Id connection with the opening

VALUE OF WALKINti.
Benefits to Be Derived From This Form
of Exercise.
There is hardly an mstauce of
a long lived man who has not been
for the best part of his life a brisk
walker, and for some reason or
other has had to take exercise
pretty well every day.
Riding is all very well and so
are other exercises, but there is
nothing like a good walk, because
it stimulates the blood and the
muscles and necessitates being
in tin open air.
If those who complain of being
stout would only think of this

tional they would be amply re
warded. It will keep them young
and their figures preseutable.
It is simply a remedy that no
one heeds to. Sitting about in
the openair is all very well and
is lar better than sitting in the
house, but it does not keep you
in good health.

Wedding Was Mad. At Home la
Mlssonri.
On Wednesday evening, Sep
tember 18th, the home of Mrs.
Mary Prances Praker, Port Lit
tleton, was the scone of a very
impressive, although quiet, wed
ding, when her grand daughter,
Miss Emma Lyle, became the
bride of Lift Herbert Lee McKib

The beautiful ring ceremony
of the MethodistEpiscopalchurch
was performed by Rev. Charles
Bryner.
( wiug to the serious illness of
the bride, the large number of
invi ations which had been issu
ed for the wedding were recalled,
and only the immediate relatives
of the young couple were present.
Mrs. McKibbiu is one of Dub
lin township's most estimable
young ladies, who by her amia
ble disposition and lovely Chris
tian character, it endeared to a
wide circle of friends, while Mr.
McKibbin is one of McConnells
burg's capable young men.
The happy couple were the re
cipients of a large number of use
ful and costly presents.
Upon the recovery of the bride,
Mr. and Mrs. McKibbin will take
up their residence in Clayton,
Mo , where the groom has a lu
crative position, and we bespeak
for them a future of happiness
and prosperity in their distant
home.

APPLES AS MEDICINE.
Valuable From Scientific Point of View.
Says N. V. Popular Science Monthly.
Chemically, the apple is com
posed of vegetable fiber, albumen,
sugar, rum, chlo. ophyll, malic
acid, gallic acid, lime and much
water. Furthermore, the Ger
man analysts say that the appl"
contains a larger percentage of
phosphorus than any other fruit
or vegetable. The phosphorus
is admirably adapted fwr renew
ing essential nervous matter,
lethicin, of the braiu and spinal
cord. It is, perhaps, for the
same reason rudely understood,
that old Scandinavian traditions
represent the apple as the food
of the gods, who, when they felt
themselves to be growing old and
feeble and infirm, resorted to this
fruit for renewing their powers
of mind and body. Also, the ac
ids of the apple are of signal use
for men of sedentary habits,
whose livers are sluggish lii ac
tion, those acids serving to elimi
nate from the body noxious mat
ters, which, if retained, would
make the brain heavy and dull,
or bring about jaundice or skin
eruptions and other allied trou
bles. Some such an experience must
have led to our custom of taking
apple sauce with tich p irk, rich
goose, and like dishes. The mal
ic acid of ripe apples, either raw
or cooked, will ueutrahze any ex
ces of chalky matter engendered
by eating too much meat. It is
also the fact that such fresh
fruits as the apple, the pear, and
the plum, when taken ripe and
without sugar, dimi'iish acidity
iu the stomach rather than pro
voke it. Their vegetable salts
and juices are converted into al
kaline carbonates, which tend to
counteract acidity.
A go'id, ripe, raw apple is one
of the easiest of vegetable sub
stances for the stomach to deal
with, the whole process of its di
gestion neing Completed in eighty
five minutes.

Chance For a Home Run.
A clever teacher who has the
power of calling out originality
in her pupils, says that she would
havo no use for text books if she
took time to answer all the start
ling questions asked in the class
room. One day the attraction of
gravitation was under discussion
when one of the boys said that he
didn't see any noed of it, anyway.
"It seems to me," said he,
"there's no particular use in hav
ing the earth attract things. Now
when the apple fell and made
Newton think out the reason for
it, that apple might just as well
have stayed where it was until
somebody gathered it."

asked the teacher. "Well, sup
pose you knock the boll very
high, what happens 1"'
"It falls."
"But if there were no attrac

fall. Don't you think that might
prove inconvenient 1"'
