Fresh Fruit.

Sold in the morning, silver at noon
and lead at night is always used with
reference to fruit. Most people think it
means that the explanation of the prov
erb is that digestion is strongest in the
morning and weakens as the day goes
on. But you will note that the proverb
refers to fruit alone. If it has to do
with the digestive power only it should
be applied to all foods. The real expla.
nation is very different. 1t is that fruit
freshly gathered is fitted for eating and
lessons in value as the hours pass That
is true not OF fruit only, but Of all veg
etables. That which comes direct from
the garden to the table is the most pal
atable and in every way best fitted for
consumption.

Breaking Eggs For a Living.


A correspondent of contemporary
who has been searching for the most
monotonous method of earning living
decides in favor of that of cracking
eggs. Il met man who said he was
q biscuit manufacturer on a large scale
and was rather inclined to boast about
the number Of ggs-continental eggs
which his firm bought in the course Of
a year. Now, it seems that to avoid
calamity five eggs are broken into 4
bowl at a time before being added to
the common stock. There are men, he
told me, who do nothing else but crack
eggs. They become so expert that a
man can dispose Of 1000 an hour, OF
10000 a day"-London STAR

OBESITY A DISEASE.
Vigorous 5Ie:,sures For IT'S Removal
Should BE Taken.

ShUtsiA ESG slAlNen.
At middle age certain organs lose
functional activity and shrink and
waste away demanding less blood and
nerve energy. This decreased need for
nutrition, il not needed, will result in
taking into the body more food than
can be oxidized and used either to
build up tissue or for the generation Of
heat and energy. The result is kid

COLOR OF THE SUN.
What Would Happen If 1t We're 9th.
ee Than What II Is

= =
a German astronomer has published
some interesting observations on the
theoretical effects of a change in the
color Of the sun. 1t is amazing to con-
slider the possibilities il our sun were
green, blue or red instead of what it
is. II it We're blue, there would be
only two colors in the world blue and
black. If it We're red. then everything
would be red or. black Ii it were yell
low, everything would be yellow or
black. Every one knows that the light
of our sun consists of six colors, and
the reason things are different hues is
that some swallow up five of the colors
and reflect only one. thus we have
primoses yellow because they absorb
all but the yellow. roses red because
they absorb all but the red violets
purple because they absorb every
thing but red and blue, a mixture of
which two colors forms purple
Iii the event Of the sun being red,
roses, blood, red ink and all other
things that are now red would refleet
it. Sc also would snow, the lily and
lAdCS 11S LIZ w.. ftllIC, UOl
these would, of course, be red. Every
thing else would swallow up the red
light and appear quite black. Grass.
for instance, would be black as ink,
and SO would the blue of the sky, but
! the white clouds would be red. The
same kind sof thing would happen If
the sun were blue. Everything now
blue or white would be blue and every.
thing else black. The whole sky,
clouds and all, would be blue The
grass this time would be blue, not
black, for it reflects both blue and
yellow. Flair would be all black, the
red of the lips would be black, and the
rest Of the face would be cloudy
blue. II the sun were green, we would
have little variety. Things that are
now yellow would still be yellow,
things that are blue would be blue,
i and things that are green would still
be green. but there would be no reds,

CHEEKY hues that make the world look
