Chemically the apple is composed of veg
etable fiber, albumen. sugar, gum, chloro-
phyll, malic acid, gallo acid, lime end much
water. Furthermore, the German analysts
say that the apple contains larger per-
centage of phosphorus than any other fruit
or vegetable This phosphorus is edmira-
bly, adapted for renewing the essential
nervous matter, letchicin of the brain and
spinal cord 1t is perhaps for the same
reason, rudely understood, that old Scan
dinavian traditions represented 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 bodies. Also the
acids of the apple are of signal use for men
OF sedentary habits whose lives are slug
gish in action, these acids serving TO elm
mate from the body noxious matters,
which If retained would make the brain
heavy and dull or bring about jaundice or
skin eruptions.

The head of the stream with an icy wreath
And the mighty wheel OF the old mill hangs,
White bearded 20 the teeth.

Through the woods its Deep melodious
roar.
Aza the brook beneath is tranced and sill,
AsH IL would wake no more.
And the milIer's cottage, above the mill,
Is silent, too, these wintry days,
Since the sweet girl-beauty, its flower anf
pride,
In the distant city stays.
For thi Ser her opulent cousins take
Our country bird ere the last leaf falls,
That her pure young beauty, with health and
life
May freshen their stupid halls.
But like bird in gilded cage,
know that she pines for the melting days
That shall loosen the voice OF the old mill
wheel
Through all the woodland ways.

To call our wood bird home.

ARSENlCAL POISONING.
The Many Sources from Which 1t May Ac-
cidentally Arise.

cidentakly arise.
The manifold sources from which arsen-
zeal poisoning may be derived is subject
recently considered in The British Medical
Journal. Among the cases noted is that
of man who died with symptoms of gas
tro-enteritis, while five other people in the
family were taken seriously i'll. 1t trans
pired that they had all partaken of some
homemade gooseberry wine, and that this
had been stored in a cask previously used
for the reception of certain weed killer
largely composed of arsenic, and there
could be but little doubt that the poisoning
was due to the arsenic. A case very SINH
lar to this occurred some years ago, when
man lost his life by drinking beer out Of 4
pot which had been cleansed with patent
cleansing fluid containing arsenic, and
there is also the well known wholesale
poisoning at an industrial school, when
over 800 children were poisoned by some
water being added to their morning milk
which had been drawn from tank recently
cleansed of fur by solution of arsenite OF
soda. Happily on that occasion no fatal
result occurred. Another case of accident
al poisoning, in which the poison was alb
sorbed through the skin, was that of two
infants who lost their lives through the
use of violet powder into the composition
of which arsenic had entered. One lesson
drawn from these and other cases is that
cleansing fluids are sometimes dangerous

curiou, AIarrring Mistake.

at the parish church Of Briefly Hill,
on the borders Of the Black country, a
curious mistake occurred a few days
ago. 4 bridal party by some means oc-
cupied their wrong places, and the bri6e
was married TO the best man, who was
engaged 10 marry her sister. During
the ceremony the bride had some idea
that the proceedings were hardly as they
should be. as the bridegroom stood be
hind her and the best man, and handed
the ring to the latter. On tho other
hand, the best man made the necessary
responses. Happily the error was dis
covered before the register had been
signed and the ceremony was gone
through a second time, care being taken
that the right man was welded 70 the

that they was t. be hitcbed some time

jes' camped right at Sis fer tn sum

easy, we all got t lillln' him tiptop.
All Except Perry Roane. He hated him

Jest cause Spenceley was under the
same roof with Hetty, an he knowed
that it might turn out kind of bad fer
him, specially as he knowed right then
which nobody else did-that Hetty
want much stuck on him anyhow, an
had only promised e marry him t

a good deal of bully, an drank con-

WITH OR WITHOUT
The Bonnet and Gloves Problem-When
to Wear Them and When Not.

to Wear Them and When Not
Some one has declared that, as a rule,
one regrets more having appeared ridicu-
lous than having done wrong. Marion
Harland expresses the opinion in House
keepers Weekly that, uncomplimentary
as is this comment upon human natures
moral courage it contains more than one
grain of truth. She says: "There is no
more bitter smart than that Of wounded
vanity: and the sense of having been over
or underdressed is modification not east
ly forgotten. Who of us cannot recall
some such experience, the recollection of
which causes her cheeks TO burn. In near
ly all similar cases the hostess is to blame,
in that she does not specifically state what
kind of an entertainment she proposes to
give. If full dress is expected she should
not insist that it IS "A very informal
affair.""
The bonnet and glove question is one Of
the most perplexiag points in the etiquette
Of costume The authority already quoted
discusses it as follows:
One society woman confesses TO me that
her life is burdened by the problem-with
or without bonnetsy gloves or no Gloves
At lunch it is always according TO rule
TO retain ones bonnet This is an accepted
law of etiquette, and the hostess should
not insist upon the removal of the head
covering. If guest remains unexpected
ly TO a meal she may not be sufficiently
sure of the orderly condition of her hair 10
care to display it-as, in spite of care, locks
will become disordered by a drive or walk
through the open air, and under these con
ditions a hat is boon.
Indeed, at the present day a bonnet IS
worn at almost any daylight entertain
ment-that is, at teas, lunches and at cat
homes" In the evening a dress bonnet IS
quite in keeping at receptions. But at an
evening dinner IL IS not 10 be worn.
Fortunately, so far as gloves are con-
termed, forewarned may be forearmed. A
woman can always wear them into the
parlor, aud then if she finds herself in a
minority, they may quietly be drawn of
and deposited in the depths Of her pocket.
Gloves must be worn 70 large dinner and
removed after one is seated At the table.

and has become of itself Il very &C.
rious burden upon the treasury.
Surely there is neither reason nor
Justice in legislation which destroys
all distinction between the dis
charge Of duty and the shirking of
it; between loyal service and de-
scrtion of the colors; between
wounds received in battle and dis
eases contracted in the pursuits of
peace.
There is still another great and
increasing evil chiefly traceable, in
my opinion, to the maintenance OF
an excessive tariff since the war,
and the constant meddling with it
to make it higher; and that is the
bringing to our shores Of those vast
sWarms of undesirable immigrants
Just as the duties upon imported
merchandise have been increased,
SO has the grade Of imported labor
been lowered. AS the Republican
party is now definitely committed
to the policy of taxing the people
for the purpose Of giving bounties
to such persons or interests as can
secure the necessary votes in con.
gress, so the Democratic party is
now as definitely committed to the
policy Of restricting taxation to
the needs of the government for
public purposes alone.
/ am convinced that the old
causes in which [ am interested
cannot hope for success until the
avowed policy of the Republican
party on this subject is overthrown
Until then the right of each state
to control elections within its bor-
ders will not be secdre; there is no
prospect of our enjoying the single
and staple standard of value which
other civilized and commercial ma
tions possess; there is no hope OF
placing ei ther our pension system
or the regulation of immigration
upon just and proper basis; the pu-
rification of our politics will contin-
ne the irridescent dream which
high Republican authority has de-
clarcd it must always remain, AND
any pretended reform of the civil
service must prove a delusion and
a snare. Even ballot reform must
share the same fate of betrayal in
the house of its pretended friends
All these good causes are, in the
very nature of things, the relent
less foes Of system of government
by bounties to favored interests
and such a system is their relent.
