APPLES as MEDICINE.
Praised for Several Virtues = The
Reasons Why.

Chemically, the apple is composed Of
chlorophyll, malic acid, gallic acid, lime,
and much water. Furthermore, the Ger
man analysts say that the apple contains
a larger percentage of phosphorus than
any other fruit or vegetable. This phos-
phorus is admirably adapted for renewing
the essential nervous matter, lethicin, of
the brain and spinal chord. 1t is, per-
haps, for the same reason, rndely under
stood, that old Scandinavian traditions
represent the apple as the food of the
gods, who, when they felt themselves to
be 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 seden-
tary 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 malic 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 stomach
rather than provoke it. Their vegetable
salts and juices are converted into aka
line 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 its digestion being completed in
eighty-fve minutes. Gefrard found that
the 'spulpe of roasted apples mixed in a
wine-quart of faire water, and laboured
together until it comes to be as apples and

"The pairing of an apple, cut somewhat

the party goes to bed, and is tied, o.

A poulticc made of rotten apples is o
very common use in Lincolnshire for the
cure of weak or rheumatic eyes. Like
wise in the Hotel des Invaldes, at Paris
an apple poultice is used for infamet
eyes, the apple being roasted and it

Mechanical Birds That Fly.

Some quite remarkable toy birds have
been made by French manufacturer,

very successfully. One of the mechanical
birds has a spread Of wings Of 1S inches,
is worked by rubber spring 5 inches
long and weighing 100 grains, and has .

Curious Parliamentary Outrage.

A wcll-to-do and eccentric bachelor named
Micalowski died in Warsaw in the spring of
1888. He left his will in a sealed envelope
bearing the direction in his handwriting that
1t should not be opened until one year from
the date OF his death. The Mcaowski family,
after considerable consultation with lawyers
and friends resolved to obey the instructions.
On the first anniversary OF the bachelors
death they gathered at his house. and watched
lawyer open the envelope. 1t contained an
other envelope exactly like the first even to
the last word Of the dead Micalowski's sngu-
lar injunction on the outside. Another year
passed and the relations again assembled and
the secoGd envelope was opened with the same
result In 1856 1887 1883. and 1889 the rela-
tons and the lawyer repeated the anniversary
scene without Il single variation. Recently
they assembled for the seventh time. Tho en-
veope was opened. and the ong-desired will
was revealed. 1t gave but $4,000 to the anXious
relations !; 100000 was left to the children OF
the dead Micalowski's old nurse. $4,000 TO tho
