American apples, when the crop Is
good and the various kinds are of per-
feet growth, are the finest fruit In the
world. There Is no fruit Of the tropic or
subtropic regions as good for all pur-
poses as apples. Apples are superior to
oranges, bananas, lemons, tamarinds
and all other fruits in their taste for
the palate and their wholesome effects
as food. Their flavor Is as various as
human tastes. From the sweetness OF
honey they range to the sharpest acid
ity. They fill every need of the stom-
ach for the vegetable juices which pro-
mote health. There has not been in
a generation as prolific harvest of ap-
pies as that Of the present year. All
the branches of all the trees in all the
orchards have been overburdened with
their wealth of fruit. If the product
of this year could have been distrib-
uted over five years Of partial produc-
ton or Of famine the average would
have been sufficient for the entire pc
Rod. In recent years the choicest va
rieties of apples have been scarce In
quantity and of inferior quality. They
have lacked form and flavor They
have been deteriorated by various
causes-from attacks Of insects, by
drouths, late or early frosts and sea-
sonal influences for which there was
no apparent origin. This year all the
soil and climatic influences have been
favorable. In the fruit belts of the
East and West the apple crop Is pro-
digious. The quality is Of the best.
The very culls and refuse this year
are superior to the choice fruit Of some
previous years. The shipments Of
American apples to Europe have begun
and are likely to be enormous in ex-
tent. The great crop this year will
cause the fruit to be distributed at a
lower price in Europe than ever before.
In the past American apples have been
rare and expensive luxury to Euro
pean consumers. This year they will
have an abundance at low cost of the
most delicious fruit that the soil pro-
duces.

A liniment made OF ammonia, sweet
oil and laudanum equal parts Is good
for bruised surfaces, or for tightness Of
the chest. Another for lameness and
for rheumatism Is made of the whites
Of two eggs, two tablespoonfuls OF spir-
its Of turpentine, two tablespoonfuls Of
vinegar. Before using either Of these
1t should be well shaken.
Turpentine Is an excellent family rem
edy. AS nm inhalation 1t is soothing In
bronchitis, pneumonia, coughs and any
lung trouble. Rubbed ON the chest II
will ease the pain Of aching lungs.
For burns the application Of pure lard
mixed to a paste with -four will be
found healing, and will prevent any
scar from the injured part. The same
is true Of raw potato grated and applied
on a cloth, the cloth being next the gar
ment, the raw potato with It's juice be-
ing on the injured flesh. 1t must be
removed as soon as dried, but Its action
Is marvellous In severe burns.
Children suffer from earache which
may be cured by the fumes Of chloro-
form. To apply 1t make a funnel Of
paper, drop into It a bit Of cotton sat
urated with the chloroform. Press the
cotton in by blowing into the large end
Of the funnel. The application of q
hop bag heated will often ease the pain.
The simpler the home remedies the
better. They are quite as efficacious
and are safer. Salt, lemons, hot water
form pharmacopoeia complete enough
for use without the doctors directions,
except in accidents and Group. The
curative effects Of salt have never been
known as they should be.
Sore and infiamed eyes are relieved
by bathing with salt. and water. Sore
throat yields to gargle Of the same.
The most obstinate cases Of constipa-
ton can be absolutely cured by the per
sistent use Of half a teaspoonful OF salt
In glass of water taken just before
going to bed, or the first thing in the
morning. Constipation Is one Of the
commonest evils.
Baths Of salt and cold water will
rouse sluggish skin to action and will
cure cold feet. Salt used occasionally
Is good dentifrice and keeps the teeth
free from tartar. Salt and water used
on the hair now and then stops its COM
Ing out.

pal characteristics have been given, to-

them, of the persons who had their
hands read. and comparison Is made
easy to those who choose to try.
Hand No. 1 belongs to the square
or useful type. The leading charac-
teristics are symmetry and exactitude
Of thought and habit. A person. with
little imagination or originality. One
who disbelieves all she cannot under
stand would have such hand. She
does not allow herself to be Influenced
by prejudice, but will examine every
thing before coming to a conclusion,
and should follow a career Involving
logic and reason. She Is very orderly;
has a place for everything. She is po-
lite and courteous In her manners. A
great respecter of persons and stickler
for social etiquette. She Is very nerv-
Gus and sensitive, and has very level
headed way Of going to work, even
when doing imaginative work. She is
self-confdent, energetic and has a go
ahead spirit, but should not work too
hard and should take plenty Of exer-
else outdoors, as her constitution is in
dicated to be weak by the many deep
cross lines on the finger tips. She is
fond Of admiration, a fatterer, and
susceptible to fiattery herself. The up
per line running across the hand Is
the heart line, relating to all things
connected with the affections. In this
case it is much crowded with little
lines, denoting strong tendency to
filtration. The second line crossing the
hand is the head line, or line Of men
tally. The first half is straight, but
the second drops down In a curve,
which shows a balance between prac-
tical common sense and Imagination,
and gives in this case q talent for i'm
aginative work, |. e., the nature Is prac-
teal, but the head Is imaginative. The
line Of life (the long line which runs
around the ball Of the thumb Is very
long. This gives promise of long
life. The line shows break at the
age Of "a and means an illness at that
age. The fate line, running from the
wrist to the second finger is very good
for success In money matters. She
will have many admirers. but will only
marry once, at the age Of about 81.
The thumb is very long and turns out

and good reasoning powers. She has
