APPLES AS FOOD.
Do tors Disagree hut Majority Speak
 Well of This Fruit.


 The theory h.. been advanced by some learned authorities that the ap- Fle is not | wholesome article of food. Doubtless in individual cases this has proven to be the ca Q. but it is hard to believe that fruit that almost every one likes, aaa one which can be grown freely and in practically unlimited quantities in all temperate climates, was not intended for the use Of man. There are other authorities. however, who come to the rescue and so highly recommend the apple that We conclude that where doctors disagree we must depend upon our own iudgmant and experience To quote from we'll FhoWn American authorities. the apple . Is composed of vegetable fiber. albu- men, slgaf, acid, gum, chlorophyl, ma lie and galic acids. lime and water, and contains as well a larger pefcent- age of phosphorus than any other fruit or vegetable. This analysis would in- dIcate that there must be considerable food value in apples. and on account of the phosphorus they are well adapt ed for renewing the essential nervous matter. There is an old Scandinavian legend to tae effect that what was represented in their traditions as the food for the gods was resortea to by them when they felt themselves grow ing feeble and infirm to renew their powers of mind and body They are recommended to persons of sedentary habits who are apt to have trouble on account of torpid liyers, which are slow in their work of eliminating the wasted material of the body which. if retained. makes the brain he5yy and dull and may in time cause rhepma- tism, jaundiee, skin eruptians. and troubles of like nature.

SOME WHY'S ANSWERED.
The Ancient anu Curious oriyln of ra-
n1i.alr Customs.

hilisslF SustOtnSs
 It is not surprising what a number of little things we do without knowing the reason. Why, for instance, do widows wear caps? Perhaps they may say because thes@ make them look pretty and interesting. But the real reason is that when the Romans were in England they shaved their heads as a sign of mourning. Of course d woman couldn't let herself be seen with a bald head so she made herself a pretty cap. And now, though the necessity of wear ing it has passed away, the cap re- mains. Why do we have bows on the left side of our hats? In olden times, when men were much in the open air and hats couldn't be bought for half a dollar, it was the habit to tie a cord around the crown and let the ends fail. on the left side to be grasped on the arising of a squall. They fell on the left side so they might be grasped by the left hand, the right usually being more usefully engaged. Later on, the ends got to be tied in bow, and later still, they became useless, yet the bow has remained and will probably re- main till the next deluge or something of that sort. What is the meaning of the crosses or Ks on q barrel of beer? They signify degrees of quality nowa- days But originally they were put on by those ancient monks as sort of trademark. They were crosses in those o,at f cross, sworn by the manufacturer that his barrel contained good liquor Why are bells tolled for the dead? This has become so familiar practice that a funeral without would appear un- Christian. Yet the reason is quite bar barous. Bells were tolled long ago, when peoplewere being buried in order to frighten away the evil spirits who lived in the air. Why do fair ladies break bottle of wine on tlta ship they are christening? Merely another sur Vival of bar5aric custom In the days of sacrifice to the gods il WIS custom ary to get s0ne poor victim when ! boat was being launched and to cut his throat oEel the prow, so tGat his blood baptized t. Why are disnitarias deafened by d salute when they visit a foreign pert? It seems ! curious sort of welcome, this firing off of guns, but it seems the custom arose in very reasonable way. Originally. town or a Wa1ship fired off their guns on the approach of important and friendly strangers tO show that theY had SucIl faith in the visitors, peaceful inten- tions they dIdn4 think it necessary to keep their guns loaded. Why do VIC sometimes throw shoe after q bride? The reason is not very complimentary From of old it has been the habit of mothers to chastise their children with shoe. Hence the custom arose of the father of a bride making q present to the bridegroom of shoe. as sign that it was to be his right to keep her in order.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Vinegar for Salads.

The ordinary manufactured Vinc2arS are just a little too strong for the average salad. They may be diluted or lemon juice may be used instead. A good rule to remember is that Sd lads made from uncooked vegetables. such as cress or lettuce, are better served with lemon juice. while those cooked, as string beans, caulifloWer and asparagus, are better with tarra- gon vinegar. It is better i'll mixing salad dressing, to mix the oil, salt and pepper together, and then add at the last the vinegar. giving a few rap i'd beats to make the emulsion perfect. It must go at once over the salad Vim egar poured over the lettuce first gives an exceedingly sharp taste as the oil runs off. Where the oil is put over first and the vinegar last you have much plcasanter effect.

The report that ho would be can

TROUBLE AT CLEMSON.
Prof. w. 3. Morrison FIguros In Tho
Disturbance.
[Spartanburg Journal.

lopafIanDurS journal.
Serious trouble is reported from
Clemson college. A representative of
this paper has secured reliable infor-
nation Of m uprising of students and
of an assured victory of the students.
1t is thought the trouble will cause
ono Of tho professors who is we'll
known there to cease to be member
of the faculty.
1t seems that rocontly Prof. w. S.
Morrison, teachor of history, gave
great oifense to somo members Of the
senior class and that tho professor
had become very obnoxious to many
members of the student body. In
late instance some Of tho students be-
came grossly insulted, and Cadet
Lister, football loader, organized
himself into n grievance committee
and demanded an apology. An an
mated conversation occurred between
teacher and pupil. Prof. Morrison
carried the case to tho faculty and,
it is claimed by tho students, sup
pressed somo OF the facts Lister
WI 8 suspended
The students, particularly the
senior class, were angered by this
action. 1t happened that it was
time for a meeting of trustees and
the matte: was brought to their at
tention. Notice was served in dig
nified manner by the seniors thet if
Lister WAS not Immediately reinstated
the entire class would loave, and the
juniors made !. similar announce-
mont.
1t is said that the trustees ordered
Lister reinstated at once and ordered
Prof. Morrison to apologize to the
boys, which he did. The trustees
are also said to have assured the bows
that they would only have to accept
apology as temporary expedient,
from which it is inferred that Prof.
Morrison will resign.
Prof Morrison is we'll known in
the city and county, having been edu-
Gated at Woffor' nd having lived
at We]lfor1 Z, n fno +oooL.
and is generally respected. Itseems,
however, that he has always been
somewhat savere towards his pupils
and uprisings against him by the
boys have been narrowly averted
several times. While superintendent
of public schools at Greenville he
WAS attacked by mayor S. A. Townea
because Townes' son had been go.
verely whipped by the professor.

times, daily increasing until March

WAsHINGTON's CHERRY TREE.
schemes Which the Postonice Department
Should Put Stop to-Peopio Llke
to Be Humbugged
Abbeville Press and Banner, 18th.

George Washington and his hatch
ct were immortalized and made fam
GUS forever by the cherry tree which
he cut down with his little axe, and
the lie which he would not tell. No
| matter what success his historian
may have had along the line of tic-
tlon, it is stated as a fact that George
Washington couldn't tell lie.
The association long ago Of truth
fulness and cherry trees may have
inspired the nursery folk that they
have gone into the cherry business
as specially, even at this remote
date. The remembrance of Georges
axe and his honest confession, may
have led a majority of the Americans
of this day to believe that the nur-
seryman who produced cherry trees
had the same startling quality for
which George was distinguished.
The eagerness with which pretty
women of this country accept the
most illusive promises about cherry
trees can only be accounted for on
the assumption that they believe nur.
serymen to be like George Washing-
ton-unable to tell lie. If this
we're not true, can any man who
walks the face q The earth, explain
how nurseryman can give $24O for
the sale of $12 worth of cherry treesr
Except on the ground of belief that
nurserymen could not tell a lie, and
are immensely rich and are possessed
of the desire TO dispense benefactions,
we do not see how any living crea-
ture could be led into such an easy
trap. Of the desire of good and
honest women to secure al agency
at an outlay Of $l2, IN cherry trees,
whereby they can earn $24O, we are
reminded of what the Confederate
soldier said Of some Of the women in
the neighborhood where they we're
camping: aye gods, how we men
can fool the women"
This community has suffered from
another scheme. AS we understand,
a certain newspaper offered employ
ment for twelve months at 500 q
month, or $240 for club Of 25 sub
scribers to his paper. Owing to the
gullability of this people and the in.
nocence of we'll meaning agents, four
such clubs were made up in Abbe.
vile, and at least one man explained
at the post Office that he did not sub
scribe for it. He made the impress
sion that he was ashamed to be seen
taking it out of the post Office.
But, like measles and mumps,
whooping cough and chicken pox,
these illusive schemes run their
course, and for lack of material to
work on they disappear, and the fact
that they once existed is a memory.
These schemes go we know where.
We are equally ignorant of the fate
that awaits the nurseryman and the
newspaper that resorts to any scheme
whereby innocent and hopeful peo
pie arc induced to part with their
money. We are surprised that the
post office authorities do not investi-
gate such transparent schemes as
would entail loss and disappointment
to honest and worthy people who
may be led to part with their money
by delusive promises of illusi0e gain.
This newspaper has beon flooded
with advertisements for agents for
schemes which we think arc not in
reality what they seom, but wo eau
| not publish them.
