Ilewure of Fruit Skins.
Fruit skins carry germs and are no
more intended for human sustenance
than potato skins, melon rinds or pea
pods. The bloom of the peach is a
luxuriant growth of microbes, that of
grnpo only less so, and when these
skins arc taken into the stomach they
find more favorable conditions for
their lively and rapid development,
which cause the decay of the fruit be¬
fore it is possible to digest it. This is
the reason many persons think they
cannot eat raw fruit. If they would
in all cases discard the skin they could
derive only good from the fruit itself.
Nature provides the skin for the pro¬
tection of the fruit from the multitude
of germs which are ever ready to at¬
tack it, as is evidenced when the skin
is bruised or broken in any way. The
microbes at once begin their work of
decay, and the fruit is unfit for food.
Children are chief offenders in respect
to this rule and should be carefully
watched and frequently cautioned. A
daintiness as to the condition of fruit
should be cultivated to prevent its be¬
ing eaten unripe or too old or on the
verge of decay. Remember that it is
sweet and ripe fruit, in prime condi¬
tion only, that is recommended.—

The Growth of Our Country.
Harper’s Weekly, in discussing the
material growth of the country be¬
tween 1873 and 1894, gives the?e fig¬
ures: “In 1873 the net deposits in
the national banks of the United States
were $673,400,000'; in 1894 they were
$2,019,300,000. In 1873 this country
exported cotton goods to the value of
$2,947,528. In 1894 its exports of
cotton in quantity had multiplied
more than four-fold, and their value
had increased to $14,340,886. In 1873
the country produced 264,314,148 gal¬
lons of crude petroleum, and in 1894
its production had increased to 2,033,-
331,972 gallons. In 1873 the total
product of cane sngar in this country
was 134,832,493 pounds; in 1894 it
was 610,825,618 pounds. In 1873 our
wool product was 158,000,000 pounds;
in 1894 it was 298,057,384 pounds. In
1873 we manufactured 2,401,202 tons
of pig iron; in 1894 we made 7,124,-
502 pounds.

“I was wounded and sent to the hospital

miles. Having no room In the box cars we
were placed face up on the bottom of flat

I was insensible and was unconscious for ten

Of this 100 mile ride and sunstroke was heart
disease, nervous prostration, Insomnia and
rheumatism; a completely shattered system
which gave me no rest night or day. As a
last resort I took some Pink Pills and they
helped me to a wonderful degree. My rheu¬
matism is gene, my heart failure, dyspepsia
and constipation are about gone, and the ab¬
scess in my ear has stopped discharging and
my head feels as clear os a bell, when before
it felt ns though it would burst, and my once
shattered nervous system is now nearly

said, “do they look as If there was any rheu¬
matism there?” He moved his fingers rapid¬ like

at the joints and so stiff that I could
not hold a pen. My knees would swell up
and I could not straighten my legs out. My
joints would squeak when I moved them.
That is tho living truth.
“When I oarao to think that I was goiDg

with the rest of my ailments, I tell you life
seemed not worth living. 1 suffered from

Mr. Edwards, as he drew a long'breath,

you lifted ten years right off my life and left

feel no better; I was an old man and
could only drag myself painfully about the

trouble. That in itself,” continued Mr.
Edwards, “would be sufficient to give me
cause for rejoicing, but when you come to
consider that I am no longer what you
might call nervous, and that my heart is ap¬
parently nearly healthy, and that I can sleep
nights, you may realize praise why I may appear to
speak in extravagant of Pink Pills.
These pills quiet my nerves, tqke that awful
depression from my head and at the same
time enrich my blood. There seemed to be

my legs being cold and clammy at times.

How to Mail Stamps, Etc.
How many people know how to mail
a stamp in a letter? Nine people out
of ten stick it so carefully down that
the recipient always loses his temper,
and generally the stamp, in the effort
to release it. It is really more exas¬
perating than when the sender forgets
altogether the stamp he should have
inclosed, for then, at least, it is not
wasted. Even the most extravagant
of us seldom have souls above saving a
stamp, for it is, strangely, far dearer to
us than the cents its represents. The
tenth person sends it loose, which is
well enough, providing it does not
slip out unseen and vanish, as these
totally depraved small things have a
habit of doing. Tho proper way is a
simple one. Cut with a sharp pen¬
knife two parallel slits at the top of
your letter and slip in your stamps,
which will thus travel as safely as if in
a special paper case. Perhaps you
have been in a country village, where
money orders and postal notes are un¬
known, and for some reason it becomes
necessary to send change in a letter.
Cut a piece of light carboard the size
of the envelope, and from this cut cir¬
cular pieces the size of your coins.
Insert the coins and paste a slip of pa¬
per across one or both sides.— Dem

For this purpose two ounces of log¬

of copperas to a quart of water, will be
required. When the work has become

Depew on tlie South.
The great opportunities of our flood coun¬ of
try are in tho south. The
immigration which has been pouring
iuto this country for fifty years has
sought the west, the northwest and the
Pacific coast. In these southern states
we find,as nowhere else in the country,
the original stock which fought at Cow
pens and King’s mountain and York
town. The composite of all races which
has developed the continent from the
great lakes to the Pacific has set a stand¬
ard of progress difficult to surpass.
They bad the advantage of virgin soil
and uninhabited regions in which to
locate and build their Commonwealths
and found their cities. Tho intelligent
patriotism of the southern people in
the last quarter of a century has over¬
come difficulties which seemed insur¬
mountable. A recognition of the as¬
similating and elevating power of edu¬
cation has created the New South with
its hospitable invitation and boundless
resources. The young men of the
south have no call to tempt fortune in
the crowded cities of the north or the
east. At their doors and within their
own states are their missions and their
carees .—Chauncey M. Depew.
