Eating Fruit at Breakfast. One of the roo6t injurious customs in regard to eating is the practice of serving fruit at the beginning of breakfast. The best medical testimony pronounces acid of any sort hurtful if taken when the stomach is empty. A more judicious custom provides fruit nt the close of the meaL Besides being easier digested at that time, the fruit can be better relished.

An Indian « ho bn* 1 bundle Of peltl to dispose of is r* • 'lie most impatient creatures ta ti c «id, and gives the trader no rest till he lias exchanged them for such articles as ha most covets ta the •tore. In the early morning before sun¬ rise they begin to congregate about the ■tore and the tired employes yet in bed are aware by the shuffling of their moc¬ casin mi feet on the front porch (hat decidedly their chances for another nap are unfavorable. Placing their packs of hides or turs or - lie porch they wander from window i ■ 'window, peeping inside to ascertain it nybody is yet astir within. When bj isfied that all the em¬ ployes are yet abed, they contrive some- now to cross the stockade fence, when they pass through the yard to the rear of ttie store, where the clerks usually sleep. Posting themselves at the bedroom win¬ dows they begin a lusty drumming on the panes, "E-nock-e-ne-ku-lah” accompanied with the ejacula¬ tion: desired (hurry up, friend). This soon has the effect, and ta a few moments the door is un¬ locked and thrown open tffid the business of trading begins at once. that fre¬ So great is this morning rush quently it is impossible to take time to sweep the floor and dust the goods be¬ fore tho breakfast call. The crowd con¬ tinues increasing until about 0 o’clock, when the store ia literally jammed with Indians, men, women and children, and hordes of dogs. Then what a row of pointed faces, nodding plumes and fan¬ tastic costumes you see ranged along the coon ter, and what a Babel of confusion —all clamoring to be waited on at once. A cluster of squaws arrayed in gaudy shawls call the trader’s attention to a certain piece of calico, and demand the price, and no matter whether it be jdfh or low his reply is greeted by a chorus of scornful exclamations and derisive laugh¬ ter. During the process of tearing off the desired amount the trader is made the butt of a series of ridiculous taunts, in which a more proficient adept than an Indian sqnaw could nowhere be found. But still the throng increases and the noise accordingly. The benches around the walls are crowded, and now they be¬ gin to sit in groups on the floor, smoking and chatting. Occasionally a dog fight starts up, which creates a short stam¬ pede, until the belligerent canines are fired out. Same of tha peculiarities of the In¬ dians to trade are very troublesome to the trader. For instance, if one sells furs to the amount of $3 or $4 and agrees to take his pay in goods, he usu¬ ally insists on having the amount ta money counted out and given him before be begins to purchase. When he re¬ ceives the cash he begins to purchase, paying for such articles procured until the whole amount is expended Pres¬ ently another steps up and wishes change for $1 in dimes. He then calls for cal¬ ico, laying down a dime, the price of one yard; when that is measured he con¬ tinues, putting down a dime at each measure until the desired number is reached, when It Is tom off and given him. Even then he is not through with you, for every purchaser, bis bill, no matter about the extent of expects ••sin-te,” which must be a present of some matches, apples, candy or the like. The squaws are as much given to van¬ ity as their white sisters of civilization, the articles which they covet most being vermilion for painting the face, beads, fancy calicoes and shawls of gaudy colors. Iroquois, a small bugle shaped shell, is much prized and is used for making necklaces and ornaments for the ears. They also purchase a great many fancy articles, such as little hand mirrors, per¬ fumery of various kinds, fancy display soaps, etc. Among the perfumery bay there is usually a few bottles of rum, but should a buck purchase a bottle it is not likely that be would use it for toilet pur¬ poses; be would remove the cork and gravely turning up the bottle drink off the contents at a draught. He does the same with flavoring extracts, lemon, vanilla, etc. The Indians bring a great many curi¬ osities to the store to be exchanged for goods. The squaws are quite tasty in the manufacture of these native orna¬ ments, which consist of knife scabbards, pony whips, moccasins and other gew¬ gaws made of buckskin and worked with beads and porcupine quills. The most interesting article, however, and one which ever commands a ready sale, ia the Indian dolls. They are usaally dressed in buckskin, in perfect imitation of a brave ready for the war path, with fringed leggings and tiny moccasins, the crown of the head being covered with buffalo hair terminating in a long wisp behind. With faces fantastically printed they present a very hostile appearance. The articles brought in by the men con¬ stat of deer heads, deer, antelope and buffalo bores; the latter, however, are now very rare. They also bring pipes, tomahawks, war clubs, bows and arrows, Imitation scalps, and petrified remains ricked up in their wanderings.—Sam Barker In Detroit Free Press, Vine* tor the Dwelling Hoo*e. $ Nothing adds more to the appearance of a place than vines growing about the another it must be that vines are the poets of the field and garden. I have seen houses that were as ungraceful could well be in their bare outlines as they of vines about •6 transformed by the all use about their for¬ them that yon forget hidden under mer n glinam. That was the clustering leaves; the slender branches, thrown here and there in the e sroixni, unstudied grace of the true artist, breaking up all harsh outlines and destroying all of that primness and for¬ mality characteristic of a house as it comes from the hand of the carpenter. with Skillful planning by a designer but an artistic eye can do much for a home, the vine can do more The finishing touch must be made fay it It is not only a poet, but it is an artist It cannot only conceal defects, but it is capable of mak¬ ing them picturesque and striking whan given a chance to do so. I was very forcibly impressed with the troth of this iqr seeing a honse not long ago, which had been left in an unfinished state. This condition would have made the house an unpleasant thing to see. But some one had planted vines about it and they had clambered to the roof and ran along the projecting boards of the ends, covering them with foliage and dropping here and there a festoon of greenery which actually made the building more attractive than it would have been if the cornice had been completed, with its straight lines and uncompromising clamber an¬ gles. Do you want something to up to the roof and cover the building with foliage, bat beautiful all through the season, doubly so in the fall! Then the very plant you are in search of is our native vine* ampelopsia or Virginia creeper. This is to us what the ivy is to Eng¬ land. It is hardy; it will fasten itself to the smoothest surface; it will take care of itself. What more can you ask! In fall it will take on colors so brilliant that it rivals the flowers in the beds be¬ low.—E. E. Rexford in Vick’s Mag a zin e. Superiority of Women. “Who Is it," cried Miss Susan B. Anthqny a few d^yB ago, “who is it that fill your penitentiaries? Not womeu,hut men. And who is it that fill your churches? Not men, but women." Now, we maintain without ceasing the superiority of the gentle sex in every moral quality that adorns human nature; and we cannot deny that the vast ma¬ jority of criminals of every kind are men. from Men which are liable women to many are happily temptations free. The boisterous passions are stronger in men than in women. The bones and muscles of men are harder than those of women. The insatiable Inst for lucre rages in the heart of men, not of women. The fierce competitions of life are be¬ tween men, not women. The rough work of tfae world in business and poli¬ tics and publio control, in which hostile feelings are apt to be generated, is done by men, not by women. Men haunt the liquor shop, while women do not enter. Many men prowl around the streets and publio places at night when hearth.—New women are enjoying the domestic York Sun. ^WJLViEIQHr PURE Its superior excellence proven in millions of homes for more than United a quarter States of a Gov¬ een tury.
