Wife Wins, az Usual.

"Of course, one can never win an
argument with ones wife," remarked
broker the other day. Even II one
Is perfectly right in his contention,
the fates, or the postoffice department
or something else will turn up to
make 1t appear that the man is wrong.
For instance, a few days ago my wife
remarked that letter In a plain en-
vo!ope dropped in letter box would
be delivered even II 1t had no stamp.
OF course ! knew better, and told her
so, but she was obstinate. Just to
prove my contention when I was at
the Office the next day l drew a pic
turo Of goose on q sheet Of paper.
Underneath the likeness ~ wrote:
Dear Madam: II you pay two cents
to get this you are goose I put
the sheet in a plain envelope and ad-
dressed It TO my wife. The next
morning the doorbell rang furiousiy
while l was still in bed. l waited for
the wife or the maid to respond, but
both had gone out. Finally went to
the door myself There was fool
letter carrier with that crazy letter,
and had to dig down and pay the
two cents postage due. II had given
the letter to my wife she would have
been still more firmly convinced that
she was right"

DEADLY EXTERIOR OF FRUITS
Made as GermIess as steriIized Water
by Simple Process Of WASH
ing Off Bacteria.

Professor Metchnikoff has had SO
much to say in recent years about the
enormous proportion of diseases that
are acquired by taking bacteria into
the system on raw fruit that certain
class of people afflicted with the mod
ern mania which may be called germt-
phobia will be interested in the find
ings Of Drs. Fillasier and Sartory, who
assert that little common washing
will render the deadly exterior OF all
fruits as germless as sterilized water.
These men are members of the
French Academy of Sciences, and be-
coming interested in the charges
brought against raw fruit they recent
ly set about the experiments OF
simple character which proved the
complete efficacy of cold water as a
germ chaser. They placed few
grapes in a little water and found from
10000 to several million germs in a
cubic centimeter in the water. A
second washing produced few thou
sand of the Metchnikoff terrors, and
at the end of fourth rinsing scarce
ly any germs could be found in the
water used.
The interesting part of this work
was that with each washing a con-
slant decrease of germs was noted
80 per cent. being eliminated each
time the process was repeated. In ad-
dition to demonstrating how simple 1t
is to ward of all danger from germs
on fruit the Frenchman asserts that
not half the specimens which do md
habitation on fruit are harmful.

Piled that he had taken out his pa

The officer to whom this statement
was made was extremely thoughtful
for a moment. Then he added:
Can you remember who was the
Republican candidate for president
that year?
Sure, l don't remember who was
running for prisidint," was tho re-
Spouse. but It was the same year

.TOu haoV. how pppoGttsS are at
trAeted," said Mr.. ShortinGton.
When ! was younger man my
very particular friend and chum was
q chap who was six feet four. while
I wasn't much more than four feet
ak. Despite the disparity in our d.
mensions we were the closest of
friends, and as far as l was concern
ed there was only one thing that
marred my otherwise complete happi-
ness and that was that l could not
be as tall as he. But the time came
when l thought differently about that,
and when in fact, he, instead OF be-
ing proud Of his altitude, wished only
that he had been built on my more
limited scale, and that was when in
our later life We had both come to
be afflicted with rheumatism.
Then when looked at him, racked
with pain throughout his tall frame,
was glad that | was not tall but
short; and when he reflected on the
nearly two feet more OF space in him
self that the rheumatism had to roam
over he used to groan and wish that
he had been built short like me.
isn't it singular how things come
about? The things that at one time
We may most bemoan may prove in
the end our greatest blessing"

: In France much attention is given
to the propagating Of the chestnut,
and the fruit is spoken of with enthu'
siasm and respect. In French litera.
ture, especially in stories for children,
the chestnut tree is quite as impor-
tant feature as the plum tree in the
politics of this country, where we
speak lightly of the chestnut and
then pay at the rate of S. a bushel
for them. The small French chestnut
is called the "chataigne,' but the
large or giant chestnut is the mar
ron" The marion is cultivated ex-
tensivelY in France and Italy,. where
it is used in large quantities.
Every soda fountain MENU" says
the New York Soda Fountain, trade
journal, has some reference to mar
rons, and marrons glace are a favor
tie after-dinner morsel at all the larg.
er hotels, yet few persons realize that
while primarily dessert delicacy,
marrons are an exceedingly whole
some and valuable food. It is not
generally known that the fruit of the
chestnut tree Is nearly as valuable
as bread and more valuable than po-
tatoes as food, being rich in starch
and fat"
In some districts Of Pennsylvania
much attention is now given to the
planting Of chestnut trees. There are
several hill counties in Indiana, like
Brown, Monroe and Morgan, where
the marion and the smaller sized
chestnutS could be made q source Of
