One saving feature about the apple deal is the tact that there are so many by-pi oduets of this fruit, cays the Chl cigo Packer. It is not only possible to find a sale nearly always for good fruit as It comes from the orchard ready for being consumed, but It has now reached the point where an enor mous quantity of good apples Is re quired ov-ry year tor other purposes. Ir. some sections large quantities of apples are cut up and dried, some from the warmth of the sun and others dried out by specially equipped machinery. The evaporators now do the ',-tvger business In this branch and In many cases the dried or evaporated ; apple has increased very much in : va'ue by slicing and taking most of the vater out of the fruit when it Is stored for future use. j This year the world's markets a?-! pear to be practically bare of evap orated and dried apples from the past season owing to the short supply of apples in 190",. It goes without say ing that there will be ample fruit to take care of the demand for evapor-1 ated and dried apples this season. Reports from every direction show that the lelly makers, the cider and vlnegnr people and many distillers are taking time by the forelock to re plenish their stock. Most of these plants are being run overtime to their full capacity. From the several by-products we can use from the apple It r)as been urged that as many as possible of the cores, skins, pumice, bad apples, etc., be used for silage and the dry skins be ftd to cattle and other stock. It Is believed that if as much as possi ble of th. Inferior fruit be used in this way the markets w ill be generally better for good sound fruit. It will no doubt require an enor- mous amount of apples to supply fully the actual needs of the country with th various by-products from the ap ple. This is not one of the least fac tors to consider in sizing up the prob able average price for apples through put the current season. THE 1XSI RAXCE TRIST. For the thrifty wage-earner life In surance If a necessity, says an ex change. To got It he has no recourse but to patronize the Prudential, the Metropolitan, the John Hancock, or some other of the private companies that now monopolize the business. To them he must pay twice the premium that the same companies charge the well-to-do. He must pay enough to give the equivalent of 220 per cent dividends to the owners of one compa ny. nd 27 per cent to another. He must pay 1100,000 salary to one president, and a $65,000 salary to an other, with $20,000 and $30,000 per quisites to various sons and sons-in-law. Wage-earners must pay, and have paid. In the last 30 years, the money that has Increased by 15,000 per cent the original Investment by the owners of one company. They must carry on their backs an army of 20,000 or 30,000 agents. And, In return, out of eight wage-earners who Insure, only one ever gets any re turn. The only escape from the trust Is through the fraternal Insurance so cieties. THE QUESTION OF CTBA. Whether Cuba is to be annexed to the United States or not will depend wholly upon the Cubans. Xo one doubts that this country lias the power and the courage either to Incorporate the island in its own domain, if that sbail be deemed advisable, or to main tain the republic in its Independent form in case the Cuban people are eiu:U to their national obligations. The rialt amendment recognized and placed upon this country the duty of standing as vouchers to the other powers of the world for the new fledged Cuban nation. In ex"iclsing that obligation in obe dience to an urgent crisis, this gov ernment has given the Cuban peoplt supporters of the established order and insurreetlonarles alike the op portunity to settle the troubles that imperil the lives of aliens and disturb the commerce of other nations. If there is not In Cuba enough love of independence In existence to cause a cessation of civil strife In order to preserve the nation's Integrity there certainly would be no oppression in withdrawing a boon which is not valued. "FASHIONABLE REFORM." Recurrent peril, threatening our American, speech, becomes Imminent about this lime of year, says Collier's Weekly. For there now returns from the other side" the traveler, rather more likely to be feminine, who, swollen with the pride of her first ocean voy age, having stuffed her trunk to burst ing with dutiable articles, gets even with a meddlesome government by smuggling in a warranted Prltish ac cent for herself and family. Upon her avid tongue such useful little words as "were" and "been" uttered a sea change into some thing rich and strange," approximating respectively the verb of garmenture and the popular name of a common vegetable. One even encounters ac cents which distort "clerk" Into "Clark." But the maltreatment Is. happily, in most cases only temporary. First, the family, despite pained and patient correction, fall from grace. Presently the enthusiast herself gives siens of lapsing. She Imperceptibly graduates into the convalescent st:ite of George Ade's rising social light. who every Saturday "took rf bawtli in the hath-tub." And, long before the sewlns-circlo has heard the last of her views on the Eiffel Tower, and the Intricacies of continental currency, the healthful home atmosphere of Pontine,. Michi gan, or Topcka. Kansas, has done its work, and the returned exile's com mon speech Is again according to Xrtah Webster, unabridged. The Eugene Guard says: "That will be a lively contest for governor In New York, but the Guard will bet It can pick the winner. His name be gins with H and It requires six letters to spell It can you guess?" since the name of both Hearst and Hughes begin with H, and each contains six letters, the Guard has sprung a startl Ingly original Joke. A MODERN' TOPIC. A Worm In search of modem culture Removed his hat and asked a Vulture, "Excuse me, sir, I'm. rather green But what's the difference between The process called Financial Dealing And plain, old-fashioned, honest Stealing?" The Vulture merely shook his head. "Please crawl away, I'm tired." he said. "But. sir," the little pest persisted, "I know my views are rather twisted But why. when you're considered great, Should I be merely used for bait? Why should I be the butt of Nature When you control a legislature?" The Vulture ruffled up a wing, "Squirm on," he , said, "you tender thing!" "Oblige me, please," the poor Worm guggled. "With Rebate Cases oft I've strug gled O pray elucidate to me The way the Rebate Cases be" Here came a pause and very neatly The Vulture ate the worm completely, Remakrlng, "Whence this useless dee' bate? I am a Trust and you're a Rebate." Wallace Irwin In Success. WHEAT FOR DRY LAND.

By the recent acquisition of a tract of 170.000 acres Santa Gertrudes ranch. In southwest Texas, already reputed to be the largest estate In the world owned by a private individ ual, wns Increased to the immense pro portions of 2000 square miles, or 1, 2S0.000 acres. As an aid to the comprehension of these dimensions, some comparisons may be found useful. The nrea of Rhode Island, exclusive of the waters of Narragansett bay, comprises 673, 920 acres, or Just a trifle more than one-hnlf the area of Santa Gertrudes ranch. The area of Delaware, exclus Ive of water, Is 1,2B4,000 acres, or 25,600 acres smaller than Santa Ger trudes. Texas constitutes one-eleventh of the area of the United States yet If the Lone Star state were to be cut up into ranches the size of Santa Gertrudes there would only be land enough to make 132. Santa Gertrudes ranch was found eded In 1853 by Captain Richard King, a former Mississippi river pilot, who, with his friend, Captain Mlflln Ken nedy, had charge of the transport sen-ice on the Rio Grande which sup plied General Taylor's army during the Mexican war. Captain King's ambition was to pos sess the largest and best conducted ranch in Texas; but he died 20 years ago. after accumulating 800.000 acres. The property was left to tils widow, Mrs. H. M. King, who turned the en tire management over to her son-in-law. R. J. Kleberg, a law yer, who was born and brought up within 150 miles of the ranch. I'nder Mr. Kleberg's management the acreage has been In creased more than GO per cent.-v-C. F. Carter In Harper's Weekly. Ill Itll S ITS OWN' DEAD. The Cimarron (pronounced slm nierown) river which flows through southern Kansas and Oklahoma, is a peculiarly treacherous stream, as the recent accident ut a Rock Island crossing shows. In 1879. at n point very near the late accident, a man by the name of Brown pulled up to. the south bank of the stream with the intention of crossing to the north bank to make camp for the night. He had two wagons loaded with bones, and six horses. He uncoupled the trail wagon and started across with the other. There was not over a foot of water In the river at that time, and he pulled Into the stream with no fear of the result. But when Jie got about half way over the wagon wheels sank down nearly to the hubs In the quicksand, nnd do what he could he could move no further. He labored until night overtook him, and then went Into enmp. During the night the waters rose about two feet, as he found by the marks In the morning, and the wagon and its load sank In the sands out of sight, nnd he could not even find a trace of the vehicle or Its load. "The Cimarron buries Its own dead" has been a trite saying In that country ever since Its treacherous sands were discovered by teamsters and travelers. The Dalles Optimist.' SAMUEL WAS ALL IX. The minister of a negro church In Richmond gave out a funeral notice one Sunday as follows: "I have to announce to you, bredren and sisters, dat de funeral of de only survlvln' son of de late Thomas Pln kers, both deceased, will take place an' come to concurrence on Tuesday next at 12 m. noon precisely. "An I have to say, bredren and sis ters, dat contributions for carryln' out dat funeral will be In order an' ac ceptations, or else de funeral can't take place, exceptln' and save only as a plain burial; fo' Samuel Plnkers has got Jes' money enough to bury himself without any obsequious cere' monies, such as he deserves."

Is being made the subject of criticism and ridicule. Because our forefathers used five letteis to spell "luugh" they think we should also use five, when three will do the work bet ter. Our forefathers when they took their grain to the mill to have It ground filled one end of the sack with grain and the other with rocks In or der to make It balance over the back of a horse. Their idea was Just as sensible as Is the custom of using a lot of useless letters In spelling. Milton Eagle. IN THE CITY.

WORKING WOMEN Their Hard Struggle Made Easier Interesting State ments by a Young Lady in Boston . and One in Nashville, Tenn. All women work) some in their homes, some in church, and some in the whirl of society. And in stores, mills and shops tens of thousands are on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning their daily bread. All are subject to the same physical laws ; all suffer alike from the same physical disturbance, and the nature of their duties, in many cases, quickly drifts them into the horrors of all kinds of female complaints, tumors, ulceration, falling and displace ments or perhaps Irregularity or suppression, causing backache, ner vousness, irritability and lassitude. They especially require an invigorat ing, sustaining medicine which will strengthen the femule organism and enable them to bear easily the fatigues of the day, to sleep well at night, and to rise refreshed and cheerful. IIow distressing to see a woman struggling to earn a livelihood or per form her household duties when her back and head are aching, she is so tired she can hardly drag about or stand up, and every movement, causes pain, the origin of which is due to some derangement of the female or ganism. Miss F. Orser. of 14 Warrenton Street. Boston, tells women how to avoid such suffering ; she writes : Dear Mrs. Pliikham: " I suffered misery for several years with female irregularities.

Parents who are related by the ties of blood, or who have a consumptive tendency, r family blood taint, are sure to transmit it to their children in the form o; Scrofula. Swollen glands, brittle bones, weak eyes, liip disease, pale, waxy complexions, emaciated bodies, running sores and ulcers, and general weak constitutions are the principal ways in which the disease is manifested. Those who have inherited this blighting trouble may succeed in'holdinjf it in check during young, vigorous life: but after a spell of sickness, or when the system has begun to weaken and lose its natural vitality, the ravages of the disease will become manifest and sometimes run into Consumption.
