APPLES AS FOOD.
l Fruit With Rare Medicinal and
Hygicnic Properties.

DR.. Stotzer Buotzcr, in one of the
foreign medical reviews. writes as
follows on the medicinal and hygienic
properties Of apples: Apples eaten
immediately before bedtime promote
the health generally. Its dietetical as
well a. ulimCntary substance is Of the
highest order. It contains more phos-
phoric acid in an easily digested COM
bination than any other vegetable pro-
duct. 1t is (1) good brain food ; ~
excites the functions OF the liver (3j
promotes a sound and quiet sleep /; (4j
disinfects the mouth; (5) agg~iutinates
the surplus acids of the stomach; (6)
~ helps the %secretions of the kidneys
obviates indigestion and 10y 10 n good
throat"
Ripe apples, raw or cooked, eaten in
moderation, rs food and not stuffed
down in quantities when the stomach
Is already full, + quite as good as
many medicines and vastly cheaper
and more pleasant to take. Fruit was
mans first God-given food and while
under the curse of fruits often fail and
man is forced to make use of inferior
articles of food, and eat his bread in
the sweat of his face, yet it Is a strange
illustration of human folly to see
bushels of excellent apples rotting on
the ground, while none are seer on
the owners table and the poor victim
of q perverted appetite sits down to
feed at his illspread board on salt pork
washed down with hard cider.

jos SMITHS MIRAcLES.-A curio, :.
visitor is said to have once approached
Joseph Smith, the Mormon s'prophet,n
determined 60 see bin work q miracle.
at first the prophet respectfully de-,
cllned. But the caller persisted.
Finally, the leader OF the saint sud-
denly faced the stranger and shouted (:
win you be struck deaf or dumb or
blind? Whichever you choose, you
shall have it ~ The man vanished.
AT another time, Smith promised to
walk on the water, and took of his
shoes and stockings /; he approached
the water, was about to step upon It
when he stopped and asked of the as
sembled crowd whether they had faith
that he vas able to do 1t. They de-
clared they had, whereupon Smith put
them off again, saying that that was
sufficient, 1t being written that those
were more blessed that had not seen
and yet had believed.

SIX ETA ABOUT THE FAMOUS
MOONSHINER.

An Interesting Talk About Making
Illicit Whiskcy-Incidents of the
Great mOOnshin War in the Noun
tains ofSouth Carolina.
News and Courier.
Major Lewis r. Redmond, u scorce
OF years since the king of the Carolina
mountains and the terror of the re-
venue officials in Pickens and Oconee
counties, is in the city and is stopping
at the Darwin House, 64l King street.
Mr.. Redmond, as is well known, now
resides on his farm near Seneca, and
does O good business In raising stock
and manufacturing lumber. He is in
Charleston at present with a shipment
OF sheep and cattle, his own and q
neighbours from Oconee County.
The eX-moonshiner greeted q re-
porter cordially last night, when called
on at b Darwin House, and said that
this was not the first time by q great
many that reporters had wanted him
to talk, and that he wasn't for saying
very much, and that he had often cent
them away faster than they came. He
Is a fine looking man, about six feet
high, with high forehead and wavy
black hair. He ear side whiskers
and mustache and his dark eyes flash
with amusement or interest as memory
o"iio ioion Somo scoHo. ftu impression
prevails that he Is an old man, but far
from it: he is not yet forty. After
chatting a while about his place, the
price of cattle and his interesting
family, the Major was induced to say
something Of his old life.
" was but little more than o boy
when | first made whiskey," he said,
land my first still was right close to tho
wagon road and-that was before tho
revenue officers got up our way In
Oconee. We had heard about them
down around Columbia, but they hadn't
got further north much. Now as to tho
making Of a little .whiskey, of course
the people In that section couldn't see
the harm In it. You see corn grows
easy enough on those eide hill farms,
butSgetting 1t to o market is u different
matter. Very likely the farm was in
tain pfth. The corn would have to be
carried over the mountain to u road
and q wagon probably hired to tran
sport 1t. The value vas well eat up
In expenses when 1t reached a market
as corn. But on the other hand, turn
ten bushels into twenty gallons of
whiskey, and at q dollar a gallon the
farmer would get enough money to
buy the little n~ecessaries that he
couldn't raise well. [ started my still
and 500 had a good thing in it. If
| made good whiskey it is not to brag,
for / only made what I could guarantee,
and / had no trouble in disposing Of it.
After q while the revenues began
coming about the section and naturally
as they moved up / moved my still
back until 1 was right in the noun
tains. / don't know why 1t was, but
the officers located stills all around me
and each time they made q seizure I
would say TO myself, We'll, I'll go
next but still they couldn't come up

An Issue.

A Baltimore San dispatch from
Hagerstown, dated Tuesday, says:
DIR. James A. Steuart, secretary of the State
board of health, made number of recon-
mendations to the board of county commits
sioners to-day concerning the sanitary laws
and conditions OF Hagerstown and Washing
ton county. With him were Local Health
Officer DR.. T. w. Simmons, DIR. H. U. On
derdonk, DR.. G. q. Wingard, DR.. C. r.
Scheller Dr. III. S. Herman and DR.. A. S.
Mason, who concurred in the secretary's re-
concentrations. DR.. Steuart advised that ms
quickly as possible Hagerstown get rid of the
hog-pens and slaughter houses. DR.. Sim.
mons reported that there were 400 hog pens
in the town and 20 slaughter houses, most of
them in vile condition DIR. Steuart said if
the city council refused to abolish the hog
pen nuisance that the county commissioners,
who have jurisdiction over the town as well
as the county, should take measures to
abate it.
What is good for Hagerstown is
good for Frostburg.
Hence, the JOURNAL invites DR..
Steuart here to look at our unsauitary
resources in the hog pen line,
The JOURNAL can then ask Council
are you still for hog-pens and
against the public health
And, failing to get an answer here.
it can ask candidates for County Com
missioner-will you, if elected, ex-
ercIse your power to promote the
public health by removing the hog
pens, or will you funk your duty in
favor of diphtherla, typhoid and scarlet
fever and similar diseases
In other words, will the fear of
popular ignorance, expressed through
the suffrage, still force you TO imperil
the popular health ?

| A considerable number of people
viewed ornamental spectacle of
rare beauty Tuesday night. The air
was clear, still, the moon high and the
heavens deeply blue. 1t was an ideal
night for observing scene so sug-
gestive of the vastness and deepness
of space and the lnfnity of worlds
with which it is peopled.
The various phases from contact to
totally were viewed by small party
through telescope owned by Thomas
G. Porter-all of which were full of
engrossing interest to the thoughtful
mind.
Later, when the electric lights had
gone out, the JOURNAL turned a
smaller glass upon the Milky Way,
and there was IL scene that must ever
on this earth be a staggering wonder
to mortal vision. Twinklers unseen by
the baked eye spring upon the sight
from the profoundest depths in be-
wildering numbers and overpoweriug
resplendence, while still far beyond
they pale away into indistinguishable
nebulae. How beautifully the majestic
idiom of Derzhavin's versfied ascrip-
ton to Deity comes in here:
As sparks mount upwards from the fiery
blaze,
So suns are born, so worlds sprang forth
from Thee;
And rs the spangles in the sunny rays
Shine round the silver snow the pageantry
Of heavens bright army gltters in Thy
praise.
What is total eclipse of the moon
Nothing but the moon entering and
sojourning for short while III our own
night. For night is nothing more than
earth's shadow cast on space by the sun
ID very small sidereal event, even in
our solar system. Yet it is of some con-
Germ to us, inasmuch as the oppositions
Of the sun and moon, so direct, furnish
attractions which result in
magnetic, electric, and seismic disturb
ances. With the sun pulling on one
side and the moon on the other, it is
little wonder that the earth should
manifest the tension in earthquake
shocks and electrical outbreaks.
But of the sublime Apocalypse of
Nature as shown on the ebon towers
Of Night-what ? When are the gilt
tering hieroglyphs of high destiny,
traced by an Omnipotent hand on the
blue scroll Of the sky, to be spelled for
humanity?
One could still ask, but E. R. Sill,
in ga Paradox" enjoins-
Haste not, haste not, my soul Intinity?
Thou hast eternity to learn it in.

The JOURNALS reporter has this to
say this week:
AS has been stated, the game at Meyers
dale, Pa, last week resulted in our favor c..
Our heroes played almost a fautles> game,
making only two errors, but the same two
errors cost Almost as much as new, tender
suit of lambs wool spring clothes.
George Coleman receives great praise for an
excellent exhibition of skill also -
Spates. Both were phenonenally fine. Capt
James Dando distinguished himself at the
bat, being the only one who put himself in
perfect touch with the twisting twirl of the
Meyersdale twrler.
After the series with Hoffman this week
the boys will go to Keyser, W. Va, and play
a return game.
So far Frostburg has a clear record this
season, excepting one game-in League
parlance 800 to COL.
The Meyersdale Commercials report
of the game doesn't consist -
The score at the beginning of the ninth
inning stood to 6 in Frostburg's favor.
Meyersdale was at the bat, one man out,
Williams on third and Reich at the bat
Prospects for victory were very hattering
Does anyone blame the Frostburg team for
their visible anxiety to quit? Or the UNI
pire for trying to save the dollar he had on
the game?
Evidently Meyersdalc made nothing
in its half of the ninth. Hence, the
visible anxiety to quit was a gallant
Frostburg concession of its opportunity
to increase its score. Otherwise, why
should Frcstburg be anxious to quit
when Meyersdale was already beaten
The first Of the Hoffman series, play
ed Thursday, notwithstanding IL,
