Mrs. Phelps and the Queen on

Current history records the fact that

to England, went out to WindsorCas.

two women-both together, ofcourse,
naturally fell to talking about house.
keeping, and that the burden of the
conversation was on the comparative
merits Of English and American jams.
So they tasted and talked and had a
merry time. Epicure experts in this
country say that our trade Jam does
not compare with the English trade
jam. In fact, it is claimed that in the
matter OF jams, as in SO many other
delicate matters offood and clothing,
the English excel all other people. 1t
is understood that Mrs. Phelps, who
has been studying jams all hef life,
readily admitted this much to the En-.
press, and that they were fast friends
to that extent. Various suggestions
have already grown out OF this histor.
ic chat. Mrs. Phelps, it appears,
could not draw out of Victoria the Sc
cret OF making English jams. If she
knows, the Empress keeps that secret
as sacredly as Mr.. Gladstone keeps
his home ~rulyscheme to himself. But
a general hope is expressed that the
agitation of the jam question may
lead to MORE honesty and care in tho

Barnum and the Boomerang

"Do we everget fooled?" exclaimed
Barnum, when asked him if he was
often ledinto wild goose chases after
things that turned out to be ordinary.
"Well, should say SO. There's no

of travellers as to the alleged wonders

fact, and the native Australian saw
ages fling it at game-missing about as
often as hitting; and it will return, if
it strikes nothing, to somewhere near

amounted to nothing in particular.

The Poor in Germany.

The condition OF the poor in Ger
many is shocking. "In 1867" says
a correspondent OF the Philadelphia
Times, "when the first systematic
survey OF the housing OF the poor in
Berlin was scientifically carried out,
there lived 29O, 900 human beings in
dwellings with bat one room each that
could be heated. and besides these
there were 10000 Others in dwellings
with no opportunity for heating
whatsoever. In the nineteen years
that have interviewed the population
OF Berlin has increased enormously,
and it is probably safe to assume
that to-day these numbers are toe
small rather than too large, while ii

Cautions for the Aged.

Age works great physical changes,
many ofwhich aregenerally recognized.
Some o them involve dangerousli abili-
ties, and impose the need of constant
caution.
One is to guard against undue ex-
ertion. The tough, elastic coat Of the
arteries is apt to become, on the one
hand, chalk-like and brittle, or, on the
other, fatty and weak. Nature seeks
to guard against the consequent dan
ger by rendering old persons less in
clined to effort. But a little extra ex-
ertlon put forth suddenly, may cause
the weakened vessels to give way, from
the increased force with which the
heart throws the blood into them.
Hence may result apoplexy or fatal
aneurism-the latter being a sudden
bullying out OF arteries.
So, too, the heart itself (orits aorta
the great curved trunk which first
receives the bloodfrom theheart) may
be in asimilar condition, and suddenly
fail because OF undue eAertion, wheni it
might have been equalto the ordinary
WIN Va yCdtS' GuSli Ho QouDG WIS
the late case, where an elderly gentle
man hurried to reach arailroad train,
and fell dead on entering it. The aged
should firmly refuse to hurry.
A like caution applies to whatever
quickens the action of the heart.
Every one knows the power OF violent
emotions in this respect. No one
wishes to fall dead in a fit OF anger.
Undue eating, especially of stimulat-
ing food, is almost as dangerous. All
the appetites need to be kept under
control.
A special caution is needed in de.
scending stairs. Inournormai volun.
tary movements there are certain nice
adjustments effected by unconscious
mental acts. But age affects such q
change in the brain substance that
mental activity is lessened. An ole
man a no more think as quickly as
q young man than he can run as fast
or jump as high. Hence the missteps
OF the aged in descending stairs. Agec
persons, therefore, shouldsform the
habit OF taking their bearing, so tc
speak, at the top OF the stairs, anc
keep their mind on each step down by
q conscious voluntary effort.
The aged should also most carefully
guard against q chill. 1t is more dan
gerous for an old man to catch colo
than for a young man to catch {
fever--youth's Companion.

Tom Corwin's Ready Repartee
From The Louisville Courier-Journal.

from line Louisville Courler-J o urnal.
John C. Calhoun once pointed to q
drove OF mules just from Ohio, and
said to Corwin: "There 60 some of
your constituents" "Yes," said Tom
gravely, "they are going down south
to teach school," Governor Brough
was once matched against Corwin,
and in the midst of his speech said:
Gentlemen, my honored opponent
himself, while he breaches advocacy
of home industry, has q carriage at
home which he got in England-had it
shipped across the ocean to him, how
is that for supporting home industry
and labor?"
When Corwin came on the stand he
made a great show OF embarrassment,
stammered, and began slowly: "Well,
gentlemen, you have heard what my
friend Mr.. Brough has to say OF my
carriage. plead guiltyt to the charge,
and have only two things to say in my
defence. The first is that the carriage
came to me from an English ancestor
as an heirloom, and | had to take it.
Again, l have not used it for seven

Now, gentlemen" with a steady look
at Brough, II have nothing further to
say in my defence; but l would Ike to
know how Brough knows anything
about my carriage if he has not been
visiting my chicken roost."
One OF the neatest rostrum retorts
ever recorded vas made by Coswin to
Tom Hamer, who was also noted as a
wag and stump speaker OF great pow
er. 1t was in 1910, and a joint debate
was being held between the two in the
old .housein Columbus. Hamer
was the leader of the Ohio Democrats
and n member OF Congress, and in the
course of his remarks denied the "hard
times which the Wings claimed exist
ed, and said that he had not expe-
rienced any. AS he was holding an OF.
fee at good salary, he opened the
road for Corwin's response. In max.
ing his reply he said he would answer
Mr.. Hamer's question by asking an
other, Yankee fashion, and would take
it from holy writ: 'Doth the wild ass
bray when he hath grass? Or lowetf
the OK over his fodder?" Mr.. Hamel
could take a joke as well as give one
and laughed heartily with the rest.

The Cooking of Food.

From the Youths Companion.
The cooking Of food makes one sig
nal difference between brutes and civ
ilized man, and perfect cookery seeks
to secure in the highest degree gratifca-
tion, nourishmena and digestibility!
But the Thorough cooking OF many
articles Of food accomplishes another
object. It guards against some ofthe
worst diseases. One istape-worm, an
exceedingly annoying disease and diff
fcult Of cure. There are several kinds
infesting the flesh of different. kinds Of
animals, as the hog, COW, sheep, fish,
etc.
Their presence in human beings =
always derived from the flesh whics.
had been eaten, and which had con-
tained the living germs. Says a writer
in the Medical Reporter, sMy t@nia
(tape-worm patients have oil been
addicted to eating either raw ham, or
beef, or both. Countries where the
custom prevails of deyouring the flesh
reeEing warm and streaming with
blood i the classic lands Of the
tmnia.' 80
The pork tape-worm is the most
difficult to get rid Of, its head being
armed with hooks which cling to the
walls ofthe intestines. However many
joints are expelled, the head "a pro-
dnce rs many more.
The beef tape-worm has a larger
head. and grows to twice the length of
the former, but it has no hooks aud
though it has suckers, it can be more
easily dislodged.
The fish tape-worm, whichextensive-
~ effects people who subsist on fish
found in the seas of northern Europe,
IS the largestof all.
Now. simple cooking is certain to
render the worst infected food perfect
" safe. But the cooking must be
thorough in the original sense of the
word. The meatmusts be donethrough
to the very center.
Another disease is trichinosis, in
which millions of minute worms de.
rived from pork find their way into
and imbed themselves in every mus
Gle and tissue OF the body. 1t is q
much more dangerous malady thar
the former. But this, too, is as easily
guarded against in the same simpl,
way.
Even the violent poison generated
by an early stage OF decomposition il
flesh, fish and eggs is destroyedby boil
ing.

The Swedenborgian Idea of
What He'll is.
Milwaukee Sentinel.

Milwaukee Sentinel.
"What People Do in HE'LL" asermon
by the Rev. Jabez Fox, was read be-
fore the Swedenborgians at theirmorn-
ing service. According to Mr.. Fox
hell is an organized society, having
laws and officers, and divided into
separate communities, Oh states, as
the kingdoms OF men in this world
are. He says: "And we know hell
must abound with shrewd, cunning,
scheming men, who would form a
government for their own interest
and ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Then if one
joins himself at last to some society
OF devils in one OF the hells, it is from
choice. And the Lord finally permits
it because, with the character he has
formed by his evil life in the world, it
is better for such a one to be with his
like. He would be more miserable to
liveamong angels. 1t is true, the Ifs
OF an evil spirit in his own world is,
i'll comparison with heaven, most
wretched and miserable and full OF
pain and torments; but it is the best
OF which the evil spirits are capable.
In the true light OF heaven, the state
OF the lost appears as it really is; and
thus it looks just as low and sordid
and dreadful andpainful and hopeless
as it really is; and the evilspirits look
as mean. foul, base, and deformed as
they really are. In hell everyone acts
from the love of self; and SO everyone
antagonizes every other, and would
do harm rather than good, if an ex-
ternal force did not prevent. So hell
is governed by force. and evils are
violently repressed. If they were not
society would be utterly destroyed.
To compel unwilling obedience terri
BILE punishments are inflicted, and
the most vindictive cruelty is shown.
The evil spirits are as busy as men
in this world are, and there is active
social life, and a very ancient arts
tocracy. and in all this ambition and
jealousies and rivalries beyond what
we have any idea OF, and chickering's
and strlfes and contentious, and never
any peace, rest, and security. The
people there are the bad from this
world. with all their evils aggravated
and let loose; and it is easy to SCI
how they make a perfect hell.
