Fruit salad.


The material for some kind of fruit
salad is nearly always to be had, though
perhaps midsummer offers the most de-
lectable variety. The success OF the
combination depends on just the right
proportion of sweet and sour, of taste
less and piquant, and often few ex-
periments will result in a flavor worth
recording. At all seasons OF the year
one may have cocoanut, bananas and
oranges Just now there are, in addi-
ton, peaches and grapes, pears, late
blackberries, and a variety of plums.
The usual dressing for such is good
white wine and little sugar, poured
over each layer, but it has been discov-
cred that few drops of delicate fruit
essence or 1iqueur or even bit OF the
best cologne on a drop of sugar, added
with discrimination, gives an aroma
that is most delicious. No decided
flavor of the one thing, but an imper-
ceptible and agreeable blending of
many fruits and fragrances, should be
the aim. Too much of an essence would
uroduce indicated taste.-N. Y. Post.

HIS LEAP PROVED FATAL.

On Saturday night a man named
Jones, his initials or given name We
could not learn, was a passenger on
the Cotton Belt train from Tusca-
loosa, Alabama, to San Antonio,
Texas. When near Finn, a small
station this side of Camden, he be-
came imbued with the idea that
some one was after him, aud he act
ed strangely, so much so that the
colored porter on the car kept an
eye on him to see that be did no one
harm. His mania grew on him, and
he finally arose, kicked out the win
dow he was sitting by, and when
the porter made a grab for him he
jumped through the window and fell
to theground while the train was
making its usual speed.
The alarm was given to the con
ductor and the train backed down
to where he fell, and he was found
to be seriously hurt, how bad, the
trainmen did not know.
DR.. Weaver, of New Lewisyille,
Arkansas, was telegraphed to be al
the depot to give him medical at
tention, and he came here with the
wounded man, where he was met by
the company's surgeon here.
They did what was necessary tC
his comfort, and sent him to the
company's hospital at Tyler, Texas,
where he died yesterday. He hac
$2G and scGle checks in his pocket
and his papers showed him to be a
civil engineer. From what we car
learn about the affair, the road is
blameless, and after the accident
the officers put themselves to much
trouble and expense to relieve the
man from his sufferings.
