Are Fat People Healthy.

Why are fat people always complain
Ingf asks some one who entertains the
popular though n notion that
health is synonymous with fat. Fat PEG.
pie complain because they are diseased.
Obesity Is an abnormal condition of the
system, in which the saccharlne and
o%leaginous elements of the food are
assimilated to the partial exclusion of
the muscle-forming and BRAIN producing
elements. In proof of this, 1t is only
necessary to assert the ~well-known fact
that excessively fat people are never
strong, and seldom distinguished for
mental powers or activity. Besides,
they are the easy prey Of acute and
epidemic diseases, and they are the FREE
quent victims of govt, heart diseases,
and apoplexy. Allan's Anti Fat Is the
only known remedy for this disease. 1t
contains no acid, is absolutely harmless,
and Is warranted to remedy the most
confirmed case Of obesity. or corpulencV.

say this mound will steady newly plant

FRENCH BREAD.--As a rule the French
bread is always sweet and good, and
two things contribute in a great degree
to this-that is, the manner and form
of baking. They never make a thick
loaf; no matter what the size and shape
1t is always thin, and more than two
thirds crust. They bake their bread
until it is perfectly cooked. The loaves
being go thin the heats strikes through
them very soon after they are placed in
the v hence all the fermentation is
stopped, while in a case of large loaves
fermentation continues to 60 on after
the bread has been In the oven for
some time, and of course much CT the
sweetness is lost. Then, In baking so
long, and having so much crust, there
is a peculiar sweetness given which
can be attained in no other way.

PRESERVING E6Gs.-To four gallons
of boiling water add half a peck of new
lime, stirring 1t some time. When
cold, remove any hard Jumps with a
coarse sieve; add ten ounces of salt and
three ounces of cream Of tartar and mix
the whole thoroughly. The mixture is
to stand a fortnight before using. The
eggs are to be packed as clOsly as pos.
sible and to be kept closly covered up.
This is Prof. Corbet'sIrecelpt for lining
eggs. At a meeting of the New York
Farmers Club, where the subject was
discussed, the following plan was given :
A layer of Stacked lime, wet to a con-
sistency that will allow the eggs to
stand upright in 1t: the bottom layer
must be two inches thick; the eggs are
stuck into this small end downward,
close but not touching; over these a
fresh mixture OF Stacked lime is poured
and this process continued until the
vessel is full. Many dealers prefer
coating the eggs with melted parafine.
This is done by simply dipping it in
the mixture.

INSECTS on HsUsK PLANTS. The prlnei-
pal insects troubling house plants are the
green ny, the mealy bug, the scale and
the red spider. The most effectual
remedy for the green hy Is fumigation
with tobacco. Some wooded plants,
such as heliotropes, salvias, etc., will
not bear fumigation without injury to
the leaves, and for these a weak solu-
ton OF tobacco Is quite as effectual.
Steep some tobacco In water and
sprinkle the plant wlth the solution,
and afterwards syringe with clean wa
ter. Mealy bug is TO be searched for
and destroyed. Frequent spongings do
much TO keep down this pest. Scale
Is TO be treated In the same way. Warm
soap suds are peculiarly distastefUl to
this creature. A little %turpenhne, d.
luted with water Zone part 10 siXteen)
will destroy the mealy bug. Alcohol
with a camel's hair brush, will kill any
insect 1t touches. Plants treated with
these remedies must be syrlnged with
clear water Immediately thereafter.
White hellebore ito be obtained at the
drug store, is infallible. 1t can be put In
water and applied through a watering
pot, or pu. in two or three t~hicknesses
of gauze, and shake the hellebore UNI
der and over the plants while they are
wet, Red spider, which is seldom
found on house plants, is nourished by
a dry, warm atmosphere. Ii is a very
small insect, first appearing on the un-
der side of the leaves, and though diff
cult to see, It's effects are quickly mott
ceable by the Drowned appearance of
the leaves. 1t yields readily to mois-
ture-water is certain death. Keep the
foliage %syringed. and atmosphere moist
and you will have no red spider. To
kill white worms in flower pots take
common lime, dissolve 1t and pour the
liquid on the soil. 1t does not injure
the plants at all.

900 to be expended during the
ensuing year on public buildings and
grounds in Washington, and 81, 200 600
for the improvement of streets, sewers,
water supply, and the support of the
schools, public institutions, and the ex-
penses of the district government. This
does not include the money that is ex-
pended here by congressman and EN-
| ployes of congress, which is nearly a
milllon more. Washington will thus
be benefited this year by the expendi-
ture of nearly $30,000,0O0 of govern
ment money.
A WASHINGTON special says, it will
surprise many people to know that the
value of the hay crop in this country
was greater last year by over S50,000,-
600 than the value of the cotton crop.
1t was not many years ago that cotton
was king, but grass is agreater monarch
of trade now; but we keep our hay at
home, while we send onr cotton abroad.
! Or the total cotton crop over
40 per cent. was exported; of
the hay crop only 3.l0O of
per cent. was exported. The value
of the cotton crop was PIP per cent. of
tho value of the entire grain product,
yet nearly 100000 more Of cotton
was exported than Of all the grains COM
bined. OF the wheat crop, 25.3 per cent.
was exported; Of the corn crop, Go per
cent; of the barley crop, lib per cent;
of the tobacco crop, about 81 per cent.
The demand for four per cent. bonds
has fallen off from millions down to
from $50, 900 to 100000 daily. This fact
is accounted for in this wise: The
banks were allowed three months III
which to pay for the large amount of
bonds they purchased on commission;
that time is now up and the banks are
TO- cling their bonds upon the market in
order to realize and settle with the gov
eminent; as they sell in competitive
market they offer for lower figures than
the government; hence for the time the
banks are selling the bonds and the de-
mand falls off at Washington.
Ar the close Of March the minis will
have coined % 100000 standard dollars,
making the average monthly coinage
since the passage of the act about
s., 100000. OF the amount coined SOL
100000 has been transferred to the
treasury, leaving S7,500,000 in the minis
at Philadelphia, Carson, New Or
leans and San Francisco. 1t is
stated that there is now on hand in the
sub-treasury and mlnts at San Francisco
and Carson about 81, 5000 a sum suf-
ficient to meet all demands for silver
dollars on the Pacific coast for some
time to come. From this it would APP
pear TO he good policy ON the part of
the government to have a larger por-
ton of the silver dollar coinage done
hereafter by the minis at Philadelphia
and New Orleans, but SO far the depart
ment, it appears. has not been able TO
procure sufficient bullion at reasonable
rates to run the New Orleans mint to
its full capacity on such coin, which is
stated to be about 100000 per month.
