FRUIT AS A FOOD.
Only Figs, Dates and Maybe Bananas

Are Really Nutritious.
Fruit of all kinds. when mature and

preventive Of clogging Of the liver, kid
neys and skin and. last but not least
the brain.
1T is mistake. however" writes
W. Howard James, NJ. D., In Good
Health. ito look on fruit as a source Of
nourishment. 1t should not be taken
with that idea. 1t should be looked on
more as the lubricator which makes
the machinery work tremendously and
without destructive friction.
"Some fruits may certainly be rank
ed as food, such as figs. dates and per-
haps bananas. Those In the tropics.
who live largely on the banana. we are
told. develop considerable abdominal
distentiOn on account Of the quantity
taken. With the exception Of the date
and the ig. fruit should never be con-
sidered as q food. 5s-cas : -
1.-The taking Of fruit often does good
by lessening the amount Of food taken.
We are a generation Of dyspeptics on
account of excess of food, insufficient
oxidation and lack Of proper supply Of
fruit and pure water"

MUSICAL TRAINING.
Il Should Have q Place In the Eduea-
ton Of Every Child.

Il Should Have q Place In the Eduea.
ton Of Every Child.
We shall make no real progress In
music in this country. says Bruno
Huhn, until we come to consider q
training in the rudiments Of music as
an essential point In the education Of
our children.
Too often parents excuse their re-
missness on the ground that their chill
dren show no spontaneous desire to
study music. Because a child shows
no such desire to study reading, writ
ing and arithmetic do we for that rea-
son permit him to neglect totally these
subjects? No normal child desires to
study any subject. and failure on the
part of child to crave musical edu-
cation should not be permitted to ex-
crypt him from such training.
In my opinion the average child
should begin to study music at the age
of eight or nine and for at least two
years devote an hour day to the exer-
else Of it.
After two years the child's prefer
ence and aptitude may safely be con-
suited in regard to further study. But
in any event the two years Of study
have not been wasted, for he has al
ready learned something that will be
of use to him all his life.
Musical training, especially In the
home, should have place In the edu-
cation Of every child.-Exchange.

THE HINDU DAY OF LIGHT.
A Festival That Turns India Into .
Sort of Eairyland.

A Festival That Turns India Into
Sort Of FairyIand-
There is one day in the year which Is
celebrated as great festival by the
Hindus of India. and the natives are
even allowed to gamble upon this Oc-
casion. The great day is Devali-the
Day of Light-which is dedicated to
the Hindu god Ram in celebration OF
his coronation.
From sunset onward on this day the
native bazaars throughout India re-
semble fairyland. for outside the house
or shop of every true Hindu are placed
numerous little lamps Of a very primi-
tive construction. They consist merely
of small shallow, transparent bowls,
about the size Of a saltcellar. hued
with oil in which wick is foated.
The number of lamps varies with the
financial standing of the households.
the weather. natives displaying them
by the hundred. According to the ira
dition, he who displays the greatest
number of lights will become exceed
ingly rich, for on this night Lakshami.
the goddess Of wealth, is supposed to
wander abroad and enter wherever
there are sufficient lights to catch her
fancy.
Another method Of enticing the un-
suspecting goddess consists OF placing
in bowl filed with milk and rice a
cluster Of pretty flowers. The Hindu
believes that to present a friend with
flowers is to wish him or her happt-
ness; hence the Offering Of flowers to
Lakshami-Pearson' Weekly.

Widowed eird..

The married life of most birds could
be taken for model by members Of
the human family. For instance, the
staid. dignified and homely baldheaded
eagle never mates but once and lives
with his one mate until he or she dies.
If left a widower-even young Wild
ower-the baldheaded eagle never
mates again. He remains alone and
disconsolate In the nest of the rocky
crag or in the branches of tall pine
that formed his domicile while his
mate was alive. No other female eagle
can tempt him to forsake his desolate
life. With him once a widower, al
ways a widower. The golden wood
peckers live in happy married state.
mating but once. If the male dies his
mates grief is lasting. and she re-
mains a widowed bird the rest Of her
life.

INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS.
The Large and PuzzIing Part IMAM
Failure" Plays In Them.

Close observers are not astounded by
tbe statement made at a safety" meet
ing that 10 per cent only Of industrial
accidents are due to machine fallures'
the remaining 80 per cent being wholly
chargeable to imam failure"
Students, however, will not be salts
fed with the simple statement, but VIII
want to know something more, espe-
cially as to conditions that contribute to
this appallingly large percentage charg-
ed directly to mans share in the fault.
It will not do to say that in each In
stance wanton carelessness Is blame
able. Psychologists are no longer con-
tent with that explanation, but are go
ing deeper into the causation OF acci-
dents. seeking to determine just why
the normal mental processes at times
break and the interrupted coordination
between brain and body ends In disas-
ter.
In the matter of interpreting railway
signals, for example. 1t has been set up
that registered impressions vary as to
individuals and that likewise individ-
uals react in different ways to the I'M
pressions given.
Emergencies invariably arise In the
operations Of modern industry similar
to those in the transportation service,
and. while the safety device may work
with mechanical accuracy, the human
factor cannot be depended upon

An Architectural Gem.

Claude Perrault was one of the rare
geniuses who turned from the profess
sion Of medicine to that Of art. He
was born in 1913, being the brother
of Charles Perrault. the noted barrister,
through whose influence he became ar
chitect of the Louvre In Paris. The
colonnade of this building, which he
erected, is regarded as one Of the finest
creations of its kind OF the seventeenth
century.

Eor..t Destruction.

Fires and insects are the chief causes
of forest destruction, and the United
States bureau Of entomology finds these
harmful agencies curiously interrelat-
cd. Insect-killed sections Of forests
are the inf1ammable starting spots Of
fires. While on the other hand, fre
wounds on trees give ready opening
for boring insects. More timber OF mer-
charitable size is lost directly through
insects than through fires.

Thrift Maxims.

Nothing waste, nothing want
Thrift is an antidote against anxiety
for the future.
Thrift deals with the present day
and plans for the future days.
Thrift acquaints itself with true val
ues and keeps tab on expenditures.
Neither minute gains nor even small
losses are moderated by the thrifty.
To postpone to afternoon what
should be done in the morning Is
thriftlessness of management.

Goldfish Will Eat Anything.

Z The cod has the reputation of being
as Omniv0rous as the goat, whose ap-
petite for posters and old tin cans Is
the subject Of frequent jests. The va
ried nature Of what the cod swallows
Is not more remarkable than the enor-
nous quantity. According to writer
In the Scotsman, such articles as sill
yer brooches, clasp knives. books and
rubber balls have been found In its
stomach. One fisherman OF Aberdeen
has stone that weighs more than 9
pound taken from a cod that had swal-
lowed It for the sea anemones with
which It was covered. The same DISH
erman has also found specimens OF al
most all the stalk eyed crustaceans
that frequent the northeast coast OF
Scotland and Of every kind Of fish that
q cod can master. including its own
young. Cod have been known to swaI-
low cartridges. guillemots and hares.
