r1neappre culture.

The newest fad is to drink pineapple
Juice as an aid to digestion-a wineglass-
full in the morning before breakfast and
like amount any time through the day.
The pineapple juice fad appears to have
taken the place of the oatmeal craze.
which lasted so long.
At any rate, a wineglassful OF pineap-
pie juice in the morning is an improve
ment on the wineglassful or more of corn
Juice which so many citizens take as
supposed aid to digestion.
While the pineapple craze lasts those
who have secured plantations for grow
ing this luscious fruit will be able to lay
up some money. A syndicate of English
women has purchased tract of land in
Florida and will endeavor to turn itinto
a great pineapple plantation. There is
room for them, and also for as many
Americans as wish to engage in the same
kind of farming, for it would be hard
for mankind to use too much pineapple
Juice. The woody fiber of the fruit
should not be swallowed, only the pressed
out Juice. The sandy soil of Florida
has been found admirably adapted to
the culture. The young suckers are
split off from the sides of the large fruit
and set out much the same as strawberry
plants. In IS months from the time of
planting the first crop is gathered, and
the yield is abundant.
The manifesto issued by the national
liberal federation of Great Britain to
the people contains these words: "lf the
house of lords is faithful to its tradi-
tons and practice, it will capitulate. If
not, we of the Liberal party will enter
on fight of which we shall not be
| afraid"

Why is it that when the skin game
man wishes to victimize anybody by
means of the ancient and fishy smelling
device of palming off tin box of green
paper under the delusion that it con-
tains 81 500 worth of good counterfeit
bank bills, he always selects farmer?
A trio of rascals were recently captured
with 10 boxes of green paper, cut in the
shape of bank bills, and all their other
effects. Among those effects were books
marked on the outside, "Select lists of
farmers" from the neighborhood of
Springfield, 0. Ohio, too, of all states
in the Union-Ohio, that next to Massa-
chusetts prides herself on her general
intelligence and wide awake condition!
Is it any wonder that sharks and sharp
ers of all classes choose farmers for Their
prey, when the average ruraHst can b
imposed on by the superannuated device
of box of green paper in lieu Of coun
terfeit money? Of course it serves mar
exactly right if he should lose all the
money he has while he is engaged in
anything so dishonest as traffic in coun
terfeit money, but the exasperating part
is that any man is left in this Union who
is such fool.

The Three Cent Emperor.

Two years ago the emperor of Ger
many evolved scheme on which, when
he wakes up in the night to think about
it, he doubtless congratulates himself as
additional evidence of the wisdom Of
"me and the Almighty"
1t is nothing less than a plan for the
help of lone working females, so that
they may remember their emperor looks
after them like father. Every lady
who keeps domestic servant is obliged
to buy Of the government blank book
in which to paste certain stamps. The
government thus turns its little honest
penny. Further, every week the girl
stays in her service the lady must paste
into that book stamp worth 8 cents.
Thus she lays up cents week for her
hired girl. Week after week, year after
year, the SUN accumulates. It is meant
to take care of the domestic in sickness
and old age.
In one year it amounts to $1.56-all OF
$1.56. If after 10 years faithful serv-
ice tho girl falls i'll and stays SO for six
months, say, she can go and take vaca-
ton and be taken care of on $3.50. She
will in 10 years have laid up that amount.
If she has been in service 80 years and
becomes superannuated, she will have
$48.80 to maintain her the rest Of her
life. How good and great this idea is!

Hon. Amos J. Cummings of New York
has been the first man in any nation to
offer remedy for the large number Of
floating wrecks and derelicts that are
beginning to be a serious menace to the
safety of ocean steamers between Europe
and America. Representative Cummings
has introduced into congress joint res
olution empowering the president to
make an international agreement with
other countries for the purpose Of locat-
ing, marking and removing or destroy
ing these dangerous estrays.

A Tacoma man, George R. Cowls, is
said to be the inventor Of process for
making illuminating gas out Of wood.
From one cord Of wood he gets gas and
by products worth $48, SO it is claimed.
II this be true, then Washington state
can use up all its long tree stumps in the
manufacture of gas and get SO much
clear gain out of them.

When the hair begins to come out in
combing, it shows a weakness of the
scalp that calls for immediate attention.
The best preparation to arrest further
loss of the hair and restore the scalp to a
healthy condition is Ayers Hair Vigor.

France has belonging to her navy 81
torpedo boats that are capable of max

IS and Germany 50. Even Russia has
IA torpedo boats that can make 81 knots

starch out of our pride in the achieve

The Hot Water Fad.

The hot water cure for dyspepsia, indi.
gestion and kindred ailments Is by nc
means a novelty, but the manner in which
IL is habitually practiced at the country
home Of wealthy New York business
man Is certainly out of the ordinary. The
country home aforesaid is not more than
half an hours ride by rail from New Yorl,
and it is very attractive resort for tha
young friends of the hospitable owner.
few weeks ago member of one of the
athletic clubs in this city, young giant in
stature and n second Gladstone in physical
health and vigor, received d cordial invita-.
tion to spend few days at this country
mansion. He accepted with alacrty, and
presented himself before his host and host
ess mt the appointed time. He had most
agreeable time, but in narrating his expe-
rience to n chum few days after his re.
turn to the city he said: ut was jolly
visit. Everybody there was as nice as could
be, and Mr.. Is hospitality is simply deli.
cious But there was one thing that stag
gered me at the outset-that was their Gus
tom of drinking clear hot water
Each night before the family and guests
dispersed to their respective rooms IA ser.
want would appear in the drawing room
with pitcher of hot water and lot of
goblets. Everybody was expected to drink
a gobletful of that exhilarating beverage,
because the hot water cure is the special
fad of the host. Well, of course had no
use for hot water taken internally, but |
drank it, of course, as each Of the others
did. A second dose of the same liquid was
served to US in our rooms each morning
while we were dressing for breakfast. A
servant came around just after the rising
bell was rung and left small pitcher OF
hot water and goblet at each room. /
quietly poured my morning allowance
down the waste pipe of the washstand. -

They Wore Willing.

One Of the last important measures Of
the commonwealth of Massachusetts, be
fore Maine was made n state, was TO nego
tiate with the Penobscot Indians for the
purchase of their rights in large tract Of
forest land, and some very eminent gen
tlemen were selected to carry out the bar
gain. After the signing of the deed with
all due formality by the assembled saga
mores at Bangor it was necessary for then
to acknowledge it, es the legal phrase
is. One of the stately commissioners helG
up the paper and asked eff they acknowl
edged it to be their free act and deed"
The result was the red men gathered
their blankets around them and relapset
into n state of stoical indifference, giving
no sign of reply. General Blake, who wa.
present, had had much to do with the In
dians, and saw at once they did not under
stand what the formality required OF them
meant. Let me try" he said, taking the
paper. Turning to the head chief. he said
"You willing-and all the rest of the In
dams willings" "ouii Ouir' they all cried
in answer, showing us much of willingness
as they had hitherto of reserve.-Lewistor
