the programme most exquisitely. Miss

The Charity Concert.

The concert given last night at Music

Trustees of the poor by the united Catholic
choirs was attended by from two to three
thousand people. Considering the object
of this concert the hall should have been
packed. The contrast between last night
and the night previous at the I. o. 0. F.

chorus was good and we'll balanced, and the

Electric lighting.

The electric light is already used
D several factories 10 this country,
and its use seems TO be extending.
The circumstances are favorable 70
Its employment in large workshops.
There is always in these concerns a
superabundanee of motive power,
and the work Of driving the electric
machines which supply the means
for lighting can therefore be perform
ed substantially without cost. As
most large factories manufacture their
own gas, the loss which will follow
the Introduction of electricity, bv
rendering useless the costly plant for
the production OF gas, Will fall upon
the shoulders of the very people who
are to be benefited by the reduction
OF expense.
As a rule, too, more light is needed
in these shops than is actually en-
ployed ct present owing to the high
cost Of gas; aud the electric lamp
seems to supply this need at the same
time that it is reducing the cost. So
much seems to have been already de.
monstrated
In addition, the light in some of
the lamps before the public is steady,
pleasing to the eye, and well diffused,
casting no deep shadows 1t is not
yet fully demonstrated that the elee-
trio light is cheaper than gas in build
ings where the employment OF spe-
cial steam engine is necessary. It
may be so, bat the fact is vet to be
shown in actual practice. In the
ene case to which so much attention
has been called throughout the scien-
tife world, of the use of the light in
a warehouse in ST. Petersburg, the
saving Of cost is effected solely by
the fact that gas used to spoil the
merchants goods, whereas the cleo
tric light does not
With reference to the lighting of
dwellings. the whole subject is yet in
doubt. Mr.. Edison claims to have
found way to light dwellings, and
that illumination by his plan is cheap
er than gas.
The facts in regard to this matter
are Set forth in another part Of to-
days paper, where a description Of
the various experiments now making
in this country is presented. Briefly,
the case is as follows:
The subdivision of the electric cur
rent and its distribution to a large
number Of lamps cause an enormous
loss Of light; and while extremely
beautiful and perfectly steady small
lights can be produced, j the lights
ian be turned up and dow a, just like
gas, it is not known that any wen
.or, Mr. Edison or sEy one elsr has
,ircuit.
The public know what ex rava ant
:laimc have been made. These claims
may yet be justified, but up to the
present time they are not. If the |
electric light cannot be subdivided !
more than twenty times, il cannot at
present become a serious competitor
with gas, in dwelling houses and
offices.

coed Living for Farmers.

II there IS anY class Of people that
Ough. to live well it is farmers They
are supplied with O great variety Of
food, and among the numerous pro-
ducts OF the farm and farm garden
are many articles that would be re-
garded as the choicest luxuries BY
city people--luxuries because Of their
freshness and purity. Such milk and
cream as the farmer has, money can
not buy in our cities. Eggs, fresh
laid, are not to be had there. Vege-
tables fresh from the soil, chickens as
choice and as fat as you please.
These are among the generally sup
piled aud choice products Of the
farm which should aid in making the
farmers table an attractive one.
The staple articles Of diet are. Of
course, bread, potatoes, and meat Of
various kinds But these articles
can be made so good that none Vill
tire Of them, and cooked III such
variety OF ways as to always render
them inviting and pslatable. Some
people have aa idea that good living
necessarily means expensive living,
and that the farmer can afford only
plain food plainly served, which gen
orally means properly eooked. What
a poor, sl0yenly cook wastes in pro-
viding for an average farmers lami-
ly, would 90 far in the hands of an
intelligent, careful and economical
cook, toward feeding such a family
One Of the greatest shortcomings in
our country to-day is in the vast
amount Of careless and unintelIigent
cooking. Farmers are taking less0us
in agriculture. They are studying
and investigating the many questions
which are continually arising in their
-oid bat always new business of til
ing the soil
Their wives and daughters have
need Of thought, Of study and earnest
investigation into the economic prin-
ciples Of cooking.
Of course, there are very many &C.
complished housekeepers and excel
lent cooks, as there are model farm
ers, but the best are those who gener-
ally can and wiilproit most by study,
experiment and the suggestions Of
others The wise are never too wise
to learn, but the foolish are wise in
their own conceit. The best farm
ers, az rule, are the ones who take
the agricultural papers, who are the
supporters of cur farmers club-,
grsDgers' a1d agricultural societies
that are doing 50 much good So
the best cooks are the ones who are
able to make good use Of cook books,
carefully selected recipes, and who
take an interest ia everything that
tends to increase their knowledge and
proficiency.
Economy in living expenses is be-
coming an important consideration
with cur people, but economy does
not require that we live all the time
on one or Two kinds of food served
always In the same way. Itrequires
that more intelligent care be given
toward the selection Of articles Of
food, having regard for the relation
Of valne and cost, and that they be
not wasted, and that the greatest
good may be derived from them -
