Inirtioulars and Advice' As to Method e of Packing, and Shipping—The Way in Which Fruit is Inspected at English rorts. A gentleman who is interested in the ex- port apple trade has written the following interesting Article for the Woodstock Sentinel-Reyiew : Our vessel, amongst, other cal -go, I Was told, had on board 75,000 bushels of grain and 40 carloads of apples. The applee are unloaded and piled up in the largeeheds the wharves and the brokers to whom they are consigned to send down their men, who grade them into about six different grades, or, to be more particular, every brand of apples is put by itself first, the gradiag commences. First; 'tights, are those bar- rels in which the apples will not shake; they are tight as when they are packed; secOnd, sleek, are those in which the apples are- loose and when the barrel is moved you hear them rattle together, showing a de- tect them in the packing or some have partially decayed and shrunk; third,slight- ly wet, are those in which some of the apples have wasted and the juice has com- mencee to leak and these inspectors are sharp and readily detect the least juice coming through the barrel; fourth, wet, are those in which the juice has commenced to run right out; fifth, slack and wet,and last- ly, open and wasted, which are scarcely worth anything. From each quality or grade of each brand, the barrels are selected and are sent up to the sale rooms in Victoria etreet, and when yeur humble seirvent was introduced by a very obliging broker, the sale of apples was in full swing. The hall has the seats arranged in semi -circular form, -raised about the same slope as the seats at the grand stands at the fall shows. The seats were fully occupied and I would think contained somewhere about WO people, who, I was told, were mostly all buyers. The auc- tioneer's rostrum was on a sort of raised platform with desks all across the one end of the hall for the use of clerks and repor- ters and for privileged visitors like myself. In a little pit immediately under the auc- tioneer's hammer was fitted up a hoist with two compartments. This hoist or elevator communicated with the cellar below, from Whence the samples were brought up. Cata- logues of the samples and quantities and condition, etc., all particularly marked and numbered, were placed before each of the buyers do that they knew all about the condition of the goods, and when the samples popped up on the elevator, one barrel had already been emptied into a large basket,and the head was taken off the other barrel, aid if the bidding lagged any the auctioneer would at once order the remain- ing barrel also to be dumped into a basket. Apple packers, who have been in the habit of putting all the good apples in the head of the barrel, might take a note of this and remember that , the sample barrels are emptied out before the eyes of about 200 people, and if a barrel shows any appear- ance of having been opened and tampered with, it is at once rejected as a sample. While I was there the bidding was spirited and keen, and a great many were disposed of in a very short time. Everything was done very expeditiously. While one lob was being sold two samples of another lot were coming up on the other elevator. I think they were generally sold in about forty barrel lots. I think the brokers only get en hour at a time. When the time is up he puts his hammer in his pocket and steps off, when hisplace is immediately taken by another man. The highest price realized was a little over 20e. per bushel, but some of them did not bring over half that amount, and the brokers wished me to strongly impress on my countrymen engaged in the apple bnsiness the • great necessity ot more care being exercised in selecting and grading the fruit, because a few poor apples often spoil the sale of 'what would ,otherwise command higher prices. Apples should be of an even quality, packed so tight that they could not get loose and when put on board the steamer should be far removed from the engine or any heat. At the wharves there are immense quan- tities of cheese, lard, bacon wheat, and actually American and Canadian baled hay. I was told that it had come over in im- mense quantities lately and was selling at from £4 to £4 lOs per ton for the best. I saw some timothy that:was not very good; it had been ratherripe when cut and con- tained a portion of Sune grass. There was some very good clover hay Which seemed to take better than timothy.. The dealers wished me to enforce upon my countrymen the desirability of sending hay and every- thing else Of a uniform quality. Some of the .bales were put up with wood hoops similar to barrel hoops. I saw it being loaded on the railway cars, and was told that it was being shipped all over the North of. England.

At last France has shown the world that below a satin exterior she bus a true heart, for Millet, being dead, is now apprecieted. But there was a second tie:;ret of his great success. A pretty rtory illustrates After years of dipreseing toil and ecoo- orny the painter hau finally saved. four hun- dred dollars, and he went on a vacation back to the home of his parents. All were dead. A new generation had sprung up. 'This was twenty years before his death, when purchasers were scarce, and lame was runnivg.to and fro outside his door. There in his old home he made sketches of the dear scenes of his boyhoed. But he was a stranger in a familiar land. One evening, as he was returning from his work, the "Angelus" was ringing, and he found him- self at the door of the little church.' He entered. At the altar an old priest ,was praying. When he ceagsed, Millet touehed him on the arm gently, and maid : "reale- cois.'' The Abbe was his first teacher. " Ah, is it you, dear little child, little Francois ?" exolsimed the priest, and they embraced each other weeping. "You used to love Virgil, Francois ?" said the Abbe. " I: love him still." "And:the Bible, Francois, have you for- gotten it? And the Psalms, do you ever read them ?" "They are my breviary," said the • great painter. "1 get from them all that I do." "These are rare words to hear nowadays; but you ,will be rewarded. I am content. Where rowed, good grain has grown, and you will reap the harvest, my son." So said the 'Mahe to hie popil solemnly. At nightfall they tepal ated. Millet drew a large part of his inspiration from the Bible. On tbe walls of hie rude studio he had painted Ruth and Boaz in the field. He was one of the many artists whom Biblical study has helped to make immortal. We search here and there for books to arouse us to intellectual effort and to noble living, but too often we overlook the Bible. But the genius of many of our great artists, statesmen and poets has been wiser than we. Predle.tions for March. March comes in like a lamb ahd goes out like a lion. March winds and April showers, Bring forth May flowers. "March flowers make no summer bowers," because if the spring is very mild, vegeta- tion becomes too far advanced, and is liable to injury from frost. In March much snow, To plants and trees much woe St. Patrick's day the warm side of a stone turns up, and the broad -back goose begins to lay. Winds in March and rains in April promise great blessing in May. As much dew as shown ih March so muchfogrises in August. In beginnin.g or in end, March its gifts will send. As it rains in March so it rains in June. Is't on St. Joseph's day (19th) clear, So follows a fertile year; Isa on Mary's (25th) bright and clear, Feeble is said to be the year. A damp, rotten March gives pain to far mers.A dry March, wet,April, and cool May, Fill barn and cellar and bring much hay. Rain in March, poor harvest. Dust in March brings grass and foliage. If it does not freeze on the 101h, a fertile year may be expected. " Snow in March is bad for fruit and grape- vine., March will search, April try; May will tell you whether to live or die. March wet and windy Makes the barn full and Andy. March damp and warm Will do the farmer much harm. March dust and March wind bleaeh like a summer sun. A peck of March dust and showers in Kay Make onrn green and fields gray. When March is like April, April is like March. A duty March and a dry may presage a good year. A bushel of March dust is worth a king's ransom. A windy March and a rainy April makes a beautiful May. A dry March never brings its bread. " So many frosts in March, so many is May. They Produce the Largest Known Waves Which Always Carry Destruction. St. Nicholas: While we usually think of earthquakes as taking place on land, ,they do, indeed, occur with equal devastation in the ocean. That pint in the earth at which the explosion or breaking takes place is called the earthquake focus; and from it what are known as earthquake waves pass to the surface. What do these earthquake waves re- semble? Take a basin full of water and dip a glass tube in it. Blow through the tube and you will see bubbles rising to the surface and circular waves passing out.. The `disturbaoce at the bottom of the basin corresponds with the ex- plosion or snapping of the crust at the earthquake forcus, with this difference, that instead of water waves the latter produces earth *ayes, passing through the ground. When the city of Lisbon, Portugal, was destroyed the earth- quake took place in tlie bottom of the sea, fifty miles weet of the city. Yet it so agi- tated the water that a wave sixty feet high dashed over Lisbon, destroyihg it and its inhabitants in the space of sixty minutes. Another earthquake occurring just off the coast of Peru made such a gigantic wave that a large, veisel was thrown several miles island. • These are called earthquake -waves. They are the largest known waves and are causad. by the heaving and rocking of the bed of the am In deep water such waves are not very high, but their motion extends far down into the ocean. When they reach shallower water, however, they heap up like a gigantic wall, and; with a force more terrible than fire or sward, they sweep on, bearing destrnetion with them. Huge ships are tossed like.straws far, inland, or Mingle their ruin with that of a harbor town.
