Fruits to Eat and Those to Avoid.

Fruits as foods, are, then, peaches
apricots, nectarines; ripe, mellow an
pies; dates, figs, fresh and dried
prunes without skins; persimmons
papaws; very ripe or cooked bananas
guavas without seeds fresh or canned
without sugar; pineapples, grated OF
finely picked, never cut; mangoes.
grapes; sweet plums without skins
sugar cherries, and an occasional
cooked pear. Bartletts are excellent
when canned without sugar.
The fruits which must be used
sparingly are lemons, oranges, shad-
docks, currants, barberries, cranberries
and strawberries. This applies most
emphatically to those persons who are
inclined to uric acid conditions. The
rheumatic and equity should also most
rigidly abstain. The tender lining
OF child's stomach cannot, certainly.
bear such fruits any length of time:
serious results must follow. The ripe'
mellow peach is really the child's
fruit. Ladies' Home Journal.

Our trade with Eastern Asia, CONT
mental and island, consists chiefly in
simple articles such as emi-barbarous
nations produce on the one hand and
use on the other. We sell China
mineral oil, cotton cloth and wheat
We sell the East Indies mineral oil.
70 the more civilized natives on the
Pacific we sell our iron and steel man
utactures. Japan, since it has as
sumed place among civilized powers
buys iron and steel manufactures
from us and SO does Australasia, The
lesson is that it is directly for the in
Eerest of our manufacturers and ex-
Porters that Oriental countries shall
become civilized. The more civilized
they are the more of our products
they will buy, and the greater the
Aumber and diversity of products
they will require.

PRAYER BROKE THE DROUGHT.
The supplication Was for"a Gully Washer

The supplication Was for"a Gully Washer
Trash Mover and Pine Knot FIoater.n
1T was awfully dry in Georgi
once" remarked Mr.. George Dallas
"There had been no rain for weeks
and the corn and the cotton were burn
ing up IN the fields. The creeks ha,
begun to dry up and even springs tina
had never been known to fail CAV,
signs that their supply of the aqueous
fluid was running low. 1t began t.,
look as though relief could never com,
from the heavens. Day after day
blazing sun shone down from a cloud
less sky, blistering and whitening al
vegetation and expressing the hard
working sons and daughters of the
land with fear that distress would
soon be their portion-distress that
might take on starvation's form.
About this time the religious PEG.
pie OF the county began to hold prayer
meetings to invoke assistance of the
Deity. In every community the good
old farmers and their families assem-
bled to pray for rain. This was at an
epoch when the scientific ideas about
producing rain from explosives had
not gained foothold, and no fakirs
went about, as they lately have done
III Kansas and other parts of the west,
offering to bring showers at so much
per shower.
"No, indeed; these were the times
of simple faith and belief in the eff
cacy Of supplication to the Omnipo-
tent. In one neighborhood in the
county OF Coweta, where the drought
war particularly severe, q prayer meet
ing had been called for certain dav.
and at the time appointed congrega-
ton of several hundred sufferers met
to beg that the drought be broken.
1t CHANGED that a new preacher, who
had but lately come to that section.
and who was, as I remember, an ex-
ponent of the 'hard-shell' Baptist
creed, was called upon to make the
principal petition.
"He prayed fervently and with all
the tervor of an agonized spirit. 'O|
Lord, said he, Thou knowest our
distress. We beseech Thee, come to
our rescue. Lord, we don't want any
of your drizzle-d rozzles, but send US
instead a gully washer, trash mover
and pine knot foater. Amen.
Il hope I may never gain pardon
for my faults in the next world if
there didn't come within the next
thlrty-six hours after the delivery of
that prayer the biggest rain that had
ever descended on Coweta county.
The Oldest inhabitant couldn't remem.
Der such another deluge. 1t rained
about three days without stopping;
washed two-thirds of the fences
trough big region into the Chatta-
loochie river; swept away every bridge

worst of it was that those miserable
ountrymen who had melted the
preacher to pray his best wanted to
rum him out Of the country because

realty for rain. "-Washington Post.

We cannot, of course, in this wal
afford to initiate at any point the con-
duct which has for three centuries
made the name of Spaniard the syno.
nym for brutal ferocity, comments the
New York Press. But we should re-
member that we are fighting more
treacherouS and savage foes than our
troops have met among the aborigines
OF Arizona, and that, unlike those un-
tutored warriors, they are armed with
the glib cant of remonstrance and
justification, which they have bor-
rowed-the only thing that they have
oorrowed-from their neighbors, the
really civilized nations of Western En-
rope. 1t is all clinical, we presume,
the fruit of the one successful inva-
sion OF Europe from Africa, and the
lingering there of this blood faint of
the cruelty of desert tribes. But
there it is and it is to be reckoned
with.
