EAT APPLES,

“Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind, but shalt fear thy God; I am the Lord.” Mr. Jarvis, the new Senator from North Carolina, is the son of a Methodist preacher, and was born at Jarvisburg fifty-eight years ago. The preachers boys~dun’t _ atEgo to the d—l. Some go to Congress and reach the Presidential chair—Chester A. Arthur and Grover Cleveland being conspicuous examples. . The funeral t in convention at Indianap dis and passed resolutions oL regret that times were so hard that people could not afford to die and get buried in as good stylo as heretofre, greatly to the detriment of thgir annual profits. They, .will ..hardly get much sympathy from the, public at large. A little -G.4imiLlia-r ■ grrl==lias--been—-sprouting pop corn in her atomach with disastrous results to her digestion. Physicians' were greatly puzzled in diagnosing the case, but at last discovered that several grains of 7pdp ■’corn Ha f swallowed wad .? while the child was eating corn that was. not thoroughly popped. Some of th O' sprouts were two inches in length. A new era in ship building may.be Said to have been inaugurated May 12 at Dubuque, la., by the launching of the torpedo boat Ericsson. The Ericsson was built under the act of June-30. IS9O, at a cost of -f'113.000. The .vessel was . constructed under the supervision of Lieutenants Windsor and Bank so a. of the navy. 11 is cigar-shaped and formed of threp-sixteehths-inch steel plates. The dimensions of the boat are: Length, 150 feet; beam, 15.62 feet; depth. 10 feet 6 inches. The Ericsson will be tafeen-to tile- it'lap navy yard to receive machinery and armament. “It’s an ill wind that blows nobody good.” The insurance on the Brooklyn Tabernacle, destroyed by fire on the 13th. is sufficient to clear off the debt which has so long seriously’ interfered with the happiness, of pastor and people, and it is said there will be sufficient money left to buy a new site in a-less expensive location and.start a new church edifice. We hope no one will be mean enough to charge Dr, Talmage with setting fire to the building, as would be the case with almost any business man who could clear off his indebtedness in such a. .speedy... and easymanner. Ex-Senator Tabor is in luck again. Ten years ago he was worth $5,000,090, but one misfortune after another followed until he was practically bankrupt, though still retaining the Tabor Opera House and block at Denver, the property being heavily’ mortgaged. These mortgages were nearly due and the distinguished Senator and old-tirrft miner became desperate. He went to Mexico and set to work in the Jesus Maria mine, in which he managed to obtain an interest, as an overseer. The mine is now paying" 165,000 a month, and Mr. Tabor has secured the release of his valuable property from the money lenders and is again on the high road to fortune with a big F. The constantly’ increasing demand for maple flooring for modern residences, as well as for public buildings, seems likely to result in a sharp advance in the price of this class of lumber, and the entire Exhaustion of the supply is not an improbable result in the near future. This is an item of great interest and value to the fortunate owners of “sugar tree” woodland, of wh6m, happily, there are many in the grand old Hoosier Stat?. Probably no more remunerative investment could be made by this class of property holders than to simply hold what they have and plant as many more new trees as possible on all the vail able soil at their command. The old-time town of Porkopolis, anowadays known as Cincinnati, is said to be awakening from the lethargy of years. This slowness of the great city on the Ohio has been a theme for Chicago Cd grin at, but in reality the business of Cincinnati is huge, and her manufactories send their products even to the boastful burg on the lake side. Now the Cincinnati Board of Trade, without an? theatric?!!? whatever, has sent one of the ablest business men to South America, backed with ample capital, to establish agencies for the eale of Cincinnati goods at sixteen

J-.ilerent ports. Rio de Janeiro will bo th? h?:i 1 quarters d the venture, and’ merchandise will be mariufacture.d on the banks of the Ohic especially to meet the demands of. the Spanish-American trade. There 4s no foolishness about Ciaeianati, but her citizens have-jaUedkte-maS’--ter the s<-ien .-e of brag, bl uster and bloviating seif-adulation. Comte Charles Phillippe de QuiNcrg of the French ? diplomatic service, dismissed from the corps for . miscondaet, became desp >:ident and tried to reach the great beyond by the lau lanurn route at Paris, afterward -.shooting himself. Both attempts todie before his time failed, and in orJer to pass the time away "the Comte committed various acts of. fraud and forgery for which he has been locked up. The fallen nobleman had also tried to earn an honest living as a comm-er-clal.traveler, but was not successful. The Comte made a mistake ir not'eoming to New York in search df an heiress, who would doubtless have been only too glad to marry him for.the sake of his title, and distinguished name. A five-thousand pound safe that vvas being hoisted up an empty elevator shaft in the new Sheldon building on Nassau street, Nevi York, fell from the twelfth story because of a broken cog in the windlass. A large crowd in attendance, who ~Tnew~ it would~~drb’p”, were treated to a sensation. .. The safewas ruined and the building was ba lly damaged. Such accideiits are rare,’.but the contractors state that the.crowds who persist in gathering, in spite of danger signals, are al wavs to t!'Hnl-: thi\v have been mistreated when the safe is “safe'Ty-landed in the top stories o: a -modern-office building. Generally the.safes arc taken up with tackle or the outside of the buildings and ‘’shored” into a window, thus affording ample opportunity for the people to speculate on what would happen if the “old thing” let go.

Chemically the apple is composed of vegetable fiber, albumen, sugar, gum, .chlorophyl mallic acid, galjjc acid, lime and much water. Furthermore the German analy’stsvsay that the apple contains a larger percon tage of phosphorus than any othei fruit or vegetable. The phosphorus is—admirably adapted to renewing the essential matter of the brain and spinal cord. It is, perhaps, for th f same reason, rudely understood,that old Scandinavian traditions represent the apple as the food-of -the gods, who. when they felt themselves growing feeble and infirm, resorted to this fruit, renewing their powers of mind and body, apple are. of singular use for men of sedentary habits, whose livers are sluggish in action, those acids serving to eliminate from the body noxious matters, which, if retained, would make the brain heavy and dull, or bringabout jaundice dr skin eruptions and other allied troubles. Some such experience must have led to the custom of taking apple sauce with roast porlc, rich goose and other like dishes. The mallic acid of the ripe apples, either raw or cooked, will neutralize any excess of chalky matter engendered by eating too muck meat. It is also the fact that suet fruits as the apple, the p?ar and the plum, when taken ripe and without sugar, diminish acidity in the stomach rather than provoke it. Then vegetable sauces and juices are converted into -alkaline carbonates bv the chemical action of the stomaci juices, which tend to counteract acidity. <7
