The order was issued to the
police TO see that all saloons were
closed on Sundays but that they

Good Watermelon Soup!
Does the Board. desire to in
struct the Marshal to violate his
oath of office and permit saloons
to remain open until II o'clock at
night? When the laWsays it is
HIS duty to see that they are
closed at 10 O'Clock?
Soup! Soup!! Soup!!!
"At their own risk" is this a
bunco gamer,
Everyone knows that there is
not q Saloon in town that has not
sold after 10 o'cloc sun,e time,
and each and everyone did it at

BEAUTY 500 Years AGO.

They have dug up an old
beauty book in Italy, pub
lished 500 years ago, which
laid down the following rules
of the game:
ITO be beautiful" says
the work, "the woman must
have the following three
white things: Skin, hands
and teeth; three black things
Eyes. eyelashes and eye
brows: three pink things:
Lips, gums and nails; three
long things. Life, hands
and hair; three short things:
Teeth, ears and tongue; three
wide things: Forehead,
shoulders and intelligence;
three narrow things: Waist,
mouth and ankles; three del
icate things: Fingers, lips
and mond; three round
things; Arm, leg and dowry.
Things haven't changed so
much in five centuries, have
they? Or, let us say, that
woman's beauty is immortal
and immutable.

What the Baby erabbed.

Samuel A. Thompson, secretary Of
the rivers and harbors congress, while
lecturing before the Fruit and Prod
uce Exchange told the following:
Among q certain people," he said,
'it used to be the custom to test the
future of baby by placing before him
a coin, Bible, a piece of cloth and
several other articles. The article
which the baby grabbed was supposed
to indicate his future calling. Thus If
he grabbed the Bible he would be
preacher, If the money he would be a
business man, If the cloth a tailor, etc.
"Once when a proud father was try
ing out this test the baby snatched the
Bible in one hand, the coin in the 9th
er, the piece of cloth in his teeth and
began to try to gather in all the rest
with his arms.

Uses Of the Apple.
So well known are the uses of the
apple that little need be said upon this
subject. No fruit known to the culti-
vator in the north temperate zone can
take the place of the apple as food
product. Many other fruits-indeed,
most cultivated fruits-rank as Iuxu-
ries, but the apple in most parts Of the
United States is one of the leading sta
pie products Of the farms
In its numerous varieties its season
OF maturity extends throughout the
year. No other fruit of the temperate
zone may thus be had in continuous
succession without resorting to artifi-
cial means Of preservation. 1t is pre-
eminently useful in the household econ
omy As a culinary fruit none excels
It. 1t graces the table in a greater va
