Mrs. Rcrer Tells the Best Kinds-How
They Should Be Served.

They Should Be Served.
Fruits are more appetizing and, per-
haps, more easily digested if taken in
the early part of the day-whether or
not before the breakfast must be- de-
termined by the eater.
Grapes, oranges and shaddocks may
be served before the cereal. Baked ap-
pies, peaches, baked bananas, figs, dates,
prunes or stewed fruits should be served
at the close Of the breakfast.
Raisins, sultanas, dried figs and
prunes should be soaked thoroughly, SO
that they may take up the same amount
of water with which they have parted
in the process of drying, and should
then be heated just enough to soften the
skins
The subacid fruits, such as apples,
figs, dates, peaches, persimmons, pears,
prunes and apricots, are, perhaps, the
best of the winter fruits and may be
used to good advantage with animal
foods.
Acid fruits must at all times be used
most sparingly, especially by persons
inclined to rheumatic troubles. The
continued use of an orange or shaddock
before breakfast will diminish the pow
er of stomach digestion, for which rea-
son they should be served with cereals
or such foods as require only intestinal
digestion.
The papaw and pineapple belong to a
class alone They contain a vegetable
pepsin which assists In the digestion Of
the heterogeneous principles. These fruits,
then, may be served with meats and
will aid in their digestion. When served
with bread and butter, they do not form
so good diet. They are more digestible
raw than cooked, as the heat destroys
the activity Of the ferments
Apples as rule are more easily d.
gested cooked than raw, although raw
apples are more palatable.
The fashion Of adding sugar to fruits
should be avoided, as they have already
been endowed with sufficient amount
of sugar, and as all the starch and cere-
ais are converted into sugar any further
amount would be stored in the system,
to it's detriment. If our bilious friends
would throw aside their liver pills and
with them sugar, they might be free
from much discomfort. Mrs. S. L.
Rorer in Ladies' Home Journal.

The first business of the morning session
on Tuesday was the joint meeting for the
purpose of inaugurating Acting Governor
Voorhees,.
The Senate, preceded by the Chief JUS
tice, Secretary of State, Rev. DIR. Dixon,
and the new Governor, proceeded to the
Assembly chamber. President pro tenn
Skirm presided. After prayer by Rev. DIR
Dixon, the oath of Office was administered
by the Chief Justice.
great seal of the state was delivered to
Gov. Voorhees, by the Secretary of State.
In accepting it, Gov. Voorhees, said
''Mr. President, fellow members and
fellow citizens: accept the trust which
an unusual occurrence in the affairs of
State has brought to me with an abiding
sense of the obligation which such an ac-
ceptance implies. 1t shall be my constant
aim and endeavor to discharge the duties
of that trust in the interest of all the peo-
pie of our State. 1 recognize the fact that
my selection is not due to direct express
sion of the people, but it has been made
in accordance with their will, as found in
the fundamental law of the land These
claims upon my time and upon my best
service in their behalf are in no way les
sened by reason of this fact It shall,
therefore, be my constant aim to do every
thing whereby the honor of the State and
the interest and welfare of its people, from
the highest to the humblest, may be pro-
NOTED. That such may be the result of
my labors in this new calling is my most
earnest wish and hope, and to this end
invoke the aid of Almighty God, the ruler
of nations, and ask the counsel, sympathy
and support of my fellow-citizens."
Rev. Eli Clifford pronounced the bene-
diction and the joint meeting adjourned.
Gov Voorhees, then proceeded to the
Executive Chamber, where he held pub
lie reception.
The Senate resumed business.

PHILADELPHIA, Monday, Feb. 7, 1898

PHILADELPHIA, Monday, Feb 7, 1898.
Wanamaker's sis household word.
1t is considered generally as a great
big store, where quite lot of peo-
pie are employed, where pretty
much everything is sold. But let's
look into it a little more carefully.
Let us see how big it is-and bet
ter, how good it is.
We speak of the Philadelphia
store alone. The New York store
is a counterpart-not quite so large,
but growing and growing to catch
up.
There are eighteen acres of floor
space in this rambling strong old
building that varies from three to
six stories high.
There are six acres more room in
the several outside buildings we
need and use.
There are eighteen elevators
ten for passengers.
There is restaurant that easily
serves three thousand orders daily.
At holiday times we had five
thousand two hundred and five peo-
pie employed (over three thousand
in New York-over 5000 in alp.
We have extra help then, but the
census keeps close to four thousand
in Philadelphia all the time.
In a single month we have sold
something over two million dollars
worth of goods-more than all the
department stores and dry goods
stores in Richmond, Virginia, sell
in a year.
And still we state these facts
with no wish to boast. They prove
something.
This store has no patents on
business methods. 1t has grown
from nothing simply through de-
serving to grow.
Each year we send twenty-five
buyers to Europe and Asia to gather
fine and odd and useful goods for
your enjoyment. We'd like to sell
only American goods-which means
thatwe shall welcome the day when
American manufacturers can more
nearly supply every want.
And this store has distinct field.
1t does not depend for favor or bust
ness upon your neglect of home
stores. Don't neglect them. Those
merchants are your townsmen, your
taxpayers, your neighbors. Buy
from them all you can. We don't
sell groceries because grocery SELL
ing is unnecessary-you can be
fully supplied with them anywhere.
But where wide range of selec-
ton in fabrics is an advantage,
where our frequent trade move
ments mean large economy-where
you must depend on a city store,
of course it is fair to presume that
the store good enough to grow by
your favor into the biggest retail
store in America, still merits that
favor. Its latch-String hangs out.
We haven't said a word about
goods-yet, spring stocks here and
coming exceed in value four mil
lion dollars. We answer letters
promptly and fill orders carefully.
But come if you can. The store is
enjoyable.
John Wanamaker.

A FINE exhibition of the intelligence Of
a jury was exhibited in recent murder
case where the verdict contained recon-
mendation to mercy. Two members OF
the jury have signed paper that they
believed the act would save the murderer
from the death sentence. Yet such lack
of intelligence is hardly surprising when
one takes into consideration the fact that
in drawing murder juries the main object
seems to be to secure members who have
not formed any opinion of the case. In
these days when every subject is discussed
literally it is hard to secure juror with
out opinion" When such one is secured
there should not be surprise at any of his
actions.

Isaac Bacon received letter from him
Wednesday evening, stating that he was
working and asking that his clothes be
sent to him. Two men with whom Haney
was last seen were arrested, but were dis
charged because of lack of evidence.
J. Leavitt Griggs, son of Attorney
General Griggs, was aroused from his
slumber by the cries of fire in Paterson
early on Thursday morning. He hastily
dressed, ran to the fire-box on the corner,
and turned in an alarm. Then he ran
across to the burning house occu pied by
Lawyer Willard P. Shaw, and assisted in
safely guiding the family and servants out
of the burning building. The damage
will not exceed $500. Mr.. Shaw and
family were given shelter by young
Griggs. The origin of the fire is I'M
known.

NOTES AND OPINIONS.

President McKinley's position on sound
money is not likely to be disputed again
by Republican Senators who are weak
kneed on silver.
Mr.. Bryan touches lightly on the fact
that Mexican labor receives but one
fourth the wages of American labor. But
intelligent workingmen will not overlook
the point.
Senator Smith, of New Jersey, explains
that he is for the Teller resolution, as a
party measure, but opposed to it prac-
tically and legally. The distinction made
is either very profund or very absurd.
That part of President McKinley's ad-
dress at the banquet of the National As
sociation of Manufacturers at New York
which touched on the national finances
will be read with profound interest
throughout the world. "The money of the
United States" he said, 'is and must for
ever be unquestioned and unassailable.
Nothing should ever tempt us-nothing
shall ever tempt us-to scale down the
sacred debt of the nation through a legal
technicality. Whatever may be the Ian
guage of the contract, the United States
will discharge all its obligations in the
currency recognized as the best through
out the civilized world at the time of pay
ment'
This language is clear, pointed and spe-
cific. 1t meets Quintillian's requirement
that it means exactly what its author de-
signed it to mean, and what all its hear
ers and readers know it to mean, and that
it can not be made to mean anything else.
1t means that the word coin in the ma
tional obligations will be translated gold
while the Republican party remains in
power.
Equally explicit and courageous was
the Presidents assertion in favor of re-
forming the country's financial laws.
''Under existing conditions" he declared,
"our citizens can not be excused if they
do not redouble their efforts to secure
such financial legislation as will place
their honorable intentions'-tha is, to
keep all the country's currency up to the
gold line, and to pay all coin debts in
gold when gold is demanded-"b beyond

It was Pope Telesphorus, who died
before the year $50 A. D., who institut-
ed Christmas as a festival, though for
some time it was irregularly held in
December, April and May. But for CEN
turtles before there had been feast of
Yule among the northern nations, whose
great enjoyment was in drinking the
wassail bowl or cup. Nothing gave
them SO much delight as indulgence in
''carousing ale, !" especially at the sea-
son of short days, when fighting was
ended. 1t was likewise the custom at all
their feasts for the master of the house
to fill large bowl or pitcher, to drink
out of it first himself and then give to
him that sat next, and SO it went
around. " This may have been the origin
of that popular American custom known
as creating" 1t is certain that upon
our Christian observance of this glorious
day have been migrated habits taken
