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.— J'hiladelphla Times. 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. All Smiths There. They tell a story in Dalton, Ga., of a recent revival meeting in one of the rural districts of Whitfield county. In the middle of the services the preacher said: “Will Brother Smith please lead in prayer ?” Seven men arose and began praying at once. This embarassed the preacher and he said hurriedly: “I mean Brother John Smith!” At this announcement one sat down and five more got up and began pray¬ ing. The preacher saw his mistake, said* nothing and let the eleven pray it out among themselves. Ho Will Not Drown Himself,' (From the Troy, t N. T., Times.") B. W. Edwards, of Lnnsingburgh, was pros¬ trated by sunstroke during the war and it has entailed on him. peculiar and serious consequences. At the present writing Mr. E. Is a prominent officer ot Post Lyon, G. A. B. f Cohoes, and a past aid de camp on the staff of the commander-in-chief of Albany Co. In the interview with a reporter he said: “I was wounded and sent to the hospital at Winchester. They sent me, together with others, to Washington—a ride of about 100 miles. Having no room In the box cars we were placed face up on the bottom of flat cars. The sun beat down upon our unpro¬ tected heads. When I reached Washington I was insensible and was unconscious for ten days while In tho hospital. An abscess gath¬ ered in my ear and broke;' it has been gath¬ ering and breaking ever since. The result 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 sound. Look at those fingers,” Mr. Edwards said, “do they look as If there was any rheu¬ matism there?” He moved his fingers rapid¬ like ly a’ and freely and strode about the room gnarled young boy. “A year ago those fingers were 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 to bo crippled with rheumatism, together with the rest of my ailments, I tell you life seemed not worth living. 1 suffered from said despondency. I cannot begin to tell yon.” Mr. Edwards, as he drew a long'breath, “what my ieeling is at present. I think if you lifted ten years right off my life and left me could primo and vigorous at forty-seven, I feel no better; I was an old man and could only drag myself painfully about the house. Now I con walk off without any 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.

Now the circulation there is as full and as brisk ns at any other part of my body. 1 used to be so light-headed and dizzy from my neryous disorder that I frequently fell while crossing the floor of my house.

Gov’t Report V 1 Rowder Baking ■ AESeE.ei’EOf POSSE 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 orest'8 Magazine. To Ebonizo Wood.

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.
