Fruit as q Medicine.

The worst case of dyspepsia can be cured
without the least particle OF medicine, simply
by eating nothing in which lard is an ingre-
dent using butter sparingly, eating bread
made of unboted flour, and making free use
of fruit, especially apples. In fact, on the
departure of winter most people would be
much better off if they eat meat not much Of
tener than once or twice week, and use
vegetables instead. Pork and lard are the
grea. promoters Of dyspepsia and fevers, and
bilious diseases are fed by keeping orr bodily
heat of midwinter through June, July, Aug
ust and September by never changing our diet
from the heavy meats of January. An emil
nent French physician says that the decrease
of dyspepsia and bilious affections in Paris
is owing to the increased consumption of ap.
ples-a fruit, he maintains, which is an ad-
mirable preventive and tonic as well as a very
nourishing and easiy-digested article of food.
The Parisians devour one hundred millions of
them every winter, and we do not doubt that
these statements are perfectly correct. In
fact, instances have come under our observa-
tion where fresh fruit had an immediate effect
in checking bilious tendencies in individuals,
and we have heard of whole districts where
bilious diseases became prevalent upon fail
uTe OF the fruit crop. Fruit.gr0wers may,
therefore, count on a constantly increasing
demand for the products of their orchards
and gardens as the healLh-giving properties
of fruit become known.-Cin. Westeru To-

BUSINESS BEFORE THE HOUSE.
The business calendar of the house for Mon
day next has just been prepared by the Jour
nal clerk. The second matter in order on tbs
speakers table is the senate civil rights bill.
and the first pending motion to reconsider is
that of Butler on the house civil-rights bill,
which is Identical with Summers. This house
bill was reported from the judiciary committee
last winter, and, after discussion, was recon-
mitted. Butler then entered motion to re-
consider, but refrained from calling it up, as
action on the senate bill would be the
shortest way to dispose Of the matter. Nearly

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
The Failure of Farming.

1t is worthy of remark that at the present
time the price of flour ranges from 81 to Sc
per barrel, according to some Philadelphia
quotations; and this is as low as in the most
prosperous times before the war. Yet the
most of what the farmer uses, at fair av-
erage, costs one-third more. One would sup
pose that with this comparative cheapness of
food there would be prosperity among the op-
erative and laboring classes. This has gener-
ally been the case in other parts of the world.
Cheap food and fair times have generally
gone together. We may therefore, look to
the cause of the depression of the past year to
some exceptional cause, not coming under
the head OF general rule, and this will proba-
bly, be found in the tendency of all people,
rich and poor alike, to live beyond their
means during the war. They were living on
debt rather than on actual wealth on what
they were to pay, rather than or what they
had earned; and now as we are year by year

Boston no longer lies between us. We retain
our interest and relations with our capital as
heretofore, and they retain many of theirs. But
Boston no longer lies between us. Our speak
ing tubes no longer lie over two sides and the
obtuse angle OF very large triangle. 1t is now
five hours without break, instead of eleven
hours with long stoppage and transshipment
of person and property. Time and directness
are of the essence of modern, political and So
cial economy. The curved line of beauty belongs
to art, and helps out poetry and sentiment, but
the progress of the commercial age advances in
the bee lines. Communities, cities, seek each
other in straight lines as the bi I'd flies for its
food and its friendship. Men of affairs CT the
present day, unlike the ancient Argonauts in
search of their golden fleece, move not under
fabby sails, hugging the coast but they take
the engineer for their pilot and mount the
lightning train for their vehicle and drive with
out relay to the marts of trade or the abodes of
domestic happiness. Since the merchants and
manufacturers of Portland, consulting time,
economy and facility, must come through our
city, if, in passing they will leave with us their
benediction and blessing. it will be our rich re-

approaching solid state of things, it is hard
to realize the difference. There are many,
however, who do, and they do not buy; and
others are compelled to shorten their pur-
chases, because they have already spent all;
and these things always tell on the market
for agricultural produce. One would sup
pose that people must in any event, have
something to eat; but it Is universal expert
ence that dull times do seriously affect the
sale OF farm crops. NJ
Still the question remains why flour should
be SO very low in comparison with all other
stocks? We suppose it must be owing to the
introduction of improved machinery which
the war made it necessary to invent. This
did away with an immense amount of hand
labor. and made production less costly. We
suppose that even at present prices there is
as much profit as before. The improvement
in agricultural implements has been extraor-
binary during the past twenty years. In no
other department of human industry has the
progress been SO great. In machinery for
clothing material, the progress started half a
century before it did in agriculture. 1t has
put down cotton and wooden fabrics TO the
lowest figures, and agriculture is but just fol-
lowing. The proper relations OF the agri-
cultural product to manufacturing wants,
cannot help but be disturbed under these cir
cumstances. The past troubles will tend to
produce an equilibrium. This equalization
is indeed fast being realized; and in spite OF
the croakings of some that farming will new
er be what it was, we believe that as soon as
still water is reached, which will be soon,
farming will be among the most steadily prof
itablespursuts-if it is not SO already.-Ger.
