Virtue in Onions and Beef.

What is the most Strengthening food
FOR a convalescent? Well, you know, the
beef tea theory has been exploded. The
most life giving and digestible food that
can be given to one just recovering from
an illness is chopped beef. just take a
pound of the finest round of raw beef, cut
off all the fat, slice two onions, and add
pepper and salt. Then chop the onions
and meat together, turning them over and
over until both are reduced almost to a
pulp. Then spread on slices of rye bread
and eat as sandwiches. People talk about
celery being nervine, but let me tell you
that there is nothing which quiets the
nerves without bad results like onions.
The use of them induces sleep, and much
strength is obtained from them. That is
my ideal food for those convalescing or
for any one who is in q weak state Of

Cleveland's Future Home.

Mr.. Cleveland intends to remain a
citizen of New York State, and on his
retirement from Federal Office he will
select some portion of the State in which
he will make his home, says Washing
ton correspondent of the Brooklyn Eagle.
Those most fully aware of the drift of
his thought in this regard say that at
present the choice lies between Albany
and Brooklyn, with probability that
Brooklyn will be selected, although it is
known that there are many ties which
draw him to the State capital. That
decision, however, is matter for the
future. The remuneration of Buffalo as
place of residence has been formally
made and is final. The act leaves the
President without voting place in the
State until he determines where in the
State he will live, and consequently he
did not vote in the State in 1886 OF

How the Sparrow Came.

The English sparrow's advent here
was very like the rabbit which Australia
is SO anxious TO get rid Of. 4 miller
caterpillar, Indigenous to this climate,
was found to lie destroying the trees in
the parks, besides being nuisance in
consequence of its propensity to hang
from the trees by weblike thread.
Persons passing under the trees were
liable to have the crawling creatures
drop down their nccks or upon their
clothes, and some remedy was sought to
rid New York of these pests. A for
eigner suggested the importation Of a
few sparrows. Sevcnty-tive pairs were
brought over from the Old World, and
the severe winter which followed killed
the birds. A second attempt was made,
and every one was asked TO care for the
little creatures and build sparrow
houses. This was done and the sparrows
were saved the next winter. The young
broods raised in the country were soon
able TO take care of themselves. 1t did
not take long for the acclimated for
eigners aud their descendants TO migrate,
and now they are found all over the
United States. --Nelo York Nail and EE-

Rats,s Teeth.

The rat is finely equipped for the pecu-
liar life he is ordained to lead. He has
strong weapons, in the shape Of four
long and very sharp tceth-two IN the
upper Jaw and two in the lower. These
teeth are wedge-sh shaped, and, by won
derful provision of nature, have always
fine, sharp cutting edge. On cxamin-
ing them carefully, the inner part is
found to be of a soft, ivory-like compo-
sition, which can easily be worn away,
and the outside is composed of a glass
like enamel, which is exceedingly hard.
The upper teeth work into the under, SO
that the centres of the opposed teeth
meet perfectly In the act of krawing,
hence the soft part is being continually
worn away, while the hard part keeps a
sharp, chisel-like edge all the time, and
at the same time the teeth are constantly
growing up from the bottom, SO that as
they wear away fresh supply is ready.

One Of the Successful Ones Tells How IL
is Done.
No proper estimate Of the future econou-

that does not take into consideration an eie-
ment which may be termed 1.-THE woman IN
business"
She is knocking at all the doors Of com
mercial enterprise, and there are very rev
into which she has not already forced an
entrance, The results seem to indicate That,
beyond doubt, she has come to stay.
She cannot perhaps often reach the levers
which move the great driving wheels OF bust
ness, but she proves a most important factor
in the minor but scarcely less important
machinery of detail.
Phil Armour's private secretary is a
young lady who was first employed as a
stenographer and typewriter. She proved
SO capable and efficient that her sphere OF
usefulness has been gradually enlarged, until
she now has probably closer acquaintance
with Armour's extended business than any
other person connected with it.
1t used to be claimed that woman had
neither physical nor mental stamina to con-
duct a large business.
Mrs. Frank Leslie has made a success Of
as complicated business enterprise as almost
any in the country. The strong point in this
case is that when she took the helm, the
Feank Leslie Publishing Company had but a
short time previously failed.
Madam Demorest conducts very extern
sive business, which includes the publishing
of magazine Mrs Annie Jenness Miller
conducts famous dress reform movement.
and is also the editress Of very successful
magazine called Dress Her daily mail is
said to be larger than that of any other
woman in the United States.
Mrs Miller says: "Warner's safe cure is
the only medicine ever take or recommend.
The safe cure has the effect to give new
energy and vitality to all my powers"
These women have demonstrated that the
sex can succeed in business if they take
proper care of their health. That is the
main point, even with the sterner ser, and it
is the subject to which, above all others, the
women of to-day should give their attention.
And here, as everywhere, comes in play the
old maxim. IAN ounce Of prevention is

A Wonderful Beetle.

The light of the fire-fies of tropical
America seems to be dependent upon
the will, as when feeding or asleep it is
not seen, attaining its greatest brilliancy
during activity and flight. The color
of the light is a rich green, but the eggs
emit light of blush tint, according
to Dubois. This naturalist has made
some extremely interesting experiments
with the Pyrophorus. The eggs which
he dried retained their luminosity for a
week, the light reappearing when they
were placed in water. He ground the
luminous organs IN mortar, after hav-
ing dried them in vacuum and then
mixed them in boiled water, the latter
Immediately becoming luminous. DR..
Dubois concludes that the light of the
Pyrophorus is intended as illumination
for itself alone. TO prove this he COW
cred one of the upper lights with wax
and the animal moved in curve; when
both spots were covered the beetle soon
stopped and then moved in an uncertain
manner, carefully feeling the ground
with his antennq. The spectrum of the
light was extremely beautiful, being
continuous, without dark or brilliant
rays hristian-0t- Work.
