That settles By far tbeyouogeet of the four Preaideuta that the French republic has had during the aixteeu yeers of its existence is bf. Carnot, wheat) election, some days ago, was aatiaraa• tory all around. The f'irat President, M. Thiara, was 74 years of ago when elected in 1871, and in his aeveutyaeventh year when he resigned the office. Gen. MacMahon was over 05 when he became President in 1873, and nearly seventy when his Preaidonoy ended, M. Grevy was fro when elected President in /877, and 74 when be teasgned a fortnight ago. But M. Carnot waa born as late as 1837, and consequently only 50 years old when rained to the office of Pre- sident, M. Carnot is one of the three com, partitively youngmen among the rulers of the powers of urope. Queen Victoria is in the eixty.ninth year of her ago; the Kaiser William is in his ninoty.firat year; Francis doaeph is in his fifty-eighth ; Christian JX. is on the verpo of seventy, and Leopold II, is close to fifty-three. The two younger rulers besides M. Carnot aro Alexander lII., 'who is forty-two, and Hum- bert IV., who is forty-three. Thus Presi- dent Carnot of the French republic is tie youngest of the al lel rulers of Europe, and is also younger by a half year than Pre- sidri.t Cleveland of the Americanrepublic. ^' Y variability of the French political ail. „, ion in the past eight or nine years is thee ,t by the fact that 1llf. Grevy during hie 1ecumboncy as President has had at least one hundred and twenty statesmen in his Cabinets. He had twelve Cabinets with nine chiefs. The shortest Ministry was that of M. Fallieres, which lasted fifteen days, the longest was that of M. Ferry (his. second term) whichatood for twenty-six months. Jt is feared that the same state of things will continue under M. Carnot, if, in- deed, matters don't grow much worse and revolution and confusion do not supervene. It would be a pity if this should be the case The new President comea forth as the spe• cial apostle of peace and of the industrial and commercial advancement of France. The Revenge cry has been dropped and scall is made to all patriotic Frenchmen to do their best in the peaceful consolidation of the Republie. Every right thinking person will wish President Carnot all success in his endeavour to realize such peaceful and patriotic aspirations. The blustering warlike talk among the great powers of Europe still goes on. Ap- parently it is fancied that they may take it out in talk. The disagreeable fact, however, is that such talk has often the effect of mu teal provocation which in time may lead to blows. And then all the pettylambitions and jealousies of individuals help to fan theflame. Bismarck does not get exactly the piece at the Czar's table to which he thinks he is en- titled. There is indignation accordingly and Germany is said to have been insulted. Railways are put down 'leading towards Russia and forthwith the cry is that there is in the proceeding a correct preparation for war. Troops are moved hither or thither and, presto, there is the angry enquiry about what it all means. In the meanwhile what have the great mass of Russians, Germans, or French to do with all thin? How are they insulted ? Why is all this thus ? The whole thing apparently is simply a game between a few men with their fellows for counters and plunder for stakes. It is. enough to make any.. sensible person sick to think of such tom -foolery having such tre- mendous results, the fruit rceen should Always be entirely separate from the rest of the. cellar, if not in a separate building.

We have found that even the alight oweri%g of tiraue paper wrapped arouud each aperimen, kept app es sound longer than wheel they were erpozeil. Bence eke the remit that apple, keep bet- ter headed up in hernia, if not allowed to rennin too long in ibis condition, or until the conflued air beestno heated, or if not stored in a warm cellar. And hence else the reason that when packed in seine pul- verized substance, whleb [shall fill the inter - aims and prevent the accumulation of heat- ed air, a emit better purpose will he answer- ed. Among theaediti'orentsubstances are -- bran, bakes sawdust, ground piaster and lino ohaft If aawduat is used, that made from basswood anesvera well, as it is soft and is free from bad taste. Whatever is used ahoul"i be perfectly dry?, so as not to produce any mould. In uaiug plaster, which is liable to adhere', to the surface of the fruit, itis well to wrap each epeciman, in thin paper before imbed- ding it is the plaster. Either barrels, kegs, or boxesnuay be am• ployed for receiving the fruit, first placing a layer about an inch deep on the bottom, then, a layer of apples withthe atoms up- ward, - ward, and then another layer of the pack- ing substance, filling in all the spaces be- tween, and then alternating layers of each till full.. Caro should bo taken that no bruised ones are used. These bedding sub- stances will prevent freczinrr for a time; and some orchardists are quite aucceesful in. placing the barrels or boxes in an odthouae or barn, resting an the earth, and with about three feet of hay or straw over them. With this double protection, they will not freeze and being kept cool all winter, they come out fresh and sound in the spring. If in a basement or fruit room, they may be kept colder than when placed on shelves or in bulk exposed to the air, and they will keep the longer for this cooler exposure. A little experience will aid as a guide. 11 instead of packing in plaster or line bran, the less perfect material of the fine shavings of joiners, or from bookbinders, are employed for alternating layers with the fruit, they will aid in promoting it from cold currents and midden changes, and re- taining its soundness. Farmers who have stored their fruit in cellars, without any cover . or protection may obtain much valuable information rela- tive to the keepir g of fruit, by performing the following experiments 1. Count and select fifty good, sound apples from the shelf or exposed mass, wrap each in paper and replace them. Count out fifty more, the same in condition, and place them aside exposed. Next spring count the number of decayed ones in each lot, and see how each has fared. 2. Count out and place fifty equal speci- mens each in boxes of suitable size, packed in fine shavings, fine -chopped oat straw, bookbinders' chips, coarse and fine .chaff, bran, sifted coal ashes, and plaster ; put them in a cool but not freezing apartment, and by counting the decayed specimens next spring, compare the results. aide fires in. the West. .,,,, Iftirricoate off coast of Auairalia, 41 pearl fissbiug boats lost with a50 Fermin.— Unlade in Xmas end Miaaoud.
