Profitable Investments.

LILO SAFEST and most prohtable invest
ment that can anywhere be found at
this time for money, the use of which is
not needed for few years, is in the
purchase Of we'll selected real estate.
This general fact probably no intelligent
man would dispute, though some men
deny the application to particular cases
when 1t does not suit their interests. 1t
Is well recognized that real estate falls
faster, as rule, and further when times
are good, than any other kind Of prop
erty OF real and solid value. The in
trinsic value changes on', with the
growth OF community or State, or the
improvement of means Of communication;
80 that for production or use in residence
or in commerce the value may increase
rapidly and greatly, but can decrease
slowly and moderately. But the price,
on the contrary, depends upon market
that is more variable than almost any
other. At times real estate is wholly
unsaleable, no matter what its real
value or its price may be. At other
times it is the object of the widest
speculation, with a very little reference
to the present Legitimate demand As n
consequence when real estate is not
wanted, IL sells for song or not at all;
but when it is wanted, there is scarcely
any limit to its price. Hence, long
headed men are always on tie alert tu
get possession OF real estate after VERY
period of great depression: TO such
shrewd purchases the whole or great part
OF almost every colossal fortune may be
traced. We are Just emerging f,on n
period OF unexampled prostration. The
price of real estate has fallen, as it
usually does at such times, in greater
ratio than that of almost any other class
Of fproperty of Substantial character. Now,
if ever, the purchase Of real estate may
be considered certain 20 yield cxcep.
tionally large profits, if the property is
judiciousiy selected.
Another fact. which, as a general onC
no intelligent man will deny, is that th,
advance in the price, as rule, is certain
to be greater in Western than III Eastern
real estate. Western States aud cities
are growing rapidly; Eastern slowly
Every man knows the fact, and immense
volumes of statistics could he given tC
prove or illustrate it; and yet there are
some men who refuse to admit the
obvious consequence. New York City is
growing in population ut the rate OF
seven per cent. in five years, and the
State at the rate of ~ per cent, while
Chicago or st. Louis gains 80 or 80 pei
cent, and Kansas 100 per cent, and YET
some persons refuse to see that the
value Of property in the Western city o,
State is certain to increase in the long
run, and, as rule, more rapidly thai
the Eastern. New railroads and create
reduction in the rates of freight are con
stantly adding enormously to the valu,
Of Western property, and as yet so poten
are interested motives in binding men
that there are some who still insist tha
real estate loans in Western cities ant
States, as rule, are less safe than loan
on Eastern property, where multiplication
of roads is slow, and tends mainly t,
divert residents and industries iron
cities that are already over-crowded.- -

Fruit Juices.

There is often q decided objection to
the use of our coarsest fruits, especially
in sickness, or when tho stomach or
bowels may be In a sensitive state, on
account of the irritation Of the angular
and sharp seeds, and peel or skin. Like
the hull of the wheaton hulls, rs
there are five different layers, which
should be removed, in most IL not all
cases, from the flour-these seeds and
rinds are often sources of irritation to
the sensitive coats Of the stomach, caus-
ing many forms of disease, particularly
in the hot weather. 1t is exceedingly
fortunate that these juices do not re-
quire digestion like the solids, but, like
water, enter the system unchanged,
there TO he assimilated, of course afford
ing nutrition, with no use of the digest
i've apparatus, or but slight effort, that
of absorption. Qf desirable, these
juices may be prepared at this season,
thoroughly scalded, canned like fruit,
kept from the air and in cool place,
and used in the following spring, when
such are exceedingly valuable, especially
for those having debilitated Digestion
1t is very plain that if they demand
no digestion, still containing all of tho
nourishment of the berry, securing rest
for the stomach, the dyspcptic, ETC.,
may well use this juice as substitute
for solids, for such part of the time
as will allow rest, time for the digestive
organs to recuperate and become sufli-
ciently strong TO perform their usual
amount of labor.
will here remark that their use all
the time, instead Of at the last meal, or
when the appetite may be particularly
imperfect, ,twould tend to doblitate the
stomach, since, like all unused organs,
the time would come when it would lose
the power of action. As n general
principle, the substitution of these for
solids for one or two meals ut most,
using the simplest form of solids, as the
raw egg, or boiled rice, would be as
much as would be advisable, save in
extreme cases, when such nourlshment
for week or less would be n choice OF
evils.
Milk should not be regarded as of this
class, since it is solidiiicd before diges-
ton. It is not a proper drink between
meals, since il requires digestion like
solids. When there is much feverish-
ness, with some appetite, the more acid
juices, like that of the strawberry or the
currant, may prove of great value with
out sugar, for that is "heater." These
tend to reduce feverishncss, though, If
too acid, they may irritate the stomach,
producing the canker.
The fresh juice of the apple-not fer
mented juice, or cider-is very appro-
pirate and useful, the apple containing
more nourishment than the potato
These juices may be used with great
propriety when the appetite seems wan
ing, or when but little food is indicated
! for nourishment is obtained without
labor. Golden Rule.

The caplin is small fish, of the sal
mon species, about the size of the smelt,
and very like it in appearance. II never
varies more than two or three days in
the time of its coming TO the Newfound-
land shores, where. late in June, it sud-
denly throngs all the bays in prodigious
numbers. A single boy with o small
dip net can catch several tons day,
and few men can readily secure n
schooner load. The waves dash the
caplin on the shores in great numbers,
and the residents often cart them away
for manure. Although delicious fish,
much like the trout in favog, the caplin
is rarely eaten. Indeed for a fishing
people, these islands are amazingly
backward in the use OF their food fish.
Few of them even know how to cook
the cod so as to be eatable; they rarely
eat the trout with which their inland
waters are filed; and though they raise
the best potatoes in the world, they
seem profoundly ignorant OF that deli
cious product of Yankee-land, the cod
fish-ball. After the caplin go away, in
July, the squid come in, and after them
the herring, so that Providence has pro-
vided triple series of cod bats, with
out any one of which a third of the sea-
son would be lost. --NeWtoundld',d Cor.

A Ncapor, Romance.

The Jewish cemetery lies not far from
the synagogue in the sweep made by
Kay street where it joins Touro, In
this quiet SPOT twelve Jewish families
lie buried, and rs we stood beneath the
trees that spread protecting arms over
the graves. Longiellow's poem, written
after n visit to this cemetery, came most
vividly to mind. One verse especially,
as we looked at the neatly kept llower-
bed, the turf SO soft and well cared for,
the buds that bloomed above the dead,
came to our lips;
"Gone are the living, but the dead remain
