Proper Time to Eat Fruit.

t The proper time to eat fruit is IN
connection with meals. especially at
breakfast and dinner. 1t should be
supplied in generous measure with
those two repasts, either in its natural
state or simply cooked. In either. OF
those ways it will be found easy OF dl-
gestion, agreeable TO the system a
Corrective Of many demeralized condl,
tions and most highly relished by all
appetites of normal condition. There
has come into vogue of late years what
may be termed almost a fad for the
production of strangely compounded
things, in the form of sauces and re.
fishes of one namo and another, OF
which fruits form the foundation, but
which are so disguised by the addition
of spicings and other foreign 1ngre-
dients that the original fruit is practl-
cally lost to sight and taste. Let 1T be
understood, once for all, that these
things are no longer fruits, and are
not to be considered such, and can IN
no manner or degree yield the beneh-
c1al results to be derived from the use
of fruit. Good Housekeeping.

The Intelligent Ant.

Of all very small creatures the ant
appears to be the most gifted
with intelligence. One of the
proofs of this is the way in which in a
battle they carry off their dead. This
they do as carefully as real soldiers,
caring for them in the rear out OF dan
ger. They will help each other fight
and never mistake friend for foe, even
in the dark. They march in regular
army way and have officers, and have
no doubt give orders in some way. An
other thing found out about the ants is
that they keep pets. The pet is q
kind of cat or dog of the family-a
very small ant not quarter as big as
the usual sort. Sometimes they
get on the backs of the others,
between their legs and all
around and about, and remind us OF
little kittens and pups that our chill
dren have to play with. The ant loves
fun ; he takes another ant up in his
arms, carries him awhile and then
filings him down all in a heap, and
then they go on their way as happy as
two school boys who have had q
wrestle. The ants keep nurses. These
are ants which the others have cap
tured in war. They are made to wait
on the wounded. Chicago Herald.

The Jelly.Fish is a Wonier.

The jelly-fsh lays thousands Of tiny
eggs, which, being covered with nat
ural oars in the shape of numerous
hairs, row themselves into some quiet
place and settle down to await further
developments. These eggs do not
turn to ielly-ish any more than the
butterfy's eggs turn to butterfly.
First the stem springs from each and
then the stem subdivides into numer-
GUS branches, each branch being COW
cred with tiny cups, the mouth of each
surrounded with small arms technically
called "tentacles. This is the first
stage of the jelly-fsh's life. Now
comes the wonderful part of the story.
As the warm weather advances this
stem, which grew from the original
egg and branched out like vegetable
growth, begins to bud and from each
bud minute speck of animal life
springs forth-it is the young jelly
fish swimming out to test the doctrine
of "survival of the fittest," and to do
battle with the innumerable other
forms of organized beings.-St. Louis
Republic.

Height of Different Nations.

An article in the. Bulletin de Pin
stitut International de Statistique
gives, as the result of careful inquiry,
the average height of different Ma
tions. The following are some of the
conclusions arrived at: The English
professional classes, who head the list
as the tallest of adult males, attain the
high average of five feet nine and a
quarter inches. Next on the list come
the males of classes of the United
States, and a minute fraction behind
them come the English of all classes.
Hence we may conclude that, taken
right through, the English and Ameri.
can races are approximately of the
same height. Most European Nations
average for the adult male five feet six
inches; but the Austrians, Spaniards
and Portuguese just fall short of this
standard

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs. =. (.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation;
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
news, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
rists in soc and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup OF Figs,

The Worlds Fair POstOffice.

The growth of the United States
mail service has been very rapid since
the earlier days of the Exposition, when
one carrier from the Chicago Postoftice
was able to handle the enSire business
and still have time to spare. At pres
ent Jackson Park and the Midway Plai-
sance are divided into ten free-delivery
districts. The "World's Fair Station"
as it is designated by the postal au-
thorities, occupies the southwest cor
ner of the Government Building, and
forms the working exhibit of that de-
partment. In appearance and manage
ment it is similar to many other first
class offices throughout the country,
every facility for the prompt and sys-
tematic handling of mail being pro-
vided.
AS an exhibit, it is an active one.
Thirty clerks and twenty-eight carriers
are 30 busy in their efforts to keep
abreast with the great volume of busi-
ness done that it has been necessary to
call for more assistance. Two wagons
are required for the delivery of second
and third-class matter alone. A stand
ard railway postal car, equipped with
all improvements, stands in a space
back Of the large working-room, and
on this are made up the foreign mails,
which are very heavy; also those for
points outside of Chicago. The men
who work on this car are veterans in
tho service, selected from various i'm
portant routes, and are changed to
meet the constantly shifting require
ments; for instance, the New York
mails are at present the heaviest, and
for that reason it has been necessary
to bring on number of railway mail
clerks familiar with Eastern Offices and
lines.
Over one million pieces of frst-class
and seven hundred thousand of second
class matter are despatched monthly.
The mail received in the same length
of time amounts to about nine hundred
thousand each of first and second-class
matter. A money-order business of
$50, 900 is transacted, and more than
$11, 900 worth of stamps is sold per
month. The work of the Office is in
creasing at a very rapid rate, and its
earnings are more than three times as
great as its expenses. 1t is sub-sta-
ton of the Chicago Postofice, with j.
j. Hastings as superintendent.

QUAKER OMELET.

When care is taken in preparing,
this is handsome and sure dish. Three
eggs, half cupful of milk, one and
half tablespoonfuls of corn starch, one
teaspoonful of salt, one tablespoonful
of butter. Put the omelet pan and
q cover that will fit closely on to heat.
Beat well together the yolks OF the
eggs, the corn starch and the salt;
beat the whites to stiff froth, ad d to
the we'll beaten yolks and corn starch.
Stir all together thoroughly and add
the milk. Put the butter in the hot
pan; when melted pour in the mix
ture, cover and place on the stove
where it will brown but not burn. Cook
about seven minutes, fold, turn on a
hot dish and serve with cream sauce
poured around it. If the yolks and
corn starch are thoroughly beaten, and
if, when the stiff whites are added,
they are well mixed, and the cover and
pan are very hot, there can hardly be
failure. New York Ledger.
