Through Many Tribulations Slie lln» Emerged Into Nobler Life. After the lapse of a quarter of a cen tury, that gracious growth has reached nn appreciable sizfi nnd beauty; through the fearful ordeal of suffering unknown ' to the casual observer or reader, the | southern woman has emerged into tlie nobler conditions of her present exist ence. The softness and ease of her for mer life, its assured protection and the tender deference that surrounded it, vt ere perhaps a trifle enervating to char acter; the affections flourished at the expense of intellect; the delight of "be ing" was more present than the neces sity of "doing;' the whole nature ran i to vine, secure of always finding a strong suppr.rt upon which to cling and j beautify. i Rut with home and friends and , wealth swept away by one tremendous cataclysm, the lovely, clinging creature 1 nas left either to trail helplessly upon , the ground and perish there, or to de i velop new fiber, new roots, new powers ( of self-support; nnd the heroic trent i went has borne its fruit, the terrible i struggle hns given birth to the child of promise; perhaps it is but a survival cf the fittest; perhaps more have per ished in the ordeal than we care to count; but it is past, and we look about us with pride at some of its obvious re sults. The fittest are indeed "very lit," as the Englishman has it. Some of the most prominent women in literature —novelists, poets, journal ists of every grade—as well as in the arts and on the stage, are southern women; many of the accountants, amanuenses and other assistants in of fices and counting-rooms are south erners. Many of the women who enter into commerce, or who make homes for those happy inmates who find a place beneath their roofs and at their genial boards are southerners. You find them, in fact, wherever you find women at work not too heavy for delicately framed and tenderly bred women. They cannot become scrubbers or daughters of the plow, although I have known some who understood the finer parts of laundry work, such as the get ting up of laces and lawns. Yes, and did it beautifully, too —as well or better than their slaves used to do it for them. Hut these were exceptions to the rule, for in a general way the southern wom an cannot use her hands to any great effect, except in holding a pen or pen cil, or a needle, or using her voice on the operatic or drnmatic stage, and her taste and refinement are among the best items of her stock in trade. It i = the old story of the Arab steed of pure blood but light frame who outstayed the big-boned Norman war horse, the seimiter which cleaves its way where the battle ax fails —the perfumed oil which gently creeps through while vin egar and caustic do not penetrate.— Mrs. I'rank Leslie, in Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly. MIGRATORY CLAMS. Some Seen In Maine Move In a M>«- teriouN Way nnd Leave Knr rovrH Deli I ri«l Them. "It had always been my belief that the clam, like the oyster, was a home stayer, growing contentedly to ma turity in the place where he was born, and never moving from the spot of his own accord," said a New York man, fond of sports with rod and gun, "but this belief was changed during my last Bumineir's vacation in Maine. I spent several days at Sebec lake, usually start ing on my day's fishing excursions from Greeley's Landing, on the south shore. Ilere for a long distance out the water is shallow, with a sandy bottom. All over this bottom extending out ta where it was too deep to be seen were queer little furrows, such as a man might make in sand with the tip of a walking stick. I knew that they could not hate been by eels, which would have left sinuous tracks, while these were straight, and I was puzzled to explain them. At last I asked my boatman, a country boy, bred on the shores of the lake, what caused these furrows. " 'Clams,' he answered, briefly, with a slight tone of wonder in his voice at my ignorance. "'Clams!' I repeated. 'You don't mean to tell me that clams travel about without legs or fins?' " 'They do, all the same, and I'Jl show you,' he said, and backed water with his oars, stopping his boat. 'There's one now right under you.' "I looked down into the water, and there, at the very end of a furrow, was a clam noting upright on one end, head down, as I discovered by dipping him up with my fully we discovered other clams. If they were moving, it was too slowly for me to detect their progress, but in every case the clam was at the end of a fur row, which he plainly had made, stand ing on end, head down. "'They alius travel 011 their heads.' | the boy mi id. 'They can work along | tol'able fast when they've a mind to. ! I've known one to go the length of this boat in a day.' " 'What's their idea in all this bal ancing about 011 their heads?'l asked. 'Where are they going, anyway?' " 'Dunno.

Is the only cough, cold and croup I remedy that does not contain opium and will not nauseate; 50 cents ; APPLE PACKING BY EXPERTS. ; Tin- \\n> 111 U li Ifli II I* Doie 111 Cal ifornia for the i:«>ti rn nnil European Miirkcl*. Thirty years ago ranchers from 100 miles to the south journeyed to Wat sonville to lay iu, at fabulous prices, their scanty winter sdfiplies >-f eastern dried apple's. To-day, to quote a local paper, "fruit buyers are thicker than commercial tourists." The fruit they have come to buy is apples— apple* mainly of two varieties, the belletleur (Americanized ns bell flower) and the yellow Newtown pippin. The bellflow cr, juicy, luscious, is the standard fall apple; the Newtown, crisp and aro matic, is the winter apple of the civ ilized world. In most localities these peculiar ap ples cannot be profitably- grown. They are shy bearers or unthrifty growers. Hut in southern Santa Cruz and north ern Monterey, where purls the pictured Pajaro, nature has provided soil and conditions exactly suited to the special needs. The sandy sediments, where water is found a few feet from the sur face. is the home of the bellflower; the heavier lands prove best for the New town. In Snnta Cruz county alone are 400,000 apple trees, of which 250.000 ar.» row bearing; while Nlcnterey county ; s credited with 10.000 acres in orchard. This season's crop is estimated at 1.500 carloads, which will find consumers not onlv in nearly" every state of the union, but also in Europe. Asia and Aus tralasia. All the civilized world appre ciates a good apple. The picking, packing and shipping of this immense output have grown into a special industry of large proportions. Strange to say, it has fallen entirely into the hands of foreigners. The name of the owner of almost every packing house ends in "ieh." Lettunich, Puliso vieh. Opusich. Miovich, Strazovieh, Scu rich, Stollieh. Viuvich, Balovieh, Mari novich, etc., all evidently belonging to families of Slav origin, nnd these are all surnames of Watsonville apple pack ers. Watsonville claims the biggest thing 011 earth in the shape of an apple-pack ing house. It covers an area of 21.000 superficial feet. One end of the huge shed abuts on the Southern Pacific track, while the other furnishes facili ties for the rapid unloading of the capacious spring wagons specially built for this trade, with long flat beds and strong springs, to carry- 100 boxes or more filled with fruit loosely packed in the orchard. The "plant" required in the business cf apple packing is primitive red inex pensive. The shed is simply a floorless shell, spacious and lofty. In this tracks are ranged longitudinally to receive small, four-wheeled flat cars, which make easy the-work of unloading wagons and loading cars. The rest of the ground space is traversed by piece. s of scantling, on which nre ranged the boxes of apples, ten tiers high. Bencher, for boxmakers and tables fitted with iron clamps, operated by foot pressure, for gently pressing down the bottoms of the full-packed boxes ready for the nailer, constitute the equipment inside the shed. Outside arc two huge V shaped hoppers, built of lnmlier. Into which the refuse apples arc thrown, to yield up their juice for cider vinegar A store of this vinegar, sharpening in the sun's rays, fills many barrels, whose bungholes are stopped with wine bot tles inverted. The process of packing calls for con siderable digital dexterity. In packing for the California market one of the first things needful is to put a good face on things. So the boxmaker nails on the toj) of the l.ox first, and this tem porarily becomes the l>oftom. On this, with their brightest colored cheek downward, are ranged the showiest fruit of the grade that is being handled. These must l>c selected and fitted with not a little nicety so as. when gently pressed, to exactly fill the area of tli* bo*, but they must not be roughly squeezed, for a few bruised apples s]>oil the appearance and sale of the IK>X; and the bellflower is especially tender. To facilitate this arranging of the fruit, the packer tilts the box to a considcr nlJe angle, so that each apple remains where it is placed, instead of rolling about, as on a level surface. When thi 1 first layer is satisfactorily adjusted sub sequent tiers of the same sizeare added until the box is slightly overfilled. It is then passed to the nailing table, the bottom pieces laid on, the clamps ap plied so carefully as neither to bruise by overpressure nor to leave the fruit so loose as to rattle if the IKIX !>e jarred, and the nails are driven home. In pack ing for export the method is quite dif ferent each apple being wrapped in separate paper. Another important point is the grading nccordinc- to siz*. The trade recognizes at least three grades, three tier, four tier and fUv tier. This sizing must be rigidly ad , he red to. ati(l no boxes | ack"d with mixed size? As a rule, the largest size . brings the highest price, although this j is not invariably so. the market for I three-tier fruit being limit* d.—Sar. J Francisco Chronicle. HrcUcn Moments.
