, rF,llt Dial . 4 strange prejndioe exist against the o( fruita a& article of diet, while it entertaiDei without ft doubt by medi cal men. aW?all b have studiod the ubjeet thafripe' fruits are among the post healthful articlea with which the Uble can be supplied. Thoy are na tive's most reliable remedios, toning and invigorating -the system, and supplying Jhe niihl acids at a time when most re- (ivecn "fruits are to be discarded as most unhealthfnl and even poisonous. They usually abound in tannic acid; and stomach is unable to iKgost them. It jT ( lamentable fact that cities are neces sarily snppliod , with imperfectly ripe fruit the producers being obliged to Lther groenin order to have it roach rket in good condition. On the other hand fruit may become too lit1'. ond decay oommence, when it is again i urmful. Hous lives think imperfect fruit itber green ' or over-rii)e is good enow; i to cook; but herein thoy are mis taken; while green currants, gooseber ries, apples, etc., made palutablo with gti''lr, aro an. abomination, half-cV'-iyed peaches and apples, even if the ltittved portion is carefully removed are qun'lly so. Only fruit which is sound, should be used fresh or cooked. In cases of sickness there is nothing so agreeable as the juicy grape or the luscious peach and apple; , and if the systom has not .been poisoned with drugs no food is bettor. It should, however, be borne in mind that half the trouble from fruit-eating oomes fronl eating it between meals. It should be taken at meal-time; but a great proportion, ia. eaten at a time when it should cot 1 be. . Children are fruit starved until they have an opportunity, and then eat too much, and iu ail cases the fruit receives the blame. Nature has provided a constant suc cession of berries and fruits strawber ries, raspberries, blackberries, peaches, apples, pears and by canning, the sup ply can be kopt good throughout the year. Do not let the children get so starved that they will eat unripe apples and steal .them at that! If they have nico berries, they will nevor seek the ap-plo-tree for bitter, pnekery fruit. The varieties are all necessary. Many, like the blackberry and raspberry are astringent; and these come at a season when the summer heat requires such a corrective; the apple, which is essentially the iruit of winter, has an opposite qual ity. We may easily choose, and thus avoid the use of drugs, which should be only a last resort. In sickness cooked fruits are probably preferable, asbeing more easily digested. Baked sweet apples, alone, with 01 earn, or bread and milk, make a dish not only at the proverb says, good enough for a king, but a great deal too good. The grape and strawberry lose by cooking, and all fruits lose aroma and flavor which no syrup can restore or improve Do not bo afraid of fruits they contain acids, mineral salts, and nutritivo ele ments mingled iu just the right propor tions; and when properly ripened, and partaken of in proper quantity, are the most healthful articles of diet either for the siok or well. Sis Thousand Years Old. The Ashmolean Museum, at Oxford, contains one of the oldest monuments of civilization in the world, if, indeed, it is not the very oldest. This is the lintel stone of a tomb which formed the last resting place of an officer who lived in the time of King Sont, of the second dvnasty, whoso date is placed by M. liaiietto more than six thousand years agoi.The stone is covered with that deli cate and finished sculpture which distin guished the early periods of Egyptian history, and was immeasurably superior to the stiff and conventional art of the latter ages of Egypt which we are accus tomed to see in our European museums. But it is also covered with something more precious still than sculpture, witb hieroglyphics which show that even at that remoto period Egyptian writing was a complete and finish ed art, with long age3 of previous development lying behind it. The hieroglyphic characters are already used, not ouly pictorially and ideograph ical! v; but also to express syllables and alphabetio letters, the name of the king, for instance, being spoiled alphabetically. In the hands of the Egyptjun scribes, liAurovA VfTnti'nn writinor never made any further progress. With the fall of what is called the uuii-mpire (nuuuiu. C. KftMUhA frfishnnss and expansive force of the poople passed away. Egyptian life and thought became fossilized, and through the long series of centuries that followed Egypt resembled one of its own mummies, faithfully preserving the form and features of a past ago, and of a life which had ceased to beat in its veins. Until the introduction of Christianity the only, change undergone by Egyptian trin finrr was lm invfintion of a running hand, which in its earlier and simplier form is called hieratio and in its later form domotic.

"Uawkeje" Burdette's Antttora. It is great pity that anybody has to do anything between June and Septem ber. How much happier were out an cestors than ourselves. Why, I was telling my son this morning about his ancestors, and I just envied them. hen they awoke at sunrise, tbey lust kicked off the bearskin, dipod them selves into the creek, if there was a creek bandy, and didn t if there wasn t, hung a wolfskin over their shoulders, and they were dressed for the day. This was long ago, because we come of a very oid family. Our family records show that our direct ancestors had the handsomest cavo in thoir rango of mountains, and a stranger couldn't get up in the night for a drink of water without falling over a skull. And they never had to do a stroke of work. All day long the gentlemen hunted, not so much for sport as for meat. And the Indies stayed at Home and talked gossip and chewed wolfskin to niako them soft and pliable for chil dren's winter clothing. A man didn't go roaring and swearing around his room in the morning, in those good old days, itli las eyes full of soap, groping lor the towel. There was no such thing as soap and they had no rise for towels. Ana they never worried about salaries and tho price of commodities. Wheu they wanted anything they stole it, and whon they conldut steal it, in a sublime spirit of contentment, they went without it. And politics never worried them, either. Tho man with the biggest club and longest arm President by a unanimous vote every time, and tho man who objected to the election was promptly sold to the Ohio medical students in the interest of science. Thoso weru the days when a man could run for President on his shape. They were good men, these ancestors of mino, in their day. I am not ashamed of them, because I have no reason for thinking they were ashamed of me, and it they can stand it I can. Thoy were more roliablo than I am. They prayed oftener and made more noise about it, and they had more goiis than thev had words in their language. Col. Ingersoll's raid would have bank rupted them. They fought a little, stole some, and lied a great deal, and swore every time they thought of it, but they never played croquet, and wore proof against the vanity of roller skates. There were some good things about them, after all. Tho best thing I know about them is their distance, their remote antiquity. I revere the rare good sense which prompted them to live and got through with it and die, and three or four thousand years before their mora fastidious descendants wanted the stage for their brief hour.

The cheapest way to visit is to go to a hotel or board ing house, and pay on equivalent for what one receives.

Dr. Blank, a vory celebrated physi cian and surgeon in Berlin, was also known as being a groat epicurean. He once very successfully treatod a wealthy man whose caso had "been given up by other doctors. The family of the recov ered patient, knowing the doctor's love of eating, invited him to a grand dinnor, as the best means that could be found of expressing gratitude. All went merrily until, near the close of the dinner, a guest asked Dr. Blank if he had been acquainted with the distin guished Profossor M. "H-ni-m!" he replied. The questioner, taking this as a sign of affirmation, continued: "How is it with the old gentleman?" "Is dead," lacouioally said the doctor. "Dead? Great heavens, and I lmvo heard nothing of it? How is his wife?" "Also dead!" "Also dead? Gracious! And what has booomo of his daughter Dora, who lived at home?" "Also dead."

TTkr Suow at Grist Altlludei does uut , . . Melt. Mr. James Croll, the author of "Cli mate and Time," gives in Nature his views as to the influence of aqueous vapor on the melting point of snow. He vs: Tho reason why snow at great eleva tion does not molt but remain perma nent, is owing to tho fact that the heat recoivod from the inn is thrown off into spaco so rapidly by radiation and reflect ion that the sun fails to raise the tem perature of tho snow to the molting poiut; tho snow evaporates, but it does not melt. Tho summit of the Himalayas for exaiuplo, must roeoive more than ten times the amount of heat necessary to melt all tho suow that falls on them, notwithstanding which, the suow is not tuoltod. And in spite of tho strength of the sun and tho dryness of the air at thoHe altitudes, evaporation is insufficient to remove the snow. At low elevations, where the snowfall is probably greater and the amount of boat even loss than at tho summits, the snow molts and dis appears. This, I beliovo, we must attribute to the influence of aqnoous vapor. At high elevations the air is dry aud allows tho heat radiatod from the snow to pass into space; but at low elevations a very considerable amount of heat radiated from the snow is absorbed in passing through tho atmosphere. A considerable portion of tho hoatthus absorbed by the vapor is radiated back on tne snow, but tho heat thus radiated being of the same quality as that which tho snow itself radiates, is oA this account absorbed by the suow. Little or uono is reflected like that received from the sun. Tho consequence is that tho heat thus absorbod accumulates iu the snow till molting takes placo. Were the amount of aqueous vapor possessed by the atmosphore sufficiently diminished Jierpotual snow would cover our globo lown to the seashore. It is true that the air is warmer at tho lower level than at tho higher level, aud by contact with tho snow must tend to molt it moro at tho former than at the latter position. But we must romombor that the air is warmer ... ......... . I mainly in consequence of tho influence of aqueous vapor, ana mat were uie quantity of vapor reducod to the amount iu ouestion. the difference of temperature at tho two positions would not ue great .
