BREAKFAST FRUIT. The Bast Said to B Oranges, Grapes and Freeh Olives. Of ull biviikfnst fnills the orniige U deservedly the most popular. It la it food that U distinctly health giving Orange Juice aids greatly lu reducing the uinuunt of putrefaction found In the Intestines of nearly ull persons who ure submitted to clinical labora tory tests. Grapes ure auother fruit that should , always be eateu freely when obtainable. Apples are preferably eaten before re tiring, and two are about twice ns good as one. The apple babit. persisted in. often works ruther surprising results with persons who are naturally list less. Lemons cau bardly be enteu us a fruit, but lemonade is a valuable beverage. When used as a laxative fresh figs should form the dessert. When uot obtainable the dried tigs form a good substitute. Of the value of biinauas there seems some reasonable doubt. Many persons complain that they find them indigesti ble. They are quite likely to reach this conclusion If the banana be eaten frequently ns the needless complement of an already hearty meal. On the other hand, there can be no doubt that the growing popularity of the fresh olive Is fully deserved. It surely ranks with the orange and the grape and Is, of course, much ahead of either In cases of sluggish intestines or constitu tional thinness. II. Irving Hancock in Good Housekeeping. TOO COMPLICATED. The Reason We Soy "You" Instead of Using "Thou." The reasou commonly given for the substitution of the second person plural for the second person singular, "you" instead of "thou"-that it origi nated as a fad of courtesy may ex plain its origin, but its universal adop tion Is due to a deeper reason namely, that the second person singular of the verb is a complicated and difficult form, while tbe second person plural Is simple to the last degree. With every principal verb In the lan guage and with every auxiliary except "must" the pronoun "thou" requires a special change In tbe form of tbe verb, wbicb is often the only break in an otherwise uniform series. Thus In tbe present tense of every verb, with the single exception of tbe verb "be," the pronoun "you" employs the unchanged root form rf the verb, ns "you love, have, can do. shall, will." etc., while "thou" requires a change of form, as "thou lovest, hast, canst, dost, shall, wilt," etc. In every such choice the unchanged root form has always the right of way. Thus "you" has become everywhere current In the busy activities of life, while "thou" is carefully laid up In tbe museum of antiquity or the sbrlne of religion. James C. Fernald in Har per's Magazine. , . Making Sure of the Architect. - Norman-Al-Oouar, an Arabian king who reigned long, long ago at Hirab. commanded the architect Sennemar to build him a wondrous palace. This tbe architect did and when It was done a staple stone fastened the whole structure, and the colors of tbe walls changed frequently during tbe day. The king was greatly pleased and showered all kinds of rich gifts upon tbe builder with the lavisbness of ori ental kings. But monarchs were treacherous in those old days, and It occurred to tbe king that Sennemar might build a palace equal In beauty or even superior for some rival ruler. Tbe more he thought over it the more Jealous he became until one day he ordered tbe architect to be thrown from tba top of the palace to make certain that no duplicate palace would be made. After this the king was sat isfied that bis palace was the only one, and tbe Arabians regarded It as one of the wonders of the world. Fast and Slow.

It Differs From an Insect In Five Main Particulars. ' Tbe spider is not an Insect, though probably nine people out of ten would class it under this term. WItb scor pions and mites spiders form a class in the animal kingdom known as aracb nida. This name is derived from a mythical personage called Aracbne. the daughter of a purple dyer of Ly dla, who was fabled to have chal lenged Minerva to a trial of skill in spinning. So Indignant was tbe god dess at this act of boldness that she forthwith transformed the hapless challenger Into a spider, presumably In order tbat she might have the best possible opportunity of practicing tbe art on which she prided herself so much. Spiders differ from Insects In five main particulars. Their eyes are slm pie iustead of compound, they have eight legs in place of six, tbey do not pass through the metamorphoses which are characteristic of Insects. tbey have no antennae and their breathing Is accomplished by means of organs which combine tbe functions of lungs and gills instead of by tubes pervading their bodies. These points of distinction are suflicient to deter mine the fact that It is Impossible to class spaders as Insects. The "Picket." The picket was generally inflicted on cavalry and artillery men and was a singularly brutal bit of torture. A long post, near which stood a stool, was driven Into tbe ground. Tbe delinquent was ordered to mount the stool, and bis right band was fastened to a book In the post by a noose, drawn up as high as It could be stretched, round bis wrist A stump the height of tbe stool, with its end cut to a round and blunt point, was also driven Into the earth close to tbe post. Then tbe stool was taken away, and the sufferer had notta ing to rest his bare feet upon but tbe stump, "which, though it did not usu ally, break tbe skin," says Captain Grose, "put him In great torture, bis only means of relief being by resting his weight on bis wrist, tbe pain of which soon became intolerable." One can very well believe him, especially when he makes tbe addition tbat a man was not Infrequently left to stand In this position for half an bour, al though tbe orthodox period of endur ance was fifteen minutes.

Mrn. women and children would re gard Having- as a game and play it with ull their heart. There are penny savings banks where newsboys and bootblacks carry their tiny savings, but other children regard their penny hank at home with unfriendly eyes. There are working girls who put away .their live cent pieces and fatten their small bank accounts by walking Instead of riding and making other petty .sacri fices. But the majority of working girls spend us fast as they can earn and declare that they cannot help It. One reads of a man who began his career by regarding every, dollar as a worker and getting all the profit he could. WItb that quaint conceit in his head saving became a pleasure, and he won riches without realizing that It was n struggle. I know of more than one woman who receives each night from her husband every dime he has received in change through the day, for be Is careful to avoid spending such a piece of money. These, with her own savings In the same direction, make a respectable weekly showing. Kansas City Journal. Only Seeking Information. The uverage New York boy is not a wonder of wit and wisdom, but most of them know n good thing when they see It. Also the contrary. Not long ago one of them saw a sign in front of a Sixth avenue place. "Boy Want ed." lie was looking for something of that kind and walked In. There was nobody In sight, and lie stood gaz ing. Presently the proprietor, a most grouchy person, appeared. "What do you want here?" he In quired with scant courtesy. "Well," replied the boy, disturbed by the man's manner and hesitating, "do you want a boy here?" "That's what the sign says, don't it?" snapped tbe man. - "Yep," responded the boy, getting bis second wind. "Then we want a boy." "Aw right," grinned the boy, back ing away. "You git one. You can't have me," ond he wiggled his fingers at tbe man and went out quickly. New York Herald. Tire Themselves Getting- Ready. Washington Irving tells a story of a man who tried to jump over a hill. He went back so far to get his start for the great leap and ran so hard that he was completely exhausted when he came to the hill and had to lie down and rest.

The average author would probably laugh at tbe statement tbat at one time In the world's bUtory manu scripts, simply as sucb, Irrespective of the nature of the text, were Immense-; ly valuable. In ancient times manu scripts were Important articles from a commercial point of view. They were excessively scarce and were preserved with tbe utmost care. Even tbe usur ers were glad to lend money on them when the owners were obliged to offer them In pawn. It Is related In an ancient tome that a student of Pavla, who was reduced by bis debaucheries, raised a new fortune by leaving In pawn a manuscript of a body of law. and a grammarian who was ruined by a fire rebuilt his bouse with two small volumes of Cicero through the ready aid of the pawnbroker.

Marcus Aurellus. Vengeance should be left to women. -Petrarch. .. George Til. and the Wigmakert. When - George UK ascended tbe fliroue of England bis Wealthy sub jects were beginning to leave off wigs and to nppear iu their owu balr, "If tbey had auy." As tbe sovereign wus himself one of the offenders, the per uke makers, wbo feared a serious loss of trade, prepared a petition lu which they prayed his majesty to be gra ciously pleased to "shave bis bead" for the good of distressed workmen and wear a wig, as bis father bad done be fore him. When tbe petitioners walked to the royul palace, however. It was noticed that they wore no wigs themselves. As this seemed unfair to the onlook ers they seized several of the leading processionists and cut their balr with any Implement tbat came most readily to band. From tbls Incident arose a host of curious, caricatures. The wooden leg makers were said to hate especial claims on tbe king's consideration, In asmuch as the conclusion of peace bud deprived them of a profitable source of employment; hence the suggestion that his majesty should uot only wear a wooden leg himself, but enjoin tho people to follow bis laudable example. As Others See CI t. "Tbe man wbo can pleiT out the best picture of himself is u rare bird," said a photographer. "Even an author, wbo is reputedly a poor judge of bis own work, exercises vast wisdom in select ing bis best book compared wltb the person 'who tries to choose his best photograph. Every famous man or woman who has been photographed repeatedly bas bis or her favorite pic ture. . Usually It is tbe worst in the collection. It shows him or her jkUu an unnatural expression, slttiug or standing In an unnatural attitude. The Inability to judge of bis best pic ture must be due to tbe average man's Ignorance of bow he renlly looks, or perhaps it can be partly attributed to a desire to look other than be does. A stout man will swear that the photo graph most nearly like him Is the one tbat makes him look thin, a thin man the one tbat makes him look stout the solemn man selects tbe jolllest picture, the jovial man the most cadaverous. Philadelphia Ledger. A Famous Quotation. A story about Keats is quoted by the late Sir Benjamin Ward Richard son In bis "Lives" of disciples of Aesculapius. Mr. Stephens, a friend of tbe doctor, once told htm that one evening at twilight 'when be and Keats were sitting together in their studeut days, Stephens at his medical books, Keats engrossed In bis dream ing, Keats called out to bis friend that be had composed a new line "A thing of beauty Is a constant joy." "What think you of tbat, Stephens?" "It has tbe true ring, but is wanting In some way," replies tbe latter as be dips once more Into his medical stud ies. An Interval of silence, and again tbe poet " 'A thing of beauty Is a Joy for ever.' What think you of that, Ste phens?" "That it will live forever." A happy prophecy Indeed! The Forests on tht Niger. Tbe bisects of Africa are expert dis ease carriers, and tbey come In such numbers on the Niger tbat one hardly dares to use one's lamp or go too near a light of any sort at nlgbt.

Yet tbe first three days on the Niger, with all its mud and Its smell and Its mangrove files and Its frogs and Its crickets, are enougb to give the newcomer an Inkling of the drawing power, the fascination, of what Is probably the most unhealthy country in the world.
