Curative Qualities of Fruit.

A celebrated physician divides fruit into five classes each possessing a special curative value-the acid, the sweet the astringent. the oily and the mealy.
 Cherries. straw berries, raspberries, gooseberries, peaches, apples, lemons and oranges belong to the acid fruits and have great merit. Cherries. how ever, are prohibited to those who have neuralgia of the stomach. straw berries and raspbcrries are recommend ed to those of bilious temperaments and denied to those Tn whom diabetes is suspected.
 plums prevent gout and articular rheumatism The grape is given the very first place. He is an advocate of what is known Tn Europe as the grape cure, which provides that for several da.ss the patient eats nothing but grapes, consuming from one to two pounds daily, with a gradual in crease to ten pounds After a few days of this diet the appetite improves and an increased capacity to endure fatigue is noticed, The grape cure is especially snited to persons @ho are anaemic, rheumatic, dyspeptic or con- sumptive.

PICTURESQUE WARRIORS.
Interesting Stories About Amazon
 Army on Guinea Coast.


 From the New York Herald.
 One of the most picturesque of the African institutions, which are fast disappearing as England. Germany and other European nations take pos session of the continent, is the Anna xop army of the Guinea coast. It IS possible that the stories told of these Amazons have been much exaggerated but the accounts of them given by en- tirely reliable authorities are toe interesting to need establishment oi any kind.
 When Captain Burton visited Cana in West Africa. the Amazon army, which he first encountered near the place. consisted of 2,500 women, who were served by other women, held as slaves for them.
 The Amazon soldiers consisted of women of two kinds - those who were originally spinsters selected by the king for the service, and those who had been separated from their husbands. Although enlistment is regarded as an honor, it was also used as punishment for any wife whose temper was so domineering that her hus band found her insurportahie.
 About one-third of the army had been married women. The rest were maidens, watched with the greatest care to prevent them from indulging in the human weakness of falling in love. A fetish, placed over the gate of the camp, was supposed to have the power of detecting them, but if in spite they broke their laws of military conduct they and their accomplices were put to death,
 Their uniform consisted of a blue and white tunic without sleeves and a pitticoat under which they wore a pair of short trousers, mhch like the bicycle hloomers Of the United States. Over the whole was strapped the am munition belt The muskets carried by the women were antiquated, and, as they rammed the ball down on the powder, without wadding, they were never likely to hit anything they aimed at.
 The Amazon army was divided into battalions, one of the most curious of which was the razor brigade" armed with razors two feet long, used in cutting off the heads of their enemies killed by others, or of crim inals con demned to death.

Laugh.

Learn to laugh, is the advice given bv a much-read writer. A good laugh is better than medicine Learn how to tell a story A well-told story IS as welcome as sunbeam in sick room. Learn to keep your own troubles to yourself. The world is too busy to care for your ills and sorrows. Learn to stop croaking. If you cannot see any good in the world. keep the bad to yourself. Learn to hide your pains and aches under pleasent smile. No one cares to hear whether you have earache, headache or rheumatism. Don't cry. Tears do we'll enough in novels. but they are out of place in real life. The good-h umored man or woman is always welcome, but the dyspeptic or hypochondriac IS not wanted anywhere, and is nuisance as well.

Keep Accounts.

Keeping household accounts is an affair, if not of necessity. still of the greatest wisdom, says an exchange In comparison with the small amount of the time and labor which the doing so employs the satisfaction of knowing at the end of each year how the fami- ly.funds have gone IS the ampest com pensation. One special satisfaction gained from keeping of household ac- counts is the ability when, or if the necessity arises to reduce expendi- lures on the outlay for luxuries and unnecessaries. The money spent for food, for medicine or for fuel is capable of far less reduction than that used for anus ements, for wages, or for clothing, and system of accounts which will show at once where ex penses can be lessened is entitled to respectful consideration.

A Hen Kills A Hawk.

A fierce combat between hawk and game hen, which resulted, strange to say, in the death of the hawk, occurred in Penuesylvania barnyard the other day. The hen saw the hawk coming and driving her brood to place of safety, she boldly turned to meet the foe. The hawk dropped like plummet from the up- per air. but the hen cleverly tucked and the two birds came together.
 Feathers flew in all directions. and within half . minute the spurs of the hen brought first blood. It was spur and bealS all the way through, and at fiist the advantage seemed to be with the hawk Finally, however the work of the spurs began to tell. By what sporting men would term a chance blow, the battle ended. The chicken managed to strike the hawks right wing up near the joint with it's spur, and the large bird was rendered defenseless. Then the chicken appar- ently lost it's head and landed into her disabled antagonist with hoth spurs and beak She literally tore open the throat of the hawk with her spurs,

The Increase of Homes.

From Leslie's Weekly,
 One of the best possible facts in the latter day progress of this country IS the incre ase in the number of homes. In crowded centers of population. such as New York and one or two other cities, the flat and the hotel must always be necessary, for space is too valuable to be monopolized by the humble But even around the very large cities there are being built thousands and thousands of suburban cottages and country residences, and all through the length and breadth of the country, in the towns, vil- lages and cities artistic homes are in- creasing at an astonishing rate. If anyone will take the trouble to look up the literature on the subject he will find that in this country there are more than hundred papers devoted to these home builders, giving them each week plans and suggestions. The number of books upon low priced architecture. written in the past tif- teen years, exceeds the total for a century previous. A wider education IS being spread, and the gain in every way is enormous.
 A man who owns his home is bet ter citizen, even if there is a mortgage on it. There is feeling of personal partnership in the protection of prop erty and the preservation of public order which makes him stand for what is best in law and government. It is the best possible thing for his wife and children; best for him and best for the country.

THE SIN OF FRETTING.
Everywhere Underestimated. - Yet
 Present.
II elen Hnnt Jackson.

II elen Hunt Jackson.
 There is one sin which, it seems to me, is everywhere and by everybody underestimated, and quite too much overlooked in valuation of character It Is the sin of fre'ting. It is common as air, as speech--so common that. unless it rises above it's usual mono tone, we do not even observe 1t. Watch any ordinary coming together of people, and sec how many minutes it will be before somebody frets- that is, makes more or less complaining statements of something or other. which probably everyone in the room or in the car. or on the street corner. it may be, knew before and probably nobody can help, Why say anything about it? 1t is cold, it is hot, it is wet, it is dry, somebody has broken an ap pointment, ill cooked d meal: stupidity or bad faith some where has resulted in discomfort There are plenty of things to fret about. 1t is simply as tonishing how much annoyance may be fonnd in the course of every day living even of the simplest if one keeps sharp eye on that side of things Fretting is all time wasted on life's road.

A Tax ON Tea.
Chicago Pos


Strange as it may seem, there Is one In
objection to a duty on the product II i'm
ports Tea merchants of Chicago and of all
other cities are In favor of the Dngley
bill and do not demur to the imposition of
a tax on tea. In fact some of them are
working hard to have duty of 10 cents
pound placed upon the weed. In doing so
they give several reasons, and since these
men are experienced in this line of business
and know what is for their interests
the reasons given must be good ones 1t is
beloved.
Several of the most prominent tea mer-
chants of this city, who were seen to-day
expressed themselves on the subject. In
brief they say that there are three distinct
benefits to be derived from a duty such as
they favor One is that il will give the gov
eminent revenue, and this without expense.
as the duty can be collected by the present
custom-house force.
Another point they emphasize is that bet
ter tea Will be sent here and Japan and
China will be compelled to keep their poor
product.
1he third reason is that not the United
States but the tea-growing countries must
bear the revenue. Instead OF merchants in
this country paying more for this article
they will make the Japanese lower prices
and not collect an export tax, as they
have done In some instances since coffee
and tea duties were repealed by the United
States government.
Tea prices already said TO be rising,
but they are not expected TO go up to a very
appreciable extent. One estimate Is that
the entire difference to the consumer never
will be more than one-tifth of cent a cup.
