Food andHe

This is n of the most useful pub
LEGATIONS and should be in the hands
Of every housekeoper, every head of a
family and all who think it worth
while to promote health, comfort and
longevity. 1t lie published weekly at 5
Waverly Place, New York, by Amelia
Lewis, an English lady Of ability, cul.
ture and practical common sense.
This journal fills a place occupied by
no other. II deals plainly with the
questions Of every day life and is re-
plete with useful Information, well
written, vigorous articles and peril
nent suggestions. The limitations and
adulterations Of what We eat and
drink are exposed with a bold hand;
and the evils Of heavy and %indiscrimi-
nate eating, Of thoughtless exposure
and neglect Of health are wildly set
forth. The science and art Of cooking
receives much attention and is treated
In such a way as TO bring out the i'm
portance Of the subject. Much is said
also which is calculated to promote
temperance by showing that good
cooking and regular diet will lessen a
desire for strong alcoholic drinks.
Numerous topics are treated Of by a
large corps Of able contributors; alto
gether we do not know Of any maya.
zine likely 10 be Of more benefit in the
family than Food and Health. The
subscription price is $3.50 a year.

SENATOR BECK
Denies an Alleged Interview and
Expresses Sympathy With
Garfield.

LEXINGTON, KY, September S.-Sena-
tor Beck having arrived at home from his
trip to the Northwest, a correspondent
sought an interview with him, relative TO
a published interview, in which he was
represented as making certain statements
about the organization of the Senate in
case Of President Garfeld's death and q
dispatch from Blaine summoning him to
Washington. Senator Beck replied that
he had been in the Northwest for nearly q
month on private business and that he
had seen but very few newspapers and
had not seen or heard anything about the
matter inquired of until he had reached
Cincinnati. He said he had received n
dispatch from Blaine and had not been
near Washington and was astonished
when he heard that such a report was in
circulation. As to the other report, he
said that the only foundation for it was
that on more than n occasion men said
TO him that the Republican leaders were
seeking to pursuade the people that
the sympathy expressed by the Democrats
and especially by the Democracy Of the
South for President Garfield, was all a
sham; that they would rejoice at his
death and at the assassination of Arthur
II they could elect a President pro tenn
pore Of the Senate, who would thus be-
come acting President. He denounced
ali such suggestions as to assassination US
neither Democratic nor a Southern vice,
and maintained that our desire for the
restoration of the President to health WIS
genuine and heartfelt; that in the event
of his death nothing revolutionary or
illegal would be attempted; that probably
Mr.. Anthony or some other conservative
Republican would be elected; that GER
tainly the Democratic party did not seek
a mere semblance Of temporary
power by q double assassination with one
House of Congress against them, and the
other a tie. Senator Beck said he had no
idea al any time that his statements would
be reported, and his chief regret seems to
be that any one would suppose that he
was anticipating the policy TO be pursued
in the event OF the Presidents death.
when he is so anxious for his recovery, or
that he should suggest in advance what
the Democratic Senators ought to do. He
said he was only one of thirty-seven; one
who had never bolted any; one who had
never sought TO dictate. He hoped and
believed that the President would reccov-
or, and would not indicate any course on
the assumption that he would not What
ever he may have said was TO repel the
charges or intimation Of bad faith or rev.
dictionary purposes on the part Of the
Democracy.
