Grumblers.

How full the world is CT grumbiers.
Many of the same people who are
scolding this summer because il is
warm will scold next winter because il
is cold. There is no point between ze-
ro and the 90's that suits them.
Whether the gray clouds yield rain or
snow makes no matter-neither is
wanted. If skies are clear somebody
cistern needs rain; if the showers de
scend, somebody's feathers are ruined.
1t would add much to our happiness
and detract much from the fatal tend
ency to grow old if we would strive
after contentment and cease worrying
over the inevitable. The truly happy
are the happy-go-iucky, who take
every thing rs it comes and make the
best of it. If it rains all that is LEFT to
do is to pat up our umbrella, if We are
so fortunate as 10 have one, ana trudge
along. Wet feet and bedraggled skirts
won't kill one any more than poverty
and drudgery will, if there is some
thing within Us too sunshiny for pow
erty to cloud and too noble for lrudg-
cry TO debase. The person who spends
his life scolding because things don't
go to suit him is like he fly on the
kings chariot wheel. Things may
not be planned exactly for the comfort
of the fly, but his protest will never
stop the procession. The best tactics
for flies and grumblers to pursue is 20
take what comes along and be glad ii
is no worse.

Fruit as Medicine.

Why for ages have people eaten ap-
pie sauce with their roast goose and
sucking pig? Simply because the acids
and pectones in the fruit assist in di-
gesting the fats so abundant in this
kind of food. For the same 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 in their ma
tural, uncooked state rs dessert. In
the past ages instinct has taught men
to do this; to-day science tells us that
fruit should be eaten as an aid to di-
gestion of other foods much more than
1t is now. Cultivated fruits, such as APP
piles, pears, cherries, strawberries,
grapes, etc, contain on analysis very
similar proportions of the same ingre-
dients, which are about per cent. of
malic and other acids, and per cent.
of fiesh-forming galbuminoids, with over
so per cent. of water.
Digestion depends upon the action
of pepsin in the stomach upon the
food, which is greatly aided by the
acids of the stomach. Fats are diges-
ted by three acids and the bile from
the liver. Now, the acids aud pee
tones in fruit peculiarly assist the
acids of the stomach. Only lately even
royalty has been taking lemon juice in
tea instead of sugar, and lemon juice
has been prescribed largely by physi-
clans to help weak digestion, simply
because these acids exist very abund-
antly in the lemon

His Palmy Days Gone.

The juggling fakir, having been
driven from more lucrative schemes,
has been reduced TO very common
level.
One of the class who was recognized
as having worn diamonds five years
ago. and who was known as one of the
most skillful shell workers in the
country, was the center of an eager
group of boys IN the rear of a big store
at dinner hour, Saturday. lie was
saedy and run down, and a wreck of
his former days, indicating that the
shell swindle is too well known nova
days to be successfully worked.
He had basket in front of him, con-
tanning a number of small paper bags.
In one hand he held a pretty gold ring,
and this he pretended to put into one
of the bags. Then he shook the pile
up.
''Pick it out for a cent, boysr' he
cried many times.
"it's in that one" cried one. "There
it is" shouted another, and 50 the boys
vigorously guessed, but they didn't
produce the pennies.
When the observer left, the decayed
thimble rigger was still monotonously
and despairingly calling out:
''Pick it out for cent, boys There's
no deception, and the lucky boy gets a
gold ring worth $50. Pick it out for a

An Achievement.

Judge Thatcher of Mississippi was an
obstinate bachelor and rather prided
himself upon having resisted the
charms of lovely woman when on all
sides his friends had fallen victims to
the insidious arrows of fate.
He was solemn looking man, but
with plenty of dry humor in his ma
lure.
He had a pleasant home, over which
his relatives sometimes presided.
Upon one occasion lady called ON
some charitable errand and the servants
being out for the moment, the judge
answered the bell.
The caller, who was a stranger, ask
ed for the madam"
Ina grave and deliberate voice the
Judge replied, "There is no madam"
The stranger instantly detected n sor-
row and spoke with sympathy in look
and voice: "Alas, / see! Pardon he,
a bereavement.
This was too much for the bachelor
pride of the judge, who felt that he
could not be wOrsted OF his years of vic
torious solitude, so with triumphant re-
membrance he shouted with joy and
animation: "No, madam. not "a bereaye-
ment, an achievement, thank heaven,
an achievement"

Farm Notes.

Underdrainingmakes the land warm
eT by decreasing the evaporation, and
80 makes il earlier.
Ii is the business of the farmer to as
certain il he has any stock that il does
not pay to keep. Ii is suicidal business
policy to be feeding and sheltering
stock that do not pay for their keep.
An orehardist thinks that in most
cases it is not a good plan TO fill up an
old orchard with young trees. The soil
is too much exhausted by the growth
of the former trees. Better start a new
orchard in a new place.
A difference of very few days
makes a great difference in all kinds of
crops some seasons. Clover sown just
before a beating rain would become
imbedded in the soil and would grow
better aud stand more dry weather than
if sown Immediately after the rain.
The man whose soil is a good, strong
loam, and who will give his orchard
extra care and attention, will make
more money from dwarf pears than
from the standard varieties; they
should be grated on the ounce, have
a good culture, and the last years
growth keptstrimmed back.
Grade up TO pure bred sires to get
that early maturity and superior quail
ty developed 10y the skill ofthe success
ful breeders. Such stock prompts one
to liberal feeding and the best care.
Scrub stock and neglect generally go
together and lead TO disappointment.
As a health measure, where large
number of fowls are compelled to range
on limited inclosure, air Stacked lime
should be literally used. Let it be
scattered late i'm the evening, after the
chickens have gone to rOost. 1t will
greatly counteract the decOmposing
matter which is so deleterious.
1t Is better practice to prune the ap-
pie trees in the spring time when the
leaves are well started the wounds
then heal more quickly and eiiec;ually.
The extremes of winter weather are
sufficiently exhaustive TO the tree with
out having any supeF6uous demand
made upon its vital forces.
A farmers methods of farming can
he pretty fairly estimated by hunting
up his plows and harrows, his drills
and rakes and binders, in the winter
time, says the Farm News. If these
are found in the fields, or even in the
barn yard, unprotected from the snow
and rain and sunshine, you may pret-
" certainly conclude that the farmer
is not a good model, and is not getting
rich.

Another South Pole Expedition.

The trip of the Norwegian whaler,
Antarctic, during which Borchegre-
vinck made his important scientific
discoveries, has prompted Mr.. Reid,
Premier Minister of New South Wales,
to request all the other Australian
colonies to contribute a fund, which
will enable the outfittiDg Of another
expedition to the South Pole. Tasmania
has already accepted, and the other
colonies are also expected to participate
in the movement. In lecture by
Professor David, before the members of
the Geographical Society of New Zea-
land, he stated that the stones found
by Borchegrevinck, on Possession
Island and Victoria Land, are of
particular interest to biologists, since
they seem to prove correct the theory
that the land around the South Pole is
"a continent. The stones found are
certainly of continental origin, since
such species were never found on
islands, but exclusively on main land.

of long standing that coffee made in
