Fruit as a. Medicine.

The editor of the Manatee River
Journal printed the following, all of
which we endorse, except that we
would amend the last paragraph by
adding lines.
Most people eat fruit when it is
to be had, because they relish it. But
if you associate the idea of medicine
with it, the perversity of human ma
ture is so great that many would lose
their desire for it at once. Still we
have no doubt that people would be
more healthy if they ate more good,
fresh, ripe fruit and less meat. The
following is from Modern Women:
Many of our common fruits are
just as useful, and much nicer, than
doctors prescriptions, says "Modern
Women" The apple for instance
Not only is the apple an excellent
purifier of the blood but is a cure for
dysentery, and has also the peculiar
effect of restoring an intoxicated per-
son to sobriety. A diet of stewed
apples eaten three times a day has
worked wonders in cases of confirm
ed drunkenness, giving the patient
evidently an absolute distaste for al
cohol in any form.

account which would look big even in
Milwaukee.
We have for some time been run

whole cloth.
The statistics will show that Flo

the Union, and her farmers are grow

Most of the products are imported,

leaves are eaten as well. The cattle
run around the whole year. If the
people were able they would build
stables for them, but even their own
houses are so bad, that the wind blows
in from all four sides. The houses
are from about three to four miles
apart; the most of them are vacated

money they brought along. The farm

Water In Grindinu.

Why is water used on Il grind
stone in sharpening ii knife: That
is one of the questions asked on the
porch of summer hotel recently.
and, although several we'll informed
men and women were in the little
gathering, the only one who could
answer it satisfactorily was iif-
teeli-ypar-old schoolboy. Here Is
the explanation he gave; The OBJ
ject in using water is to secure a
better contact of the blade with the
stone, 50 that the entire edge of
the blade may be smoothly sharp
ened. The application of water not
only fills the little spaces between
the particles of stone, but it softens
them and thus makes a smoother
. surface. If dry stone were used
the edge of the blade would be
rough, for the friction would be
unequal.

The Worlds Submarine CabIss,

There are about 225,OO0 miles Of
cable in all at the bottom of the
sea, representing $250,000, 900, each
line costing about 81 1000 mile to
make and lay. The average useful
life of cable nowadays is anything
between thirty and forty years, ac-
cord'ng to circumstances. About
100000 messages are conveyed by
the worlds cables throughout the
year, or $4,000 day, the working
speed Of any one cable being up to
100 words a minute under present
conditions. About 80 per cent of
these are sent in code or cipher.
