APPLE IS ROYAL FRUIT.
Kings Before Edward VII Were Fond
Of HealthfuI Fruit.


Of Heathful Fruit.
The earnest student Of sociology
likes to think of Edward VII Of Eng
land, defender Of the faith, enjoying
the Colorado seedless apples, welcom-
ing the continuance of the American
invasion. exclaiming, not "delighted!"
but "deliciousl" King Alfred with
his cakes, King John with his stewed
pears and new cider, King Edward
biting into the apple-all are scenes
for the brilliant art of our friend the
historical painter. says the Boston
Herald. Let us hope that Edward
will persevere, that he will eat one or
two apples at breakfast; or, If they
do not go with tradition marmalade
and bacon and eggs, just after he
is put to bed. A healthful fruit, in
spite Of the warnings Of sundry an
cient leeches and philosophers Kings
before Edward knew the value of IT,
and even tavern-haunting Prince Hal
used to stewed prunes, put a dish Of
applejohns before Sir Jack Falstaff in
the mad days of Poins and Pistol.
There were good apples in the pc.

of these apples may still be used in
divination, though on all Halloween,
it makes no difference whether the

Ewes Of snaI!s and Fishes.

Snails have eyes at the ends Of
tubes, which they can project like
guns from a turret, enabling them to
see in all directions at once, whereas
most fishes-being without necks-
have to turn their entire body to see
more than a small part of their sur
roundings.

in eastern Asia, is as odd a calling as

to the winter kind, and the tooth
stainer, with little box Of brushes

process is not unlike that of backing

teeth. The pigment is harmless.

Irish Alphabet.

TIL. Irish language has only eighteen
letters. Sometimes each letter is
written separately and not Joined
together. The chief difficulty in learn
ing Irish is that there are innumer-
able abbrevations for words and
phrases. The Irish language is nom
phonetic, the words rarely being key
to the correct pronunciation.

reminiscence Of his experience as a

The Joy In me rises, rises,

The Joy in me rises, rises,

Care of Cut Flowers

This is the time Of the year when
woman treasures her cut flowers. In
summer. when the vases may be re-
filled every day, it is not 80 neces-
sary to know just how best to keep
flowers fresh the longest possible mo-
ment; but in midwinter we watch our
flowers hourly, hoping that they may
last for a day or two longer.
One woman, a flower lover. has given
these hints about the care Of cut flow
ers. On receiving any blooms she al
ways cuts the stems to open the pores
and puts the flowers into vases filled
with ice water. The stems of roses
must be striped Of all their lower leaves.
for these leaves absorb the nutriment
of the water and your roses fade twice
as fast. Twice a day-the first thing
after breakfast and the last thing at
night-she gives her flowers fresh ice
water, cutting her stems every morn
ing one-quarter of an inch. Every
night flowers should be put into a
room where there is outside air COM
ing in, but not where water will freeze.
This woman invariably keeps a bunch
of roses in their pristine beauty for a
week.

JUST FOR WOMEN
The Lunch BAG

Many girls earning small salaries, or
for whom it is for some reason not con-
venient to buy a lunch. carry some-
thing with them to eat at the noon
hour. Methods of carrying It are some-
thing of problem. There was the girl
whose leather music roll fell into the
car aisle one morning, divulging to the
eyes of the astonished passengers who
had long supposed her a musical gem

over these methods. though, is the lit
tie cloth bag lots OF girls carry. This
seems to be the incest idea, on the
whole, because it can be made OF cloth
to match ones gown, or even of silk
and thus looks very well, while IL af-

One wman's innovation in the way OF
these bags is worth telling about FOR
its economy and neatness. She makes
hers of the heaviest and sillxiest black
satine, which looks exactly like sllb
and lasts her a year without getting
shabby. For this she has two smaller
bags Of unbleached muslin. just large
enough to slip the neatly wrapped
luncheon into and these bags go regu-
larly into the laundry each week, thus
preserving the freshness Of the outei
bag. Something new in the shops, too
is suggestive. 1t is a ten-inch bag o.

silk cords and attached to the top by

purse which may swing either inside ol
