The Fruit of the Vine.

At no season of the year are grapes so plentiful and beautiful as they are now. We may take our grape cure at home, with the fresh fruit as far as 1t is possible, and then pack away all we can for the wintry day. Nothing is so wholesome as the grape and indeed in Switzerland, Austria and other European countries, grape cure institutions are fla nous, the patients living on grapes and bread, and reporting marvellous cures.
 Some recipes for the use of the plenti- ful grape are Grape Cobbler, Topioch Grape Pudding, Grape Sherbet, Grape Juice Grape Jam, and various others. For Grape Sherbet us quart of grape juice (any kind of grapes preferred), two cupfus orange juice and two cupfus sugar. When thoroughly mixed and the sugar dissolved turn into freezer. When half frozen remove the dasher, add the well beaten whites of two eggs, mix well and pack in ice and salt to harden.
 To make a delicious Grape Cobbler, take a deep earthen dish and put in the bottom a layer of washed and seeded grapes, then layer of sugar alternating grapes and sugar until the dish is full. Add a tablespoonful of water and cover with rich crust. If the grapes are too small to seed readily stew first with little water and then soft strain and sweeten to taste. In this case a lattice crust is rather better than the ordinary whole crust.

in an appearance among the girls of low cred vitality and of overspent nervous force. l am told that not more than 25 out of all the women employed at the East Pittsburg factory have been there as much as three or four years.
 In the screw and bolt works, a girl sits in front of the machine on a wooden stool roughly fashioned from unplaned boards. When she receives the bolt, it's edges are rounded, but she fits 1t into a groove of the machine which carries 1t under a cut ter, where the protrudng part is cut off and the end of the bolt made square. This Is the motion of the operator for ten hours day: she takes the bolt in her left hand from the box at her side, takes 1t from her left hand with her right and feeds 1t point downward into the machine. This is repeated at intervals of two sec- onds, and Is paid for at the rate of six cents for thousand, because the com pany has found that when it pays by the day the girls tend to miss some of the motions of the machine. If each move- ment of the press is caught, the girl will have repeated her operation 16,000 times a day, with a wage of 96 cents. There Is no danger in the machine" the superin- tendent said, the girl is not obliged to put her fingers under the press, but of course toward the end of the day she sometimes gets careless"

Why Americans Can't Rsst.

From "The Way to Rest" by Eustace
 Miles, in the November Metropolitan
 Magazine
 The Americans. masters of many arts strike the visitor from our damp and fog gy land as being novices In the art of resting. It is not that they have no pleasures and recreations; they have these in abundance. It is that they are not leisurely.
 If evidence were needed, would mere ly point to their eyes. The eye is not only the light of the body; it is the be- trayer of the nature and characteristics And the eye of the typical American is not restful, except, perhaps, after a heavy meal. It is tense.
 It seems strange to me that with all the education which is given in this coun- try to fit people for activity, there Is no training to it people for rest While children are taught more and more to use their eyes in observation and reading they are never taught at all to rest their eyes and so to rest their minds as we'll
 Possibly many will not understand what this means. A comparison will make the fact clearer. A nervous and highly strung person tends to clench his hand and to grip. A lesurely and easy person does not-ne has his hands re- faxed, comfortable, and untensed. So 1t Is with the eyes. A nervous and highly strung person is likely to clench his eyes, as 1t were, and not let them be untensed. If an artist wants to note anxiety he makes the face and eyes in the picture drowning and strained.
 A very simple exercise first brought to my notice by the wife of a leading Eng fish politician, Is to look at a distance, or to close the eyes and imagine some scenery far away and blurred. If one tries this, one may be conscious of pos itive relaxing of the muscles of the eye. It feels almost as if the eye were an anemone, left dry upon rock, con- pressed and hard, and then expanded and softened by the sea water that rises and covers it. We can ''sense' our eye opening out similarly. And the mental relief of this physical act is wonderful.

Disraeli's Etiquette Alphabet

At the age of 12 years, Benjamin Dis raeli, Earl of Beaconsield composed the following wonderful aorostc: Avoid thou all evil, all rudeness, all
 haste, Be gentle, be cheerful. be kindly be Consider the needs of the old and the
 weak; Don't volunteer counsel, think twice ere
 you speak. Ever think last of self be not boastful
 or proud, Fear scandal and gossip, let your talk
 be not loud. Greet with equal politeness the high and
 the low, Have a heart full of kindness, a soul
 pure as snow. Injure none by look, or a word or a Join not those that are evil; far better
 alone. Keep promise and counsel, let your word
 be your bond, Leave lying to slaves, of yourself be not
 fond. Move gently; be modest in action and
 dress; Never swear, never mock at anothers
 distress. ONer-ureSslng aVolu, put at IaSnlOn dOn [
 sheer, Pay due tribute to usage, but bend not to
 fear Quit all that is harmful to self or to
 others, Remember this world is a wide band of
 brothers! Shun the fool and the ruffan; the flop
 and the boor, Take pleasure in helping the weak and
 the poor. Use good language or none all coarse-
 ness avoid, Vulgarity's sinful or with sin aloyed. Wax ever in virtue, in grace and good
 will, Xcelling in good and decreasing in i'll. Wonder sun be thy guidance in every
 thing bright, Zero marking thy standing in all that's
 not right

 FIRED M. WARNER. Governor
 Mayors Proclamation.
 Mayor William B. Thompson, in his proclamation to the people of the city of Detroit, says:
 ''The northern part of the state of Mich igan is being swept by forest fires appal- ling In their magnitude. Scores of lives have already been lost, thousands have been rendered homeless, the loss of prop erty is beyond estimation and the end Is not yet come.
 "The condition of the survivors Is pitt ful in the extreme. They have been stripped of all their worldly possessions and the northern winter is ready to sweep down upon them. They need money, they need clothes. they need food. they need shelter.
 That we may systematically arrange for the relief of the stricken districts I call upon all citizens to meet with me in the executive office on Monday, the 18th inst, at 12 o'clock noon, in order to dis cuss in what form our relief shall be, and in order to select proper committees to accept contributions"

Royal Superstitions.

From Tit Bits.
 It is only the ignorant and unlearned who are superstitious but even such practical person as the German Emperor Is apparently without certain amount of superstition He has always been careful that the ancestral cradle of the Hohenzollerns should be used for each infant member of his family in suc- cession.
 This cradle is over two centuries old, and is of curiously carved oak. It is supposed to protect the baby who sleeps in it from convulsions and other child ish ailments.
 Italy has also a remarkable supersti- tion It is believed that dire misfortune will befall the present monarch if the chamber of the dead king be interfered with till at least two generations have passed Therefore the room of the late King Humbert at the Quirinal Is shut, no one except members of the royal family being permitted to ent~' it. Thus 1t will remain. silent and unused like the apisrt- ment of King Victor Emanuel, King Humberts father, which is just as 1t was at the time of his death some 30 years ago.

Hallowe Zen Decorations.

Halloween, with it's quaint observ- ances and curious mysticisms, offers the hostess a great opportunity for original and fanciful decorations, not only for the table, but the walls of her home. and the harvest fruits and vegetables lend themselves most effectively to the occasion.
 Nothing is prettier for the walls or to hang in festoons from the chande- Hers than the pumpkin vines, which can now be purchased by the yard, though if one be ingenious enough they can also be manufactured at home by taking picture or other wire, wrapping with green tissue paper and attaching to it at intervals the blossoms, which are made of tissue paper, heart shaped, in three shades of orange color.
 In making the leaves two thicknesses of the paper is used and 0 fine wire pasted between them, the exposed DOT tion of the latter being afterward wound with green before being at tach ed to the main stem.
 Harvest grains also lend themselves peculiarly well to the situation, and sheaves of grain stacked up in the corners of the room are charming though these, too, in imitation of the natural products, can be purchased in paper.
 For the center of the table where refreshments are dispensed nothing is more effective than Jack Horner pie, the covering of paper being tinted to resemble the delicate brown of a faky crust such as mother knows how to make" Of course within are all sorts of favors suitable to the occasion, while long green runners from the center end in bright colored autumn leaf at each place, which, when drawn out, supplies the guests with the contents
