Apples Are Wholesome.

The apple is fruit which at all times
has u wholesome influence on the body.
but which is especially useful on the din
ner table, though pines, grapes, peaches
aud other fruits may be more fashion
able. The chemical composition of the
apple consists of vegetable fiber, albu-
men, sugar, gum, chlorophyll, malic acid,
gallic acid, lime and a large proportion of
water. The German analysts also assert
that the apple contains larger proper
ton of phosphorus than any other fruit
or vegetable, and this phosphorus is of
great use in renewing the essential nery-
GUS matter-lethicin-of the brain and

THE ROSE AND THE FERN.

Lady, life's sweetest lesson would'st thou learn,
Come thou with me to loves enchanted bower;
High overhead the trelltsed roses burn,
Beneath thy feet behold the feathery fern
A leaf without flower
What though the rose leaves fall. They still arc
sweet
And have been lovely in their beauteous prime,
While the bare frond seems ever to repeat,
''For us no bud, no blossom, wakes to greet
The Joyous towering time."
Heed thou the lesson. Life has leaves to trend
And flowers to cherish; summer round them
giows;
Wait not till autumn's fading robes are shed,
But while its petals still are burning red
Gather lifes full blown rose!

Norwegian Longevity.

Vital statistics of Norway, recently
published, show an expectation of life in
that country that can hardly be paral-
lelcd i'll any other country. The mean
duration of life is 1888 years for males
and 5l.30 years for females. In England
the mean duration of life is Abs years
for males and 44.6s years for females.
In other words, a Norwegian at his birth
may reasonably expect to live seven
years longer than an Englishman.

A Novel Invention.

Among the novel applications for
patents at the u S. Patent office is that
of Frank Vester and he halls from New
ark, N. j. Who of Us has not read har-
rowing accounts of people buried alive?
How often, in removing the remains Of
deceased friends from one place OF
burial to another, have the bodies been
found turned over in their collins and
the clinched hands and agonized look
told the story of an awakening from a
trance, only to find death in a grave.
These are well known fatalities, and it is
from such horrors that Mr. Frank Vester
would save US, and the process is so
simple it merely involves the use of a
certain kind of coffin. Here it is. The
Vester coffin is like other collins except
that square tube is placed in the lid of
the coffin and directly over the face of
the body therein, which extends from
the coffin up through and over the sur
face of the grave, said tube containing a
ladder and cord, one end of the cord
being placed in the hand of the person
laid in the coffin and the other end of the
cord being attached to bell on the top
