Mission of Music.

Music boxes and blue lights are
two Of the latest things in the line
of anaesthetics. The music boxes
do not reduce pain or render the
patients insensible, but, accord.
Ing to Prof. Redard, of Geneva,
they do take away certain i'll eff.
fects that often accompany the
use of anaesthetics. 1t is a well.
known fact that external impress
sions received during the period of
sOmnOlence have great bearing on
the dreams. From this Prof. Red
ard conceived the idea of utilizing
music. 1t was found that the
music had a tendency to take away
the disagreeable excitation pre-
vious to the use of chlOroform or
other anaesthetic. The awaken.
Ing was also found to be free from
excitement.

"spoon-Billn Idiots.

The late Prof. Laycock, of Edin.
burgh university, used to divide
idiots into two clases-povertv
idiots and luxury idiots. The for
mel were characterized by phys
ical deformity and the latter BY
refined and delicate CONFORMATION,
small heads and great prominence
of the central region of the face.
The luxury idiots, whom he traced
to Incidence and self-indulgence
through many generations with
breeding in-and.in, he called
"spOon,bilP idiots, and used to
point out that they were of the
type represented by aristocratic
noodles. There was less breeding
in-and-in among the upper classes
than there used to be, but he him
self did not doubt that exemption
for o number of generations from
any participation in the struggle
for existence, with high feeding
and effeminacy, tended to induce
mental weakness of a special type.

ARTISTS GRAVE MISTAKE.
Made an Alteration in Fellow Ar
lists Picture That Accomplished
the Impossible.

An artist was talking about the
noted German painter, the late
Adolf Won Mcneil:
won Mcneil" he said, re.
lates the San Francisco News
Letter, painted the clearest
and most distinct of pic
lures, Everything with him was
worked out to the last hair moth
ing was ever suggested. Withsug-
gested, sketchy, impressionistit
pictures he had no sympathy. He
was called the M%eissonier of Ger.
many.
in a discussion of a certain inn
pressionist's vague, unintelligi-
BE work, ] once heard Won Mcneil
fell this incident:
This man Markheim sold to
Countess Y two years ago
ne of his landscapes. The
Huntess, after she had had the
ndscape a few weeks, tired of it.
md to another artist, who dined
with her one night, she said:
- think the new picture thar
Herr Markheim sold me lacks an.
imation. 1t needs life in it.
Would you be willing to paint for
me a man or woman on that road
that runs through the middle?
"'Why, surely, madam, said
the second painter. And he took
the picture home with him, made
the addition, and returned it the
next morning.
Later, meeting Markheim, he
said:
81 had the audacity to alter
a landscape of yours the other
day. 1t was the landscapeyousold
Countess x. She wanted a
figure in it, and, to oblige her, |
painted an old peasant walking
down the road
"Markheim frowned.
THE roadY he said. The road?
| don't remember any road in thar
picture
ooh, yes; there is a road said
the other.
AZ can't recall it, said Mark
helm.
FINALLY, to settle the matter,
they went to the house of the
countess, and stood before the
picture.
There said Markheim's
brother artist, there is your road
and there is my old peasant walk
ing down it,
Fool Markham cried; what
have you done? That is not a road
in the center of my work. It is a
river"

FRUIT FOODS IN AMERICA.
People Of the United States Drifting
More Strongly to That
Kind Of Diet.


That Americans are great meat
eaters may be considered a fact Of
derivation from the hunting and
fishing stage of the country's life,
says the Baltimore Herald. So
long as meat was abundant and
and cheap it had the recommen-
datiOns which led to its choice as
the principle article of food. The
vegetarian who here and there
raised his voice in protest against
the consumption of flesh foods
was little needed. A people are
guided in the selection of their
foods very little by deliberate
choice. They eat the things which
are closest to hand. The time may
come with that remote future to
which is referred everything uto.
plan when nations will deliber.
ately select the predominating
articles of their diet with refer.
ence to the development of specific
racial characteristics. But at
present people in general are not
even convinced that what they eat
has relevancy to what, as a nation,
they become.
For a few centuries to come
Americans will certainly continue
to eat the 'fOod convenient for
them" while good-humoredIy al.
lowing the cerealists to tickle
their palates with health foods.
But even American independence
or Indifference is amenable to the
Dictates of destiny. Just now
Americans seem destined to drift
more strongly than ever toward
a fruit diet. The moving consid.
GRAFTON is the fancy figures, with
an upward tendency ut which
flesh foods are sold. The other
consideration is the abundance
and cheapness of fruits. AS wis.
dom takes counsel of necessity. a
third motive, which of itself
would not have great weight. is
the superior wholesomeness of
fruit foods.
We produce the biggest apple
crops in the world, our peach
crops are unparalleled, our wa
termelons and small fruits re-
spond in abundance to the mere
tickling of the soil with a hoe.
The same story holds true of all
domestic fruits. But this term has
become elastic. California dis
tributes throughout the country
great quantities of tropical fruits,
and the area Of cultivation of
these is constantly extending.
When the Panama trench is dug
the Pacific coast fruits can be got
ten to the eastern markets with
greatercelerityand less cost. Mod
ern means of transportation have
made the plantations of the West
Indies also almost the same as
though they we're within the
country confines.
1t is safe to predict that the con.
sumption of bananas especially
will soon be increased. Oranges
are being consumed in rapidly in
creasing quantities, Certainly
during the summer months fruit
will be king. During the winter
months the force of habit will pre-
vail, and more fruit and less meat
will be eaten. If we are not in a
way to become a nation of fruit
eaters we are certainly losing our
distinction as meat eaters.
