SOME WINTER FRUITS.
Tho Wonderful Virtues of Grapes,
Oranges and PumelOs.


Oranges and FumelOs.
She had just returned from a foreign
grape cure, with a bloom ON her cheek
and light in her eyes worthy of a
Hebe. ut is the esthetics Of medical
treatment" she said "There is none of
the paraphernalia of battle for health,
but sunshine, fresh air and grapes. One
can live on them from morning till
night; at first | could only eat a pound
a day, but before long | progressed 10
ten pounds and even beyond that
Fancy ltW
Although we cannot all visit foreign
cures, still at this time of the year
grapes are abundant and within the
reach Of most persons, who would UNI
doubleday find a pound day good econ
omy. We must let our imaglnatlons
furnish the surroundings of the cure
the vines laden with purple clusters,
the pleasant hotel, the high, pure air.
and devote ourselves to the practical
details Of eating all the grapes possible.
Very few people are aware of the
medicinal qualities Of grapes, but these
they possess. The pulp is nutritious
and the juice contains sugar, fannie
acid, bitartrate Of potassium, tartrate Of
calcium, common salt and sulphate Of
potassium.
Without doubt the woman who culti-
Yates the habit of eating a great deal
of fruit is the gamer in health and APP
pearance.
The grape fruit, or shaddoclt, So
called from its discoyerer Lieut. Shad-
dock, or, to mention its soft Chinese
name, pumelo, is highly priced by those
who live in malarial localities. 1t is
charming rival to quinine and boneset,
and is driving them from the field. She
who eats her grape fruit with spoon
from the natural cup, or relishes it
served as a salad may gladden. her
heart with the reflection that she is not
only pleasing her palate but benefit
ing her health. Like oranges and lem
ons, the grape fruit has great medicinal
virtues. If you are Of bilious temper
ament eat grape fruit; if fevers threat
en- eat grape fruit, but in this latter
case do so only at the advice of ply
stefan, as there may be certain tenden-
cies which the grape fruit would only
aggravate The complaint is often
made that this fruit is extremely Bit
ter and unpleasant. 1t is only the
white inner rind which is so, and this
should always be carefully removed.
To refer to eating" cures, quite one
of the prettlest salads | have seen late
ly was a green-pepper salad. The large
peppers had been opened and the seeds
removed, then Russian salad, COM
posed of various vegetables, was heaped
within the shells and covered with a
delicious mayonnaise. These pretty
green boats lay on a bed of lettuce
leaves and about the base of them and
through the curled leaves shone vivid
fame-like nasturtium blossoms.
How very pretty and artistic!" l ex-
claimed.
THE cook does not think so, replied
my hostess with smile. Neither she
nor l knew that the peppers must be
cut or the seeds taken out under water,
consequently she burned her hands,

To Tunnel Pike 8 Peak.

It is reported that the actual work
on the tunnel through Pixies peak was
begun eight miles from the Cripple
Creek gold field. The work is done I'M
der contract with the city of Colorado
Springs, Col, and the tunnel is to run
from Beaver Creek canyon to West
Beaver Creek, bringing the water down
the canyon and into the control of the
waterworks at Colorado Springs. The
tunnel is II 900 feet above the sea level
and is to be over mile and a half
long. The workmen will drill through
solid granite and a tunnel SKI feet will
be built. The contract calls for the
completion of the work within two
years. The price to be paid is SIG per
foot, and at this rate it is estimated that
the work will cost $25O,OOO Workmen
have begun operations at both ends
of the proposed tunnel. Owing to the
fact that gold has been found in paying
quantities in so many places near Grip
pie Creek the contractors have great
expectations as to the result of boring
through Pixies peak, and a sufficient
number of claims have been secured to
protect any find that may be made
during the progress of the work.

Phosphoreseent Diamonds.

An expert in gems has lately called
attention to property in the diamond
which has not hitherto been fully ap-
preciated. Robert Boyle mentions a
diamond that became phosphorescent
simply by the heat of the hand, alb
sorbed light on being held near a can
die, and emitted light on being briskly
rubbed. Observations by Mr.. Kunz, the
gem expert, confirm Boyle's statement
that diamonds become phosphorescent
in the dark after exposure to sunlight
or electric light by being rubbed on
wood, cloth, or metal. This property
is an important one, as it will help the
non-expert to distinguish between the
true diamond and other hard stones,
as we'll as limitations, none Of which
is said to exhibit this phenomenon.

Losing Enterprlss for the State.

California's experiment of printing
the textbooks used in the public
schools Of the state proves to be a
costly one, the San Francisco papers
report. The idea was that the books,
when thrown upon the market, would
not only fully repay the cost Of produce
ton, but would yield handsome reve-
nue., which in few years would fully
reimburse the state for the amount Of
appropriations made to establish the
original plant. This was fallacious.
The estimate now is that the state has
lost about 100000 on the venture.
Since the establishment of the plant in
1885 it has cost 100000 in appropria-
tons, and an estimated value Of the
plant now is $15O,0OO Secretary of
State Brown says that because Of mis-
takes made in estimating the cost Of
production "the books must have beer
selling below cost"
