EVE’S WISDOM VINDICATED.
Now comes a physiologist, who, unlighted by the lamp of a fish diet, proclaims to mankind that apples are the proper food, after all, of the sedentary brain workers. The apple according to this observer, who obviously investigates things to the core, contains more phosphorus, or brain sustenance, than any other member of the vegetable republic ; therefore it is conducive to mental activity. There are grounds for crediting this, and grounds not wholly connects d with the Darwinian origin of species, either. It was from that old pippin in the orchard of Eden that the grand old gardener and his wife derived their first intellectual inkling, They were Simians, low browed, disagreeable, anthropoid apes. They took to a diet of apples, prepared for them by the same culinary artist who is now supposed to be ceaselessly occupied in “ cooking the goose ” of mankind, and lo ! as one flash intellect dawned upon them, and they found themselves, matrimonially speaking, the first phosphorus match ever arranged, with a lucifer to spare.
