Why Currants Are Nutritious. The reason why currants arp so remarkably nutritious is that they consist, to a very large de gree, of saccharine in its most easily digestible form that of grape sugar. The piquant llavor of the currant, which adds so much to its pleasantness as a food, is derived from the valuable percentage of tartaric acid which the berry contains. Potash is also present in the form of cream of tarter and 18 undoubtedly of dietic value.---Ladies' Pictorial. "Mary Said Nothing." Justice Brewer of the United States Supreme Court is said to be the author of this story: A witness testified in a certain case that a person named Mary was present when a particular con versation took place, and the question wai asked, "What did Mary say?" This was objected to, and after some Mscussion the Judge ruled out the question. An exception to this decision was immediately taken, and on appeal the higher court leversed the verdict and order-id a new trial on the ground that the question Khould have open answered. At the second trial the same iii(iuiy was propounded and elicited the information that "Mary said liothing." Local Option Seems To Be Misunder stood By A Very Large Percent age of People. Local option is just what these two words moan, an option on that which is local. L ical option is an expression of public opinion on interests that are purely local in their nature and influeueo. I-iocal optio.i is a legal, deliber ate and unified declaration of judgment, as to what will and what will not conserve the gener al good of a town, or city, or county. Local option expresses approval or disapproval of the sale of any or all intoxicants, and is now used m this resti icted sense. It is safe, because it secures that, for which it asks, only on principles of equity, and a con sideration of the rights of others Local optiou coerces no on It interferes with no man's pri vate judgment, uor with any re ligious or political preferences. It is just, because it accords to its opponents all the privileges it claims for its advocates. Local option never violates either social or thical conditions. Local option is distinctively American in conception and prac tice, because it acknowledges not only the propriety, but the abso lute necessity of the majority ruling. It is a minimizer of crime, and an economizer of taxes and public mone.vs. It lifts bur deus and sins, placed on com munities and individuals by the liquor traffic. One ot the strongest argu ments in favor of local option is that wherever it has once been tried, and its economic blessings been enjoyed, it remains as a perman ent benediction to that commun ity, unless removed by dishonest and unfair means. Walnut Grove Campmeeting. The Walnut Grove Campmeet ing will commence Friday even ing August 7 and close Sunday evening August 1(5.

Deak Editor News i My interest in Big Trees never abates; so, when I read in your pajier of ecent is sue that one of your denizens, M. F. Dovle, had recently put the tape about several tine specimens on the farm of Mr. Henry, which bounds your citjj ou the North, I experienced a gladsome feeling that you have, at least, one per son amongst yru whose eye is not shut to size aud i.eauty in the vegetable kingdom. Last sum mer, my wife and I while invest! gating the flora of your region, paid our respects to Mr. Doyle's trees by visiting them ou several occasions. The Slippery Elm, standing out in the open, .-onehing upward toward Heaven to such majestic height, silei t, solitary like to a sentiuel on guard is not this tree a "thing ot beauty?" Especially at night, when the cloudless skv is stud ded with stars, and the full or bed inoon shines bright in her ineffable glory? How many Mc Concellsburgers have seen this tine tree? at their very doors? Mr. Doyle names one of the trees he measured a Sugar Maple. 1 think ho is mistaken iu this. In our three huudred and more miles of travel up and down the Cove, my wife and I did not see a Sugar Maple, am almost certain that the tree in question is I Red, or Silver Maple. A leal from it will easily disclose its identity who will seud me 8 leaf? Another fear I have is, thai the girths named an - greater thau the actual will Mr. Doyle please experiment again? So far as I now recall, the largest tree which came under my observation in your region is the White Oak, which stands in a lane, near to Cove road in the vicinity of Union Cemetery four miles south oi McConnellsburg. 1 didnotmeas ure this tree, but my strong lm pressiou is that, four to six feet from the ground, its girth is no mere than twelve or thirteen feet who will ascertain? There is an other White Oak, near your res ervoir, of about the same girth I could mention other line trees I saw in the Cove, but I was dis appoiuted at hudiug them invaria blv of smaller size than they grow here. Trusting that every body In Fulton county, including teachers, will become tree lovers, if only to have" them from ihe woodman's axe, 1 am, Sincerely, yours, W. F. Hl.'CiHKS. Since the above was put in type, Mr. Doyle has gone back and given the trees mentioned by Mr. Hughes, a more careful examination und meas urement, with the following result: The Sugar Maple, for Mr. Doyle is still of the of the opinion thut It is a Sngur, which opinion is strengthened by the fact that the tree had been tap ped and u crock placed under it into which the sugar water (up) had been running. Taking a line and again measuring carefully he found the girth four feet from the ground on the low er side to be 1" feet, 8i inches. The Elm, referred to above he found upon remeiisuring, to be 15 feet, 3 Inches, ;i feet from the ground. Mr Doyle measured an oak in Mr. Henry's woods, that had a girth of 12 feet li inches, -J feel from the ground. On Judge Morton's farm east of town stands an Kim with a girth of LI feet X Inches-2J feet from ttfc ground. The l!eervoir oak, referred to by Mr. Hughes is 14 feet 4 inches, 2 feet 8 Indies from the ground. Mr. Doyle says that, as time will permit, he will go down to the oak iu tne lane near the Union cemetery, and see just how large it is. Edi iou.
