Fruit Seed. and Appendicitis.

Many very intelligent people are de-
tered from swallowing the seed of ber-
ries, grapes and other fruits lest the
Judgment of these small bits of indiges-
tibleness may induce that dreaded acct
dent appendicitis. This fear Is utterly
baseless, since the healthy appendix is
protected by a valvular arrangement
which prevents even the smallest seeds
from entering it. 1t Is only after in
flammation has already destroyed Its
normal protection that any foreign SUBJ
stance can gain access to it. To feel
compelled to eschew all seedy berries
and fruits Is to seriously curtail ones
dietary, and 1t is entirely unnecessary.
In fact, the free and constant use of
ripe berries and fruits of all kinds is
one of the best ~preventives of this dan
gerous disease. Fruit eating prevents
or helps to overcome constipation, and
constipation is the most prolific cause
of appendicitis. The physician should
thoroughly disabuse his patients of this
mistaken notion. All the smooth seeds
are harmless.-Hygienic Gazette.

Helen had been only a few days in
the house where Walter was the e.
year-old son and heir when it was per-
fectly clear that she had made a deep
impression on his already susceptible
heart. One afternoon he brought a
footstool and. placing it in front Of
her, asked her if she would marry him.
Helen was a little more than four
times as old as Walter, and her un-
married state was a matter Of keen in
terest to her friends. she looked at the
boy graveIy for a moment and then
said:
"Why, l can't answer that question
offhand, Walter. You will have to wait
and give me time to think it over"
Suddenly the boy dropped his head
on her knee and began to cry bitterly.
What is the matter, Walter?" she
asked, patting his head.
Il was just thinking he sobbed out,
that you'd be dead and gone before l
was old enough to marry you."-New

EAT DAILY.
Then You VIII De In No Danger Of
SmalIpOx.

Lettuce is an absolute preventive OF
smallpox. No one is in the least par
ticle of danger of catching smallpox
who eats a little lettuce every day.
Smallpox belongs to the s%cor5utic
class of diseases. Sailors at sea. de-
prived of fresh vegetables, get seurvy.
scurvy is a typical scorbutic disease.
Smallpox is another. Smallpox always
RACES during the winter season, when
the poor people are deprived of fresh
vegetable foods.
Celery and onions are god for this
purpose. but there is such a long inter
val between their being gathered and
being eaten that they lose most Of
their antiscorbutic properties. Lettuce
is served shortly after it is picked.
and hence contains the valuable prep
critics which will prevent smallpox.
We say without the least hesitation
or reserve that lettuce will prevent
smallpox. It is a thousand times bet
ter than vaccination. 1t has no liabil-
tiles, like vaccination, to produce other
diseases. we are willing to stake our
professional reputation on the broad
statement that any one who eats l. =
tuca daily win not catch smallpox,
whether h be vaccinated or not

Rossetti and whistler.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti once showed
Whistler a sketch for a painting and
asked him how he liked it. at HIS
good points said Whistler. Go
ahead with it by all means"
A few weeks later he asked how the
work was progressing. "All right"
answered Rossetti cheerfully. "Tve
ordered a stunning frame for it,"
Happening in at Rossetti's in Cheyne
Walk. Whistler asked to see the cam
vas, which was brought out beauti-
fully framed.
you've done nothing TO 1t since
saw it. have you?" said Whistler.
"No,' replied Rossetti, but I've writ
ten a sonnet on the subject If you
would like to hear it,"
The former of course assented. and
the poet-painter thereupon recited some
lines of peculiar tenderness and mel
ody. They were barely ended when
Whistler broke In with:
"RoSsetti, put the sonnet in the
frame"
