HOW TO SELECT AND EAT
A WATERMELON.

Mr.. Thos. F. Murray in the
New York Herald gives the fol
lowing fashions about the melon
What no! We old fashioned
family physician? Take down
from the drug shelf and dust of
the "Ready Relief aud "pain
killers" of last year; refill she
Jamaica ginger bottle and get
ready for the coming grippe sea-
son, for the watermelon is at
hand and the midnight wall OF
the small boy will be heard
throughout the land.
Not that there is any positive
danger from eating the heart OF
a ripe watermelon.
Bless you, no.
But in hts greed for more, the
youth is likely to eat in too
close to rind and thus get him
self into trouble. But who can
blame him, for who has ever
eaten enough Of this glorious
fruit at any one time?
The eating of watermelon il
al art learned only by long and
varied experience. It isn't q
fruit with which to begin ones
breakfast or for that matter to
begin or end ones dinner, that
is, if one expects to eat other
things.
By itself alone? Yes! yes! yes!
Eat it at any time and at all
times, and may the Lord for
give you if accused Of gluttohy
or Of greed.
Good watermelons are not yet
plentiful, but will be in a few
weeks Those now in market
are from Florida and cost 80
per dozen. Wait until they are
about $40 per hundred and
them
1t is quite an art to select a
choice melon without cutting
a small hole through its fat
green sides, but it can be done;
the same as an expert can tell
a counterfeit from a genuine
bill-by the feeling and general
appearance. The dark green of
the melon should be tho color
Of English ivy leave; the yell
lowish spot underneath caused
by its contact with mother
earth should be tested with the
pressure Of the finger. The spot
should have q spring resistance
and the indentation thus made
should not be noticeable when

Irvine from Marsh Grass.

A st. Paul (Minn.) special says that
through the efforts of an inventor
of Iowa articles which can be manu-
featured from common slough grass are
attracting considerable attention. The
farmers of the northwest have been pay
ing large prices for binding Irvine, and
it is this fact probably which started
George Lowry to investigate the uses
to which common marsh grass could be
put. He has made several inventions
which are an assured success. The bind
ing Irvine made by his method is strong,
durable, and, above all, cheap. While
the material from which ordinary bind
ing Irvine is made costs from $3.50 to
$3.50 per ton, slough grass costs from 50
to s. a ton, and the cost of making the
Irvine from either material is about the
same. A company has been organized
for the manufacture of this Irvine.
The company will also make cordage
of all kinds, bagging and mating from
marsh grass. Marsh grass makes good
rope in any size, and formed into small
Irvine it a readily be woven into coarse
cloth Of great strength, which can be
put to a variety of uses. The cotton
planters of the United States annually
raise about 100000 bales of cotton,
which require about 60, 0 1000 yards of
bagging. The jute bagging costs about
eight cents a yard. The grass Irvine bag
ging can be made at about one cent a
yard less.-New York Tribune.

An Interesting Opinion.

A lady-we shall not tell her name
had a most amusing experience with
Benjamin P. Hutchinson tho other day.
This lady is deeply interested in chart
table work, and ever and anon she lends
herself to the d~isagreeable task of So
Letting money contributions to such
worthy as she may happen to
have in hand. This is rather u%ngrateful
employment, but this lady applies her
self cheerfully to it, for. she recognizes it
as a part Of her Christian duty. 1t be-
fell that this worthy woman had occa-
sion to approach Mr.. Hutchinson the
other afternoon, and she did so in the
spirit of charming good nature, which
is, perhaps, her most conspicuous char
acteristic.
Now Mr.. Hutchinson is q wary bird,
and seldom it is that he is caught IN u
corner by anybody. But this particular
lady was SO exceptionally bright and
e3uberant that tho crafty millionaire
gave up a crisp 500 bill almost be-
fore he was aware of it. And then, as
we can easily suppose, he began to regret
1T. On her part the fair solicitor was
considerably surprised; she had heard
that he was a hard, unfeeling man, yet
had he not responded promptly and
generously to her appeal? She was SO
grateful that she insisted on shaking
hands with the old man, and as she did
so sho remarked, fee1ingly, 1--WE do not
always get u reward here, Mr.. Hutch
inson, but we should remember that the
Lord loveth a cheerful giver."
eyes, I've often hcerd tell" answered
MI. Hutchinson dryfy, "but I'm more
interested in findin' out the Lords
opinion of q cheerful beggar."-Chicago

Syrup"

Here is something from MI. Frank
A. Hale, proprietor of the De Witt
House, Lewiston, and the Tontine
Hotel, Brunswick, Me. Hotel men
meet the world as it comes and goes,
and are not slow in sizing people
and things up for what they are
worth. He says that he has lost a
father and several brothers and Sis
tiers from Pulmonary Consumption,
and is himself frequently troubled
with colds, and he
Hereditary often coughs enough
to make him sick at
Consumptionhis stomach. When
ever he has taken a
cold of this kind he uses Boschee's
German Syrup, and it cures him
every time. Here is a man who
knows the full danger of lung trou-
bles, and would therefore be most
particular as to the medicine he used.
What is his opinion? Listen! "I
use nothing but Boschee's German
Syrup, and have advised, l presume,
more than a hundred different per-
sons to take it. They agree with
me that it is the best cough syrup

Chinese Ideas About God,

A young lady who teaches Sunday
school lessons to two Chinese boys in an
Episcopal church on Fifth avenue, sneak
ing of her work, said: "My two sons of
the Flowery Kingdom can speak but lit
tlc English, but 1 really think they have
a good idea of Christ and his mission ON
earth. They seem very apt at learning,
and kneel II stand up at the proper
time during church services. Both of
them wear queues, though, and would
not part from them for any considera-
ton. 1t took mo o long time to make
them understand that Christ was divine.
They imagined I had reference merely
to his goodness. At first they imagined
he vas an idol that had been found e
eighteen hundred years ago at Bethle-
hem. i'll Judea, and had been buried,
after being exposed on the cross, and
then stolen and hidden by those who
worshipped the idol. 1t was hard to get
them away from the joss idea.
"They speak English 50 imperfectly !
think that is a drawback to their rapid
advancement. Ono of them asked me if
God was buried in Judea, as we'll as his
son. When l explained that they lived
above the clouds an incredulous look
