Fruit for summer Thirst.
From the Lancet.

Chemical analysis would assign prac-
tically no nutritive value to the juicy
fruits, for they consist Of little more
than a celluIose envelope containing a
solution of sugar, the amount varying
from II per cent, as with grapes, to
about IA per cent, as with lemons.
The amount of water in fruit is con-
siderable. In watermelons it is no less
than 50 per cent, in grapes so per
cent, in oranges So per cent, in lem
ons 80 per cent, in peaches IS per
cent, in apples 50 per cent, In pears
81 per cent, in plums so per cent, In
nectarines SO per cent, and in straw
berries 80 per cent, not a fruit in the
whole category containing less than 80
per cent The irresistible conclusion,
considering these facts, is that fruit
plays an important role in diet as a
thirst uuencher. Certainly when fruits
are freely represented in the diet less
fluid requires to be consumed, and
fruits would appear to be endowed
with a subtle, inimitable flavor which
is ample inducement to imbibe fluid
in this most wholesome form.
The question so prominent in peo-
pies thoughts at this hot season of the
year as to what to drink might, there
fore, on sound physiological reasoning,
be answered. eat sound, ripe, juicy
fruit 1t is noticeable that as fruit
enters into the diet the indulgence in
alcoholic drinks is diminished. Thus II
IS most satisfactory to observe people
taking a good juicy slice of melon as
preparatory to a meal instead OF sher-
~ and bitters or a cocktail" This Is
a most commendable practice and the
proceeding is, dietetically speaking,
perfectly rational
The fiavorings of fruits, although of
little nutritive value. are undoubted
stimulants to the appetite and aids to
digestion. Moreover, the juice of fresh
cut fruit is perfectly free from mil
crobes. II as sterile as freshly. clean
drawn milk, and the fruit acids tend to
inhihit shc power of those disease pro-
ducing bacteria which flourish in neu-
trail or alkaline media. The marked
anti-scorbutic properties of fresh fruit
due to the vegetable acids and their
salts in the juice are of great impor-
lance. For the most part these acids
are combined with potash and hence a
free diet of fruit preserves a healthy
alkaline condition of the blood, and
there is consequently a reduced ten
dency TO the depositing of acids in the
TISSUES.
Peaches and that delicious and deli
cately favored fruit, the nectarine,
contain quite a small quantity of SUI
gar and this. coupled with the fact
OF the tenderness of their pulp, makes
them suitable for the equity and dia-
beti, There can be no doubt that the
juice of sound ripe fruit Is an ideal
means Of assuaging the intense thirst

MRS. BARKER BROKE SAD VIEWS.
Told Mrs. Mckinley OF the Death of
the President.

the President.
Milburn House. Buffalo, Sept. 14.--It
is definitely learned to-day that it was
Mrs. Barber, Mrs. McKinley's sister,
who broke the news of her great loss
to the stricken wife. She went from
the bedside of the dead President to
the wife whose condition was such that
it seemed best to remove her from
the sick room before the end.
Mrs. Mckinley is occupying a large
south room in the Milburn house over
looking Delaware avenue and Ferry
streets. Through the drawn shades the
early morning light was breaking when
Mrs. Barber told her that the sleep
into (which the President had passed
would know no awakening. Mrs. Nc
Xinley, whose extreme delicacy was
for years the Presidents one great
sorrow, received the news with unex-
pected calmness and at once acquiesced
in the request of her physician and
family 10 leave the details of the sad
ceremonies in which the entire nation
is to join entirely in the hands of the
official and personal friends who are
assembled.
All day long she remained quietly in
her room, stricken to the soul, hut
bravely bearing her sad burden, be-
cause she knows 1.-THE Major" as she
lovingly calls the dead President,
would bid her to do so.

Given Mrs. Mckinley,
Dantzic, Sept. 14.-Emperor William
sent the following dispatch to-day:
ITO Mrs. Mckinley, Buffalo. Her
Majesty, the Empress, and myself. beg
you to accept the expression of our
most sincere sorrow in the Joss which
you have suffered by the death of your
beloved husband, felled by the ruthless
hand of a murderer.
May the Lord, who granted you so
many years of happiness at the side of
the deceased, grant you strength to
bear the heavy blow which He has
visited upon you. William, /. r."
Emperor William also sent the fol-
lowing dispatch to Secretary Hay:
II am deeply affected by the news
of the untimely death of President Nc
Kinley. l hasten to express the deep
est and most heartfelt sympathy of
the German people to the great Amer
lean nation. Germany mourns with
America for her noble son, who lost
his life whilst he was fulfilling his

of hot weather-cooling, refreshing and
of an agreeable flavor.
1t is common experience that the
more a person drinks to satisfy the de-
mands of thirst in hot weather the
worse he feels. The temptation is to
gulp down huge quantities of fluid.
with the result that excessive perspir-
alton sets in and a very uncomforta-
BILE and unrelieved feeling follows. On
the other hand, judicious amount of
sound, ripe, juicy fruit, while contain
ing all the water necessary to assuage
thirst. would lead to no such distress
and would exercise other healthy ef-
fects on the bodily functions.

WHY DIAMONDS ARE DEAR.
All Could Have Them if Price Were
Not ArtifciaIIy Maintained.

Not ArtifciaIly Maintained.
From the London Express.
Diamond dealers say that If it were
not for the operation of the great De
Beers monopoly the precious stone,
loved of all women and most men,
might be cheap and vulgar.
For years the price of diamonds has
been rising steadily. The war has had
little or nothing to do with it. IRE
spectve of raids and sieges, without
count of income tax and cost of labor
in the mines, the price has gone up.
until it is now 100 per cent. higher
than ii was twelve years ago, when
the great diamond trust was first form
ed. In the early days of the trust the
members were Messrs. Porjes, Barnato,
Mosenthal and Dunkelsbuhler, all of
which firms had their representatives
on the board of the De Beers Company.
To-day the trust is in the hands of
FIVE well-known firms: Messrs. Wcrn-
Dreyfus & Co., Messrs. Joseph Broth
ers, Messrs. l.. & A. Abrahams and
Mr.. Dunkelsbuhler.
These five firms are the customers OF
the De Beers Company, taking from
the mine-owners diamonds in the rough
to the value and extent, it is said, of
44,000.000 every year.
Is that the limit of production of the
diamond mine? People who know
Kimberley say 1t is far short of the
possible output. If the De Beers Com
pany chose, it is believed they could
easily multiply next years production
tenfold The stones are there in those
wonderful holes at Kimberley, and a
little extra labor would bring them out
in such marvellous quantities that
every butchers wife in Smithfield mar
ket might go to the play in the neck
let and tiara of Duchess.
Very naturally the chief owners of
the mines and the sellers of diamonds.
who are practically one and the same.
have no intention of allowing the mar
ket to be glutted with cheap stones.
Having the chief centers of diamond
production in their hands, they can
control the output and are doing so
with mathematical nicely.
But" asks my lady, aghast at the
price she must pay for new suite
of diamonds for the coronation, why
are they not content with the monop-
oily? Why, has the price been raised
year by year?"
Because" said a dealer to whom an
Express representative put the ques-
ton, 1.-The trust must make provision
against rainy day. At present 1t has
all the known diamonds fields in it's
hands. 1t cannot, however, provide
against new discoveries and the ter
rible catastrophe Of cheap diamonds
unless Il builds up a reserve fund big
enough to buy out every competitor.
That is why, though the price OF dia-
monds rises, the value OF DE Beers
shares remains practically stationary"

HOW TO PUNISH CZOLGosz.
District Attorney Wants N SpecfnI
Term of Supreme Court.

Buffalo, Sept. 14.-Gov. odell Of New
York had a long conference to-day
with District Attorney Penney rela-
tive to the most expeditions method
of trying and convicting the murderer.
Mr. Penney told the Governor that
the case was already prepared for the
grand jury and would be presented to
that body on Monday or Tuesday of
next week.
The grand jury would make a pre-
sentiment to County Attorney Emery,
who will assign counsel for the de-
tense. The main question of discussion
between the Governor and District At
torney Penny was as to whether or not
the Governor should appoint an extra
ordinary term of the Supreme Court to
try the prisoner, instead of allowing
the case to go before that department.
Pennys idea was that the Governor
should appoint an extraordinary term
and select a special judge. A list OF
the judges was presented to the gov
eminent and up to quite late hour
he had not yet decided as to which
course he would pursue.
