SEE THAT THE FRUIT IS RIPE
Bananas and Apples Especially Are
Unfit to Eat II They Have Least
Suspicion Of Greenness.

A fact OF special interest at this
time of year Is that some OF the COM
monest fruits contain starch instead
OF sugar until they have fully ripened.
Raw starch is very indigestible. which
explains the frequent necessity for
"green-apple medicine"
Most conspicuous in respect to their
starch content are bananas and ap-
pies. Reports from the National Bu-
reau Of Chemistry show that Baldwin
apples examined contained more than
4 per cent Of starch while green. less
than one-quarter Of 1 per cent when
ripe, and none at all when overripe.
The percentage Of sugar, on the other
hand, had increased more than four
times. showing that all the starch had
been converted into sugar during tho
ripening process. Bananas show simi-
lar changes as they ripen.
These facts teach us that only thor.
oughly ripe fruits are most suitable
for eating raw; that scarcely ripsAsd
apples and bananas, like gooseberriss
and currants, are best adapted to cook.
ing; and that all persons who eat raw
fruits should chew them thoroughly
on account Of the starch they are liza

RESCUE

Rasmus 8. Midget. of the Gull
Shoal station, started on his patrol
south, on horseback, at three in the
morning. He had to trust to his
morse for direction, for the darkness
of the night was impenetrable, and the
feeble glow of his lantern would have
revealed nothing but the violent wa
ter through which his animal strug-
gled, could he have kept 1t lit. But
as he made his slow progress enough
light filtered through the clouds to
let him discover boxes and barrels
and wreckage coming ashore He
knew that meant wreck somewhere
in the neighborhood. The question
"Where?" could be solved only by
pushing ahead.
1t was two miles farther on, after
an hour and half's struggle on the
part of his horse, that he finally
csught the sound Of voices, borne in
to him by the wind. He could see
nothing Of the wreck.
little later he managed to make
out the outline of the half of the hull
and saw some black dots moving on

London.-The interest of London
has no end, for after one has visited
all the regular tourist sights, the Abb
bey. the Parliament. the Tower, the
British Museum, the National Gal
lery and st. Pauls, there springs up
countless other places that one should
not miss seeing. 1t is such a vast
place that even the average London
er does not know London. He may
know Kensington, Putney and
Knightsbridge, and never have been
in Elephant of Castle, Wormwood-
scrubs or Whitechapel, or vice versa.
1t is Picadilly, Oxford, Circus, Trafal-
gar Square, The Strand, Fleet street
and Regent street that everybody
knows.
There are two distinct types of Lon
doners. First, the tall and lank Eng
lish gentleman who travels in the
subway and cabs, and wears gray
spats, high silk hat. a monocle and
carries cane; and, second, there is
the Londoner of the underworld
which comprises about 100000 peo-
pie. They are little, deformed, bent
creatures, toothless and dirty, who
creep out of the alleys and slums by
thousands and flood the fashionable
streets selling toys and flowers on
the sidewalk. They make quite a con-
trast to the flowers, the lovely, fra

around the corner one Of che worst

some of the richest men in the world,
such as the duke of Bedford and the

merely lease them for a period of
years from these rich lords.
And of the duke of Bedford's prize

Many former coffee drinkers who

mus Midget had to face alone an op-
portunity and a question, such as are
given to few men to solve.
Should he try to save those black
dots alone, and run the risk of losing
his life and all chance that they
might be saved? Or should he return
to the station, call ou the rest Of the
crew and do what would then be easy
with Lyle gun and breeches buoy
easy If the wind would let shot
carry?
The final outcome is proof enough
that it was no selfish fear of his own
life that caused him to hesitate-rath-
er was it nice balancing of possibil-
tiles. If he lost his own life in trying
to aid single-handed and alone. he lost
also all chance Of the life crews
