HOW AND WHEN TO EAT.

Directions for Persons DESTROYS OF Avoid.
ing Indigestion.
Never eat food when not needed, simply
TO save it, for in doing so, it is twice
wasted. 1t is thrown away in the stom-
ach. as it is not transformed into health
and strength. but becomes source Of
disease and suffering. Ii had better Do
thrown upon the land. to. reappesr IN
the form of vegetation
Never eat at bed time. nor when very
much exhausted. nor i'm great haste. for
in so doing the seeds of dyspepsia are
easily sown. If you have not time TO
eat a fair meal properly, you will gain
by eating just what you can eat like an
intelligent being, taking it so mOder--
ately that il may be well chewed and
mixed with saliva, so that it may be di-,
gested, as that only is of any Importance,
i'm the promotion of health and strength.
Never harbor the foolish and absurd
idea that the richer your food Is ia
grease, spices the sweets and the like,
the more nourishing it will be; for the
palmer food contains the most available
nourishment, bread being the "staff of
life" The complicated dishes are often
so difficult of digestion that even less
strength is obtained from them than
from one-half of the quantity of plain
and substantial food, while some kinds
of so-called rich foods exhaust more
strengthen the vain attempt to digest
them-than they can afford, making an
actual loss
Never hurry unnecessarily. or at
tempt to do more labor than you can
fairly do, unless sure of having ample
time in the future to rectify errors or to
be sick
Never eat between meals, not even Of
fruits, if YOU are at all troubled with in
digestion, or are willing to become a
dyspeptic at some time. No amount of
hard work will justify lunches, rs the
stomach can not digest food when taken
so irregularly, nor well dispose of more
than three meals each day.
Never take ice cream or ice water sc
your meals, or during the digestion of
them-within four hours after taking
them-when satisfied that q ''cold dim
ner" will prove unfayorable in your
case. as ordinary food is never half as
cold as these articles, Ut is not neces-
sary to be governed wholly by our
tastes, especially when that is vitiated by
bad habits. )-Golden Rule.

Beads, which also serve them as cur
rency, are the commoncst ornaments.
Frequently as many as four pounds of
small ones may he seen wound around
the neck of one person. A couple OF
strands are suspended from the slit in the
lobe of the ears, and the women tic few

china ones arc those usually preferred.
Very little bead-work was attempted be-
fore 1874, and the designs were of the
simplest kind, being limitcl to straight,
curved and zigzag lines. A fringcd and
painted buckskin pocket is suspended
from the bead necklace 10 hold small

The Christmas Tree.

The Christmas tree itself was SYM
Dol. The early Germans imagined the
world as great tree, it roots taking hold
on the centre of things, its top lost in the
heavens of the gods, and whose fruit
was the food of heroes and martyrs and
all great souls who had blessed or who
were to bless the earth. When Chris
tianity was accepted tho old idea took
another form, and the fir tree became,
in its symbolic shape, tho emblem Of
Chrst's resurrection and life. Tho burn
ing candles indicated that he was the
light of the world the gifts, Gods gift
to man, and to complete the embodied
parable the image of the Christ-kind
signifcd reward, and the companion
always near, punishment.
If St. Nicholas appeared in the Tyrol,
his loaded bag of presents holding re-
ward for every good child, by his side
marched the terrible Klaubauf, who, at
one glance, knew the faults of the year,
and in one word could lay them before
the Christ-kind. If too intolerably
naughty, he simply slowed the offenders
in his bag and marched away with
them, silence surrounding his disposition
of the load.
In lower Austria it was worse, for there
Klaubauf came in his terrible DEVILS
mark, while in Bohemia he was followed
by goat, who seized and held the bad
children while he beat them. In Arabia
with the Christ kind came Pehznitkcl
ringing a bell and bearing great
earthcn pot filled with gifts, the same
being figuring as Clas in Hanover and
Joseph in Silcsia. Through all the
northern countries Santa Claus or Ashy
Claus judged the children, and if they
were naughty beat them with rod,
on the end of which was sack full of
ashes.
At times matters were made worse by
Klapperbock, monster with q rams
head and whose bones seemed to creak,
who followed Ashy Claus and could only
be turned away by promises of good
behavior. Everywhere the idea of tho
contest between good and evil ruled,
and everywhere good triumphcd, and
the Christ-kind with smiling eyes
watched the joy of the happy children
for whom Santa Claus emptied his

Rainbow Parties.

A St. Louis paper says: "Rainbow
parties bid fair to DO fashionable craze
in the West End this season. The young
ladies will assemble at s p. M, each
wearing some simple pretty toilet, the
striking feature of which will DO a
bright-hued apron of cambria or silcsia,
and carrying with her gcntleman's

rainbow being represented in the variety
of aprons aud ties. The latter will be
shaken together in hat and the gentle
men will draw for them. The tic match

young ladies will decide his fate as her
escort to the dining room, and moreover
assigns TO him the agreeable task of hem

PEAKLS or THOUGHT,

Expect nothing from him who prom.
ises great deal.
Three of may keep secret-if
two OF them are dead.
Pride is as loud a bcggar as want and
agreat deal more saucy.
1t isn't so much what q man has that
makes him happy, as it is what he
doesn't want.
There's nothing like settling with our
selves, rs there's deal we must do
without in this life.
Nothing is so contagious as example;
we never do either much good or much
evil without imitators.
All conservatives have once been rad
icals, and their virtue consists in having
found out that half q loaf is better than
no bread.
Men of great genius should not forget
that their foilings or vices are moro apt
to be noticed, and even admired than
their virtues.
The path of duty lies in what is near
and men seek for it in what is remote;
the work of duty lies in what is easy,
and men seek for it in what is difficult.

Reign ofthe Woman.

Man never appreciates his inlcriority
to woman so thoroughly as when he
stands before the altar in the presence of
an audience of friends, and hears the
clergyman make him husband. Nine
men out of ten in such position trcm-
be as if they were about to be arrested
for murder, while nine out Of ten wo-
men go through the ceremony as grace
fully and composcdly as if it were an
everyday occurrence. And it is this
timorous, quivering creature in a dress
suit that promises to protect the calm and
placid angel whose orange blossoms arc
her aurcolc. What delightful sarcasm
there is in the thought!
And in after life, when the husband
gets torn up by care, and when little
trouble comes to steal away his peace of
mind, how is it then2 The woman
whom he promises to protect becomes
his protector. She sees sunshine through
the clouds. She smooths out the
wrinkled brow of care. She props up
his tagging spirits. She puts new life
into his bosom, new hope into his soul,
and he goes forth in the morning with
new strength and new zeal to wrcstlc
with life and its responsibilities.

Tho Manufacture of SOAP.

The manner of making the different
grades of commercial soap is essentially
the same, though different kinds of fat
may be used. 1t is always made on
large scale, in enormous watts or boilers.
Several hundred weight of crude soda
ash is first dissolved in boiling water in
the soap-boilcr, which is huge circular
iron vessel holding from five hundred to
one thousand gallons, with steam pipe
in the centre Half the weight of the
soda IS pure, caustic, lime is then added
and the mixture boiled. When tho lime
has rcndrcd the soda caustic, the boiling
IS discontinued. Several hundred weight
of talow is now put into the soap pan,
which is different vessel made of cast
iron, to which heat is applied, either by
means of furnace beneath it, or by
steam carried by pipes around the bot
tom Of the pan. The latter is the more
usual method. The pan usually holds
several tons. After the tallow, cut up
into pieces, is put into this pan, guam
tity of the I've is added, the steam is
turned on, and the boiling continued
until the lyc is thoroughly incorporated
with the tallow, and the whole becomes
a pasty mass. Several shovefuls Of CON-
mon salt are now thrown in. This CAUSES
the I've to separate, and rs the mass
cools, the I've, deprived of its soda, is
drawn off, Fresh lyc is then added and
boiled, and this is repeated until the
tallow is saturated with the soda, that is,
it will not take up any more. Water is
now added until the proper consistency
is reached. Ifresn is to he used, it is
now added, and the mass again boiled.
1t is then run off into frames, or molds,
where it is allowed to solidify, and then
is cut by wires into bars, dried, and
packed in boxes. One ton Ct yellow
soap will require 1909 pounds of tallow
$50 and pounds of resin, with I've suf-
fccnt to make the whole smooth, per-
fcctly homogeneous and saponaceous
