' We i^proach the nearest to m petfedk-glqr- â- icftl deyeloj^ent when we rely most apon thoM goods which aatore jKOwUm f«r ns. Certainly, in regard to frniti, there need be nothing added to nake them either more palatable or natritions. From the ripe, jnicy itrawberry in the spring, to the rosy peach and porple grape of the fall, we hsve A constant sacoe^aion of various kinds of fmits, which are among the most healthful of food snbstanoes. One of the most essential characteristics which make fruit so valuable during the hot tummer montiu is its lightness. If fruit is ripe, and eaten while fresh, there is nothing about it as far as composition is concerned, that will disagree or distorb the most delicate stomach. Of coarse this statement would not hold true if one had eaten too much, or at the same time eaten heartily of substances which are known to be of a very different class of chemical con- stituents. It is therefore important tiiat fruit should always be eaten alone, or at least as a dessert to one of the Ughtest meals. Too much stress cannot be lud upon the importance of procuring fruit in its proper and best condition. With do- mestic fmits this is more easily accomplish- ed than with foreign, or those oomiog long distances from the Sonth. Fruit onltore should be encouraged, and thus made more of a food than has been the custom in former years. It is in the interest of the house-wife to use fruit largely during hot weather. Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspbwries each in their turn, should be found upon our tables. These, with a few slices of bread and a glass of fresh milk, will make a most substantial and easily prepared meaL The chemistry of berries deaervis a pas- sing notice. One of the most important constituents of this varietyof fruit ia certain kinds of acids, nearly all of which are neces- sary to carry on the natural process of di- gestion, and which are not always supplied by the stomach and other digestive organs. The presence of these acids in tiie stomach has a stimulating effect which is of special importance at this season of the year, A dedciency of a proper amount of stimulant action of the liver will cause the condition commonly known as "biliousness." The acid contained in fruits is a much better correction of this affection than medicine. Another advantage to be derived from the use of fruits during the summer months is in their percentage of water. By their liberal use the bowels and pores of the skin are kept open, and thus they are better able to perform their natural functions than when dry and heat-producing suostances are used. We need the medicinal action of the pure fruit acids in our system, and also the cooling corrective influence of the watery portion which they contain. Preference should always be givan to the coft, juicy, stoneless kinds of fruits also the skin of certain fmits, if tough, should not be eaten. Fruit should largely be sub- stituted for pastry, certainly during that portion of the year when it can be obtained fresh and ripe. As a matter of expense also it is on the side of economy. But it is very foolish to buy decayed or partially unripe frnit because it can be obtained cheap. Fruit should also be eaten leisurely; never in a hurry, and it should be thorough- ly masticated before it is swallowed. As regards to cooking fruit before eating it, a word is in place. With many of our common fmits, ccoking destroys the acids which they, contain. This has a tendency to make them insipid, and consequently sugar must be added in order to make them palatable. Now if the fruit is ripe and in perfect con- dition there is enough acid and sugar in proper porportionso that cooking is unneces- sary. If additional sugar is desired it is sole- ly as a condiment, and not because it requires it. It is related of a distinguished physician that he once made the remark that "if h s patients would make it a rule to eat a couple of good oranges before brtakfast from Feb- ruary to June, his praotice would be gone." While such a statement can hardly be taken literally, yet there can be no doubt that the more general use of good ripe fruit in the early part of the day would be found bene- ficial, and often prevent many cases of illnets.

He opened the gate and held it back for the rider to peas. •• Thank you, my boy," said the farmer, one of the wealthy Middleeez grarien who own large tracts of the HarTowand Pinner rich meadow lands. "What may year name be?" " My name's Green," returned the boy, Witt an iU-thned burst of the imngiii- ation. ' 'And what is yonr father f ' "Oh, my father's a cheese-monger," said the â- mart scholar, diuckling internally at his ready wit, "and he lives in London in the Theobald's road, rather a small shop, two steps down out of the street." "I'm very much obliged to you," replied the farmer, by no means â€" as it afterwards ap- pearedâ€"a man of straw. " You're a cap- ital young chap. I shan't forget you." Don't!" was the scholar s final thrust " Remember Green, and a Cheesemonger in Theobald's road." And up the hill he went, ahnoet as much pleased with himself as if he had been asked to play against Eton at Lord's. What his feelings may have been when, 10 years later, a young gentleman of tiie name of Green was advertised for, whose father kept a cheesemonger's shop In the Theobald's road, and who, in return tor Politely opening a gate at Harrow in the year 183â€", was left a large legacy by the wealthy farmer, reosntiy deceasedâ€" what his feelings wen then none of his relatives oared to inqniro too -closely, but it was observed by all that from that hour the unhappy young man never lost an oppor- tunity of Insisting on the incaloulable bless- ings cf the most rigid adherence to truth; of the disasters invariably Incident to even a momentary deviation from which virtue he himself was a most marked and melan- choly example.

In reference to the influence of the ima- gination on the body a doctor tells the follow- ing story: "A big hulking fellow about ten miles from the town I was practicing in got the idea that he was going to die at just 11 o'clock in the forenoon of a certain day. About 9 o'clrck a messenger came to me. I hurried out. When I got there the crank had fifteen minutes to live, according to his calculations. He did look like a man on the verge of eternity. His eyes were dim and sunken, his face had that peculiar pallor which heralds the near approach of death, and his breathing was very labored. The family were gathered around and wet^p- ing as they took a final leave. Something had to be done quick. There was a smart- looking woman there, and I called her aside. Pointing to the clock (yi the mantlepiece, which the patient was watohing, I said 'When I have his attention, turn that ahead- Then I crowded into the family group, bustled them into the next room, sat down on the edge of the bed and began telling that fellow one of the most horrible murder stories you ever heard. I located it rigl* in town where he knew everybody, named the woman killed, went into blood-curdling details, and so completely interested the man that he forgot ius eleven o'clock ap- pointment. When I gave him a chance to 10i)k again it was twenty minutes to twelve, and he was actually mad for a time, claim- ing he iiad been tricked. He finally got to laughing, and we all toot dinner together. The next day he whipped two men at a barn-raising for twitting him about the pro- gramme I f death that miscarried. " A EEPE3ITAHT ATHEIST. Acknowledges His Error and Is Praised by the Pope. The Garilialdi branch of the anti-clerical league met in Paris for the purpose of expel- ling Joyaud, alias Taxil, the penitent free- thinker and atheist, who has recentiy recant- ed and published his return to the church. To the amazement of the meeting Taxil pre- sented himself before the assembly and made a defiant speech. He declared that his pub licatioo called "Amours of Pope Plus the Nlntii," and other similar pamphlets, were mere fictions. He denoimeed the league in vehement famgnage, and said that he accept- ed hk ezpnliion from that body with plea- rare.

An extraordinary instance of the depred- ation In tiie value of land in England u noted by tiie London World. In 1875 Pewit Island, near Harwich, containing 270 acres of freehold land, was bought at a cost of £7,900; and on July 16 |t was sold by auc- tion for £420, The burglar season has commenced In London with the approach of the annual ont-of-towning, and aU the suburban police have been ordered to arm themselves with revolvers. During tiie last few montha they have been taking lessons In the art ^»f bringing down burglars. A bottie sealed and corked and containing a check on a Newburyport bank for $141 16 was found In the suri at Coffin's Beach, Mass., one day last week. With the check, which was signed and dated Aug. 17, 1884, was a note, stating that the finder of the bottle might have ite contente. The flag of the Chicago Sodaliste Is red and black, signifying destraotion, and some of the devices carried In a recent procession were "Every Government is a Conspiracy Against the People," "The greatest Crime To-day is Poverty," "Down with the Throne, the Altar, and the Moneybag." In view of the fact that Dartmoor Prison, n England, offers profitable employment for convicta for years to come, many more are to be sent for. Meanwhile "that nnfoi tun- ate nobleman," the claimant, so long the principU and certainly the most ponderous figure there, has lapsed into complete obscur- ity. Vanity Fair^ alluding to the prevalent distress in England, says that at Newmark- et lately thirteen of Mr. Chaplin's yearlings only averaged 1,630 guineas each, and some of the more fashionably bred animals only 3,000 g iaeas apiece, one handsome filly being disposed of at the rate of but a guinea an ounce. Appalling, indeed The present population of the city of Buenos Ay res is estimated at 400,000. One of the local newspapers predicte that in a few years it will be the New York in a southern hemisphere. Emigrante are arriv- ing in a steady stream, and if the proportion of the first six months of the year is kept up, their number will be 150,000 before the 1st of Janrary next. Italians form the great majority of the incomers, Alaska, according to a newspaper corres- pondent, is a sort of fairy land in summer. The almost continuous 1 ght of day shines up- on bright green slopes, varied here and there by dark timber belts, rising up from the deep blue waters. An endless variety of bright- hued flowers, the hum of insects and melod- ious song of birds make the land seem almost a second Eden, but the intensity of the sun's heat dispels any hasty impiessions of this sort. Mr. G. A. Sala is known by his white waisteoat. "I have worn a white waisteoat," he says, "every day, winter and summer, for five and twenty years. Once, in Paris at a shop where I used to buy my gloves, a serving we man said to me You always wea a white waisteoat.' 'Yes I always wear one the year round.' 'All the year round ' she exclaimed. *A clean one every day V 'Yes,' I said. 'Oh,' she exclaimed, 'if I had only been your washerwoman ' " The Loudon £cAo draws attention to the difference between the peerage and the aris- tocracy, a differoice suggested by the recent creation of peers. It points to severvl un- titled magnates who are essentially mem- bers of the aristocraoy, and remarks, on the other hand, that such a man as Lord Calms, although a member of the peerage.
