Fruit as Medicine.

Grapes come first, especially black grapes, which are most nutritious, and at the same time purifying to the blood Grape cures are quite the fashion in some parts of the continent, and are said to work miracles at times. Peaches also are most hygienic to the human sys- tenn, as well as being one of the most ex- quisite fruits in nature. Nothing indeed is more palatable, wholesome and medi- cinal than a good ripe peach. Peaches, however, should not be eaten overripe They may be eaten at meals or between meals; they are particularly hygienic when eaten at breakfast. An orange eaten before breakfast will, it is said, cure dyspepsia sooner than anything else. Apples are also very hygienic, es- pecially when baked or stewed. They are excellent in many cases of illness, and are far better than salts, oils and pills. The juice of oranges, as of lemons, is most valuable to make drinks in case of fever. Tomatoes are also excellent remedies in some liver and gastric com plaints, and are certainly more pleasant than medicines. Figs, raspberries, straw berries, entrants and cherries are all cooling and purifying to the system while being nutritious at the same time Once a Week.

them on when they nave done With themT
 We know personally of a poor family who owned not more than two or three books. An agent came around and of fered the mother, at low price, small work on civil government which she earnestly desired to possess for the sake of instructing her growing boys. She had no money, but, much against the wishes of the father, who did not think such things were necessary, she bartered some domestic product for the coveted volume. As she sat down and turned it's pages lovingly, and found there just the information of which she felt herself so urgently in need, in order to be an intel igent instructor for her children, her emotions overcame her and she wept long, influenced by the privation she had undergone and the present joy of possess ing the coveted treasure.
 And that one book proved very great help in the rearing of her sons and daughters to an intelligent manhood and womanhood. This instance is only sin gle one in thousand. There are others who experience thirst for wider knowl- edge, soul hunger that is pitiful, and which many, even though poor in this worlds goods, could easily relieve, if they would. This is a phase of charity in which people who have not money to give can help. There are many highly educated ladies who could not bestow aims, but who might gather together a class of women hungry for intellectual things, and feed them from their rich store acquired by education and travel, or who could visit them and talk with them singly while at their work.-At- lanta Constitution

He Wanted A Joker.

Most men, especially in the newspaper profession, have high enough apprecia- tion of their value and ability. There is 8 Scotchman, however, who is conscious that he does not possess in a marked de- gree all the essentials for perfect jour- nalism. His name is John Saunders and he publishes paper down in the coun- try for the especial edi6cation of colo ny of his own countrymen. He came to the city not long ago and at once went to one of the newspaper offices to see the editor. In broad S1ckch dialect he said:
 "Yen see by ma card thet am, like yoursel, newspaper mon. l ha come to the saty on one special mession. ha noticed in the papers that it ha come to be the fashion to write jokey articles, and wad like to ken if ma hire mon to do thet for mesel."
 The Scotchman was told he could hire some one for that class of work, but that such men came high. A good man, he was told, for that class of work was worth $40 or $50 per week.
 "Oh, dear, dear, so muckle as thet? Well, must ha ane for a the price. Can ye tell whaur I'll be finding sic mon?"
 "Yes, think can find you one" said the city man; "but why don't you write it yourself?"
 "Well, I'll tell ye. Ye see, I can do well enou on items O news or commer- cial articles, but I nun say thet I joke wi difficulty. ."-Chicago Herald.

Whereas the president of the United States has designated the 18th day of November as day of national thanks giving and prayer in the following
 PROCLAMATION.
 "Our highly favored people, mind full of their dependence on the bounty of Divine Providence, should seek d fitting occasion to testify their grati- tude and ascribe praise to him who is the author of their many blessings. Tt behooves them to look back with Thankful hearts over the past year and to bless God for his infinite mercy in vouchsafing to our land enduring peace, to our people freedom from pes tilence and famine, to our husband men abundant harvests, and to them that labor the recompense of their toll.
 Now, therefore, I, Benjamin Harri- son, president of the United States of America, do earnestly recommend Thursday, the 28th day of the present month of November, be set apart as a day of national thanksgiving and prayer, and the people of our country, ceasing from the cares and labors of their working day, shall assemble in their respective places of worship and give thanks to God who has prospered us on our way and made our paths the paths of peace, beseeching Him to bless the day to our present and future good, making it truly one of thanks giving for each reunited home circle and as a nation at large.

Steadfast Love.

Thomas Blackbull fell over head and ears in love wi bonnie Jenny Wilson, the kindest and the bravest lass in a the parish. They were in the habit O walk ing O nights in the plantation by the banks O the Dye-a burn that winds its way through the hills O Lammermoor. One evening, Will Smeaton, a tailor by occupation, was in the plantation and he overheard the following conversa- ton:
 70, Jenny," quo Tam, "I do lo'e ye steadfast, there's nae power on earth could knock your image out O ma heart It is rooted there in storm and sunshine, in wind and in rain"
 "Hout," cried Jenny, "Pm no sac sure O that; the love O man is as changeable as the wind-it is even like the butter fly that fits frae ae flower to the ither. Iwadna believe some men as far as could fling them.
 "Whatt cried Tam, flor goodness sake, Jenny, dinna misdoot me. I'll be ye, Jenny. my ain dear, as lang as there's fur on the back o' rabbit or hair on the back Q horse. ."-Exchange.

Cracking Cuha.

The startling discovery has been made that Cuba is cracking. Numerous fis- sures have suddenly appeared in the earth near Matanzas. Some of them are 800 feet long, twenty-four feet wide and twenty feet deep. These disturbances are no doubt a continuation of those not long ago felt on the south Atlantic coast. Scientists find that the earth's crust thickens from the sea inland, and that therefore the inland pressure Is towards the nearest coast line. The crust there and in the ocean beyond being thinner, is more sensitive to central disturbances than are other portions of the earth's surface. The cracking of the earth in Cuba, therefore, may hs DO more than continuation of that sliding of the inner crust seaward which manifested itself So forcibly at Charleston several years ago.-Boston Budget.

Abundant Opportunities for Doing Deeds
 That EnnobIe the Doer.
 Men and women are coming more and more to recognize that they are not living solely for themselves. Selfishness is bad; sympathy and desire to help others are good. Never before was there so much Charity shown to the sick, the needy, the !friendless. And yet, charity does not end with the bestowal of food, clothing and shelter; it has only done part of it's work. The world is full of neglected children, of discouraged men, of women WhQ are heavy laden with care and sor row, and others whose naturally bright minds are starved and dwarfed. Ma- terial charity might help some of them, but their greatest needs lie often in the direction of sympathy, care, intellectual stimulus and aids to higher life.
 kp invalid may need cheerful corre- spopdent; there is some one in the world who could do her good. There may be neglected girl or boy in the 'neighbQg- hood who is sadly in need of correct moral training; some good woman ought to get that child under her influence. There nay be man whom sickness and reyerses have broken down; some one should seek him out and put him on his feet again. not by gratuitous gift, but by helping him to employment or restor- ing his confidence in himself.
 There may be a gomaR-ah, there are legions of women, who bravely struggle on under poverty, sickness and sorrow, who need sympathy and encouragement and way to earn something with which toimprove the condition of their families. Whq will helpthem? They are all around yoq-you will not pped to look far. Will you let them do your plain sewing, or bake your bread or do your weekly clean ing-something for~hich you uscan pay tRemr Or, if their minds arc starving. AIN F9u gi s 4oE5as oe 3our books

He Remembered Too Late,

 "rve been laying for you for a monthl claim this as my propertyl"
 "Ahl Exactly-I seel" stammered the other, and he surrendered without protest or struggle and bolted for doorway, while the other walked off,
 ''Was it a stolen oneg'' queried man who had witnessed the affair.
 "Well-er-well, suppose picked it up somewhere.n
 He stood looking after the umbrella for a minute or two, a sad expression on his face, and then suddenly uttered great oath and slapped his leg.

In the Caucasus.

Riding out one day, MT. Wardrop passed wine shop where three or four Georgians were making merry. They pressed him at once to join them; he de- clined; but as he returned from his ex- cursion they came out, hat in hand, and presented him with a goblet, which he could not refuse. "When Georgian is merry" he says, "everybody else must share his jollity or he is unhappy" He adds, by way of further illustration: "I have seen squire unnecessarily leave a scene of revelry for a minute or two in order to heap up food in his horse manager, so that the faithful beast might share the universal joy" Wine drink ing, idleness, and what they call munifi- cence have not been salutary, and per haps the Nobles' bank. the literature and the journals may help to modify these excesses of virtue. In any case little more attention is paid to crops. and it seems to be not impossible that, in time, Georgian wine and tobacco may furnish paying exports.-London Spectator.

 Sheriff Creaghe received notice some days since from the United States Deputy Marshal at Ogden, Utah, that he had arrested J. w. McNeil, the notorious horse thief, train rob Der and rustler poet laureate, who operated so extensively and for so long time in this portion of northern Arizona, He was arrested, tried and convicted for train robbery. The citi- zens of this section of Arizona can rest in peace for few years at least until the expiration of his sentence.
 A. H. Pratt and J. s. Reagan started from the Esquidilla mountains with a bunch of beef cattle. On arriving at Fort Apache they were warned by the commanding officer that it was unsafe for them to go any further, on ac- count of the feeling among the Apaches. The above named gentle men thought discretion the better part of valor and returned home with their cattle.
 We understand there are a good many horses missing from this vicin- ity. The Herald gave notice last week that there were three or four rowing bands of horse thieves in this vicinity from New Mexico, and that sharp look out should be maintained until it was definitely ascertained they had left the country.
 Henry Tuning, Esq, shipped two train loads of beef cattle to Kansas City about ten days ago. We think he hit the market about right to ob- tain reasonably fair prices. From what we learn the shipment consisted of lot of as fine steers as ever went off the range to any market.
