Why Children Should Eat Honey.

Thousands and tens OF thousands al
children are dying all around us, who,
because their ever-developing nature
demands sweetness, crave and eagerly
demolish the adulterated ''candies"
and "syrup" of modern times. If these
could be fed on honey instead they
would develop and grow up into
healthy men and women.
Children would rather eat bread and
honey than bread and butter. One
pound of honey will reach as far as
two pounds of butter, and has, besides,
the advantage of being far more healthy
and pleasant-tasted. and always re-
mains good, while butter soon be-
comes rancid and often produces cramp
in the stomach, eructations, sourness,
vomiting and diarrhca. Pure honey
should always be freely used in every
family. Honey eaten on wheat bread
is very beneficial to health.
The use of honey instead of sugar in
almost every kind of cooking is as
pleasant for the palate as it is healthy
for the stomach. In preparing black
berry or raspberry short-cake it is infi-
nitely superior.
1t Is common expression that honey
is a luxury, having nothing to do with
the life-giving principle. This is an
error-honey is food in one of its most
concentrated forms. True, it does not
add SO much to the growth of muscles
as does beefsleak. but it does impart
other properties no less necessary to
health and vigorous physical and intel
lectual action. 1t gives warmth to the
system, arouses nervous energy, and
gives vigor to all the vital functions.
TO the laborer it gives strength-to the
business man mental force. Its effects
are not like ordinary stimulants, such
as spirits. ETC., but produce a healthy
action, the results of which are pleas
ing and permanent "a sweet disposition
and bright intellect.

An Emancipated Press.

One of the features of the present
phase of journalism is especially salts.
factory. The newspapers are more
free from the influence of the politi
clans than ever before. Even the
strong party papers display a robust
independence. They criticise freely the
measures and leaders of their own
party. Indeed they are themselves the
leaders of the organizations they sup
port. The political chief in Congress
is much more influenced by the opin.
ions and wishes of the editors in New
York. Boston and Chicago than the
editors are by his. Except in the case
of few obscure sheets that live upon
municipal patronage, the daily papers
do not care for the views of this or
that party 'boss'' or leading statesman,
save as a matter of news. Their opin.
ions and politics are their own. This
independence of the dctation and in
tluence of professional politicians
extends to the weekly press, which has
largely outgrown its old subserviences
to the dispensers of county patronage,
and become manly and selt-reliant.-

The Poodle and the Whip.

A friend of mine knew of q gentle
man who.had poodle dog possessed of
more than ordinary sagacily, but he
was under little command. In order
to keep him in better order, the gentle
man purchased small whip with
which he corrected the dog once or
twice during a walk. On his return
the whip was put on table in the hall.
and the next morning it was missing.
1t was soon aftcrward found concealed
in an outbuilding, and again made use
of in correcting the dog. 1t was, how
ever, again lost, but found hidden in
another place. On watching the dog.
he was actually seen to take the whip
from the table and run away with it in

Josiah Mason the Birmingham PEN

Young Mason's answer was addressed
to his fingers, which he opened out
putting the question to them quietly:
'.Are you ashamed of dirtying your
selves to get your own living?"
This took the old mans fancy and a
result Mason began the business which
ended as the greatest pen manufac,ory
in the world, and gave him opportun-
tiles to create the art of electro-plating.

How Watch Cases are Made.

Most persons have an ambition to carry
gold watch case, and yet few people know
how watch case is made, or the vast diff
ference in Inequality of them. InaSoL1D
GOLD WATCH CASE, aside from the neces-
sary thickness for engraving and polishing,
large proportion of the metal is needed
only to stifien and hold the engraved por-
tions in place, and supply strength. The
surplus is not only needless, but undesira-
bic, because gold is soft metal and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-ftting. The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal
that will supply that in which the gold is
deficient. This has been accomplished by
the James Boss Gold Watch Case 40, ~ MARK
