Plain Living.

There are many good reasons for
living on plain, simply-cooked, but
nourishing food. Variety is necessary;
that is, a judicious mingling of dishes
of grains, vegetables, fruits and meats.
There need be but few kinds at one
meal, if the family are agreed in their
tastes. The larger the family, as q
general rule, the more need of variety
at each meal, that each one may fol-
low natural instinct in selection, SO far
! as can be done with due reference to
the rights of others. Plain living re-
duces not only our expenses, but our
labor in the kitchen.
Another important thing have been
taught by both reason and experience:
Plain living reduces our liability to dis
ease of all kinds. There has been but
one case of absolute sickness (down
sick in bed, undressed all day) in our
little family of four children during
the more than dozen years since the
eldest was born. think this is due to
care in regard to the general rule OF
health, as no preventive or curative
medicines-not even catnip tea or CAM
phor-have been used.
Yesterday daughter complained 81
q slight sore throat-a- very unusual
complaint here-and I felt some little
uneasiness, as diphtheria is abroad in
this part of the country. But l felt
condemned for the dinner of the day
before-hot bread pancakes, upon
which knew the little girl was eating
quite too much butter in melting
condition, followed by pumpkin-pie,
which disgraced me because it was toe
sweet and spicy for health. She had
the good sense (or cultivated instinct)
to go without supper last night; and 8

of all sore throat.

In tho Forests.

Boston Is said to ownthe two first horse
chestnuts trees brought to this country.
Theyare on Washington street, and are repu-
ted to be l03 years old. A ring does not
always denote year. for the blue gum tree
OF Australia sheds its bark twice q year.
A tree recently hcwn, that was known TO
be only lS years old, showed 80 distinct
rings OF growth. When Washington visi-
ted Long Island he probably crossed the
shadow Of an old oak tree that still stands
on the premises of Judge McCuc in Baby
lon. II was made a landmark in lTl6, and
Is therefore a local monument 60 years
older than the nation. Old oaks and yews
Ill England are not uncommon. Several
oaks felled in Sherwood forest, about quar-
Ter OF ccnluary ago, exposed, Oh being sawn

these trees must have beeen several centu-

AT Fowls Wcster, in Pcrthshlre, in the
centre of the village, standing on a slight
Knoll about four feet higher than the sur
rounding country, is Il very large and old
sycamore: which girths II feet and ii feet
inches at one foot and five feet
respectively, and with bolc of ID feet.
The legend goes that "a man of Poulis
planted 1t on ,e Sabbath nicht wi his
thoomb.' Berks, Penn, claims the
largest chestnut tree i'll the country. 1t IS
growing on the farm belonging to the
estate of Solomon Mcrkcl in Rockland
towr ship, and measures 38 feet 4 inches in
circumference; the limbs arc 10 feet from
tho ground, and measure Id feet in circum
ference at the base. The top of tho tree is
reached without danger by steps that are
fastened between the limbs. 1t is cstima-
ted that this tree contains about II cords
OF wood. 1t still yields about three bushels
Of chcstnuts annually. The oldest ycw
tree in England, which Is situated in Cow
hurst churchynrd, was mentioned by Au-
Dry. in the reign of Charles l., as then
measuring 10 yards in circumference at
height of feet from the ground 1t is
said, on the authority of De Candolle, to
be l.450 years Old. Its present growth Is
about 33 feet. In 1920 this old tree was
followed out, and cannon ball was found

bic that 10 coal has been discovered near
them. The coal Is found about 250 yards

How Old liz Slilss.

The oldest specimen Of pure glass bear.
ing anything like date, is little nodded
lions head, bearing the name of an Egypt
ian king of the eleventh dynasty in the
Slade collection at the British Museum.
That is to say at a period which may be
moderately placed as more than 1000
years B. g., glass was not only made, but
made with skill which shows the art was
nothing new. The invention of glazing
pottery with film Of varnish or glass is so
old that among tho fragments which bear
inscriptions of the early Egyptian mon
archy are beads, possibly of the first dynas-
ty. OF the same period arc vases and COB
lets and many fragments. 1t can not be
doubted that the story preserved by Pliny,
which assigns tho credit of the invention
to the Pho.nicians is 80 Tar true, that these
adventurous merchants brought specimens
70 other countries from Egypt. DR..
Schlieman found disks Of glass IN tho eX-
cavations at Myccn9, though Homer does
not mention it as a substance known to
HIM. That the modern art of the glass
blower was known long before, Is certain,
from rcpl esentaLions among the pictures
Oh the walls Of tomb of Bcni IIassan, of
the twelfth Egyptian dynasty; but a much
older picture, which probably represented
the same manufacture, Is among the half
obliterated scenes in chamber of tomb
of Thy, at atSakkara, and dates from the time
Of the fifth dynasty, time SO remote that
1t Is not possible, III spite of the assiduous
researches Of many Egyptologers, to give
1t a date in years.

Cold Air Frnit Curing.

The California Mountain Messenger
reports an interesting experiment in fruit
curing, lately made at Pacervlllc foun-
dry. About peck of sliced apples were
placed in sieve and subjected to a cold
air blast for three and o half hours in the
cupola furnace Of tho foundry, and the
fruit Is reported to have been completely
and beautifully cured by the treatment, re-
naming soft and without tho slightest dis.
coloration. The cured fruit showed none
of the harsh, stiff dryness which results
from hct curing, the cold blast completely
freeing the fruit from oxcess of moisture,
with no possibility of burning or shriveling
1t. The Messenger says: compared
with our sun drying, 1t effects q great
saving Of expense, attention and risk.
Anybody who can command or devise a
strong blast of cold air, can dry fruit IN a

without being dependent on the weather

nj etals IN the Body,

The human body, which seems made up
of flesh and blood, really contains several
metals and cases. and other substances
which perform important offices in the
world of science. Nitrogen and carbon
and hydrogen are its chief constituents; but
it holds, besides, about two pounds Of
phosphorus, which Is essential to the
health of the bones and the vigor of the
brain. This phosphorus, if extracted and
put to use, ,'would make up about four
packages of friction matches. Besides
phosphorus it contains a few ounces of
sodium, and half ounce of potassium,
which schoolboys know as a curious metal
that burns brilliantly on the surface OF
water, or when touched by OH iciclo. Tho
quantity of such IN the body would be suf-
tlcient for many experiments in large
school. In addition to sodium and potas-
SUM, there are few grains Of magnesium,
enough to make the "silvcr rain" for a
family's stock of rockets on q fourth of
July evening, or to create brilliant light,
visible twenty miles away. Who knows
but some reckless chemiat may undertake
to drive a profitable business by cxtricating
these materials from dead bodies?

Champagne Now and Then.

Although sparkling champagne has made
Its appearance at highly patrician tables in
England ever since the times of King
Charles II, who was very partial to 1t, the
consumption Of the wine among the middle
classes was, so recently as fifty and sixty
years ago, of the most limited kind. Cri-
tics have often animadvcrtcd on the pars-
mony of the British government in allow
ing only a single bottle of champagne day
for the table of Napoleon at st. Helena !;
and Sir Walter Scott protested against the
conduct Of Lord Bathurst, and Sir Hudson
Lowe in denying the captive "cvcn the
solacc of ntoxication." The truth is that
Napoleon did not care for champagllcs
His favorite wine was Chambcrtin, and OF
that he partook very sparlngly; and it
Is possible that the largest share Of the
solitary flask Of ''Hzz'; allotted to his table
fell to the officers of his suite. Champagne
was always ladies' wine In 1916 1t was
certainly not vintage much priced by
gentlemen. The recognized beverage for
good, steady after dinner drinking was
port, with sherry for wind-up or white
wash;" and the British government, 80 far
from being stingy, doubtless expected that
the exile would take bis bottle or so Of Car
boppell o. sandemap after dinner.
