The Dwarf Whom Harvard Honored. At the recent commencement ex ercises at Harvard University oc curred an incident full of instruc tion for those who saw it. It is often the habit of boys to judge of things by the way they look; but as one grows older he learns that appearance is not all. "Handsomne is as handsome does" is an adage that becomes clearer as one learns more of the world. At these exercises there were over one thousand students ready to receive diplomas, their friends who had come from all over the country; besides scores of wise men and great President Eliot confer red honorary degrees upon many distinguished guests who were pre sent. One of these was Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, who arose in the fullness of I sturdy manhood and bowed his thanks. There were scientists, inventors, famous preachers, great judges, diplomats, and statesmen. Once when a name was called, a! soldier in full uniform bedecked with gold braid and shining buttons arose. He was a surgeon of the army, and was thus honored by Harvard because he had discovered how to check the dreadful scourge yellow fever, an enemy that mows down more soldiers-than the bullets. Each of these men, seated in a circle on the stage before the vast audience, arose in turn and bowed in all his honor and glory. It was a sight, magnificent and inspiring. to see these distinguished men famous, worthy of honor, handsome. The president of the college then read from his list another name which Harvard wished to honor. His deep, full voice pronounced these words: "Charles Proteus Steivmetz, the foremost expert in applied electrici ty cf this country, and therefore of the world." From out of the bank of seats there arose a dwarfish, misshapen figure, a tiny man, humpbacked, his face peering out between his shoulders, his black hair bristling all on end. He bowed, smiling, and with the dig iity of the others took his seat. The applause that followed shook the vast concourse. Everyone felt the meaning of the bestowed honor. Everyone thought of electricity, the greatest factor of this scientific age;~ o1 telegraphs, trolley cars, electric lights, of the lightning ser-ving for men; electricity, king of science;1 New York W To the People w Until Marci When I closed out my Dry Goods busir many of my friends to tell me that they out of business, because I had given ti found ayhr,and they would miss m because thyalways found eveyhigjus I apeatdthis, and it gives me ples aanthat I begin with greater advantag teentire stock of Clothing, Shoes, Hats, at The Ewart, at a great bargain, and as I desire to gis of the lines, turning thestore, in ashort Men's Furnishing Goodi I will lose out theentire stockmi the prices which are in plain figures, less 25: per cent. over what you have been payinj on.

It is deeds, not looks, that count.-The American Boy. Value and Beauty of the Apple. The Independent. A medical writer is quoted as fol lows: "The more mellow apples one eats the better, provided they be taken at meal time. It is best of all to eat fruit before meals, and freely as you like." This will prevent loading the system with a heavy weight of less digestible foods. Senator Vest says that if a man wishes. to live long and be able to keep up his work he must eat not less than one apple with every noon lunch; we are not sure but he said half a dozen. The no breakfast fad tells us that we must not only go without the morn ing meal, but that we must live much more largely upon frait Some of its disciples insist that the apple may be taken in the place ot the ordinary breakfast. John We~ ley once referred to apple dump lings ai an illustration of the alarm ing advance of luxuries in England. Charles Lamb quotes a friend who says that "a man can not haye a pure mind who refuses apple dump lings," and Dr. Johnson speaks of a clergyman of his acquaintance who brought his family up almost altogether on the Anglo-Saxon com bination.

It nut be borne in mind that the ideal is one that is fit to he eaten raw; yt the glorious old Sditzenburg is only fit for the cook-in whose hands it becomes the very perfection of pie apples. The nineteenth ccntury went out with a marvelous evolu tion of new sorts of frui:s of a:i kinds; but there was nothing in the list to exceed the delicious juices of the Aorthern Spy, the Macintosh Red, the Shannon or the Stuart's Golden. There is nothing in the world to exceed the beauty of the apple blos som; while the air is laden with an exquisite perfume that has charm ed a hundred .generations-has added to the posey, the love and the com fort of Greek, of Roman and of Briton. But if there be anything more beautiful than the apple in blossom it is the same tree loaded down with crimson and golden fruit. Then it is that the apple touches human nature and awakens in the housekeeper the highest conception of the science on the fine art of dieteetics. ENDORSED AT HOME.
