combined. In fevers / use grapes
and strawberries. giving them to my
patients in small but frequent doses
oranges and baked apples, if the others
are not obtainable. For rheumatism
plenty OF lemons are invaluable
White girls with miserable, pallid COM
pleXions want quart of strawberries
a day; where these are not obtainable
bananas, which contain much iron,
are good substitute. Probably, of all
fruits, the apple stands unrivaled for
general purposes in the household;
either raw or cooked it can be taken
by nearly everybody, and it contains
similar properties to the other more
delicate fruits. To my mind the pear
is more easily digested than the apple,
and for eating uncsoked is superior to
it, Dried fruits should be used when
green cannot be obtained. Ii soaked
for a few hours before cooking they
make capital substitute for fresh
fruit, and they come cheaper to the
consumer.
For preserving fruit look upon bot
Ting in glass bottles as the coming
thing. Not by the use of chemicals,
such as salicylic and broacic acids, and
the various preservatives made from
them, but simply by protecting it after
cooking from the Preventative germs
in the atmosphere. 1t keeps for years,
turns out even more palatable than
green fruit, is equally digestible, and
contains all the virtues of freshly cook
ed fruit Canned fruit is not so good !;
the acid of the fruit dissolves up tin
and lead from the tin, and | have seen
very serious cases of illness as a result.
Besides, fruit should be sold much
cheaper, in bottles than in tins, as the
battle can be returned and used again.

Patriotism at Seabeck.

The little town of Seabeck, towards
the head of Hoods canal, is preparing
for state of siege About thirty
people live there and the community
commands fully seven or eight able
bodied men (when they are all at
home), all of whom are patriotic and
are more or less worked up over the
report Of war between this country
and Great Britain. AS most old
timers know, Seabeck was far larger
100 years ago than it is today, having
been an outpost and garrison for the
Hudson bay campany's fur hunters in
the Olympics. 1t is also interesting
to note that at that ime Great Britain
occupied the soil and the English flag
fioated over the garrison cabins.
But the Seabeck Of today is intense
ly American. A few days ago some
one found in the sand an old cannon
with the cipher of George III cast in
its rusty breech. This piece, which is
made OF cast iron and is 16-pounder,
has been mounted at an eminence.
The cannon has been cleaned with
kerosene and the volunteers, COM
manded by Capt. S. Green, an old
time rancher, have gathered q large
supply of ammunition in the shape Of
rocks that are of aufficlent size to fit
the muzzle. While there is nothing
at Seabeck now but the lone smoke
stack Of the Seabeck mill companv's
plant, which was burned in 1886. the
ranchers are proud of the relic and
and they are prepared to defend it at
the peril of their lives-to their last
gasp.
The Indians Of the locality have
been pressed into the service and for
the past two weeks scouting parties
have been out endeavoring to trace
down an alarming rumor to the effect
that an English warship had entered
the channel and was approaching the
Notifications. The rumor also had the
effect OF making the volunteers look
forward to state of siege and they
now have six months supply of CLANS
collected and ale therefore ready for
almost any emergency.
But-the sturdy volunteers, who are
proud of the distinction of having the
flrst ratification on the Sound, have
been looking about for suitable uni
forms. One or two secured some Grand
Army OF the Republic regalia and then
they discovered job lot of stage cos
tunes which had at one time been the
property of transforming company,
The costumes had been left at Sidney
after having been attached by the
sheriff on writs sworn out bv creditors
The costumes are not mates but the
volunteers at Seabeck, when arraved
In all their new glory, will no douot
present such grizzly appearance that

How to Count Eggs GeometricaJIy.

The following has gone the rounds
of papers east of the Cascade noun
tains and we give it to our readers to
see how many can work it out.
AS many as can solve the problem
that is given below without assistance
and will bring the answer TO this Office
we will publish it.
Ap old lady took basket of eggs to
the city for sale, and upon being asked
how many she had she replied: eff /
take the eggs out of the basket two at
time, I have one egg left; if take
them out three at time, / have one
egg left; if take them out four at a
time, I have one left; if | take them
out five at time, / have one left; if
| take them out six at a time, l have
one left; but if I take them out seven
at a time, I have none left.
How many eggs had she in the
basket? There IS more than one
answer, to the question, but the first
possible is the correct one and will
prove how many eggs the old lady had
in her basket.
We give this to amuse the children
and young folks in solving the mathe-
NAUTICAL problem of winter evenings.

THE laws of this state forbid the
marriage of cousins, and that law is as
just as any other on our statute books.
1t was evaded, however, by couple of
cousins from Lewis county who this
week came to the Harbor and awaited
the opportunity to reach the high seas
by means CT a bar tug, when they
married, contrary to the laws of nature,
if not to the law of man. And those
who violate law Of nature must meet
with punishment more sure and last
ing, though not as speedy, as the or
binary statute breaker The schools
for defective youth in this and every
other state are as much the outgrOwth
of this class OF crime as our jails and
penitentiary are OF the statutory
crimes, which are also not infrequently
the result of hereditary instincts re-
sulting from improper marriages. Just
why such a marriage as the one which
occurred off Grays Harbor this week
should be subject OF congratulation
to anyone is beyond our comprehen-
