A Weak Member in Every Family.

The Astors have always been
marked by good sense, but there
has been a weak one in every gen.
Grafton. Old John Jacobs oldest
son, who bore his name, became
idiotic in early manhood and was
kept through life in private asy-
luln. He died twenty years ago at
an advanced age and was buried in
the Astor vault. William B. left
an imbecile son, who is boarded
privately near the family farm at
Rhinebeck, and now William AS
tors son, the present John Jacob,
is of such feeble intellect that it il
a matter of common remark.

harder to bear, and the slavery of
dependence upon an unwilling and
grudging master is far more bitter
and unendurable. 1t is, after all, a
good deal like gambling. You stake
your dollar, and you may win five,
or you may lose all. Probably the
wisest plan, certainly the most OBJ
vious advice is: Don't put up your
dollar Mrs. Frank Leslie, widow.

APPLES As MEDICINE.
Uses to Which This King Of Fruits
Can Be Put.

| Chemically, says the Hospital
the apple is composed of vegetabl
fibre, albumen, sugar, gum, chloro
phyll, mallic acid, gallic acid, lime
and much water. Furthermore, tn
German analysts say that the apple
contains larger percentage o.
phosphorus than any other fruit OF
vegetable. This phosphorus is ad
mirably adapted for renewing the
essential nervous matter, lethicin
of the brain and spinal cord.
tits, perhaps, for the same reason,
rudely understood, that old Scan.
dinavian traditions represent the
apples as the food of the gods who,
when they felt themselves growing
feeble and infrm, resorted to this
fruit for renewing their powers Of
mind and body. Also, the acids OF
the apple are of signal use for men
Of sedentary habits whose livers are
sluggish in action-these acids
serving to eliminate from the body
noxious matters which, if retained,
would make the brain heavy and
dull, or bring about jaundice or skin
eruptions and other allied troubles.
Some such an experience must have
led to our custom of taking apple
sauce with roast pork, rich goose
and like dishes. The mallic acid of
ripe apples, either raw or cooked,
will neutralize any excess of chalky
matter engendered by eating too
much meat.
1t is also the fact that such fresh
fruits as the apple, the pear and the
plum, when taken ripe and without
sugar, diminish acidity in the stom-
ach rather than provoke it. Their
vegetable salts and juices are con-
verted into alkaline carbonates,
which tend to counteract acidity.
A good ripe raw apple is one of the
easiest of vegetable substances for
the stomach to deal with, the whole
process of it's digestion being COM
pleted in eighty-tive minutes.
Gerard found that the "pulp of
roasted apples mixed in wine
quart of faire water, and laboured
together until it becomes apple
and ale-which we call lambswool
newer faileth in certain diseases
of the raines, which myself have
often proved and gained thereby
both crownes and credit. The par
ing of an apple cut somewhat thick
and the inside whereof is laid to hot
burning or running eyes at night,
when the party goes to bed, and is
led or bound to the same, doth
help the trouble very speedily and
to expectation-an excel
ent secret" A poultice made of
'otten apples is Of very common
lse in Lincolnshire for the cure of
weak or rheumatic eyes. Likewise
n the Hotel des Invaides, at Paris,
IN apple poultice is used commonly |
or intlamed eyes, the apple being
'oasted and its pulp applied over

loctor then will beg his bread"

IT is said that man in Wood
hull, N. Y, has secured a patent on
making hemlock trees yield bark
perpetually. Ordinarily, stripping
the bark from tree kills it; but
this Woodhnll inventor applies .
solution to the tree, after peeling,
that excludes the air, and the result
is new crop of bark the next year.
If he has obtained a patent for bis
alleged invention, he must have sat
isfed the Patent Office that he re-
ally can do what he claims.

as to the effect of tight lacing. Fe-
male moneys were used. They were
put into plaster of Paris jacket to

the monkeys died very quickly,
and all showed serious injuries re-

A New Prohibitive Sign Swells Che Hack
neyed List in New York.
Placards bearing the words, "Cigarette
smoking is forbidden in this Office" have
become quite common in the banking and
brokerage houses downtown, SAYS the New
York Times. This prohibitory crusade
against the cigarette is said to have been
started by Mr.. s. Pierpont Morgan,
whose hatred OF ''paper cigars"
is intense. As the story goes. Mr..
Morgan stepped into a bank inc Wall
street one morning to talk about some Sc
curities that his firm had been asked to
handle. As he stood talking with the affable
cashier the thin smoke and fumes from q
cigarette attracted his attention and, look
inng over the railing, he saw one of the
subordinate attaches of the hank putting
away serenelv.
Pretty soon the fumes became annoying
to Mr.. Morgan and W tn an impatient gest-
ure he exclaimed: "Why don't you put'a
stop to that sort of thing? I won't do busi-
ness where they smoke cigarettes.
bank, and it required a good deal of tact
and persuasion on the part of the bank Off
GERS subsequently to get him to renew nego-
tiations. Very soon afterward notice that
cigarette smoking was forbidden was put up
in that bank, and so popular has the placard
become among employers that vendors find
it worth their while to go about peddling
them at 10 and Is cents each.

ALL HELD FOR COURT,

A Justice of the Peace and His Constable
Get Into Trouble Charged With Ex-
tortion-One of the Witnesses Against
Them Also Bound Over.
Justice OF the Peace W. P. Wyke and
Constable J. R. Campbell, both of Brushton
borough, were given a hearing before Mag
istrate Hyndman, yesterday afternoon, on a
charge of extortion.
The information was made by Mrs. Emma
Kane. She stated that some time ago her
husband, Michael Kane, being out of work,
LETT home to look for employment. She had
no money, and the three horses they owned
were turned loose on the streets to get what
fodder they could find.
The Humane Society was notified of the
occurrence, and Agent Bergman lodged an
information before Squire Wyke charging
Kane with cruelty to animals. Kane was
fined $40 and costs, but at the request OF
Agent O'Brien the fine was remitted on ac-
count of the poor circumstances of the FAM
lily, Kane agreeing to pay the costs. Kane,
however, let the matter go from week to
week, and was finally arrested for the costs.
His friends then paid the costs, amounting
to SO. A transcript was obtained, and, it
was allege1. it showed that overcharges had
been made. The in ormations were then
made.
After hearing the ease, Magistrate Hynd-
man held Wyke and Campbell in 1000
bail for court.
Kane was also given hearing yesterday,
before Squire Wyke, on another charge of
cruelty to animals. It was alleged by
Humane Agent O'Brien that Kane had al
lowed one of his horses to die from neglect.
Kane was held for court.
