The Reason WHY.

Why are boiled turnips the better for
being mashed and seasoned? Because
in the MASKING n considerable amount
of water is expelled from them which
renders them indigestible; seasoning
with pepper and salt assists their di-
gestion, and the addition OF little but
ter promotes the conversion OF their
starch into fat.
Why should meat be kept some time
before it is salted? Because its fiber
will become short and tender by keep
ing, but if it is sailed when quite fresh
it will be tough and hard.
Why, when meat is picked, is it an
error to add little sugar to the brine ?
Some persons appear to imagine that,
because meat may be preserved III
sugar, therefore little sugar added to
the brine will improve its antiseptic
powers. But, although large proper
ton of sugar exercises "A preventative
influence, small proportion has pre-
cisely an opposite effect.
Why does cabbage possess such
a disagreeable smell a? Because it dis
solves the essential oil of the cabbage.
The water should be changed when the
cabbage is half boiled the cabbage
would thereby acquire greater sweet
ness, and be less likely to excite tiatu-
lency.
Why is the onion considered such n
useful vegetable ? Because, as well as
imparting an agreeable odor and SAVIOR
to compound dishes, the essential oil
which it contains is an excellent stomach
stimulant.
Why will bright metal teapot make
better tea than black or brown earth
enware one? Because bright metal is
a bad radiator of heat, while black
earthenware radiates heat freely. The
latter, therefore, parts with heat, and
reduces the temperature of the water,
while the former preserves the heat for
longer time, and therefore produces
better tea.
How may genuine lard be known +?
BY melting it to about the temperature of
2l2 degrees, and if it dissolves without
ebullition, or without the occurrence Of
deposit, it may be relied on as genuine.
How may the presence OF copper in
pickles be detected? BY immersing for
a few hours piece of thick iron wire,
having smooth and polished surface,
in the vinegar. If the smallest guam
tity of copper be present, it will be de-
posted on the surface of the iron.

SVeetnieatS.


Medical men know that if babies were
prevented from having sweets III their
food they would die i'll very short
time. III is the sweet of their food that
keeps them warm. The belief is almost
universal that sugar and sweetmeats
iniure the teeth. If you put n spoon
full of sugar in cup of tea it disap-
pears-it is entirely dissolved F.; if it is
eaten il is dissolved with the saliva, and
is passed into the stomach in minute
or two nothing whatever is left in the
mouth, or about the teeth, or between
the teeth There is not even the taste
of sweetness on the tongue or teeth five
minutes after being taken into the
mouth it is all in II dissolved state in
the stomach, foot or two away.
There is no vegetable or fruit which
does not contain sugar. A loaf of wheat
bread is healthful if sugar is added to
it it is then much more nutritious, and
of sweetness in all that grows out of the
earth suitable for human food, it must
be because the element of sweetness is
necessary to the wants of the system.
Adams and Liebig, the most able ana
lyzers of human food, have investigated
the subject closely and faithfully in its
chemical relations, and have arrived at
the fact that whatever of sweetness there
is in our food makes il the more nutri-
tious, and that food somewhat difficult
of digestion is made more digestible by
sweetness ; and no doubt it was tins OBJ
served fact, without knowing the rea-
son of it, which has led to the almost
universal practice In civilized life of
having something sweet after the prin-
cipal meal of the day, in the form of
desserts, all of which are sweetened.
1t has also been found that all nuts
used at the table have an oil. which also
promotes digestion. Infants take nour-
ishment very often. 1t is because the
sweets in it cause a rapid assimilation
of the food. No wonder they have an
inappeasnble instinct for sweets it
would be a cruelty, n murder, to de-
prjve them of what is necessary to life
itself The gastric or stomach Juice
contains hydrochloric acid. 1t is this
which dissolves the food and prepares
it for yielding its nourishment to the
system. There is another acid which
has similar effect, and its elements
are found N various kinds of food.
This is Tactic acid, which is formed
when sugar comes in contact with the
saliva in the mouth. So far from sugar
injuring the teeth it hardens them, makes
them more solid ana lasting and beau
tiful, and gives strength and durability
to the bones, because they are formed
mainly Of the phosphate of lime, which
is found largely in all the grains, such
as oats, wheat and corn and wherever
Tactic acid finds the phosphate of lime,
it dissolves it more perfectly, hence
provides a larger supply of this indis
pensable material to the human body
than if sugar were not taken. From
these statements it is clear that in what
ever vehicle sugar is carried into the
system it does good, is healthful, is
nutritious, is necessary, whether it be
in pies, pastries, buildings or sugar
candy.-HaWS Journal Of Heath.

4 Chicago Hotel.

The following is a translation of an
article in Berlin paper, which viii
convey an idea of the German estimates
of the coming American hotel 1.-THE
latest American progress in building
will be the mammoth hotel, soon to be
erected in Chicago. This enormous
hotel is to have frontage of three En-
glish miles long, and depth of six
miles the height of seventy seven
stories will measure 3, $50 feet from the
ground floor to the roof. The MOTEL
will have no stairs, but 800 balloons
will always be ready to take visitors up
to their rooms. No room walters are
to be employed, but visitors will be
served by newly patented automatic,
put up in every bedroom, who will do
all shaving, shampooing, etc, to the
guests by very simple and ingenious
mechanism. Surprising the guest re-
quires hot water, the automatic will be
able to call downstairs "A bucket of
water up to room number one million
three thousand one hundred and seven, "
and the water, will be up in seven sec
onds by patented elevator. Half an
hour before table dhote, instead of the
ringing of bells, gun (24-pounder)
will be fired on each floor to call the
guests to get ready for their meals.
The tables in the dining-rooms will
measure four miles each, attendance to
be performed by twelve walters on horse
back on either side of the table Music
during tadle d'hote will be played
gratis-by eight bands of seventy-seven
men each. For the convenience of Wis
itors railway will be built on each floor
as well as telegraph Offices. The price
for one bedroom will be from 81 to SO.
The cost of this building is estimated
to be $3.50, 000,0 900. The billiard room
will contain 900 American, 80 French,
and English table, and, most of the
visitors expected to he Americans, the
billiard room will be fitted out with a
spittoon of 100 feet in circumfere nee. y

4 Caution.

Each year hundreds of people lose
their lives by the communication OF fire
to their clothing. Children's clothing
is light and inhammable as they venture
near gas lights or other columns of
flame Dancers and others on the stage
are also nightly subject to danger.
French chemists declare that expert
ments in that line have convinced
them that valuable compound to 90
the desired work may be formed by boil
ing together twenty-five pounds of sugar
OF lead, fifteen pounds of hthrage and
forty gallons OF water, for about half an
hour. When this liquid is be used.
as much of it is taken as will at least
completely cover the fabric or material
to be treated--or, i'll many cases, the
fabric may be simply passed through
the solution, raised to nearly the boil
ing point. This operation having been
performed, the fabric is removed, and
spread out for about twelve hours to the
contact of the air, after which it is to be
immersed for period of from one to
two hours in a hot and moderately
strong solution of silicate O, soda. On
being withdrawn from this bath of sill.
cate of soda, the material is allowed to
drain, then wash thoroughly III soft
water, and when dried, it will be found
to have acquired, to n valuable degree,
the property OF being unintiammable.
If hundred or more human lives can
be saved each year by this process, it
will be one of the most valuable ever
presented to the world.

Beware of Trichinn

AS several cases of the horrible dis
ease, tlichinosis, have lately occurred,
we again impress on our readers the
necessity of seeing that pork is properly
cooked before being eaten. RecoIlect
that one mouthful of UNDERGONE pork
may cook your goose. Here is an ex-
tract from the medical report on the
cases mentioned above, by the Medical
Society of Kalamazoo
Eat no uncooked or half-cooked hogs
flesh. The raw flesh of the hog, what
ever it's shape or condition, whether
ham, bacon or pork, salt or fresh,
smoked or unsmoked, is liable to con-
tain parasite, full of a life and activity
that may soon work a remediless mis-.
chief in the human body. Bologna
sausage, if pork be in it uncooked, is as
dangerous as any form of this meat.
The heat that cooks meat utterly de.
stroys the life and mischievous power
of these vermin, and no one need feai
any harm if this fact is observed.

Medical Hints.

Practical knowledge of surgery is a
desirable possession, and lives have
been saved ere now by the intelligence
of persons whose minds are well stored
with such knowledge. Whoever works
with pointed or edged tools is in con-
slant danger of being seriously cut or
manned. 1t is, therefore, necessary
that proper bandages be always at hand
in case of accident, especially in country
workshops, where the immediate at
tendance of surgeon cannot be de-
pended on. Long strips of cotton,
linen, or even woollen cloths, should be
in readiness for use. In case of Sc
we're cut, the immoderate flow of blood
may be checked by binding one or more
of these strips over the wound, COM
mencing below some three or four
inches, and winding spirally mot
to Tight as many inches above
the cut. Oil or grease should
be applied before the bandage
is put on. If cloth is deficient, place
layers of brown paper between each
fold. 1t is also best to place piece OF
thick brown paper over the wound be-
fore binding.

4 Towel for Each.

1t is not uncommon, IN country
houses, for all the members of the fam
lily 70 use the same towel for wiping
their hands and faces. l am often sur
prised To see how this practice prevails
even among people of considerable Gull
tivation frequently the towel is made
OF three yards of good crash, sewed to-
gether at the ends, and hung over a
roller. This seems very generous and
nice when it is clean, but not SO after it
has hung there two or three days, used
morning, noon and night, by half-a-
dozen persons.
We may be able TO endure great deal
of our own dirt, when we are Obliged
to, but it is not morbid dellcacy that
shrinks from using towel soiled by
other persons. Each human body gives
forth It's own peculiar excretions from
every pore of the skin, waste matter,
more or less filthy, so it is not merely
the impurity derived from external
sources that we wash and wipe away
when we perform our ablutions. 1t Is
also this ones dyspepsia, that one
biliousness, and the other ones tobac-
CO ugh
Give me clean towel, please And
please give every child its own towel
and its own comb as soon rs 1T is old
enough TO use them, and now | want to
add-please, o fellow-citizen give
every human being a chance to battle
the whole body, privately, whenever
one wishes to do SO, In comfortable
bath-tub, and all the clean towels de-
sired.-1neric0n Agricutturtst.

Caught i'm Il Grating.

Somewhere lately / read of young
lady who caught her foot in the pave
meut, AID minister going down upon his
knees in the public street to help her,
made q spectacle for much merriment
That's nothing to the experience of a
friend of mine She mounted on two
very slender feet, and going out last
winter, wearing brand-new pair of
boots, whose soles were ridiculously
narrow, she paused IN front OF a shop
window on Broadway, and desiring a
nearer view of some article, she stepped
upon n grating that covered the cellar
entrance to the store. Her right foot
must have executed parrot step, for
mash went her foot between the CRATES,
carried by her weight through above
her ankle bone. Then she was fast
enough. She tugged, but that was of
no avail. A hundred and forty pounds
of woman drove it in, and no amount of
back pulling budged it an inch. What
was she TO do? Other ladies stopped
at the window and probably wondered
at the transfixed attitude of the unfort-
innate creature. Finally she took heart
and implored the aid of a sister female.
The newcomer saw at once that with
that boot on, that foot could never
come mp. So she went inside and
stated the case to the gentlemanly clerk,
who promptly went down into the cell
lar mounted the stairs, unbuttoned the
boot and released the poor prisoner r,
who skipped into the store in her stock
ing foot, resumed her boot and hoped
away. You may be sure she'll never
stand on any gratings again as long as
she lives.-NeU York Letter.

How He Proved 1t.

It is the custom in Mexico for the
clergy TO require a foreigner, wishing to
marry native, to bring proof that he
is not already n married man. An
American, about to marry senorita of
very good family, was required to fur
nish the proof of his being bachelor
Not finding any of his countrymen who
knew him sufficiently well to testify to
this fact, he determined to supply the
deficiency with the oath of native.
Meeting a Mexican in the street, whom
he had never seen before, our country
man proposed to him that he should
swear to his being unmarried for the
consideration OF So. The senior, after
a moments study, said to the Yankee
Get down on your hands and knees
and creep about.
Not exactly understanding what he
was at, our friend obeyed, much to the
detriment of his unmentionables. The
other party then told him he was all
right that he would swear that the
American had not been married since
he knew him, and that Was since the
time he crawled
