BISHOP CBsoN.-By the death of
Bishop Whittle Right Rev. Robert A.
Gibson, for four or five years bishop
ooadjutor of Virginia, becomes the head
OF the episcopate and will preside over
the diocese filling full episcopal Office,
He succeeds to the position made vacant
by the death of Bishop Whittle, ind will
henceforth be at the head OF affairs in
name as we'll as in fact, as had been the
case for some time before the decease of
the late bishop. There will be no change
in the conduct OF the diocese. For the
past six months or so Bishop Gibson has
been transacting all matters pertain
ing to the church and has, in fact,
been doing the duties of the posi-
ton which his aged superior held,
but which, on account of Ill health, he
was unable to fill. 1t is not likely that
Bishop Gibson, will be given an as
sistant as yet. He is in the prime Of
life and capable of doing vast amount
of work.

Sunlight AN Old Remedy,

Professor Finsen, of Copenhagen,
has received much praise for the cures
which he has effected by means OF
sunlight; but now II. NJ. Close, an
English scientist. points out that this
method of curing diseases was known
and practlced in England centuries
ago.
I'm 1S93," he says. Professor Finsen
proposed that patients suffering from
smallpox should be kept in rooms from
which the chemical rays of light had
been excluded by means of red curtains
or red glass. In this treatment. how
ever, he was anticipated by John
Gaddesden, who wrote the famous
medical treatise. Rosa Medicinac,' and
who died in 1861. He cured son of
King Edward I. by wrapping him in a
red cloth, and placing him in bed
and room with scarlet hangings. He
says of the result: Est bona cura; ct
curavi cum in sequenti sine vestigio
variolarum. which means that the
treatment was effective. for the pa
tient recovered, and never showed any
trace OF smallpox.
There Is also evidence that other
physicians besides Gaddesden believed
in the virtues of phoIotherapy and
adopted it when they desired to cure
certain forms OF skin diseases, s,-New

Brunswick, although the land is owned
by residents of Maine. The contem.
plated extension of the Bangor q
Aroostook railroad from Ashland to
Fort Kent will bring this timber to
the Maine pulp and sawmills, where
it rightfully belongs.
In the opinion of Mr. Ring, the
amount of spruce now standing in
Maine has been greatly underestimate
ed. Good judges say that there is
now standing in the state not less than
27OOO,000,O00 feet of spruce, and they
say that this, with the increase by
growth, is sufficient to keep all the
sawmills and pulp mills fully supplied
for an indefinite period.
The total log cut in Maine is about
6OO,OOO,OOO feet annually, and half of
this is used by the pulp mills. Some
regard the coming of the pulp mills
as a calamity, but a prominent pulp
manufacturer points out that the pulp
mill is n blessing rather than a curse.

ten times as much money is expended
as in making the tree into lumber.

BOTH FOOD AND MEDICINE.
The Fruit Cure for Some OF the Ills of
the Human Body.

The Fruit Cure for Some OF the Ills of
the Human Body.
The curative value of fruit is be-
coming more and more insisted upon
by those who make a study of die
tetics. Grapes are recommended for
the dyspeptic. the consumptive, the
anaemic, and for those with tendency
to gout and liver troubles. Plums,
also, are said to be cure for gouty
and rheumatic tendencies. The acid
fruits, especially lemons and oranges,
are particularly good for stomach
troubles and rheumatism.
II is not sufficient, say the advocates
of the fruit cure, to eat a small guam
tity at breakfast or dinner. One should
eat from two to eight pounds of grapes
a day, or, IL oranges are the curative
agency, the number TO be eaten in a
day may vary from three to six.
A healthy condition of the body de-
pends upon a 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 definite amount of it, the
same as you do of meat and potatoes,
or do you eat it as you do candy?
If you suffer from an acute attack
OF indigestion after a dinner of soup,
meats. pickles, sauces, salad, cakes,
pastries. with spices and condiments
enough to blister the skin, to say
nothing of the delicate lining of the
stomach, pray do not aver that indi-
gestion arises from the morsel of fru.s
taken at the end.
Be honest with your stomach for a
month. Eat no more than you need of
simple food, into which the true lux
uries of nature. such as apples, or
anges. pears or other fruit, shall enter.
Try, If only as an interesting expert
ment, to eat sparingly of the cruder
articles of diet, and more of those
suited to your real needs, and see to
it that fruit forms part of each
meal.
" But there are so many kinds of
fruit that | cannot eat"
There II is again. Because you cam
not eat seventeen kinds of food at one
meal ending with fruit 1t, of course,
was the apple or the Strawberries that
did the harm"
But doesn't fruit make the blood
thin?"
1T certainly does, and we are mighty
glad of it, Ask any doctor who has
practised medicine for ten years with
his eyes open. and he will tell you that
the great majority OF grown-up folks
have blood too thick.
The minerals and natural acids OF
the fruit are the very best conceivable
remedies for this thickened condition
of the blood. Fruit then becomes both
a fruit and medicine-a necessity
and most delightful luXury.-Syra-
cuse Clinic.

That a man can sustain serious
