LIBRARY
SOON TO Be READY.

The T%ottenville Public Library
building seems to have received a new
inspiration and bids fair to reach
completion at last, having been retard-
ed through strikes and other causes
The first fund this library secured
was gained By the Philemon Literary
CLUB, who, aided by the Philo Debat-
ing Club, presented the play "The
Scrap of Paper" Aided by contribu-
tions from other sources, this fund
grew until it was largely increased by
the city and finally taken in charge
by the same. Having received Nj.
Carnegie's handsome gift, TottenvilIe
will soon have a library that will be
a credit to her residents. Work has
now been continued and the building
will be known as the Carnegie Free

THE Getty OF CRICKEro."
Seems to Be an Appropriate Name for
San Antonio, Tex. - Insects
Are Plentiful There.

San Antonio ought to be called the
city of crickets," said a man who has
just returned to New Orleans from Tex
~, says the New Orleans Times-DemO-
crat, for | have never found as many
crickets anywhere on earth as | found out
there. 1t is not sinsply a case Of the
cricket on the hearth. 1t is a case Of the
cricket everywhere you go. have been
trying to figure out why it is that these
insects are SO plentiful in the Texas own
in question. AT night they swarm
around the electric lights like the bugs
we are familiar with in other places.
1t is impossible to walk along the streets
without stepping on them. And there is
just a bit OF poetry about the situation
in San Antonio with respect to cricket
life there.
The people generally look upon them
with a feeling of affection, and 1t is a
rare thing to see a citizen show any
sort of indifference to the members of
this interesting family. No man would
think of tread!ng on a cricket. They
take particular pains not to do anything
that would in any way inJure the lives
or limbs of crickets. was speaking of
the poetry of the situation. 1t is a fine
thing to hear the crickets grooming
carly in the evening. They chirp as
cheerfully as If they were hidden away
in the weeds of some romantic hedge
or on the hearth which has been i'm
mortalized in verse and song. Men hurry
along the streets; women brush along
with their musical skirts, and all the
while the crickets keep on grooming
their little love songs, just as If the
pulses Of humanity were not beating
about them. 1t is interesting, pictur-
esque, poetic and, If I had my way, I
would christen San Antonio the City of
Crickets.' l think the name would add
color to a city already romantic in its
rich c%olOrinC."

BENEFITS OF FRUIT EATING.
Those Kinds That Are Agreeable
Should lie Frequently
on the Table.

The lack Of logic in some persons sal
dom appears in q more striking manner
taan n certain popular and mistaken
tailacies On the subject Of fruit-oating.
Thor are thousands Of men and women
who are within easy reach Of orchards
and fruit-gardens, or G. irCit-stalls, who
sit Gown each morning 10 a heavy,
greasy, fried breakfast, which axes their
digestive organs 70 the Utmost. Many of
them never take fruit ct all except in the
form Of pie, says Youths Companion
The habit of serving fresh fruit il the
morning has never been formed in their
ianilies, possibly because 1t has rot
seemed easy to get except Fl the summer.
let y II the country, where there are
10 i"ult-markets, there are few families
Wlo DO rot have s barrel or two Of ap-
PIES in their cellar In the winter. no bet
ter use could be made OF these apples
than to serve them al breakfast. They
are best raw, but for those who cannot
easily digest %uEcooEed .ruit they might
be baked or made into apple sauce.
Another reason FOR the neglect TO serve
fruit at table is doubtless the fact that
some special Kind OF fruit has disagreed
with ore or more members OF the family.
This, Of course. is rot sufficient reason.
Instead CT interchangeable, the better way
would be to discover what kinds capJbe
eaten with impunity, and to use those.
Those who suffer from rheumatism or
gcut need a plentiful allowance of the
hcids furnished by many kinds OF fruit.
For these people especially apples are
invaluable. There is no reason why they
should not be cooked SO long as they are
not made into pie, nor is there anything
poisonous in a well-made pie; but
incidentally, fruit is better in its simple
state.
Oranges are among the most useful OF
fruits, and when eaten freely tend to %
rect many sluggish bodily conditions.
The smaller fruits-currants, strawber-
ries, raspberries and so on-agree with
some people and not with others, and
must be adapted to each case.
There are people who cannot eat the
more acid red fruits without suffering
from a rash or other disturbance. But
of oranges, grapefruit. peaches, apples,
pears and grapes, It IL safe to say that
most people would gain In health by
making one or the other CT them serve
each cay for an entire meal.

HOLD-UP EASILY FOILED.
with Na1uablcs I'm Left Hand Protec-

ton of Police.

A man who carries his money and
his watch In his left hand will
never lose a penny nor a time
piece in a hold-up. The ~precaution
which Is a perfect one, Is so simple
that few people have thought of it.
Yet 1t has the sanction of the police.
and its efficacy has been proven in
more than n instance, says the Chi
cago Tribune.
AS soon as the citizen IS confronted
by the hOld-up ma he will, if he has
his money and his watch in his hand.
throw them on the nearest lawn or
into the ditch. No highway robber has
time to stop and look for either. There
is no sense in carrying v~aluables in
the right hand, because the first move
of every accomplished hold-up man is
to grab his victim by his right arm.
The movement is made to prevent the
victim from reaching for a revolver.
The man who tries to draw a revol-
yer while the hold-up man is in front
of him taxes his life in his hands. If
I citizen carries a revolver at all he
should carry 1t in his right hand while
in a dangerous street. His money and
his watch should always be in his left.
Then after he had thrown them away
and the robber has departed discom-
flied the victim can take his time about
finding his property.
This simply plan discounts all the
revolvers, sword canes, slungshots,
md brass knuckles ever invented and
has the added beauty that it a be
employed by a woman as well as q
man. To throw the purse or the watch
l.away takes but a fraction of a second,
and that isn't long.
