cases where persons under no pecunary

Fruits and Nuts as Food.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Experiments with a dietary of fruits and
nuts at the University of California have
shown that both furnish the body with en-

of fruits and nuts varied from Is to 40
cents a day for each person, which will
compare faVorably with the cost of an or
binary mixed diet. one student gradually
changed from a mixed diet to fruits and
nuts without apparent loss of strength or
health. He was able for eight days of the
experiment to carry on his usual college
work ana for a part of the time he also

home missionary society were planning to

in the neighborhood was described to Miss
Adams as peculiarly fitted for certain

mission said:

/ FOR SUMMEROUTINGs

With the swelling Of the maple buds
comes the Inevitable restlessness Of spring.
and plans for summer outings are already
simmering In the brains Of those to whom
a summer outing is a real or fanoied neces-
s!ty. To be sure Washington has made q
new reputation for itself the past few years
and the warm season has not been the pur-
gatory of decade ago, but a change is
desired or desirable for all who can &C.
complish 1t.
With the thought of leaving home for a
time longer or shorter, unless travelling Is
to be the business of the summer the ma
jority of womankind like to busy their
fingers with some light needlework as they
sit on hotel piazzas or under the shade of
some big tree in the real country.
OF course there is always joke about
the perennial piece of embroidery that has
seen many seasons come and go and is still
unfinished. but in reality there is a grea I
deal Of industry among women, young and
Old, during a vacation, and any novel ideas
on the subject are always welcomed when
preparation is making for d heightened
stay from home.
With much hand work lavished on
clothes it is to be presumed that such
artistic needlework takes first place in the
affections of every young woman at least
who has any taste in that line, but that
means unfinished garments to carry away,
which is hardly feasible, though that is
sometimes done

Last summer the fashioning of rather
elaborate linen waist occupied the fingers
of one sojourner at a seaside place for
many hours, and the dressmaker in the
town nearby put it together finally when
all the dainty hand work was finished.
AS a rule however, something in the
purely ornamental line is selected. and
pretty table accessories are generally ffrst
choice. This season colored silks for table
use are rather superseded by the very prac-
ticable as well as fashionable cotton en-
broidery on linen, which for Its laundering
qualities appeals to every housekeeper.
The center pieces follow the same lines
as dress decoration and open English en-
broidery or ''eyelet work is used on them.
The round ones have beautiful designs,
usually with eyelet and laid work combined.
and are most attractive if well done, poor
work not having the glamour of color to
conceal defects of stitchery.
The laid work should be stuffed somewhat,
and the heavy edge scallop likewise to get
the best result.
This work is no more difficult than silk
embroidery and will be found to be quite
as fascinating to execute.
