Mach Uncertainty In the Commercial Prospect For Apples. It can safely be said that the out look for apples throughout the United States is a shade less satisfactory than early In June. Reports from the all Important Empire State continue to tell of Baldwins showing up light; other varieties are more promising. It is significant, however, that orchardlsts In some of the most prominent apple producing counties of New York are talking "moderate to light crop this year." They base their belief partly upon the fact that last season saw a heavy yield. This sentiment is re flected by coopers offering barrels at lower bids than could be obtained last season. Special advices from American Agri culturist correspondents in Niagara county, N. Y., say there Is a fair to heavy setting of all varieties of apples except Baldwins. A Wayne county orchardist writes that the outlook is for half of last year's yield. In Al bany county Hubbardstons will make a fair yield, others showing up light. In Onondaga the drop Is not proving heavy, yet our correspondent says that they are looking for no more than a medium to fair crop. In Erie the June thinning was large as far as apples are concerned, due partly to very wet weather. In Columbia peaches give indications of a full yield; apples fair. Peach prospects In many of the lead ing New York counties are excellent In Maryland. Writing from Maryland a big com mercial orchardist. with interests In various sections, says apples promise a half crop in Washington county, Md., Franklin county. Pa., and Frederick county, Va. In Cumberland county, Ta., app'e prospects are medium to fair. June drop late starting; peaches fine. In some parts of New Jersey plums and cherries are light, peaches showing g'Kxl promise. The Maryland peach crop will be light. Early prospects for apples la Virginia were excellent, but there came a marked deterioration last month. New England and Cilier Points. In New England the promise for peaches is most excellent, the setting In Connecticut being the best for many years. As Is the case in New York, many reports from New Kngland tell of Baldwin apples showing up light. Heavy rains in southwestern Michi gan have cut down the apple promise to some extent, yet many districts of that state report the general fruit out look as favorable. Illinois and Mis souri orchardlsts are not hopeful of securing good returns from apples this year. In the latter state a 23 per cent crop is estimated by reliable authori ties.—American Agriculturist. Xmt PncUoKe For Cucumbers. A neat manner of packing fine cu cumbers In boxes Is shown In tho cut. These particular ones, pictured by FINK CUCI'MBEKS IN BOXES. New England Homestead, are said to have been grown under glass and fer tilized by bees. They were sent to the' New York market and have brought the grower as high as $2 per dozen In midwinter. The Tobacco Acrcnare. In general, It may be stated that there will be an Increase In acreage for all types of cigar tobacco, for bur- Icy and for the regie or dark tobacco grown In Kentucky, Tennessee and a small section of Indiana. In the Vir ginia sun cured and the Virginia dark districts the acreage remains about the same as last year. In the Virginia bright district D*d the old bright belt of North Carolina the acreage will be decreased to some extent. In the new bright belt of North Carolina and South Carolina tho acreage will be In creased, the Increase In South Carolina promising to be quite large.— CYop Re porter. Hog Manure. Hog manure is very variable in com position owing to the variable nature of the food supplied to this animal, but Is generally rich, although containing a high percentage of water. It generates little heat In decomposing.— W. H. Beale. THE GARDEN KEYBOARD The planting of maize and late crop lelery Is now In progress. Cultivation will in part protect from midsummer drought and keep tip growth. Green corn, onions from sets, cucum bers, early potatoes, cauliflower, cab bage and summer squash are among toothsome products that one may now gather from the well managed garden. Trees anil shrubs thoroughly watered / times during the dry weather will repay the trouble In greatly Increased growth and beauty. Supply hanging baskets, plant boxes and vases with plenty of water at all times. If the first spikes of strong gladiolus art- out when fairly In flower they will usually throw up a number of new spikes.

There is an ancient and grewsouae tradition connected with the story of the battle of Solwny. This battle was fought on the "debatable" l> >nlerland between England and Scotland In the year 1541!. A troop of horsemen heav ily mouuted and heavily armored was put to rout. In the panic of their flight they ran headlong into a peat bog. The bog trembled beneath the feet of their chargers and opened and swalluwed them, horses and horsemen, arms and armor. To support this tradition more than L'<>o years later, at the end of the eighteenth century, a digger of peat came upon one of tin? troop a man and his horse, both in complete armor and preserved from total decay by the anti septic qualities of the peat. Another story of that peat bog of the Soiway frith is that In November, 1771, the bog, surcharged with the moisture of heavy rains, rose, swelled and burst like a torrent, sweeping along with It trees and houses and destroying thirty small villages. Many thousands of acres of peat are found in tlii- north German lowland. In Ireland estimates place the lowland bog area at 1,576.000 acres and the highland area at 1,254,000 acres, Uus sia Is said to have (5,700 square miles of peat. Several million acres are In Norway and Sweden, France and Hol land. The United States and Cauada also have extensive tracts. Peat has been used by artisans for ages in the manufacture of tools. By burning peat the old steel workers produced the fin est grades of Iron and steel on account of the intensity of the heat produced and the absence of anything detrimen tal to the metal. The elastic and keen Damascus swords are believed to have been wjide by $e uge of pept. s Feat Itself is the product which re sults from the partial decay of veg etable material mosses and other marsh plants—which grows and dies In boggy pieces where the water stands. It is chiefly composed of sphag num, or bog moss. This moss has pe culiarly absorptive properties owing to the cuplike arrangement of its parts. , which take up and hold water like a sponge. Sphagnum continues to grow after Its roots have become detached from the ground. These two qualities explain why bogs occasionally slide from their old beds. Ha rial Armor and Shrouds. The custom of sewing up a corpse In flannel originated doubtless In the act of parliament, 18 and 10 Charles 11., which was passed for the encourage ment of the woolen trade and required all bodies to be buried in woolen shrouds. Two amending statutes were passed IO7S and 1680 requiring at the funeral an affidavit to be delivered to the priest stating that the require ments of the law had been carried out; otherwise penalties were incurred. These acts were repealed by 54 Georae 111., although long before that time the penalties for noncompliance with the law had ceased to be enforced. During the operation of the acts for burying in woolen the law was sometimes evad ed by covering the corpse with hay or flowers, notification of which is some times met with in the parish registers. Burial in armor was not at all un common in the middle ages and was considered a most honorable form of burial. Sir Walter Scott in "The Lay of the Last Minstrel" thus refers to It: Seemed all on fire that chapel proud. Where RosUn's chiefs uncofllned lie. Each baron for a sable shroud Sheathed in Iris iron panoply. —Westminster Gazette. An Eleplinnf* Strength. Bombera was the name of a big ele phant employed in the construction of a Ceylon dam. Bombera drew from the quarry the stone to be used, unfas tened the chain, rolled the block with her forehead along the narrow em bankment and titted it into its place. If it were not just even she would straighten it until it was right, and all more quickly that a stone mason would have done it and nearly as accurate. Once some visitors were watching the elephant when one of them asked if Bombera could break a large stone with a heavy sledge hammer which lay near by. The rest of the party ex claimed that it was too much to ask, but the mahout said quietly: "Bombera can do anything." He gave a command, and the ele phant swung up the hammer as if it were a feather and knocked the stone into bits. "Now take your pipe and smoke it," continued the mahout. The animal stuck the sledge hammer In her mouth and walked off as if en joying a morning smoke. WHAT SHE PLAYED. Tl»e I.ait Music Thnt Theodore Thom as Heard on Earth. During the last illness of Theodore Thomas, although he was not" at any time unconscious or delirious, he hard ly noticed the members of his family as they came and went at the bedside. JJut one morning he seemed to be bet ter. lie made little Jokes with the doctors and his sons and talked about his White mountain home. 12 o'clock he seemed tired. The editor of his autobiography says that he sank into a dreamy state, and then roused him self to say to his wife in a lingering, ecstatic voice: "I have had a beautiful vision—a beautiful vision!" Then he drifted off into silence. Ills wife thought lie was tired and went downstairs to luncheon, but chief ly with the purpose of leaving him to rest. He had given her a chime of bells, to be used In suinmorTlng the family to meals, and because of his illness they had never been rung in the house. Now, because he seemed so much better, she. played on them a lit tle bugle call that came Into her head. "Do you know what you have play ed?" asked one of the family. "Taps— the call that is sounded over the graves of dead soldiers." She rushod back to the bells and played the call engraved on a metal plate above theiii. Afterward she found that this was reveille, the sol dier's signal to rise. So it had chanced that the last mu sic Theodore Thomas heard on earth had been symbolic of death and the resurrection.—Youth's Companion. THE DAINTY WASP. Apparatus With WIIIOJI He Hla Complicated Toilet. "Wasps arc exceedingly dainty in their habits," says a writer in the Fll grtrn, "and, In order that they may gratify their instinct for neatness to the utmost, nature has provided them With a set of marvelously delicate combs and brushes. If we look closely at the wasp's legs we will find that each bears on Its outermost long joint two small, movable spines, known as the apical spurs, and If we examine these with a magnifying glass each 1s seen to be provided with a row of line teeth, so that the apparatus answers for a coarse and line toothed coftib. "The tidying tip process consists of various perfectly definite steps, usually taking place in a particular sequence. First, it passes both front legs over the face from above downward, and after repeating this movement several times draws them through the Jaws. This Is to remove any foreign substanco which may have collected on them. The legs are then passed backward from the forehead, much as we should smooth back our hair. The wings are then stroked again and again from the base to the tip, although the most careful ob server would fall to detect anything upon tjiem.
