Fruits for Food.

Henry Ward Beecher says there is no
sense in the old familiar motto, Fruit
is gold in the morning, silver at noon,
and lead at night" His reasons for
this opinion he thus states:
Because, with a limited experience,
people perceive that some folks can eat
fruit at one time and not at another,
they lay down this rule for all. The
cases where fruit is unhealthy at night
are the exception.
1t is true that in tropical climates,
heavy fruits, difficult to digest, ought
not to be taken at light.
But the fruits that are on our North
ern farms are all healthy, as rule.
Among the excellent small fruit are cur.
rants, gooseberries, raspberries, straw
berries, grapes, mulbcrries-these last
are a very much neglected fruit there
IS no better fruit tree for children than
the Downing's ever bearing mulberry.
One of them will bear fruit for eight
or ten weeks steadily, constantly ripen-
ing, and pleasing ali the fowls and tur-
keys, children and old folks. | would
rather have this mulberry to-day than
strawberry.
The common mulberry is fiat and
sweet; but this has a fine sprighty acid
taste, as finely combined as lemonade.
AS you go up, you Rave the apple,
which is the patriarch, or the Abraham,
of all fruits. If had to choose but one
fruit out of all in the world, l should
decide for the apple.
For uses of every kind, early and late,
winter or summer, cooked or raw, ap-
pie is king. Then comes the cherry,
then the pear, then the plum and the
peach
Ihave not mentioned oranges, because
they are not raisable in the North; but
they ought to be eaten at the right time,
which is all the time from getting up in
the morning till you 60 to bed at night
The man with whom they disagree is
the exception

A Million Dollars Under Water.

Some parties in San Francisco, who
have been working up the matter for
some time past, have discovered the
wreck ofthe steamer Brother Jonathan,
which foundered off Point st. George,
near Crescent City. in July. 1865. She
twenty-five ,fathoms of water, II, about about
fifty fathoms from the submerged rock
on which she is supposed to have struck.
There was about 5 600, 900 in Treasury
notes and bullion in her safe, and the
finders are fitting out an expedition for
the recovery. The treasure belonged to
the government, whose claim is held to
have lapsed on the expiration Of ten
years after the loss.

The cause of languor, when it is not The inn

are peculiarly subject to it. Diminished physi-

accompanied by undue relaxation OF the bowels
and by dyspeptic or bilious symptoms. A relia-

Food in Season.

In India the people feed mostly on
rice and fruits; in Greenland on oil and
seal-hesh The rice and fruit are quick
ly and speedily digested, and thus meet
the wants of those whose nervous ex-
penditure is reduced to n minimum by
the climate, which also furnishes them
with nearly all the heat they need.
On the contrary, the Greenlander's
great need is heat. and this he finds in
the food with which nature abundartly
supplies him. The former keeping up
his old diet in Greenland would speedily
perish of cold; the latter would as GER
tain y perish in India, either consumed
by the internal fires. or breaking down
bv sheer inability to digest his arctic
food.
We of the temperate regions swing
like pendulum between the two. We
are Indians in summer and Greenland
crs in winter. Yet how few observe the
distinction in eating! But our individu-
al intelligence should do for us what
nature and the inherited experience of
ages do for our tropical and arctic
brethren.
In winter we need an abundance of
heat making food-fat, sugar, starch.
Our whole mental and physical system
then works vigorously, and eXpen is it.
self rapidly; and hence we need more
food, and in more concentrated form.
In summer we need but little heat
making food, but. in its place, the cool
ing fruits and vegetables of the season.
The diminished activity, also, of our
menta and bodily systems redu ces ou1
digestive ability fully one-third. Little
flesh is needed and no fat at all. Fish
is preferable to beet. Nothing is better
suited to the season than milk, freely
used, with all the various fruits
