Quaint and Queer.

The letter Q is superHuous alpha.
bette chsracter-a nondescript OF the
worst sort, and of no more real value in
expressing or helping to express
thoughts in writing than one of the
Chinese word signs would be. It
never ends an English word and can.
not begin one without the aid Of the
letter u, being invariably followed by
the last mentioned letter in all words
belonging to our language. The man
doesn't live who can tell the "why" OF
the peculiar relation OF the letters q
and u, or why the former was given its
peculiar names. Some argue that its
name was applied because of the tail
or cue at the bottom of the letter, but
the original q, when sounded just as il
is to-day, was made without the cue,
the character much resembling the
English sign for pounds.

Beware Of Fruit Skins.


From "sanitartan." in Demorest Magazine.
With regard to the eating Of fruit
an important caution must be given !:
Fruit skins carry germs and are no
more intended for sustenance than
potato skins, melon rinds or pea pods.
The bloom OF the peach is q luxuriant
growth of microbes; that OF the grape
only less 80; and when these skine are
taken into the stomach they find most
favorable conditions for their lively
and rapid development, which causes
the decay Of the fruit before it is pos
sible to digest it. This is the reason
that many persons think they cannot
eat raw fruit. If they would in all
cases Discard the skin they would de.
rive only good from the fruit itself.
Nature provides the skin for the pro-
lection of the fruit from the multitude
OF germs that are ever ready to attack
it, as is evidenced when the skin is
bruised or broken in any way. The
microbes at once begin their work oil
decay, and the fruit is unfit for food
Children are chief offenders in respect
to this rule, and should be carefully
watched and frequently cautioned. A
daintiness as to the condition OF fruit
should also be cultivated, to preven,
its being eaten unripe, or too old, on
the verge of decay. Remember tha'
it is sweet and ripe fruit, in prime con
dition only, that is recommended.

sive immigration from Europe, have
been reduced so low by the hard times
that they cannot live according to
their standard, and now they have
struck, hoping by making times worse
to get better pay. Now is the time
when the labor agitator gets the
glory. He travels from city to city,
lodging at fashionable hotels. He
handles the funds furnished by
sympathizing organizations. He hints
at possible violence if capital shall
not recognize the rights of labor, and,
when the line is finally broken and the
State takes a hand, he says ne
counselled moderation" and "tried
to restrain the men," The whole
trouble at present is that demagogues,
often very bright men, by showing
passion in their speeches and indulg-
ing in empty talk on the betterment
Of the race can blind the eyes OF
thousands OF people and gain for
themselves power and riches which
they never share with the mob.

Eating Soap.

Perhaps you think you never do it,
but if you were to take trip to Paris
you might eat soap before you were
aware of it. A French chemist has re-
Gently discovered that the coniection-
ers of Paris are using soap for their
charlotte russes and c-sam cakes in
stead OF real cream. and no one ever
knows the difference. A quantity Of
soap is dissolved in hot water and
when cold is beaten to stiff foam,
with a few drops of oil Of poppies, un.
til it is stiff and just like whipped
cream, 1t is then sweetened and beat
en- again and used like real cream. 1t
is not very healthiul, and so the Paris
board of health has ordered that it be
stopped, and the chemists are busy
finding all confectioners who Use the
soap mixture in their candies and
cakes.

1.-THE safeguards adopted by the
Bank of England to prevent that in
stitution being robbed are about as
thorough and complete as human in
genuity and mechanism can devise" !"
said Marvin o. Todd, of Manchester,
England, to a st. Louis Globe Democrat
reporter. "Its outer doors are so
finely balanced that clerk by pressing
a knob under his desk can close them
instantly, and they cannot be opened
again except by special process. The
bullion department is nightly SUBJ
merged in several feet of water by the
action of machinery, and in some Of
the banks the bullion department is
connected with the managers sleeping
apartments, so that an entrance can
not be effected without setting off an
alarm near this persons head. If a
dishonest official during the day or
night should take even one from pile
OF thousand sovereigns, the whole
pile would Immediately sink and q
pool OF water take its place, besides
letting every one in the Office know Of
the theft"
