WE advise readers to live, at least a
part of the time, in the sunshine. Never
mind the fading carpets-what are they
when compared with life and health9
Sleep in ventilated and we'll aired rooms,
and thus throw off and throw out all i'm
purities emanating from human bodies.
If all should live on healthful food !;
breathe pure air; live much in the life
giving sunshine; abstain from stimu-
lants, narcotics and condiments; be suit
ably clothed; sleep plentifully in we'll
ventilated rooms in which the sun shines
during the day; take proper bodily ex-
ercises to keep up vigorous circula-
ton; keep the skin clean from certain
additions, and the conscience clear and
void of offence toward God and man by
doing right, and in other matters obey
the laws of Nature and of God, we would
be proof against coughs, colds, consump-
ton, smallpox, cholera, yellow fever, or
other diseases. Indeed, one who so lives
may be exposed to any disease and not
take it.
But, if our blood be poisoned by
breathing impure air; eating filthy or
disease generating food; drinking all
manner of connections; living in dark
rooms; inhaling the fumes of sinking
tobacco, and living lives of lust and
passion, we shall become as grass before
the blade of every epidemic which, I'M
der the usual favorable conditions,

Both great and small"

ABOUT TEA.-Use three-quarters of an
ounce for from six to eight persons pour
in boiling water when ready to sit down ;
give it stir with spoon, and in five
minutes your first cup is ready; then re-
fill the teapot with boiling water, and
your second cup will be as good as the
first. Use water fresh boiled; when il
has been boiling too long, or the tea is
wet fifteen or thirty minutes before 20,
are ready to use it, the first aroma is gone
The most hcalthful and the cheapest teas
are black teas, Oolong and Breakfast teas

HOUSEHOLD.
Blot on Beefsteak.

If those housewives who feed their
families on tough steaks mot being will
ling or able to pay for juicy ones) would
take little more pains-that is, would
stew an inferior piece instead of broiling
or frying it-they would have more palat-
able and more nourishing food.
Pounding steak to make it tender is
a mere farce. You may pound a tough
and tasteless steak for hours or for days,
and you will never make tender, juicy
and palatable one. Pounding breaks the
fibres of the meat, it is true, but it does
not change tasteless meat into that which
is juicy and tender. A pounded tough
steak while being masticated may appear,
to an inexperienced palate, tenderer than
if it had been pounded, but it is delu-
sion. 1t does not show as much resist
ance under the teeth, it is true, but the
nature of the meat remains the same; it
does not become more nutritious or more
juicy.
A thin steak, even a good one, cannot
be cooked properly, for quick fire and
good draught are required to broil
steak, and if it be too thin it is dried up
in Il moment. The intensity of the heat
penetrates through and through, and
leaves only dried, tough and tasteless
piece, instead of juicy and palatable
one.
A steak should never be less than
three-quarters of an inch in thickness.
1t should be broiled rather underdone, as
quickly as possible, and placed on
warm dish, with butter, chopped parsley,
and few drops of lemon juice spread all
over and served quickly.
A steak broiled beforehand and kept
warm in an oven gets dry, tough and
tasteless. If kept in a closed vessel in a
warm place, or over steam, it soon gets
soggy, and loses its juicy and delicious
taste. Fried potatoes or water-cresses
are most excellent accompaniment to
steak.

DIMINUTIvE CATTLE.-In the Ashantee
Kingdom, on the Western coast of Africa,
there is species of cattle which for
diminutiveness exceed anything discov-
cred. Some of these animals were brought
away by the return troops after tho
last turmoil with the Ashantee savages
On one vessel twelve were shipped as
fresh food on the voyage, and some idea
may be formed Of this representative of
Liliputian s'live beef" when it is stated
that of the eleven that were killed not one
exceeded forty seven pounds in weight as
a dressed carcass, furnishing no more
meat than would an ordinary sheep.

THE GARDENS OF MoRocCo.-The
groves of rose trees and the flower farms
of Morocco are said by recent traveller
to exceed in extent and value those of
Damascus, or even those of the Valley of
Mexico. The general climate of the
country is very favorable to this kind of
culture. Swept alternately by the breezes
of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean,
and tempered by the SHOWS of the Atlas
ranges, the degree of heat in Morocco is
much lower than in Algeria, while the
soil is exceedingly fertile. To the date,
palm, and to orange and lemon trees, the
climate appears to be especially suited,
the dates OF Talifat having been famous
even from Roman times. The orange
plantations are of very great extent in
various parts of the country, while olives
and almonds are also staples exported in
large quantities. Seeing that this fertile
land, within five days steam of London,
produces so much vegetable wealth under
the most barbarous cultivation, it appears
extraordinary that European enterprise
does not. in such climate, seek profit
able employment for its over-abundan
capital in its application to the develop
mcnt of such vast resources so close a
hand, instead of going SO far afield a.

A decision by the Supreme
Court of Tennessee, delivered on
the 7th instant, settles an inter.
esting question growing out of the
new tax law. The special point
involved in the case was the right
of the State to collect the six per
cent. interest upon the taxes since
the lst of last November. This
case originated before a Justice OF
the Peace. Park paid the inter
est on his taxes under protest.
Afterwards he brought suit to re-
cover the interest in a Justices
Court, and obtained Judgment,
from which Myers appealed to
the Circuit Court, where the mag
istrate's judgment was affirmed
The Supreme Court has reversed
that judgment, declaring that the
collection of the interest is clearly
warranted by the law and the con.
stitution of the State.

er spoken; the rationale of spir-

the writing of every author l
could procure on this subject,
and like doubling Thomas l
would not believe until I had
ocular demonstration of the
fact myself. The principal OBJ
lection offered by those who
discard the theory, is, that spirit
being immaterial cannot be
brought in contact with materi-
al substance. Now, is there any
immateriality? Is not spirit in
the commonly accepted defini-
ton of the term u nibility, like
truth, beauty, a mere word?-
Does it not become an airy
nothing without local habita-
ton? With me, spirit is the
truest substantially, for that
which is not material is not at
all. We are possessed of two
bodies, the documentary and
complete, occupying the rela-
tive position ofthc caterpillar to

which We are not cognizant.-

The Cheese Industry,

According to tho american Grocer,
tho cheese industry is in danger of ruin,
and the only salvation, it is said, is to
abandon the manufacture Of every
quality except full cream cheese, which
is the only kind entitled to the designa.
tion OF cheese. So.called cheese is made
OF every gradation Of quality, from the
poorest skinned to the richest full
cream cheese, and sells in tho market
from two cents to thirteen and n hall
cents pound. II tho milk is all skim.
med, tho poorest product is the result,
and this quality proves m exceedingly
Improbable manufacture, as it costs To
mako and sell it ut least three cents q
pound, and nets n loss of one cent a
pound. The next quality above, with
five per cent. Of cream, and madc oi
good texture and properly colored,
brings n relatively higher price; and Sc
on for all gradations of quality until
when the cheese is made with mixture
Of morning milk skinned and evening
milk unskimmed, in equal quantities, m
article may bo produced by proper care
that will pass very well with those who
are not experts for n full cream cheese,
Then comes in tho olGomargarine cheese,
the cream al taken off and tho oil called
oleomargarine, from the fresh fat Of the
caul of m OK, substituted in cqual
weight for tho cream. This produces al
article which in many respects so closely
resembles the full cream cheese as to bt
readily sold forit.
Last year skinned milk cheese sold
very well up to tho best grades. Thi'
year they can hardly DO sold at all, from
which it appears that, after all, cheating
don't pay. All who aro interested in the
export trade, and nearly every receiver
is, tells us that the presence of adulten
ted cheese i'll tho English market is being
felt here, aud that it is absolutely certain,
If their manufacture md shipment i.
persisted in, will react disastrously upor
our cheese trade, and ultimately to drive
us ont Of n market that lIas cost us SC
many years and so much labor to cstab
lish. OF the 1,0O5,07S cheese received
here during tho year ending Alay 81 last
1,70l 1928 were exported, leaving 20i, ,G5(
for home consumption, about niuo PEI
cent. Of tho total receipts. Figures like
these show tho Importance Of sending
good cheese abroad.
