LETTUCE AND SMALLPOX.
Everyone likes lettuce, and
s, ime of us get it most the year
round. Lobster, chicken and all
kinds of salad must be embellish
ed by it. In summer every gar
den has a bed of it and in winter
the green-house produces it. We
simpjy eat it because we like it
and never think of its medicinal
qualities. Now arises a physician
with the assertion that anyone
who eats lettuce every day will
never get the smallpox. Small
pox belongs to the scorbutic class
of diseases, like scurvy, and so
sailors and soldiers deprived of
common vegetables are afflicted
with these diseases. Smallpox
rages in winter, not because it is
inherently a cold weather disease
but because at that season of the
year poor people must go short
or almost entirely without, fresh
vegetable foods. Celery and on
ions are good for this purpose,
but there is such a long interval
between their being gathered and
being eaten that they lose most
of their anti-scorbuticjproperties.
Lettuce is served shortly after it
is picked, and hence contains the
valuable properties which will
prevent smallpox. After stating
the above as his premises the
learned physician draws this con
clusion, which is suggestive :
"We say without the least hesita
tion or reserve that lettuce will
prevent smallpox. It is a thous
and times bettor than vaccination.
It has no liabilities, like vacciaa
tion, to produce other diseases.
We are willing to stake our pro
fessional reputation on the broad
Btatoinont that anyone who eats
lettuce daily will uot catch small
pox, whether he be vaccinated or
not. " We give this for what it is
worth and not to boom the lettuce
market. Lot us cat the plant be
cause we like it and not forget
vaccination in the interim. Some
time ago it was stated that lemon
juico would prevent and cure ty
phoid fever. There is some truth
in this, but not enough to be prac
tical. Fad notions never produce
permanent results. Lancaster

MAKING LUSCIOUS NEW
FRUITS.
Ther soem.s to be scarcely a
limit to the wonders which may
be accomplished in the liue of
experimentation in which Dr.
Webber and hi fellow experts
are engaged, says the New York
Herald. It has been ascertained
recently, for example, that by
suitable grafting the potato plant
can be made to bear tomatoes
above ground while producing its
own tubers beneath the soil.
What a gain it will be to our
farmers if in the future they find
it practicable to raise crops of po
tatoes and tomatoes on the same
areas of ground, one above and
the other below.
These magicians who play such
wonderful tricks with plants have
recently evolved a new kind of
cherry tree, which seems to be
the cherry tree of the future.
Instead of bearing fruit in the
ordinary fashion, by twos and
threes, it produces them in large
and dense clusters, so that fifty
or sixty cherries sometimes grow
in a single bunch on a twig. The
cherries, too, are big and of re
markably fine flavor.
One of the most notable of re
cent achievements in this line is
the seedless grape which has at
last been successfully produced
iu California. There is an excel
lent commercial opportunity for
it, inasmuch as many people ob
ject to grapes on account of their
seeds, apart entirely from the
fear of swallowing them, which
has been mistakenly caused by
the appendicitis fad. Many of
the finest varieties of grapes, es
pecially those of the "meaty"
sort, have very large seeds which
on account of their size are really
objectionable.
That kind of work pays well,
inasmuch as there is always a
fortune in any new seedless truit.
Fortunately, the banana is al
ready seedless and has been so'
for centuries, though nobody
knows why. It is propagated by
suckers, and possibly it had no
seeds when it was first found in
the wild state. The banana is a
modified berry. Cutting the fruit
down through the middle you
will sometimes see a few little
brown spots, which are rudimen
tary seeds; but occasionally the
banana does actually produce
seeds. The pineapple is nearly
seedless, being propagated like
wise from suckers and from
slips.
Thorns are a nuisance on fruit
plants, and the plant wizards are
doing their best to get rid of
them, the means adopted being
simply to select for propagation
specimens which by chance hap
pen to be thornless or compara
tively so. In this way the rasp
berry is being freed of its thorns
Some oranges and lemons are
very thorny, for example, the
high priced King orange which
is the best of the madarins,
though rarely seen in our mar
kets. In Florida its thorniness
has been diminished by selecting
buds from branches with the
fewest thorns. The thorns in
this case are objectionable partly
because they puncture the oran
ges or lemons when the branches
are blown about by the wind.
In speaking of seedless fruits,
the navel orange must not be for
gotten. It is a freak of nature.
SAVES TWO FROM DEATH.
"Our little daughter had an al
most fatal, attack of whooping
cough and bronchitis," writes
Mrs. W. K. Hiviland, of Ar monk,
N. Y., "but, when all other reme
dies failed, we saved her life with
Dr. King's New Discovery. Our
niece, who had Consumption in an
advanced stage, also used this
wonderful medicine and today
she is perfectly well." Desperate
throat and lung diseases yield to
Dr. King's New Discovery as to
no other medicine on earth. In
