Fruits In Enrlsrd.

By far the greatest achievement of
Cardinal Nolsey was combining straw
berries and cream. A world benefac-
tor, his failings may well be forgotten
and forgiven!
How long have Britishers been, at
least, partial fruitarians? Apples,
pears, gooseberries and plums appear
to have been grown IN England for a
very long time, but cultivated rasp-
berries did not arrive until the six
teenth century.
RhubaTb was introduced from Rus
STA in 1873, but did not become pop
ular until the nineteenth century. It
is recorded that a Deptford gardener
in 1910 sent a few sticks to the Lop-
don market. but was unable to find a
customer
Cherries were brought over by the
Romans, but ceased to be cultivated
until one of Henry Wis gardeners re-
introduced them.

GENERAL LOVE OF PRAISE
Proper Form Is Not an In
stirct of Evil.

Love of praise is one Of the weak
nesses of mortals Some there be,
who If not praised by others, don't
hesitate to praise themselves. II
praised by others, they parade, with
no thought of the "delicacy OF praise,
what others say of them. Such deem
it legitimate to solicit the praise for
which they lust, knowing that there
are men in the world who are as
careless in attesting and magnifying
the assumed virtues of others as
many are in signing petitions, OF the
substance of which they take nc
thought.
This love of praise is confined TO
10 class of men. 1t is an incentive to
he poor man who works faithfully
Tor his daily bread; the average man
Of wealth is not deaf to praise, even
hough it may come from one OF his
nenials. This love of praise Is not
an instinct of evil, it may be just the
opposite if it is born of desire to
be thought well of by ones fellow
aen, or of a purpose to make oneseif
Gritty OF the confidence and esteem
i others, by treating others as one
would have them treat him.

How stinon Cheese is Made.

Etilton cheeses differ from ordinary
rheeses in the method of manufacture.
Each Stilton is made in d circular
mold, or vat, two feet deep and about
nine inches ip diameter, perforated at
the sides and bottom. When the milk

of curd covers the bottom OF the mold

more curd is added in layers until the

Marvel of SURGERY

Doctor Vannucci, the chief surgeon
Of the hospital at Pistoia Qtaly), has
accomplished a marvel of surgery,
says the London Mail He operated
on girl named Maria Tondini to re-
move a needle that had accidentally
been run into her body near her heart,
which in its action came into contact
with the point Of the needle. The sur
geon was holding the girls heart in
his hand when its pulsation-violent at
i1st-gradually ceased. ut is all over"
he exclaimed. but, as last hope he
started massaging the heart. Little
by little it's activity was stimulated,
and the operation was successfully fin
ished.

Kept Alive by Electricity.

The attention of surgeons at the
General hospital, Birmingham, Eng
land, has been occupied by the most
remarkable case of lad eleven years
of age. He was admitted to the insti
tuition suffering from tumor on the
brain, the removal of which necessj-
tated most serious operation.
While the surgeons were at work
the patient stopped breathing and arti
fetal respiration was resorted to. Dur
ing the course of the operation large
portion of the skull was removed, and
when the pressure from the brain was
Hghtened the lad began to breathe
again. An electric battery was ap
piled to the chest, and the muscles be-
ing thus affected the breathing motion
produced proved sufficient to keep the
lad alive.

FOR THE WIFE'S PROTECTION
French Laws Make Drawing UP OF
Ante-Nuptial Contract Matter
of Highest Importance.

r. an American girl marries
Frenchman, or vice versa, and they go
TO live in France, let there always %
m ante-nuptial contract. But let II
be remembered that If no contract mas
been signed the consorts, after they
have returned to France, will Ind
themselves under the community
regime. Every married couple is sup.
posed to make a marriage contract IN
France. and if they have not done so
the law gives them contract, which
is the legal community, Case and Com
ment says.
The legal community may be Hkened
to a partnership, but partnership OF
a special kind, in which the husband
is the sole manager and absolute mas
ter, and the wife has no voice In the
MANAGEMENT. Consequently the hus
band may dispose Of all community
property without any hinderance. BY
community property you must under
stand all personal property belonging
to the spouses before and after the
marriage. The husband has full and
untrammeled right to cash and squan-
der all interest and dividends, to draw
checks against the community funds.
to incumber or sell at pleasure all real
estate belonging to the community.
He is the lord and master.
Now, let US take it for granted that
the French husband is sterling char
acter, that he is possessed of high
business ability. But he may be I'M
successful in the management OF the
community. He may have debts, and
still be the best man on earth. Pre-
cisely in the case of debts or unsuc,
cessfui management, and because
there is no fraud, the creditors OF the
community will have the right to at
tach the community property, even il
1t belongs exclusively to the wife, thus
leaving her penniless.
Enough has been said, we believe, &c
demonstrate that it is a wise precau-
ton to carefully draw an ante-nuptial
contract, infinitely describing and re
citing what property belongs to the
wife, and it is not to be included in
the regime of the community.

Mans First Mines.

The first effort to equip man with
wings that he might fly through the
air, says the American Boy, seems to
have been made by Watson E. Quin.
by, Delaware inventor, who patented
lying machine many years ago. The
inventor used the bat as the model In
designing the wings. Previous flying
machines had been constructed, on the
balloon principle, but Quinby's appara-
tus consisted of wings u feet in di-
ameter and semi-circular in form. The
wings were attached to the limbs of
the person flying, and the motions
used were very similar to those used
in swimming. The wings refused to
work, however, and no one ever suo
ceeded in flying with their aid.

Mystery ST Fact.

Many frankly admit that they are
not very tactful who would not be SO
ready I. admit tnat they are very
selfish. But it has been said with
searching truthfulness that want OF
tact is at bottom selfishness, for self
thinks and acts only for ITSELF" No
one whose supreme purpose and In
terest In life is to live for others can
long be tactless. For tactlessness is
simply the failure to think sufficient
ly about others to enable US to touch
them in a helpful way, considerable
way, a sympathetic way. And the per
son who won't take the time and trou
BILE necessary to this thoughtfulness Is
selfish. and therefore tactless. The
next time we find that we have been
lacking in tact, let US ask ourselves
what particular piece Of selishness
caused the failure.-Sunday Nchool
