Fruit as a Medicine.

The irregular eating of unripe fruit is
well known to be unwholesome. The
regular and moderate use of we'll ripened
fruit is not SO widely preciated as con-
tributing to health. Residents in regions
where more or less malaria prevails have
discovered that nothing is a more sure
preventive of it's deleterious effects than
a regular supply of fruit.
But fruit will not only prevent disease,
but in some instances it has proved one
of the best medicines to cure it. Many
years ago a chronic cough, which had
excited good of uneasiness, was cured
by eating ripe raspberries, recommended
by medical writer of high authority as
an excellent expectorant. Severe colds
are more apt to occur on the first cool
and damp days of autumn than at any
othe2 seasons. We have often cured
these diseases ON the first attack by eat
ing copiously of ripe watermelons. The
beneficial effects of drinking freely of
cold water on such occasions are well
known. Watermelons supply larger
quantity than one could easily swallow
in any other way.-Cotnatry Gentleman.

Vegetable Electricity.

A botanical traveller in Nicaragua de-
scribes through the columns of Belgian
horticultural publication, species of
phytolacca which is in the vegetable
world the counterpart Of the gymnotps
or electric eel. On attempting TO gather
a branch Of this plant tho hand feels
shock ms If from an electric machine |;
,and a~eompass is sensibly affected by
proximity to the plant, the needle being
agitated in proportion to its nearness to
the shrub, taking on rapid gyratory
movement when the instrument is placed
in the middle Of the bush. There is, it
seems, no doubt that the phenomena are
due to an electrical state of the plant
itself for, first, the intensity of the
action varies according to the time of
day, being slight during the night, and
at its maximum an hour or two after
noon and, secondly, during stormy
weather it considerably increased, while
in dry seasons it reaches its minimum,
the plant remaining in withered s tate
until the arrival of rain. s.-.

Whales on the California Coast.

Last week, says recent number of
the Monterey CulJornia1,, our Portu-
guese fishermen killed large female
whale, of the California gray species,
about sixty feet in length, being some
twenty-five feet larger than has ever
been killed here before-the average of
females killed being about forty-two
feet. After cutting off the blubber,
they found inside nearly full grown
male calf, which measured eighteen feet
from the end of its nose to the tip of its
tail, OF frke as the whalers call it; the
circumference of the body at its center,
nine feet; the head about four feet in
length; pectoral fins, three feet; breadth
of tail, three and half feet; and it had
two ridges ON the lower jaw. When
brought on shore Is. still had three feet
of the umbilical cord attached to it.
The whalebone on its upper jaw was soft
and white; the tongue, large and soft ;
the eyes, nearly full size, about as large
as cows; and the skin was of dark
brown, mottled white. 1t had no dorsal
fin. The females, when with young,
generally keep off shore when on their
way down south, to bring them forth in
the warm waters of the bays of Lower
California, where they remain all winter
and go north in the spring. The fe-
males, when with calf, are dangerous,
as they often attack the boats of the
whalers. The writer once saw Il boat
cut completely i'll two by the hukes OF
one of these whales, and it looked as if ii
had been chopped in two by dull ak
and several Of the men We're wounded.
The term of CESSATION is about one year.
Formerly these marine monsters we're Sc
numerous in Monterey bay that whalers
would fill up lying at anchor. Often
times they would be seen playing in the
surf and rolling the barnacles off of theil
sides and backs on the sand beach--ar
odd way of scratching themselves.

New Cloths for Spring Wraps.

Dolmans and scraf mantles will be
worn i'll the spring, and the counters of
retail stores are already heaped with the
new cloths to be used for them. Gray,
drab, cream, brown, and fawn shades are
shown i'll variety for these wraps. There
are rough feeced camel's hair cloths a
third of an inch thick, yet of light weight,
for warmer weather. They cost $4. 80
yard in stylish shades, are of cloth
width (Which is forty eight inches), and
can scarcely be distinguished from the
heavier camel's hair cloths sold for $40
yard. Basket woven cloths with checks
of various sizes are from $3.50 to 81 q
yard. Fine Scotch cloths in gray mix
lures are $4 80. The most stylish of all are
the quadrille patterns of blocks, bars OF
dice checks, made of finer twill and more
glossy than the broadly twilled ground.
The American twilled cloths are soft and
pliable, cost only $3.50 yard, and
though not very heavy, they rival the
Scotch and French goods in appearance.
These will be made up in long dolmans
, of very simple shape, trimmed very
simply with galloon and fringe. 1t will
he the fashion merely to border such
garments instead of destroying their
| snapely outlines by lines ana angles OF
trimming sewed on up and down the back
or across the front and shoulders, as has
lately been the custom. The fringes
used for such wraps must be very thick
and rich, as thin, poor fringe destroys
the effect of the garment. It is always
best to buy fringes of good quality, as
they wear, like lace, without changing
greatly in style. The domestic fringes
are far stronger than those that are i'm
ported. The beauty of the French
fringes is in their design, not in wearing
qualities. When purchasing fringe, the
difference is easily told by breaking one
or two threads of the fringe, when it will
be discovered that the French fringe is
very fragile. Bias brocaded silk bands
will also be used for trimming wraps as a
heading for fringes, for collars, and fol
pockets. .-Baz0r.

A Jewel of a Jeweler.

A Russian prince invited couple of
charming young actress to little after
noon luncheon, and between bright eyes
and champagne found himself over head
and ears in love with. one of them.
They separate as the hour for the even
ing performance draws nigh, and the
prince, still under the influence of the
bright eyes-and champagne-driyes to
the florists and purchases an exquisite
bouquet. This wasn't enough, and he
went to the jewelers. and asked for some
diamonds they showed him some single
stones, but he cries: "Give me lot
a handful p A basket of brilliants is
produced, and he sprinkles the bouquet
with them abundantly, and drives to the
theater Next morning he goes to the
bank, draws 100000 francs and drives to
the jeweler. "What do owe you for
those diamonds % "Two thousand
francs" "Two thousand francs u
"Yes. I saw that your lordship was
somewhat exhilarated yesterday, and SO

eyes and the champagne, and he said

The Poor Sheen.

The acuteness of the sleeps ear, it is
said, srpasses all things in nature that
| know of. The eve will distinguish
her own lambs bleat among thousand,
all bleating at the same time. Besides
the. distinguishment of voice is perfectly
reciprocal between the eve and lamb,
who, amid the deafening sound, run to
meet one another. There are few things
which have ever amused me more than a
sheep shearing, and then the sport con-
tinues the whole day. We put the flock
into the fold, set out all the lambs to the
hill, and then send the ewes to them as
they are shorn. The moment that a
lamb hears its dams voice it rushes from
the crowd to meet her, but instead of
finding the rough, well clad, comfortable
mamma, which it left an hour or few
hours ago, it meets poor, naked, shiv.
ering-a most deplorable looking crea-
ture. 1t wheels about, and uttering a
loud, tremendous hleat OF perfect de-
spar, flies from the frightful vision.
The mothers voice arrests its flight. II
returns, flies, and returns again, gener,
ally for ten or dozen times, before any
reconciliation is perfected.
