Grapes come frs. 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 humansy
tenn, as we'll 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 arc 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
plants, and are certainly more pleasant
than medicines. Figs, raspberries, straw
berries, eurrants and cherries are all
cooling and purifying to the system,
while being nutritious at the same time.

Jus, as Glad to See an Actor.

years ago to hear Mr.. Beecller preach.

Beecher wa to come Immediately after

chatting as the great preacher came in.
The anne had been given to him in the
hall. As soon as he reached the TIRES
hold of the parlor door he said, "Mr.
Robson!" The actor went over and ex-
tended his hand.

Beecher. Il am glad to see you notwitll-

Turtle and Bear.

\ ma at Coyington, Pa, who was
fattening a twenty pound swapping tur-
tie, was aroused early INC morning by
the noise of a scuffle in his yard. Re
pairing there he found the turtle hang
ing to the nose of a 800 pound bear.
Bruin was near the fence, endeavoring
to get over, but his efforts were inter
fered with by the turtle. Eventually
the bear reached the next yard, but the
man followed and shot him dead. The
turtle all the time retained his hold, and
refused to let go until the dead beasts
rose was cut off. Then it crawled off,
carrying the piece of flesh in its mouth.

Of ronsel,old products.

The connections of the oldest tradi-
tons are afforded first by language and
legends. for the study of which no mu-
seums are required Next to these in
value are material objects, particularly
useful ones, with which are associated
antique designs and mythic-sometimes
superstitious-meanings, and which also
in their forms, decorations and applica-
tons give very definite views of their
age. 1t is the purpose of the projected
museum of costumes and household
goods to collect these objccts-not the
only purpose. for there are many stages
in the historical development OF peoples
which have left their traces in dress and
furnishings. but the principal one a
museum of costumes and household
goods will, therefore, close the gaps be-
tween chronological and prehistoric mu-
seunls on the one side and between eth
biological and historical museums on the
other. 1t will do for our own people
what chronological museums have done
in relation to foreign peoples, partic-
ularly to savages; it will seek out OBJ
iects of the present as historical museums
have recovered them from the tombs
and dwelling places of primitive times,
and will give for the Common life and
conduct Of the peoples what historical
museums have furnished as to their &c
clesiastieal and courtly life.-Rudolph
Virchow in Popular Science Monthly.

TeDnyson.

A poet should never grow old-or he
should not let it be known. There might
be a secret league among the kinsfolk of
poets to prevent the discovery of the
date Of their birth. Aged philosophers
seem in the natural order Of thia3s, but
the man that writes of youth, love and
the fair face of nature, or the passions
which rarely exist beyond middle age,
should never grow old. Lord Tennyson
at so does not seem as if he could be the
poet. Alfred Tennyson. but the fact that
he was born or Aug. 6, 1909, is being
proclaimed by all the papers. The New
York Times says: 'In combined length
and distinction there is in English litera-
ture no contemporary or recent parallel
to Tennyson's career."-Pittsburg Bui-
le.in.

An Ivy Plants Tory sympat,.es.

One who passes by the Old South
church these summer days will see a
curious sight. The English ivy which
has been slowly creeping over the front
of the church through the last decade
now holds in its grasp the old structure
where Benjamin Franklin was baptized
and ''the tea party" was organized. Inch
by inch its tendrils have felt their way
along its walls, until now the growth has
wen dared to attempt to hide from view
the big, broad slab that marks the .'dese-
Grafton by the British. The little vine,
planted by American hands and fed with
American sunlight and rain. has basely
tried to cover up the tablet that marks
the rude acts Of the English soldiery. Il
seems a case where the proper authori-
ties can interfere with much needed JUS
tice On the presumptuous, overreaching
plant.-Boston Advertiser.

Defect in Educational system.

Perhaps the most serious defect OF the
system of liberal education now preya-
lent in the United States is its lack of a
truly progressive character. 1t is full of
fits and starts. 1t is too disjointed and
f~ragmentary. This is partly because
there are no settled principles Of pro-
cedurc, fixing the order and amounts of
the studies; and partly because there is
no power which can secure teachers that
know precisely what they are expected.
fitted and permitted to teach. The con-
sequence is that tie different years Of
school life too mitch resemble the differ
ent successive sessions Of our legisla-
lures. Milton somewhere describes the
process of legislation as 'hatehing a lie
with the heat of jurisdiction" Forum
ately. the process also consists in killing
the brood of lies already Matched by pre-
yious legislation. Now the process Of
education in this country is by no
so bad in this regard as the process of
legislation; but in certain respects the
former too much resembles the latter

In the Cauca-us.

Riding oct one day, Mr. Wardrop
passed a 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 q goblet, which he
could not refuse. when a Georgian is
merry" he says, everybody else must
share his iollity or he is unhappy" He

cence have not been salutary, and per-
haps the MOBILES bank. the literature and
the journals may help to modify these
excuses of virtue. In any a little

seems to be not impossible that, in time,

Cracking Cuba.

The startling discovery has been made
that Cuba is cracking. Numerous fs-
sures have suddenly appeared in the
earth near Matanzas. Some of them are
600 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 be no more than a
continuation of that sliding of the inner
crust seaward which manifested itself
so forcibly at Charleston several years
ago.-Boston Budget.

Goods in Dragons Blood Color.

There is a large line of fall goods of
various grades in dragons blood color.
Silks Of heavy anu light texture are also
made Of it, and will be much worn by
young ladies with tulle trimmings or
overdresses for evening. There are cash
meres and fine ladies' cloths also in that
color. One shade Of the new foulard is
of a pale pinkish lilac called "sti-
fed sighs," and on it are pale pink flow
ers with faint green leaves. 1t is ex-
quisitely soft and pretty, and makes
dainty evening dresses for young girls
and even old ladies, for such delicate
colors can be worn by any one, if the
style Of making be not too juvenile.
Nothing looks so utterly ridiculous as to
see an elderly woman wearing young
girls styles.-Olive Harper.

They tell some good stories about Justice of

which come into his court for adjudication.
1t is said that when a case was on trial there
recently, in which it was alleged by both
plaintiff and defendant that acertain witness
had been tempered with, he instructed tho
jury as follows.
'.It you find that the plaintiff has been
monkeying with the witness you will return
a verdict for the defendant, but if you think
it was the defendant monkeyed with this
witness you will find for the plaintiff"

appear at the time set for trial, and the de-

his favor, he exclaimed:
