ruit Juices Arc of Value.

Fruit is recommended especially for
 the rheumatic, gouty, arteriosclerotic lprelininary period) and numerous other classes of invalids, for its con. tent of organic acids. Curiously enough, 1t appears to have value in chronic diarrhoea and even irritable stomach, although it would seem to be contraindicated. "Where there is danger of dehuency disease, as in the case oe bottle fed infants, sailors, etc., the value of fruit juices is also well- known. Hence certain classes of sub jects profit by being fruitarians to a considerable extent, but exclusive frultarianism is chimera for many reasons.

Army EauIes of Napoleon.

Before Napoleon's time 1t had been the custom eor armies to carry huge' unwieldy flags mounted on poles which, while they afforded 8 rallyin2 point for their corps, also drew the en- emy's fire. Napoleon revived the an- clent symbol of the Caesars. The Ma poleonic eagle itself was 8 inches in height and inches across the wings. It stood on brass block 8 inches square and weighed three and hall pounds. Modern colors, cumbersome as they are, are as nothing compared to the old ones, which were as ditti' cult to hide as the big drum.
