The apple is composed of vegeta ble fiber, albuuien, sugar gum, chlor ophyl, malic acid, gallic acid, lime and much water. The German analysts declare that the. apple con tains a larger percentage of phosphor us than any other fruit or vegetable. This phosphorusis admirably adapted for renewing the essential nervous matter, lethicin of the brain and spi nal cord. Old Scandinavian legends or traditions represent the apple as the food of the gods, who, when they found themselves growing feeble and infirm, resorted to this fruit to renew the powers of the mind and body. Judging from these traditions, ap ples must have been highly thought of in ancient times, and their restora tive qualities undertood, says a writer in the Ladies' World. The acids of the apple are of great use to seden tary habits whose livers are sluggish in action ; they eliminate from the body noxious matters which, if re tained, would make the brain heavy and dull, or bring about jaundice or skin eruptions, and other allied troubles. Some such experience must have led to the custom of taking ap ple sauce with roast pork, rich goose and like dishes. The malic acid of ripe apples, either raw or cooked, will neutralize any excess of chalky mat ter engendered by eating too much meat. It is also the fact that such fresh fruits as the apple, the pear and the plum, taken when ripe, and without sugar, diminish the acidity of the stomach rather than provoke it. Their vegetable salt and juice are converted into alkaline carbonates, which tend to correct acidity. A good ripe, raw apple is one of the easiest of the vegetable substances for the stomach to deal with, the whole pro cess of digestion being completed; in eighty-five minutes. A poultice of rotten apples is said to be an excellent remedy for weak rheumatic eyes. In the French hospitals an apple poul tice is applied to inflamed eyes, the apple being roasted, and the pulp ap plied directly to the eyes? that is with out the intervention of cloth or sub stance. A modern maxim teaches that "To eat an apple going to bed, The doctor then will beg his bread." Water for Fowls. Did you ever notice how often a lien will go to a vessel of water to Ret a drink, if it be convenient, in course of an hour? If you put a fresh lot of water before fowls, did you ever watch the eagerness manifested to >ret there first ? When such need of drink is so plainly seen, does it not seem a cruel thing to let hours, clays or even weeks pass without furnishing the necessa ry supply ? It is stated that three fourths of the composition of the egg is water. When the hen is not con veniently supplied with the necessary article do you suppose she can derive enough moisture from what she can gather about the yard to manufac ture an egg every day, or even every other day ? All who are interested in the comfort and welfare of the crea tures around them will do what they can to alleviate the suffering that may result from thirst. Those who have not the time to supply fresh water every day or two can cons:ruct a fountain in some shaded place which will furnish a supply until the water is exhausted. Take a ten-gallon keg and bore in it a number of holes with a small auger so that a row of them may be close to the bottom. Construct a cover to this, the rim of which may be an inch and a half larger in diameter than the head of the keg, and deep enough to cover the holes. Fill the keg with water from the perforated end, place the water-tight cover 011 it, invert it, and the water will rise in the extra width of the cover until the holes are cov ered. and there it will stand, a three quarter inch trough all around the keg, a fountain which will keep fresh 1 in the shade, and into which the fowls cannot step, and thus befoul the water with their feet. "Lemonade and buttermilk are as good as anything drinkable that you can find for this weather," said a phy sician to n Cincinnati Times-Star re porter. "They both are great things to quench thirst. They both act as a pleasant tonic to the stomach, and they have a stimulating quality. But they should not be drunk ice cold, that is, bits of ice should not be in the goblet. Let them be as cold as the ice chest or refrigerator can make them, but not more than that. When you pour down your throat a pint or SO of fluid that is fresh from the ice, temporary paralysis of the stomach follows. If a man happens to be very hot, such a thing not in frequently is as fatal as a stroke of lightning." I tell yer, ' he said, sadly, "this here matrimonial business don't pay, not by a durned sight. When a feller first gits married he thinks lie has struck the South corner of heaven, but it don't last long. I know from my own experience. For about the first six weeks after I was married I was dead in love with my wife, and felt just like 1 could eat her. An' fer the neit six weeks and ever since I've wished I had et her."

The President and Secretary Win dom have approved the designs of the new treasury notes provided for by the new silver bill, which were re cently prepared at the bureau of en graving and printing in anticipation of the passage of the bill. These notes will be of eight different de nominations. as follows : One dollar, two dollar, live dollar, ten dollar, twentv dollar, fifty dollar, one hun dred dollar and one thousand dollar. While each note has a distinctive de" sign outside of its value designation they will all resemble in form and general characteristics the present le" gal tender note. They will all be printed in black. A new feature of the notes intended to prevent raising or alteration is the printing of their value in big black letters across the back. This will be done in the case of the ones, twos, fives, tens, twenties and fifties. Black figures will be used in the case of the one hundred and one thousand dollar notes, as the width of the note will not admit of the use of letters of the desired size. The notes will differ from all pre vious issues in bearing the words "United States of America" instead of simply "United States."' They will say on their face that they are redeem able in coin and on their backs that they are legal tender for all debts, public and private. Portraits will be displaved on the different notes, so far as selected, as follows : Ex-Secre tary Stanton on the ones, Gen. Thom as on the fives, Gen. Sheridan on the tens, Admiral Farragut on the one hundreds, and Gen. Meade on the one thousands. While the vignettes for the two, twenty and fifty-dollar notes have not yet been decided upon, it is probable that they will contain por traits of Gen. McPherson. ex-Presi dent William Henry Harrison and ex-Secretary Morrill, respectively. The vignettes of Thomas and Sheri dan will be placed exactly in the cen tre of the faee of the notes, all the others being placed on the sides of the face. Secretary Windom said the other day that the issue of these notes to meet the earlier demands will be confined to the tens, one hundreds and one thousands, for the reason that it will be impossible to print a sufficient amount of the smaller de nominations to meet the requirements of the act in the thirty days interven ing before it takes effect. They will, however, be printed as rapidly as the facilities of the government will per I mit. A great tariff-reform picnic was held at Plattsburg, Mo., Saturday last. There were at least 10.000 peo ple present, representing many coun ties of Missouri. Hon. Roger Q. Mills, of Texas, was the principal speaker and made a strong speech in favor of tariff reform and in denunciation of the national election bill. Referring to Speaker Reed, he said: "A bold wretch, occupying one of the highest positions in the government, who tramples under foot the rights of mi norities and thanks (iod for the op portunity, lias made of the people'* representative body a military camp in which the subordinates get their orders daily. But that Saxon spirit which has dethroned kings and brok en sceptres will teach him the lesson which it has taught every usurper who has attempted to curb it."

Thomas Wellett, a worthless young fellow, left his family some time ago and took up with Bella Archer, one of the inmates of the place. On Wednesday hut they became involved in a jealous quarrel. Wellett drew a knife and stabbed the woman - in numerous places. Maliala Watson, another in mate of the house, attempted to in terfere. but was rendered helpless by numerous slashes of the knife held by Wellett. He continued to cut and slash the women. Finally, weary of his bloody work, he went out and gave himself up to the officers. At last accounts the older women was sinking and the younger has develop ed peritonitis. It is supposed both will die. Pat McGrath possesses a eat which was born with only three legs. As soon as the kitten became large enough to leave its mother, Pat con structed a wooden leg and succe>s fully adjoined it to the little stump that grew out where pussy's fourth t leg ought to have been. Pussy now trots along on four legs with a* much ease and comfort apparently as though the wooded leg had been placed there by nature. But here is the wonderful part of the story : In stead of killing rats and mice with her claws, as cats usually do, pussy has learned to use her club leg for I this purpose, and it is said to be a very amusing sight to see her run up j to a rat and knock him into insensi ! bility with her wooden leg.?
