Trenton. is one that has caused a. glut deal of talk among those who are scqhainted with her. Mrs. Young is now in her seventy-eighth year, and is quite vig- orous tor a woman 0! that age. Three years ago she took a chill. which _a.ppeared to effect her whole system. Her lower limbs and body swelled to such an extent that she could scarcely move them. Her stomach became so disordered that she could not take solid food, and her heart. fluttered so violently that she could not lie in bed. and for two years had to be bolstered up night and day. The chills which were ap- parently the original cause of the trouble, beCame chronic. and efiectcd €her two or three times a week and after a chill her skin would turn a dark brown color. Her triends did not belie'xe she could recover. but nevertheless did all they could for her. Three doctors tried their skill, but to no purpose, and the strong- est consolation they could ofler was “Well- vou know we are all growing her. Three doctors tried their sun, but to no purpose, and the strong- est consolation they could ofler was “Well, you know we are all growing old.” Several advertised medicinea were then given her, but with no better results. In August, 1901 Mrs. Young had become so bad that her daughter - inâ€"law had to come from a distance to nurse her. She brought with her some Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and persuaded the old lady to begin their use.

It"is, however, scarcely likely prices will go as high this year, propor- tionately, as they did then, because the storage facflities of to-day are greater than they were at that time. and more apples are being handled in this way than were so handled six years ago. Prices are Stronger la the Old Country (Weekly Sun) The apple market in the Old Coun- try show- considerable improvement this week. This is, in view of the ex- traordinarily large shipments which have gone forward this season, and the poor quality of a. very consider- able partion of these shipments, somewhat surprising. In speaking of the cables which have been re- ceived. however, Harry Dawson of the Dawson Commission 00., says that the quotations given in these cables show merely the top of the market. They do not show the very low prices for some of the fruit which has gone forward. In support of what he said Mr. Dawson showed the Sun a statement of sales, receiv- ed by mail, in whic the prices var- ied all the Way from over twenty to {our diillings per barrel. In Toronto there is not, as yet, much change in the market. This is due to the exceedingly large (mam. tity (i fall apples which are on hand, and the amount 0 l‘ which is being steadily added to by receipts from dav to day. But, as more than once stated in the Sun, the prospects are for \ery much better prices in the near future. An illustration bearing on this point is furnished by an experience of R. L. Huggard of Whitby in ’96, the year in which we had our record crop. In that year Mr. Hug-gard was offered about a. dollar a. barrel for his apples in the fall ; he refused the ofier, put some fruit 'in cold storage and a few months later sold some of his stock MRS.
