NUTR1TIvz VALUE OF FRUIT.

Very many persons overestimate the
value of fruit as food. To tell the plain
truth, they are not much in that way,
and therefore they should be considered
more i'll the light of luxury. You
could not live long on fruit alone. Ev-
cry bad boy knows this. He well re-
members how soon hunger returns after
he has enjoyed the freedom of some
neighbor's orchard unknown to the pro-
prietor. The indulgence fills him, but
it doesn't satisfy him, simply for the
reason that the fruit taken does not con-
tain the requisite food elements for his
organization.
DIR. Fresenius has lately been analYz-
ing various fruits, with view to ascer-
tanning their relative value as food. In
his list he puts cherries, as exhibiting
the lowest relative value, at III; ap-
pies, 1872; grapes, 100; blaekberIies,
196; gooseberries, 227; apricots, 220;
plumbs, 200; strawberries, 161; pears,
3S5, raspberries, 1S3; peaches, $40; and
white dessert apples, 254. According
to this, he says it would take very near.
ly five pounds of pears to yield as much
aIbumen (real food) as is contained in a
single hens egg. Prof Volt, of NIu
mich, says man in ordinary work re-
Quires every twenty-four hours for hi
nutrition as much albumen as is con
tanned in eighteen eggs; SO that, if i
were required to give him the necessary
amount in the form of pears, no les
than seventy-fve pounds of them pei
diem must be eaten.
Notwithstanding these startling dis
closures, and is an authority upon suel
matters, the value of fruits as an articl
OF diet is not to be despised. Not onl.
is 1t most easily digested in itself, bu

and expect to grow fat on them-shoulC

"NETER MIND.

What's the use of always fretting,
At the trials we shall find
Ever strewn along our pathway?
Travel on and ''never mind.''
Travel onward; working, hoping,
Cast no lingering glance behind
At the trials one encountered.
Look ahead, and ''never mind"
What is passed. is past forever;
Let all fretting be resigned;
1t will never help the matter
Do your best and ''never mind
And if those who might befriend you,
Whom the ties of nature bind,
Should refuse to do their duty,
Look to Heaven, and ''never mind" :"
Friendly words are often spoken
When the feelings are unkind;
Take them for their real value,
Pass them by and s'never mind"
Fate may threaten, clouds may lower,
Enemies may be combined;
If your trust in God is steadfast,
He will help you, ''never mind"

A IsAFFLED INTERVIEWER.

Hon. VIM. A. Wheeler never received
any credit for being practical joker.
He hasn't tendency to such sports, but
the way be bulldozed rural newspaper
man is told by the Graphic. When
he was returning from his recent visit to
Governor Hayes at Columbus, the train
stopped at GAINESVILLE for dinner, but he
didn't get out. 1t was soon known at
the depot, however, that he was on the
train. and a crowd went into the car to
see him and shake hands with the next
Vice President. As a number of gen.
tlemen were standing around him, talk
ing, a pop-eyed young fellow pushed
his way through, carrying an open note
book of generous size and pencil in
his hand. It was the 'slocal'' of
GAINESVILLE paper. lie brought the inn
plements Of his profession into position
and opened The attack.
esIIave | the honor of addressing
Hon. William A. Wheeler ?'' he in
quired.
'sThank you, sir" responded Mr..
Wheeler, "yon have; and whom have |
the honor Of addressing ?''
The young mar gave his name.
ssYoa are newspaper man, sup

The young man assented.
'sIIave you been in the business

| ssAbout three years."
'sEver lived anywhere but in Zanes-
vile ?''
| ssNo."
/
| s'Do you like the profession ?7
| The young man said he did and was
about to PROFOUND a question on. his
own part, when Mr.. Wheeler interrupt
ed by asking about GAINESVILLE, its IN
habitants, products, manufactures, coss
| of living, condition OF business, follow
ing up these with other questions rela.
tive to the history of the place and Its
prospects, and he showed a wonderful
interest in the newspaper with which
the young man was connected, its CIEeTa
lation, advertising patronage, and COM
petition. Several times did the young
man attempt to change the subject o.
conversation, but Mr. Wheeler piled
him with questions until the train moved
off, and the local was compelled to leave
the car. Mr.. Wheeler enjoys telling
how he outwitted an interviewer, bnt
the young man had the advantage o
him. Mr.. Wheeler might parry hi'
questions, but he could not curb the
press. The yo7ng man printed the tol
lowing paragraph:

Vice President, passed through Zanes
vile on Thursday. Our reporter hac

be flattered to know the interest taker

terms in which he alluded to this Jour
nal, and hls appreciation of our humble

A correspondent of the Corvallis Ga

and is attested by the intelligent way
in which he takes hold of a practical
subject, after stating the facts to show
how great benefits would be derived by
the people of Benton and adjoining
counties from the building of a railway
from Corvallis to Yaquina Bay, presents
the following detailed estimate of the
cost Of narrow gauge road on that

Earth work, S4,441; ties, $3.50 !;
bridging, 81 600; Iron (suitable), 81 900.

allowance is made for incidental expen-
ses during construction, and to procure
sufficient rolling stock to operate with.
With this amount the road can be put
in complete running order. Then why
not? Let the community answer. We
