Honey Tor Children.

Children would rather eat bread
and honey than bread and butter.
One pound Of honey viii reach as
far as two pounds Of butter, and
has, besides, the advantage of being
far more healthy and pleasant tast-
ed, and always remains good, while
butter soon becomes rancid and Of
ten produces cramp in the stomach,
quotations, sourness, vomiting and
diarrhea. Pare honey should al
ways be freely used in every family.
Honey eaten upon wheat bread is
very beneficial to health. The use
of honey instead of sugar in almost
every kind OF cooking is pleasant
for the palate as it is healthy for
the stomach. In preparing black
berry or raspberry shortcake it is in
fitely superior.
It is a 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 beef
steak, but it does impart other prop
critics no less necessary to health and
vigorous physical and intellectual
action. It gives warmth to the sys-
tenn, arouses nervous energy and
gives vigor to all the vital functions.
To the laborer it gives strength-to
the business man mental force. It's
effects are not like ordinary stimu-
lants, such as spirits, etc., but it
produces q healthy action, the re-
suits Of whih are pleasing and per-
mene1cka sweet disposition and a
bri6l Ta;ntellect. American Guilt

In the several government departments this
afternoon the feeling over the election was one Of
general dependency. While many OF the officials
and clerks did not give up hoping they all admitted
that the outlook was anything but favorable to
them. Most OF them felt that the incoming OF a
democratic admin stratiOn would make pretty
clean sweep of repu bl1cans in the departments
some hoped that Cleveiands avowed adhesion to
civil service reform might save them. The chief
clerk OF one bureau advised his subordinateS to
save up their money and thus prepare themselves

Majority OF Eighty Electoral Votes.
From the New York Times

"A MAJORITY Oh EiSnty EleCtOfal VOteSs
From the New York Times.
The Times informed its readers yesterday morn
ing that Grover Cleveland had been elected Presi-
dent OF the United States. II during the confusion
of the day any was led to doubt the corr ect-
ness OF our conclusion, it was because he fooishly
allowed his faith TO be shaken by the eXtravagant
Mlsehoods and buster of the defeated The re-
turns we have received during the last "a hours
confirm and make certain what we then asserted
with full confidence New York has been carried
for the democratic electoral ticket by plurality OF
1900. The returns on which this total is based
very nearly complete, and the official count will
but slightly vary IL. The six votes OF Connecticut
and New Jerseys nine are assured to Cleveland by
substantial pluralities. The democratic majority
In Indiana will be nearly 10000 giving fifteen more
electoral votes to Gov. Cleveland, and Wisconsin
may be confidently counted on for eleven more,
While there is a strong probability tnat the success
OF the fusion ticket in Michigan will add nine more
to his Increasing majority. This gives him 239 Of
the 431 votes OF the electoral college, majority OF
50, only 159 being left to Mr. Blaine, should he
have carried California with eight votes, and Ne
vada with three, which he may yet be compelled
TO give I'D.
