long corridors of memory. It seem-
ed to me as though I had gone back
to the Ulna when I myself, gowned
and caved, was marching with the

That graduation scene was a sad
time for many of us. College af-
fections aro very stroog. We young
men knew that Nee should never be
to each other the same again.
Then, as I sat in the quiteude of
my study with the hopes and anxie-
ties of my own graduation day
Passieg in review before me. I said
to myself, "I wonder if some of the
young people whom t know and
love who are graduating from
.schoot or college this June mouth
would not like me to come and sit
by their side and tell them what the
commencement exercises truly mean
In their lives." I wondered as I
sat tbere holding that invitation in
nay hand if 1 could not at this cri-
tical time of their 1 IN -es say some-
thing to inspire them, to nerve
them and to encourage them not
only with faith in themselves, but
also with faith in (lore and I bow-
ed my head over that white invita-
tion antt made this simple, earliest
prayer: "0 (lod, heip inc to say

I congratulate the young men and

gone for the sake of alt education

Heretofore you were only looked up-

anything wrong in the past, the
world was very apt to pardon you,
saying: "Well, it was the action of e,

VIRTUES OP TlefE PINEAPPLE.
Juice Contains an Active Diges-
tive Principle.
The partaking of a slice of pine-
apple uttera meal 'is quite in ac-
cordance with physiological iodic/I-
tems since, though IL may not be
generally known, fresh, pineapale'
juice contaius a remarkably active
digestive principle similar to pepsin.
says the Lancet, This principle has
been termed "bromelin" aud so
powerful is its action upon proteins
that, it will digebt as much as 1,000
Mines its weight within 0, few home.
Its digestite activity varies 111 ac-
cordance evith the kind of proteid to
which it is subjected. Fibrin dis-
tweeters eueirely after n. thee. With
the coagulatecl albumen of eggs the
digestive process is slow ; while with
the albumen of meat its action
a jlUlpy
gela-
tiltOUs mass, winch, howeter, com-
pletely dissolves atter a short time.
When o, slice of fresh pineapple is
placed upon a raw beefsteak the sur-
face of the steak becomes get -Levelly
gelatinous owing to the digestive
action of the enzyme of the Juice.
Of course it is well known that di-
gestit e tgents exist also in other
fruits, but when it is considered that
an average sized pineapple will yield
nearly two pints of juice, it will be
sten that the digestive action, of tho
whole fruit ,must be enormous. The
activity el this peculiar digestive
agott is destroyed in the cooked
pbteapple, but unless the pineotple
is preservesi by heat there is no rem -
son wily the tinned fruit sbould not
retain the digestive power. The
active digestive principle may be
obtained from tho pace by dissolving
a large quantity of conanon salt in
it when a precipitate is obtaine)1
possessing the remarkable digestive
powers just described.
Unlike the pepsin, the digestive
principle of the pineapple will 01 er-
ate in an acid, imutral, or even
alkaline medium, accordieg to the
kind of proteid to winch it is pre-
sented. It now therefore be assum-
ed that the pineapple enzyme would
not onty aid the work of digestion
in the stomach, but would continue
thet action in the intestinal triton
Pineapple, it may be added, con-
tains much indigestible matter of the
nature of wootey fibre, but it is
quite possible that the decidedly di-
gestive properties of the juice com-
pensate for this fact..
THE 1304' AND THE GIRL.
Germany has just sot about a.scor-
leaning the value of the testimony of
children in eases of identification.
Into each public school of South
Germany Was brought a man of or-
dinary appearance. and dressed in
working man'a clothes. Classes of
girls and boys of different ages were
made to walk slowly through the
roam, in at ono door and out at an-
other, and afterwards requiredto
write a description of the man as
they saw him. Of the girls eighty
per cent. described Ine clothes with
Mir accuracy, but said nothing
about Ins face or general app.earance.
The other twenty per cent. described!
with less accuracy both face and
clothes, but not 01100 °Mined herself

FOR THE GIRLS.
A girl's idea of neatness Is some-
thing like the ostrich's idea of con-
cealment—he win hicle his head in
the sand and rest in the comfore
that* he has eluded observation,
writes Margaret Hamilton Welch in
Harper's 13azar. Often girls who
Wash their hair persistently give
never a, thought to the care of the
brushes and combs. A :medalist
says: that hairbrushes should be
washed once a week at least, and if
used on hair in which there is much
dandruff, twice a week is not too 15f-,
tone. It is the simplest of opera-
tions with'running water, a con-
venience of almost every home now-
adays. Have the cleansing warm,
no4 hot, barely tepid, and add to a
quart of wilier of this temperature 11
scant tablespoon of cloudy am-
Menia. This is better than the
clear ammonia. Take care that the
backs of the brushes are not im-
mersed, are not even even if possible,
and after two or three clippings
rinse the bristles by applying the
hand shower or turning on the cold
water faucet. Water thus forced
rinses most thoroughly. Stand the
brushes on edge in the air to dry,
The dressing combs need quite as
much attention, the seridees of a
comb cleaner 'being needed to keep
theno free from the accumulating
dust. While we are at the toilet
stand glance at the soap dish. Are
you careful to rinse the soap cake
every time it is used before it is re-
turned to the soap dish? lizaidy
ergo) dishes and cakes of soap with
crusted suds upon them can be found
in many otherwise neat homes.

uNcr...n REFUSED THE BAIT. 1
Some time ago a Scotsm8,n—the1
uncle of a young couple—took up his
quarters with them to spend, as he
said, "a short holiday."
After a week or two had passed
the young couple got tired of their )
guest, and they made up a plan to.
get rid of "uncle" without offending '
him.
"I'll tell you what," said the
husband, "tonnorrow, at dinner,
