plant an apple orchr.fd because the
trees matured so slowly he might :i »t
reap the beneilts ef Ids toll. Ttia
fanner's father refused for the same
reason; but the ohl trrandfutlnr plant-

year of $4.452.066 20. The abnormal
demands In the foreign field In the
last soveral years, however, . have
largely subsided, and In consequence

this amount $394,303 91 Is set aside for
engagements which will close the
work for the refugees In Greece, for

| Thetis, all the gods and goddesses,
except Erie, or Discord, were pres-
ent. Angry at not being invited,
she threw among them a golden ap-
p'e, hearing the inscription, “To the
most beautiful.” Juno, Minerva
and Venus each claimed tho prize,
and Zeus referred them for a deci-
sion to Paris, a shepherd on Mount
Ida. Venus, having promised Paris
the most beautiful woman in the
world for his wife, was awarded the
apple. By so doing. Pari* incurred
