FRUIT SEEDS.
Something About Certain Dangerous Chs
tfonomic Performances.

There are certain persons who seem
TO have a mild sort Of mania for queer
gastronomic performances. THEY pride
themselves on their ability TO bolt all
sorts of curious edibles and seem to
think it an accomplishment to swallow
the cores, seeds, stems and other por-
tons OF fruit, which are usually dis
carded In view of the fact that
number of deaths have occurred during
the past few years from the seeds OF
fruit, it might be well Tor parents to
give attention to the diet of their chill.
dren in this respect. A severe and lin
gering attack of gastritis was re.
Gently caused by chewing and swal-
lowing the stems of apples. The woody
fiber ground into tiny slivers pene-
trated the coatings of the stomach, and
the patient had very narrow escape
from death. Peach-pits, plum-pits and
chcrry-pits are frequently swallowed
by children, of course without the
slightest comprehension of the injury
which may follow.
1t is wcll-known fact that seeds Of
some plants may terminate in the sys-
tenn. Having done this, they imme-
diatcly proceed TO grow roots. Botanists
understand that enormous quantities Of
roots will grow in darkness while there
will be scarcely perceptible shoot OF
the top portion of the plant 1t may be
readily understood that this root growth
would produce violent attacks of illness
and result in death. The lack of con-
sideration in matters of this sort on the
part of parents is one of the curious
fea lures of daily life.
There are many persons who eat
grapes without removing the seeds. II
such people would take large bunch
of grapes and cook them, then strain
out the seeds and examine them, they
might be Mortified at the amount Of
rubbish they consume every day during
the grape season. The seed of the
grape is exactly the right size and shape
for clogging up small duct, the clos
ing of which results in the dreadful
disease known as appendicitis. Small
orange or lemon seeds or apple seeds
are equally dangerous.
Children should be taught the utmost
care in eating fruit that every seed IL
rejected. 1t is said that in grape coun-
tries the peasants teach their children
to eat merely the pulp of the grape,
carefully removing the seeds, and in
some instances the skin of the fruit
There is no oubt that the pulp alone
is more desra bic than pulp and skin to-
gether. 1t is easy to cat a grape BIZ
pinching out the interior, holding the
outer covering between the thumb AMI
finger.
A great deal Is said and written about
diet, but quite too little is heard of the
necessity for care that the indigestible
portions of the various articles of food
are not permitted to enter the stomach

His Newly-Made Bride.
The skipper of a canal boat on the
Illinois e. Michigan canal recently de-
cided, after mature deliberation and
careful consideration, to marry his
cook, smart energetic. and not wholly
bad-looking Celt, who had been tried
and faithful servant to him for quite

So he spoke to her about the matter
one day, and, after securing her coy
consent, he ordered the boat to be tied
up at the wharf of Joliet, and, being a
practical skipper, skipped up the street
after parson.
The nuptial knot was soon tied, and
then the canal boatman said:
well, Melindy, we are married for
keeps now. We are hitched for life
and must pull together. I'm a little
short-handed to-day, and, as that lead.

The Greatest Natural Bridge.

You all know of the natural bridge
in Virginia; and perhaps have heard
how the first and greatest president of
the United States, in the athletic vigor
of his youth, climbed up and carved his
name high on its cliff. A very beauti-
full and picturesque spot it is, too; but
many of them would not begin to make
one of the natural bridge of which ! am
going to tell you-one in the western
edge of the Tonic Basin, Arizona, in
the same general region as Montezuma's
well and castle; but it is even less
known.
The ma tural bridge of Pine creek.
Arizona, is to the worlds natural
bridges what the Grand canyon of the
Colorado is to the worlds chasms-the
greatest, the grandest, the most be-
wiidering. 1t is truly entitled to rank
with the great natural wonders of the
earth-as the natural bridge in Virginia
is not. No photograph can give more
than hint of its majesty; no combina-
ton of photographs more than hints

COUNCIL.
Norton Avenue Sewer Question
Dropped-Electric Lights in
Jeopardy.

Thursday night at the adjourned session
of the council all members were present ex-
cepting Reiser.
The purpose for which the meeting was
called, the consideration Of the establish
ment of the Norton Avenue sewer was take n
up.
The proposition, however, was dropped
when, on showing by several property own
ers present, twas ascertained that the prop
erty to be taxed was not sufficient to con-
struct the sewer.
This will leave the property owners who
petitioned for the improvement bat one re-
course and that is to tap the already over
taxed Washington street sewer.
Ludwig asked what disposition was to be
made of the contemplated filling on the
south side claiming that same could be done
for $50. The matter was referred to street
committee.
Waterworks was touched on long enough
to ascertain that the analyzer of the Mau-
NEE water had not yet gotten ID his work.
A. Bradley was present representing the
Beard Electric Light Company, and on be-
half of said company said that it was unable
to run longer at the present schedule. He
asked an increase of $3.50 on each lamp.
Council expressed itself as having under
stood the company to verbally agree to run
any length of time at the old rate.
On this point the company took e1cep-
tions and the meeting adjourned with no
definite understanding.
The lights up to date are stiiin operation.

But few from Napoleon attended the
opera house opening at Defiance Friday
night. While the exhorbitant charge for
seats may have been excusabe and IN some
cases commendable where Defiance people
wished to contribute to the fund, it was out
of taste and form to extend thelsame sched-

looked as though it were intended as a pro-
hibitory measure. Many from here wished
to see Clara Morris, yet they did not feel
warranted in buying portion of the opera
