The effect of fruit juice on the
health is well known. 1t has recently
been discovered that lemon juice will
destroy the germs Of typhoid fever
and other diseases. While 1t is doubt
full whether lemon juice could be taken
into the stomach Of sufficient strength
to destroy disease germs, there is no
doubt that the effect Of fruit juice is
good, having tendency to free the
stomach from disease germs, and be-
ing beneficial in other ways. Most peo-
pie need acids of fruits in order to be
healthy; even those who are troubled
with sourness Of the stomach are
sometimes relieved by little lemon
juice taken in glass Of water, since
the acids Of fruits often counteract the
acidity of the stomach. Most fruits
are made up largely of juice. If we
extract the juice from lemon, orange,
apple, peach or grape we have not
much substance left, therefore when
you drink a glass of unfermented
grape juice, or other fruit juice, you
secure nearly all the healthful and
nourishing properties Of the fruit it.

Health Notea.

Fever bllsters can be gotten rid Of
by the use of powdered alum.
For bronchitis, take the dried leaves
of common mullen plant; powder and
smoke in clay pipe.
Liquid carbolic acid, one-half drachm
to four ounces iodine will prevent the
discoloration Of the skin.
A little carbolic acid added to the
water in which burns, bruises and cuts
are washed greatly lessons the sore
ness.
Sulphur Is a system regulator, espe-
cially when the skin shows a need for
such, and is particularly adapted for
old chronic cases.
Camphor is generally considered as
a depressant, and, being an anti-spas-
modic, Is useful in collie, and Is always
the first remedy thought Of in cases
of cholera.
A simple remedy for softening and
whitening the hands consists In the
use Of almond meal, cornmeal or oat
meal instead Of soap, and then rubbing
them with lemon juice.
Refrigerants.-The cooling proper
ties of lemons, lines and apples are
well known. These are useful fruits
for hot weather and to protect against
heat-stroke. Apples are also laxative
and diuretic as well as refrigerant.
Diuretics.-For the kidneys, the fol
lowing fruits have diuretlc properties
and are therefore used in kidney dis
eases: Grapes, peaches, strawberries
whortleberries, prickly pears, blacl
currants, and pumpkin and melor
seeds

Melinda Went.

One of the old Governors of the Car
olinas was a man who had lived a
farmers life most of the time until he
was elected; and his wife having never
seen a steamboat or a railroad and
having no wish to test either one, re-
fused to accompany her husband to
the capital.
When the Governor reached his des-
tinaton he found that almost all the
other officials were accompanied by
their wives, and he sent an imperative
message to his brother to fetch Me
linda along"
The brother telegaphed, "Shes
afraid even to look at the engine"
The Governor read the message and
pondered over it for few moments
At the end of that time he sent off the
following command:
''Bill, you blindfold Melinda, and
back her on to the train"
Melinda arrived at the capital
with the victorious "Blll" twenty-foul
hours later.

ly the case in the Kingdom of SoXony,
wherein the cities Of Meissen and
Dresden produce porcelain that is ex.
ported to almost every country in the
world. Porcelain industries on small
Ter scale are also to be found in Chem
nitz. Plauen and Aue. The Walden
burg district in Silesia Is also noted
for its fine grade of porcelain. In
Thuringia, Bavaria, as well as in some
districts on the Saar and Rhine, pOr
celain is manufactured in considerable
quantities.
One of the most noted porcelain fac
tories in Germany is that which is
operated by the Saxon government at
Nielsen. 1t exports about $4,000
worth Of porcelain goods to the United
States every year. There are 700 work
men employed in the factory, and 1t
is worthy of note that this number has
remained about the same during the
last $50 years. Girls earn, when skill
full, about rs cents day, and the skill
ed workmen who can model and paint
earn $3.50 day.
There is an industrial art school in
connection with the factory, where
pupils, and apprentices are taught
drawing for two years. When this
course is completed they pass on to the
modelling and painting department for
another two years. At the compile
ton of the course the most skillful
are sent to Dresden, Berlin and other
cities to study the fine arts. On their
return to Meissen they are sure to find
life employment, either in the por-
celain factory Of the government or in
some other factory Of the city.
There are four primary industrial
schools in Saxony-namely, in Chem
nitz, Dresden, Nielsen and Zwickau.
The number of pupils at present in all
four schools is 241. These pupils are
all apprentices, who are compelled to
spend four years in learning their
trade, and four months each year are
spent in some Of these industrial
schools.
According to Gothien's Deutsche Aus
senhandle, in 1900 Germany exported
26,643 tons of white Chinaware and
painted porcelain goods to foreign
countries, valued at $9,9OO,SO0. The
United States Is far In advance of all
other countries In buying china from
Germany, importing 1O,463 tons, oil
20 per cent of the total exports. Great
Britain holds second place, importing
only 5,722 tons.
In 1900 Germany imported from
France, Austria Hungary and Japar
