USES OF FRUITS.
Often More Useful Than Prescriptions
Of Physicians.

From London Answers.
Many Of our common fruits are just as
useful and much nicer than doctors pre-
scriptions The apple, for instance. Not
only is the apple an excellent purifier OF
the blood. but it is cure for dysentery,
and has also the peculiar effect Of restoring
an Intoxicated person to sobriety. A diet OF
stewed apples. eaten three times day. has
worked wonders in cases of confirmed
drunkenness. giving the patient an sbso-
lutte distaste for alcohol in any FORM
The pineapple is another fruit most VAL
liable in throat affections. Indeed, it has
saved many a life of dphtheric patient.
The juice squeezed from ripe pine is tpe
finest thing in the world for cutting the
funguslike membrane which coats the
throat in diphtheria, and IL used in time
never fails to cure.
After a severe attack Of influenza the
throat is often relaxed and the tonsils pain
full. An old-fashioned remedy still in use
in many parts OF the west of England is a
conserve of roses This. IS sort of jam
made from the hips of the common wild
rose. 1t is not unpleasant in taste and GER
tainly possesses strongly aStringent prop
critics.
To eat a grape minute for an hour at
time, and to repeat this performance three
or four times a day, eating very little else
meantime but dry bread, may seem a
monotonous way of spending the time. This
treatment works wonders for thin, nervous
anemic people whose dgestions have got
out of order from worry or overwork. 1t is
no mere quack prescription. but a form of
cure recognized and advised by many we'll
known physicians. Grapes are, perhaps.
the most digestible of any fruit in exist
ence.
A cordial made from the blackberries is
greatly recommended by the Devonshfre
country folk as a cure for collie. and many
a farmers wife makes blackberry cordial
as regularly as elderberry wine. The lat
ter, heated and mixed with a little CHINA
against a chill. The flowers. too, of the
elder come In useful. An ointment made
by layering them in mutton suet and olive
oil Is most soothing in case of boils. Now
adays doctors forbid equity patients to eat
any kind of sweet foods, but recommend
them to eat at least a dozen walnuts a
day. There is no doubt that walnuts are
most useful to equity subjects, or in cases
of chronic rheumatism. Swelling goes
down and pain decreases.

Excessive Beading.

From the New Bedford Standard.
A Chicago newspaper says that among
the contagious diseases of the age excess
sive and sterile reading must be enumerat-
ed" It takes the matter seriously, even
solemnly. 1.-The world" 1t AYERS, has gone
mad over books. They have taken the
place of every other FETCH" Hardly as
bad as that we think; but there Is a good
deal Of truth in the averment. Because the
fetch worshipper is found among men
whose boast is that they never read a book,
and there are even those who make fe-
itch out Of that popularity. However, 1t
may be doubtful If large share Of the
reading Of the day is OF real benefit to the
reader. Much Of what passes for reading
is not reading; 1t is merely vacuous glanc-
ing along the page. We see people take up
a magazine, for example, magazine filled
with reading Of interest and worth, and
we see them skim. skim. skim; here a stop
at the title Of an article, there a pause at
picture, now and then a slowing up at
page. The magazine is put down with
the remark that 1t Is strange how easily
such bulky pamphlet can be read so
quickly. Books go in something the same
way. Here Is the book skimmers' library,
with its patrons trying to keep up with its
output Of two, three, five, a dozen books
in a week, and calling. the race with the
ing like that is intemperate-the producer
of mental stupefaction at the end. There
are patrons of the free public library and
Of the circulating libraries in this city who
raed with the same excited assiduity that
the victim Of alcoholic habits follows his
morning and noon and evening drams-and
the habit comes to about the same thing In
the end. They pour novel after novel into
what passes for their brains, and get out
of the process the sterilization Of whatever
mind they do have. This Is one phase Of
the reading habit, and q very palpable
phase; fortunately 1t Is not the only one.

EYES OF INSECTS.
Like Mosaic, With an Independent
Short Range Auxiliary. -.

From Science Siftings.
We all understand that our eyes are
somewhat like little Photographic cameras
with sets OF lenses, with stops to cut off
unnecessary light and having arrangements
for focusing and everything else that Is
needed to form the little colored picture on
the sensitive retina at the back of the eye
The eyes of all backboned creatures are,
Indeed. much like cameras that photo
graphs have actually been made through
the eyes of some of the large domestic ami
mails. But any one who has examined in
sects at all must have noticed that their
eyes are very different from our own. For.
In the first place. each eye Is often larger
than all the rest of the head There Is no
Iris. and no pupil. Then too. an insect does
not have to turn his head and look straight
at anything as we do when we wish to see
clearly. One of the first things that We
notice about an insects eyes Is that 1t is
cut up into hundreds of little surfaces or
Now. each OF these facets is at the end OF
little tube with blackened sides, filled with
a clear jelly. and the entire eye is built up
of these little tubes side by side.
An insects eye is not a camera eye"
like our own. but what is called a mosaic
eye" after the pictures which are made by
putting together little bits of colored glass
and stone. We can get an idea of how this
sort of eye acts If we look through small
roll OF paper. When we do this we. of
course. see only the spot at which We point
the tube! Now. the Insects eye is like a
large number of such tubes put together
into a ball The insect looks out through
all the tubes at once and sees the spot at
the end of each. Thus the animal with his
two eyes looks In all directions at the same
time, and sees as many spots of color
there are tubes in both eyes-several thou
sand. perhaps. all combined into a single
picture like the pattern cf carpet We
may get some idea of an insects power %
sight II. while looking straight at some OBJ
ject, We notice what there is at the sides
as far around as one can see. We can then
see shapes only dimly, but we can col
ors perfectly well, and can even detect
anything moving almost behind our heads.
An insect seems to every object We
see one thing when We look at another 1t
sees shapes vaguely. but shades color
perfectly well. and knows at once il any
thing near 1t moves.
The compound eye appears to be good
only for seeing things at a distance, and is
not practically of much use at short range
go nearly all insects have one. two or three
little eyes which, so far as can be made
out are TO help them things near at
hand These ocelli they called. are
somewhat like our eyes, but much simpler
and they appear as minute dots on the front
OF the head between the compound eyes
How much an insect sees with these ocell
no one really knows. But if We watch one
and notice how much he seems to depend
on the sense of touch in his antennae. it
VIII APPEAR as though he acts more like
partially blind man feeling the ground with
his stick than like being who sees clearly
as We do
