The question is often asked. At what
time of day should fruit be eaten? In
tropical countries, where fruit is the
chief article of fGod. the rule appears
to be that the earlier iii the day it is
taken the better and the later the
worse. In hot weather many wise
people will eat none after noon, alleg-
ing that the digestion then declines in
power with the decline of the day and
the fruit. instead of digesting. decom-
poses owing to the presence of the sac
charine matter. The objection to fruit
and certain kinds of vegetables late in
the day, be the explanation what it
may, is certainly justified by an ample
experience. though some persons can
eat fruit at all hours without feeling
any inconyenience.-Table Talks.

ELECTRIFIED HOUSES,
The Simple Explanation of a Very
Ordinary Phenomenon.

Ordinary Phenomenon.
An instance of nonfamiliarity with
simple scientific facts is illustrated by
an article that goes the rounds of the
press once or twice annually-namely
the story Of the electrified house. The
article usually states that some one
has discovered that everything he
touches in his house = the radiators,
picture frames, banquet lamps, ETC.
gives him an electric shock; hence he
fears there is some connection between
the arc light wires and the water pipes
near his residence. The electric light
inspector is therefore summoned and
reports that the wires of his company
are intact and that the electricity must
come from some other source.
1t does not dawn on any of the peo-
pie consulted that the discoverer of
the phenomenon is unconsciously per-
forming one of the simplest and Oldest
of electrostatic experiments, the shut
fling of his shoes over the dry carpet
raising the potential of his body to
several thousand volts. which discharge
at every opportunity. One may even
get electric discharges from his knuc-
kles against the brass lock of q hand
bag which ne may be carrying While
walking Oh Il stone pavement during
cold, dry weather.
But, Diminishing newspaper science,
it is somewhat astonishing. in view OF
the many WAYS in which in cold, dry
countries electricity is unintentionally
developed and manifested by spark
ing, that the first knowledge concern.
ing this phenomenon did not come tc
the ancients in this way rather than
by the attraction Of light substances
by amber. The explanation OF this
however, may be that the scientists OF
bygone days did not reside in cold, dry
countries.-Casser's MngAzine

CUTTING HIMSELF OFF.
The Blunt Way In Which Chaplain
Cannon Refused a Fortune.

The Blunt Way In Which Chaplain
Cannon Refused n Fortune.
The Rev. Edward Cannon, a chap
lain to King George w., was a dog
gedly Independent man. On one occa-
sion he refused to compliment his roy
al master on his singing and for a
time fell into disfavor. His manner
was high handed and not always too
courteous, but his actions were always
on the side of right and justice. The
biography of his friend Barham. the
author Of the "Ingoldsby Legends"
contains, among other anecdotes of
Cannon, the story of how he disinher-
tied himself.
A silly old lady summoned him to
her house and pretended to be declin-
ing in health. She told him she had
made her will, by which the whole of
considerable fortune was to be left
to him.
II don't believe it," said Cannon aft.
er a pause, in which he eyed her
doubtfully. The lady assured him that
the document was lying in a desk in
Tie IOOIll.
81 won't believe it," persisted Can
non, unless see it,"
Smiling at his incredulity. she placed
the will in his hands. Cannon read it.
"Well," he said deliberately, "if
had not seen it in your own hands,
could not have believed you We're such
an unnatural brute
Thrusting the paper between the bars
of the crate, he continued in a severe
low voice: "Have you no one more
nearly connected with you than Inc
one to whom your money should go
who has a right to be provided fol
first and best? Pooh! You don't
know how to make will. I'll send
for lawyer, and he shall make your
will. You shall leave me a legacy
There's no harm in that, but I'm not
going to take it all to please you
Good day, maam!'

Akron, O., Aug. 90. - A law suit
ended in a most dramatic but happy
manner in Justice Werntz's court In

posed that she come TO Barberton to
stay, until he had money enough to
be married and he would pay her
board. Mary came. Michael tired OF
paying her board, however, and she,
at the instigation Of the boarding
house keeper, sued him for the amount
due, s10.50.
The case came to trial, but the
plaintiff and the defendant were more
occupied with one another than the
proceedings.
"Do you want to marry that girl
or do you want this case to 20 on?''
thundered Attorney e. F. Baker
Michaels counsel. at, last. as the eli
ent paid no attention to the testi-
mony but whispered to the plaintiff.
II guess I do" said Michael.
"The case is dismissed then" said
the court. and this evening Mary Kro.
mich will become Mrs. Zurawski.
