T'ie causes are many One of them, no doubt. 1? Uie frequency of elec- i ons Another probability is the coi .usion of issues A third undoubtedly i the multlp'lcity o' candidates. There s.iould, w e believe, be fewer elections and shorter ballots. But .lie primal need is that there shall be a higher regard for citizenship and a keener appreciation of ite dutie3 and rc monslbilttles.

The Calendar Trade. A landmark of the Christmas trade is the calendar business. Th e varia tions of the idea keep developing. There are Dickens calendars, Tenny son calendars, Longfellow calendars, joke calendars, foreign language cal endars, general literary quotation cal endars, and no one knows how many other kinds. You may have the vaguest convic tions as to a man's taste in neckties, or a woman's color preference. But almost anyone likes a few calendars around in convenient places. A gor- eous fluffy-haired girl In a low-necked gown may do for the kitchen. Big black-lettered business patterns may satisfy the office. But for some one's living room to fit In with pictures and rugs and china there ought to be both cuts and typography of some taste, and quotations that have some real value to thoughtful people. Many publishers would seem to se lect from last year's calendars the i quotations that seem most available 1 and reproduce them in a new order. It is merely one more shuffle of the same old pack of cards. There are cer tain stock seutiments from R L Stev en.!/ .1, Philip Brooks, Henry VanDyck and other oopular writers, fine but hackneyed, so common that calendar- makers seem to think an edition can't succeed if any of them are omitted. To get up a well-made literary quo tation calendar, some person of good literary taste must always be on the lookout - for inspiring fragments of thought The most available are net always found in the great classics Many of them are picked up in out-of- the wa y poetry corners of newspapers. The fruit of a really good selection makes a delightful gift, one that offers a tonic of faith and hope on many dull and gloomy days. New York Apples. From the Ne w York World. Tnere comes from apple-growere up the State complaint of being at the mercy of the buyers, who eeem to work in concert and who are appar ently able to t i-n the State law regu lating the standard packing of ap ples against tne growers in favor of the buyers Tois is said to result in prices which hardly cover the bare costs of production and in prices of ten less than half what are command ed In the consuming markets. To people raised in the Northeast ern United States tnere is no fruit superior to Uie apple in taste and substance and variety of use. Nor are any apples grown quite equal in delicacy of flavor to those grow n in this section, while for quantity New York State alone produces more than does all the country west of the Miss ouri River Yet New York City com monly gets the poorest of this pro duction and t.ie best goes far afield to Europe or to the South. Wil l it be said tnat Uie city does not know what a good apple is, or must it be said that the distribution of the crop .s manipulated in the interests of the buyers ' We are at the sume time flooded with this f-uit from the Pacific North west. It is wonderful in size and glorious In coloring and magnificent In price. But wCien it comes to tex ture and flavor, otners may sjng its. glories, but no Easterner whose taste has been cultivated in the school ot Home experience will echo the song. Yet we are denied the best of our own superior fruit and have the other forced upon us. Sometnlng is wrong somewhere both lor our growers and consumers What is it? Hav e the New Yor k Slate apple:growerj5 anything to learn from the Florida orange-growers, wh o no longer pick and market their pro RHYMES OFJHE TIMES .' Rehearsing Pa. Whe n Pif and Ma are going out to fashionable people's places, Ala always spends an,hour or two in putting father through his paces. She gets the social mlc book out and reads a chapter on deportment. And thep slio reads a page or two about the silverware assortment Which spoon to use for consomme, and which the proper fork for fish Is She shows him. and describes the way that he must eat the fancy dishes. She tells him where to keep his hands when they are not engaged In feeding. She shows him how to hold a cup in manner that denotes good breeding, JEach stylisli trick, each Btern decree of fashion in the art of eating, Each method-'new in table way s she keeps him constantly repeating; And always, ere they start away, she gives -him positive instructions On how to make, or recognize, In proper form all introductions. Ji&'e very fond of Pa, but still she fears his methods easy-going, She's always scared to death that he Will make a very common showing. And deep within there lurks the fear that he will make a break that's frightful And spoil an evening, otherwise that' would have been delightful. They're going out tomorrow night. Oh, no that rumbling isn't cursing; That noise you hear is only Pa—Ma' s got him now upstairs rehearsing. —Detroit Free Press.

Then squatted for the play; And as the ball was kicked on high, He rushed into the fray. A dash to right, a duck to left. And he had grabbed the sphere; He gav e a shout, then cried \I'll make The great play of the year.\ A dozen yards he ran and then The whole, durned rival pack Pressed dow n upon him—right and left.
