I MERITS OF THE RAISIN.

It Has Great Nutritious As Well as BIO-

. . dicinal Properties.

As the grape cure has made its way
into modern methods of dealing with
disease—hundreds filling the German
establishments where this return to na-
ture is practiced—many a patient who
has found himself made over by the
treatment has added to it a use of the
dried grape or raisin. Fruit of all sorts
is becoming more and more apart of
the regular food supply, and a growing
constituency of people announce them-
selves as believers in a diet of fruit and
nuts. Leaving those extremists out of
the present question, it is certain that
health increases for whoever substitutes
fruit, both fresh and dried, for a large
part of the ordinary diet in daily use.
One of our best' literary workers has
found that a bunch of good raisins with
a slice of bread or a crisp cracker or two
makes a lunch that is not only satisfac-
tory, but leaves the brain clear for the
afternoon’s weiflr. Even in the days of
our forefathers the Muscatel raisins,
called so perhaps from the Musca grape,
brought by the Moors from their Afri-
can homes into Spain, were credited
with a special rccuperative force, and
known as “raysons of the sun.” They
were part of the equipage of a last ill-
ness. Saffron water and these “raysons
of the sun” were side by side on the
neat little table, which held also the
big Bible reserved for solemn occasions,
all three reminding the sufferer that he
or she had done with the ordinary fare
of mortal life.

But there need be no such somber as-
sociation with the raisin 'of today, our
own California providing at its best a
rich fruity raisin, sun dried, of course,
yet not so much dried as distilled, all
the watery parts being driven off and
the richer qualities of the grape devel-
0ped in nature’s own alembic. These
raisins, with whole wheat bread, make
a genuine food, good for child as well
as man and hailed by the children with
acclamation. The need for sugar—an
instinct with children—is met in raisins
or dates in infinitely more healthy fash-
ion than in any other order of sweet,
and the child who has full provision of
such fruits makesno demand for candy
or cake. .

The best California raisins are now
cheap enough to be within the means'of
all, and their use is steadily increasing.
A set of young lawyers in New York
have adopted fruit as a lunch, finding
that work can go on with none of the
sense of heaviness produced by the ordi-
nary meal, and raisins have been intro-
duced as one of the most satisfying
forms. —Philadelphia Press.

 

INDIAN Does.

They Have No Love For the White Man
and Show It.

Kickapoo Indians are very fond of
dogs, both alive and fricaseed. Around
their tepees, or wickiups, or Queen
Annes,’ or whatever they call their
abodes, there are always half a dozen
wolfish dogs. An Indian dog hates a
white man as far as he can see him
and loves an Indian as far as he can
smell him, and that is saying a good
deal. 4 ’

When a white man driving through
the Kickapoo country sees a. dog by the
roadside, his natural impulse is to whis-
tle in a friendly way, for somehow in a
wilderness of prairie or forest a dog is
a comfortable sight.

But the instant you whistle to an In-
dian dog he turns his tail and is out of
sight quicker than if he had been kicked.
An Indian never whistles to his dog

. when he wants his beast to come to

him; he places his tongue against his
teeth and hisses.

The colored population of Oklahoma
have almost as many dogs as the Indi-
ans. , Those Who live in the blackjack
sand hills are dog rich. These dogs have
a deep rooted aversion for the white
man also. When an old colored cotton
planter comes to town, some of the dogs
are sure, to follow, and when the old
man walks up town the dog stays right
between his feet like a country dog un-
And whenever a white
man comes within snapping distance
the dog gets busy—Kansas City Star.

 

A Question of Wills.

The making of one’s will is hardly. to
be ranked among the pleasant duties of
life. “My will,” says Slender, “I nevJ
er made my will yet, I thank heaven. I

‘am not such a sickly creature, Igive

heaven praise.” So also Dame Quickly,
when considering Falstaif’s spiritual
concerns, hopes that’ “it isn’t time to
think of makinga will yet.” When
David Garrick ostentatiously displayed
to the great lexicographer his pictures,
china, rare books and furniture at
Hampton Court, the sage exclaimed,
“Ah, David, David, these are the
things that make a deathbed terrible I”

A story is told of a dying miser, by
whose bedside sat the lawyer, receiving
instructions for the preparation of his
last will and testament. “I give and
bequeath,” repeated the attorney aloud,
as be commenced to write the accus-
tomed formula, “No, no,” interrupted
the sick man, “'I will neither give nor
bqucath anything; I cannot do it.”
“Well, then,” suggested the man of
law, after a few moments’ considera—
tion, “suppose we say lend. ‘I lend un-
til the last day,’ ” “Yes, that will do

better,” assented the unwilling testator. .

iis'ns'Lv A BLUFF. " ’

It Might, Have Worked Had an. Explains.
“ , tion Been Made. .

Ex-Cc gressman O’Neill of Missouri,
who wa in the city for a week or ten
days rec ntly, has'a friend in Washing-
ton," a F' enchman’,‘ who has the happy
faculty of beguiling the hours in such
a pleasant manner that the Missourian
often gets to bed long after the chimes
of midnight have tolled the beginning
of another day. About 3 a. m. a few
nights ago it occurred to Mr. O’Neill
that natuie had some claims upon him
of paramcunt importance with those of
his French friend, and just for a blufi
he suddenly broke off the conversation,
which took place inthe lobby of the ho-
tel in which the retired statesman was
stopping, and said to the clerk in a loud
voice: 5 '

“Call me at 6 :30. I’ve got to take an
early train 1” "

The Frenchman excused himself hur-
riedly and departed, and with a heart
rejoicing in the success of his strata-
gem O’Neill sought his couch and pre-
pared to press it until the dinner bell
should su )mon him to his day’s task,
for he had,no intention of leaving for
several days to come. ‘

About 15'; minutes of 6 o’clock a vio-
lent rapping at his door aroused him
from the sWeetest part of his slumbers,
and a familiar voice in the corridor was
heard to ex laim:

“Pardonn z-moi, Meester
Eet’s nearlylseex o’clock”—

 

O’Neill.

“Hang ~ t!” exclaimed O’Neill,
. “what’s tha to me? Go away and let
me sleep.” '3 ' '

At this theL pounding at the door be-
came more violent than before.

“Bud you sad you wanded to geet 00p
to catch ze t-‘p-ain, and zo I haf coom to
wake you. Geet 00p, geet 00p, or you
will meez ze t-r-ain, ” and the pounding
continued.

It was no use to remonstrate. O’Neill’s
friend insisted on making him get up
and open the door. Then he explained
that he had heard him tell the clerk to
call him in time for the early train, but
as he had kept him up so late the night
befOre he feared that the clerk might
forget, and ac ordingly he had come to
the hotel to see that he did not over-
sleep himself. Q
., ‘.‘You plug; '~1twau,r'.;.mmmw
“Don’t you know that
I left that order just to get rid of you
because I wanted to go to bed to get
some sleep? Don’t you know it was all
a bluff ?” _

“Bloof?” exclaimed the Frenchman.
“Bloof, Meester O’Neill?”

“Yes, blufi',” repeated O’Neill.

“So! Why you not tell me zat?” de-
manded his friend, “and I woot not
haf come. ’ ’——Washington Post.

If the mind, that rules the body, ever
so far forgets itself as to trample on its ‘
slave, the slave is never generous
enough to forgive the injury, but will
rise and smite the oppressor.—Long
fellow.

 

A witty Frenchman said; “Only death
is an excuse for not keeping a dinner
engagement, and even then a polite man
would send the undertaker to apologize

for him.” '

How to Make a New Face.

Skin_removing for beautifying pur-
poses is having a great vogue among the
women who can afford it. , At : present
the price for making over the face of a
woman under 50 is $50. An older sub-
ject who is greatly wrinkled has to pay
$100. The operation confines one to her
room for five days and is somewhat
painful, butdnot unbearably so, as the
skin removing" paste contains cocaine to
numb the surfaceit rests upon. An odd
thing is that if you have your wrinkles
removed before you are really an old
woman they will come again as you ad-
vance to the .wrinklednge, but if you
have them removed after ‘ you are as
wrinkled as you are ever likely to be
they do not return. And a danger of
the operation, so far as its complete
success goes, is that you will move your
face while the paste is getting in its
deadly work. If you do, a wrinkle
forms and cannot be got rid of. Liter--
ally you mustbear the pain with an ab-
solutely placid countenance. Even a
grin, is detrimental. -— Philadelphia
Times.

Ancient Ropes.

While conducting a series of tests
with a 100 ton testing machine at the
Yorkshire college in England, which in-
cluded the testing of a steel wire rope,
Professor Goodman stated that Such
ropes were not a. mddern invention, and
that he had recently seen a bronze wire
repe one-half inch in diameter and from
20 to 30 feet long, which had been found
buried in the ruins of Pompeii, and
which must have been at least 1,900
years old—Philadelphia Ledger.

 

 

' Women who have a fancy for heavier.
perfumes than delicate toilet waters and
clean smelling colognes, and who affect
some special essence, are not always.
aware, perhaps, that few of the flowers
after which their favorite odors are
named play any part in contributing to
the rich fragrance. . '

WILD FLOWERS.

0h, beautiful blossoms, pure and sweet,
Agleam with dew from the country wayl.
To me, at work in a city street,
You bring fair visions of bygone days- '
Glad days. when I hid in a. mist of green
To watch spring’s delicate buds unfold.
And all the riches I cared to glean
Were daisy silver and buttercup gold.

’Tis true you come of a lowly race,

' N ursed by the sunshine, fed by the showers,

And yet you are heirs to a nameless grace
Which I fail to find in my hothouse flowers,

And. you breathe on me with your honeyed

lips,
Till in thought I stand on the wind swept
fells,
Where the brown bees hum o’er the femy dips,
Or ring faint peels on the heather bells.

I close my eyes on the crowded street,
I shut my ears to the city’s roar,

And am out in the open with flying feet—-
Off, Off to your emerald haunts once more!
But the harsh wheels grate on the stones be-

low, .
And a sparrow chirps at the murky pane,
And my bright dreams fade in an overflow
Of passionate longing and tender pain.
-—E. Matheson in Chambers’ Journal.

 

A STATELY OLD MANSION.

 

The Home of Sarah Orne J ewett, the No'v-
clist, at Berwick, Me.

I wonder if there is another such house

,in New England as the home of Sarah

Orne J ewett, says a writer in the Boston
Herald. I have seen many stately man—
sions that go back to the days before the
Revolution — one in particular where
General Gage was quartered in old Dan:
vers, a town which is linked by witch
threads to Berwick, and one with gam-
brel roof upon which a. good dame and
her cronies climbed to be out of reach of
husbandly authority while they drank
tea forbidden to patriots until the tax
was removed—but I have never seen a
living place at' once so modern and so
reminiscent of 1730 or dave younger
still. In its great rooms filled with old
mahogany and warmed by huge tiled
fireplaces it would be easy to forget that
the gundalows, with their high peaked
sails like great birds’ wings, do not yet
sail down the river from the landing
wharves in fleets‘of tens and twenties
to Portsmouth, with their loads of pine
planks and boards to be exchanged for
East Indian rum, tobacco and molasses
or for Russian iron, duck or cordage, or
for such priceless old glass and silver
and china as game fnouna' unknown pens
and new ‘p'éep out wonderingly upon
nineteenth century cushions and pic-
tures and bric-a-brac, from their deep-
set cupboards and shelves.

“1 found these things here,” Miss
Jewett says, “and I hope to leave them
when I go into the unknown.” If one
had one’s choice of ancestors, it would

'be impossible to pick out better than

those who chose the elaborate cornices,
all carved by hand with infinite pains,
and the high paneling of the parlors,
and the broad window sills, and the
flowered wall paper, still bright and
fresh, though of a pattern on which Ma-
rie Antoinette might have set the seal
of her approval when she fitted up the
little Trianon. '

Could Not Make Tibet.

Mr. Wilson relates an amusing story
of an officer who determined to enter
Chinese Tibet by stratagem. This ofli-
cer managed to cross the frontier at
night, and so escaped the frontier guard.
Next day, however, while he was jour-
neying deeper into Tibet the Tibetan
soldiers overtook him and informed him
that as the country was unsafe, because
of robbers, they would go with him in
order to protect him, to which arrange-
ment the traveler was compelled to
agree. In a few hours they came to a
river, which was crossed by a rope
The Tibetans passed over first,
in order to show that the bridge was
safe, and then the oflicer got into the
basket and was pulled along by the Tib-
etans. Suddenly, however, they ceased
pulling and left the Englishman hang-
ing in midair above the rushing torrent.

In vain the traveler shouted to the
Tibetans to pull. They merely smoked
and nodded their heads. The hours pas..-
ed, and still theofficer hung above the
torrent. At last the Tib tans agreed to
pull him back'if he worill promise to
leave Tibet immediately. This of
course he was compelled «to do and took
his departure from the forbidden land.

All Weathers Suited Dr. Johnson.

Dr. Johnson stoutly poohpoohed the
notion of the effect of weather on the
mind. “To temperance,” he wrote,
“every day is bright, and every hour is
propitious to diligence.” Johnson, how-
ever, was little given to analyze the in-
fluences of nature, or any other influ-
ences, upon himself. And it may well
be that this disposition on his part was
in the spirit of the stoics and in. defi-
ance of his own feelings, to which he
disdained to give way. It seemed‘to
him a sorry thing that “a. being en-

dowed with reason” should “resign his

powers to the influences of the air and
live in dependence on the weather and

the wind. ”—Temple Bar.
' Distinctions.

“Money makes a heap of diflerence in

.the world,” said the misanthrope.
', “Of course it does. Still, a inan can

I am with such limited means that I
‘ can’t be on speaking terms‘with even the
