Medicinal Vegetables.

Vegetables have direct effect upon
the human system and often combine
rare curative powers. Spinach af-
fords relief in kidney troubles, and
the common dandelion, used as greens,
is excellent for the same thing. AS
paragus purges the blood. Celery acts
admirably upon the nervous system
and is a cure for rheumatism and
neuralgia. Tomatoes act upon the liv-
er. Beets and turnips are excellent
appetizers. Lettuce and cucumbers
are cooling in their effects upon the
system. Onions, garlic, leeks. olives
and shallots, all OF which are similar,
possess medicinal virtues of a marked
character, stimulating the circulatory
system, and the consequent increase
In the saliva and gastric juice promotes
digestion. Red onions are an excellent
diuretic. and the white ones are rec
ommended TO be eaten raw as a rem
edy for insomnia. A soup made from
onions is regarded by the French as
an excellent restorative in weakness

PInnt n Tree.

When eating a good pear OF apple
save the seeds and plant them either in
flower pot, where they will germi-
nate before long, or else directly in the
garden, when they will come up next
spring. To prevent their loss the place
must be covered as u mark. 1t takes
a number OF years before they bear
fruit, but to see the progress Of growth
from year to year is always interest
ing. People often think It is not worth
while for them to plant trees. They
will not live to have fruit Of them and
so neglect It entirely. But some one
will enjoy the harvest. 1t is just the
individual egotism which causes &c
much unhappiness and Affects al
classes Of society in many ways

Eve. Annie Tree.

In Ceylon there is a tree called
Ewes apple tree" which is remark
able in that the orange red fruit is
beautiful to look upon, yet out of each
fruit a piece appears to have been Bit
ten. 1t is said that the stimulation OF
a fruit which has been bitten into is
perfect. For this reason and because
the fruit is a deadly poison the ma
tives declare that it is the same tree
which grew in the garden OF Eden.
and Il is a perpetual reminder OF dis
obedient act.
The sunlight OF publicity is often wha'

An illuminating Crab.

One Of the marine curiosi.ies fshed
some time ago from the bottom Of the
Indian ocean was a mammoth sea crab
which continually emitted a bright
white light similar to that seen in the
spasmodic flashes Of phosphorescent
luminosity emitted by the common
glowworm. The crab was captured in
the daytime and placed in large tank
containing specimens Of fish, nothing
peculiar except ifs immense size being
noticeable in the broad glare of the
tropical sun. At night. however, when
all was pitchy darkness, the crab lit up
the tank so that the other creatures in
It could be plainly seen.

ChinchiIIa Jacket

One OF the smart new models in fur
is a jacket of chinchilla; the skins are
chosen so that the dark ribs run hori-

and opening in front over a vest of gui-

When comparisons are made between
America and Continental Europe, we
can find much of which to be proud.
Our growth, our wealth, our indus
tries, our resources, our energy, all
make fiattcring comparison with aver
age European conditions. But I be-
lieve in maxim such comparisons,
there Is no one thing OF which we have
the right to be more proud than OF the
Congress Of the United States. Bet
ter than any Continental parliament.
II represents the people. The one legis-
latlve body Of the world that is in any
way compared to ours, is the Parlia-
ment OF Great Britain. In character,
intellect, methods, dignity. and in the
truthfulness with which each repre-
sents the people, the British Parliament
and the United States Congress are in
a class quite apart and above any of
the parliaments of continental Europe

This afternoon came the sham bat
tie which was carried out under the

band at the time Roman Nose was
killed. Several hundred young men on
