Speculation.

Since the creation, 1t is esUlmatel
that $4,000, 900, 900, 900, 900 have lived
on the earth. This sum divided by
27,S64, 900, the number of square miles,
gives ,31l, ,512 ,0S6 to a square rod, and
5 to a square foot. Suppose a square
rod be divided into ii graves, each
grave would contain LOO persons. But
this is speculation, and of no benefit to
the 1000, 600, 900 people that now exist,
SOC, 600, 900 of whom are invalids, 49,
100000 dying each year. What they
most want are the facts concerning DIR.

his Golden Medical Discovery has been
the standard remedy for the cure of all

While for over quarter of century,
DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy has been
unrivaled as positive cure for catarrh.
The testimony of thousands Of ladies

DOMESTIC.

SWEET APPLES AS Food.-There are
very few people who seem to know
what a healthful, nourishing, appeu-
ztng and satisfying use can be made OF
this fruit, Baked and served with
cream, they make light and most de-
licious dessert. Sliced and used in
puddings of various sorts, they save
other sweetenings, and give grateful
element of freshness TO the dish. And
this suggests that one reason why
baked apples of any kind fall into dis
favor in many families Is because they
are not fresh. A tinfull or two is baked
up "to save time" and they come upon
the table more and more dead and di-
lapidatcd, shrunken and slippery, until
the very sight of them discourages and
sickens the family. A baked apple
over one day old is pas. its prime; and
an apple, like an egg, that "has seen
better days" we don't want to exercise
our charity on! But it Is III putting
the finishing touch on bowl of bread
and milk that baked sweet apples find
their highest mission. Given milk that
is pure and fresh bread that is both
foreordained and perfected in grace Tor
such use, which means homemade,
milk-rising bread, little stale, but
light, moist and sweet and Il plate of
apples Just done through, and only long
enough out of the oven to have lost
their heat without getting really cold
and you have lunch fit for king;
too good, indeed, for the most of the
men who are IN ''the king business"
This dish has the three elements of
hutriment found in bread, milk and
fruit; and if there is anything better
than this combination the fact hasn't
leaked out, either through science or
experience, One meal u day Of bread
and sweet apples, for children and peo-
pie of sedentary habits, would be better
than the food which costs much more
in time and money, that many of them
now indulge in. A pinch of salt or u
spoonful of lime water will prevent the
unpleasant effect which milk has on
some stomachs. No keen appetite is
required to give relish TO such lunch,
and no digestion that is good for any
thing las any trouble with it after il is
eaten.
