FAITH IN BLEEDING" PICTURE.-A
special from Marinette, Wis. Gays: "At
the request OF the Revs. Clesry and
Pspon, Of Menominee, Mich, Catholic
pastors of the Irish and Polish Catholic
Churches, respectively, physicians
made microscopic examination last
week Of the spots on the "bleedipg
picture. The doctors were unable 10
decide by the microscope whether or
not 1t was blood. They say that Q
chemical analysis will be necessary.
Both Of the priests are inclined to think
that the manifestation ia a miracu-
lous one. The candles are still kept
burning about the picture, and many
people were praying before 1t. The
fact that two of the priests believed
that 1t may prove to be q miracle Is
causing many to take the matter more
seriously"

FRUIT FOR HEALTH.
Its Curative Value Insisted on by
Students of Dietetics.
From the Syracuse Clinic.

From the syracuse Clinlc
The curative value of fruit is becoming
more and more insisted upon by those who
make a study Of dietetics. Grapes are rec
commended for the dyspeptic, the consump-
tive, the anaemic, and for those with
tendency to gout and liver troubles. Plums
also are said to be cure for equity and
rheumatic tendencies. The acid fruits, es-
pecially lemons and oranges. are partic-
ularly good for stomach troubles and rheu-
matism.
1t is not sufficient, say the advocates of
the fruit cure, to eat small quantity at
breakfast or dinner. One should eat from
two to eight pounds of grapes a day, or,
If. oranges are the curative agency, the
number to be eaten day may vary from
three to six.
A healthy condition of the body depends
upon perfect balance of foods taken.
There are many other factors entering into
the question, but this feature must not be
forgotten. Few people there are who can
keep healthy without fruit.
How absurd, some one says, to be told
to eat fruit when everybody eats It. Yes.
but how do you eat it? Do you take a
definite amount of it, the same as you do
of meat and potatoes, or do you eat it as
you do candy?

"It certainly does, and we are mighty
glad of it, Ask any doctor who has prac-

majority of grown-up folks have blood too
thick.
THE minerals and natural acids of the

TIMES LONG GONE.
And They Were Not Near as Good as
"These Degenerate Years."

From the Chicago Tribune.
1t is frequent habit of the moralists as
well as of sociological students, to sigh for
the good old times and to compare the
morals and manners of the present day
with those of the days of our grandfathers
and grandmothers. The smartness, and
fastness, and boldness of modern society
more than once have furnished themes for
poets and essayists as well as for the pull
pit, and have been placed in contrast with
the modesty and dignity and propriety of
those old days-so often, in fact, that We
have come to regard our forbears as pat
terms of exemplary conduct.
1t is refreshing. however, now and then
t. find testimony that some of the grand
mothers were no better than some of their
descendants. Testimony Of this sort is con-
tained in letter which was sold in an au-
tograph sale in New York the other day.
1t was written at London in 1775 by Sophia
Montagu, wife of the English admiral who
commanded on the North American station.
Lady Montagu had been to a supper, and
with feminine frankness and enthusiasm
describes it to a friend.
1t was the best supper she ever "supt at"
Every one was drunk, ION my conscience"
but she did not consider that any matter,
for We were good company" Then Lady
Sophia gives description of London ladies
in general. They turn day into night and
night into day. and are "as mad March
hares. She thinks their dress is prepos-
teIous. They paint and pinch their bodies
in tight stays till they sink. for to be very
small at bottom and hanging over at top is
other fashion," and feathers fifteen inches
long in the head is another. Lady Sophia's
letter closes with this sweeping Indictment
of social life: "Inconstancy, the fashion;
separation. the fashion; to be with anybody
but your husband, at the top of the fash
ion"

Bridal TrOusseau of a Fiji Girl.

From the WOmans Home Companion.
To the all-important question of bridal
trousseau the Fiji belle of three decades
ago gave little thought. A fringe Of hibis-
Gus fiber about the loins, supplemented by
garland2 Of bright-hued flowers about the
head, neck and arms, fulfilled all the re-
quirements Of Polynesian fashion. Then
came day when this primitive simplicity
was succeeded on festal occasions by an
oppressive weight Of magnificence. Bride
and groom alike were literally swathed
from head to foot. The material used was
the tapa" or native cloth made from the
inner bark of the paper-mulberry tree AS
in those days, certain colors and decorative
designs were reserved for the aristocracy
an educated onlooker could by single
glance determine the social status OF the
matrimonial candidates. The tapa, besides
being rolled about the body in so many
folds that the victim was simply a walking
bale of stuff, was also SO arranged that a
huge panier was formed of the various
loops and folds at the back. To all this
was added a train frequently eight or ten
yards long, carried by attendants. To
these two extremes has succeeded the ..su-
lu'' costume Of today.

Rapidly MonopOlizing.
From Golfers Weekly.

AhoHi NechAy.
Washington brings together not only the
brightest intellects of our own country, but
it is fast becoming one of the most cosmo-
politan cities In the world. In the diplo-
matte corps thirty-five nations have repre-
sentatfon. Each of these thirty-five nations
has established an embassy or legation. in-
cluding from one to three homes. These
embassies and legations are bits of foreign
property right on her own soil, where the
customs and usages of the lands they come
from are maintained and respected. 1t is
large representation of the best brain and
talent of the rest of the nations of the
globe, and it adds an educational feature to
our capital not to be lightly considered.
Socially, the national capital is incompar-
able. Merit and culture and refinement are
the true aristocracy. Every person of note
from the continent, if he visit the United
States at all, is sure to come here, just as
an irresistible law of gravitation draws the
Americans themselves to 1t. But aside from
its distinguished visitors. the city is rapidly
becoming the abiding place for the winter
season of people of wealth and refinement.
Many beautiful homes have been put up
during the past year, and many more
are now under construction. These are the
property of well-known people who are
making a winter residence of the capitals
of the world. 1t is the only capital which
is not a large manufacturing or CONNER
cial city, hence its atmosphere is clear and
it's streets and avenues are in most excel
lent condition.
The clubs of Washington are another Of
it's attractive features both educationally
and socially. The Cosmos stands at the
head of the scientific clubs Of the country,
and numbers among its large membership
many of the leading scientists of the United
States. The Army and Navy, the Metropol-
itan, the Alibi, the Chevy Chase and the
Country Clubs are social organizations and
are finely housed and equipped as those
of any other city. They all add to the
gayety of society during the season. with
their germans and assembly and other balls,
The Alibi's Thanksgiving reception ranks

game is played at all of the meets until

Suicide In England.
From the London MaklS -


During the last ahftys years the suicidal
tendency in England has grown into a for
midable disease, :, The, growth. too. has
been continuous. Suicide has steadily in
creased 200 per cent sUnhappily. too. the
growth has been most rapid in recent years.
This is learned from. the verdicts of coro-
ners' juries-a test which does not exagger-
ate, but allows a PERCENTAGE OF wasteage.
And especially is this increase remarkable
when the attempts to commit suicide-so
far as they are known to the police-are
examined. For while in the decade from
1876 to 1886 the attempts rose from S18 to
.ll6-an increase of 80 per cent-between
1883 and 1885 the percentage increased as
much as 90 per cent. During the last
twenty-five years they have increased In
all 152 per cent. By examining the latest
statistics. have discovered the most sui
cfdal localities IN England. And curiously,
perhaps, the highest percentagesL.e., per
100000 OF population-are reached by pro-
vincial towns. AS the sites of actual sui
cides, Norwich. Blackburn, Newcastle, Old
ham and Leeds, in the order named, achieve
DISMAL pre-eninence. For attempted sui
eide, Liverpool, London. Birmingham. Man.
chester and Newcastle head the list OF
the thirty-one largest towns In the country,
swansea and. next to it, Derby and Birken-
mead showed the least tendency to suicide.
