1t Is reported that Mr.. Clarkson, who

about to start a free silver organ.
Senator-elect Steve Elkius, of West
Virginia, has proclaimed himself in
favor of free coinage. In Tennes-

Memphis for convention of sound
money advocates has been answered
from Nashville by the passage of a

EXPORTED AMERICAN COAL
The New York Times says: "a
correspondent of the Manufacturers
Record, who is returning from q
journey through the South American
countries and who has arrived at
Santa Lucia, in the West Indies,
writes from Castries, an important
coaling station, that Virginia coal is
now largely used there. 1T can be
laid down here,' he says, 'for 20
shillings ton, against % shillings
for Welsh coal which it is displac-
ing. This is the entering WEDGE
he adds, to an extensive coal trade.
With proper effort, this and other
Southern coal can be everywhere
used in these countries and at all
these important coaling stations.'"

important whether as exhibiting the
power of the Standard Oil Co. to

10000 barrels below the daily de.
hlalds OF consumption. In place of
the oil wells which have been en-
hauSted new supplies cannot be
found. Proprietors are hunting M

Fruit as Medicine.

Why for ages have people eaten apple sauce with their roast goose and sucking pig? Simply because the acids and pectones in the fruit assist in digesting the fats so abund ant in this kind of food. For the game reason at the end of heavy dinner we eat our cooked fruits and when we want their digestive action even more developed we take them after dinner Tn their natural un- cooked state as dessert. Tn the past ages instinct has taught men to do this; to day science tells them why they did it, and this same science tells us that fruit should be eaten as an aid to digestion of other other foods much more than it is now. Cultivated fruits, such as apples, pears, cherries, strawberries, grapes, etc., contain on analysis very similar proportions of the same ingredients. which are about one per cent of malic and other acids, and one per cent of flesh forming albuminoids, with over eighty per cent of water.-Scte'1tiTc 44Rer1cul1..
