Apples for Eyerybydy.

Everybody ought to kno W that the very
best thing they can do is to eat apples be.
fore retiring for the night. Persons un-
initiated in the mysteries of the fruit are
liable to throw up their hands in horror al
the visions of dyspepsia which such a sug-
gestion may summon up, but no harm can
come to even a delicate system by the eat
ing:of ripe and ia cy apples just before going
to bed. The apple is an excellent brain
food, because it has more phosphoric acid
in easily digestible shape than other fruits
1t excites the action of the liver, promotes
sound and healty sleep and thoroughly dis.
infects the mouth. This is not all. The
apple helps the kidney secretions and pre-.
vents calculus growths, while 1t obviates
indigestion and is one of the best proven.
tives known of diseases of the throat.

NEBRASKA APPEALS.
Conflicting Reports as to the Real Con-

Conflicting Reports as to the Real Con-
dition.
There is still fatal variation in the news
from Nebraska. From many quarters
come appeals for help. They come in the
shape of letters generally from ministers
located in the region where the destitution
prevails to their brethren in the East. Ap-
peals for aid also appear in Nebraska county
papers, but the Omaha Bee, rejecting no
doubt the feelings of Omaha merchants,
continues to belittle the tales of distress and
dspFeeate the appeals for aid.
In its issue of January 9th the Bee prints
the views of leading merchants on the SUBJ
ject. Says one: ut is detrimental to tie
interests OF Nebraska to see relief trains
headed this way. 1t is an awful break to
advertise Nebraska in this manner, and it
will do the State great deal of harm" :"
Another merchant observes; There is
destitution among farmers in the drouth
counties to some extent, but believe that
the situation has possibly been colored by
word painters" Another merchant is will
ing to admit that there is hard times in
Nebraska in his own particular line, but
sees ray of hope ahead. He says: "If we
can have good cold snap, plenty of snow
and some bad weather within the next few
weeks it will make business good among the
jobbers." :"
The relief trains we understand are not
for the Omaha jobbers who fear that their
credit will hurt by the reports of hard times
in western Nebraska. The men and wo'
men on the prairies, with scarcely any food
without fuel and insuff1ciently supplied with
clothing are certainly not joining in this
Omaha prayer for a cold snap, snow and
bad weather. There seems to be wide di-
yergence of the views between Omaha and
the drouth-stricken farm lands. The stories
of distress may be exaggerated, but we sus-
pect they are nearer the truth than the
merchants of Omaha would wish us to be-
lieve. 1t will hurt Omaha less to have relief
trains going to Nebraska than to stop trains
that ought to 60 there in order to preserve
the credit of Omaha merchants. We cannot
believe that any such motives really actuate
the Omaha decriers of the reports of dis
tress from 200 miles west of them, but there
is remarkable discrepancy in the reports
which ought to be explained and rectifed.-

Trilby Had set The Fashion.

It is said that fashion next summer will
kindly permit ladies at seaside resorts to
bathe without stockings, and stylish young
women are already having their feet pre-
pared for next seasons campaign. Many
feet which look just too captivating for
anything in shoes and stockings are not
altogether lovely when exposed to view,
and feminine owners of such defective ex-
tremIties are now invoking the aid of the
pedicurists to make them presentable. Civ
ilization and tight shoes have inflicted
many wrongs upon the human understan-
ding, and many ladies recognize that ifthey
are to make impressions upon the masculine
heart, as well as upon the sand, with their
feet next summer they must put themselves
upon better footing.
There are comparatively few Trilby feet
in real life; few which are perfect in form
and entirely free from blemish. Nevertheless
Du Maurier's rhapsody over the beauty OF
Trilby's foot may be to certain extent res
ponsible for the general note of preparation
for the exhibition of feminine feet next
summer. Many women who have read his
novel may be anxious to prove that they
too have somthing in that line, moi
entirely unworthy of admiration. And why
should not pretty foot inspire the poet and
the artist quite as much as hand or lady's
eyebrow? Great execution has been done
with the feminine foot through all the cen.
turies. Even with its charms concealed by
shoes and stockings, it has proved one oi
the most formidable of womanly weapons
With it woman has lured man on, and on
and with it, when she has wearied of play
ing with him, she has administered the
coup de grace. But when it shines forth
next summer in all its loveliness, unadorned
by anything but its own beauty, it will b.
simply irresistible. No bachelor will be safe
at the seaside. The most hardened and Gym
ical will capitulate at the sight of the thou
sands offs snowy feet pattering over the sandy
beach in unconventional freedom, or dem
urely presented for masculine inspection
and approval. But what will the girls o
Chicago do?

VACUUM CANNING.
It is a New Wrinkle in the
 Pacific Fruit Country.

new vacuum process O canning trults in glass ts- lately been intro dnced from Europe among the pack CTS of the Pacific coast. All the dele terious gases generated in cooking the fruit, and even the air, are extracted under this new process, so the fermen- tation Is reduced to a minimum. No solder Is used, and each jar is opened by making puncture with penk after which the cover can be lifted of entire. The fruit is sol d packed.
 In this way there is a saving of freight charges. Formerly the use of resin, scid, solder and hot iron scorched the syrup, and since the aper- ture in the top of the tin cans was co small that the fruit was often crushed and cut when being placed in the cans, the syrup was for this reason cloudy.

SENATOR VEST, who has recently returned from Europe, in the follow ing interesting statement made in his silver speech last week, said: "The argument advanced by the goldi,es to the effect that in the case of the free coinage of silver in this country the United States would be flooded with the silver Of the world is best answered by the fact that while the ratio be- tween the metals in this country is Is to l. in Europe it is l5t to l. h other words silver is given higher rating in Europe than in America. Over there they believe that 5s ounces of silver is worth one ounce Of gold, while according to the ratio in this country il requires l6 ounces of silver to equal the value of one ounce of gold.
