Fruit Exchange met in Dover last

sion of plans the general features of

Tie Last Half Century.

Men Of science who live to-day have

fifty years is TO 60 back to the slow pro
cesses Of thought and labor, that in this
rushing time seem inoomparably tedious
and slow. The last half century has wit
messed the greatest American Inventions

press, the sewing machine, the India rubber
industry, the horse shoe machine, IKE sand

gauge lathe, the telephone, the electric mag
net. Strip the world Of these to-day and how

Doctors DiRagreeinK.

The doctors who are in attendance upon
the German Emperor seem still to be in
doubt as to what the disease is from which
he is suffering. DIR. Mackenzie says that he
sis certainly suffering from periohondritis, :"
which, he adds, is dangerous disease, and
'if he also has cancer" that will prove fatal
sooner or later. DR.. Yirchow says that he
is as yet unable to tell what the disease is.
This is fine showing for the medical pro-
fession. After being in attendance, more or
less closely, upon the Emperor for more
than year these doctors are still unable to
tell what is the matter with him.
There is marked unanimity upon one
point among the learned consnltants viz:
'That the Emperor will live unless he dies'
give the doctors a chance.

The Present Dangerous Season.

1t is the most dangerous time of our year.
We are assailed by strong temptations in
the form of warm breezes and occasional
foretastes Of summer heat to change our
thick clothing for that of lighter weight, to
linger for few minutes upon chilly cor
ner, to discuss matters with friend; or to
let furnace lires go out-it is really so worm.
When the frost is coming out of the ground,
it has power of imparting chilliness to feet
that even winters ice did not possess or
perhaps the thick boots and overshps have
been laid aside-spring is really here, you
know.
All such things make these May days
dangerous, and the wo warn our read.

Asthe representive OF the WILNINeToNIAN
walked into the Institute Hall on Thursday
evening at the opening Of the Homeophthaic
Fair. A sight almost bewildering met
his gaze. Such an array Of decoration such
artistic contrasts of color, novelty in design,
uniqueness in construction, exceeded any
simnlar attempt in the city, but IL was
hardly possible to see the beauties of the
different booths on account of the crowd of
visitors composed as they were, of the best
society that could be found, the elite, in fact.
This opening night was such success that
almost all the supplies were exhausted. The
managers have decided to continue it on
Saturday evening. The May Pole Dance
was very attractive feature and drew
crowds as tile time for the dance drew near.
Go to night and contribute your mite to-
ward the enterprise.

Let us Not Fret.

Sometimes my wife and l say on
Sunday Snow let us agree that we
will not say single cross word to any
one this whole week. Let us be stu
diously polite to each other and to the
children. Let us be very mindful of
the feelings of every person with
whom we may come in contact. Let
us not fret nor complain nor do any
thing that good, decent, well behaved
Christians should not do" And if
when the next Sunday comes, we have
through the grace of God, kept this
resolve, it goes without saying that we
have been happy and the world has
perhaps been made a little better for
our being in it.--Zenas Dane in Good

The Best Pet of All,

The best pet of all is the little child
old enough to talk and to understand,
with a child's comprehension. The
child that is pet is always promising
to be better pet, because more ap-
preciative one. Its receptive and re-
tentive mind is greedily gathering ten
thousand facts and then ten thousand
more, and with each added year the
little one not only fills larger place
in your affections, but you are becom-
ing more to the youngster, to be treas
ured in fond regard through all the
years of mature life.
Every month, and week, and day is
step toward manhood or womanhood,
evincing expanding intelligence and
growing affections, and cementing the
bonds of friendship and love between
the little pet and the elder persons
who are nourishing its absorbing mind
and are guiding its otherwise uncer-
tain footsteps in the best path of life
toward the goal of thought, love and
action.--Good Housekeeping.

Hot lamentations.

We all know the value Of hot appli.
cations, but the mode of making and
the applying differ in almost every
house. An exchange gives the fol-
lowing: "Wring several thicknesses
of flannel out of cold water, SO it will
not drip; place between two folds Of
paper, and lay it upon hot register
or top of stove. Steam will generate
and permeate the whole cloth, and
thus the required temperature will be
obtained. In this way there is no run
ming long distances to kitchen, no
burning of the hands, no uncomfor-
table moisture in the bed and no
rufled tempers. A hot fermentation
is beneficial in almost every acute dis
ease accompanied by severe pain, and
is often of great service in chronic in
| Examinations. 1t is more effectual and
more accessible than any other thera-
peutic agent. By quick, prompt and
thorough use severe attacks of Illness
are often prevented. Herald Of

How to Choose Roast Beef.

How to Choose Roast Beef.
If possible buy the meat Of butch
er personally known to be an honest
man. If the meat has reasonable
proportion Of fat upon the back and
running in little lines. through the
lean, and if the color is fresh and not
very darkened, the meat is good; if
the butcher, has kept it properly for a
week or ten days..it may be supposed
to be reasonablyltender. Most butch
ers are willing to keep meat the right
length of time for customers if they
take it at its first weight; it loses a
little weight by keeping. When this
is the intention have some of the bone
trimmed off, and the fat which is not
needed for cooking, and let these
trimmings be sent home with the days
marketing, the bones for the soup pot,
and the fat to be tried out, to use in
the form of drippings.
These small economies are not at
all despicable on the contrary, they
are of considerable consequence in the
aggregate. AT the meat is trimmed

There is more capital seeking investment in
Colorado mines and other property than all

true. By the first of January, 1890, we pre-
dict the population of the entire State OF

Air and Sun Baths.

The all bath is Indispensable to even COM
paratively perfect health; it should be taken
daily standing near an open window-when
the atmosphere is mild or warm-through
which the warm aud health giving lays of
the sun will shine directly upon the nude
body, and followed by, or accompanied with
bIisk rubbing, and steady, full and con-
tinued breathing; and it will be better to
remain in such ''subtle BATH" given by i'm
ponderable elements, fifteen minutes For
insomnia the sun bath is the best known
single remedy. We have witnessed charm
ing results from exposure to the SUMS rays,
and do positively recommend both the sun
apd air bath to feeble persons. 1t is better,
all things considered, for iDvalds, than
daily ablutions. though washing should be
INDUCED in often enough to keep the surface

Hard and Soft Water.

All cooks do not understand the different
effects produced by hard and soft water in
cooking meat and vegetables. Peas and
beans cooked in hard water, containing lime
or gypsum, will not boil tender, because
these substances harden vegetable easeine
Many vegetables, as onions, boil nearly taste
less in soft water because all the flavor is
boiled out. The addition of salt often
checks this, as in ths case of onions, caus-
ing the vegetables to retain the peculiar
favoring principles, besides such nutritious
matter as might be lost in SIT water. For
extracting the juice Of meat to make a
broth or soup, soft water, unsalted and cold
at first, is the best, for it much more readily
penetrat's the tissue; but for boiling where
the juices should be retained, hard water or
soft water saIted is preferable, and the meat
should be put in while the water is boiling,
SO as to seal up the pores at once.
