Living Economically.

1t has been said, and with more than a
single grain of truth, that in nearly every
family in this country enough food is
wasted to keep family of the same size
and means in Europe. This waste begins
in careless or unskilled buying, and ends,
after the waste of unskilled cooking. in
the well-filled scrap bucket. The follow
ing hints and suggestions will be found
worth considering. If faithfully brought
into practice, many family that now
finds it difficult to make both ends meet.
will discover the way out of trouble and
embarrassment:
The art of living economically and we'll
is an accomplishment which our people
know little about and vet it is one on
which the question of independence may
exclusively turn.
The family of limited means which
turns the scraps of broken victuals to the
best account, takes advantage of the
market by avoiding the high priced arti-
cles, and limiting itself to those which are
cheaper and nearly as good, and suffers
nothing to be wasted. will live comforta-
bly,. and save enough to secure a compare
tive independence in the course of years,
while other families, in similar situation
that neglect these little lessons, will re.
main poor and dependent. 1t is not what
a man earns, but what he saves. that de-
cides the question of independence in this
country.
The art of living includes the minor
arts of buying, marketing, cooking, serv-
ing. furnishing, and the other little details
which the Germans and French excel in,
and which Americans too often hold be-
meath their notice. With practical
know ledge of these, family may live
well and save money on the same stipend
which another will entirely squander,
without securing an equal degree of COM
tort.
The variety of food articles in this coun-
try is so great that there are few occa-
sons when thrifty housekeeper may not
be able to secure a comparatively cheap
dinner, even when many staples are high.
1t is true, when meat and potatoes are
high. families of small means find it a
hardship. But there are thousands of
persons in the community performing no
hard manual labor who do not need meat
and potatoes three times day. nor even
once day. Soup-the art of making
which is one every family ought to acquire
may be prepared with few bits of fish
and bone and vegetables at trifling cost.
and when skilfully made goes far toward
compromising for the absence of meat.

A correspondent of the American Guilt
vator says that his sheep all through the
winter months get no hay; nothing but
straw and malt-sprouts. After lambing
he gives the ewes clover hay, and few
mangels, malt-sprouts or roots. He claims
that he can winter twice as many sheep as
he can summer.

In this the Eastern sage merely anticipated
the practice of the best physicians OF to-day.
What life itself is, nobody knew then-no-

TIE ACQUITTAL OF NUTT.

the verdict of acquittal upon the plea
which bas so often served in similar
insanity at the time tie act was
committed The simple verdict of not
guilty would have commanded at least As
much respect without any reason given.
Fnule opinion has acquitted Mutt OF
blame, not because of any doubt of his
mental accountability, but because. un.
der the exceptional circumstances the
homicide was held to he iust!fisble
That is the real meaning of his acquiltpl
and it would have shown really more
respect for law 10 say so frankly, rather
than invent plea which must be recog.
pizeed as unsouni and which, under
other circumstances. would be condemnt d

The case was exceptional, first in the
peculiar depravity displayed by the mur.
