When to Eat Fruit.

The fruit season is upon us, and those
who are fond of small fruits, such rs Der
ries of different kinds, cherries, etc, can
luXuriate upon them. One of our ex-
changes, speaking on the subject OF fruit
eating says; Fruits, to do their best work,
should be taken on an empty stomach, or
simply with bread-never with vegeta-
bles: In the morning before the fast of
the has been broken, they are not only ex-
oeedingly refreshing, but serve as a natu-
raj stimulant to the digestive organs. And
to produce their fullest, richest effect,
they should be ripe, sound, and in every
way should be OF good quality moreover
they, should be eaten raw. What is bet
ter than bunch Of luscious grapes or a
plate OF berries or cherries on summer
morning, the first thing on sitting down
70 breakfast Or a fne ripe apple, rich,
and juicy eaten in the same wayf In our
climate apples should constitute not the
finishing but the beginning Of the meal,
particularly the breakfast for at least four
months OF the year the fruit. raw or
cooked, should make part of the morn
ing or evening meal, Crowded suppers
are eaten during the entire year.

SMAILEN TO BE REELECTED.
A Hot Fight Anticipated over His Case in
the Senate.

The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Hcrdld says: ct seems to he eX-
tremely likely that Mr. b. b. Smalley.
nominated for collector of customs at the
port of Burlington, VT, and who has been
i'm Office for some time, will be rejected by
the Senate. There is no objection to him
personally, as he is man Of uneXception
able character, and he has long been per
sonal friend of Senator Edmunds, who has
taken an active part against nm. Charges
were made against William Wells, the
former collector. and Il special treasury
agent was despatched to investigate them.
The agent was however, recalled, and the
Investigation stopped, us 1t was made to
appear that the charges were not well
founded. The Senate committee on COM
merce requested a copy of the papers in
the case, but the department, acting I'M
der the general instructions of the presi-
dent, declined to furnish them. Had the
papers been sent in and it been
made matter of record that the
charges against Wells were not
proved, the committee would have recon-
mended Mr.. Smalleys confirmation, but
the committee has adopted the view of
Senator Edmunds, who, despite his per-
sonal friendship for Mr.. Smalley and his
concession of the right of the president to
put his own political friends in office,
nOluS tnHt IL IS not just 10 tne uepOseu
collector to have the impression created
that he was removed for cause, when the
charges against him were practically
abandoned. There will be a hot fight in
the Senate over the case when it comes
up, and the interest will be EXCHANGED by
the prominent position of Mr.. Smalley in
the councils OF his party Senator Ed
munds, it is understood, will make
strong appeal to the Republican senators
to stand solidly by him.

NEV RAILnO4DS AND MORE UHEAE

NEW RAILhOADS AND MORE UHEAE
Late reports indicate that wheat sowing has
advanced rapidly within a .ew days in the
spring wheat regions and that there IS pros
pect of largely increased acreage in Dakota,
and generally along the line 0f new railways
which penetrate whcat-groWipg = regions. Mean
willie the pic of wheat is remarkably low, not
only in this market. but all over the world.
There is a grclt surplus from last years crop
remaining in TINS country, while the indications
are that the yield this year III b. large. An
increase in acreage along the lines OF the
Northern Pac &c. the OregOl Short Line. and
the new roads in progress Of construction by
rival companies in the Northwestern States,
may perhaps add to the yield more than enough
to compensate for the reduction in acreage by
the farmers Of Kansas and few of the older
States.
Not many people have quite grasped in its
full significance the fact that more railways
mean more wheat production. The people
along a new line of railwd, through wheat
growing regions take rich land for the first
dmc brought ;ithin the area OF profitable cult
iyatiOn. To them, cSpcciall" for the first few
wears, wheat is The easiest and the most profit
able crop to produce, 1t bridss III certain and
quick returns " heat they can always sell for
money, and hey get in a. ma h wheat as they
can without delay. 1t enables them to pay for
the land, to purchase stock, equipments and
machinery, or 10 make needed improvements
The new farmer does not care whether there Is
too much wheat grown In the country or not.
That Is the b. sincSs Of the .lrmors OF older
States, who can without great loss change from
one crop to another.
Thus the rapid construction Of new railways
in heat-grOwing regions is bad for the
farmers elsewhere. But il tcads TO create new
States on broad and solid f lndatiOns and to
establish With wonderful Ialidity healthy and
industliou. communities. The fact that new
railroads mean a vast addition To the supply of
wheat is not however, generally appreciated,
either by farmers III the older States or by
legislators The railroad men understand the
fact and they know that the construction of
such roads creates with surpri IL z rapidIty the
traffic upon which they must uepend. But the
proiitablencss Of agriculture in all the older
States is greatly affected by the rapid expan
sion of tlat industry into ne regions. Hence
it Is by no mems an unImpOrant fact to the
producers Of all the older States that the rail-
ways of the Northwest are ciecting large loans
and making arrangements to build important
extensions this year.
