Nutritious Value of Oatmeal.

1t is nearly SIX centuries since Robert
Bruce sent into England his army oftwenty
thousand men with no provisions except a
bag of oatmeal for each warrior; but the
herculean feats which were performed and
undergone by his hardy followers suggest
that there must be considerable nutriment
in that plain, simple food. Since those
days our Scottish friends have advanced
very materially, but while they have dis
carded many features incompatible with
the spirit OF the nineteenth century, they
have wisely held fast to what is good"
and they to-day rank oatmeal as neces-
sary part of their regular diet, and the
hardy constitution of the Scotch, and their
freedom from dyspeptic ills, should encour-
age much wider and mere frequent use
of oatmeal. The best oatmeal of to-day,
thanks to American ingenuity, is not only
nutritious, but when properly made is very
palatable. Children learn to like it very
quickly when it is presented in this pala-
table form, and if they become accustomed
to begin each day with dish of the best
oatmeal they will be laying the foundation
for good digestive organization.
As there are many who are incredulous

palatable, | subioin the following hint of
Mrs. Rorer upon the subject, which appears
in an earlier issue of Table Talk:
" Put four tablespoonfuls of finest quail
ity of Irish oatmeal, with one quart of
cold water, into a double boiler; add a
teaspoonful of salt, and stir for moment
to mix. Stand it over brisk fire and
boil without stirring for two hours, or un-
til the meal has consumed the water, and
the mass has thick jellylike appearance !;
push it to the back part of the range,
where it will steam over night. In the
morning bring the water in the under
boiler to a boil; then turn the oatmeal
carefully into large, deep dish. Do not
stir or scrape with spoon If properly
cooked, it will turn out like boiled rice.

Rling the Democrats,

tCetg''9ht, lSSS, by pe tdlio associated Press
WASHINGTON. September 18th. = The
Democrats are in very bad shape Just now
The Republicans have them in such posi-
ton that they do not know which way to
turn. 1t is generally admitted that Con-
gress is occupied with game of political
chess in which each party is seeking to
checkmate the other. 1t is the Republi-
cans turn now.
Tomorrow night the Democrats will
hold their caucus TO see what can be done
with the Oates resolution OF adjournment.
The party is 3 very much divided one.
The leaders are doing all in their
power to prevent the passage Of the resolu-
ton, but Notwithstanding their efforts the
feeling is in favor of an early adjournment.
1t would not be a surprise if the Demo-
cratic resolution was passed tomorrow
night. This would put the Democrats in
the position of having forced an adjourn
ment on the Republicans, and prevented
their tariff bill being completed. All
through the present session the Democrats
have been kept on the defensive, and it
looks as though the Republicans would
keep them there to the close of the session.

requested by such members.
