mcr Fruits.

Have you ever sought this luscious
fruit where it grows wild and abundant
along the borders of the wood and fields,
and where the cool evening dews fall
soonest and still lie heavy and glisten-
ing on bramble and berry long after
King Sol has appeared in all his torrid
splen0or? If so then you know why the
meadow lark sings with such melodious
sweetness, why the robin chirrups with
such rollicking glee. and myriads Of
creatures of the wildwood are so happy
when midsummer spreads such nectared
sweetness where they can eat, drink and
be as merry as the day is long, says the
Washington Star.
The common wildwood or roadside
berry is always sweet whether large or
small, according to the quality of the
soil The bramble growing ON the sun
ny hillside produces a small, hard and
acid berry, not so good to eat uncooked,
especially if there is excessive aeidity
of the stomach.
While the blackberry is named as one
of the most wholesome OF our fresh
fruits and because OF its astringeAt
quality regarded as OF particular medi-
cinal value in hot weather, do not take
1t for granted that its use is absolutely
beneficial under all conditions The
sensation commonly known as heart
burn" is q sure indication that there is
irritation in some part of the stomach.
and may be caused and increased by eat
ing all acid juicy berries.
Although undoubtedly there is less
danger of hurtful effects from eating
ripe fresh blackberries than other ber-
ries, they seeming to have curative and
neutraliZing properties long and well
known. Blackberries and like fruit are
generally eaten at meal time with solid
matter as well as with foods which also
contain acids. If you wish them served
in the morning eat them at least an hour
before breakfast-not with the meal
if this is not possible, take them between
meals as they arebest eaten on an empty
stomach.
The juice of blackberries makes a
wholesome and very delicious summer
beverage, the sweet acid flavor being
very grateful to the taste and satisfy
ing the Unsuitable desire for drink quick
er than water and also doing away with
| craving for stimulants, which water
will not do. In fact, ice water rather
increases the longing. if there is any
| inclination in that direction.
The skill of the fruit grower has given
| thornless blackberry-an advantage
| the fruit picker will appreciate The
| purpose for which nature designed the
| rough troublesome briar was no doubt
| one Of defense and for the protection of
some of her weaker creatures against
| greater foes. In the state of cultivation
| the protective thorn is superf1uous and
| it was happy thought which prompted
| the plant breeder to segregate this
troublesome feature from so profitable q
| plant.

garia, Servia and Montenegro; con-
siderable territory. The mass of the
population to the south is Greek in its
sympathies, while to the north the peo-
pie are "Slav in language, manners, Gus

the ruling Turks and the Greeks form

When one calls to mind that the Mo-
.hammedan brigand, cruel rather than
picturesque outlaw, preys upon travel

disturbing elements plenty In this
land. SquabbleS in regard to religion
and schools have been numerous among
these different folk, but do not consti-
:tute the whole of the Macedonian prob
lem, as is believed by not few. The Bull
.garian church separated from the Greek
church in 1870. and since that time the
question of religion has divided Greek
and. Bulgarian. Add to this religious
incompatibility the fanaticism of the
Mussulman and one gets further idea
of the state of affairs in unquiet Mace

The Bulgarians have been great mix

instigators of it all. Their ideas, and
the methods employed and directed by
them to attain the freedom of Mace

the plan, as again understood by the

Gently arrived 70 take part in ths
matches, has perhaps displayed the
best tennis shown yet in the east, and
that only when forced out of his easy
going stride to prevent the loss OF q
set Doherty goes at the game much
like man playing for the pure animal
enjoyment OF it, leisurely making his
strokes and at peace with himself and
the world. Once aroused, though, his
speed and steadiness are something re-
markable and are some indication OF
the style Of game the Americans are up
against His cross-court drives and
smashes, beautifully and fiercely
placed. are decidedly depressing to his
opponents. If in the international
matches he has the ability to so vary
his style from the easy strength-sav-
ing game to the fierce. fast play there
is no doubt he could win the series,
strength conditions being equal.
In the tournaments so far played on
the Metropolitan tennis courts this
season little attention has been given
the new service rule, more Familiarity
known as the foot-fault rule which was
made by the United States National
Lawn Tennis association. Where the
average American player is at variance
with those who advocated the change
is in that part of the rule which says:
1T is not a fault If one only of the
servers feet does not touch the ground
at the moment at which the service Ia
delivered. He shall place both feet on
the ground Immediately before serving,
and not take q running or walking
start" This will make it dificult
matter for those players who. were
so fast at getting to the net behind
! their service to attain that position OF
vantage. 1t has been the force of thess
aggressive tactics that has beaten the
EngliShmen from the old days OF

to Give It Up.

When the train pulled into the way
station the young woman was standing
IN the station platform surrounded by
several other young women, who were
all talking at once. The young man
stood a short distance away. holding a
Dig valise, writes Elliott Flower, in
Brooklyn Eagle.
Hop on there, Maria,'' he called out.
Don't be all day about it,
Every girl in the crowd, with the ex-
.eption of the one addressed, exclaimed:
Obi" and looked as though something
ireadful had happened. She retorted:
Hop on yourself if you want to. I'm
coming"
The other girls said: "Oh!" again,

Then he called out again:

she returned.
Then she hastily kissed the girls good
oy and boarded the train, while they re-
tired to corner OF the station and held
| a whispered conference over something
that seemed to trouble them.
Flop down therei" he said as they
came to a double seat. "You don't mind
riding backward and it bothers me-"
She sat down and he put the big valise
on the seat beside her and then settled

while the old lady two seats behind ex-
claimed: "Wen, / never!" and some

For Is minutes after the train started

THE PARROT TRADE.
Reach New York Annually
The Best Takers

Most Of the 4,O00or 5000 parrots that
are brought to this city every year
says the New York Commercial, are
Of the sorts known as the double,
yellow-head" and the "red-head" The
former are the best takers and as
young birds sell for $15 or 500. while
the red-heads fetch the same price as
the Cuban parrots.
The finest talkers-according to Q
dealer who talked to q Commercial
reporter the other day-are the gray
African parrots, but, although they are
in good demand. it is said that only
100 are sold to-day for every 500 th,t
were disposed of in this country years
ago. The demand fell OF at one time
because people had become afraid tc
buy them, they were so likely to die On
the purchasers hands. When the de-
mand increased again the supply had
become inadequate. AS a matter OF
fact, it is said, the popular idea that
these parrots are delicate is mistake
as they are even harder than the Mex.
lean birds, but they are usually moi
well cared for by sailors on the voy-
age from Africa, on which they are
liable to contract blood poisoning
from improper food. Only about 1,oOe
of them are imported here In a year
and the average price for a young
bird is SIS. In regard to their lin
guistic abilities the importer spoke OF
an African bird that is his own per-
sonal pet, which, he said, talked flu
emily English, French, high German
and low German, besides little Rus,
sian. For a fine talker prices run VI
as high as 81 900, a price which is paid
perhaps once a year" The payment
of $500 for a highly-trained and &C
complished talker is said not to be
uncommon

Off a mile at Pittsburg in l.: 0S, creating
a new mark, while Leander came into
prominence recently by breaking all
worlds records from one to Is miles.
Middle distance pace-following now
adays is a much more dangerous pro-
position thanit used to be in the days OF
the triples and Iuads propelled by Leg
power. Since the introduction Of me-
chanical pace there have been several
fatalities and now every precaution is
taken to guard against such accidents
as resulted in the deaths of Johnny
Nelson, Harry EIkes and others. The
pacemaker, too, comes in for a great
deal of consideration and the man over
the motor now presents a strange sight
to eyes accustomed to the scanty at
tire of the old days. In the first place
the pacemaker is provided with solid
leather cap, such as is used by foot
ball players This fits snugly on his
head and also protects his ears. so IN
case of fall he has a chance to escape
fracture of the skull. He is dressed
as warmly as If going on an arctic ex-
pedition-a leather suit and rubber
overshoes being designed to protect
him. The clothes are all heavily pad
ded and this saves him some when an
accident results in q fall. The pace
follower has to take more chances He.
cannot handicap himself with heavy
clothing and a headgear and has TO
take his chance in a mix-up. About
the only safeguard he has is an iron
attachment on the rear of the pacing
machine which prevents him from
touching wheels with the motor. This
in itself, however, saves many falls.
