The liberal use of the various fruits
as food, says medical writer, is con-
ducive to good health. Fruit is not q
solid and lasting aliment like beef and
bread, as it is COMPOSED largely of water
and contains very little nitrogen. 1t
does not give strength to any great ex-
tent, and cannot be used for very long
time alone. But fruits contain those
acids which 10th refresh and give tone
to the system during the season when it
is most needed, are agreeable to the
palate and valuable in their cooling and
health-giving effects. During warm
weather eat plenty of fruit provided, OF
course, that it is always thoroughly ripe
and as freshly gathered as is possible. (

the tired wife. And after all, what
does it amount to? Don't you feel one
bit discouraged my dear little woman.
Your work is of Just as much import
ance as any mans. Even fit is moth
ing but sweeping and busting, mending
and darning, broiling and baking, over
and over again, it is a business that
would wear cut stout masculine heart.
Let your round of ever-repeating duties
be neglected for a few days, then the
Importance of your work is painfully
visible. Home is what man works for,
and what we all live for, and without
the tiresome duties are faithfully and
pleasantly performed, a truly "sweet
home" is never obtained. The humblest
lot in life may be honored by cheerful
ness and fidelity.
A SCIENTIST says: The bitter almond
is a powerful poison. A single drop of
the essential oil on cats tongue made
dead pussy of a living one in just five
minutes, by experiment. Some delicate
organizations, especially among chill
dren, can bear but little Of this essence,
the Smallest quantity producing an
eruption like nettle rash, if nothing
worse, and yet macaroons are eaten and
given to children to eat with impunity
while confectioners are often nowadays
using, not the bitter almond, but the
essential OIL, for their favoring. There
is a . family connection " between the
bitter and the sweet almond, how close

show that on some persons the sweet nut
on our tables, if eaten, produces an
effect similar to that caused by the bit

If the Great comet which has been
observed in the Southern Hemisphere
should come north It would prove an in
teresting and welcome addition to .our
celestial visitan:s. No great comet has,
however, been expected this year. Hal
ley's is not due till 1911, Donarrs,
which appeared in 1868, will not return
before the thirty,eighth century, and
the great cnmet of 1861, which Sir John
Hershel declared TO be the most brilliant
he had ever seen, not excepting those of
1911 and 1858, will not return before
the year 2200. Ofthe feu comets whose
periods are short, all are small, and
mostof them can only be seen in the
telescope. The Great Comet, therefore
that is reported to be "passing the sun
northwards, will be an entire stranger,
and will doubtless receive from astrvno-
mers aud from the public the attention
due to rare and distinguisked visitors.
