WHAT TO EAT. 'j Some Sensible Suggeatlons That tartUM Be Ported In Every Household. Aralstonite, writing in that excel* lent gastronomic journal. What to Eat, makes a few sensible suggestions in re gard to the diet that ought to be posted in every household. He says that the healthiest and purest lives come from those who do not eat meat before the age of 15. Potatoes, sliced thin and fried, are in digestible. While tasting delicious, they afford no real nourishment and cause a derangement of the liver. Cake clogs the stomach. All rich pastry is poison to the liver. Soft cara mels and creams are also bad for any one with a liver at all rebellious. When you get old, look out for your food. Do you every notice that grand father’s face is not as jolly'as it used to be? His strength of mind also seems slowly disappearing, though he is get ting fleshier every day. He needs a change of food. Probably be has been eating buckwheat cakes and sirup, white bread and butter,, sugar, fat meats, eta. Give him lean meat and fish, cracked wheat and potatoes, barley cakes, rye bread or southern corn cakes. Try it, and instead of mopihg and sitting round the house all day you will find him run ning around lively as a cricket Maybe, on the contrary, he is growing thin and pale. Then he needs buck wheat and molasses, fat meats, mashed potatoes in milk, northern corn, cracked wheat and fish, oatmeal porridge and fruits every morning. All rules have their exceptions, and the diet described for the mass may not answer for exceptional cases, but the following directions are good for the majority: Milk is the simplest and most natural food. If you cannot drink it, your stom ach is in a diseased condition. Cheese is a good substitute, if mild, fresh and made from pure milk and cream. Per sons who live mostly on vegetables have the best nerves and the best complex ions. Bed pepper is an excellent condi ment Its effect upon the liver is re markable. Malaria, intermittent fever or congestive chills cannot endure the presence of red pepper. Pure red pepper (known as cayenne) should be on every table. 11l health is caused largely by im proper food or I y food which is in a bad condition when it is eaten. * AlO CENT QUEEN. Ono Who la Shipped All Over the World In b Box. Imagine a queen traveling around the world on 10 cents! It seems preposter ous, and yet it is a fact. There is a cer tain man, according to the St Louis Re public, who will do this for any one whojwill send him an order, whether it comes from England, China or any oth er foreign country, ahd he says: “I have frequent demands from all parts of the world. You see, I send these queens as follows: You will notice that there are two little circular apart ments in this royal carriage, ” and he produced a little wooden box, “one in which the queen is kept and the other for her suit. The little plug in the cen ter of the box is solidified, candied honey, which will furnish food to the regal party until they arrive at their destination. “The compartments are covered with a fine wire gauze to prevent the escape of the insects. “This large one in the first compart ment, the one with the delicately shaped, long body and beautiful markings, is an Italian queen bee, and she is valued at $lO. I have queens valued all the way from $2 to $25. “The others, in the second compart ment, are the suit or worker bees, that will accompany her on the trip, not only for company, but also for the heat they will produce to keep her comfortable on the stormy voyage over the great, cold seas. ‘ ‘After we have the bees safely stow ed away in their proper compartments, we switch the little lid around and fasten it with a tiny screw at the ends, and on its top surface the address of the consignee is written, the stamp is affix ed, and away goes her majesty, a queen sold into slavery for the trifling sum of $lO and sent to her destination on a 10 cent stamp. “Bee culture has grown so rapidly in the United States that there are few farmers now who have not a substantial apiary and who do not net a handsome income each year from the honey the bees yield, and besides the farmers there are thousands of gentlemen and ladies who are apiarists purely from the fas cination the hobby affords.” A Peculiar Accident. That one cannot be too careful in handling anything belonging to elec trical plants is demonstrated by the fire that consumed one of the power houses of the Union Traction company in Philadelphia. At the hour of closing an employee swung an enoromus crane to which was attached a very heavy chain. The chain struck a generator and shivered it to fragments. A terrific explosion followed every circuit, and all the dynamos which were muning were blown out Fixe immediately fol lowed the explosion, and the dynamos, of which there were eight, were either destroyed or disabled, and the entire in side of the building was cleared out The loss was something like $500,000, largely on the valuable machinery in the building.—New York Ledger. Doing Well. “How long have you been patroniz ing that new laundry, Moley?” “Can’t be over a month. I’ve only had to buy three new outfits of linen.” —Detroit Free Press. I have always thought that what was good was only what was beautiful pot in action.—Rousseau. Every man is a king in his own back yard.—Ram’s Horn. =S. AGURAI IN MAROCCO.H The Whole Population of the TUwu/la Descended From Ronegndeo. Agura is a small town surrounded with walls of from 40 to 50 feet in height and built of tabla, or con solidated rubble. It owes its existence to Mulai Ismail, who held the throne Os Marocco from 1722-1747. One gate Slone gives entrance to the place, and in this respect, as well as in its archi tecture within and without, it much resembles the “ksor” of the Sahara de scribed in the writer’s “Tafllet” But it own/one feature of curiosity which was lacking in the desert, for almost without exception the entire population are descendants of the renegades and Christian slaves of the time of Mulai Ismail, with the addition of stray rene gades who have been sent there since. Probably no such cosmopolitan place exists in the world, for its 800 or 400 inhabitants are representative of no less than 18 nationalities. Each family re members and is proud of its origin, the Arab equivalent being applied as sur names. The family in whose home the writer spent the few days of his visit wew Flemish, while the next door neighbor on one aide was an elderly female, whose father, an Englishman, had be come a renegade some 80 years since, and who quickly tired of it, leaving a wife and daughter, the neighbor in question. The other neighbors were the descendants of Spanish gypsies, the head of the family being “Absalom ben Mohammed el Gitano el Espanoli. ” They were particularly proud of the “Gitano” (gypsy) part of the surname and begged me not to confound them with the ordinary Spaniards, of whom there were many descendants in Agurai. The ancestor of this gypsy family was two generations back. He had left his country, they naively told the writer, because he wasnot on good terms with his sultan, who Wanted to imprison him, being afraid of his influence. Prob ably it was more of an affair of the po lioeoourts than political intrigue. The "Ulad el Aluj” (“sons of the converts”), as the inhabitants of Agurai are called, have entirely, except in one' or two cases, lost the type of their Eu ropean ancestry, and through marriage, no doubt, are as largely Berber in ap pearance as the wild tribes that sur round them. The/ speak among them selves both Arabic and Berber, and both, curiously enough, with a strong foreign accent, easily distinguishable. They are exempt from all taxation, but have to serve in the sultan’s army, where they perform the duties of cooks and butchers.—Geographical Journal. COURIERS BACK NUMBERS. Ko Longer Any Need to Go Through Eu rope With Them. Up to times within tfce memory of living men almost no one of means traveled through Europe without a courier. Before railroads were built and before good guidebooks were print ed he was almost indispensable. His tribe survives, but in greatly dimin ished numbers. To the self reliant trav eler he is of no use whatever. Indeed he is frequently a positive incumbrance, and worse. To my mind one of the great pleasures of travel is in learning to travel by myself. There are satisfac tion, pleasure and education in plan ning routes, deciphering time tables, making bargains, learning by observa tion the lay of the land. The time may have been when a courier could save a traveler more than his cost. Most certainly that is not the case now. On the contrary, as he gets a percentage on every purchase his party makes, which, of course, comes out of the purchaser in increased price, and as it is often for his interest to advise the more costly route, the more costly hotel or the more costly excursion, he eats up much more than his wages, while saving positively nothing. Bean declares that in a two weeks’ trip in southern Spain, which he made side by side with a couple having a courier, he' invariably reached the hotel first, got better rooms and saw all the sights to as good advantage, yet the courier was, of his kind, an expert The fact is that travel has become so general, tourist companies, railroads and landlords have so well studied its needs, books are so plentiful, that you couldn’t very well get off the track or have a mishap if you tried. —Herbert Luce in “Going Abroad.” Whkt He Played. A member of a military band at a certain barrack came to the surgeon re cently with a long face and a plaintive story about a sore throat “Sore throat eh,” said the surgeon pleasantly. “Let me see. Oh, that’s not so bad. A slight irritation; nothing more. You’ll be all right in a day or two. I think you had better take no risk in renewing the trouble by using your throat, though, so I will recom mend you for a fortnight’s sick leave. V Armed with the surgeon’tf certificate, the bandman obtained his two weeks’ sick leave. The two weeks had just come to an end when he met the sur geon on the parade ground. The band man saluted. The surgeon recognized the face and stopped. “How’s the throat?” he asked pleas antly. “It’s quite well, sir,” was the reply. “That’s good,” said the surgeon. “You can get back to your duty with out fear. By the way, what instrument do you handle in the band?” ‘ ‘The small dram, sir, ” said the mu sician. —Chicago News. From the top of the cathedral spire in Mexico you can see the entire city, and the most striking feature of the view is theabsence of chimneys. There is not a chimney in all Mexico, not a grate nor a stove nor a furnace. All the cook ing is done with charcoal in Dutch ovens. 1 Bowling, billiards and card playing are unlawful in Michigan, according to some dead letter statutes. • I THE CZAR’S CURIOSITY. He Destroyed Bis Daochter's Doll to See Hew the Mechanism Worked. The heavy burden of autocracy has not destroyed all the boyish instincts in Nich olas Il’s disposition, as the following an ecdote, heard at a dinner party given in honor of a gentleman of M. Fame's escort in his late journey, proves: The president, after having searched all the best Parisian shops to find some toys worthy of the two little grand duchesses’ acceptance, and, having bought the everlasting golden rattle for Miss Tatiana, was in despair for some thing out of the common to give Miss Olga. He at last chose two wonderful dolls, ono got up as an elegant lady, the other as an overdressed little girl, and, after much difficulty a most complicated piece of machinery was inserted, thanks to which, when wound up, the lady nnd her daughter begin a ludicrous bit of con versation, which is finished by the little girl crying because she is not allowed to ride a donkey on account of her gauze dress. The baby grand duchess was delighted, but not more so than her father, who, it appears, spent an hour on the floor with the child listening to the squeaky dia logue between the dolls. But the time came when the princess had to go to bed, which she did very reluctantly. As for the emperor, he remained an instant in the boudoir after her departure with the two clever artificial ladles who had taken his fancy, while the empress, M. Fauro and some ladies and gentlemen of the court were talking in the next room. Sud denly a strange noise like that of an infer nal machine was heard, followed by a loud cry of dismay, and everybody rushed to see what it was. There was the emperor safe and sound, but with a dismal face, looking at the dolls, which he had partly undressed to find out the secret hidden in their bosoms, while the doll? were chattering away as if they would never stop. The empress, un able to restrain her temper, snatched up the carpeted board on which were stand-, ing and shaking the two precious ladies, and after having crushed her husband with a withering eye she said to a gentle man near her: “Please send this away. It is too bad indeed. The emperor spoils everything he touches.” But Nicholas looked so penitent and the mishap was so funny that she could not help laughing.— Philadelphia Times. When Was the Bible Completed? Scholars differ in opinion as to the date at which the books now found in the Now Testament were completed, but it is prob able that this was accomplished not later than 180. Many centuries had passed in the formation of the Old Testament, but the New was all written within a single 100 years. The decision as to which books should be received into the new canon was not so quickly reached, for the earliest fa thers of the church frequently quote from other gospels, such as one “according to the Egyptians,” or “according to the He brews, ” and the Syrian church accepted some books not received by that'of north Africa or the western church and vice versa. There is a legend that at the first ecumenoial council of Nicaea, 825, copies of all the Christian literature then current were laid beneath the altar and the gen uine books leaped out of the mass and ranged themselves on the altar. It prob- - ably contains a germ of the trutb*-that at this convocation it was decided that the books now received were apostolic or writ ten under apostolic direction, and the oth ers were spurious. Be this as it may, the judgment of several generations of Chris tians certainly decided upon the value of these books as distinguished from many others written at about that later, and the council of Carthage (397) is said to have fixed the canon. The word “can on” was first used by Athanasius, in the fourth century, in the sense of “accepted” or “authorized,” and Jerome and Augus tine held the present New Testament as canonical.—Clifton Harby Levy in Ameri can Monthly Review of Reviews. The Evil of Trade Unionism. We are not disputing here the right of workmen to combine for the advancement and protection of their craft. Nor is it to be denied that such right carries with it the right for each trade union to make such rules and regulations aS it deems fit for its own members. Where the mischief begins is when trade unions seek to make rules which fetter other workmen and which tie the hands of employers. And where trade unionism begins to be abso lutely destructive in its effects on industry is where, on the one hand, it endeavors to make a close corporation by limiting the number and restricting the employment of apprentices, and where, on the other hand, It restricts the labor of the most competent to the capacity of the most idle and least efficient. All this trade unionism does. Overtime is objected to because, it is alleged, it di minishes the number that may be employ ed. But if overtime is not worked orders cannot be executed within the time in which they are required. Therefore, the orders will cease to come, and because Bill was not allowed to work extra hours Jack, Tom and Jim will not be able to get work at all.—Benjamin Taylor in Cassler’s Magazine. Bothschild’s Error. It may require as much Imagination to draw pleasure out of an unspent dollar as it does to get it from an unsmelled flower, or an unkissed love, or any of the unexist ing realities that poets deal in. Many a laborious and ascetic financier must live in a world of Imagination, a commercial dream, as little tangible as that of the poet. “My food and lodging are all I get for my wealth, ” said the elder Rothschild. He was mistaken; he forgot his dream of wealth. He, too, was one of the poets of a financial age. Nor, lastly, can it be that the delight of giving one self up to an impassioned thought, of which one is as sure as death and for which one is willing to die, is not still, as it always has been, the keenest pleas ure of a human soul.—H. G. Chapman in Atlantic. St. Paul and Minneapolis. Fifteen years ago Chicago was the great' central wheat market of the west Even as late as four years ago its wheat receipts were over 50,000,000 bushels, but in 1890 they had declined to 19,101,152 bushels, while the wheat receipts of Minneapolis were 69,568,870 bushels and those of Dq luth and Superior 56,607,897—the total of the two cities being 126,176,267 bushels, or six times and a half the Chicago receipts. These figures tell their own story of the shifting of the trade currents of west to their natural channels and go far to explain the remarkable growth of St. Paul and Minneapolis from a population of 88,000 in 1870 to more than ten times that number in 1897.—“ The New North west,’’ by J. A Wheelock, in Harper’s Magazine. -y-ri—'"msanraeasi ’ Tho Classics and Sciences. It is easy for those who have never had a true university training, who have bad their ideas of culture shaped by the com mercial fashion of this particular country and the whirl of turmoil In which our peo ple are carried along, to persuade them selves that wo are now quite beyond the need of Latin and Greek; that the places of the classic languages can be and ought to be supplied by the more practical study of French and German. This demand for practical and useful things is just as erroneous as the one previously mention ed. It loses sight of the fundamental principle in education—vis, that the Solo purpose of education is discipline in think ing and the cultivation of attachment to the noble and the ideal. That classic languages afford a better discipline to tho mind than any other is generally conceded by the best authorities and proved by tbs experience of every ago. In our own time wo find the most emi nent savans of Germany of this opinion, and in England Lord Kelvin, tho ex-pres ident of thrf Royal society, who for 50 years has engaged in physical research and is easily the greatest man of science since Laplace, comes out squarely against the making of Greek optional in the Universi ty of Cambridge, and the proposition is voted down in the senate by an over whelming majority. Is it likely that on this groat question such mature and intel ligent judgment can be wrong and that of the Inexperienced and tho unclassio teacher right? Training in the classic languages Affords tho desired mental dis cipline and stimulates a careful and ac curate use of language and of thought, which, as has been said txsfore, is the es sential condition of scientific progress. I advocate therefore a return to the study of the classics as the best and safest basis for the advancement of science; be sides, the Ideals and the philosophy and the poetry of tho ancients, far removed from the corrupting clamors of our time, exert the most noble influence upon the mind, and from that point of view alone Latin and Greek should be maintained as the basis of linguistic study.—Dr. T, J. J. Lee in Popular Astronomy. Tactics That Won. “I’ll never forget when we had old Bluntly at the bead of our campaign com mittee, ” said tho ex-congressman who re cently retired from politics. “All we put him there for was as a figurehead. He was honest, straightforward and univer sally trusted by the people. We simply wanted the benefit of his reputation, in tending to make the fight without any of his help. “But the old chap fooled us. Retook the thing in deadly earnest and watched things with the care of a locomotive en gineer hauling a fast passenger train. He believed in doing everything aboveboard and was a bonanza to reporters. When a man of some prominence on the other side pretended to be converted to ours and made a dramatic demonstration at a big mass meeting of his change of heart, Bluntly gave it out that the fellow had been hired to play the part and was a rank hypocrite. When we had made terms with a lot of repeaters to come in and help us out, Bluntly exposed the scheme and call ed the attention of the authorities to it in away they could not ignore. When we bought up the leaders of a certain organi zation, promising so much for each vote delivered from that source, Bluntly called attention to the conspiracy and declared that he would prosecute bribersand bribed if it were carried out.” ‘ ‘ Whew I Did the fellows on your ticket know they were running?” “Did they? We swept the board. Not an office got away. Bluntly’s honesty was so novel and refreshing that the people were tickled beyond expression. They couldn’t believe that a man of his nerve and integrity oould be indorsing tho wrong ticket, and it went with a whoop.” —Detroit Free Pess. It Made All the Difference. “Oh!” exclaimed Mrs. Midgen. She had been shopping and visiting and had just arrived home when a thought struck her. She clasped her hands together in dismay, and in her agitation sat flat down on the cat. “Whatever shall I do?” “I expect you will get over it.” said Mr. Midgen testily. He was waiting for his tea. “What is it?” “I took my diary out with me Instead of that little pricebook, and if 1 haven’t been and left it somewhere! Suppose somebody should get hold of it and read it?” “Ha, ha!” laughed her husband. “That will bo fine sport. How I should like. to see them reading nil the rubbish you have written in it I What’s the good of going back? You’ll never get it. ” “Oh, I remember now!” suddenly cried Mrs. Midgen. “It is my old one. So it doesn’t matter at all. I feel quite re lieved.” “What was in it?” said he, feeling dis appointed. “I used to amuse myself by copying your love letters in it, and I imitated your signature at the bottom of them. ’’ “What?” yelled Midgen, jumping to his feet and grabbing at his hair. “Do you want people to know what an idiot I am and make me tho laughing stock of the parish just when I’m putting up for the Vestry? Go and look for it, quick! And offer 4810 reward for it!” Ahd if it hadn’t been found in Mrs. Midgen’s bag at that very moment there Is no telling what would have happened to that household.—Pearson’s Weekly. What Is Public Opinion? It is obvious that there are two kinds of public opinion. One is the popular belief in the fitness or rightness of something, Which Mr. Balfour calls “climate,” a be lief that certain lines of conduct should be followed or a certain belief held by good citizens or right thinking persons. Such a belief does not impose any duty on anybody beyond outward conformity to the received standards. The one lam now talking of is the public opinion, or con sensus of opinion among large bodies of persons, which acts as a political force, imposing on those in authority certain en actments or certain lines of policy. The first of these does not change and is not seriously modified in much less than 50 years. The second is being incessantly modified by the events of the day.— E. L. Godkin in Atlantic. Episcopal Church Statistics. „ Whittaker’s “Protestant Episcopal Al manac” for 1898, which is out, is a care ful and comprehensive digest of Episcopal church statistics and growth. Then are at present in that church 4,776 clergymen, an Increase of 53 over the previous year; 6,882 churches, an increase of 46; 664,088 communicants, an increase at 22,988, and 483,600 Sunday school scholars, an in crease of 10,077.
