EAT APPLEs.-Apples, in addition
to being delicious fruit, make pleas
ant medicine. A raw, mellow apple is
digested in an hour and half, while
boiled cabbage requires five hours. The
most healthy desert that can be placed
on table is a baked apple. If eaten
frequently at breakfast, with coarse
bread and butter, without meat flesh OF
any kind, it has an admirable effect on
the general system, after removing con-
stipation, correcting acidities, and cool
ing off febrile conditions more etfectu-
ally than the most approved medicines.
IF families could be induced to substi-
tute apples. ripe and sound, for pies
cakes, and sweetmeats, with which theil
children are frequently stuffed. there
would be diminution in the total sun

HIS CANDIDACY FOR THE UNITED STATES
SENATE CONSIDERED FROM A DEMOCRATIC
STANDPOINT.
(From the Mt Vernon Free Prcss.)
Before tie election, the radical papers of
Southern Illinois declared that Logan was
not II candidate for United States senator
Since the election, there is not one of them
that has not come out openly in advocating
his election, from which it is fair to Judge
that they knew him to be candidate all
the time, and only kept the matter back be-
cause of his unpopularity with the masses.
Logan has already commenced to make the
canvass, and the race will grow warm from
this time on between him and Oglesby.
There never was y time since he became
old enough to vote that John A. Logan was
not candidate for some office or other
and the senatorship is the only thing in
sight now. Now and then we run across

his lite, yet he has filled about all that is
worth having. When democrat, he was

been long enough in public life TO obtain
a little more polish than the former, but
when it comes to brains, they are about
equal. Both are renegade democrats who
found it hard work to maintain them
selves as Office hunters in the democratic
party, and went over to the republicans to
get office, and for no other purpose Since
they took up their abode in the radical

LoCkiaw by a Lightning Stroke.

A Kalamazoo paper says: The case
of Benjamin o. Bush, of this place, who
has been expected to die every day for
the past week with the lockjaw, but
who is now believed to be slowly recov-
ing, has been very singular one. Some
time ago he run a rusty nail into his
foot, but the foot was poulticed and
healed over without any apparent re-
suit. Some two weeks ago he was wit
Messing game of base ball between the
Jackson and Kalamazoo clubs, when
the lightning struck tree on the track
and Bush Immediately felt pain be-
tween the shoulders as though knife
had been run into him. He went home
and his symptoms continued to grow
worse in spite of medical assistance, un-
til it proved to be very bad case of
lockjaw. He had to be fed through q
tube for several days, and the cramping
and contortions of the body were fright
full TO behold.

1t wasn't long before they found out
that there was trouble In the camp, and
they lashed the whlte-fish-fllled water
with their tails and swan around In cir
cles, lathering the place with foam. Not
to give the sharks too much lee way,
Mr.. Meadham stepped out among the
thousands of white fish, axe In hand,
and dealt two of the largest sharks each
a powerful blow, which seemed to stun
them little. Then, with large heavy
iron hook in hand, with long rope at
tached reaching to shore, he watched
his chances, and at the right moment
struck the hook into the nearest shark,
and the hook taking a strong hold, the
shark, with ten or dozen sturdy men
at the rope, soon found himself on the
sand.
The operation was repeated until five
of the ugly, thrashing intruders were
making the sand fly on the beach and
swapping their saw teeth in the most
savage fashion. A bean pole inserted
in the mouth of one of them was held
as If in wise, and pieces were bitten in
two.
The three largest sharks were meas
ured with foot rule when lying COM
paratively quiet. The largest one was
eight feet long, the next seven and the
third six feet. The other two were three
or four feet long, but were active and
saucy enough.
AS soon as some of the sharks found
themselves on land they discharged from
their capacious jaws a shower of white
fish. One of the smaller sharks had his
head bitten clean Off in trice when in
serted in the open jaws of the eight
footer.
A number OF years ago the fishing
company sseines brought sixteen sharks
to shore in one season, and the catch
this season is the largest since them
The unusual number of sharks in the
harbor and along the shore this summer
is partially accounted for by the hot
weather and the swarms of white fish
in to feed. 1t might be added that it
behooves the small boy to select his
bathing ground with some show of dis
cretion in view of the shark family
preference this season for the shore.

~ Hetty Wallis.
She had opened the door the least lit
tie bit in the world, to see if there was
any prospect of its clearing up, but the
rush of the wind and rain that swept in
at the crevice compelled her to close it
again almost instantaneously.
1t was little brown house, on the
edge of the lonely Western forest - a
brown house, with sloping caves and a
bay-window, and dooryard full of
roses, whose crimson clusters cleaned
family in the late autumn twilight.
Doctor Wallis lived here - Doctor
Wallis, who had come West, with his
two daughters, scarcely six months ago,
and who was the only physician within
a radius of thirty good miles around
Hetty stood by the fire, one foot on
the fender, her dark, dreamy eyes fixed
on the red glow of the burning logs
Sibyl, the other sister, lay luxuriously
back in cushioned chair, waiting for
the lamps to be lighted before she went
on with the bit of Berlin woodwork in
her lap.
Sibyl Wallis was a rose-cheeked, scar
let-lipped beauty, one of these fair hu-
man flowers which, like the lilies of
Solomon, are destined neither to toll
nor to spin.
Doctor Wallis was poor man, and
kept no servants; but no one ever ex-
pected Sibyl to do any of the rough and
disagreeable offices consequent upon
housekeeping.
Sibyl busted the parlors, kept the vases
full of flowers, washed the tea china,
and did up'' her own pretty laces and
pocket-handerchief; and Hetty, the sec
ond daughter-a brown little elf, with
jetty hair growing low on her forehead,
and colorless olive skin-cheerfully
undertook the prosaic part of life, as if
1T were her natural inheritance.

said Sibyl, serenely. "And of course,
it's just what doctor must expect"
"Hush ~ said Hetty, suddenly turn

back door,
