In all my wanderings as a Methodist ministers, wife I havo never seen a groator need for such an institution, and should there be a doubting Thomas who questions the ad visability of sucli an institution in our little city of thriftand en terprise, and whoso eyes may pcrchnnco fall upon these words I hog you follow for awhile these "Angels of Murcy,'' as they goin and out from patient to patient, and see them bond over the couch of wasting sickness with their hands literally tied, hoping against hope, and praying that mind over inator may prevail, as they face tho situation and reals izothe fact that thoenvironments of some people nro enough to baf fle tho skill of t lit- most renowned expert.

The true, not the new, should be the motto of tlioho who write or speak about the apple, the fruit longest in use by our branch of the human race. There are certain simple principles Unit must be given, line upon line, pre cept upon precept, to every fresh gener ation of men or ruther should be given Juat about thnt time that the genera tion is beginning to lose Its freshness and to call on the doctor for rerai Every well to do man of good digestion and appetite tends to est too much meat every day after his twenty-fifth birthday, aud one of the values of fruit, the apple above others, Is the ease with which It may be made an “antimeat for breakfast” article. With baked apples and cream and good roast potatoes on the breakfast table the di«h of cold or hot meat become* subordinate even If It Is not entirely abolished. Men of forty, the age when every man not u fool Is supponed to have acquired the right to give medical advice, at least to himself, will relate their various wonderful discoveries aud remarkable self cures Just os they had given up all hope, and In general the reduce themselves to this: “I ate le meat, but I did not know It, and 1 took a great deni rffore fruit, especially op pies.” linked apples for breakfast tend to reduce the amount of meat eaten If are Inclined to eat too much and to supply the system with mineral foods and the digestive tract with adds. People who cat too much food are not to be advised to eat baked apples mero addition to the breakfast, and those who need a substantial meal must not let the baked apple Interfere with the taking ®f solid food. As u rule, those who eat three meals per diem will wisely have-the nicest dish of bnked apples obtainable for break fast. It Is n piece of simple wisdom worth pages of ordinary medical lltern ture. The digestion of milk Is some what delayed by sour fruits, but pure, rich cream Is not milk, and taken with a Juicy linked apple what dish can be more tempting and wholesome? If you are twenty-eight or thirty-five, Inclined to ring the doctor's bell and talk with your druggist, try this pre scription. You mny put sugar on the apples, but we shall not sugar coat the remedy with any mystery or any claim to novelty. We merely turn to your good wife or your housekeeper and ask whether she is cnreful to give you nice roast npples and cream and to make the breakfnst meat dishes as little tempting as mny be.—American Gar den. Dlsfraell and (Undatone. A short tlmo before his death Dis raeli sat for his portrait to Millais. In his studio hung a proof engraving of Gladstone, with his hands hanging down before him lightly clasped and an almost beatific expression on his face. Millais observed that Disraeli's eyes were frequently bent upon the portrait. At length he asked him If he would accept n copy. "I was rather shy of offering It to you,” be apologet ically added. ”1 should bo delighted to have it,” said Disraeli, with what for him was an almost eager manner. “People think that more or less through our political lives I have disliked Mr. Gladstone. To tell the truth, my only dlfilculty In respect to him has been thnt studying him from day to day and year to year I could never understand him.” Mad* Him Low Spirited.

As 60on as he mounted one of the cowboys said "Wow!" the conductor of the train waved a red flag, the engineer let out a squirt of‘’steam, and the cor respondent went through Sharon Springs, leaving a cloud of dust be hind him that looked like the re mains of a cyclone. He w$nt through one fence and took the cor ner off one barn and finally brought np against the side of another. A committee of villagers helped him up, he remounted the horse, start ed again, and the last seen of him he was far out on the horizon, still followed by the rolling dust cloud. He came in later on a meek cayuse lent to him by a friendly cowboy, who incidentally informed him that he had been riding the most famous race horse of that end of Kansas and that the horse was trained to run when the reins were pulled tight and stop only when they were slackened.—Argonaut." What Wearies a College President. President Hadley of Yale, writing in the Youth's Companion on the work of a college president, tells of the deluge of letters that comes to him. Many of the letters are of course simply handed over to the university secretary or treasurer. Others contain a more personal note. Says one correspondent: Dear Sir—I have offered you a fair chal lenge for a public debat* with mi cernlng the method adopted in the tion of the universe. I hold that It la th* duty of the president of Yale university to discus* a tcplo like this with every on* who is willing to do so. and unless you name a time and place I shall proclaim you recreant to your duty. Another and younger man who is more interested in tlie present than in the past begins: Dear Blr—I write to Inquire whether your college la composed of a baseball nine. A third correspondent says: I feel that I have a call to preach the gospel, and therefore If arrangement* can be made for my support I should like to take a course of study in the Sheffield Scientific school. CONDENSED S-CfllES. Novel Theatrical Advertising. American actresses are not the only ones who know how to get their names into the papers. A week or so ago Jeanne Grenier took a party in her motor car to tho outskirts of I’aris. Just outside of Tonnerre a shower fell that drenched all of them. Mile. Granier'saw her op portunity. She sent for the village tailor, shoemaker, milliner, hatter and hosier and bought complete out fits for her guests at a cost of $300 and then sent for the reporters. On tho same day an actress in Berlin was accosted by a “Johnnie.” So distressed was she that to rid her self of him she jumped into the Spree. He was so frightened that he fainted on the spot and came to San Francisco is still repeating and laughing over the bonmots Bishop Potter let drop on the oc casion of his visit to that city two years ago to attend the Epiecopal convention. At that time the citizens were very much astir because the famous eastern bishop was to be a visitor within tlieir gates, and thsy vied with one another to honor their guest. The bishop was kept busy declining the invitations that he had not time to accept. But one invita tion that he did avail himself of wss to occupy the magnificent resi dence of William Crocker, one of the millionaire, families of which Mrs, Francis Burton Harrison and Mrs. Alexander are eastern representa tives. The house is a showy one, situat ed upon Nob bill, where the early California millionaires built their homes, so it is a “show placo.” It esme to have a double interest when it was occupied bp the bishop. One day a San Franciscan was snowing the group of residences to a friend who was visiting in the city. As they approached the “Will Crocker” home he sprang the treasured joke which he had Jbeen eavifig for the right moment. “This,” said he, with a flourish, “is Mr. Crocker’s Pottery.” He did not recognize the gcntle- _ man who was at that moment de- I scending tlie steps. It was the bish- 1 op, who could not lelp overhearing and who had a twinkle in his eye. “I beg pardon for correcting yon,” he said, out you are mistaken. This is Bishop Potter’s Crockery.”— Washington Star. Ttm, to Loarn. One of tlie latest 6tories of the strange reasoning of negroes comes from J. H. Stoddart, the veteran actor, and is of an incident he wit nessed in Louisiana on a tour through that part of the country. “I had an afternoon lay off in this Louisiana town,” said the ac tor, “and with nothing to do roam ed about tho place. Fnially I got to the courthouse and went in. A negro trial was on, and a typical old darky was one of the witnesses. He was fixing the time of the occur rence of the trouble and said it was half past 3 in the afternoon. “ Tfow do you know it was half past 3?’ demanded the lawyer for the other side. ‘“Why, I—I knowed it was half past 3 by my watch. I knowed it,’ stammered the darky. ‘“Can you tell time?’ demanded the lawyer. “ ‘Sure, I can tell time,’ answered the witness. “ ‘What time is it now ?’ demand ed the lawyer, pointing to tho clock. “The darky studied the clock for LAWYERS.
