FruIts and Yeeetables.

Among scientific men who have made lon
gevity astudy, it is almost unanimously agreed
that q fruit and vegetable diet is conducive to
long life and perfect health. Audit is among
the vegetable kingdom that We find our prin-
cipal means Of restoring health to the invalid,
and strength to the weak. In olden times,
when centenarians were common, and men OF
sixty years Of age were considered youthful,
herb doctors were the only physicians. DR..
Guysott's Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla, with
the exception of one ingredient, and that IL
iron, is strictly vegetable compound, and Is
not injurious to the most delicate invalid. Its
effect on the general system is most wonder
full 1t gives real strength to every part of
the body, and its soothing effect in quieting
the brain and nervous system is most remark
able. Its principal ingredients are Yellow
Dock, Sarsaparilla, Juniper. Iron, Buchu,
Celery and Calisaya bark. Where the disease
Is of an exhaustive nature, 1t quickly checks
all decay. In cases Of dyspepsia It does not
act a. a severe cathartic, but gives real
strength to the digestive organs, and thus
permanently cures this distressful disease.

The Arctic Whaling Fleet.

The twenty or more whale-ships
which came down from the Arctic last
autumn have mostly started again for
the same destination. These vessels
viii not arrive in the Arctic before some
time in May. They fish by the way,
making long stretches out of a direct
course, sometimes getting well over
toward Japan, and sometimes nosing
about the Okhotsk Sea, for any chance
to strike few whales in this latitude.
Besides the feet of sailing ships, there
will be three steamers in the Arctic this
season-yiz. The Belvedere and North
Star, Of New Bedford, and the new
steamer now on the stocks at this port,
which viii be completed inside of the
next two months. The sailing ships are
all old-fashioned, short, oak-built ships,
which have done good service in other
business before they were sent around
to the Arctic. Some of them we're pack
cts fifty years ago. They are still strong,
weatherly ships, and seem to be indie
pendent of all decay. The cold weather
of the Arctic and the saturation of oil
have tendency to preserve ships. Un-
less these old vessels get nipped in the
ice, they may be good for at least quar-
ter of century more of good service.
By that time there will probably
be no use for anything but the screw
steamships in whaling. Even now an
other use of steam in whaling has been
introduced-the steam tender, or small
boat with steam, strong enough to tow
o dead whale long distance and tow
the whaleboats to the fishing grounds.
Steam can not be used in following
whales. on account of the noise. But
1t can be used as an auxiliary in the
ways suggested, and, it is said, with
substantial advantage. A great many
whales are struck and lost. But steam
tender to hitch on and tow thirty or
forty miles is the latest Improvement in
whaling. The old sailing vessels will
wear out in the business. They do not
represent a great deal of capital. Now
and then an old ship worth five or six
thousand dollars, and twice that sum in
the matter of outfit, will come into port
with thousand barrels of oil, and as
much bone as can be stored away. The
interest on capital is small. The profits
are large. That is why these old bluff
towed ships soaked with whale-oil are
80 dear to the hearts of their owners.
The steam whalers, with outfit, cost any
where from $4,000 to $4,000, ac-
cording to size. These must come into
port with large fares, or the venture
would be losing business.-San Fran
cisco Bulletin.

A Renaissance Of Guiteau.

A gentleman now residing in Chicago
yesterday gave to Nescs reporter the
following "reminiscences of Guiteau, the
assassin: 81 was in Minneapolis last
summer, soon after the assassina-
ton, and called on a Mrs. Mary Sam
mis-, widow residing on First street,
who had been member of the Guiteau
family in Sackett's Harbor, q small
town in New York State, ON Lake On
tario. Mary and Guiteau were about of
an age, and both attended the same
school. She told me all about the boys
home-life, his passionate nature, and the
fear in which he was held by the school
children. He was constantly writing
religious essays and preaching, and time
and again declared he could walk on
the water as Christ did. At last Guiteau
appointed time, after school hours,
when he would demonstrate his faith on
the waters of Ontario. All the school
children and many of the grown people
of the town assembled ON the shore, and
Guiteau speedily put in an appearance.
He passed through the crowd without a
word, and stood by the water on small
dock. After waving his hands about
several times and mumbling an unintel-
ligibIe prayer he stepped off the dock
into the water, and, of course, went
down. The crowd hooted and yelled,
and made merry over the failure. 1t
was only by the greatest exertions the
boy-then aged about eighteen years
was saved from drowning. The next
day he explained his failure by saying
that among the crowd were number
of unbelievers, and he could do nothing
in their presence. This incident was
but one Of many similar sensations
Guiteau created in Sackett's Harbor,
and no attention was paid to it until he
earned worldwide notoriety by shooting

That incorrigible and aged scamp,
Charles Langheimer, who has spent
about one-half of his fourscore years of
existence behind prison bars, will short
ly be released from the Eastern Peni-
Tertiary. The old man has attained a
notoriety under the sobriquet of ''Dick-
ems Dutchman," the great novelist
having employed his pen, in his Ameri-
can sketches, to inveigh against the sol
itary confinement system followed in
the penitentiary, and selecting Lang
heimer, who was undergoing four
years. sentence when the romancer Wis
tied the jail, as q special case to Illus
trate the misery of the prisoners. Lang
heimer was first sentenced to the peni-
Tertiary on May Is, 1910, having been
arrested for some thieving operations.
He served his term out and was re-
leased, but was soon sent back again.
His history since that time has been .
series of repetitions. A release from
prison, q short freedom, and an
other long term of imprisonment
made up his life. In March, 1877, he
was caught in the act of stealing silver
watch and was sent back to his old
quarters at Cherry Hill. Soon after his
release in 1879 he again went back to his
old habits, and for the theft Of some
money from the office of Messrs. Adams
& Story, Ninth and Girard avenue, was
taken back to prison. 1t is this last
term which he is now about completing.
During his long confinement Langheim-
er painted the walls Of his cell quite
beautifully, using colors extracted from
the yarn with which he was obliged to
work.
On being released from prison in 1877,
the cid man went to Michigan to work
on farm, but shortly after the inspect
ors of the penitentiary received note
asking that they send him some money
to return and receive him back into the
Jail. No attention was paid to the letter,
but shortly after Langheimer turned up
in the city and found his way into the
house of correction. After his release
he committed crime and was sent back
to his quarters at Cherry Hil.-PhIa-
