A lover of apples in southern Minne
sota writes that he has gathered a lot
of splendid Jonathans this season from
grafts placed on a Virginia crab and an
equally nice lot of Grimes’ Golden
from a Hibernal thus top grafted. Both
these varieties of apples were raised
*200 miles north of where they can safe
ly be grown on their own roots, and It
suggests top grafting as a very sensible
and practical way of extending the ter
ritory where these fine apples may be
grown.

The Qeatle Reader,
What has become of the gentle read
er? asks Samuel M. Crothers In The
Atlantic. One does not like to think
that he has passed away with the
stagecoach and the weekly news letter
and that henceforth we are to be con
fronted only with the stony glare of the
Intelligent reading public. Once upon
a time—that is to say, a generation or
two ago—he was very highly esteemed.
To him books were dedicated with long
rambling prefaces and with episodes
which were their own excuse for being.
In the very middle of the story the
writer would stop with a word of apol
ogy or explanation addressed to the
gentle reader or at the very least with
a nod or a wink no matter if the fate
of the hero be in suspense or the plot
be inextricably involved.
“Hang the plot!’’ says the author. “I
must have a chat with the gentle read
er and And out what he thinks about
it”
And so confidences were Interchang
ed, and there was gossip about the uni
verse and suggestions in regard to the
queerness of human nature until at
last the author would jump up with:
“Enough of this, gentle reader; perhaps
it’s time to go back to the story.”
Min Klngiley and the Gorillas.
On the Gabun river Miss Mary
Kingsley’s guide one day called to her
to creep quietly through the bushes
and then she saw a family of five go
rillas—an old male, three females and
a young one. The guide sneezed, which
alarmed the gorillas, and they fled
with a bark and a howl, the old male
swinging from bough to bough like an
acrobat on, a trapeze.
On another day Miss Kingsley and
her two guides came suddenly upon a
solitary male gorilla, who, as usual,
had appropriated a forest glade as a
park for his private enjoyment Fu
rious at the intrusion, the brute, in
stead of fleeing, came shambling to
ward them, growling fiercely. “Shoot
him,” whispered Miss Kingsley. “I
dare not,” said the guide, “until he
comes quite close. I have only one
gun. The other Is out of order. If I
miss, he will kill us.”
The gorilla came nearer. Hearing
himself on his hind legs he beat his
breast and roared, just as Du Chaillu
described long ago. Then, running for
ward, be stopped and roared again and
again ran forward until quite close.
Then the guide fired and the gorilla
dropped dead.-Chambers’ Journal.
Interested.
Mrs. Newrich—1 never can remember
how many cards to leave when calling.
Old Gentleman—The rules are very
simple, madam. You baud one to the
servant and then on departing leave as
many on the plate as there are adult
members of the family, adding two of
your husband’s cards and occasionally
dumping in a few more for good meas
ure. Do not be niggardly in dealing
out cards, as that suggests vulgar pov
erty.
“1 am very much obliged. Are you a
professor of etiquette?”
“No, madam. 1 am Mr. Bristol, the
card manufacturer.”—Exchange.
Explained.
“This,” said the drug clerk, “Is a
most wonderful hair renewer. It’s our
own preparation.
“Well, give me a bottle,” said the
baldheaded man. “But, say, come to
think of It, why don’t you use it?
You’re pretty bald yourself.”
“I can’t use It. You see. I’m the 'be
fore using’ clerk. The ‘after using*
clerk is out at lunch. You should see
him.”—Philadelphia Press.

America’s
Best.
It is by a long process of careful
selection and elimination that the
best is eventually decided upon—
and it is by just such means that
we now handle the half-dozen best
Pianos that this country produces.
There is no maker in America who
has not asked us to handle bis
Pianos or who would not make
every concession to have us do so.
The names CHICKERING,
GABLER, HARDMAN, LES
TER, STERLING, etc., represent
the highest and best, in the Piano
industry. These different manu
facturers produce, in their differ
ent grades, thoroughly reliable in
struments. Prices vary, of course,
but all are good, mnsical Pianos.
We have these makes because,
after the most careful considera
tion and examination, we have
concluded that they are in every
way the BEST.
Our written guarantee and the
maker’s as well: but better than
both, we give vou the heat guaran
tee of all—EXCHANGE IF NOT
SATISFACTORY. If a Piano
purchased here isn’t quite to your
liking, don’t keep it. Come and
make a new selection.
