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 ecure ntheh highest degree gratifica-
ton, nourishment and digestibility.
But the thorough cooking of many
articles OF food accomplishes another
object. 1t guards against some of the
worst diseases. One is tape-worm, an
exceedingly annoying disease and diff
ficult of cure. There are several kinds
~infesting the flesh of different kinds of
animals, al the hog, COW, sheep, fish,
etc.
Their presence in human beings is
always derived from the flesh which
had been eaten, and which had con-
tanned the living germs. Says a writer
in the Medical Reporter, 'sMy tania
(tape-worm) patients have all been
addicted to eating either raw ham, or
beef, or both. Countries where the
custom prevails of devouring the flesh
reeking warm and streaming with
blood are the classic lands of the
tania."
The pork tape-worm is the most
difficult to get rid Of, its head being
armed with hooks which cling to the
walls of THE intestines. However many
joints r expelled, the head can pro-
duce as many more.
The beef tape-worm has a larger
head, and grows to twice the length OF
the former, but it has no hooks and
though it has suckers, it IAN be more
easily dislodged.
The fish tape-worm, which extensive
ly effects people who subsist on fish
found III the seas OF northern Europe,
is the largest OF all.
Now, simple cooking is certain to
render the worst injected food perfect
ly safe. But the cooking must be
thorough in the original sense of the
word. The meat must bedone through
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. It is a
much more dangerous malady than
the former. But this, too, is as easily
guarded against in the same simple
| way.
Even the Violent poison generated
by an early stage Of decomposition in
flesh, fish and eggs is destroyed by boil
! ing.

What Maud s. is Doinn

Maud s., the pride of the America
trotting turf, is daily being logged IL
John Murphy, the trainer. After

Seventh avenue as far as McComh,5

her was on December %. Fron,
then until February % she had onla
walking exercise. On that dav how.
ever, Mr.. Bonner concluded to have
Murphy drive her, and he has been
giving her good road work every fina
day. As 500 as Mr.. Bonner's priyats
track at his farm in Westchester 4
tit to drive upon she will be sent
there, though Murphy will still train
her. To a reporter who called at the
Ledger office recently Mr.. Bonner said.
"Just what | will do with Maud {
| have not yet decided to nv own
satisfaction. She will be put in az
good condition as possible, but wheth-
er she will ever trot any more public
trials | cannot say. Do / think sbe
can lower her record? Well, it has
never been my policy to make pre-.
dictlons about my own horses. but
| will say all the good Judges who saw
her trot III POS "a have told me
that it was not the full measure other
speed. One of the most difficult thinos
to do is to drive a horse, against
time, especially a hish-mettled one
like Maud, that trots on her courage.
If the driver hasn't anexceedingly fine
sense of the pace at which he is tray.
cling he is likely to overdo it before
he reaches the critical part OF the
mile. The horses chance is often
ruined before the home stretch is
reached. In many instances horses
have been jumped out in the early
part OF the journey. Now, if two
horses about equally fast start out to
race n horse proves q gauge to the
other. Just a little iniudiciousness
spoils all. So far as Maud SIS pres
ent condition is concerned, / think
she was never better-in fact couldn't
be. AS a road horse / never had one
that pleased me more"
Murphy being such a fine Judge Of
pace, d great many believe that Maud
S. will do better under his tuition
than she has aver done before. In her
fast trials under Blair's management
her quarters were a trille irregular.
Once he let her trot the first quarter
of a mile in 80 3-4 seconds-a 201
pait-and this In the face OF the fact
that she would have to breast a head
wind coming down the home-stretch.

The Swedenborgian Idea of
What Hell is.
Milwaukee Sentinel.


"What People Do in Hell" asermon
by the Rev. Jabez Fox, was read be-
fore the Swedenborgians at their morn
ing service. According to Mr.. Fox
hell is an organized society, having
laws and officers, and divided into
separate communities, or 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 q
government for their own interest
and ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Then II 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 he's
formed by his evil life in the world, It
is better for such q one TO be with his
like. He would be more miserable TO
live among angels. 1t is true, the INC
of an evil spirit in his own world Is,

Two Clever Detectives, rs they
Say.

"@J
There are two detectives on the force
n New York who are sworn friends
and close chums, and yet two more
strongly co~ntrasted men it would be
almost impossible to find. One is a
nan of Hebraic birth named Heidel-
oerg-talky, noisy, showily dressed,
With black hair and eyes, a loud voice
and an everlasting fund of anecdotes
about him and his partner. The part
leep type named Dolan. By carefully
'efraining from speaking for the past
;wenty years on the force he has built
up a reputation for sagacity, profund-
ty and intuition which nothing can
shake. Dolan has q set scowl and a
thoughtful look of the eye. If he hap
pens to be staring at a post or glaring
1T a wall when Heidelberg comes
around thelatter gentleman will seize
his friends by the arm, drag them into
the shadow and say impressively:
"Sh-hole up a minnte-get on to
Pat Dolan over there! See that man
think! He's got that there brain Of
MS onto somethin' and he's goin' to
fetch himself out q winner or my
names mud" After an impressive
pause, Mr. Heidelberg goes up to his
partner and salutes him respectfully,
Introducing his friends solemly. Do

The whole party adjourns to the bar.
There Mr. Heidelberg, with the elo-
luence of his sunny nature, losses OFF

end of each story with some express
SION, as Didn't | Pat?" 'Isn't that
so, PATTI" or "Are those the facts or
lin't they, Pat?" To all of which
queries Mr.. Dolan yields a calm, dig
nified but emphatic assent. Just be-

usually takes the principal member
aside, Jerks his thumb towards Mr..

idential tone:

"Well I'll give it toyou on the level;

in the profesh."
A significant wink, a warm pressure
Of the hand, and a steady glare inten-
sites the assertion, and Mr.. Dolan,
with great dignity, withdraws. After
he has gone Mr.. Heidelberg is apt to
stand and gaze after him with an ex-
preston OF plaintive affection. Then
he will rouse himself with an effort
and say morosely and ambiguously:
"That man, Pat Dolan, has got a
brain on him like a beer barrel. Ger
tain parties, whose names | won't
mention, may try to keep Pat Dolan
down, but it don't go. You hear me?
1t don't CO."
The two men are warm and inseper-
able friends and wonderfully good Off

panies his friend to a Jewish love feast
and COMFORTS himself with a calm
bearing and an elegance of manner
which wins friends for him on every
side. The following evening Mr.. Held

is adiudged to be one of the most ele-

The tomb was empty; in the misty dawn
Angels sat watching, but the Lord was gone.

Regretful stood the three, with doubtful

Their gifts UNDECIDED N in vain their quest.

They course the earth, and eycrmore again

Yet happier that morning, happier yet,

And gave her gift aforchand to her Lord.
