Children's Distaste for Meat.
IFrom the Nineteenth Century,

[From the Nineteenth Century,
Few children like that part of the
meal which consists of meat, but pre-
fer the pudding, the fruit, the vegeta-
bles if well dressed, which unhappily is
not often the case. Many children
manifest great repugnance to meat at
first, and are coaxed and even scolded
by anxious mothers until the habit of
eating it is acquired. Adopting the
insular creed, which regards beef and
mutton as necessary to health and
strength, the mother often suffers
groundless forebodings about the flu
ture of a child who rejects flesh and
manifests what is regarded as an I'M
fortunate partiality for bread and
butter and pudding. Nevertheless, I
am satisfied if the children follow their
own instinct in that matter the result
would be gain in more ways than
one. Certainly, if meat did not appear
in the nursery until the children sent
for it, it would rarely be seen there,
and the young ones would, as a rule,
thrive on milk and eggs, with the
varied produce of the vegetable king

Blind Travellers.

can extraordinary fact about blind
people, remarked a gentleman who is
connected with a blind asylum, sis
their love for travel. Although they
cannot see, yet if they can manage to
travel about from one city to another,
nothing delights them more. The
most remarkable instance of this kind
is a lady in this city of some means.
Shewas born blind. She early evinced
a desire to travel, and her parents in
dulged the foolish whim, as they
thought it. In London she visited
the Geological Gardens and felt of
every animal, stuffed and alive. The
Alps, Apprentices and Hartz Mountains
her sightless eyes gazed upon through
the aid of her constant companion
and the guides. The Coliseum at
Rome, and, indeed, all places in Europe
renowned in history and romance,
were visited and described to the blind
traveller. She returned and spoke
with enthusiasm of the sublime sights
she had seen in the Old World. Her
descriptions were more vivid than
those Of many who could see. She
went to the Centennial at Philadelphia,
and can to-day describe more objects
she said she saw than most people
with sight. 1t is remarkable how
they enjoy traveling."

Some curious facts are developed by
reference to this table. 1t upsets
the precOnceived notion that Germany
is the champion beer-drinking nation.
Belgium and Great Britain consume
over twice as much beer as does Ger
many, while Denmark and thu Neither
lands lead the column in spirits or
hard drinks. After all our self-con-
demnation as whisky drinking pop
ulation, the United States makes a
pretty respectable showing as to tenn
perance, being sixth in the consump-
ton of beer and wine. and eleventh in
spirits. While there is more drunken
ness in England than in France, the
French are by all odds the heaviest
consumers of alcohol. The French
man is systematic wine tippler, but
imbibes by formula, INDUCING rarely
in excessive debauches, while the En-
glishman, as rule, is a sporadic
drunkard, swallowing enough of fiery
decoctions during his Saturday night
carousals in the gin mills and slums of
London to use him up morally, physi-
cally, socially and financially In
France men, women and children drink
in that country, and many Of their
bibulous population consume vast
quantities of spirits in the shape of
Cognac, absinthe and vermouth. The
use of the latter stimulant is fearfully
injurious to mind, body and morals.
Various theories have been advanced
as to the rapid spread of intemper-
ance in the numerous so-called civilized
nations of the earth, and how to rem
edy this, by moral suasion or
stringent legislation, is one of the huge
unsolved problems of the present day.
The careful perusal OF this table will be
worth something to the intelligent

same sort of apparatus for infants
born prematurely, or having a very
weak constitution This brOoder, or
"couveuse, was destined for the Ma
ternity Hospital Of Paris, where it was
first put into use in November, 1881.
The results obtained are worthy of at
tention. From November, 1881. to
July, 1888, there were treated by this
method Isl infants, of whom 81 had
been prematurely born, and the others
very feeble. A healthy infant born at
full time weighs about $500 grams.
Those infants which at birth weigh
less than 1000 grams are considered
as very feeble; that is, it is more
probable that they will die than that
they will live. Statistics show for
such infants a mortality of about IS
per cent. With the couveuse, out of
the 90 infants prematurely born 81
died and 81 lived. The time which an
infant is kept in the couveuse varies
from one day to six weeks, according
to it's condition. One infant born
nearly three months before full time
was kept forty days in the couveuse,
and lived.
HOLLOW VERSUS SOLID sHAFTING.
A shaft made in the shape of a tube
is stronger than it would be if made of
solid bar of the same dimensions.
From this, however, it does not follow
that solid shaft is increased in
strength or better prepared to stand
a sudden twist if a portion of the ma
terial is bored out along it's central
line. Frequently workmen entertain
the idea that the core of an axle or the
bearing of 81 shaft is hindrance in the
way OF strength, and is one of the rea-
sons for making them hollow; this is
not so, as it is merely the arrange
ment of the material that improves
it's strength. Boring out a. solid shaft
lessons both it's weight and it's strength,
but the material is removed from the
portion where the least resistance is
offered; therefore the loss OF weight is
greater than the loss of strength. The
particles on the outer surface are
tested to their utmost when those in
the center barely receive any action
at all, and from this line to the cir
cumference they are gradually being
brought into use until those on the
outside are ready to break apart when
the limit OF strength is reached. In
tests that have been made, results
have shown that the weight may be
reduced sixteen per cent. by boring,
while the strength would not be les
sened by more than one and half or
two per cent. The success of many de-
signs lies in so arranging the material
that where any fracture is likely to oc-
cur, as much metal may be used as is
likely to be wanted to stand the in
creased strain.-The Garden.

A Conyict's Awful Death.
from the Rochester Post.1

VIM. Costello, a Utica convict, died
at Auburn prison, Monday night, a
victim to his uncomfortable appetite
for strong drink. Monday he COM
planned of feeling i'll and was left in his
cell. During the morning he was con-
veyed to the hospital, where he con-
fessed to Dr. Congdon that of late he
had imbibed freely of wood spirit
commonly called wood alcohol. He
rallied rapidly under De Congdon's
treatment and returned to his cell.
Monday evening at about 10 O'Clock,
the night guards were attracted to
Costello's cell by hearing him groan.
When they entered they found him in
great agony. He was Immediately
conveyed to thehospital and died two
hours afterward. DIR. Congdon is of
the opinion that Costello had bottle
of wood spirit secreted in his cell and
that after leaving the hospital in the
morning he freely partook of the fluid,
with fatal effect. "Wood spirit is
used in the manufacture of boots and
shoes. Costello's stomach was actu-
ally burned out by the powerful liquid.

And still the patient earth would lend

With evening face serenely bright,
With lips that sweetly speak my name;
While through her look and smile there plays
Suggestion still of holy ways,

How Much People Drink.

The following table compiled from
official sources and recently issued by
the Federal Council of Switzerland,
shows the consumption per capita Of
alcoholic drinks, wine and beer of the
principal nations of the world for one
year. Belgium takes the first prize for
quantity, each of her population aver
aging per annum over eight quarts of
whisky, three quarts of wine and 1876
quarts Of beer. The license system of
Belgium is liberal, and the amount of
positive drunkenness there is not SO
large as IL Great Britain:

Mary Slater, Lucy Ann Lobdells
daughter, who had grown to be a
beautiful Young woman, was seized by
two men near her foster-father s house
in Damascus, and was gagged, bound,
and thrown into q wagon, which was
driven rapidly away toward the Della
ware River. In the voice OF one OF the
men the girl recognized that OF George
Kent, a young man whose attentions
she had refused a few days before.
Miss Slater was so maltreated by the
men that she became unconscious.
She was aroused by thesound OF rush
ing waters. Themen lifted her from the
wagon, and, carrying her to the river
bank, threw her into the stream. She
remembered nothing more. At day
light next morning she regained con-
seriousness again. She was lying on a
small island in the river. Shewas dis
covered by q man who lived near, who
took her off the island in q boat. Be-
fore she could give any account OF who
she was or how she came to be on the
island, she lost her reason, and was
permitted to wander away. She was
found three days later in the Sullivan
County mountains, a raving maniac.
1t was several days before she could
give an account of her mysterious dis
appearance. Kent was arrested, but
escaped from custody and was never
recaptured.
The story of the abduction, outrage
and attempted murder of Mary Slater
was printed in the local papers, and
one day it was read in Stroudsburg
jail by "Joseph Israel Lobdell," and
from his 1avings over the outrage it
was learned that che" was the woman
Lucy Ann Slater, and the mother Of
the girl. The result was that the two
singular Outcasts were returned to
Delaware County. But they soon re-
sumed their wild life, and for five years
lived in the mountains Of Wayne
County. One day In 1876 they APP
peared in Honesdale, where "Joseph"
was taken into custody as lunatlc.
HIS companion, who insisted that he
was her husband in name and fact,
prepared a remarkably able petition
which she presented to the court, ask
ing for the custody OF her husband.
In this petition she made the startling
affirmation that the prisoner was not
OlA1 A1OU11C1 OIU az lCtUl1CI NNI13 OAAS
petitioner declaring solemnly that she
had herself borne a child of which the
prisoner was the father. The court
ordered the lunatic to be delivered to
her companion, and the two returned
to Damascus Township. They lived
there until 1880, when the authorities
interfered and sent Lucy Ann to the
insane asylum. The grief of her COM
panion at the separation was pitiful,
and after few months she went away,
returning it is supposed, to her par
ents in Massachusetts.

Mrs. PartingtOn's Equinoctial.
from the Boston.Herald.

'Talking about the misuse OF
Words" said an old citizen of Buffalo,
:'Buffalo, when a village, had VERT
able Mrs. Darlington. The great gov
ernor, De Witt Clinton, came to Buf-
falo, and the good lady refer to was
his hostess. At the table she aston
ished the patron saint of the raging
Erie with some of erpeculiar sayings,
one of which has become historic.
'"The Governor kindly referred to
the Buffalo climate as salubrious and
quite delightful. Yes said the
hostess, we usually havenice weather,
except in the winter months, and when
the sun crosses the Penobscot.'
"'My dear, you don't mean the
Penobscot,' hurriedly protested the
Judge, her spouse.
"Dear, no. said she; Il mean the
Passamaquoddy.'"

DOMESTIC ECOyONY.
GRADUATED YELLOW MEAL, MUSH

GRADUATED YELLOW MEAL MUSH.
In place of oatmeal, hominy or
cracked wheat, this dish will be found
a pleasant one for breakfast. 1t is
made by putting half pint of meal
into a stew-pan and gradually pouring
upon 1T three pints of boiling water,
adding teaspoonful of salt and beat
ing well, and finally setting the mixture
on the stove to boilgently for an hour
or more. Serve cream or milk with
the mush.
BAKED EGGS.
Special dishes are sold for baking
eggs, but a soup plate answers the pur-
pose very we'll After buttering the
bottom, break the eggs into the plate,
being careful not to break the yolks.
After sprinkling them lightly with salt
and pepper, put bits of butter over
them, and cover with milk or cream.
using one-fourth of teaspoonful of
butter and one tablespoonful of milk
or cream for each egg. Put the dish
into a moderate oven and cook until
the whites of the eggs begin to set
say about six minutes. Serve at once
IN the dish in which the baking is
done.
BROILED Triple.
Use the thick part of the tripe. If it
has been in pickle wash it in cold water
and put it into astewpan with enough
milk and water-in equal parts-to
cover it. Simmer gently for half an
hour, then drain the tripe and season
with salt and pepper. For each pound
melt three tablespoonful of butter on
a plate, and after dipping the tripe in
the butter and dredging it thickly with
flour, broil it over hot fire for six
minutes. Serve very hot. If the tripe
has not been in pickle COVERT with hot
water and simmer it for only ten
minutes before seasoning it and dip
ping it in butter.
sPICED SALMON
Free OF skin and bones any salmon
lett from q dinner and put it into a
deep dish or bowl. Next prepare a
marinade, allowing for each pint of
fish the following named ingredients:
a gill ofvinegar, two tablespoonful of
lemon juice, two cloves, a small piece
OF stick cinnamon, a bay leaf, tea
spoonful of salt, and one-eighth of a
teaspoonful of pepper. Put these ar
ticles on the stove in a covered sauce
pan, and as soon as the mixture be-
gins to boil pour it over the salmon.
Cover the dish and set in cool place.
This gives a nice relish, which will
keep for week. Any other rich fish
may be treated the same as salmon.
POTATO OD1ELET.
This requires nine potatoes of medi-
UNI size, three tablespoonful of but
ter, one level tablespoonful Of salt,
one-third of teaspoonful of pepper
and a half cupful of hot milk. After
pairing the potatoes, cover them with
boiling water and cook for half an
hour; then drain off all the water and
mash the potatoes until fine and light.
Add the salt and pepper and two ia
blespoonfuls of the butter, and after
mixing well, gradually add the hot
milk, beating all the while. The mix
ture should be very light Put the re-
manning tablespoonful Of butter on the
stove in large frying pan, and when
it gets hot and before it has become
Drowned, turn the potato into the
pan, spreading it smoothly, Cover
the omelet and set it where it will
brown slowly and evenly. 1t should
be done in ten minutes. Fold it, and
turn out on hot dish. Serve at
once.
