Eating Fruit Before breakfast.

You can get an opinion on all sides of
a question 1t is now said that one of
the most injurious customs in regard to
eating is the practice of serving fruit at
the beginning of breakfast. The best
medical authority pronounces acid of
any sort hurtful if taken when the
stomach is empty. A more judicious
custom provides fruit at the close of a
meal. Besides being easier digested at
that time, the fruit can be better rel
ished. If it is thought that the fruit
loses it's flavor in warm room through
a long meal, it may not be placed upon
the table, but kept in cool spot until
the time of serving.-Old Homestead

The Jersey Bodice ReyIyed.

The jersey comes up again among
spring garments designed for utility
purposes. This bodice continues in
favor on account of it's easy, pliable
nature, while yet fitting with great per-

novel fancies in its garniture are con-
stantly being devised. Folds, plastrons,

A BEAR STORY.

Another Hear Assisted the Trapped Bcute in Carrying OT the Trap.
 Not long ago COW died in the vicin- ity of the Quinn ranch, near the head of Goose creek, south of Wagon Wheel gap, says the San Juan (Cal.) Prospcc- tor. It soon became apparent to Will liam Quinn, owner of tbe ranch, that the carcass of the cow was being visited by bear of very large dimensions, end, in company with Dell McClelland, Eir. Quinn decided to ''sit up with the bear and endeavor to get a shot at it by night. This was done. but owing. to darkness the bear was not killed by shots fired.
 As the next resort. large bear trap, weighing about seventy-five pounds. was procured and set near the dead ''critter,' and the trappers went to bed laughing at the trick they had played on the bear. The trap was chained to pole eighteen feet long and eight inches through at the large end.
 In the morning an examination of the premises about the dead COW showed plainly that the bear and cub had been there during the night. There was large track, eighteen inches long and six or seven inches wide, and small track, evidently made by cub. The trap, however, was gone, and with it the eighteen-foot pole, and the disturbed condition of the ground showed conclu sively that the bear had been caught in the trap. The trail, however, away from the scene, was only the trail oI two bears-there was not a mark of dragging either trap or pole.
 BIr. Quinn took up the trail, which he followed eight miles without coming upon the bears, trap or pole. At the camp of Tom Carey, seven miles away, that gentleman told how, in the night, he had been awakened by sound as of something walking with an occasional pause and heavy fall on the ground, as though something had been dropped. Having no gun Mir. Carey sat up in his tent the balance of the night and en- deavored to keep warm by pol1ing wood into sheet-iron stove.
 The trail was followed mile or so further and then lost. h one place the bears had passed through a heavy quaking aspen thiclzet and had literally moved swath through the saplings, showing that the trap and pole were being taken along.
 The natural inference is that the bear was caught in the trap and had picked up the same, with the pole, and started for the hills The bear is an old offender in these parts, and Mr. Quinn hopes to find it yet.
 Later.-A man just in from the head of the San Juan reports that he passed the bears on the Pargosa road. beyond Summitville, jogging contentedly along, each carrying one end of the pole, while the old bear was caught in the trap by the right front foot.

The Minds sIysterious Workings.

In the Marchioness of Dufferin's Canadian Journal there is an account of one of those ''coincidences" which Dr. Weatherly is at much pains to ex- plain away: You remember that told you that poor man servant of ours was drowned at the Mingan. As we knew nothing about his people we were unable to communicate the news of his death to them, so D. ordered any letters that might arrive for him to be brought to himself. The first of these which we have just received-was from servant girl to whom he was at tached at Ottawa, and was dated exact ly seven days after the accident. Tn it she said: T have been il my new place week and like it very much, but had such dreadful dream on the day of my arrival l dreamt that you and Howell were upset i1 . boat to- gether, but you were drowned" As the spot is in an uninhabited region on the coast Of Labrador, moro than five hundred miles from Ottawa, without either telegraph or posts, 1t was impos- sible that she should have received the news of her lovers death when thls let ter was written.

He Would Return Eono by Swimming CT

 They were talking about the wonder ful instinct of animals in general and of dogs in particular, when a man living on Sixth street said to Free Press re- porter:
 q s'pose some of you remember that bob-tailed brindle dog I used to own? l gave him away half dozen times, but he always turned up again. I gave him to man in Cheboygan some time ago, and he blindfolded him and took him up there on the ears and yet he come back within two weeks"
 Three or four of the crowd expressed their surprise, and the Sixth street man was encouraged to continue.
 ''He came back from Chicago, Cincin- natl and Buffalo, and finally gave him to a man who was going to the Sand wich islands. I felt pretty sure I had seen the last of that dog, but in exactly three months from the day he left I found him on the front doorstep"
 Was he taken to the Sandwich is lands?" asked one.
 ''He was, as I afterward found out"
 Good lands! man, you don't pretend to say he found his way back from there?"
 ''I certainly do."
 ''Do you know where those islands are?"
 "I do."
 Do you know that your dog would have had to swim a distance of several thousand miles to reach the nearest land?"
 ''I do; and it's right here want to say that, while that 'ere dog wasn't worth powder to blow him up as trav- eler on dry land, he was the allfredest animal to swim that ever stood on legs! That's just why l wanted to get rid of him-the internal idiot always thought he was born for fish instead of dog. and l had to keep the cellar full of wa ter for him to play in!'

THE PIRATES OF FRANCE.

The Ferubiic Is IiayiI< Hard Work to
 Stamp Out Outl..yry in Tonxin.
 The French for a year past have been having very lively time with the pi- rates in Tonkin. Some months ago the newspapers described these rowing bands of outlaws, most of them com posed Of criminals from China, who flock over the border to prey upon the natives Of the adjoining country. France decided year ago to wipe them out, for they were keeping the country in constant alarm, and were embodied to invade not only the settle nents Of the interior highlands, but d. so to push down to the very coast and to attack small bodies of the French soldiery. Most of the pirate bands are well armed, and although they have met with very serious reverses they are still unsubdued.
 The French have met them repeated iy in parties of twenty to hundred men, and fierce fights have generally occurred. In the campaign against the pirates, which began in April last, two thousand French soldiers took the field " ltt1lA G1LSC HlOnlliS GICFCu pirates were killed, of whom about seven hundred and fifty met their fate in battle. while the others were cap tured and executed. According to the latest reports hardly day has passed since June 1 without some encounter. The pirates have been almost invaria- bly, worsted until recently. Recent re- ports say, however, that the pirates appear to have received large re-en- forcements.
 A detachment of soldiers who were protecting a party of workingmen en- gagged in building French fortiica- tion were attacked, and thirteen of the French, including Lieut.. Levecq, were killed or wounded. The pirates after ward beheaded Lieut.. Levecq and seven of his men. When the pirates are led to execution they meet their death with the most absolute indiffer- ence. The present war is certain to end in faver of the French, though the pirates have the great advantage that they can retreat to their noun tain fastnesses, where it is difficult to pursue them, and wait there quite free from molestation until they have re- cruited them strength and are ready for fresh forayS.

TOO MUCH RED TAPE.
Why Men Dislike to Purchase Goods at
 Big Dry-GoOds Stores.

Why Men Dislike to Purchase Goods at
 Big Dry-Goods Stores.
 If ever man so far forgets himself as to make a purchase in a great dry goods store he makes resolution on the spot which ever leads him to pat ronize little stores where he pays twice as much for an article but has it handed to him straight over the counter when he has bought it and is able to go di- rectly out with it.
 Here is little sample experience in big dry-goods store, says the Bos- ton Transcript. Yesterday a man, having lost button off his coat, went into store which lay on his way to buy another button to replace it. A sylph- like young lady of seventeen summers waited on him, somewhat absert-mind edly, but produced presently the right button. The price of it wassfve cents. The man took nickel from his pocket and handed it to the young lady.
 Think you that the transaction hav- ing thus been completed, the man could slip it into his waistcoat pocket and go his way? Certainly not. The young lady must first make duplicate record of the transaction upon certain com plicated blanks. One of these records, together with the button, goes to another young lady not far away, who does them up in little parcel; but the other record, with the nickel, must make long journey through a pneu- matic tube or leash railway" to distant cashiers desk, and the parcel maker may not on peril of her life de- liver tho button to the purchaser until the cashier has duly inspected the nickel and sent back through the same inter- minable pneumatic tube a stamped record showing that the nickel has been received.
 Now yesterday, in the case under consideration, this interesting Aum-a- diddle occupied exactly ten minutes by the watch, during all of which time the man, who had paid exactly the right change for his button, writhed vainly on his stool. All this, of course, was for the supposed benefit of the house, and wholly ct the loss of the customer. not less than twenty cents worth of whose time was sacrificed to this beau tiful system.

JACK III A FIX.
Sorrows of Dog That Climbed e Tree
 After a Squirrel.

After Squirrel
 At dusk one day lately Jack, fox terrier belonging to Jason Fellows, of Green township, got after a gray squir- rel in pasture on Mr. Fellows farm, says a Scranton correspondent of the New York Sun. The squirrel skipped up the trunk of mammoth maple tree just as Jack was about to seize it, and the plucky dog skinned up the tree also. bIr. Fellows tried to call him down, but Jack stuck his nails into the tough bark and tugged and clong until he had climbed to the crotch, fifty-two feet from the ground. By that time the squirrel was chattering on one of the topmost limbs, and Jack couldn't get any further. He couldn't get down, either, and he began to howl and whine for his master to help him. It was soon dark, and Mir. Fellows hustled around to find some way of reaching Jack and lowering him to the ground. He and his sons tried in vain to climb the tree, and then they went among their neighbors and got several volun- teers. No one was able to climb it, and Jack continued to whine up there in  the dark. By nine o'clock all the near by farmers had heard of Jacks pre- dicament and were under the tree with lanterns. There wasn't a ladder in the neigh borhood long enough to reach half way to Jack, and along toward midnight three ladders were taken to the spot, lashed together and hoisted against the, tree. Then Albert Fellows started to climb up with surcingle and a long rope. The bottom ladder broke and gave him pretty hard fall, and the attempt to rescue Jack was postponal till daylight. NIT. Fellows and his sculs worked until two o'clock to make a new ladder and then they went to bed. Jack howled mournfully all night up in the big maple, and the members of Mir. Fellows household got very little sleep. When daylight came Jack was still begging to be saved, and the men fastened the new ladder to the | other ones. Then Ansil Fellows climbed 1 up, buclzEed the srlrcinglc around Jack 1 and lowered him at the end of a rope. | When he reached the ground he began to bark for joy and the saucy squirrel | chattered at him from the treetop.
