The Rural Ne10 Yorker says: We were
struck recently by the remarks of a doc
tor friend Of ours, who said no one thing
will do so much to make people indepen-
dent of the medicSlprotession as the daily
free use of fruit. He had noticed that
those farmers in whose families fruit was
largely and regularly consumed seldom
needed his services. We thought what a
pity that every farmer could not be con-
WINGED Of these truths. 1t is deplorable
fact that farmers families do not enjoy
that robust health which country air and
outdoor life, with plenty of exercise
should give. 1t is also a fact that living
on farms whose rich acres are aching to
produce abundant crops OF the varied
fruits, but very few have plenty, and
many never have any fruit, except it may
be an occasional apple. The standard food
IN majority of farmers houses consists
largely Of bread, butter and meat (most-
ly pork fried ia grease, and where pastry
or cake is used it has lard in large proper
ton in its composition; and this food is
eaten at least twice and in many tami-
lies. three times day, year in and year
out. Is it any wonder that they are not
more healthy, and that their prevailing
diseases are such as indicate an over-oOn-
sumption of greasy food? II fruits were
expensive or difficult to raise, there
would be some excuse; but there is no
part of the country without plenty of va
rieties adapted to it's soil and climate, and
just such as are fitted by nature to both
nourish and cleanse the body and no more
skill is required TO grow them than to

UPRIGHT IN A RUBBER BALL.
Another Man TO Jump from the Bridge
IL He Can.

The Brooklyn bridge guards have re-
ceived orders TO watch the movements of
another jumping crank, who cOntem-
plates using the bridge for the purpose of
distinguishing OF eXtnguishing himself.
Tue suspicious movements yesterday
afternoon of two men on the foot bridge
attracted the attention OF the guards, who
Swallowed HIM as they moved from one
position to another.
Getting a friendly tip from a policeman
a reporter followed them OF the bridge
and discovered that one Of them was Ed
Mcdonald, the lightweight slugger, and
that his companion, a hT. Mcnamara,
was the inventor OF a new liie-saving ap-
paratus, which he claims will enable the
WeaTer TO make a jump In safety from the
highest building in New York.
My friend Mr.. Mcnamara said Nc
Donald, ''has offered me $500 If l will
make a public test Of his invention by
jumping from the top of the new Potter
building at Beekman street and Park

rather try it on water than land, and we
have compromised on the Brooklyn

That a sponge may be cleansed by lot

All ounce of any liquid is two tablespoon

That common letter envelopes, If cut
carefully across one epd instead Of being
torn from their enclosures, often make
convenient paper bags.
That the gummed laps of circular en-
velCpes, which come through the mails
unseGled, are worth saving. Once form
the habit of saving them, and many uses
will be found for them.
That glass may be cut with any hard
tool, like a chisel, for instance, if kept
constantly wet with camphOr dissolved
in spirits of turpentine.
That lemon juice will whiten frosting,
cranberry or strawberry juice will color
it pink, and the grated rind of an orange
strained through cloth viii color it vel
low.
That vegetables which lose some of
their color in being boiled may have that
color restored by plugging them for an in
slant in cold water, Immediately after re-
moving from the boiling water.
That, in cleaning paint, spots which
will not yield to rubbing, or to soap even
the spots which look like small gashes
cut through paint-may be removed by
rubbing lightly with damp cloth dipped
in soda.
That one of the best and most conYen-

of a cupboard dOOF-tO be constructed 80
that there will be separate compartment
for each knife or fork. The flannel Is sure

affair is ornamental. White canton fan

That, in case OF a burn or scald, the es-
seutial thing is to exclude the air from
the injured member as quickly and as
completely as possible. That this may
be accomplished by immersing the injured
part in waller, not too cold, and then, as
quickly as may be, cover with flour TO the
depth of an inch, if possible, withdrawing
the burned part from the water only as
fast as the flour can be applied, thus pre-
venting pain. Caution: Never apply cot
ton, wool, or cotton batting TO a burn, and
do not use soda on d burn unless the skin
remains whole.
That silver spoons that have become
discolOred In contact with cooked eggs
may be easily brightoned by rubbing with
common salt. That lump OF gum cam

Changing the Conditions of Soils.
The hard, crusty surface of the soil, at
ter warm day succeeds shower, is due
10 improper drainage. The ground may
apparently drain on the surplus water
easily, but that which goes down into thu
soil must end an outlet below. If the
subsoil is Of stiff clay, or imperyious, the
upper soil will be slow in absorbing heat
while the crust that quickly forms over
The surface not only prevents evaporation
but also acts as a barrier to the entrance
OF the air, which is necessary to the
health and vigor Of the growing plants.
Baking of the soil may be remedied by
thorough drainage and the application Of
lime. Many farmers who have drained
their lands by the use OF drain-tile lind.
however, that the soil, though more easily
worked and cultivated, does not become
perfectly free from the formation OF
crusty surface. This is due TO the com.
pactness Of the subsoil, which does not
allow the surplus to flow away as rapidly
as II should. IT may be remedied by first
plowlng the surface soil and following
with subsoil plow, which, with the thor
ough under-drsinage, win soon render the
SOL irlable and easily cultivated.
Drainage, however, while carving OF,
the surface water, also admits the air. By
deep tillage the air is assisted in penetrat-
ing every particle Of the coil, and
changes the elements OF which the soil
Is composed. When lime is used
