The Selection of Emit.


Care should be exercised in the selec-
ton of fruit, as it is just as easy and as
cheap to buy good fruit as the bad stock.
Never buy a cat in the bag; or in other
words, fruits or nuts that are placed in
packages by the dealers, for the chances
are against the purchaser receiving the
same quality as is exposed to view. For
instance, the wagon fruit peddler's profit
Is derived, not from the sale of short
measures, but from the disposal of the
bad and poor stock which he has. The
peddler viii search the wholesale market
through for a damaged stock of grapes
or bananas which he can purchase cheap.
After an hour or two of mysterious work
he has his wagon or handcart properly
arranged for appearance on the public
thoroughfares
The FIRST customers are almost sure to
find themselves cheated after examining
their purchases on their arrival at home.
The good stock is held to attract the
late trade. If you watch peanut ped
dler just after he has located on a corner
for business you will see him with a
paper sack in hand picking out the dis
coIored nuts, which will go to the first
customers, and so it is with all huck-
sters. Pick your own goods and then
you are sure not to be cheated. Inter

The saubino.

In the old church of Ara Celia, near
the top Of the capitol steps, IN the
city of Rome, is little treasury room
where the sacred vestments are kept
and where, in wonderful little respos-
itory, lies d wooden doll called the sacred
bambino, representing the Holy Child
Jesus. So strong is the superstition with
regard to this child that in cases of ILL.,
ness it is sent for and taken in great state
by some dignitary of the church to the
bedsides of sufferers who believe in its
miraculous power to heal and bless. In
this old church, around the affairs, are
the offerings of those who claim to have
been healed of their infirmities by the
miraculous power of this wonderful
child.
Here are repetitions in wax of manned
limbs; pictures of people rescued from
burning houses; of children who fell
from windows, receiving no harm; of
men drowning in swollen streams, saved
by the sight of this little child appearing
on the brink Before the altar NAV
always be seen a kneeling throng, for the
hearts of great many of the people have
opened and taken in love for and a
faith in this wonderful little wooden doll.
At times there have been rumors of the
bambino having been stolen, or, because
OF its displeasure at the sins of the peo-
pie, having Withdrawn itself from sight.

The Neptune.s Head.

Above u butchers stall on the west
side of prosaic Washington market
stands Il peculiar relic. 1t is beauti-
fully carved idyllic head of Neptune,
and once upon a time it graced the PROV
of some long gone clipper. Covered
with CRIME and festooned with cobwebs,
it looks down from its perch with the
same craven smile with which it once
met tempest and calm alike. 1t is cut
from block of English oak, and the
craftsman who fashioned it was a mas
ter hand, for it has the breadth of treat
ment and frmness of detail of an an
tique Grecian brist. Properly mounted
it would make a most effective orrla-
ment for mantelpiece or center table,
and in the hands of a curiosity collector
who knows his business would undoubt-
edly bring a stiff price.-New York

intervention can save her. If you must
come to this big city to earn your living
seek first the companionship of Christian
people. BY Christian people | do not
mean church members necessarily. but
all such as have lofty standards and
strive to live up to them. Earnest, clean
hearted, pure lived people are the best
Christian people and make the best com
rades. Never be ashamed to stand for
your principles.
If you have been brought up to say
your prayers before retiring do not be
turned from the practice by the laughter
of fools. Be as brave as the little hero
in "Tom Browns Schooldays,'' who
dared to stand by his colors in the face of
a swarm of tormenting boys. Be courte-

Nations Once Grent.

From old writings many curious facts
are obtained. Among other things it
would seem that Corea, today more dead
than alive, was at one time formidable
power, military and naval; that the Jap
anese at long intervals changed from
peaceable neighbors into marauders and
freebooters worthy of Sir Walter Raleigh.
Frobisher and Drake; that Manipur, As
sam, Burmah and Tonquin at various
epochs were strong belligerent commu-
mites in the far east; that Cambodia and
Cochin China were populous, rich and
warlike civilizations. where now the
tiger prowls and the serpent glides; that
the island of Ceylon was the scene of
brilliant and brave dynasties, which fol-
lowed one another like the waves. on the
shore, and at times the Tartar nomads
who live to the north, northeast and west
of Asia were gathered into great armies
and nations by unknown Tamerianes and
Zenghis Khans.-Philadelphia Times.

Reciting the Liturgy.

When Prince George of Wales took
command of the gunboat Thrush he also
took upon himself the usual duty of con-
Quoting the religious service on the YES
sci on Sunday mornings. Everything
went on well apparently, but at the end
of about four weeks some one suggested
to the prince that he was not reciting
the liturgy according to Cranmer, al
though the ships company was highly
-4attered by his rendering. He had been
reciting fervently and humbly, 1--WE
have done those things that we ought to
have done, and have left undone those
those things which we ought not to have
done" and the crew had been accepting
his statement of the case and feeling
good.-San Francisco Argonaut.

The Origin of a Famous Tree.

In the famous West Philadelphia Bar
tram Botanical gardens there flourishes
an enormous Florida swamp cedar, the
trunk of which is fully six feet in di-
ameter. This tree was planted under
very peculiar circumstances, well worthy
of narration. One day, many years ago,
the great Bartram was riding through
the state of marshes and aligators, and
the beast he bestrode was very Roci-
nante. So, to accelerate his journey, he
dismounted at neighboring swamp and
cut a switch, with which he belabored
to good effect the lean and hungry steed.
The switch did such good service upon
this occasion that he preserved it, and
upon his return to Philadelphia planted
it in his garden, and the huge swamp
cedar is the switch.

Health of the Survivor. Of the wa,

While the health of some men have
been improved by their military service
during the war, even to the preservation
of lives that would have been lost had
the owners remained exclusively in civil
life, the health of the average veteran
has been deteriorated by his service, and
that he suffers more from illness and has
somewhat less expectation of life than
other men of his age. This conclusion,

RICHMOND. Ind, Nov. 29.-About five

George Morton Harris, came TO Richmond
and at once began making love to Mrs.
Maggie Rogers, a comely woman of African
descent. who keeps q restaurants on North
East street. She had promised to marry

sole aim was to get possession of her prop
erty, tried to persuade her to have nothing
90 do with him; however. without avail.
Then more effective measures were tried.
Last night Morton. who was about
to enter the residence of Mrs. Rog-
ers, was seized by three men, who tied
q handkerchief over his mouth and hustled
him into-a carriage waiting. They drove
about four miles east of the city. and here
his oaptors produced q rope, and. putting
the moose about his neck, informed him
that the people would not permit q white
man TO marry q colored woman. By this
time he was completely terrorized and
begged for his life. The carriage was
stopped under q tree and the rope thrown
over o limb. They finally agreed to release
him on condition that he leave Richmond
at once and pay no further attention to
Mrs. Rogers. This morning he babe Mrs.
Rogers goodbye and took the train for
Dayton. declaring that he would be killed
if he remained here.

THE HOLMES COMET.

One of the Most Remarkable Heavenly
Bodies Seen I'm Years-fts Unique Features.
LICK OBSERVATORY. Cal, Nov. 29.-The
Holmes comet has been observed here since
Nov. 8, but the stormy weather has pre-
vented observations every night of the
past week except one. Its position In the
sky has been accurately measured by Prof.
Scnaeberly with q meridian. and by Prof.
Barnard with a twelve-inch telescope. The
latter has also secured q good photograph
OF the comet. Mr.. Campbell has observed
Its spectrum usually and ph~otographically
with the great equatorial. The observations
show that in many respects it is the most
remarkable comet of recent years. On
Nov. 3 its diameter was one-sixth of the
moons diameter. It vas so sharply
defined, rounded and dense that it resem-
bled a planetary nebular. Near the center
OF the ball, called the coma. was an un-
usual nucleus, slightly elongated. Diverg-
ing from the nucleus In the direction op-
pOslte the sun Was q dense fan.llke struct-
ure which could be traced up to the edge
Of the coma. and it was visible even be-
yOnd the edge when the bright coma was
Just outside the telescope. This structure
was the tail of the comet in embryo, which
has since increased considerably In length.

underlying there is certainly a trace of the
green band in which respect observations
here diher from those reported from other
o~bservatories. The apparent size of
the comet has continually increased
until now it is about two-thirds the diame-
ter of the moon. 1t ls quite diffused and
elongated, and has the appearance of an
ordinary comet. Though it has grown
larger, it has also grown fainter aud is
barely visible to the naked eye. Comet
observers agree 1t is not Biela's comet, nor
is il approaching the earth. In fact, it 10
moving in an ellipse around the sun. Its
orbit seems to lie entirely outside tho

approach us even as closely az Mars docs.

structed counsel yesterday TO contest his
fathers will, ard this act may rave had
something to do with the appearance of the
pamphlet to-day. The dowsger Duchess's
relations to the Duke before marriage were
the subject of much gossip on both sides of
the Atlantic. The couple visited Am erica
in 1883. and were married on March 4. in
Florida.
In her pamphlet the dowager Duchess
Gays that she and the Duke were advised
that it would be we'll for them to a. q
record of the events of the last three years.
She has, therefore. written a true account
of those events. aided by diaries ana let
ters. The dowager Duchess then proceeds
TO state that she became engaged TO marry
the Duke IN February, 1859. The Duke
wrote TO his three children announcing the
engagement and expressing the hope that

piness. The Duke saw before him q
wretched prospect for the summer. and
persu AIDED the writer to be married in
March. in order that they might spend the

sacked the place. leaving the private
rooms bare of ornaments. The Duchess
made advances toward a Cancellation with
the children. She received no response.
Lady Alexander. instead of responding to

TO her father. The Marquis of Stafford
quarreled over his father granting Titten-
sor as q dover house for the Duchess aud
tried to h art his fathers wishes In every
way. The Marquis of Stafford himself o.
cupied Tittensor. When the Duke asked
for the use of the house for the sake of the
Duchess's health the Marquis of Stafford
sent an insulting answer, When the Duke
and Duchess visited the family residence
at Lilieshall, Shropshire, the Marquis of
Stafford wrote that for once he would al

would leave the place. ALI through the
pamphlet the Duchess gives the details
