VALUE OF FRUITS.
What a Noted Medical Authority Has
to say.

~ says
Edible fruits are not medicines; but
they may be understandingly used to
bring about remedial effects. They are
Invaluable adjuncts for the table, and
should always be used in their ripe and
perfect condition. They may be roughly
classed as follows:
Laxatives-Figs oranges, nectarines,
tamarlnds, prunes, plums, mul berries,
dates.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, cranber-
rleS, barberrieS, wild cherries. black ber-
rIes, sunac, ounces, medlars, dew berries,
raspDerrles, pears.
Dluretlcs-Strawbe pricllly pears.
grapes, black currantS, Whortleberries
peaches, melon seeds.
Keirlgerants and Sedatives-Pump-
klns, red and white currants, melons.
lemons, lines. apples.
A noted medical authority on the vaIua
OF fruits has this 10 say:
Taken early in the morning. an ORANGE
acts very decidedly as laxative, some
umeS amounting to purgatiye. and NAV
generally be relied on.
Fomegranates are very astringent and
relieve relaxed throat and uvula. The bark
OF the root, IN the form of decoction, is
good anthelmintic, especially abnoxious
to tapeworm.
Figs, split open, form excellent poul-
tlces for Dolls and small abcesses. Straw
berries ana lemons locally applied are Of
some service in the removal of tartar
from teeth.
Apples are correctives useful in nausea
Ihey immediately relieve the nausea due
to smoking. Bitter almonds contain hy-
drocyanlc acid, and are useful in simple
cough; but they frequently produce a
sort OF urtlcaria or nettle rash. The per
summon, or diospyros, is palatable when
ripe, but the green fruit is highly astring-
ent, containing much tannin, and is used
IN dlarrhea and incipient dysentery. The
OH OF the cocoanUt has been recommended
as substitute for cod liver oil. and is
much used in Germany for phthisis.
Barberrles are very agreeable to fever
patients in the form of drink. Dutch
medlars are astringent and not verv
paIataDle. Grapes and raisins are nutri-
i've and demulcent, and very grateful in
The sick chamber. A so-called ''grape
cure" has been much lauded for the
treatment of congestions of the liver and
stomach. enlarged spleen, scrofula, tuber-
culosis, etc. Nothing is allowed but
water and bread and several pounds of
grapes per diem. Ounce seeds are de-
mulcent and astringent; boiled in water
they make an excellent soothing and
sedative lotion in intiammatory diseases
OF the eyes and eyelids.

The Boy sharnshooter.

"Speaking of good rifle shots" said
John Hawkins, Il wore the gray at An
tetam IN 1862, and the prettiest SHOOTING
l ever saw occurred on that day. There
was tall tree on the banks of the An
tietam, and an old Marylander's cottape
was situated just at its foot. The old man
was away and had left a I4-year-old bov
to take care of the family. This boy had
managed to climb up into the forks of
this tree, and had probably been at work
on his scheme several days before the
armies came up, for when they got on the
ground he had intrenched himself up in
the forks of the tree with feather beds.
pillows and holsters, apparently four or
five deep, all around him. He had pre-
pared for siege, too, with both ammuni-
ton and food. When the Union army
came within range, his old squirrel rifle
picked OF more subordinate officers in a
few hours than the army had lost before
in weeks. No amount of counter-firing
did any good. He would get his old blum
derbuss reloaded, and with close scrutiny
you could see its long barrel creep out
over his lmprovlSed rampant. and as sure
as the crack of the rifle came moan and
q dead lieutenant or other officer would
follow. The Antletam, at the point where
the battle was fought, is narrow. but it is
very deep, and there seemed really no
way to dislodge the tearfully destructive
enemy, so the L Union army actually with
drew till the artillery could run up a gun
and train it on the spot. And will you
believe me? the young sharpshooter
actually killed two of the gunners and
wounded third, and almost produced
panic before he was dislodged. He was
literally blown to pieces at last, but not
till he had created CONSERVATION in the
ranks OF the Union army.';-St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.

FESTIVAL OF THE SEASONS.

Charming Entertain ment at the West
minister Presbyterian Church.
The entertainment given at the West
minister Presbyterian Church, entitled
the "Festival of the Seasons" was well
attended and patronized last evening,
Notwithstanding the stormy nature OF the
weather.
The classroom of the church was a
wilderness of booths, tables and decora-
tions, and many of the features of the
entertainment were original ana pleas
ing.
The Circulating Library caused con-
siderable amusement, and was under the
supervision OIL. Il. Nandercook, Libra
rian." The library" consisted OF SIX
teen unique volumes of various sizes,
ages and gender, which stood upon
shelves especially arranged 1or them,
with their backs to the audience, neatly
bound and labeled.
These books were mostly selected
from the classics and were successlyely
busted, taken down from the shelves ana
quoted from by the Librarian.
Upon careful investigation the"hbrary"
was found to be made up of people OF the
church, and the RECORD UNION reporter
learned that the books were catalogued as
follows:
Burns POEMS" William Wardlaw;
"Chestnuts,'' w. A. Gilbert; Jenny
Howard Mcintyre; Looking Back
ward" William Gibson; dickens" :"
James Laidlaw; "Longfellow," NJ. T.
Davis; "McCauley's History" Frank
Valentine; ben Hur," Miss Jessie Lo-
gan; Choice Selections" Miss Josie
Knight; Mrs. Browning" Miss Nellie
Miller; Selections" Miss Jennie Miller;
tGnJl Il N1ar Gtat
"Black Beauty" Forest Johnson.
Some of these volumes were quite rare,
and would have brought good sum had
the fnancier of the occasion offered them
for sale.
In the four corners of the room booths
representing the four seaSons-spring,
summer, autumn and winter-were ar
ranged, each being very picturesque. Or
namental and useful in its particular way.
AT two of them choice works of art and
tinery were offered for sale, all marked
in plain figures and many very useful
and ornamental articles were on sale and
disposed of to purchasers.
At the winter booth very nice coffee,
sandwiches and cake were offered, and at
the summer booth ice-cream made it in
teresting for young men caught in the
vicinity.
One table was presided over by the
Juvenile members of the Young Peoples
Society OF Christian Endeavor, and they
seemed to enjoy generous patronage.
The articles on their table, a very taste
full collection, were made by the children
themselves, and consisted of various
things useful and ornamental, too numer-
Gus to write about.
The festival was arranged through the
efforts of Mrs. Julia Lightner, Mrs. G.
IL. Williams and Mrs. K. NJ. Stevenson,
assisted by the Young Peoples Society
of Christian Endeavor. Miss Effie Hess
presided at the piano for the evening, and
vocal selections were given by Miss
Ida Church and others.
The festival will be repeated this even
ing, and is deserving of liberal patron
age.

SOLONS OF THE PAST.
Some Famous University Professors in
Days of Old.

Among the most famous physicians of
the l University of Alexandria were Gle
ombrotus, Herophiius and Erasistratus,
and among the subordinate physicians
was Philostephanus, who had charge of
the natural history department Of the
museum, and who wrote book on fishes.
The researches of the physicians were
founded upon the only sure and certain
basis OF anatomy. They We're authorized
by the royal authority of Ptolemy to re-
sort to the dissection of the dead and to
ascertain by that only trustworthy
method the correct structure of the hui
man body. They were also authorized to
make vivisections of criminals who had
been condemned to death, in order that
they might ascertain the mode in which
the various functions of the body were
performed.

Colonel John B. Weber went to Europe
some time since on behalf of the United
States government to find out what
makes Europeans come to America at
the rate of from 100000 to 100000 q
year. He finds that they migrate to Us
because of two things, namely, the Sc
we're demands on them for military sery-
ice and the low wages for work. Euro
pean newspapers are, as rule, not
friendly to American emigration, and
say not much about the advantages
which poor working people will gain in
this country, but the masses find it out
somehow for themselves, probably from
letters of relatives already here, and 50
they swarm over the ocean to us.
