USE OF APPLES.
Financial and Dietetic Value Of a
Growing American Crop.

From the Independent
One medical writer says:
The more mellow apples one eats the
better. provided they be taken at meal
time 1t is best OF all to eat fruit before
meals, and freely as you like"
This will prevent loading the system
with a heavy weight of less digestible
foods. Senator Vest says that II a man
wishes to live long and be able to keep up
his work he must eat not less than one
apple with every noon lurfch; we are not
sure but he said half a dozen The no.
breakfast fad tells US that we must NOT
only go without the morning meal but
that we must live much more largely
upon fruit. Some of its disciples insist
tnat the apple may be taken in the place
OF the ordinary breakfast. John Wesley
once referred to apple dumplings as an
illustration of the alarming advance of
Injuries in England. Charles Lamb quotes
friend who says that "a man cannot
have pure mind who refuses apple dump
hngs, and DR.. Johnson speaks of a cler-
gyman OF his acquaintance who brought
his family up almost altogether on this
Angio-SaXon combination. We have rec
objections of dumplngs which might ac-
cord with the opinion Of Lamb. and then
we have recollections of other dumplings
which might have been the origin of Cal
vinism. 1t must be borne in mind that the
ideal apple Is one that Is fit to be eaten
raw; yet the glorious old Spitzenbur9 is
only fit for the cook-fn whose hands IL be-
comes the very perfection of pie apples
The nineteenth century went out with a
marvellous evolution of new sorts of fruits
of all kinds: but there was nothing in the
list to exceed the delicious juices of the
Northern Spy. the Macintosh Red, the
Shannon or the Stuarts Golden.
There Is nothing in the world to exceed
the beauty of the apple blossom: while
the air is laden with an exquisite perfume
that has charmed hundred generations
has added to the poesy. the love and the
comfort of Greek, of Roman and OF Briton-
But If there be anything more beautiful
than the apple in blossom 1t is the Same
tree loaded down with crimson and golden
fruit. Then It Is that the apple touches
human nature and wakens in the house,
