origin Of the DahlIa.

No flower of the garden has bloomed
more profusely and beautiful this
fall than the dahlia. The plant was
found originally in Mexico, and was
similar to the single petaled specimens
now popular. A plant was sent to Mao
rid in l1ss, where il was seen in blossom
by the Able Cavanilles, who named il
after his friend, Professor Dahl, OF Stock
holm. In 1904 Humboldt went TO Mexico
and sent 90 Europe seeds of the wild
dahlia, and from his seeds TIM plants now
grown universally descendce. BY de-
grees It doubled and sported tlAit be-
came the perfect flower we now enjoy

Solving the Cheap Food Problem.


 Five cent meals have been often dreamed of, but one that could be eaten has never been known, in this country at least Everybody knows that there is enough good meat wasted in Chicago every year to feed all the people that so often go hungry, but the trouble is to use 1t. When we called attention to the high prices prevailing the butchers at once replied that the trouble was everybody wanted DOT terhouse steaks and none would use the other pieces that were perfectly good, but not so easily cooked.
 But H. M. Kinsley, the well known restau- rant man, thinks he sees way in which he can benefit himself and some poor people at the same time Such beef as he uses in his restaurant costs 9 cents pound. An entire carcass costs S13 cents 8 pound all through. Buying by the carcass instead of by the loin he figures that he can save the steaks and roasts for the restaurants, and then, with good cooking, make the rest of the meat palatable, and thus sell wholesome food to the poor at a nominal cost.
 His scheme is to establish large kitchen in the poorer district of the city, and he says he can furnish good soup and bread enough for four for 20 cents, and can feed family of six for half dollar. Nothing but the best of material is to be used, nothing that is left over from other meals, but simply meat that is not served in the restaurant. "The scheme is not charitable one," said Mr. Kinsley; tit is wholly and purely a business proposition, but if at the same time I can furnish good, cheap food to poor people, food that is fit for their children to eat, such as much that they now use is not, think will be doing good thing at the same time. Such a place will have running by inter."-Chicago Herald.

Boring an Artesian We'll.

The mechanical operation of boring a well is exceedingly difficult, and many of the fail ureS to obtain artesian water in tested dis triots are undoubtedly due to the carelessness or ignorance of the we'll borers, or to the in- efficiency of their tools The American, ap- paratus, most of it patented and manufac- tured by various firms, seems to combine strength and utility to greater degree than the European machinery described in text books. A complete we'll boring outfit can be had for from $4O0 to $500; and sometimes farmers club together, buy an outfit, and work it themselves, though it is always best to employ trained well borer. The danger of breaking tools, of dropping something in the bore, or of checking the descent of the pipe, so that a smaller bore must be adopted, are dangers that only great skill can avoid. Wells that start out bravely with bore of fifteen inches in diameter, often fail to strike water with more than six or eight inch bore. The flow at the top is of course dim finished correspondingly. A we'll of uniform size throughout, pipsd with a tight casing, so that the ascending water does not escape into the surface strata, will deliver the maximum amount possible-Charles H. Shinn in Overland Monthly,

On train between Jersey City and Pater- son a poorly dressed woman, carrying a baby in her arms, walked through two coaches and was unable to find seat. The railroad hog was there In dozen cases he had the whole seat by himself, and he meant 10 keep it. The woman finally found refuge in the smoking car, and by and by the hog went forward to enjoy a Havana and found her crying.

 The hog has been robbed of his bristles. WQman's tears have melted his selfishness. He returned to his car, gathered the other hogs about him, and said:
 "Come downl Poor widow-sick baby no home. sCome down."
 The hogs went down for their wallets, and in ten minutes the sum of $40 was put into served:
 "There-there-it' all right-not a word Now come back hereI"
 And as she followed him into the coach a dozen hogs rose up and insisted that she take their seats, and all gathered round her to voice the sentiment:

Increased Demand for Horses.

In lecture on "Horse Breeding" de-
Hvered by James Wood, of Westchester
county, N. Y, occurred the following
statements: The demand for horses is
constantly increasing. Europe cannot
supply her own needs. Great Britain an
nually imports 10000 from other coun-
tries. The immense armies of the conti-
nent are making an ever increasing de-
mand, and if the threatening war cloud
bursts the destruction of horses will be
SO great that this demand will be beyond
the possibility of supply. 1t is freely an
bounced in Europe that America alone
can meet these demands. Competent
officers from the German, French and
English armies have made extensive ex-
aminations in this country as to our
equine resources, and have made very full
reports to their respective governments.
Even in times of peace they are drawing
upon us.
The demands of our home markets are
constantly increasing. In New York city
alone II, 600 horses die every year, and as
many more become lame or are otherwise
disabled and are sent into the country,
from which they never return. hcreas.
ing business makes increasing demands,
and while the substitution of electricity
for horse power upon the street railways
will doubtless, in the near future, injure
the market for inferior horses yet the re-
quirements of new industries will more
than counterbalance this, but probably in
superior grades.

GOOD ADVICE ABOUT EATING.

doctors Smashing Old Time Superstitions
About Different Kinds of Food.
Some recent remarks by DR. James c.
White. professor of dermatology in Har-
ward university, are directly in line with
in these columns on the subject of sensi-
ject concerning which people need infor-
and there are very few subjects on which
more ridiculous notions are extant. "One
mans meat is another mans poison" is
an old and true saying, yet great ma
jority of mankind have ideas of diet that
are formed from the experience of other
people, and these ideas are very commonly
absurd. DR.. White disposes of some of
these notions. by the authoritative utter
ance of thorough scientist.
For example. he touches on the old
wives fable that butter in liberal quanti-
ties will cause childrens faces to break
out with butter sores" He declares,
what intelligent people have long known,
that good butter uncooked is perfectly
harmless food so far as the skin is con-
cerned. and he might have gone much
farther, for the limitation was unneces-
sary He says, however, that the notion
alluded to probably came from the fact
that the use of impure butter in food
otherwise indigestible may have dis
turbed the stomach and produced impure
blood in some cases 1t is more likely to
have come from the efforts Of parents of
limited means to curb their children's in
diligence in an expensive dainty 1t is
certain that much of the prejudice against
candy came from this particular cause,
though with candy. as with butter, the
prejudice is entirely justifable in refer
ence to adulterated and impure grades.
Nothing is more common than to hear
parents tell their children that eating
candy will ruin their teeth, but it is most
likely to be an utterance dictated by
economy At all events. no educated
dentist will indorse the statement
The notion that buckwheat cakes and
oatmeal are productive of skin diseases is
also attacked and pretty thoroughly de-
molished by Professor White as well as
that absurdity about tomatoes which was
started by Dio Lewis generation or 80
ago He said that tomatoes were Pro-
ductive of cancer and that they loosened
and destroyed the teeth. Dr. White de-
clares tomatoes and oatmeal to be harm
less and valuable foods. and points at the
simple TACT that the only danger In eat
ing buckwheat lies in the fact that
it is apt to be served up hot in the form
Of improperly cooked cakes. These may.
and are very likely to. upset the diges-
ton. He declares. moreover, that good
digestion and healthy appetite will take
care of the skin so far as the effects of
food are concerned, and that it matters
little what kind of food is used so long as
it is pure, of good quality and properly
prepared. The healthy stomach will turn
it into good blood This, it will be seen.

Historian Parton's First Book.

James Parton is living in quiet part of
the picturesque old town of Newburyport.
A writer in The Boston Post tells the story
of how Parton, who was born in England
sixty-six years ago, came to be the popu-
lar biographer of many eminent Ameri-
cans: lone day, while he was employed
on The New York Home Journal, he dined
at restaurant with Mason Brothers,
publishers, and the talk turned upon
books. Parton happened to say, What
an interesting story could be made out OF
the life of Horace Greeley if a person could
only get at the factsp One of the pub
fishers said, Why don't you do itY The
young man replied that it would require
and expensive journey and year of labor,
and that he could not afford it. A few
days later the firm agreed to advance the
money requisite, and the book was thus
assured. Parton went from house to house
in New Hampshire and Vermont, making
inquiries Thirty thousand copies Of the
work were sold, which yielded the author
$4,000 above the cost of production.
Upon that most insufficient capital the
author said, Il had the temerity to set up
in business as book maker. THE Ar
