4 COMPARATIVE STUDY Or QUESTION OF

London Standard
The amount OF nourtshment which a person
needs greatly depends On his constitution.
state or health, habits and work. A sadentary
man requires less than one whose duties de-
mand the exercise OF his muscles, and BRAIN
worker needS more than an idler. But unqueS-
tonaD!y the majority OF us take more than we
need. Indeed, 1000 and work are distributed
most unequally. The man OF leisure Is also the
man OF means, and, accordingly, fares stump.
tuousiy every day; while the laborer tolls for
eight hours and finds 1t difficult to get enough
man or a Bengalee will toll under a rronIcal
sun, and find few pice worth Of rice or jowrah
sufl1cient to sustain his strength. A French
man Will not eat half what an Engishman en-
gagged In the same work will demand, and a
Spanish lacorer, content In ordinary times with
a watermelon and bit OF black bread, will toll
onion porridge and grapes. 1t is true that Mr.

6 Success With Small Fruits -

Burlington Hawkeye.
81 just rolled out here from the grocery
STORE" said the little green apple as it
paused on tho sidewalk for q moments
chat with the banana peel "I am waiting
here for . boy. Not . small, weak, deli
cato boy" added the little green apple,
proudly, ''but . great big boy, great
hulky, strong, leather -lunged, noisy fifteen
year older, and little as am you will see
me double mp that boy tonight and make
him vail and howl and yell. oh, I'm
small, but I'm good for . ten-acre field OF
boys and don't you forget it. All the boys
in Burlington, I" the little green apple went
on with just shade of plying contempt
in it's voice, "couldn't fool around me as
any ono Of them fools around . banana"
"Boys seem to be your game, drawled
tho banana peel, lazily; "well, l suppose
they are just about strong enough to afford
Won q little amusement. For my own
part, do like to take somebody Of my
size. Now here comes the kind of a man
I usually do BUSINESS with. He is large
and strong, it is true, but -"
And just then . South Hill merchant,
who weighs about 23l pounds when he
feels right good, came along, and the ba-
mana peel just caught him by the foot,
turned him over, banged him down on a
potato basket fiattening it out until it
looked like splint doormat, and the shock
Jared everything loose in the show-win-
dow, And then while the fallen merchant
from various quarters of the globe, fished
his silk hat from the gutter, his spectacles
from the cellar, his handkerchief from the
tree-box. his cane from the show-windOw
and one of his shoes from the eaves-trOugh,
and little boy ran for the doctor, the lit
tie green apple blusl'ed red and shrank a
little back out of sight covered with awe
and modification.
"Ah," it thought, 81 wonder if can
ever do that :? Alas, how vain [ was, and
yet how poor and weak and useless am in
rhis world.''
But the tanana peel cOmforted it and
bade it look up and take heart, and do we'll
what it had to do, and labor for the good
of the cause in its own useful sphere.
"True," said the banana peel. "you can
not lift up 200 pound man and break
cellar door with him, but you can give
him the cholera morbus, and if you do
your part the world will feel your power,
and the medical colleges will call you
blessed"
And then tho little green apple smiled
and looked up with grateful blushes on its
face. and thanked the banana peel for its
encouraging counsel. And that very night,
an old father, who writes thirteen hours
day, and a patient mother who was almost
ready to sink from WEAKNESS, and nurse
and doctor sat up until nearly morning
with a thirteen-year-old boy, who was all
twisted up into the shape of a figure 3,
while all the neighbors on that block sat
up and listened and pounded their pillows
and tried to sleep and wished that boy
would either die or get we'll.
And the little green apple was pleased,
and its last words were, ''At least have
been of some little use in this great, wide
World ~
