Value of Good Fruit.

Good fruit is infinitely more productive
OF healt and beauty than sweetmeats and
pastry. Ripe apples are especially
healthy, and children may eat them with
out danger. Some doctors say that an
apple at bedtime produces sleep. Pears
are mor0 sevory thsn apples, but not so
healthy, unless cooked.
Prunes have medical Qualities which
cannot DE denied. Tney are better cooked,
however. Apricots are also more healthy
cooked. Peaches are very healthy.
The most healthy OF all fruit, however,
are grapes. Consumption has been cured
by grapes when every other remedy has
failed. Cherries may also be eaten, as
they frequently restore health and
strength to the weak.
Straw berries, though a cold frait, have
the virtue OF healing rheumatism.
Goose berries and currents are best cooked
Figs are also excellent. They We're in
great favor with ancient Roman ladies,
who always ate hem for breakfast. Pine
apples are said to be the best cure for
dyspepsia yet known. Nuts OF all kinds
are indigestible Oranges are also ex-
cellent cure for dyspepsia. Lemons
produce cheerfulness, and prolong life.

The Secret of Success.

Fine roads can be constructed all the
way from S400 to s., 900 per mile, ac-
cording to the nature Of the country
through which they pass, the cost Of
crushed stone and other engineering
problems. The cost Of keeping these
roads in repair is infinitely smaller than
that required to repair the ordinary dirt
roads each winter and spring, when
great gullies and ruts are washed into
them by the rains and floods. The secret
Of the success of the fine roads in France

HOPEFUL SIGNS FOR ROADS.
Encouraging Features of the Movement
For Improved Highways.

There is one especially encouraging
feature Of the good roads movement. 1t
is the activity III that direction in re-
glans remote from centers Of population.
y convention Of delegates representing
the great state Of Texas is To be held in
Galveston beginning on May 22 In
Arkansas a state convention was held at
Little Rock in February. in which a
resolution was adopted recommending d
constitutional amendment empowering
county authorities to levy a special tax
for carrying on work of general high
way Improvement Similar steps have
been taken III several other states Of the
south and west
Another encouraging feature Of the
movement is a general disposition to
profit by the experience Of other coun-
tries, notably of France, which has per-
haps the finest wagon roads of any coun-
try. Good roads are more easily made
and kept in order there than in most
countries. because of the scarcity Of for
est areas, which conserve moisture and
render somewhat more difficult the keep
ing Of highways i'll repair But it is pos
sible and well worth the while TO have
good roads and still preserve the desired
areas of natural forest. The time is not
distant when the neglect Of either of
these important interests will be mat
ter Of general public regret and will be
viewed as public misfortune. Youth s

If it required an annual outlay OF 300
to insure a family against any serious
consequences from an attack Of bowel
complaint during the year there are many
who would feel it their duty to pay it;
that they could not afford to risk their
lives and those OF their family for such
an amount. Any one can get this insur-
anee for 25 cents, that being the price Of
a bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Disrrh9a Remedy. In almost every
neighborhood some one has died from an
attack of bowel complaint before medi-
cine could be procured or a physician
summoned. One or two doses of this
remedy will cure any ordinary case. 1t
never fails. Can you afford to take the
risk for so small an amount? For sale by

How Some Soldiers Got Even.

Just before General Joe Johnston
surrendered at Greensboro, N. O.,
his commissariat was so slim that it
did not satisfy the hunger of some OF
his men. The consequence was the
plantations on the route OF their re-
treat were stripped OF everything eata-
BILE. Stringent orders were issued by
General Smith against this kind OF
independent foraging, and strong
provost guard was sent out to strip
the men of their booty, and oil OF the
tid-bits went to replenish General
Smiths larder.
His men determined to get even
with him, SO a party went to distant
farm house and killed a large New
foundland dog, skinned it and cut it
into such small pieces that it was i'm
possible to tell what the animal was
when it was alive. They then ap-
preached the camp in the direction
they knew the guard would intercept
them. and allowed themselves to be cap
tured. The meat supposedly NUT
ton) was sent up to General Smiths
headquarters, where it in due time
appeared on the Generals table. The
story got abroad, and the next time
there was a review or dress parade Of
Smiths Brigade, soldier at one end
of the line called out, "Who ate the
dog?" The reply from the other enc
was, General Smith," and the whole
line broke into loud "Bow WOW j.

roach it had caught.
Miller got up once or twice to assist

and finally dropped to sleep without
blowing out the lamp. The cat kept
awake.
Miller awoke q few minutes later to
find that the cat had knocked over the
lamp, which was in front room, and
the whole room was ablaZe.
To get out it was necessary for him
to reach the fire escape in that room,
and in going through he was badly
burned. He was taken to the station
house, where his burns were dressed,
and he was then carried to Roosevelt
Hospital. Miller lost about S4OO worth
of furniture, and the cat has net been

4 Solid Steel Gun.

Mr.. Maxim has lately produced n
5.7-inch forty-five FOUNDER gun that
promises 10 revolutionizc the art of
gun manufacture. He proposes to
manufacture guns from one solid in
tregal forging, and thereby supersede
the present expensive and tedious
system of building up" 1t is well
known that the present "built-up" gun
consists of an inner core or tube, over
which nre shrunk successively series
of concentric "iaekets" or outer
tubes. This is done in order that the
whole mass of metal in the thickness
of the gun may be thrown into state
of tension, and may be ready to re-
ceive and resist instnntaneously the
bursting strain that is set up at the
moment OF firing. Were it not for
this initial tension the bursting effect
of the cbarge would all be thrown
upon the layer of metal that was next
the bore, which would be ruptured be-
fore the next outlying mass of metal
could assist in resisting the strain.
In the built.up gun, as result of the
initial tension, every particle of metal
from the centre to the circumference
is firmly gripping the bore; and the
shock OF discharge is felt and resisted
instantaneoully by the whole mass OF
the gup.-Public Opinion.
