WHEN THIRSTY, EAT FRUIT.
Substitute for HiEhbRIIs and SchoOn-
ers Within Reach of All.

Chicago Tribune.
The What TO Eat magazine says there 10
but one sure cure for the drink habit. This
is eating fruit. Let a man take an orange
in the morning instead of old Scotch Let
him keep apples in his desk, and, when he
feels the highball tempting him. devour one.
Let him eat prunes at lunch, Strawberries
at dinner. and a handful of dates or figs
before going to bed The drink Satan will
then get behind him. NO person." SAYS
What 10 Eat, lever saw a man or woman
who liked fruit and who had an appetite
for drink. No person ever saw a man or
woman with an appetite for drink, who
liked fruit
These statements are inconsistent with
the tradional affection of policemen for
both fruit stands and bars; but there are
exceptions to all rules. The fruit cure has
obvious advantages. Even those who dis
like fruit will prefer il to remedies that
taste worse and cost more When a man
goes off for three or four weeks to be
treated his absence exctes the suspicious of
watchful neighbors and requires an ex-
planation to his employers. He may take
the fruit cure without any such Disagree
able consequences. other cures are ex-
pensive The fruit cure costs nothing.
What is spent for oranges and prunes may
be saved on other edlbles and on whisky
and beer.
But the main advantage of the fruit cure
according to What to Eat, is that, unlike
others, IT is sure. This statement requires
proof. When people have seen "the drunk
ard return TO the thoughts and tastes of
childhood" merely from eating fruit they
will be convinced The new remedy Is
worth trying. There is no healthier food
than fruit. 1t aids digestion and helps
clean the poisons out of the system. II
is a natural tonic. If IT does not cure the
drink habit It will refresh and invigorate
| the drinker.

CONDITION OF JAPAN's ToILERs.
Struggle for Living Viewed
by Native,

I<iiChi hanekO in the Arena.
The condition of the workingmen in
Japan is a most miserable one. They are
yet in state which may be described as
wage slavery. In 1899 we had 2S0, 922 work
ers employed in the various factories in
Japan. OF these, 1S4l1l were female workers
They are working generally twelve hours a
day. and sometimes fifteen hours. Ordi-
nary workmen receive from 12 to 20 sen
Gents day; skilled laborers from 30 TO
40 sen: girls earn from 10 to 20 sen, and
children only few sen per day. Even
skilled mechanics receive but 50 sen per
day; seldom do they get as high as 80 to
80 sen. Street car drivers and conductors
receive 10 or ~ yen (dolars) per month";
while American conductors and motormen
receive $50 to $50 a month. Your policemen
receive 800 a month, while japanese po-
licemen get only IL yen per month. While
our carpenters earn 70 sen per day, your
carpenters receive So or 81 per day Here
you see the great difference between the
American and Japanese scale of wages
This means misery for the laborer. To be
a workman in Japan is to be a life slave
There is no chance to get ahead, no chance
to enjoy life. L learned from one of the
Toxic printers that there are thousands
of printers in Toxic alone and that they
are not more than twenty of all these who

That the flame of a youthful love was
carried by Mrs. Phoebe Berrian TO her
grave, at the ripe old age of three score
and ten, was attested, to the CONSERVATION
of her direct heirs-at-law, when her will
was filed for probate in the surrogate's
court in the old town hall of Flushing,
Long Island.
Mrs. Phoebe Berrian long outlived her
husband, and for years residents Of Locust
street. Flushing, where she lived, regarded
her as an eccentric woman. whose likes
and dislikes were hard 10 get at. She
lived so cheaply that no one ever gave
her credit of owning a fortune.
with the filing of the WILL month after
her death the surprising fact. that she had
left an estate of $4,000 was revealed. But
the most surprising thing was the uncov-
ering of the romance which neighbors had
suspected, but which their curiosity had
never been able to bring to the light.
The partner of the romance is Elmer A
Holden, business man of Franklin, n. Y.
AS the expectant heirs listened they heard
that they were cut off without cent and,
save for two bequests of 800 each, the en-
tire estate of $4,000 is to go to Holden, the
old flame of the youth OF Mrs. Berrian
The two s1OO beauests are to the sister and
the nephew Of years gone by. who are long
since dead, and the $500 will go to their
heirs

No interruption has occurred except
strike, which had no special relation to

Rising above the roof of a storage ware
house on the upper East side is tall flag
staff that is sure to fix the attention OF
anybody seeing it for the first time, flag
stan that is set up and rugged like the
mast of ship.
1t Is in two parts, a lower mast and
topmast with the regulation crosstrees at
the point of junction, while running up on
either side to the crosstrees. from the
sides of the building at the roof, are
shrouds, ratlined like those set to stay
the mast of ship: and projecting from the
rear of the staff is a gaff like the upper
spar of a fore-and-aft sail, TO add to the
flagstaff's marine appearance. 1t is YES

This unique hagstaff was set up by one
of the owners of the storage concern who
had been a sailor and had served in the
German navy and who loved the sea, and
whose fancy II pleased TO set up this flag
staff in the manner described. He is now
gone, but his surviving partners, of his
own family have maintained the staff as
he left it. and so it stands today, all trim
and shipshape and doubtless the most
novel of all New York City's flagpoles.

Now that the council has disposed of
the paving specifications, it might be in
order for that body to get together as a
committee of the whole to improvise an
ordinance prohibiting the laying Of
wooden sidewalks in Omaha from now
on and forever. A salutary example has
been set in this direction by the mayor
and council of Grand Island, where all
sidewalks are required to be of brick,
stone or concrete. The plea that side
walks laid on streets that have not yet
been graded must be built of perishable
material is preposterous. Brick side
walks can be taken up and reaid at
comparatively little cost. They do not
decay nor do they warp and leave gaps
that become n menace to limbs If not to

ersed.

The "jewelry district" being Maiden
Lane and the vicinity, is wondering what
has become OF one of it's picturesque fig-
ures, an old matchmaker, whose boast was
that his own timepiece never lost two sec
onds a year. Every day at noon he would
stand beside his window and gaze at the
brass ball that drops from its pole on the
Western Union building on the minute Of
midday. Around him, hung on pegs, lying
on the window sill strung along the sash,
were rows of watches For several min
utes before the hour of noon the old man
had been waitin= and when the ball
dropped he would take a quick look at all
the watches. Five minutes later he was
busy regulating them and making a table
to show how much time each had lost or
gained.
The ONCE on the top fioUr was rented
solely because the window commanded a
good view Of the time ball. and the noon
calculations came to be mania with the
jeweler, who, although he prospered with
all sorts Of mending appeared to take lit
tie interest in anything except watches
that needed to be compared with the ball.
How he came TO desert the window nobody
in Maiden Lane can tell, All the Lane
knows is that he has moved to another
city.
