There are iiiiiny who sini jly cannot combine the I i to gether. I knew of a dipsomaniac who would drink anything ratht r than water. Sic required something which would bite ,ul Ming and she would take r d ink or ii fai t almost anything that was acrid. nd so s iiu fruits at the outset, perhaps. ,mripe fi uits might help to remove any .iiiiatiir.il desire for drink. Fruits have always lieen agreed to lie a valuable cure for invalids suffering from . 1 1 1 1 1 -1 every kind of disease. Mr. Allien l .n adhent, an authority on the apple, for i:. stance, iys: ' Willi rare exceptions, apples ate good f . ! those disposed to gout and sluggish liver .Hid fi r tin hi' who follow a xtilentary life. Two or three eatill at night, uncooked or I ;iKi d. correct constipation. The Juice of .ilples without sugar will of tin reduce acidity of the stoiiiach, becoming changed in .1 alkaline correctives and thus curing s nir ferinentat ion. Where unsweetened . i . 1 i- is used as a common beverage, stone ir inlcultis is unknown, but how much In' t -ter the fresh, ripe fruit must lie;" i nances, again, are used as a cure for iitlueiiza, especially in l'Torida, which is. ef course, the garden of oranges. Neatly every fruit will purify the Mood, partly lie ciuse of the soft water (which takes up more material in the system) and partly lie cause of Its salts. Ijemon is famous for this nascn. Hut such fruits are by no means rich in li t Id. Ponewhnt richer, though overes timated in this respect, are tins and prunes and raisins, which are among the best cutis fi r cuiis: ip .tioi'. The banana abounds in alt y and o 1 mateiial, but we have exag gerated notions ;f iu powers. It si ems that tlie daily allowance of this fruit to workmen in tn pical America is six pounds. It must possi ss some ottnr useful elements besides protcid to give it its staying pnwif. But nuts are the pnncid kings annum iruits. Tt Is on them that the apes main lain much of their vigor. Lot us It. ok at i lie almond for a moment. It can be llinr i uulily masticated rr ilsc p' undid or tnillel. ib i iim It is rich in oil as well as in protehl. Al moinls and raisins, which ate so often taken after a full meal, arc, like , lu ese, abso lutely a complete meal in t lictns.-lw s. so hideously nri s is our ignnmncc ahum f,,o, values. One is lelnilldid when one sees this extra meal of cheese and mils, or p, r haps of both, on the top of an ample, or dinary meal, i f the digesting s mg di-gu-t - inn because it has about i; the t f jollity and good fellowship. Then take another. Yes, take another. Yes, take one more. Not the same as before, Hut another, aud yet mini In r. For the sake of Auld I.ang Syne. It is said of the almond: "Nut -en am is recommended for brain wot kits. Ii is madi as follows: I'miml in a mortar or mince finely three blanched almonds Iwo wal nuts, two ounces of pine kernels; sleep over night in orange or b mini juiie.

These fruits should be carefully washed and eaten while still fresh, if possibli. As to the peel, some cannot digest it; bu; the juice within and near the peel is valuable, and hence the peel should be liiijbd ami the strained water taken as a drink, or at bast added to some dish. We must not upset nature's balance of elements. The fruit cure is probably the pit asaiu- est of all. It has many varieties, oranges apples and grapes In iiig three nf the best known kinds. There seems to be no limit to the number of illnesses which il will remedy. It may be classed as a soft water treatment la branch of the fasting treat ment) together with natural tin diciin .-. Some Manila Statistics M hit ion vid. d llese, NILA, says Jusiicia. published in that city, is the capital of the Philippine islands and is situa ted on the island of Luzon, on .Manila bay. and has a pupil of some lliin.nim people, di ns follows: Nativis, I'.'i.nnn; Chi i.l.iMHi. and others, principally Amer icans in, linn. It is a quaint, obl-fashioiu d city, luiilt upon th" northeastern shore ef the bay. which U nearly round and about twenty four miles across. The houses are principally built of man ufactured stone and are one, two and three story structures. The walls are from two to four feet thick and built to withstand the earthquakeM and do i. e., the less se vere ones. The streets are tolerably straight and from thirty to sixty feet wid -. with the majority of them about thirty-lh" feet. The city is lighted very poorly with elec tric lights. There Is a street car line, the cars being drawn by small ponies. The teli phone system Is poor. Manila has a very good waterworks system, presented to the municipality by a Filipino who has de parted this life, the condition of the gift being that the poor people should always have water free, and public hydrants at ' accordingly well distributed about the city. The l'asig river courses through the city from the northeast to the southwest. He low the first bridge, above the mouth of the river, at the famous "bridge of Spain," the river U wide and deep and is constantly crowded with commercial boats of all de scriptions. It is a sight worth a long jour t ncy to see. The churches and cathedrals are a marked feature of Manila. Their grandeur and in many instances elegance is a wonder an! surprise to the stranger. And the bells, the "beautiful bells," the devotion of Un people their niu.sic for tills. Those whi do not like them think they are something "awful." Feast days, and there are many, business io the immediate vicinity of n church ha:i at times to be suspended dur ing tln ir ringing and that is many timei ip't'iiig the day and it is not unusual for them to be heard at midnight, and they always mingle wilh the voices of a myriad of cocks (rowing all over the city at 5 and ii o'clock in the morning. The pei pie go to bed early and rise early. The first thing we hear in the morning is the sweeping of the streets or the running of the hydrant after the cock crowing and the ringing of the belbs has ceased. Fires are lighted by the poorer ( lass at an early in nr. by many before il is fairly light, and the women pn pare breakfast, so the men can go about the live-long day in many in-sianrn- doing nothing, and an easy time tiny have. The women, too, for that mat ter. Il is safe to s.ty that there are no poor people on earth who are more con tent, and suffer less for the necessiiies of life than the Filipino people. It is not be cause "igm. ranee Is blisri," either. They simply obtain without much exertion tin comforts of life. The Chinese are the bone and sinew of Manila and the only people here who take kindly to manual labor. The Americans here are no fonder of hard work than tin- Filipino. The "walled city" contains probably two fifths of the population of Manila and bin a small portion of I lie wholesale ami re tail business. Tile courts, the giiverumelil buildings, both civil and military, and tin principal school are in the "walled city." To our liking, the climate is perfect. Never hot like it is in the I'liiled States. Inn ing the rainy season thete is a i leanll inss aud a freiihness that is always invig orating aud the dry si n.-on Is a change, hir not so healthy. This is written for the benefit of those who would like to si ml something truthful about Manila home and have not time i.r the disposition to write it.

He drifted into a Nt vada mining camp one day and vaguely stated that he was from the east. That information was purely gratuitous on his part, as his dress, manner and speech proclaimed him a s' ran ger to the west. He went about the rough work if the camp heroically, relatis the Detroit Free l'ress, kei ping aloof from its dissipation and debasing inlliieiii es, and at the same time maintaining absolute silence coiicern in his former life. The appellation by which he was known throughout the camp was a plied in the first instance in a spirit of derision, but finally as the heroic quali ties of the frail eastern chap became aa par. nt, the mineis. uncouth and ii r. sp msi Ide as tin y wi r became iinpresse I, and ' tit email Jack, wi iking : ,i!. ii: e, ex ited their rude admiration. They were engaged in blasting rock one lay. l'crhaps the new-comer was slow, or else someone blundered. In any event when the force of the explosion was spent (ien tleman Jack was found crushed bineath the weight of a huge boulder. Prompt assist ance was rendered, and at lir-t they deemed him dead. Finally strained respiration was discovered and iiigeily the miners gathered about him as he lay prone on the groun I. Painfully, yi t in a measure sweetly Kpokeii, tin y came: "Our Father which an in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will b- done in earth, as it is in heaven, (jive us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our t n spasm s, as we forgive them who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil, for Thine is the king dom, the power and the glory for ever and e-ver." The last word was uttered in llie faintest whisper. No amen was iiccrnry, for in a moment tletitlcmar. Jack was deal. He lbs buried on a green hillsid. in the strange land of his adoption, but his death caused his former companions to reali.e that a hero had lived in their midst. Omaha Souvenir Cup.
