"One day my sisters nurse came to

those buildings which thought SO very
good for my stomach were not the
thing ut all. she said, and she told
me to try Grape Nuts food and cream
i'm which she had great faith. she al
ways gives it to her patients even
when they cannot eat anything else.
so I followed her advice and ate
Grape Nuts and cream for breakfast
and lunch and a dish before going to

Blueberries are quite plentiful in the
market at this time. but the price is
rather high. 1t is. to be sure. quite ear
ly in the season for these berries but
the reason why the price holds up is
due more to the demand in the largo
cities than to any earliness in the sea-
son. In this city yesterday the berries
We're selling at IL cents a quart, two
quarts for % cents. 1t is understood
that the crop in Washington county,
which is famous as a BURBERRY coun-
try. is fully up to the average. Latest
quot atoms from that county are to the
effect that the pickers are getting II
crrts a quart on the fields. so long as
those prices prevail there is little like
lihood of much of n decline until after
the local pickers begin to get sufficient
quantities of berries to supply this
market.

this season. and fruit of the second
growth. Last spring the tree leaved
out and blossomed as usual. Suddenly.
from some unknown cause. every leaf
and blossom withered and even the
bark of the tree around the base Of
the trunk peeled. Then the tree APP
reared to recover and new leaves and
blossoms came out. From these fruit
began to grow. Within the past week n
new generation Of blossoms has ap-
reared. and the unique appearance is
presented of fruit and blossoms on the
same branch. The tree is now doing
well. and the owner is now wondering
whether the blossoms now on the tree
also, will produce fruit.

time on business. Tuesday. Last Sun
day morning Mr. Dingley had an excit-
ing adventure with pickpockets at the
north union station in Boston. He had
lust boarded an east bound train and
was entering the smoking car when
he felt himself being jostled by two
men. one in front the other behind.
From the manner in which they were
working and the efforts of a third to
get close to him Mr.. Dingley felt that
they We're trying to rob him. He
promptly made n resistance and swung
his hard to his hip pocket. where his
rocket book was. Instantly his Sus-
picions were confirmed. for the pocket
hook had been nearly removed from
the pocket. The man realized that their
little game was up and promptly
sprang from the train, which had be-
gun to move by that time. All efforts
to locate them afterwards We're futile.
