Care should be taken to procure kinds
that give as little trouble as possible in
the gathering and preparation, such as
strawberries that leave their hulls be-
hind them when picked, grapes and
other fruit with edible skins, stoneless
cherries and coreless apples, if possible
People must eat more deliberately and
not be so much afraid of dishes contain
ing cherry stones, grape seeds, goose
berry tops" and tomato and peach
skins. True, our improvements in ma
chinery doubtless viii aid US in the
preparation of fruit for the table, but
generally the skins and smaller seeds
are decidedly wholesome, especially to
sedentary people, and they need not be
rejected. Of Health.

Too Enterprising.

Newspapers ought to be more explicit
Bungus, the reporter for the Daily Argus
was over at Vineland, n. j., the other
day, and when the Vineland paper came
out he was astonished TO perceive in it
among other items of local news the fol-
lowing:
Mr.. Green's Isabella, although very
prolific and in a healthy, thriving condi-
ton, was chopped up by him on Wednes-
day and then burned to ashes. 1t is to
be feared that he will regret his action
in the matter"
Of course the editor referred to Mr.
Green's grapevine; but Bungus naturally
conceived the idea that Green had butch'
cred his wife or servant girl, and he inn
mediately sent off a dispatch to the
argus, which came out next morning
with terrific headlines announcing: A
frightful tragedy in Vineland!' i" Inhu-
man butchery of q woman!" "She is
burned to ashes" etc, etc. The story
was contradicted on the following day
when Bungus had obtained fuller intor-
nation; but it is thought he will have to
resign There is such a thing as being
too enterprising.-Ifa AdeLer, IN DAN

Sad Instance of PremOnition of Death.

The most painful instance of a man
having a premOnitiOn of death that /
know of was that of Mr.. Fortescue, who
lived in our village. He came home one
afternoon with pallid face and told his
wife that he was deeply impressed with
the conviction that he would die within
fOrty-eight hours. Then. while she was
bathed in tears, he sat down and had q
long talk with her, giving directions
about his affairs, advising her about
managing the dear children when he was
gone and telling her how tenderly he
loved her and how hard it was for him to
part from her. After a few passionate eX-
pressiOns of affection and regret Mr..
FOrtesCue sent for lawyer and made his
will Then he went around and babe
gOOd-by to his friends and sought q min
lister, from whom he obtained religious
consolation and from whom he parted
weeping. Proceeding to the taflOrs he
purchased a burial suit, and then, after
making all the arrangements with the
undertaken for the funeral, he bought a
handsome satin-lined rosewood coffin and
wrote out list of the friends whom he
wanted to act as pallbearers. The tomb
stone selected by him at the marble-yard
bore a representation Of a flower with a
broken stem and the legend Not lost,
but gone before" and in his interview
with the gravedigger at the cemetery he
selected 4 spot near where his mother
was laid, under the green trees, for
tomb, at the same time giving directions
that violets should be planted above him
in the early spring. 1t was very melan-
choly and full of deepest pathos. This
was in 1914, and he is still alive and
hearty, having since been twice in the
State Legislature, once in jail for assault
and battery upon his wife, and having
been turned out of the temperance So
ciety for drinking too much bewildering
rum. He resides in Pencader, where he
keeps billiard saloon, and he attributes
that warning to his having been too bill

How to Raise More Fruits.

FRUITS should be raised in greater
abundance. At present they are quite
too dear to permit them to be used very
freely, especially our home fruits. This
lack makes fruit diet almost as eXpen-
sivc as a meat diet, and when the two
are united the expense Is appalling.
More fruit should be planted everywhere.
Our city and village friends should hus-
band the little space they have In grapes,
pears, goOseberries, cherries and plums,
or in whatever is most expensive, or to
which the soil is best adapted in any par
ticular locality In no way can given
space be made to produce larger returns,
and many city lot so titled would re-
duce the grocer's fruit bill to an insignifi-
cant item, besides paying for itself in the
saving of doctors bills. Vines and es-
paliers NAV be trained on the walls
bushes border the sides, and trees stand
in the back end: while the low roofs, if
there are any, may be made to sustain
choice pumpkins and squashes. Wewill
not say how much might be done on the
top of the house, though that is more IA
vorable for the culture of plants in pots,
which NAV be removed in winter.
Soils adapted mostly to fruits must be
better appreciated and more cultivated.
so that they will not monopolize land
that is already costly, because 1t will
raise grass and grain. The sandy lands
Of the New Jersey Pines" afford good
illustration of what can be done in this
direction. Lands that until lately have
been almost worthless because they
wouldn't raise grass" are among the
best producers of small fruits in the
country.
Fruit trees should be set out freely
along the roadside and in other place;
now devoted to barren shade trees
Choice kinds should be obtained and the
rights of owners respected just as much
Men should plant for others and for theil
children trees of which perchance
themselves may never eat the fruit
Women should 60 into the cultivation OF
fruit. They would find it pleasant
1 heaIthful and remunerative; for the
market for fruit is and will be continu
! ally on the increase.

See This Ere Ear!

THE Detroit Free Press tells how a
Withholding man, with his hat in his
hand and blood running down his Shout
der from a badly-bitten ear, called on
the Mayor of that city. 8" Is this the
Mayor of the town." he screamed. See
this ERE carp The official looked and
replied that it was sad-loOking yes,
and it was did right in this DOWNRIGHT
down here not forty rods away! Is this
a one-hoss town whar they jump from
behind the door and grab a mans ear, or
is it big town, whar they strike from
the shoulder? This is the way | f1ght!'
and he unbuttoned his jacket and danced
around, shooting out with his right and
then with his left, and then getting
away" from a blow on the nasal. The
Mayor was kept lodging to avoid sore
eye, and he hastily promised to have the
police look into the matter. "Perlice"
shouted the man-"who said perliCe?
What | want is for 'em to stand up square
and come for me so-and so-and sol"
And he jumped this way and that, ducked
his head, and kicked higher than the
Mayors nose. Then he squared off in
front of the hat-rack and knocked the
hats right and left" No, sir, haint no
chicken l want a square shake and no
morei Let 'em climb on to me by the
front door and they gifts it in this way
and that way-and so-and under the
chin-and on top Of the head-and in
the stomach!' His kicks and blows
drove the official into a corner to avoid
accident, and the man was promised that
hereafter he should have a square show
according to the latest rules Of the P. r.
That's biz, that isr' he replied, getting
ready to walk out, /" and now l know this

The Gaming CITY Election

The Union is working hard to get up a
ticket for the city election composed OF
men who will raise the taxes to the old fig
ure when Murdoch and Haverstiek run the
machine. 1t insists that it was wrong in
Bailey Davenport to reduce the taxes, but
we hardly think the people will agree with
that paper. Somehow, people think their
money is safer in their own pockets, and
they prefer to keep it there. High taxes
make extravagant officials. An empty
treasury causes them to be economical
Keep down your assessments, and keer
down your tax levies if you want an eco
nomical government. The Haverstick ring
says ITO whatever extent he Bailey Dav.
enport has lowered the taxes for the last
year we must be additionally taxed this
year" We deny this proposition, and de
clare that the city government can be ruI
for the coming year without any apprecia

and at the same time somewhat reduce tn,

but the people will have none of them

Vindlcation Of Mr.. Sumner,

When Senator Summers manhood re-
belled against our horse jockey President,
Massachusetts, Republicanism forgot his
eminent services and purity of character
and sought some pretex to censure him.
They did not wait long. He introduced a
resolution directing a committee to inquire
into the propriety .of, in the future1pub-
lication of the Army Register, emitting
the long enumeration and repetition OF en-
gagements which preceded the roster of
each regiment; it was a useless expense !;
it was paid for from the common fund, and
it tended to keep upilLfeeling between the
North and South.
Mr.. Summers proposal referred simply
to the omission, on the Army Register OF
the tittwe,of all names of battles, etc., and
the same omission on the flags noac an stse
by the regular army of the United States.
Inasmuch as the Army Register is Is
sued annually from the War Office OF the
Government, and is nothing more than
directory or roster of officers in the regu'
lar army; and inasmuch as our army is a
sort of National police force, as much IL
the employ of the States lately re- admitted
into the Union as in that of Massachusetts
or Illinois, or Of any State or States, the
course taken by Mr. Sumner was eminent
| ly proper.
Mr.. Sumner never sought to obllteratt
from the Army Register and National re
cords Of the past the names, dates, etc. O
battles fought by our armies in the late Re
bellion, -robbing the historian and an in
Touring posterity Of valuable data and in
formation and much less did he eve
seek to disturb the inscriptions on the tat
tered flags of the volunteers,-th flag
torn by the storm of battle and stained
with the blood of those who bore them
now preserved as sacred relics by the PEG
pie of the States to whom they belong.
, But Massachusetts was tied to the ca
of the Republican party; Sumner was
, Greeley man, and he must be censured IL
some way for daring to exercise has o'o1
y Judgment. The Massachusetts Legislator
therefore censaued him unhedrd; condemn
ed him acithom trial!
O Massachusetts has repented, and now
by vote of &c to I in the Senate, and IL
to 40 in the House, backs out of its unjus
o censure, and repeats its spiteful resolution
The sober second thought has done it
9 good work, and indicated true man.
