DESIRE I'OR DISTINCTION.
In "Doc Gordon," by Mary E. Wll-kins-Frccmau,
is a quaint Illustration
a of a peculiar phase of human nature.
tIt develops with the visits of the two
doctors (o their poorer patients:

Dr. Cordon about the New Jersey
country. The country people were

patients themselves. In only one ease.

case of measles, was much Interest
evinced. The majority of the patients
were the very old and middle aged.
and they discussed and heard discussed
their symptoms with much the siiiuc
attitude as ihey might have discussed
the mechanism of a wooden doll. It
any emotion was shown. It was thai
of a singular Inverted pride. "I had a
terrible night, doctor," said one old
woman, and a smirk of self conceit
was over her ancient face. "Yes. moth
er did have au awful night." said hei
married daughter, with a triumphant
expression. Uvea the children cluster
ing about the doctor looked uncou
eclously proud because their old grand
mother had had au awful night. The
call of the two doctors at the house
was positively hilarious. Quantities of
old snnte iack were forced unon them
?The old woman In the adjoining bed
room, although she was evidently suf
fcrfug. kept calling out a feeble Joke in
her cackling old voice.
"Thosa people seem positively elated
because that old soul Is sick," said
James when be and the doctor were
again In the buggy.
"They are." said Dr. Gordon; "even
thc old woman herself, who knows well
enough that she has not long to live.
'EgDid you ever think that the desire of
distinction was one of the most, per
haps the most. Intense purely spiritual
emotion of the human soul? Look at

though the women want to marry, all

let all the dear ' readers, feminine

lows, for surely the fairer sex is, after
all, the stronger sex. Women know no
such nbject obedience to superstitious
fears and signs as do the men. With
a view to eliciting something of Inter
est, the writer hud n chance to put a
certain question to a captain of Indus

ly, "you'd be getting mo Into trouble,
would you?" With a promise that no
names would bo mentioned, be dually
agreed to toll a thing or two.
The question was, "Aren't men In
Wall street carrying all sorts of queer
things to try to change their luck?"
In answer to this the writer heard
some curious stories. One man of
worldwide fame, for example, carries
a cane In the center of which there is
a slender steel rod. Circling the rod
there are rings made of leather and of
hard rubber, like the washers that
plumbers use. Each seventh ring Is
made of leather from the soles of the
shoes worn by the billionaire during

Then there is another great financier
who carries with him a gold ink well
and would never sign a document with
fluid from another receptacle. Once
upon a time, when he had, say, only a
picayune million or two, he signed a
paper In a deal that doubled, then trc
bled, his wealth. The ink used that
day was emptied Into a long gold tube
or well that he now carries. The ink
was used up, but to the well, so he
thinks, the good luck power has been
translated. Lucky coins pass from fa
ther to son In several of the multhull
Ilonalre families, and the man who In
herits them would never bo without
them. We have few secret drawers In

A Lost Apology.
"What a beautiful woman Mrs. Ray
mond is!" lie exclaimed as he entered
the sitting room. "I have Just had
such a pleasant talk with her In the
bookstore."
Ills wife looked up from her sewing.
"John," she exclaimed, "where Is
your collar?"
lie put bis hand to his throat. "I
must have left It at the barber shop.
Yes, that's It. I went to the barber
shop, then to the bookstore. Why,"
he ended lamely, "Mrs. Raymond
would think It very careless of me to
appear in public without my collar,
wouldn't she?"
"Rather," said his wife. "Perhaps
you'd better call her up and tell her
Just how it happened."
lie went to the telephone.
"Hollo, central; hello! Hello! Is this
Mrs. Raymond? YpS? Well, really. It
was very stupid of me, Mrs. Raymond;
but, you know, I had been thinking of
something very important, aud I quite
forgot to put on my collar. I oh ah
goodby!"
Ho suddenly hung up the receiver
and gave utterance to a mild exclama
tion. "John!" exclaimed his wife.

house today," ho groaned. Harper's

A man found that his wife had

displeased him. So ono day he hid In

"Mary," ho said reproachfully, "why
do you put tho hair of another woman

at her husband's shoes, "why do you

APPLE CULTURE.
Keeping Quality of Fruit Grown
In
Ssd or Under Tillage.
Hero is a question, often asked at
fruit growers' meetings, as answereu
In part by II. V. C. In Rural New
Yorker: "Is It true that tipples grown
In sod have better keeping quality than
those grown under tillage?"
No one seems to say yes or no with
out qualification. My own experienc
Indicates that the cultivated apples ar-
larger, lighter In color and less firm
than those grown in sod. My sod fru':
will certainly average smaller and con
slderably higher in color. Our on!,
keeping test is that of putting all to
gether in an ordinary cellar, as we so'
most of our fruit early. I'rom thl
test I feel sure that the sod apples ari
better keepers. In commercial apple
culture this does not make so much
difference, ns most apples are put a!
once Into cold storage aud kept then'
until sold.
Scientific Experiments.
A largo number of scientific exporl
ments have been conducted with vary
lng results. There Is u certain deflnlti
time beyond which apples should noi
be In storage. After this period th
sod fruit keeps best. The sod fruit
matures earlier than the cultivated
and if picked at the same time is a
little higher colored. This high colore 1
matured fruit of course keeps botto'
than Immature fruit, especially wit'i
the earlier varieties, like Wealthy
Alexander and Famense. There vari
ctles undoubtedly -keep better when
grown on sod land than fruit from
tilled land picked at the same time.
Where the latter was allowed to grow
longer there is not much difference.
In commercial orcharding I think more
depends on other thlinrs. such as pick
ing aud handling. No matter how the
apple is grown, bruising and rough
handling will hurt the fruit.
OLD PEACH TREES.
Conditions Under Which the Complete
Renowal Becomes Advisable.
The peach tree Is a rapid grower un
der ordinarily favorable conditions. It
bears fruit enly on wood of the previ
ous season's growth. Rut eVen with
careful annual pruning the peach tree
will eventually get out of proportion
and out of reasonable bounds. It Is at
this tlmo that a complete renewal be
comes ndvlsable. This can be accom
plished without the loss of n crop, pro
viding tho work be done early In the
spring of a season In which tho fruit
buds have been destroyed by the rig-

ors of wiuter, as is often the case In
all sections of Ohio other than those
bordering on Lake Erie. Where annual
crops are tho rule the fortunate or
chardist may cut back a few of the
branches of each tree each season,
thereby keeping an adequate supply of
new fruiting wood coming on, low
down where pruning and spraying may
be easily done and where tho crop may
be safely supported by the superior
strength of tho short, sturdy, well knit
branches. Thus gradually the trees
will become renewed, there will be no
material loss In fruit production and
the fruit will bo of largor size becauso
of the decreased number of specimens
to be developed. V. II. Ballou.
Fruit Wrapping Machine,
A fruit wrapping machine has been
put In opeiatlou in- California. It re
quires practically no attention and en
tirely automatically wraps the fruit,
says Country Gentleman. Tho fruit
rolls down n slight incline to the op
erator, turning slowly over ns It ap
proaches him and giving him an oppor
tunity to remove defective specimens.
Tho fruit Is lifted and placed stem up
hi rubber cups, which carry It to a
mechanism operating much ns the hu
man hands. It Is carried to the paper
being cut and printed from the roll.
The twist of the paper Is made over
the stem end, thus cushioning the
stem and preventing puncture Injury.
