The river Danube which now divides
the main forces Of the Russian s"d Turk:
i.h armies is by far the lsrsest river In
Europe. 1t flows centrally through
Europe to the sea, having total length
OF 100 miles. The Danube Is nsviga-
bic for $500 miles, and some of its tribu'
taries are nsvigable for over 100 miles.
THIS magnificent river closely resent
bles the Mississippi in some particulars.
Its pssssg 9 through Austria and hungary
and along the Turkish frontier is similar
to the great American river, with
wide alluvial bottoms, sometimes over
flowing, in great ireshets. 1t drains one-
fourth as much territory Ms the Missis.
sippi, half as much as the Missouri, and
as much as the Ono and Upper Missis'
sippi together. its deltss and mouths
are exactly similar to those of the Mis-
sissippr, and have been blocked up BY
sand bars, just as in the case OF those at
New Orleans, which are now being re-
moved by the United States Government.
The great event in the present struggle
between Russia and Turkey will be when
the Gear crosses tie Danube.

sllmentary canal, and the effects of the
blood poison disappear in due time. Blu
with beans and peas, cooking is ever, =
thing. As ordinarily brought TO the
table, they are utterly unit Tor human
stomach. They are almost never cooked
enough. They are heavily frelghted
with salt and pork ana grease. The
pork is perhaps stale or ill-led and rank.
II gives OF It's .xcsse Of salt In the cook
ing, and the beans absorb It. 1t exudes
grease and the beans are saturated with
1t. The pot Of baked beans Is often a
mess iudlgesuble save by the strongest
stemachs, and certain to destroy the sol
vent power Of ovea the strongest. There
is ac,ose grained Tenacious bull upon
TIE bean and pea, composed Of cellulose
Or woody fiber, which takes bign heat,
long n.inued, TO Dissolve. This shell
can not be digested until dissolved. The
cooking process must do this, or the
mess must be strained or sifted. If beans
are cooked in double boilers boiler
having q water.jscket, as they should be
they can be kept on the fire for days
without burning. Baking is not the
best mode of cooking beans and peas.
They need water and good deal of 1t
Bean soup lie the best bean food. Ii

strained from its useless, irritating, and
fa,ulent bulls. When cold il will form a
solid jelly. Eaten with cream it is de-
