Listen, dear girl. I've loved you

Well, you never were married be-

Oranges and lemons are not only
valuable by reason of their potash
salts, but especially for their citric
acid. A case of paralysis of the en-
tire right side is reported in medical
journal where the juice of oranges,
adopted as a regular diet, appeared
to perform wonders together with
chicken broth.
AS an aid of digestion-a really ma
terial aid-the pineapple stands alone
among the fruit. Its vegetable pepsin
neutralizes-or, perhaps. rather d.
gests-albuminous substances in the
stomach.
Fresh pineapple-or better still, the
fresh juice of one-placed in direct
contact with eggs, or gelatine, or milk,
will prove this fact conclusively by
producing bitter tasting dish.
In cases of catarrhal ailment of the
throat, and in it's downward connec-
ton the alimentary canal or tract,
pineapple cannot be overestimated
and it acts with equal force in ma
larial affections.
AS for the date and the plantain,
they contain sufficien nutriment to
sustain life. The salts and organic
acids in the apple tend to improve the

MONSTER OF THE DEEP SEA
Some Strange Living Creatures That
'nhablt the Dark Abysses Of
the Ocean.

The ocean water at depths of mile
or more is so dense, and its pressure
Is so great, that glass bottles forced
down into 1t are crushed to powder
and tubes of metal are twisted and
fiattened out of shape. Yet living
creatures inhabit these dense and
heavy depths. From the underworld
of the sea, where the pressure is two
and a half tons to the square inch,
the explorers dredges bring up curl
GUS fishes, with bodies constructed
with special reference to this environ
ment of weight.
Their bony and muscular systems
are not fully developed; the bones are
permeated with pores and assures.
The calcareous matter is at mini
mum, and the bones of the vertebrae
are Joined together so loosely that the
larger fishes often fall apart while
being lifted out of the water. The
muscles are all thin, and the connec-
tive tissue seem almost wanting Yet
these fishes are able to dart about
and capture their prey.
1t is another interesting fact that
no light penetrates these ocean
abysses-all below 1900 feet being
total darkness-and this necessitates
another adaptation of the deep-sea in
habitants. They carry lanterns.
Many of these deep-sea fish have spe-
cial organs upon their sides and
heads that are known to possess
luminous quality.
One of the largest of these deep
sea torch bearers is a fish six feet
long, with tail dorsal fin extending
nearly the entire length of the body.
Along the sides of the body is a
double row of luminous scales. One
of the most ferocious of these deep
sea forms has a mouth full of teeth |
that protrude In most formidable
manner. The fins are all tipped with
flaming spots, while along the dorsal
surface extends a row of spots that
appear like so many windows through
which light is shining.
The little fishes called Bombay
ducks" are luminous over their entire
surface, and when numbers are col
lected together they present an as
tonishing spectacle. Another species
has jaw SO arranged that it can
seize fish twice its size and easily
swallow them. Its stomach has the
elastic quality of india rubber. 1t
stretches to enormous proportions,
and appears like great transparent
balloon hanging under the fish, and
containing it's prey
The last expedition sent out by the
prince of Monaco brought to light
some remarkable forms. The dredge
OH Morocco brought up from a depth
OF one and half miles a fish that
appeared to be all head or mouth. 1t
was OF small size, and the length of
the mouth was about four-fifths Of the
entire body; so that II the body had

before the war at Lawrence, but this
one was blown down several years
ago.
The mill was built by Charles
Schwarz. He came from Holland. He
had been a miller in his native land
and when he came to Kansas to seek
his fortune on prairie farm he found
1t was many miles to a mill
Schwarz saw In this an opportunity
for he had been a miller in the old
country and the strong winds of Kan
sas reminded him of the ocean winds
that sweep across the bikes of Holland
and turn the mills dotted all over that
country, SO he conceived the idea of
making the bold, free winds of the
prairie pay toll by turning mill that
should grind the peoples grain.
But there was no machinery In this
country for such mill, so with great
care and pains, he drew ON paper
drafts of every wheel and cog and
lever and bolt, and taking them to Lin
coin, Neb., had the plans worked out
and the parts forged in the foundry
there.
And for nearly forty years the old
mill has been doing duty, working
when the wind blows, resting when
the calm comes; teaching its genial
master many lesson in patience, fur
nishing food for the public roundabout,
and competence for the man who
saw an opportunity and had the skill
and perseverance to accomplish what
was, in that day. really great under
taking.

DANGER IN MERE SOUNDS
French Actress Thought She Was
Being lnsuIted When Russian
Asked for Cloak.

A Russian who, although he has
been some time in Paris, knows little
or nothing of the French language,
has just been sentenced to a months
Imprisonment for having assaulted a
policeman. He had also been accused
of having insulted the agent of the
law, but he was acquitted on that
count after an explanation from his
counsel that the word which the po-
liceman regarded as Objectionable
was also a Russian word, and per-
fectly innocent.
By way of emphasizing his argu-
ment Maitre Longuet related an
amusing anecdote. A few months ago
a Partisan actress, who was perform
ing at st. Petersburg theater, was
invited to dejeuner by a grand duke.
On hearing furious exclamation,
followed by the noise of a couple of
slaps moment after her arrival he
rushed into the hall to see what was
going on.
What Is the matter?" he asked
Your servant is an impudent fellow
she replied; "he ran up to me when
l came in and called me horrid
names"
What did he say?" the grand duke
inquired, considerably puzzled Then
she repeated couple of words which
are dreadfully abusive in French. The
unlucky man had simply asked hel
for her cloak in his own tongue, and
the sounds were 80 very similar that
she imagined she was being insulted
and resented this in a spirited man
ner. The Judge was greatly amused
and the counsel gained his point.
