CANCER AND TOMATOES.

AS the season of the tomato is upon
us and as they constitute cheap and
very palatable food it is pertinent to
enquire what. if any, relationship exists
between cancer and the eating of toma.
toes There is widespread suspicion,
if not conviction, that the rapid in
crease of cancer is dependent largely
upon the very general use of this vege-
table. and many, because of such uncer-
tainty. forego the pleasure of eating
them. A great many enquiries have
been made OF the officers of the cele-
brated Brompton Cancer Hospital, Eng
land. After an investigation covering
two years, DR.. A. Marsden, Chairman
of the Medical Committee, says: ITO
matoes neither predispose to nor excite
cancer formation, and they are not in
furious to those suffering from the dis
ease. but ON the contrary are very
wholesome diet, particularly SO if
cooked"
This is good authority and we hope
the lover of the Glove APPLE" as it
used to be called will eat it devoid of
fear

EGYPTIAN MILLSTONES.

Wherever the people live on unbolted
wheat or rye flour or meal, they have
good teeth, bones. and muscles. we'll
remember when in Egypt. in 1884, the
little Arab girl at Thebes, who. with a
vessel of water upon her head. ran
over sand, stones, rocks, and hills as
we rode upon our donkeys to visit the
tombs of the kings; for she had splendid
teeth, sparkling eyes. and a beautiful
and well-developed waist, symemtrical
in form and graceful in every move
ment. On visit to the house of our Arab
dragoman. or guide. to lock at some
curiosities which had been obtained
from the tombs of the ancient Egyp-
tians, we saw two women grinding at a
mill and making the kind of flour
which that young girl ate. There were
two millstones, perhaps eighteen or
twenty inches in diameter, standing in
tray, with an opening through the
center of the upper one for pouring in
grain, and at the opposite sides erect
handles. The women took hold of
these handles and turned the upper
stone around and around. and back and
forth, and the flour or meal came out
between the outer edges of the stones.
I said TO our guide. 1--WE have not had
bit of good bread in Egypt. or at the
hotels at which we have been stopping
they think that tn ~ must furnish super
fine flour bread for foreigners to eat.
Now, l want you to make us a loaf
of bread from that flour and bring it to
our hotel tomorrow. and I will pay
you for your trouble" He did so, and
it was the best bread we had while in
Egypt.-N. Y. Tribune.

as an almost self-contained unit of ex-
istence are brought about by the devo-
tlon to his interests of the enlighten-
ment of the world. and the world in its
turn is more and more dependent on
him. His success or failure in the
Western States affects the earning of
the railroads, and through them the
financial condition of the Eastern and
European capitalist. The dependence
OF mankind ON the past and present pro-
ducts of the soil is becoming more and
more emphasized as modern science
daily proves itself capable of dispens-
ing with the slow processes of nature.
The field for science and invention in
improving farm processes is one of the
greatest. Mechanics and chemistry
will. every year, take larger part in
the operations dependent on plant cul-
ture, and future years may yet see SO
systematic system of farm and tree
culture established that the entire
country, with definite areas for partic-
ular crops, will seem but one great
farm, whose fields will be represented
by areas of many miles extent. As
steam and chemistry now do their most
important work in connection with
the crops, electricity may yet supplant
them, or re-enforce their operations.

THE HACKNEY HORSE.

The American opinion Of the hack
ney horse is matter of constant inter-
est in England. A recent issue OF the
Live stock Journal" says editorially
that "there is decided change in the
feeling that is evinced toward the hack
ney in the United States; for conider-
able time the importation of hackneys
into America was looked upon by the
opponents of the breed there as fad
on the part of some New York million
aire, who were, it is alleged, affected
with an admiration for anything that
was fashionable in England; the organs
of the trotting. horse were particularly
sarcastic in their references to the
hackney, but now the matter is being
regarded more seriously" The same
paper contains letter from a we'll
known breeder of Arab horses, Miss
Etheldred Dillon, who remarks: "It
is not every one in England that has
bowed to Baal in the shape Of the hack
ney, and Americans have such good
horses of their own breeds that I do
not wonder that they are not on their
knees to him. Country Gentleman.

HOW TO SOBER UP.

II you have ever been out with a
friend who has been drinking too much,
and you, sober and unwilling to leave
him until you get him home, are try
ing to persuade him to start for his
house, then you will appreciate the
situation in which l found myself not
long ago. I could do nothing with my
companion. and he was getting hope
lessly intoxicated. The drunken he got
the more obstinate he became. Finally
/ took him into an all.night restaurant,
hoping that cup of hot coffee would
partially sober him. By the time the
coffee came my friend was sound
asleep, with his head ON the table.
I was in despair, when the waiter
asked me if l wanted to get the man
sober. why, certainly l do" said I.
He took bottle of sweet oil from a
table and poured about gill of it into
one of the cups of coffee. MAKE him
drink that" said he, and walked off.
l reused my friend and induced him to
drink the whole cup of coffee without
stopping. The effect was magical. l
never saw any medicine act so quickly.
In ten minutes he spoke clearly, braced
up. got ashamed of himself. and started
home. l had never heard before of
that special use of sweet oil. and
always had to sober up in the old
fashioned way of going to bed in my
boots. with my hat hung on the gas
burner.

LYING.

According to the Psalmist. all men
and men embrace the women--are
liars. In fact, ten-ninths of the human
race can't tell the truth when they
see it.
Lying seems to be physical necessi-
ty. Men could not. if they would.
speak the exact truth. Very frequent
ly a mans disabilities are what make
him successful in business.
Truth crushed to earth will rise
again, but it will be late in the after
noon, after the days work is over.
The statement that truth is stranger
than fiction depends chiefly upon who
tells it.
An exchange. The Christian at
Work." says that to be humorous,
sprightly and witty it is not necessary
to be a liar, and in another column
appears the statement that friend of
the editor has taught ducks to swim
in hot water with such success that
they lay boiled eggs.
The lie a man can tell does not at all
depend on his size. A Tyre five feet
high has been found in the ruins of
Pompeii. We have bigger Tyres in
this country, but they are not spelled
that way.
George Washington could not tell
lie, and we wonder how he would have
got along if he had had to write liver
pad advertisements for living, or edit
the circulation announcements of some
of our great dailies.
The Inability of George to tell lie
left gap in our national system that
his fellow-countrymen have used every
exertion to fill.
Innocent little boys are often expert
liars. Did you break that window?'
said the grocer, catching hold of the
fleeing urchin. Eyes, sir" "What
do you mean, then. by running off in
this manner" PLEASE, sir, I was
running home to get money to pay for
it. was afraid if didn't run quick l
might forget
While lying is universal and fashion
able, it is nevertheless improper to call
gentleman liar; but you can say
that sometimes he suffers from spirit
of exaggeration; or, occasionally he
finds it difficult to confine himself
strictly to actualities; or, he is past
grand master in the pleasing art of
realistically romancing; or, he is given
to an artificial recollection of mislead-
ing statistics; but. under no circum-
stances. you really must not call him
liar, for if you do you will tell the
truth, and that is not in good FORM

A WHISTLlNG SNAKE.

The discovery by the Horn expedition
to the Mcdonnell Ranges, in Australia,
of remarkable specimen of natural
history called 'whistling spider"
whose popularity consists in producing
a whistling noise by the simple opera
ton of drawing its foreleg across its
jaws, seems at the moment to be out
done. Sir William Macgregor. the Al
ministrator Of British New Guinea, is
now in the field with another extraor-
dinary discovery whistling snake.
In his latest report Sir William says
that large number of deaths occurred
early this year in the Rigo district of
New Guinea from snake bite. The
administrator points out that the island
is infested by small species of black
snake, which is very fierce. The
natives declare that whenever a man
goes near one it rushes at him. uttering
sounds which they describe as resem-
bling whistle. "Shortly before was
at the government station writes Sir
William Macgregor, lone of these rep.
tiles attacked the government agent,
bnt was killed before it did any harm.
A little while before boy of fourteen
years was in the bush near the station
when one of these snakes made
rush at him with the usual
peculiar whistling sound. The boy
thought the noise emanated from some
cockatoos in tree. and began to look
for them. He did not discover his mis-
take until he received bite from the
reptile, from which he died.

our other fleet war steamers that we
have not lost the knack of building fast
boats; and let me tell you another thing
that is not generally known-when it
comes to building first-class ships or
steamers they can be built as cheaply
In Philadelphia as they can be in Eng
land or Scotland. Ask Charley Cramp
II that is not so. Years ago. he offered
to duplicate the Scotia, of the Cunard
Line. for the same money she cost and
to guarantee to turn out a faster boat,
with better passenger, freight and crew
accommodations, but the English com.
pany, which gets three-fourths Of its
patronage from Americans, would not
accept his offer. Catch Johnny Bull
paying money to any other nation for
anything that his own people can pro-
9uce. He isn't built that way.
But, to return to my mutton, the
Americas cup is worth millions to us
as an advertisement. and visible testi-
mony that our naval architects and
shipbuilders are the best in the world
A large proportion Of the people
Of the United States live far inland and
know little or nothing about ships or
maritime affairs. When Dick Thomp-
son, of Indiana, was made Secretary of
the Navy he went ON board ship for
the first time and looking down her
hatchway, it is jokingly SAID, he ex-
claimed in surprise: Why the damned
things hollow" Many Western Con-
gresham is about as we'll informed in
naval matters as was Colonel Thomp-
son. Make conditions that will enable
Dunraven or any other foreigner take
the Americas cup from us, and in
stantly the cry will be raised that we
can't build ships in competition with
the older nations Of Europe. and a
blow will be struck at our shipbuilders
they may never recover from. Fight
against all who would take the cup
from us with all honorable means. Let
our motto be Fair play and no favor, "
least of all favor to the nation that.
with her Alabamas and Shenandoahs,
drove our commerce from the seas in
our days Of tribulation. Some people
may say that I am ultra patriotic. To
them l have only to answer that was

The boat itself will cost over $75, 200

remainder. If 25o,0 people all over
