Get Your Share of Fruit.

A great many persons regard fruit
as a superiority or a luxury; but, ac-
cording to the New York state health
commissioner, fruit should be part of
our daily diet for several very good
reasons. Many fruits contain certain
salts of organic acids which have a
stimulating effect upon the kidneys,
and some others are decidedly laxa-
tive. Owing to their large content Of
water they are always cooling, and
any digestive difficulties which may be
encountered are generally due to eat
ing too much or too fast, or eating I'M
ripe or overripe fruit. Bananas have
a high food content and a low cost.
Fruit eating is good exercise for the
jaws and puts the teeth in good cendi-
ton.

Early Wood Carving.

Wood carving was common in very
early Egyptian sculpture. Some of the
most realistic statues of the ancient
empire were carved in wood, such as
the so-called "Sheikh-el-beled" and his
wife, and a number of others. Wood
was a convenient ground for polychro-
matte decoration; that is, treating the
carved figure with a thin coating of
plaster upon which the artist has
placed his colors. This was very pop
ular among Egyptian artists.
In Greece wood carving probably
was the earliest form of archaic sculp-
ture The late Greeks and Romans
used it comparatively little, but among
the most remarkable works Of early
Christian sculpture are the carved
wooden doors of Santa Sabina, Rome.

Myths Were Explanations of Nature

Myths Were Explanations of Nature.
Mythology grew up hundreds and
hundreds of years ago, when the ma
lions of the world were in their in
fancy, in answer to many questions
which men could not explain. There
were no works of astronomy to ex-
plain that the sunrise is not a real ris-
ing Of the sun, but is caused by the
turning Of the earth on its axis. There
was nothing to show that the coming
of winter after summer is a natural
effect of natural causes, and not the
work of some malignant power. There
were no works on geology to tell Of
the slow upbuilding of the world
through thousands and hundreds of
thousands of years. All these were
natural questions to the inquiring
minds of the primitive peoples, so they
made up answers and wove them into
some of the most beautiful stories and
fancies the world has ever known.

Got the TolI-keeper,s Goat.

A Dutchman riding a little cart
drawn by goat was stopped at the
bridge by the toll-keeper.
Il got to pay toll?" said Hans.
Yes; five cents to cross the
bridge"
After an argument he paid the toll
and went back again, only this time
he had the goat sitting in the cart and
he was drawing it himself Out came
the toll-keeper. Here, you know
you've got to pay five cents"
The Dutchman shook his head and
pointing to the goat, said, Don't talk
to me-ask the driver."-Boston Tran
