Importnucc ol Fruit An >'oo?I. In the Popular Science Monthly, for September, H. Benjatield, an Austral- | ian medical man, writing on fruit as food and medicine, declares that the Creator is so anxious that this very j necessary food shall he eaten by his creatures tbat he makes it beautiful to ] look upon, sweet and attractive in 1 smell, and gives to it such varieties of flavor that the most fastidious can be satisfied. And yet, in spite of all this, the great mass ot the people look upon fruit as a luxury upon which they can only spend .idd pennies for tbe amusement of their children. And as for the , amount of drugs swallowed which should be replaced in great measure by fruit it is beyond any power to calculate. Millions upon millions of money * are spent annually upon mercurial and otter purgatives, most of which would be quite unnecessary if the people * ^..1.1 11 ?.nn frinf qc n TlfPPV WUU1U UUt iwua up?m uiui %%..* ?sary article of diet. Lemon juice has been recommended as a'specific for rheumatism. Garrod, the great London authority on gout, advises his patients to take oranges, lemons, strawberries, grapes, apples, pears, etc. Tardieu, the great French authority, maintains that the salts of potash found so plentiful in fruits are the chief agents in purifyiug the blood from those rheumatic and gouty poisons. Perhaps in our unnatural, civilized society, sluggish action of t he J bowels aud liver is responsible for) more actual misery than any other ailment. Headache, indigestion, constipation, hemmorhoids and a general-! ]y miserable condition are but too of-} ten the experience of the sufferer, aud to overcome it about half the drugs in ? the world a;e given in all sorts of com- ! pounds. j The writer mentioned says : "But the blood is the life, poor blond means: J poor spirits, poor strength, poor breath, J J and poor circulation, impure uioou i meaus gout, rheumatism, skin diseases I rickets aud other troubles. As it is proved that fruit will purify and im- , J>rove the quality of the blood, it must ollow that fruit is both food and J medicine combined. In fevers I usej grapes and strawberries, giviug themj to my patients iu small, but frequent; doses?oranges and baked apples, if the ( other are not obtainable. For rheuma- j tism, plenty of lemons are invaluable. , White girls with miserable, pallid complexions want a quart of strawberries; a day; where these are no obtainable, bananas, which contain much iron, are a good substitute. Probably, of oil fruits, the apple stauds unrivaled fori general puaposes iu the household ; either raw or cooked, it can be taken \ by nearly everybody, and it contains i similar properties to the other morede-, licate fruits. To my mind, the pear Is j more easily digested than the apple, and for eating uncooked it is superior to it." A favorite argument with the vege-1 tarian9 is tbat the strongest, the most j powerful and serviceable animals are j those which subsist wholly on vegetable food. The ox, the horse and the i elephant are examples. They are not only the most powerful and the most useful as beasts of burden, but a mo9t important quality is their tractability and amiability. If these animals were savage and ferocious as the carnivore, the meat-eaters, they would be wholly . unlit for the extreme usefulness of 1 their multifarious and invaluable services. When it comes to'the human races in a wild state, it will be found that the exclusive meat-eaters are always savage and ferocious, while those ' who subsist chiefly on fruits and vegetables are of a gentler disposition." Since the body of man is made out of the foods he eaU, it is plain that diet must have a very great deal to do with liis health, his physical strengtn, nis' mental and moral qualities. There-! fore, without being converted to any! special school of dietics, it must be ad-; mitted that fruit is a most valuable ai-j tide of food, and its use is to beencour-j aged under all proper conditions.?New j Orleans Picayune.

Foi j more than two years it has withstood j these attacks in all the courts of th< ; land, and the prediction has beet frequently made by its opponents that the bottom would be knocked out o the dispensary. Back and forth th< lawyers have rung the changes upoc its unconstitutionality, and the news ' papers have set the day for its flna i doom, but the law has persisted ir enforcing itself, and it never was ir better trim for a long life than at tlx ! present time. Judges and lawyers have tackled almost every provision o: the law, and except the restraining nrHpr of .Tudue Simon ton as to the im portation of liquor for personal use un ! der the limitation of five gallons, noi ' a hole has been made in the dispensary system. The latest effort to set aside the law has been under a test this week, anc while the proceedings are not final 01 conclusive, the indications are thai this vaunted method will fail tr accomplish its object. A citizen oi ' another State brings an action to recovI or damages under the anti-monopoly j law of Congress, because the dispellj sary authorities had seized and conlisJ cated a large quantity of liquor be longing to him. The whole question hinges upon the construction of the anti-monopoly law as to whether the State is ''a person, corporation or association." The showing made before Judge Simonton on behalf of the complainant was much weaker thar anticipated, and to a layman it is evident that there is even less in thit contention than some of its predeces sore. No one knows or has a right tc intfmate what will be the decisiou o Judge Simonton, but it is plain that; judgment against the dispensary law in this case would have to rest on oth er grounds than those relied upon it the argument. The State has mad< out a strong defence, and we do no expect to see any change take place it the administration of the dispensary . law when the decision is rendered * Citizens of adjoining States will stil I have to obey the laws of South Caro lina when on this side of the line. * ' jt. *J?no_pa|| nf 18D.1 Cotton is brlnglDg a good price and wean ready to help on tho good cause by Bellini good goods and selling them cheap.
