Fruit For breakfast.

Fruit of some kind-and under the
head of fruit all varieties Of melons
and berries belong-should be on
every well. breakfast table.
It is generally abundant in most sec
tons Of the country, and it's cost is
triAing when its healthfulness is taken
into consideration. There is dis
position, however, among housekeep-
ers to use fruit-both cooked and un-
cooked-on the tea or, supper table,
and exclude it from the breakfast ia
BILE, which seems contrary to the best
hygienic knowledge Of The subject.
The experience of our ancestors gave
them some tolerable correct opinions
in regard to diet, and the old proyerh
in regard to fruit being ''gold in the
morning, silver at noon and lead at
night" was formulated from practical
observation.

Row BoERs PITCH THEIR LAAGERs.
Always Put Tents Between Parallel Lines
of Hills

A. G. Hales, the Australian corre-
Epondent who was captured by the
Beers and released by President steyn,
writing froA Burghersdorp, says:
Possibly it may interest English
men ad women, too, for that matter,
to know what fighting laager is like,
and, as I have seen half dozen Of
them from the enemy's side Of the
wall, rough pen sketch may not be
arniss. IN war times the Boer never
under any circumstances makes his
iaager in the open country If there
are any kopjes about. No matter how
secure he may fancy himself from at
tack, no matter if there is not a foe
within fifty miles Of him, the Boer
commander always pitches his laager
in place Of safety between two par
allel lines Of hills, so that an attack
cannot be made upon him, either front
or rear, without giving him an i'm
mense advantage over the attacking
force, even if the enemy is ten times
as strong in numbers. BY this means
the Beers make their laagers almost
impregnable. If they have a choice Of
ground they pick narrow ravine or
gully, with line Of hills front and
rear, covered with small, rocky
.bowlders and bushes. They drive their
wagons in between these hills.
? ''Ihe women are placed in safety,
for it IS a noticeable fact that very
large numbers Of women have follow
ed their husbands and brothers to the
war, not to act as viragoes, not to un-
sex themselves, nor to handle the rife,
but nurse the wounded, to comfort
the dying and to lay out the dead. /
have heard them singing round the
camp 6res in the starlight, but it was
hymns that they sang, not ribald
songs. I have seen them kneeling by
the side Of men in the moonlight, but
not in wantonness, but in mercy, and
many man who wears the British
uniform to-day can bear me witness
mat speak the truth.
''The foot scouts take up their posi-
lions among the rocks and shrubs on
the hills in front and rear OF the
is2ger. Each scout has his rife in
his hand, his pipe in his teeth, his
;oandolier full Of cartridges over his
shoulder and his scanty blanket un-
der his left arm. No fear Of his sleep
ing at his post. He is fighting for
honor, not for pay; for home, not for
glory, and he knows that on his acute
ness the lives Of all may depend. He
knows that his comrades and the wo-
men trust him, and he values the trust
as dearly as British soldiers ever did.
No matter how tired he may be, no
matter how famished, the Boer senti-
mel is never faithless to his orders"

The Part She Didn't Like.

The other day a wee little woman
who lives in suburb saw and heard a

her father came home at night he
heard the adjectives all over again.

To Prohibit Scandalous Publications.

1t has been proposed in New York
to prohibit by law the publication of
scandalous matter found on the per-
sons or in the possession Of suicides
or Of those who have attempted sui
eide. This would be q good thing to
do. Persons who take their own lives
are often insane If not actually
deranged, their minds are in so morbid
q condition as to unfit them for calm
and accurate statement. It often hap
pens that, with the intention Of ex-
planning their act, they leave letter or
scrap Of paper which reflects cruelty
upon the character of one or more
living persons. The newspapers print
the letter under prominent headlines,
and the injured person has no redress.
A mere denial counts for little, and
there IS no defence against the caIum-
MES Of the dead.

PRESERVING ORANGES,
New Process Which is Said TO Be Better
Than Cold Storage.

Hhh NOAN SsSAN6S'
The Southern California Fruit Ezs
change, with headquarters in Los
Angeles, has for some time been ex-
perimenting WITH a new system Of
preserving oranges while in process
of shipment. Last year, experiments
were made with good results, but the
matter was undertaken too late in the
season for anything definite to be de-
termined. The question has been
taken up again this year, and, early
as the orange season is, the Fruit E1-
change is preparing to announce the
complete success in every particular
of it's new system.
R. R. Snowden, of Los Angeles, is
the inventor, and the process con-
sists in fumigating the oranges with
certain gases before shipment, in
order to kill the fungus which is the
cause of the decay.
Test shipments have been made
from California to Kansas City
and, upon the arrival of the cars here,
it was found that of the natural fruit
which was uniced and untreated
chemically, the decay was ten per
cent; OF the iced fruit two per cent,
was spilled; while of the portion that
was treated by this new process of
using gases, only one per cent. was
unfit for use. II to this be added the
fact the cost OF the new treatment is
very much below that of using ice, as
is at present done, it can readily be
seen how vastly important is the new
invention. The cost Of icing car.
load of oranges across the continent
is about S120, whilei has been rough
lily estimated that $40 will cover the
cost Of the chemical process.
l.. b. Cochrane, Of the firm Of
W. G. Cochrane & Son, agents in this
city for the Southern California Fruit
Exchange, talked interestingly yes
terday of the new method. "There
is not the slightest room for doubt"
he said, "that our new chemical pro-
cess has proven q success. Not only
Is the fruit preserved better IMAM By
The ase of ice, but the saving in cost
Is tremendous. Just what the cost is
Of using gases we do not know exact
", as there seems to be considerable
secrecy surrounding the details of the
matter, in California. But that it will
cevolutionize the present methods Of
shipping fruit there can be little ques-
lion.
"We are expecting several more
,onsignments treated by the new
method in a few days, but we are
1uite sure that the results there will
bear out the experiments and the
tests already made. .''-Kansas City
