APPLES as AN ARTICLE OF FooD.-The i'm
portance of apples, as food, has not hitherto
been sufficiently estimated in this country
nor understood. Besides contributing large
proportion of sugar, mucilage and other nu-
tritive matter, in the form of food, they con-
tain such fine combination of vegetable
acids, extractive substances, and aromatic
principles, with the nutritive matter, to
act powerfully in the capacity of refrigerants.
tonic and anti-sceptics; and when freely used
at the season of ripeness, by rural laborers
and others, they prevent debility, strength
en- digestion, correct the putrefactive tenden-
cies of heterogeneous food, avert scurvy, and
probably maintain and strengthen the powers
of productive labor"
The operators of Cornwall, in England,
consider ripe apples nearly as nourishing as
bread, and more 50 than potatoes. In the
year 1901 year Of scarcity, apples instead
of being co verted into cider, were sold to the

Cows that hold upsmik, Mr.. johnson says
can be cured if they will drink sour milk.
After drinking, and as soon they begin to
lick the pail, they will give down freely. He
has tried it with COWS that would give about
two thirds the proper xuantity, retaining the
other portion. Then he gives them the milk
to drink, and waits until they begin to lick
the pail, when he has no trouble in obtaining
the remainder. He has tried meal. salt and
| various things, but found nothing to produce
such an effect as sour milk.

The Arabs, the most careful of their horses
of all people. do most of their horse-feeding
at night. They say that feeding in the day
time does not impart so much vigor and
elasticity to the animals as night mastcation
does. Their saying is that g barley at night
goes to the buttock-in the morning to the
manure They afford water too very spar
ingly during the day time.

Door and the laborers asserted that they
could stand their work on baked apples,
without meat :. whereas, potato diet re-
quires either meat or fish.
The French and German use apples exten-
.sively; indeed it is rare that they sit down
in the rural districts, without them in some
shape or other, even at the best tables. The
laboEers and mechanics depend on them, to a
very great extent, as an article Of food, and
dine on sliced apples and bread.
Stewed with rice, red cabbage, carrots, or by
themselves, with little sugar and milk, they
make both pleasant and nutritious dish.

The /. DE SoTo " st ST. THoNAs.-The officers
of the De Soto say that they never before expert
eneed anything 80 terrific as the earthquake.
They were, ut the time, dressing TO 90 on shore,
it being about three o'clock in the afternoon,
when their attention was attracted by a dull.
heavy noise, and all hands came on deck to ascer-
tain the cause of il. None seemed to understand
what it was except the chief engineer, who has
been in the service about twenty years, and who
declared that it was an earthquake, and that
they would presently see a large wave, as they
were always accompanied by one. One of the
officers then looked over the side of the vessel and
discovered to his dismay that the water was re-
ceiing from the harbor, and that the vessel was
being left high and dry. The chief engineer then
called their attention 10 a wave about two miles
out which was rapidly approaching the vessel.
The DE Soto was laying under one anchor, which
was speedily run out, and the wave struck the
vessel amidshiTs with terrible force. carrying her
far up the harbor and breaking the cable. Two
of the ships boats were stove and n third was
carried away, but was subsequently recovered.
The wave receded and returned no less than six
time, and slowed her keel, causing her to leak
considerably. This damage was subsequently
temporarily repaired.

The ORIGIN OF THE NEEDLE GUN.-A mere acct
dent, less strange, to be sure, than that which,
made Berthold Schwarz invent gunpowder, but
which nevertheless must be regarded as a hint of
Providence, directed him to another, and we can
now say, the only right way. 1t was thus 1t
sometimes happened that quantities of percussion
caps were sent back to him, having been spoiled
by moisture. In order TO prevent this, Dreysse
conceived the idea of protecting them against
d~ampness by covering them with a thin film of
paper.
The result proved to be the very opposite, for
the paper attracted moisture, and a very large
order. which had been constructed in this way,
was sent back to him, as they were entirely
spoiled and unfit for use. This was n great loss
to the firm, as copper was very dear at that time.
In order to obtain the copper of the caps for fur
Their manufacturing purposes, Dreysse decided to
remove the Eliminating composition. In order to
effect this with as little loss of time as possible he
wanted to do it by explosion. After various IN
satisfactory attempts, the idea occurred TO him of
accomplishing it by means of a pin or needle
constructed for that purpose. This experiment
proved to be entirely successful, and like lightning
the idea struck him of using the needle altogether
for exploding the cartridge. Not less quickly a
second idea dawned on his mind, that OF removing
the entire explosive process from without to with
in the gun. and by inserting the explosive material
into the cartridge, TO save the expensive copper
used heretofore for caps. This was the first I'M
portant step in the construction of the Prussian
needle gun, Dreysse Mt once set to work, and in
the beginning of 1929 the first needle gun was
made.-HourS at Home.

The Man WHO SHOT At QUEEN VIcToRA.-The
British Medical Journal says: After twenty
seven years of confinement in n criminal lunatic
emplary, and no traces have appeared of mental
alteration, Oxford, the potboy, who shot at Her
Majesty in st. James Park, has been liberated.
During this time many appeals have been made
in his behalf by influential persons who have had
the opportunity of watching his demeanor and
gauging his character. His own story has always
been. and was 70 consistently from the first, that
the pistol which he fired was not loaded. 1t will
be remembered that no bullet was ever found.
He attributes the criminal act which he has ex-
plated by long im~murement, and which, under n
less merciful government, must have cost his life,
to inordinatc vanity, fostered by n variety of
trivial circumstances in his domestic life and tram
Ing on which we need not dwell, and which led
To n senseless desire to attain notoriety by some
means and this foolish and criminal impulse led
to his amentable crime. He has occupied his
time in n certain amount of self-cducation, of
winch the means have been granted To him at
Broadnoor and in the asylum in which he was
formerly confined, and has become n tolerable
linguis:. He has also taught himself, and prac-
ticed graining,' which he does sufficiently well
TO earn a living. He las been mercifully released,
but has been very properly prohibited from re-
manning in or visiting England. Whether di-
rectly insane ut the time of his offence, or led by
a miserable love of notoriety, 1t Is very right that
the person of the Sovereign should be protected
from the vanity of q man who, at however distant
a period, could commit the cowardly outrage of
which he was the perpetrator."
