Apples as Food.

Chemically, the apple is composed of
vegetable fiber, albumen, sugar, gum.
chlorophyl, maiic acid, gallic acid, lime
and much water; and the German an
alysts claim that the apple contains a.
larger percentage of phosphorus than
any other fruit or vegetable This
phosphorus is admirably adapted for
renewing the essential nervous matter
-lethicin-of the brain and spinal
cord. 1t is, perhaps, for the same rea-
son, rudely understood that old
Scandinavian traditions represent the
apple as the food of the gods, who.
when they felt themselves growing
feeble and infirm, resorted to this fruit
for renewing their powers of mind and
body. Also, the acids of the apple are
of signal use for men of sedentary hab-
its, whose livers are sluggish in action,
these acids serving to eliminate from
the body noxious matters, which if re-
tained, would make the brain heavy
and dull, or bring about jaundice or
skin eruptions and other allied trou-
bles. 1t is also the fact that such fresh
fruits as the apple, pear and plum,
when taken ripe and without sugar.
diminish acidity in the stomach rather
than provoke it. A good ripe, raw
apple is one of the easiest of vegetable
substances for the stomach to deal
with, the whole process of its digestion
being completed in eighty-five minutes.

POnltrY Notes.


Fowls that get no milk need more
meat
Let the young poultry have free
range as soon as possible.
Feed only soft feed in trough, scatter
grain of all kinds on the ground.
Cooked foods fattens more readily
because it is more thoroughly digested.
Poultry should be fed fat-producing
food for several days prior to market4
ing.
Charcoal is blood purifier, and
should be kept where the hens can get
it.
When duck eggs are set under hen
it is best to make the nest on the
ground.
Ducks grow faster than chickens,
are free from vermin and less liable to
disease.
Feed for growth or for eggs and not
merely for subsistence if poultry is to
pay profit.
Always have the nests so that the
hens can walk into them rather than
jump down.
Feed and water the setting hens
regularly, and have grit and dust
bath in the room.
Hens should never be fed so we'll
that when they are given good range
they will not forage good portion OF
the time.-KanSaS Farmer.

CARE OF THE WARDROBE.
Some Timely Suggestions About the Put

Some Timely Suggestions About the Put
ting Away of Summer Finery.
1t is an accepted fact among women,
founded upon good reason, that when
ones belongings are valuable and
costly the services of maid are not a
luxury, but necessity and really an
economy. Delicate fabrics need great
care in handling and preserving, and
fine boots, shoes, gloves and handker-
chiefs are not to be tossed about care
lessly and still preserve their fresh
ness. But, without a maid and with a
comparatively simple wardrobe, a need
of care even will be found great pro-
lection. In putting away summer wash
dresses they must be rough dried, then
folded neatly and packed in box or
trunk by themselves 1t is an excel
lent idea to go over each one and take
the few mending stitches that are
sure to be needed. Challies, crepons
and summer silks should be carefully
shaken and brushed, spots sponged,
bows of ribbon taken off and unmade
if possible, or the dust carefully wiped
off with bit of silk dipped in weak
ammonia water, and packed away in
separate boxes. The same rule applies
where laces trim the dresses. If these
are washable they should be washed,
otherwise shaken and wound around
bottle or wooden roll. 1t is a good
plan to let the dresses hang wrong side
out in the air, all of a sunny morning
if you live in hotel to hang in hot
room the same length of time is a good
substitute. Rumpled ruches, shields
and bent bones should be taken from
waists, and a skilled maid says the
waist Innings should be brushed down
every seam with cologne and water.
Feathers and flowers should be taken
from the hats and bonnets, wrapped
carefully and separately in tissue paper,
and consigned to boxes where they
will not be crushed. The flowers should
have each leaf pulled out, and if
breathed on before using again will be
found fresh as ever. Parasols ought to
be rolled, but have a loose slip cover
put on after they are carefully wiped,
on if gauze. hirted free of dust with
silk handkerchief, and then stood in
some safe place and occasionally opened
to alter the folds.-Pittsburgh Dis

HERE AND THERE.

A young colt is an animal that
seems to meet with more accidents
than any other, and should be carefully
looked after until weaned.
1t costs something to grind the corn
for hogs, but if the corn is. soaked be-
fore feeding it will be more highly rel

dition for them.
Fall pigs should be farrowed this
month so as to give them start before
winter. If pigs are farrowed during
cold weather they are liable to be stunt
ed and make but slow growth.
Salt is beneficial to animals in
many ways. It is destructive to some
forms of parasites, and, when sulphur
is given occasionally with salt, worms
in the intestines may be prevented or
destroyed.
The farmer who takes up the sheep
business with the idea that the out
side of the animal is worth more than
the inside-the wool more than the
carcass-gets hold of it at the wrong
end. Mutton first and then wool.
If you think it too dry to plow 1t Is
an excellent time to haul out the ma
nure that has accumulated during the
summer. Clean out all sheds ana
corners. The manure is only leaching
there. On the ground for next years
crop, it will do some good.
Formerly there was no mode OF
harvesting corn but to cut down the
stalks by hand, but the corn harvester
come to stay and is saving labor.
But little work is now necessary IN
growing a crop OF corn that can not DO
done with horse power and at but
small outlay for labor compared with
the work of former years.
If your manure pile is under the
caves of the barn the best investmens
you can make with a dollar is TO geo
some troughing the first time you go 10
town and hang it SO it will carry the
water beyond where the manure Is
piled. Do this much at least TO save

Manuring Land or Crop

AS the country grows older there is
always increasing tendency to apply
special manurss for each crop, rather
than to fertilize the soil for all pur-
poses and ALLOW each crop to take what
it needs. The tendency is very strong
IN grain farming, to which commercial
and mineral fertilizers are best adapted.
Vegetables need large amounts of
nitrogen, which can not well be held
IN the soil unless it has plentiful sup
ply OF vegetable matter. In that case
the soil mHst bs made permanently

IS hCS Says GildJ luS
Sinaitic mountains have wadys, or
water courses-Alleyat and Aielah-
emptying into Feiran. But those
streams are not navigable. No boat
put into those rocky streams could sail.
But have to tell you this day that
the boat of Gospel rescue comes right
up amid the water courses of Sinaitic
gloom and threat, ready to take us
off from under the shadows into the
calm sunlight Of Gods pardon and into
the land of peace. Oh, if you could
see that boat of Gospel rescue coming
this day, you would feel as John Gil
more, in his book. The Storm War
riors, says that a ships crew left on
the Kentish Knock Sands, off the
coast of England, when they were
being beaten to pieces and they all
felt they must die! They haa given up
all hope, and every moment washed
off another plank from the wreck, and
they said: 1--WE must die, we must
die!' But after awhile thev saw a
Ramsgate lifeboat coming through the
breakers for them, and the man stand
ing highest up on the wreck said: Can
it be? Can it be? 1t is, it is. it is, it is,
Thank God! 1t is the Ramsgate lifeboat!
1t is, it is, it is, it is" And the old
Jack tar, describing that lifeboat to
his comrades after he got ashore, said:
'Oh, my lads, what beauty it did
seem, coming through the breakers
that awful dayr' May God, throrsI.

How the Panic was stopped.

Horace McPhee, who Is here as River
side county commissioner, says there
was no furry whatever about the Bank
of Elsinore. And then McPhee told a
story which is particularly pat at these
times.
He said there was a run on bank in
an iron mill town, and the depositors
were being paid in silver dollars. The
excitement increased, and the run be.
came fast one. The cashier was q
young Irishman, and the work put upon
him was more than he liked. He re-
solved to stop it. He sent the janitor
with bushel OF silver dollars into rear
room where there was stove, with in
structions to cheat them silver dollars
redhot." They were heated, and in
that condition he handed them out with
ladle. The depositors first grabbed the
coin, then kicked. "But you'll have to
take them that way" said the cashier.
1--WE are turning them out as fast as we
can melt and mold them, and if you
won't wait till they cool you'll have to
take them hot"
That settled it, The run was stopped.
McPhee says the story is true, but de-
nies that he was the Irish cashier. San

An E.siish observer In Chicago.

1t Is only in tho far west probably
that the old race of spitters keep up the
best practice. In tho cities, at any rate,
you seldom see men who tilt back in
their chairs, pat their heels on the edinner
table and take the fire irons at 40 PAGES.
Civilization is progressing when you
must not talk about spittoons, bit de-
mand that utensil under the name OF
''cuspidor." Still the most prominent
notice in the Woman's building is, EDO
not spit on the floor" A man stood be-
side me as / read this. He wore slouch
hat, to which Buffalo Bill's would be
simply fashionable bonnet in size,
trickles of rich tobacco juice wattled his
mouth like barbel's, his boots were
models for coffin maker.
Noticing, I dare say, twinkle in the
corner of my eye, he said slowly and
with that grim, smileless humor befit-
ting slabsided hero from Indiana way,
"Say, now, do they mean that we mout
take shot at them picturesf" There is
certainly suspicion of local option sug-
gested in that sentence. Better to have
gone on the principle of some other no

expects to Have Arms GRATED to Him.

Expects to Have Arms Grated to Him.
Theodore Lee, the armless newsdealer,
who went east recently with vague
idea that he could get arms grated on
to his stumps, has been heard from. He
has been inquiring among specialists re-
garding his case, and he finds that he may
yet secure arms. First, the arms that
are to be grated on to his stumps must
be taken from healthy man or woman,
and the hope is held out to Mr.. Lee that
he may find some person-condemne6 to
be hanged, for jnstance-who would, for
81 900 say, to be given to relatives or
elfarity, allow an arm to be amputated
for grating purposes. Mr.. Lee has in
substance been informed that the splice
would have to be made just above the
elbow joint.
When Mr.. Lee has found a person
who will submit to the operation, they
will have to be brought together in such
position as to permit Of the arms Of
both, which are to be operated upon, be-
ing placed in plaster of paris casts so
that they cannot be moved. Then it is
proposed to cut the back part of both
the arms, also cutting through the bone.
The arm that is to be grated on to Mr..
Lees stump or that portion of it that
is cut away at the first operation is to
be adjusted and fastened to the stump
and allowed to remain until it heals and
there is evidence of circulation between
the stump and the part that is grated
on. The second operation will be the
cutting of the remainder Of the inside
portion of the arm, together with the
artery and the nerve. This operation,
it Is proposed, however, is not to be un-
dertaken until the surgeons are satisfied
that the circulation through the part of
the arm already grated on is sufficient
to nourish and support the new forearm.
