THE FRUIT CURE.
The First Effect on the Patient is n
Noral One.

Or. Felix l.. Oswald in the Chautauquan.
The benefit of fruit cure generally ex-
tends to the moral constitution. One OF
my fellow travellers on the Texas prairies
described the amenties of a camp on the
strawberry plains Of the Red river. where
cares were forgot while the berries lasted.
and the campers enjoyed buoyancy of
spirits tfat could hardly be attributed to
the bracing climate alone. The month of
May does happen to bring a period Of al
most ideal weathe. in that la.i ,ude, but our
wagon master inclined to the vegetarian

The Present Lord Tennyson.
rom the London Week.

Lord Tennyson. the son and heir of the
late laureate. is as unlike his great father
as possible. Yet the great poet and his
heir were always on the most affectionate
terms; indeed, Hallam Tennyson. as he
then was, was almost daughterly in his
care of the old man. and whenever the
laureate came to town he was always ac-
companied by his son. The present Lord
Tennyson was forty-6ve years of age last
August. Since his fathers death he has
developed into regular country gentle
ran. He is squire of Freshwater, Round
hurst and Castor. and he is rarely seen in
London, his time being entirely spent be-
tween Farringford, his beautiful home in
the Isle of Wight. and Aldworth, in Surrey.
His great hobbies are golfing and yachting.
and he has a magnificent collection of
British fossils.

The Birds Balance of Power
From the Youths Companion.


In recent lecture Prof. Wilmer Stone of
Philadelphia cited many facts to show that
birds are natures great check on the ex-
cess of insects, and that they keep the bal
ance between plants and insect life. Ten
thousand caterpillars. it has been esti-
mated. could destroy every blade of grass
on an acre of cultivated ground In thirty
days from the time it is Matched an ordi-
nary caterpillar increases 10000 times in
bulk, and the food it lives and grows on
is vegetable. The insect population of a
single cherry tree infested with aphides
was calculated by an eminent entomologist
at no less than 12.0OO.0OO. The bird popu-
lation OF cultivated districts has been es.i-
mated at from 100 to 1000 per square mile.
This Is small compared with the number of
insects: yet as each bird consumes hun
dreds Of insects every day. the latter are
prevented from becoming the scourge they
would be but for their feathered enemies

GRADING THE PENSIONS.
Fixing the Oficers' Pay ON Retirement
for Disa billy.

In making up their estimates for the
support Of the District during the COM
ing fiscal year, the attention of the Com
missioners was directed to the police pen
sion fund: 1t was found that in case OF
disability or retirement from old age, Off
GERS were to receive $50 per month, without
regard to rank This was deemed unequal,
and 1t was decided today to insert in the
new appropriation bill provision for the
retirement of the major and superintendent
at salary of 1925 per month; of the cap
tain Of 500 per month and Of lieutenants
OF 800 per month. This they believe to be
nearly equal, and they will urge Congress
to pass law with that in view.
