"LooK WHERE YOU ARE aorNG.--This
was a remark we heard yesterday, as we
passed along Chartres street, addressed by
a mother to beautiful child, about five
years of age. The little fellow had his
hands full of toys and his head full of Won
der. He was looking at all the ghttering
and attentive articles IN the numerous show
windows, and with his eyes devouring their
beauties. He didn't see the streets nor the
persons passing-not he-hls soul was filled
with something else besides the mere idea
of how or where he was walking. Without
his mother, he would certainly have been
run over by the whirling drays or trodden
downin the careless crowd--as it vas, he
ran some risk, as his mothers "look where
you a,e going" seemed to Indicate.
We were much interested not only in the
child but the mother, who was noble look
ing creature, with large black eyes, a high

FOLLY WILL PuNIsHRD.--ln the ages Of
chivalry no one could hope to please the.
ladies but in proportion to his courage
and address in military exeroise;, they
sought admirers among the brave; and
the proofs they required Of the love, and
force of his attachment, were combats, vic-
tories and trophies. In many instances
friends were compelled, by the barbarous
commands Of their mattresses, to engage in
mortal combat, and the life Of some noble
but infatuated soldier, was often sacrificed
10 the pride and cruelty of wanton woman.
As Francis ], was one day amusing his
court with combat of lions, a lady drop
ped her glove in the arena, and said to the
Chevalier de Lorges, 'if you wish me to,
believe you love as much as you every day
profess to do, go bring my gloye.o De
Lorges Immediately went down among
those terrible animals, took up the glove,
returned and threw it in her face--and in
spite Of all her arts and advances, refused
ever to speak to her again. His courage
was great, but his good sense was greater.

No ONE TASTES so GOOD FRUITS AS HE
WHO RAISES THEM.-Ths is particularly
true us regards the small fruits of summer.
The black mulberry, it is stated in the En-
cyclopedia Americana, is "perfection only a
few moments, and that at the time when it
can be detached from the tree by slight
shaking of the branches" "All the fruits, +"
suys Dr. Alcott, "but more particularly the
berries, are more or less subject to the
same law The perfection of the straw
berry and raspberry lasts but an hour or
two; and even the pea, bean and Indian
corn, lose much OF their freshness and fla
vor by being plucked the day before they
are used. Those who mise fruits, there
fore, may pluck and eat them when they
are most grateful to the palate, and most
conducive to health.
Those who buy them on the contrary,
must buy those that are prGmaturely gath
cred, or which have passed their best state,
and are IN the inclpient process of decay.
In general both of these objections lie a
gainst summer fruits which are sold in the
market-they are gathered before they are
ripe, and they are in the progress of decay.
How important IS it therefore, that the low
ers of good fruit should take care to have it
in perfection, by selecting and cuItivating
the choice varieties, when it can be done
at triding expense.
"The juices of all green fruits" says
DR.. Acott, care very different from those
of ripe ones. Their acids are less whole
some than after they are changed by the
action of the sun in ripening; nor does the
addition of saccharinc substances in pre-
pairing them, at all change their real ma
ture. They are still these; they are only
concealed. The oxalic acid is still oxalic
acid, cook green fruits as you will. No
culinary process, lrepeat it, can be substi-
tuted for, or produce the effect of solar &C
ton. The Creator in many instances, by
means of the sun, performs the most perfect
culinary processes; and nature is often the
best kitchen and cook"
The use of ripe fruits is admirably adapt
ed to allay the feverlsh irrltations of the
stomach and bowels at the seasons when
they severally come to maturity; but un,
ripe fruits, or those in the incipient stages
of decay, are calculated to increase these
excitements, and to generate disease
Fruits should always become ripe in theil
own natural way, and be eaten when they
in their highest perfection.

WHEAT IN MAtYR.-The State Of Maine
has taken noble stand, in the production
of wheat and corn. The number of bush
els of these two kinds of grain, raised last
year in that state, is ,U07 ,346 of whea.,--
1850 1896 of Indian corn in the ear. The
Maine Farmer says 'we are proud of this
exhibit. 1t shows what Maine can do.
She can raise her own bread and to spare.
Massachusetts raised last year 97,l95 bush
els OF wheat; Maine 1,Ol0,640 bushels
more than that state. Our own little coun-
ty of Kennebec--little in point of territory,
produced l25,933 bushels, being 29,73s
bushels more than the whole state OF Mas
sachusctts."
Let this be lesson we say to the fal
mers of the west. With soil more diff
cult of cultivation, and climate far more
inhospitablc to the production of wheat,
the state of Maine, in proportion to its pop.
u'ation, has raised nearly as much bread
stutfs as the Empire state. Think OF the
wealth that has accrued to the state, at the
present high prices of gram, by this eco
nomical measure. 1t has gone far to dc
away with the evils of the miserable timber
land speculation, which created SO much
distress two years ago.-BgE u. ReP.

succeeded in every case they have known.
Then why not use it? 1t is the recipe Of

sufficient excuse for suffering their patients
