The Forbidden Fruit.

The botanical curiosities of the is
land Of Ceylon are replete with varied
interest. One of them Is the forbid
den fruit" or Ewes apple tree" Its
native name is diwi kadura. kadura
signifying forbidden and diw I'll
gers" The flower of this extraordi-
nary production IS said to emit a fine
scent. The color of the fruit which
hangs from the branches In very pc
culiar and striking manner, Is very
beautiful, being orange on the outside
and deep crimson within. The fruit
itself presents the appearance of hay
ing had piece bitten out of 1t. This
circumstance, together with the fact
of It's being n deadly poison, led the
Mohammedans on their first discovery
of Ceylon, which they assigned as the
site of paradise, to represent 1t as the
forbidden fruit of the garden of Eden
for, although the finest and most
tempting in appearance Of any, 1t had
been impressed, such was their idea.

substance possessing such noXious

Humor In Advertising.

1t is agreed on all sides that as a rule
humorous advertisements are to be
avoided. business is business, and the
businesslilie ad. is the one that counts.
Nevertheless it is interesting to come
upon an odd amusing or out of the
ordinary specimcn-for instance, that
of the photographer who made a sp2-
cialty Of baby photographs. His adj
vertisement read:
Bring your dear little babies. If
they don't sit still won't get cross
| was Il baby once myself"
What is especially rare Is to find an
advertiser who will exhibit any candor
about the negative qualities of his
goods. 1t Is all the more refreshing,
then, to peruse the announcement of
an innkeeper in one of the smaller
states who was evidently burning with
4 desire to tell the exact truth about
his establishment:
Not the largest hotel In the town.
not newly furnished throughout, no
free bus to train. not the best grub the
market affords, but simply clean beds
and good food, % cents to sleep, -

DANGER In Eye Poultiees.

Do not poultice an eye in any cir
cumstances whatever. Binding a wet
application over an eye for several
hours must damage that eye, the as
sertions Of those processing to have
personal experience in this to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. The failure to
aggravate an existing trouble by bind
ing a moist application over an inaam-
ed eye, which application is supposed
to remain for an entire night, can only
be explained by the supposition that a
guardian angel has watched over that
misguided case and has displaced the
poultice before 1t had got in its fine
work. All oculists condemn the poul-
tice absolutely, in every shape and in
every form. Tea leaves, bread and
milk, raw oysters, scraped beef, scrap
ed raw turnip or raw potato and the
medley of other similar remedies popu-
larly recommended are one and all ca

Eccentric Count Bertrand.

Count Bertrand, who lived in Paris,
was a very eccentric man, and to one
of his eccentricities he ascribed his
long life. Once a year he would be-
take himself to bed and stay there for
three months. On these occasions he
would see no one but his servant, who
brought him his meals, and even him
he forbade to speak. Just before the
Germans began the siege of Paris the
count went to bed, and the servant,
true to his injunctions, said nothing of
the events going on around him. One
day the bread proved so bad the count
demanded an explanation, whereby, of
course, he learned that Paris was en-
compassed by the enemy. Sprlnging
out Of bed, the count paced the floor,
repeating, "What should a Bertrand
do under such circumstancesY Sud
denly he stopped, exclaiming, 1--WE
should go to bed" and to bed he went
and stayed there until the siege was
over.
