Fruits PrematureIr PIueked.

"At present the trouble is to get
things to eat, said a prominent caterer
Of years gone by. 'Fruits and vegeta-
bles, especially the earlier varieties, are
brought from a great distance, and in
order to carry well are picked green.
Ripened artiicially off the trees, vines
and plants, they not only lack flavor, but
are positively unwholesome. Take the
first tomatoes, for instance. You look
IN vain for a ripe one, and the taste is
frightfully unnatural and unsatisfactory.
1t is the same with peaches, pears, apri.
cots, plums and smaller fruit. So far as
meat is concerned, beeves are driven for
miles and miles, and when killed many
Of them are bruised, thin and diseased.
When they are brought in cattle cars
they are crowded together 50 closely that
they cannot move without trampling on
each other, and suffer terribly from lack
of water and food. Sheep and swine are
in the same category. Under such con-
ditions it is no wonder that much objec-
tionable meat is offered for sale. In the
past, fruits and vegetables came from
near at hand and were gathered almost
ripe, while the beef, mutton, veal and
pork were from this State and New Jer-
sey and were of excellent quality, to
say nothing of being in prime condition
and altogether wholesome. Things have
changed in the line Of marketing, but
the change has not been for the better

Simple Substitute for Sea Water.

A warm salt bath is very refreshing to
any one suffering from exhaustion OF
travel or of a long shopping expedition
which is as trying to mind and body
as anything that can be undertaken by a
woman. Away from the seashorea very
simple substitute for sea water is a cup
of rock salt dissolved in warm water and
added to the bath. When the salt is ir-
rltating to the skin, take a warm bath
aud sponge off with a mixture of violet
or lavender water and alcohol, about
half and half, and rub briskly with a
warm friction towel. Such a method
prevents the exhaustion and danger of
cold which follow warm bath, Chi

A cablegram from China says that
decree from one of the viceroys imposing
& upon opium has been abandoned
because of the protests of Great Britain.
Tho British Government holds a monop-
oily of the opium crop in India. Under
this opium is sold to middlemen at a pro-
fit OF six hundred per cent. 1t is then
taken to China, but the Chinese are per-
mitted to impose only nominal tax
England holds it as a British interest in
India, and insists that it shall be so re-
ceived in China. The revenue from this
monopoly varies from iorty-five to fifty
four millions OF dollars year, and with
out it England could not govern India.

WOMAN.

Fairer than all the fantasies that dart
Adown the dreams of our most favored
sleep,
Thy perfect form, since Eden's day, doth

The constant pattern Of a perfect artl
Yet more must we admire thy better part
The spirit strong to smile when others
weep
And well know we who sail lifes ocean
deep
There is no haven like woman's heart.
Thus, often weary ere the strife is won,
Tired of my task, my head fain would

In some good lady's lap, as did 'the

Knowing It's but play within play,
The heeting portion of an endless plan.

TERRIFIC CYCLONE.


CoLoRADo, Texas, April 29.--Particu-
lars have just reached here of a cyclone
that passed over strip Of country ten
mics south Of here Thursday. The storm
came from the southwest, and was fun
mel shaped cloud as black as ink, with a
twisting, bounding motion and roaring
noise. An eye witness who saw it when
1t struck the Colorado river, SAYS it swept
the river dry for 200 yards. On the further
bank it deposited whole drifts OF mud and
gravel.
The path of the tornado was 200 wards
wide and can be traced for miles by twist
ed and uprooted trees, and even grass has
been blown from the ground. There are
few houses in this section. Only one
three-story building was destroyed that
has been heard from, and it was not oc-
cupled. No trace of the house can be
found, although its country has been
searched for miles. A number of dead
cattle have been found in the track, every
bone in their bodies being broken. At
Eanests ranch, near Lorraine, wind
mill and considerable fencing was demo-
ished and there the storm seems to have
left the ground, as no further trace of it
can be found.

cred of this coming of an Indian Christ
are very fragmeDtary, but the belief is

Indians, and under the leadership of their
medicine men, they have worked quite a
revival and are confidently wait

time ago an Indian Interpreter at the

THE RATE WAR.


CHICAGO, April 29.--The chances are
all in favor of meeting OF passenger men
next Monday, which will not only reor-
ganze the Western States Passenger as
sociation but agree to an advance in rates
to the old basis throughout the whole
western territory. A hurried notice for
the meeting was sent out to-day by Sec.
Thompson Un receipt OF the notice by the
last road in the Old association of its will
lngness to cooperate. 1t is not yet
known what conditions the Missouri Pa
elf: made, but it is thought an agreement
can be had, now that all lines have ex-
pressed their willingness to cooperate.
There has never been such cold,
BIZ oded and cut-throat warfare in western
passenger history as the one which it is
thought next Tuesdays meeting will end.
The plan OF settlement is already mapped
out. 1t will consist of an agreement
founded on the old Western States Pas
senger association. 1t may take some
time to settle details, but with all lines
present and all anxious to settle war
fare which has rendered their PASSENGER
business non-paying for five months, it is
considered certain speedy settlement
will be adopted. The acquiescence OF
the Missouri Pacific in the movement rem
ders almost certain the report that Gould
has finally bought the Mexican Central
and is again ready to lift the cloud hang
ing over western railroads. The hand
some earnings of the Mexican Central
show that the plum was well worth Gould's
picking.
Chairman Walker, of the Inter State
association, partially corroborated the set
tlement of the rate war. He admitted
a plan which bade fair to settle the whole
western situation was on foot, but would
tell nothing as to details He SAID it
would take some time to work out the
plan, but his manner plainly said he was
confident it would be successful.
