NATURES COLOR BOX.
Fruits and Vegetables When Prop
eFly Used, Help to Enhance
Human LONELINESS.

Mother nature is great artist. and
will beautify the plaincst face if she
has a chance. 1t sometimes takes
months or even years for her to ccm-
plete her task, but it can be done with
patience and full surrender to the in
visible genius, says the New York
Herald,
Onions, from leelis to Bermudas, are
bleaching, and so are lemons, aspara-
gus and celery. Spinach is the broom
OF the stomach, as the French say, and
sorrel, in soup of PURGE, as they cook it
in the provinces and at the students
restaurants in the Latin Quarter, is a
great beautifier. Dandelion, lettuce
and all the salads will bring out the
red and white tints of the skin. -
Beets, carrots, tomatoes, strawber-
ries, raspberries, cherries and black
berries are red and blood making, de-
veloping infantile loneliness in cheek
and lips if eaten, not now and then, but
three times q day. This is the fruit
cure or Garden of Eden breakfast, and
it will be remembered that Eve had no
patent medicines, cosmetics or doctors.
Pineapple is good for the stomach
and air passages. Rice, all cereals and
white, vegetables, such as cauliflower
and parsnips, are wholesome. But
pickles and piercrust, hot cakes and
too many sweets will make one look
pasty, because they lack the acids and
salts which nature needs to cleanse her
machinery. Oil she must have, too,
from the olive and nut, to keep the in
ternal wheels revolving.

woMEN's ODD PETS
Pigs, Frogs, Turkeys and Even Mice
Have Found Favor with Do.
thu Ladies'.

Some minds are strikingly original,
even in the choice of pets. Certainly
this was the case with the wife of n
gentleman farmer who made a pet of
pig. The animal lost it's mother
early, and the lady, taking pity on the
little orphan, bore it off to the kitchen,
where she succeeded, by the aid of a
feeding bottle, in rearing it.
The pig became great pet, and used
to follow its owner like a dog. 1t
could hardly have been it's outward
attraction that won her heart; it must
have been it's qualities which endeared
it to her.
Another very singular pet was a
frog, which was tanned by a young
girl in the country and would come out
from under the leaves at her approach
to be fed with n strawberry.
A lady who was confined to her room
had fowl which, before her illness,
was a constant companion. 1t used to
be regularly brought to her room every
morning to see her and to be fed by
her own hands, and allowed to take
a short walk about her room.
Another member of the feminine
gender actually made pet of a turkey,
and declared it should never be
eaten, but die in it's own good time"
which it did of old age.
A much more extraordinary in
stance of a strange pet, for a woman
at any rate, was where an old lady so
far overcame the natural repugnance
of her sex as to tame n mouse which
had been caught in her store cupboard.
So successful was her treatment that
at last the tiny animal would take
crumbs from it's mistress fingers.
