HOW TO EAT FRUITS.
Precautions to Be Observed by Adults ana
 Children.

Children.
 Fruit may be taken with a meal or on an empty stomach. In the former case it promotes digestion by its gently irri- tating effect on the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines. If an aperlent effect be desired it had better be taken in the morning before break fast or between meals. A succulent and pleasantly acid variety is best for both these purposes, while it is also a food The quantity of fruit which should be taken depends on the kind. If it belong to the bland nutritious class, healthy person may now and then partake of it as freely as any other wholesome food. But he will gain most benefit if he take only little, and take it regularly. The same may be said of the invalid with whom fruit agrees.
 Cooking removes much of the acidity from crude fruit, and renders it tighten as well as more palatable, So treated, it is productive of good and no harm. But it is fundamental principle that whatever fruit is eaten uncooked must be fully ripe and not Over-ripe. This may sound trite, and. indeed, the prin- ciple is commonly admitted; but not, il would seem, by all, for we still find peo- pie, and not few, who will themselves deliberately take, and worse. will give to ther children green gooseberries, green apples, etc., the very harshness ot which, apart from their acid pungency, suggest the unttness for digestion. Such people use as food an acid, irritant poison, whose necessary ac- ton is to cause excessive intes. tinal secretion, with more or less of in flammation. Hence arises diarrhea. On the other hand, fruit which is over ripe, in wh oh fermentation has begun, is a frequent cause of this disorder and equally to be avoided, and perhaps also more difficult to avoid because the in. sidious beginning of decay is not easily recognized.
 It should never be forgotten by any who incline to follow the season in their feeding, that the want of such precau. tions as the above may produce that dysenteric form of diarrhea, British cholera" which is occas; onally as rap. idly fatal as the more dreaded As,atit type of that disease.

Living Within Ones Income.

The close observer can not fail to no7 tice that the habits of our people are un. dergoing a decided change. We are nc longer free-handed and careless, as o yore. We have known the b tterness O poverty, and we have known that econ omy is the surest means by which tC grasp the power that belongs to wealth This tendency is illustrated on the grand scale, in the case of our banks, which have in recent years pursued the policy of annually laying aside a portion oi their profits. The result of this policy is seen in the condition of one of those institutions which has a reserve consid- erably larger than it's capital.

1 The Many Different Ways in Which They
 May Be Made.
 Those of scrim or congress canvas are very pretty. They can be made of any size to suit the taste of the wearer. Put broad hem all around the four sides. Draw threads across the bot tom, one space or several. If one broad space IS made fill it in with mar row ribbons woven in and out in a sort of basket work. If several narrow spaces are preferred, use ribbon to run in the width of the spaces. Should the striped scrim be used, it can be trimmed in various pretty ways. Ribbons can be run in the open work part of the stripe, and then along each side, crazy stitches may be put in with bright hued silks. The ribbon to tie it with is drawn through the hem at the top. Pongee aprons are made which are much liked. A very tasteful one has broad hem all around, and cluster of tucks above the hem across the bot tom. In the lower corners, above the hem, etch some design of flowers On scarlet or cardinal, which colors WdSH NC OIdW the hem at the top to tie it with. This can be taken out before it is sent to the laundry. Another most convenient apron is made of pongee to be worn by one who is sewing or knitting Get a yard of material, make hem an inch and half wide upon the four sides. Turn it down across the bottom in the opposite way from the sides and top. Then turn the bottom up quarter of a yard, stitch the sides tight, and then put the three rows of stitching perpen- dicularly at equal distances from each other and from the edges. These will divide it into compartments into which can be dropped thread, scissors, etc., when working. A little design etched upon the center of each of these will add much to the beauty of the apron. Linen can be made up in the same way A finish of torchon lace across the top of the turned up piece, when linen is used, is very pretty. Swiss aprons, etched and tied with bright ribbons. are very dainty for home wear. White linen, with a hem all around, and then strips of scarlet or blue stitched above, are very hand some. These strips may be made one wide or one or two narrow ones each side, or number of narrow ones.-M E. Farmer.

But IT is to the largest bedroom up stairs

that Washington died. The arrangements of
the bed hangings and ether furnishings of the
room are as nearly as possible just as they

deathbed on the night of Dec. IA 1900. He
died Of acute laryngitis, assisted it is claimed

Cure For Pies,

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense
Of weight in the back, loins and lower part
Ct the abdomen, causing the patient to
suppose he has some affection of the kid
neys or neighboring organs. AT times,
IS nptoms of indigestion are present, as
iatulency, uneasiness of the stomach, etc.
A moisture, like Precipitation, producing a
disagreeable itching, after getting warm is
q common attendant. Blind, bleeding
and itching Piles yield at once to the ap-
plication Of Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which
acts directly upon the parts affected,
absorbing the tumors, a~llaying the intense
itching, and effecting a permanent cure.

A pleasant example is the one in the i~llustra-
ton. A striking looking house it is, with its
brick walls and Roman tower. III one might
venture a criticism, it would be that the
tower would have been much more effective
il It had been carried a story higher, and the
gaunt, factory like chimney beside it been
put inside instead of outside. Still it is pic
turesque as it is with its hint of Rhine castles
and dungeon keeps.
A unique feature and the most attractive
of all is the round dining room ON the ground
floor Of the tower. Ii suggests n great round
table in the center, like King Arthur's, and
romance aud legend without end! The win
dows in this tower dining room command
views from three points of the compass.

4 FLOOR PLAN.

The outside of the house is cut up into patch
work by the Introduction of different patterns
of weather boarding and paint. This Is all
the fashion, but it cannot be said to be really
ornamental. When the fashion goes by, the
patchwork woodwork will not seem a thing
of beauty.
Also there is no closet room in The dining
room. This, too, may be the fashion, but it
is not convenient. There never will be any
thing prettier than the fine porcelain and
glassware which one caught glimpses of In
old-time china closets in the dining room.
Every American must rejoice at the i'm
proved architecture for homes, which the new
time is bringing us. The possibilities OF orna-
mentation in tiling and brick work from our
many-colored American clays are only Begin
ming to be understood. We have brown. red
md yellow and pale cream brick in exquisite
tints, oil from the naturally colored clays.
Pale cream walls, with red facings and trim.

full and arsistic home. So would brown and

III PARLoR AZ VERNON.
In this state parlor, so called, is a beautiful
mantel of yariegated Sienna marble. On its
panels are ~sculptured artistically in bas re
lief subjects of husbandry and agriculture.
1t is about the only thing left in the room
which Washington once owned. The furni-
ture of the house was unfortunately sold by
the heirs after the death of Martha Wash
ington, Ind but little has been returned,
though efforts are being made constantly to
secure what is at present scattered as relics
in all directions. Much of the furniture are
careful reproductions of the original pieces.
On the first floor are six rooms used as a
museum for curiosities of a century ago.
Back of the house carved colonnades lead to
the family and state kitchens. To the rear Of
these are the servants quarters, consisting Of
small brick houses, and also a brick barn.

Another one of these suburban homes is
shown in the wooden cottage given herewith.
In the new aesthetics, any house built of wood
in u fantastic shape is a cottage.
This house contains seven large rooms on
the first and second floors. The third story
rooms are pleasant and commodious. The
total cost OF the house is S4,560. This includes
the building of a cistern where it is called for.
The cellar walls are of solid stone all the way
up, and its floor is thoroughly cemented.
The first floor varies q little from the old

Above the dining room, upon the second
floor, is a beautiful round tower bedroom.
On the second floor there are four rooms and
q hall, while the attic furnishes still further
accommodations. For n handsome house,
built of superior material, tho cost of this
mansion is not so great, being $500. Black
mortar is used in The walls. By way of ring
ing changes within the narrow limits Of
kitchen, dining room and parlor, this de-
signer has done well.
The original building in New Jersey has
brown brick walls notified through and
through with tlecks of black. The clay used
in making them contained an overplus of
iron in streaks, When they came out of the

maker, and threw them aside as Useless. But
an architect, with an eye to effects in color,
