The apple is one of tho best Of fruits.
Baked orsstewsd apples will generally
agree with the most delicate stomach,
and are an excellent medicine in many
cases Of sickness. Green or half tribe
apples steWed and sweetened are pleas
ant to the taste, nonrishing, cooling and
laxative, far superior in many cases to
the abo1ninable doses OF salts and oil
usually given in fever and other diseases.
Raw apples and dried apples stewed
are better for constipation than most
liver pills. &. ..s5 ~
Oranges are very acceptable to most
stomachs, having all the advantages Of
the acid alluded to- hut the juice alone
should be taken, rejecting the pulp. 4
The same may be said of lemons,
pomegranates, and all that class.
| Lemonade is the best drink in fevers,
and when thickened with sugaris better
than strip of squills and other nauseous
drugs in many cases Of cough.
Tomatoes act on the liver and bowels,
| and are much more pleasant and safe
| than blue mass and oliver regulators.
| The juice should be used alone, reject
! ing the skins. #...
| The small seeded fruits, such as black
berries, figs, raspberries and strowber-
ries, may be classed among the best
foods and medicines. The. sugar in.
them is nutritious; the acid is cooling
and purifying, and the seeds are lasa-
tive. We would be much the gamers if
we would look more to our gardens and
orchards for our medicines and less to
our drug stores. To cure fever or act

tied quantities, not only without injury,
but with positive benefit. But in using
them the water OF juice should be taken
excluding the pulp; and the melon

Period Of CESSATION Of Farm Animals.
What is the average period of gesta-
ton of farm animals?
Ans.-The period of CESSATION varies
considerably in case of. each class
| If domestic animals, but the mean is
about as follows; mare, BAT days;
ass, - months; cow, 29o days; eve,
l54 days; SOW, 1l5 days; goat,
ll6 days; dog, 60 or 60 days; cat, 50
days; rabbit, 80 days; guinea-pig, 81
days; turkey, 26 to 80 days; guinea-hen,
25 to 26 days; pea-hen, rs to 80
days; ducks, Is to 80 days; geese, 81 OF
80 days; hens, 10 to "a days-or an av-
erage Of 81 days; pigeons, Is to ~ days
canary birds IL to IA days. Cold
weather or an east wind will lengthen
the time day or two more in the case
of birds, while warm weather and an
attentive sitter will shorten it. The
small breeds of all animals require less
time than the large breeds. The period
Of CESSATION of a mare may be extended
or diminished as much as five or six
weeks; while that of COWS has varied
from 220 to 313 days.

The Savoy Cabbage,

The caulifower, the most delicious of
all varieties of the cabbage, is Of too
much uncertainty to be recommended
for the farm garden. But the Savoy
#cabbages, says the American Agriculture.
ist, "are almost as tender as the cauli-
flower, have a distinct favor, and q mar
rowy consistence Of their own, which
some prefer to caulihower. These be-
ing as easily raised as the common cab
bage, arc within thereach Of all, Those
who have cultivated Savoy cabbages
need no advice; to those who
have not. we say, by all means
try the Savoya. The English authors
of works on gardening regard them as
80 different that they class them by
themselves, under Savoys, and not
among the oabbages. When we first
knew them there was but one kind, 'the
Savoy" now that there are dozen or
more Savoys, including early and late
kinds. Perhaps the Improved Amer
lean Savoy will be best for those who
1 try Sayoys for the first time. After
wards they will be glad to test the early
and late kinds. The seeds are to be
sown and the plants treated exactly. as
those OF the ordinary cabbages." .

BERLIN.

Readers Of the TRIBUNE may be
interested in some observations of
the Botanical Garden Of Berlin, one
of the richest and most valuable of
its kind in Europe. Ii is very ex.
tensive and contains some $4,000
plants. trees and shrubs. Itattracts
thousands Of visitors during the sum
mer months. It's grounds are very old
as some Of the trees are three to four
feet thick at the base. The garden
contains plants from the whole
known world. If plants grow in a
very hot climate as Java, Romeo,
or the West Indies, it is brought
here and put in a glass house with
the same temperature day and night
as where it formerly lived. 1t is a
grand garden to study botany; par
adise of flowers for him who loves
Young. fresh nature. Here can be
observed the laws of vegetable
growth of all the world. The veg
citation Of the world is put in a min
ature garden. These laws are very
wonderful in adapting the plant to
its habitat, its environments, climate,
temperature, winds and moisture.
Sunlight gives the plant its color.

Jack Cummings Bad Accident.

Jack Cummings S Bad Accident.
On Monday night, as the trainmen
on the c., St. r., NJ. & 0. road were
doing switching at Hoskins, Jack
Cummings, the baggage man, in en-
deavoring to climb a detached NOV
ing freight car, missed his footing
and was thrown partly under the
wheels, his left leg being caught and
crushed to a jelly from the knee
down. After the occurrence, Engi-
neer Murphy in being called back
by another brakeman, took out his
handkerchief and tied it tightly
above the mangled part of the leg
to check the flow of blood, and then
ran to the depot and telegraphed
DR.. Bear to be at depot here on ar
rival of train. When he returned
to where the accident occurred, he
found that Jack had left with the as
sistance Of his associate brakeman,
who held up the crushed leg while
Jack hoped on one foot to the en-
gine, and where he was found by
Murphy lying on the tender on the
coal. He was removed from this
uncomfortable position, and carried
on Postal Clerk Reeds back to the
baggage car, he jumping on Reeds
back without assistance. Mr.. Muir
ply says he never in all his life saw
man with equal nerve to that dis
played by Cummings, as he at no
time flinched or complained at his
distressing and painful condition.
He was placed upon bed in the
comfortable room of the round
house, where he received the atten,
tion of railroad men for which they
are So noted. The general officers
also telegraphed Agent Gordon to
procure nurses and skillful physic-
ians, and provide for Cummings in
every way for his best welfare, and
to see that he is made comfortable.
