to
know that it is without tcruples In the
abuse of tho electorate, in the misuse
of election machinery, in tho unstinted,
unblushing employment of corruption
funds. When a vlco presldent-efect of
tho United States roso at a banquet to
mako a drunken jest of tho dissemina
tion of plenty of money in Indiana, in
1880 wo may readily supposo that in
1896 the republican managers aro using
all tho money they can lay their hands
on, from railroads or from manufactur
ers, to debauch their own party In the
Interest of particular presidential can
didates. The Degenerato Senate.
Timo was, and In some measure con
tinues, when tho senate of tho United
States was composed largely of mere
plutocrats. Thoy wero tho champions
of protection. They mnde for many
ycarB a citadel in which tariff robbery
was Intrenched and thoy defended it
year In and year out against popular
assault through tho house of represent
atives. Men who out of their riches
had debauched their fellow citizens at
stato capitals, ordering n toga from
legislators as they might n coat from
a tailor, had at least tho speech and
bearing of gentlemen. Thoy had not
degenerated Into mere blackguards. The
eennto Is still potent to save protected
Industries, Its latest effort being In be
half of tho mining camps whero silver
Is produced. Continuing holding some
thing of tho old UncB and traditions of
tho senate, It is no longer composed
In tho main of men of gentlemanly con
duct. What shall bo thought of a public
body cupposed to be courteous and dig
nified that receives with loud and long
applause and laughter tho travesty
mado by a blackguard from Missouri
upon ono of tho well-known hymns of
tho Christian church?. Does not a body
that thus demeaned Itself sharo In the
diatribes uttered by the speaker? Somo
decent reserve was manifested when
Tillman broke tho rules of decency, but
when tho scurrilous jester Vest per
formed, the audlonco was In sympathy.
Tho Benato of the United States la
tho refugo of broken-down confeder
ate brigadiers, maniacal mouthers and
corruptlonl8ta who have bought their
way through state capitals. In the sen
ate, properly enough, tho privilege of
class finds Us readiest exponents, and
insolence impudently furthering a Job
unblushingly assails the executive offi
cer who has stood dauntless for years
between tho Benato and national dis
credit. Small wonder that Mr, Vilas, having
told tho truo story of tho land legisla
tion which Vest, of Missouri, was seek
ing to further, remarked: "If thero la
to bo any missionary effort I think the
peoplo would bo glad to havo it directed
not far from here in tho senate," Ex.

The Npw York Board of Trade and
Transportation has passed a resolution
in which It nvors that n wlco and enro
ful consideration of our currency and
flnanco tending to placo them upon n
stnblo basis, would, in its Judgment,
bo most conducive to tho prosperity of
the wholo nation. In that vlow tho
board urges upon congress that It give
ittontlon to tho pressing needs of tho
country. Tho board will send to every
member of congress a copy of thla res
olution. But to whnt useful purpose? An
long ago as last December, In pur
suance of his duty as' chief executive
of tho United Stntcs, the president sent
to congress a statement asking Its con
sideration of the question of currency
and flnanco and urging action that
Would bo condttclvo to tho prosperity of
the whole nation, but congress has
done nothing.
What sort of mole-eyed business men
compose tho board of trade that they
fancied for a moment tho republican
politicians and spoils hunters held in
tho hollow of Speaker Reed's hand
would allow any legislation of any
character not in Speaker Reed's opin
ion conducivo not to tho prosperity of
tho country, but to tho furtherance,
first, of Reed's presidential ambition,
and, next, to tho welfare of tho treas
ury rakers wh6 are the leaders of tho
republican party7
Does not tho board of trado of New
York know that this Is deliberately a
do-nothing congress? Where have been
its eyes, its ears, all thesd months Blnco
December?
Do these traders In Now York lm
nglno that they will find among repub
lican politicians, candidates for tho
presidency, a man of the courage and
conviction of Qrover Cleveland?
If they do they aro dull of observa
tion. Tho stable business Interests of
tho country will havo no help from con

American Iron 5n great Britain.
Kansas City Star. Thero Is nothing
surprising In tho information that
comes from London that "England is
threatened with an invasion of Ameri
can pig Iron." That is the logical con
sequence of tho reduction in the tariff
tax on tho raw material which enters
Into the production of pig' Iron. Whllo
It Is not strange that intelligent Brit
ons should not see cause for alarm it is
marvelous that Americans should bo
anxious to restore that condition which
Will glvo England a now lease on tho
Industrial life of tho world. Tho elec
tion of Major McKlnloy to the presi
dency would foreshadow the re-enactment
of tho tariff schedules which held
the United States in the embrace of in
dustrial bondage. Tho defeat of tho
protection champion would mean tho
strengthening of the lines that lead to
tho industrial and commercial suprem
acy of tho United States. Tho peoplo
of the United States can chooso for
themselves under which king they will
serve.
More Itoom Needed for Whoopers.
New York Sun: St. Louis has got to
be enlarged. It is absolutely out of
the question to pack into it one-fiftieth
of the dumber of delegates who aro
bound to go there. Tho St. Louis hotol
keopera seem to be both accommodat
ing and Imaginative, and they will not
give the cold hand to any visitor. Yet
tho briefest knowledge of mathomatlca
and of the unreasonable peculiarity
known 'as the Impenetrability of matter
will serve to show that even If all
tho residents of St. Louis leave town
during tho convention nnd Chauncey

Dortclnc Condemned ly Itoth l'artles.
New Orleans Times-Democrat: It Is
to tho credit of tho political honesty of

of tho Ohio republicans has met with
no favor whatever anywhere, and that
both the single and doublo standard
men equally demand that tho candi
dates and parties shall speak out and
array themselves on ono sldo or tho
other. It Is to bo hoped that tho re

good effect on tho other politicians and
will convince- them that dodging and

All Sorts of Fat Good.
Lowlston Sun: In "frying tho fat,"
no discrimination is practiced as to tho

which to measure our exchanges, that
Bhall be as sound as the government

Columbus Press: Governor Morton

it Is probable that tho Ohio man most

A SAP ROMANCE.
now Sir John lUIIInU Won Raihln'a
Wife Awnj from Hint.
So it Is Sir John Mlllals, upon whom
Lord Lelghton's mantle will fall as
president of tho Royal Acadomy, Bays
O. W. Baxter In the Cincinnati Trib
une. It Is doubtless tho best and most
praiseworthy selection that could have
been made.
But I wonder what poor John Rus
ltln thinks of it?
Ono woman, fair as a poet's dream,
has eo commingled theso mett'B lives
that It is imposslblo to think of ono
without recalling tho other also.
Sho was the wlfo of John Ruskln
when he was still a young man, filled
with hopo and high ambition, nnd al
ready tho chief critic of England, when
ho gave his promising friend, John Mll
lals, a commission to paint her por
trait Mlllals was a handsome fellow, with
a good big vein of materialism and n
wholesome lovo of everyday day In his
composition, whereas, Ruskin was sev
oral degrees removed from an Adonis
and so given over to study nnd dream
ing thnt the woman who boro his naino
suffered for companionship a most
grievous thing, my brother, to permit
any woman to do.
Nathless, Ruskln loved his wife ten
derly and treated her with bo much
consideration and good nature that ho
left her alono with his friend Mlllals
for hours at a time, while Mlllnls paint
ed and chatted and laughed and sighed
and -finally fell to loving her with a
lovo that could havo but ono con
summation. About this timo the woman also made
a discovery. Sho found that her regard
for her husband was only a vast re
spect for his manliness and his schol
arship and that her woman's heart had
gone out with all its strength to tho
handsomo young friend of her husband
who had so long been engaged In paint
ing her likeness.
Then came remorso nnd agony of
bouI for tho guilty love that possessed
them. Conscience smoto lover and
mistress like a two-edged Bword for
they were both honorable peoplo, de
spite their wayward affections and
they decided to awaken the husband
from his dreamB and confess every
thing, abiding, for tho future, by hlB
Judgment.
So one day they went Into tho dream
er's study hand In hand and on their
knees, all contritely, told tho story of
their passion dolorous.
John Ruskin, deserted husband and
outraged friend, heard them through In
patient agony, and then, great-hearted
man that he was, he gave them his
blessing and put pcaco into their
hearts.
Thoy passed out into the world, leav
ing tho husband to hide his pain as
best ho might, and in due time a di
vorce was secured and John MIHais
and tho woman of hla heart were made
man and wife.
At the altar it was Ruskin who gave
hiB former wife into his friend's keep
ing. And then he threw his whole
soul into hla work and to-day ranks
first of all art lovers of all lands, whllo
Mlllals has slnco risen to the foremost
painter of Victoria's realm.
To-day Ruskin is almost a recluse.
The irony of life has smitten him heav
ily. Mlllals Is a petted child of for
tune, who confesses that he makes pic
tures only for the money they bring
him.
Such is tho heart story of two of
Britain's foremost men.
