Ths selection or Fru:t.

Care should be exercised in the selec-
tion Of fruit. as it is just rs easy and D.
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 piarcd 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 tie
bad and poor stock which lie has. The
peddler viii search the wholesale market
through for 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 Oh their arrival at home.
The good stock is held to attract the
late trade. If you watch peanut PED
der just after he has located Oh a corner
for business you will see him with "a
paper sack in hand picking ont the dis
coiored nuts, which win go to the first
customers. and so it is with all h1ck-
sters. Pick your own goods and then

In the old church Of Ara Celia, near
the top Of the capitol steps id the
city Of Rome, is little treasury room
where the sacred vestments are kept.
and where, in wonderful little respos-
itory, lies a 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 Oh sufferers who believe Ia it,
miraculous power to heal and bless. In
this old church, around the altars. 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 may
always be seen a kneeling thrUng, for The
hearts Of d 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, becanse

The emancipating force had found
him. He was free of his Mormonism.

We could not check ourselves to think
Of him. Our thoughts We're galloping
