Eating Fruit.

We hardly know how to account for the
popular impression that still prevails in
many rural districts that the free use of
fruit is unfriendly to health. 1t has much
to do with the scarcity Of fruit gardens and
orchards in the country. As matter OF
fact, cities and villages are better supplied
with fruit the year round than the sur
rounding country. There are hundreds of
farms, even in the oldest parts Of the land,
where there is no orchard, and the only
fruit is gathered from a few Seeding apple
trees grown in the fence-corners. The wants
of cities are supplied not so much from the
proper farming districts as from IA few men
in their suburbs who make business of
growing fruit for market. The farmers
who raise good variety Of small fruit for
the supply Of their own families are
still the exception The villager, with his
quarter or halfacre lot will have his patch
of strawberries, his row Of currants and
raspberries, his grape vines and pear trees,
and talks intelligently of the varieties of
these fruits His table is we'll supplied
with these luxuries for at least halfthe year.
But there is lamentable dearth of good
fruit upon the farm, from the want Of con-
viction that it pays 1t does pay in per-
sonal comfort and health, if in nothing else.
The medical faculty will bear testimony to
the good influence of ripe fruits upon the
animal economy. They regulate the sys-
TEN better than anything else and forestall
many of the diseases to which we are liable
in summer and fall. A quaint old gentle
man of our acquaintance often remarks that
apples are the only pills he takes. He takes
these every day in the year when they can
be found in the market, and fills up the in
tertals between the old and new crop by
other fruits. He has hardly seen sick
day in forty years and pays no doctors bill.
We want more good fruit, especially upon
our farms, and the habit of eating fruit at
our meals. This is just one Of the matters
in which farmers wives can exert an in
fuence Many good man would set out
fruit trees and bushes if he were only re-
minded of it at the right time. One right
time will be this autumn-at least, in al
but the very coldest parts of the country

abundant returns in from one to five years

morals than our philosophers think. With

Arrest Of COunterfeiters.;

Lately the United States has been flooded
with counterfeit bank bills. Sowell executed
was this work that it was difficult to tell
the good bills from the bad. The govern
ment detectives mace raid on a dwelling
house in Brooklyn. They rung the bell
and without making known their business
went UP stairs to the third floor and sur
prised Tom Congdon and and his printer,
Charles Conklin, at work. Conklin was
at the seal press, about to stamp a counter
felt note on the national bank of Castleton,
n. Y, with the government seal. Both
men gave up at once, and the officers be-
gan to gather together the counterfeiting
material Over $4,000 in counterfeit
bills on various banks were found drying
and in a few days would have been on the
market. The detectives said that the gang
had made in all about 100000 but that
they had not put more than $4,000 or
SAT 900 Of it into circulation. 4 man
named Warner sold the money in Con
necticut, Vermont, Rhode Island and
| Massachusetts,, for thirty or thirty five
cents on the dollar. He had regular eusto-
mers. As near as corld be ascertained
they thought that there was S1l, 900 out
on the bank of New Bedford, $4,000 on
the First National bank of Northampton
and $4,000 on the Hamden bank o
Westfeld Warner had been away on
dealing trip for short time. He returned
to New York to get ready for the issue
on the Castleton bank, which was to bt
| made at once
The counterfeits are well executed, ant
readily pass. The names of the cashie
and president of each bank were engrave,
on the original plate, and not forged b.
pen, as is usual The detectives think tina
they have all of the members of the gang
Congdon,. who was its organizer, neve
allowed Warner to know where the none
was made, and on one knew the secre
except Conklin and the owner of the house
AS one of the gang named White wa
taken to the jail he bade the detective
goodbye, saying that he thought he ha
saved himself five years by pleading guilt.
He is the engraver for the gang and on
of the best workmen in the country. III

debted, in this Centennial year OF our ex-
istence, for preserved, unbroken Union /;
for the fact that there is no master or

To the intelligence and conscience of all

Republican party, not unmindful of the i'm

its claims for the continued support Of the

Beware Of Kerosene.
sugar.

Between 5000 and 5000 people per-
ished in this country last year, victims of
kerosene oil accidents. So said Mr.. Ru-
fus S Merrill, of Boston, IN an address
before the American Chemical society on
Thursday night. Mr. Merrill contended
that every lamp IN the land when burning,
in temperature of seventy five or eighty
degrees, oil of the iguiting test required
by law-110 degrees-is in an explosive
condition and needs but ignition in the
in the bowl to produce disaster. Many
scientific men, the speaker said, had sup
posed that the flash point was the point of
safety, hut he demonstrated by experiment
to the satisfaction of his audience that it is
thirty or thirty-fve degrees below the
igniting point. Oil after burning fifteen
or twenty minutes, will produce an explosive
gas 1t was Also demonstrated that oil
with an igniting point of $50 degrees is in
explosive condition when burned inclosed
as in lanterns ON shipboard and in railway
cars. Naptha, the speaker claimed to be
the most dangerous Of all preparations of
petroleum. A sample Of it at seventy de-
grees was subjected to the test usually
applied by retail dealers to satisfy Gus
toners. y lighted match was applied to
an open vessel of it without ignition tax
ing place. 4 small portion of it was put
into a can, shaken up and light intro
duced, when an explosion occurred, show
ing that the stuff beomes explosive upon
mixing with the oxygen of the atmosphere:
The speaker claimed that oil should stand
test of 800 degrees in order to be safe
and that no device could be contrived which
would render safe the burning of an article
inherently dangerous. Where so much oil
is burned, as there is in the small towns
and rural districts of the country not sup
piled with gas, it is well to mind every
word of caution uttered against the use Of
this dangerous light.

How to Treat Sunstroke.

Sunstroke is caused by excessive heat,
and especially if the weather is ''muggy."
1t is more apt to occur on the second, third;
or fourth day Of heated term than on the
first Loss of sleep, worry, excitement,
close sleeping rooms, debility, and abuse of
stimulants predispose 1t is much more
apt to attack those working in the sun, and
especially between the hours of eleven
o'clock in the IHorning and four o clock in
the afternoon. On hot days wear thin
clothing Have as cool sleeping rooms as
possible Avoid loss of sleep and all un-
necessary fatigue. If working in doors and
where there is artificial heat, see that the
room is well ventilated.
If working IN the sun wear light hat
(not black, as it absorbs the heat) and put
inside Of it on the head wet cloth or a
large green leaf frequently lift the hat
from the head and see that the cloth is wet.
Do not check perspration, but drink what
water you need to keep it up, as perspiration
prevents the body from being overheated.
Have wherever possible an additional shade,
or board cover when working in the sun.
When much fatigued do not 90 to work,
or be excused from work, especially after
! eleven o'clock in the morning on very hot
days, especially if the work is in the sun.
IF a feelfng of fatigre, dizziness, headache
or exhaustion occurs, cease work immedia-
tely, lie down III shady and cool place,
apply cold cloths to and pour cold water
over head and neck. If any one is over
come by the heat give the person cool drinks
of water or cold black tea or cold coffee, if
able to swallow If the skin is hot and
dry, sponge with or poor cold water over
the body and limbs, and apply to the head
pounded ice wrapped in a towel or other
cloth If there is no ice at hand keep a
cloth on the head, and pour cold water on
it as we'll as on the body.
IF the person is pale, very faint, and
pulse feeble, let him inhale ammonia for q
few seconds, or be given tablespoonful of
aromantic spirits of ammonia (hartshorn)
IN two tablespoonful Of water with a little
sugar.

An Enormous Hog.

An enormous hog, raised by Mr.. Joseph
Schnell, near Rossierre, Putnam county,
New York, was sold to butcher in Water
town few days since. 1t measured eight
feet in length, seven feet girth, stands three
feet four inches high, and pulls the scales
down at the enormous weight of 100
pounds. Mr.. Schnel should have kept
him for exhibition at the Centennial Ex-
position in September next, at Philadelphia,
as companion to the Middleton prize OK
of 5000 pounds, where many speculator
in monstrosities would gladly have given
four times his worth in pork for him.

Are Two Heads Better Than One ?

In the redwoods, about twenty miles
from Petaluma, there lives a family who
have female child about eight years old,
which qas two well-developed and perfectly
formed heads and neeks. According to
this correspondent, the necks unite where
the neeks join the backbone, and from
that point downward to all appearance it
is the body of but one child. The two
heads are called Dollie and Ollie. Dole
has rich brown hair, dark hazel eyes, and
is brunette Ollie has fair skin, auburn
hair and blue eyes. They can each con-
verse with different persons on different
subjects at the same time and are well in-
formed and intelligent. This certainly is a
great curiosity, and it seems marvellous that
it has not been known before.-PetdlUm0

Proclamation.

This is emphatically an age of kissing.
Everybody kisses everybody. Since
the anti-fastidiOus days when the old
woman kissed her COW, such a time of
promiscuOus and inordinate lip-service
was never known. The sign and seal of
a "strange intelligence" has become a
Kissing and by-word; the plsything of
witlings; the tool of satyrs; the lost
jewel of the elect.
Zenobia's kiss is the ''long and silent"
throb of her inmost soul-unexpressed
and inexpressible, save to those divinely
akin; but she chances to be one in the
indiscriminate circle, and, as each
member drops off, must bend her stately
head to the puppet performance-the
kiss all around-whieh would be most
appropriately accompanied by the ele-
CANT air of
"Pop! goes the weasel"
f. Penelope, herself, is obliged to look
sharply to the dew on her lips, or ten to
one 1t will be spirited away on some
graceless nlOustdche. The malady
grows, and is becoming epidemic and
chronic.
That last evening at the W-'s, the
last stout woman in the file of leave
takers had well-nigh finished me. Zeus
and Juno what an expressiOnless, cav
ernous mouth yawned over mine
Nectar and ambrosia what a moist ex-
plosion! For the next six weeks will
not kiss a friend. In the meantime,
the dews of heaven, the ''milk-fed-lips'
of babies, and my hearts best prayers,
will perhaps bring back the raYished
privilege.
A kiss should be one of the holies6
demonstrations of the soul; it should
have a voiceless eloquence-an electric
tranquility-an eclectic reserve. 1t has
no such thing. IL pops good morning;
it sputters a good evening; it whizzes
and fizzes on the right hand, on the left
hand, here, there, and everywhere; we
are kept constantly on the defensive; at
last, marked, cornered, and set up0n,-
we plant our teeth hard, and abide the
shocks as best we can. 1t is high
handed sacrilege, and l 1OiU enter my
protest.
A kiss is no more an unconsidered
trifle to be rudely filched-torn warm
and beating from its nestling-place, aud
frittered from mouth to mouth-than Is
the purest prayer 1 offer, which God
keep still inviolate If we would re-
serve this gift sweet and holy token
beautified and sanctified to the beloved
we must use it wisely, with noble
chariness.-Mdry FOrcett.
