One morning. when he had Just me

Apples for Human Food.

The importance Of apples, as food,
has not hitherto been sufficiently esti-
mated in this country, nor understood.
Besides contributing large portion Of
sugar, mucilagc, and other nutritive
matter, in the form of food, they con-
tain such fine combination Of vegita-
bic acids, extractive substances, and
aromatic principles, with nutritive mat
ter as to act powerfully in tho capac-
ity Of refreshments tonies, and ants
septics; and, when freely used in tho
season of ripcncss by rural laborers
and others, they prevent debility,
strengthen digestion, correct tho pu-
trefcative tendencies Of nitrogenous
food avert scurvy, and probably main.
tain and strengthen their powers OF
productive labor. "Tho operatives
of Cornwall, in England, consider ripc
apples nearly as nourishing as bread.
and more so than potatoes. ln tho
year 1901, a year of scarcity, apples
instead of being converted into cider,
we're sold to the poor and the labor,
crs asserted that they could stand to
their work on baked apples without
meat whereas potatoe diet required
either meat or fish," The French and
Germans use apples extensively; in
deed, it is rare they sit down, in the
rural districts. without them in some
shape or other, even at the best ia,
blcs. The laborers and mechanics dc.
pend on them to q very great extent
as an article of fool, and frequently
dine on sliced apples and bread.
Stcwcd with rice, red cabbage carrots
or by themselves, with a littlo milk
and sugar, they make pleasant and
nutricious dish. If our friends will
only provide themselves with plenty
Of choica fruit, We venture that not
ono man, woman, or child, in fifty
would cure for animal flesh to eat
Who doubts for moment that many
scrofulous and other diseases arc trace
able to a meat diet? It's we'll knoW
that the meat we eat is in diseased
state when slaughtered, and its eff
fects may we'll be imagined. Yet
your fruit is always in healthy state, ,
and cannot generate disease in tho
human body; but it has diluting, pu.
rifying and renova:ing tendency.-.

DR.. Lamb was great sorccrcr in
the time Of Charles |. Tho famous
Richard Baxter, in his "Ccrtainty of
tho World of Spirits" printed in 1G-
'91, has recorded an appropriate in
stance of the miraculous performances
of this man:
Meeting two of his acquaintances in
tho street, and they having minated
a desire to witness some example Of
his skill, he invited them home with
him. He then conducted them into
an inner room, when presently to
their no small surprise. they saw a tree
spring up in the middle Of tho apart
mcnt.
They had scarcely ceased wonder
ing at this phenomenon, when in mo-
mcnt there appeared three diminutivc
men. with little axes in their hands
for the purpose eff cutting down the
tree. The trco was fclled and the
Doctor dismissed his guests, fully sat-
isfied of the solidity of his pretensions
The worry night, however, n trcmcn-
dous hurricane arose, causing the
house of one of the guests to rock from
side to side, with every appearance
that the building would come down
and bury him and hi. wife in the ru-
ins.
| The wife in great terror, asked ;
"Werc You not at DR.. Lambs to-day"
The husband confessed it was true.
"And did you not bring away some
thing from his house ?"
The husband owned that, when the
little men felled the tree, he had been
idle enough to pick up some of the
chips, and put them in his pocket.
Nothing now remains to be done but
to produce the chips, ard get rid of
them as fast as they could. This GER
emony performed, the whirlwind im>
mediately ceased, and the remainder
of the night became perfectly calm and
serene.
DR.. Lamb at length became so o.
dious by his reputation for these in
fernal practices that the population
rose upon him in 1910, and tore him
to pieces in the street. Nor did tho
effects of his i'll fame terminate here.
Thirteen years after, woman who
had been his servant maid, was appre,
hended on charge of witchcraft, was
tried, and, in cxpiation of her crime,
was executed at Tyburn.

The priests count beads, shave their

bells, the lighting Of candles, and tho
burning Of incense. In fact, except
