IS well as antiscorbutic, and therefore
beneficial rather than injurious In these
ailments.
Indeed, the prevalence 0f these dis
orders during the heated term is at,
tributable rather To the tiiiseasonable
dse III nittogenous and cafb6naceous
food, in the shape Of meats, spirits and
malt liquors, than to light diet and
Juicy fruits. In cold weather the car
bonaceous matter is burnt of by act
i've exercise, respiration and the gener-
alton of heat, but in summer the ele-
ment gets retained in the liver, and
gives risesto congestion OF that organ
and its Observation-Disclosures, dysen-
terry and bilious ailments. The COM
parative Immunity from these disorders
enjoyed by the natives of warm climates
who, while abstemious with regard to
liquors and animal food, make liberal
use of a fruit and vegetable diet, exem-
plifss this truth.
Children are the chief sufferers from
the common misapprehensioil on this
subject. Their fondness for fruit is a
natural craving that should not be dis
regarded by parents. Any evil results
from their use of it are due either to its
unripe or decayed condition, or. in
rare cases, to immoderate or untimely
indulgence. 1t is common practice
to eat fruit after meals when the stom-
ach is already supplied with all it can
digest. Of aily tifieasitiess that may
follow, the fruit is ofteil considered the
sole cause. But it is the last straw
that breaks the camefs back, though
the lightest part of his burden.
In this connection we are reminded
of an occurrence within the experience
of an acquaintance. A child of his had
been suffering from diarrhea for a
long time and had become so emaciated
that fears were entertained as to his
recovery. During his Illness he had
constantly craved for fruits of all
kinds, which were persistently denied
him. One evening, on his return home,
the father brought some huckleberries
concealed under his coat, lest the ail-
ing child sh6uld catch glimpse of
them. The berries were accidentally
upset, however, in the presence Of the
little invalid, who rushed to them and
managed to swallow goodly number
before he could be controlled. An inn
mediate Improvement in his health and
speedy recovery were the happy re-
sults.-Rural Neao Yorker.

Signal.Service Report.

The Chief Signal Officer Of the Army, in his
annual report, recommends legislation Tor
more complete organization of the Signal
Service. With duties now as extensive, as Inn
portant and reaching more directly the in

Department, It exists, he says, without laws
providing for the permanent employment and
grades OF its officers, or the promotion OF its
enlisted men. This condition is found TO
