FRUITS AS A DIET.
of Great Value, Fresh or Cooked, as
Health Preservative.

From the New York Press.
Every one knows the value of fruit as a
diet. Not only in It's natural state, but in
various cooked forms, 1t is of use. Oranges
and lemons are regular items in the pro-
visioning of many households. Delicious
orange marmalade Is easy and inexpensive
to make. orange ices, cakes and buildings
are always welcome. From orange peel
may be made a cordial that Is of great
value in certain forms of Indigestion. Or
ange peel should not be eaten too freely.
1t produces a certain form of eruption re-
sembling eczema, which, while not perma-
uent, is annoying and dishguring.
Lemons are household necessities and
when judiclously used are OF great value.

Grapes without The seeds are nature s
panacea for many Of the ills OF life. The

favorites, while Maagas and Tokays are
the most welcome foreign Sorts Grapes
sometimes are stewed and canned, but are

BRAINS REPAIRED.

Polished and Sharpcned by an Expert.
What are brains made Of?
Albumen and delicate particles OF
Phosphate Of Potash. Chemical exam
nation of the perspiratIon and urine
will determine the amount of recent
brain work, by the amount Of Phos-
phate OF Potash found, for these deli
cate particles are thrown out from
brain and nerve centers during nervous
activity, and find their way back to
earth through pores, kidneys, bowels,
etc.
There is but one true way to repair
the daily losses, and that way is to fur
nish the body with food containing q
sufficient amount OF these two ele-
ments. When the brain is not properly
fed, the evidence Is shown by a grad
ual decrease In the mental and physlc-
al powers Of the body.
A food expert OF the Postum Cereal
Co.. Linn, at Battle Creek, Mich, has
prepared crisp, dainty and delicious
food for the express purpose Of quickly
and surely rebuilding the brain and
nerve centers and has given It the name
Of Grape-Nuts.
This food is made by selecting the
proper parts Of grains and treating
them by heat, moisture and time in
practically the same manner Nature
does I'm the human body during the
first part Of digestion. The result Is
that the finished food not only contains
the needed elements for brain building,
but they are ready to be presented tn
Mother Nature In such shape that
she quickly absorbs and uses them.
The good. solid, substantial results oh
tanned every day by people who use
Grape Nuts, prove the facts.
The new food Is found in all first
class grocery stores, and Is one OF the
most toothsome and palatable novelties
yet produced, in the way OF food. re-
quiring no cooking or preparation OF
any sort, but. on the contrary. It is
ready for immediate use and suited to
the athlete, brain worker, epicure, or
invalid.

and II will be true OF Ingersoll. As our
text says, HE shall fly away as q
dream and shall not be found"
But Christianity with prayer on her
lip; a benediction on her. brow, and
with both hands full Of help; the moth
er of thousands OF colleges: the mother
Of thousands Of orphanages, and asyl-
ums for the oppressed. the blind. the
sick, the lame, the imbeclle; the mother
of thousands Of reformatOry institu-
lions for saving the lost; the mother OF

our children for responsibility and use-
fulness, this Christianity, our blessed
Christianity, will march on conquering
and to conquer, with the weapons OF
truth and love until every knee shall
bow to Jesus and every tongue confess
him Lord Of all.
And amid the trials and sorrows OF
life when men want comfort, and peace
and wisdom they will go to the Bible,
not to Paine's Age Of Reason; to the
Bible, not to anyone Of VOltaire's $50
volumes; to the Bible, not to Ingersoll's
Ghosts" or his Skulls" or his Mis-
takes Of Noses" All, when these shall
have been relegated to the abode OF the
owls and the bats, the Bible will have
greater influence than at the present
time.
And now It is all over: "the silver
cord has been loosed, the golden bowl
broken Man is like to vanity. His
days ara as a shadow that paBSeth
away" With no tender farewell, with
no expressed hope Of meeting his dear
wife and children again, Ingersoll bow
ed his head and gave up the ghost. He
lived a Christless life. he died Christ
less death; he shall lie in a Christless
grave. How dark How sad! Speak
softly, tread lightly. think solemnly, for
we are in the presence OF the dead!
Take the last look at his splendid form.
Gently close his coffin, and take all
that remains mortal OF him to his rest
ing place in Sleepy Hollow cemetery.
Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust
to dust" This is the end of all the
living; may the living lay It to heart :"
But when that coffin goes out Of the
front door and down the steps II leaves
a house lonesome, with no hope, no b.
BILE, no Christ. How dark! How sad!
Who can give any comfort and conso-
Iation to Ingersolls wife and children
as they look upon his face for the last
time, or as his coffin is lowered into the
grave. The life that was dark vale
between two barren peaks Of eternity
is ended. "They which have seen him
0hall say where is he? He shall fly
away like dream, and shall not be
found"

Grounds by the Retail Butchers Pro-
tectIve Association, will be big sue
cess. The preparations are complete,
and the character of the programme is
such as to guarantee big crowd OF
the friends OF the members Of the or

2:20 pace, the other running race. One
OF the racing features will be go be-
tween horse and Henry, the Bridge
port foot racer. Henry goes a quarter
Of mile and the horse half mile.
A cake walk VIII be one OF the anus
ing features OF the occasion, and the
usual calf and lamb-killlng contest will
be OF extraordinary interest. Bicycle
races for boys between the ages OF
twelve and fifteen years and other at
fractions viii complete the pro-
gramme.
Charles Rohrig is chief marshal Of
the parade. W. Il. Bowers, j. c. Med
lex, b. Gartner, John Rehm are aides;
Charles Knlbitzer is adjutant, and
Fred. Adolph. Henry Zilles and George

SEVERAL CHANGES

In LInsIy Institutes Management.
AIessrs W. II. Hearne and 3. W.
Peterson, the New Trustees-Pro.
spects for the School Year Of .
Bright hue.
The new catalogues Of the Linsly
Institute contain several changes, which
will be noted by all interested in edu-
catlonal work.
A glance at the book will reveal OF
once the absence OF the name Of Hon.
A. w. Campbell, who formerly stood ct
the head of the board OF trustees. But
q worthy successor is found in the
name OF Mr.. A. ]. Clarke, while Rev.
Jacob Brittingham appears, for the
first time, as vice president. DR.. John
L. Dlckey continues as secretary, and
Mr.. r. c. Dalzell as treasurer. Two
new names appear among the mem-
bers, by the selection Of whom. the
wiscdom OF the board was demonstra-
ted. They are Mr.. William n. Hearne
and Mr.. B. Walker Peterson.
The resignation Of DR.. John III. Birch
as principal, causes the name Of Lieut..
B. G. Dent, u. S. N. to stand at the
head OF the faculty. With him are as
ISOLATED Leo r. Brllles, A. NJ, William
H. Hill, A. B., and Jesse B. Churchill,
B. s.
The curriculum has been re-nrranged
and a post graduate course offered to
graduates OF this and other institu-
lions.
The fall term is announced to begin
on Monday, September II, and the ca
diets will be in military camp from this
date to the 18th.
The prospects for next year are UNI
usually encouraging, the military camp
appeals strongly to the boys OF Wheel
ing and vicinity. and this feature alone
has caused many youth to decide to
take advantage of the opportunity by
wearing the Linsly gray. The board Of
trustees and the faculty are enthusiasts
tic over the bright prospects. and are
indefatigible in their efforts to increase
the attendance and maintain the high
standard of the institution, which for
eighty-si& years has stood unpurallel-
ed. The patrons Of the school are men-
toned In the catalogue, as the best ref
erences for work done, and their salts
faction and endorsement insure success
for the future.

The passing away Of Colonel Robert
G. Ingersoll. the great agnostlc, was
referred to in several Wheeling
churches yesterday. and furnished the
theme for an able discourse last even
ing, at the Third Presbyterian church.
by Rev. R. R. Bigger! ph D.. and
which was heard by large congrega-
ton. Rev. Mr.. Bigger had often ex-
pressed the wish Of speaking on Inger-
soils death. His sermon was as fol-
lows;
"They which have seen him shall say,
where Is he? He shall fly away as a
dream and shall not be found."-Job
2O:7-s.
He is dead! Ingersoll is dead. There
he lies in deaths cold embrace. hlF
hands folded forever across his pulse
less heart, every feature fixed as the
cold marble-forever fixed. Not sim
gle motion in the stifCened limbs, no
ray Of life in the dlmmed eye. Not a
word, not a look, not smile can you
extort. Nothing but unbroken silence.
He lies voiceless, speechless, silent
dust. MAN dieth and wasteth away:
yea, man giveth up the ghost, and
where is he?" The rider on the white
horse, whose name is death, has done
his work, and that body lies before me
in It's shroud. decaying mass of cor
ruption, soon to be consigned to the
cold and silent grave.
Think OF the lonesomeness in which
It will be left. Think of the darkness
in which 1t will be confined; the COM
panions with which death will shut him
up. 81 have said to corruption thou
art my father; to the worm thoT art
my mother, and my sister" Yes, the
champion blasphemer Of America IS
dead; and as our text says he and his
influence shall fly away as dream
and shall not be found" There is no
work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor
wisdom in the grave whittier thou
goest." In few years, all that remains
mortal Of this Infldel you can hold In
the hollow Of your hand. Surely the
bitterness OF death is past and his soul
has been summoned into the immedi-
ate presence of God. 1t has passed that
boundary which can never be re-pass-
