Au American autograph hunter once wrote a letter toerch of the persons whose aute- graph he coveted, describing himself as a ship owner, and asking permission to name his next vessei afcer th- parcicular celebrity he was addressing. It was a fatal trap. N arly every ne fe'lintoit. Even gruff old Carlyle had no suspicion.

In two respects Greece stands at the head of all European nations, viz., the number ot her clergy and the number of suicides. Ac- cording to the latest ecclSiastical statistics there are no | ss than 560 orthodox priests, the number of inhabitants of the whole ki: g dom being 2,000,000, thus making one priest for every 40U. Duriog the summer months of the present year the suicides in Athens alone amounted to five daily. Since the colde: mouths this number has decreased to two per diem.

MERICAN BALDWIN APPLES are ‘ now at their best, and, as everyone knows, this Apple is of the finest flavor, good baked, stewed, made into pies, or for eating when raw.

health it is to eat Apples with your Meals, nor how es the children’s health will be pro- moted by «generous supply of Apples. Everyone knows or ought to know.

Fruit is cheaper than medicine (and tastes nicer.) The next point is to get good App'es. WE HAVE THEM (Choice Maine Raldwins) and we sell by the dozen, peck, bushel or bar- rel, as you may desire.

About price. This depends on bow good they are. We have them for $2.00 per bar- rel,—good for the price. Our best stock of No. 1 Frnit is $3.50, $3.75 and $4.00 per barrel. We claim that our $4.00 Apples beat anything in the city.

This is a!l we have to say. It is for you to do your part. We can only offer the goods, It takes two to make a bargain.
