FRUITS

Fruits are natures laxatives.
By judicious use of them healthy
persons can get along year in and
year out without resorting to the
use of pills or purgative waters.
q Dates, contrary to popular be-
lief, are the most laxative of fruits
in common use as food. Prunes
come next, perhaps, and then figs.
Raisins are more laxative than
apples or peaches.
In long standing cases of
chronic constipation, use 2 large
glasses of Geld water upon aris-
ing and retiring daily; this acts
as flush and clears the digestive
tract thoroughly.
Exercise the belly muscles by
bending forward and sideways
and deep breathing, this tones the
fiaccid muscles up and helps to
overcome constipation,
Adhere to this rule daily and a
great deal of your constipation
troubles will vanish.

WHERE GREEN TURTLES NEST.

Among the "keyes" of Florida one
may occasionally detect little mounds
of sand on the beach-sure indica-
tions OF the nest of the green turtle,
says writer in the Wide World. This
creature, by means of it's fiippers, digs
pit in the sands from Is to 20 inches
deep and few feet above high-water
mark In this hole the mother turtle
buries herself for two days. When
she emerges she has invariably left
behind nest Of eggs, which vary in
number from 80 to as many as 200.
She then fills in the hole and leaves
The Matching to the heat of the sun.
An interesting fact about these eggs
is that the shells are quite soft The
period of incubation is about 60 days,
and as soon as they break out OF
their prison the young turtles imme-
diately make for the water. UnfOrtu-
nately, they have many enemies-rats,
birds and crabs steal the eggs. while
as soon as the baby turtles reach the
water they are liable to be devoured
by the larger fish Indeed, If all the
eggs laid by these creatures were
Matched and the turtles attained to an
average size, they would soon be al
most as plentiful as cod

FESTIVAL OF ROSES.

Novel political ideas are not the

there as we'll They grow roses as
nobody elsewhere seems to grow
them Once a year Portland stops
work for a few days and goes in for
a debauch of roses The city is Law
ishly decorated with every variety OF
the loveliest of flowers Clusters OF
blossoms festoon the streets. Great
bouquets bloom on every balcony
Crimson ramblers climb even the roofs
of houses Every horse and carriage
and automobile in the city is decked
with roses, buried in roses, and filled
with laughing girls in rose-hung gowns
and rose gardens Of hats, with bloom
ing parasols Tallyhos and floats hid
den beneath great floral superstruc-
lures move in parades. Human rose
buds dance around wreathed May
poles in the parks. The very trolley
cars are swathed in opuient bloom,
and girls from within pelt pedestrians
with dewy blossoms, till the streets
are carpeted, and all the air perfumed.

RIDDLE OF A SMILE.

How far the picture (the stolen
"Gioconda') is likeness and how far
it represents the painters conception
of womanly beauty is question
which must necessarily remain unan-
swered. It's wonderful spell all who
have gazed upon it must acknowledge.
What the mystery of the spell is is
the secret of him who cast it. Vasart
tells us that the lady was exceeding
ly beautiful, and that while Leonardo
was painting her he had someone al
ways by her to sing or to play or to
amuse her, so that her portrait might
not be melancholy, as were those OF
too many other painters. The smile
which has bewitched generations is on
her lips. but who shall say that 1t ts
free from melancholy? Artists and
critics and poets have read endless
meanings into that wonderful face
since it took form upon the canvas,
four hundred years ago, but none can
say with assurance that he has solved
the riddle None can solve it until he
understands and assimilates perhaps
the most profound, as it was the most
comprehensive and the most subtle.

DON'T LIKE THE ODOR.

An elephant that had escaped from
a circus while showing in Kentucky
town, and was running away through
the country pursued by crowd of
men, suddenly ran across a skunk
while crashing through a rail fence.
Either the appearance of the animal
or its odor, which it supplied literally
tor the occasion, frightened the ele.
phant until it lost all desire to escape,
and seemed inclined to seek the pro-
lection of it's keepers; at any rate it
backed up against tree and trump
eted shrilly, and when the pursuers
appeared it submitted to capture
without protest The elephant was
then chained to the tree and sprayed
with carbolic acid and other disinfect-
ants for two days before the circus
people would allow it to join the
show.

REMARKABLE TREE.

There grows on Vashion island In
Puget sound, one OF the most remark
able trees in the world inside of it
twercy adult persons have found room
to gather at one time, and, comfort
ably seated, eating their luncheon,
which they spread around the won
derful living spring that bubbles up
continually in the center Probably
there is no other such growth in ma
ture. This spring tree is the Mecca
for the summer school Chautauquans
of the local organization The timber
of that section is generally large and
fine.
The circle inside, on the ground, is
eighteen feet in diameter, and the tree
is hollow, having been burned off at
the top, the bark scorched and the
heart gutted by forest fire of many
years ago. This condition leaves what
is really trunk or stump standing
about twenty feet high and open at
the top, thus making the chamber very
light. One can see clear through the
tree. by reason OF the holes burnt
through by the fire.

ITALYs HISTORIC CROWN.

The historic iron crown OF Italy hae
played romantic role in the history
of the peninsula, declares a writer u
Harper's Weekly 1t was made in the
year 594 by the command, it is said,
of TheOdolinda, the widow OF Lom-
bard king, on the occasion OF her mar
riage to a Duke OF Turin.
The crown is OF iron overlatd with
gilt. It's significance was supposed to
lay in the fact that the weight OF
royalty could never be lightened by
it's splendid exterior.
For a long time the crown was in
the keeping OF the famous monastery
at Monza In TIA it was brought forth
to be placed upon the head OF Charlie
magne as King OF the Lombards.
and on later occasions it figured in
the triumphs of Frederic ~. and
Charles V. Finally, in the presence
of all the Representatives OF state. the
foreign ENJOYS and princes and otfi-
GERS, Napoleon BOnaparte sOlemnly
united it to the crown OF France.
The crown belongs to the state. and
the custodian of it is the legitimate
representative of the basilica OF Mon
"a The title of grand custodian,
however, pertains to the head OF the
Order of Cavaliers.

the powerful aid and influence given

ADVISED TO SIGN THE PLEDGE.

During the excessively hot weather
in Montana, a farmers daughter car
ried jug OF cool, spring water to the
field for the use of a farm hand who
was blowing in small valley She
placed it under a clump of bushes and
returned to the house. When the
hired man, who had spent several
hours in the village the night before,
in a drinking bout with some friends.
approached the jug of water. he dis
covered a large black snake coiled
around it, AS he stopped down to
take a drink the snake made no at
tempt to crawl away, but set up a
vigorous Kissing. The hired man
broke for the house for help. and
when he returned the snake was gone.
His theory is that the. snake coiled
itself around the jug in order to cool
off, but in spite OF his vigorous asser-
tions, he has not been able to con.
vince the family that be saw real

PREVENTS SHIPS ROLLING.

The German engineer, Frahm, has
devised a method of diminishing the
rolling OF ships, which is the principal
cause of seasickness. A water tank is
placed on each side of the vessel and
provided with any suitable device for
varying its effective cross-action and
the frictional resistance opposed to
the flow of water In this way the
oscillation of the mass of water from
side to side can be regulated, in period
and phase. so that it is opposed to
