Grapes Should be Eaten.

Farmers well understand, says the Mich-
lgan Horticultural Report, if they keep their
horses on too concentrated diet that their
stomachs get out of order, and they have
to be turned out to grass to give them u
chance to recuperate. The human animal
suffers as much from the violation of ma
lures laws as any other. Our dyspeptic
stomachs are constantly sounding the
alarm from our eating too much fruit and
too little fruit. Our system is constantly
calling for the elements contained in the
outer covering of our fruits, grains and
roots. Twelve thousand dentists are en-
ployed in the United States, hammering
gold into our teeth, mainly because we
live on an unnatural diet-too concen-
trated and refined food
As fruit is largely indicated as a require
ment Of our system, how best shall it be
eaten to fill the demand? ? 1t has been
demonstrated by chemical analysis that a
large part of the bone-making material is
found in the skins of our fruits, grains and
roots. This brings us to the test of good
grape. No grape should be considered
good unless it can be eaten pulp, seeds and
skins, with added relish. At the grape
cures in France the patients are required
to eat the pulp, seeds and skins, to get the
full benefit of the dietetic treatment. At
the inebriate cures, all cases are considered
hopeful where they can be induced to eat
largely of fruit, the fruit overcoming the
desire and destroying the taste for liquor.

The American Desert

Vast areas west of the Tooth meridian
are to-day arid regions. All the region
west OF the Missouri river used to be des-
lgnated as the Great American Desert.
Although covered with heavy coat of
native grasses, the probability is that the
genius OF man will eventually leave COM
paratively small portions irreclaimable.
irrigation has already reclaimed large
tracts, but, to work economically, large
sums OF money must, in many eases, be
capitalized to bring about the best results.
as has already been done in some portions
Of Colorado, and especially in California.
1t is now hoped that the General Gov
ernment will step in to the extent at least
Of demonstrating the feasibility of irriga-
ton. This done, private capital will
eagerly seek this channel of probable
profitable investment. Upon this point.
the Philadelphia Telegraph SAYS:
Making all possible allowances for even
more rapid development of the country in
the future than there has been in the past,
1t IS evident that very many years will
elapse before individual citizens, or even
greater corporations will accomplish any
thing material in this direction without
Government aid. Meanwhile the arid
tracts block the way of advancement. and
it is of importance to the whole nation
that they shall be put in the way of con-
quest at the earliest possible moment; and
allowing that it may be an open question
whether the Government should or not
undertake the work of irrigating them, it
is certainly proper Government function
for the demonstration of the possibility of
irrigation to be nade at the public ex-
pense, and under Government auspices

Ancient birch in II. .d,rondao,.

At last We found it. In rocky dell of
the dense forest, gigantic yellow birch
reared its scaly trunk, limbless to great
height, before it branched and spread into
mass of foliage, vivid green in the noon
sunlight that came through the tree tops.
1t is a noble tree, this birch. Its bark
bears scars and marks and numbers cut
there before the American Republic ex-
listed. 1t fiuttered those leaves of vivid
green as brightly and as merrily when
King George the Third was King as it
does to-day. Yesl long before that this
giant tree had lived its quiet life; before
Braddock had fallen in the ambuscade
near the Monongahela; before Wolfe
scaled the heights of Abraham perhaps
when Cromwell swept the royal army be-
fore him along Marston Moor-this Tree
was breathing the pure Adirondack air
We read the old Inscriptions on the bark
few awkwardly made fgures-and traced
out the lines.- Ve7planck Calvin in N. Y.
