WHY ALL THIS

Uncle Joe Says the Payne
 Tariff Is ., K.

Joseph G. Cannon in a speech before the Middlesex Republican club in Bos- ton gave his views on the tariff, the nigh cost of living, the new rules com m1ttee and the old political coalition that was formed against President Grant.
 Although Uncle Joe was talking of insurgency in the years gone by, 1t was perfectly apparent that he intend ed that his pointed remarks should be applied to conditions confronting the Republican party in and out of con- gross today.
 "Virile manhood" said Uncle Joe, 'does not form coalitions of radicalism and liberalism, of vitriol and soothing sirup, of Republicanism and Democ- racy.
 'Men may change their political con- victions, but they will not attempt to yoke up protection and free trade, sound money and and fiat money or sacrifice all principles of political gov ernment for mere temporary victory and the occupation of office or for pet ty revenge.
 "Such coalitions have failed ever and should fail always. There Is no politi- cal purgatory, no halfway house be- tween political integrity and benevo- lent pretense. Any attempt of that kind is set down as demagoguery.
 ''The noise made by small but loud minority in the wrong is too often mis- taken for the voice of the people and the voice of God"

Priestly was preparing his work en- titled "Harm0ny ot the Gospels" he had taken great pains to inform him. self on subject which had been nn- der discussion relative to the Jewish Passover. He wrote out the result of his researches and laid the paper away. His attention and time being taken with something else. sOtne little time elapsed before the subject occur red to his mind again. Then the saine time and pains weie given to the sub- ject that had been given to it before. and the results were again put on pa- per and laid aside. So completely had he forgotten that he had copied the same paragraphs and reflections before that it was only when he had found the papers on which he had transcrib- ed them that it was recalled to his rec ollection. This same author had fre- quently read his own published writ ings and did not recognize them.

EAi APPLE.

What You Take Into Your System
 With the Fruit.
 Do you know what you're eating?" said the doctor to the girl.
 'An apple, of course"
 "You are eating.'' said the doctor, "albumen, sugar. gum. malic acid. gal lie acid. fiber. water and phosphorus.
 ''l hope those things are good. They sound alarming"
 Nothing could be better. You ate. l observed. rather too much meat at din- ner. The malic acid ot apples neutral izes the excess ot chalky matter caus- ed by too much meat and thereby helps to keep you young. Apples are good for your complexion. Their acids drive out the noxlous matters which cause skin eruptlons. They are good for your brain. which those same nox- ious matters if retained render slug gish. Moreover, the acids of the apple diminish the acidity ot the stomach that comes with some forms of lndi- gestion. The phosphorus. of which ap pies contain a larger percentage than any other fruit or vegetable. renews the essential nervous matter of the brain and spinal column. Oh, the an- cients were not wrong when they es- teemed the apple the food of the gods the magic renewer of youth to which the gods resorted when they felt them selves growing old and feeble.
