It Is Very Important In When apples are scarce It ia very Important to conserve thera to bpst So very many families advantage. are without apples during most of the winter. Often persons remark to me that they had quite a lot of ap: pies at gathering time, but they wouldn't keep. Now why la this? We know it is the business of a sound apple to keep till its cell structure is unbroken down by less interfered with by an outside agent. This ageut may be a bruise, a rotten apple or too great warmth. Apples do not rot through pure cus- sedness. The farmer will drive bis Jolt wagon into the orchard and then pick and pour into It apples of vari ous varieties and every conceivable grade of rottenness and soundiinss. writes Joe A. Burton in Farmers' Re view. When the box la full, all the pickers sit on the apples while they are driven to the place of deposit. The pickers are on the apples with their feet while they scoop up with both hands half a dozen at a time prise. "Didn't I tell you?" he telegraphed across the mailing desk triumphantly. "Tell why, any one with half an eye could see. "She walks a goddess.' " The Harvard Graduate felt that even Virgil was scarce adequate to the occasion as he followed w'tb languishing glances the figure that was just disappearing behind the ground glass door of the Chief's room. Every ear was strained to catch the conversation that followed behind the partition If the Chief were displeased bis displeasure would be quite audible but, oh. how devoutly every man In that office hoped that be might not be! The Chief was not displeased. On the contrary, he seemed quite subdued even conciliatory. "The Old Man's met his match this time," whispered the Junior Office poised Y6t&Tj KnowrMSs. APPLES FOR MARKET "Say," said the Junior Office I5oy, who was a graduate of the Bowery, to the Senior Office Boy, who waa a graduate of Harvard, "the Chief's going; to get a new stenographer." Thia piece of news failed to Interest the Senior, who had watched with Indifference the entrances and exits of a procession of damsels and had, without regret, seen them go their ways after a brief trial by the irascible Chluf not because they were incompetent; quite the re-- ! verse; because they transcribed the Chief's words instead of his thoughts, which were often quite at variance with each other. The Chief's ideas were all right, but he could not express them, and he wanted a reader something which the stenographic employment bureaus had heretofore been unable to supply. "Another?" The Harvard Graduate raised his eyebrows. "Yes, but this one's a crackajack. She's a peach, I tell you. She's your Bort, too; she says 'hawf and pawst.' " The mention of this shibboleth of the other's class, the Junior thought. rould not fall to crll forth his enthusiasm: But he was doomed to disappointment. It was but a languid Interest that was aroused in the Senior at most.
