crisp.
Asparagus should have fresh purple points
and thick. white. tender stalks.
The flowers of caulifowers should be
creamy white and the leaves green and fresh;
If the leaves are wilted, or there are dark
spots on the head, 1t is not good.
Good new potatoes are firm to the touch:
If unripe they will wilt in a few days and are
unfit to eat.
The stalk of the cabbage should be entirely
sound. the leaves fresh and crisp and free
from decay.
Fresh cueumbers are crisp and deep green
or green and white in color, not green and
yellow.
1t is better to wait for corn until 1t can be

gen Grated by friction is only one form Of
electric action, as we shall see further on.
:. wherever there is friction, under all con-

there IS electric action; but when the air Is
damp the electricity seems to be conducted
away almost or quite as fast as it is gener-

as Tor sight seeing out of doors. This is
mentioned so that the student may not be

And in the hospitals the mortality Is much
larger and about one-seventh of all deaths are in
the hospitals.
Compare this reality with that of the diseased
women who enter Murdock's Free Surgical Hos

operations.
The results show with how little risk OF lfe
OF the 1000 operated on last year, representing
80 of the worst classes OF surgery known, only
died; the rest returned home restored to health.
Again, OF the deaths In Boston, AZ of them
were cancers on the breast. We operated on
thirty-fve women, with no deaths, and they re-
manned in the hospital eighteen days on an
average. During the year we operate on more
women than all the hospitals Of Massachusetts,,
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont Rhode Island
Connecticut and New York, and our mortality is
less than any one hospital, showing the value Of
Murdock's Liquid Food aud Suppositories in re
pairing the wastes Of disease and operations.

large number of passenger coaches
drawn by engine SIS. dashed into a
coal train from the mines and an
engine and caboose from Keyser,
W. Va, and the passenger and one

every direction. In the cabOose
were the trainmen, all of whom made
miraculous escapes, having just
jumped from the train as the runa-

and fireman also made narrow
escapes. Switch.tender Beall,
whose box is at the point where the
wreck occurred, said it was the most
terrible moment of his life when he
saw the express coming crowded
with passengers, rushing, as he
thought, to almost certain death.
The crash was terrific and was heard
for a great distance. Immediately

large force of mon at work clearing
the tracks. In the meantime, trains
east and west were run around the
wreck on the West Virginia Central
