Alexandria Compress and Warehouse
Company.

The undersigned respectfully calls
the attention of the producers and
buyers of cotton to the following SUI
perior facilities offered by the above
company for the COMPRISING, storage
and handling of cotton.
A large and finely constructed COM
press building, connected with covered
yards, supplied with large cisterns and
an elevated tank, kept constantly filed
with water by means of steam pump
from a well on the premises, with a
a supply of hose sufficient to reach ev-
cry part of the property in case Of fire;
thereby enabling the company to OBJ
tain the lowest rates OF insurance.
Reliable watchmen are on duty at
all hours, both day and night. The
side tracks of the Texas and Pacific
and the Southern Pacific railroads pass
in close proximity to the platforms,
thus avoiding drayage to or from the
warehouse.
Charges for storage, handling and
COMPRISING cotton will be as reasona-
BILE as those of the most favored mar
kets of the country.

How to Make the Best of It.

Editor Household Departments:
In your recent article on ''Climate
Grumbling" notice that you kindly ex-
cuse, in a measure, those of us in Florida
who may be ''grumblers" of that sort.
fear that you are too lenient in excus-
ing our failings. Although we have such
adelightful winter climate, we have plen-
ty of people here who, if they cannot
complain of the weather now, will surely
do so next summer Such are never sat-
isfied anywhere. 1t is either F'too hot'' or
"too cold, ''too damp "or too dry" or
something is the matter. 1t seems to he
an unfailing topic with them and am
getting tired of it. Why not stop this
grumbling about the heat, and make the
best of it! WANT to tell my sisters that
half of their discomfort is owing not to
the innocent climate, but to the way in
which they manage. Why should any
one heat himself red-hot over a cook
ing stove i'll the middle of the day, which
might be avoided if only little fore
thought is used? AS far as possible | al
ways cook my dinner early in the morn
ing.
What! eat it cold? Yes, why not? 1t
is just as good, just as healthful, and a
great saving from the heat of the stove,
which always seems to take away the
appetite. Ny family soon became accus-
toned to such dinners, and like them. |
find there is great deal in habit about
these things, and | think the longer we
spend our summers in Florida the more
ways we shall find of spending them in
real comfort and pleasure.
At some future time | shall behappy to
tell your readers more of my "ways Ct
doing things during the summer
months. Mrs. G.. III. A.
We shall be very glad to receive your
suggestions on this subject Also any of
your tested recipes for "cold dishes, .
suitable for dinner in summer.

Healthful Breakfasts.

1t sometimes seems remarkable that
people live as long as they do, when we
consider the laws of health which are
broken every day. Here are few prin-
ciples, which DR.. w. F. Hutchinson lays
down in the American Magazine:
A plentiful supply of meat should be
eaten at. least once daily, and this at
breakfast, when the body needs bolster
ing for the days work, and when the di-
gestive tract is empty. Taken then, with
moderate exercise, such food is promptly
assimilated and goes where it does most
good, directly into the blood
| heartily approve of late suppers, and
am convinced that the human animal,
like Others, sleeps best upon stomach
filed with light, digestible food OF
course, there are idiosyncracies there
are many kinds of people, and the kind of
food proper for one would not suit an
other; yet there need be no departure
from the rule. An elderly lady came to
me not long ago and said that it was no
manner of use; she could not sleep if she
ate anything before she went to- bed
''What had you for supper last night,
MADAME" / asked.
Oatmeal porridge, DOCTOR"
'sWell, you could not have had any
thing better calculated to keep you
awake. In the first place, oatmeal, no
matter how prepared, is devoid of nutri-
ment to any one save the very strongest
and hardest working of men. Itdemands

keeper. The meals must be served on
the minute by clock that keeps ''exact
time" Method, system, and cleanliness
are her favorite words and about the
only factors that enter into her ideas of
what a home should be.
Now, is there any real pleasure for a
guest to make visit to that home? We
should be afraid to sit down, or even
touch thing lest we disturb the painful
preciseness of everything in it. Surely,
this mistaken housekeeper has put her
methodical housekeeping in place of her
own best interests. 1t is her god, and
she is paying an exorbitant price for it.
The constant worry and anxiety, togeth-
er with her Intellectual efforts to bring her
family to observe the same cast-iron
methods, will but surely bring her to a
premature grave. Truly, the "life ismore
than meat and the body than raiment. :"
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-01-09

for conversion into chyle an amount of
nerve power that no invalid owns and
few well people can give; in every other
instance remaining unchanged in the
bowels until elected as a foreign sub
stance. Do not touch it again. Try in
stead a broiled bird or lamb-chop, with a
bit of toast"
And the change was all she needed to
make her sleep peaceful.
The fashion of beginning breakfast
with oatmeal porridge, that came from
England some years ago, has caused
more dyspepsia than any single habit
that | recall 1t places layer of sticky,
pasty carbonaceOus food against men,
brane that is already torpid enough and
needs sharp stimulus of fruit or douche
of water to start gastric secretiOns, in
stead of clogging mass like the NEAL
that all day long works i'll until it is got
ten rid of. Nutritious it is not, except to
a strong person who is in for a hard
days work out of doors, and then is in
every way inferior as food to steak and
cup of coffee with milk And [ am glad
to note it's partial disappearance from
American tables.
Another habit that is productive OF in
digestion is the consumption of salted
fish and meat at the morning meal. Nei-
ther is calculated to awaken the digest

food, nor is easy to assimilate; and
this, the most important table function
Of the day, should be carefully carried
out. Upon it depends the value of bus

hours, and no man can meet his fellows
with the serene content that means sue
cess. without a well-stored morning stom-
ach.

Tomato Soup.

Putone quart Of tomatoes in onequart

small teaspoonful of soda. Boil all to-
gether for three quarters of an hour, then
rub through colander. Return to the
kettle, add one quart OF milk, two table
spoonfuls Of sugar (if condensed milk is
used, no sugar will be needed) one table
spoonful of butter and one eoffourrubbed
together. Season with teaspoonful of
salt and a little pepper. Pour the soup
into the tureen with few bits. of nicely
toasted bread cut into small dice. A
plate of these put upon the table to serve
with the soup is better than crackers.

The Life is More than Meat, and
the Body than Raiment.

Have you ever been in those painfully
neat places where you did not feel at
home, even though it might be. called an
ideal home? Not speck of dust is seen
anywhere-not an unlucky fly is allowed
to mar the faultlessly clean windows
The kitchen floor and tables arescrubbed
every day to immaculate whiteness-not
a finger-mark can be seen on thewell-kept
furniture-not a spot on the pure white
table cloth, not a thing out of place in
that well-ordered, methodica household
The washing must be done on Monday,
rain or shine, the ironing on Tuesday
whether or no" (when even the dish
cloths must be evenly folded and ironed),
and when Saturday comes as much wor-
ry and anxiety is put into loaf of bread
or cake for the Sunday dinner, as would
suffice for far weightier matters.
The spring cleaning must be rigidly
gone through with. Not crack or cor
ner where a cobweb has unfortunately
lodged, ever escapes the vigilant, prying
eyes of this restless, indefatigable house

"Old year, you must not die,
Old year, you shall not diel"

This is the season, as some one has
said, 'sfor the soul to take an inventory
of stock on hand, and cast up the bal
ance of the years progress" We recall
some great trouble or disaster which
came to us. Our failures and blunders,
as well as circumstances that seemed to
go against us, stand out with greater
prominence than the joys and blessings
we have received. This ought not SO to
be. The new year is upon us, and there
is something very joyous in the thought
that we can have another opportunity OF
corr Getting our mistakes, "redeemlng the
time" and making better record for
ourselves. But ahl will the record be
any better? We are not disposed to de-
preciate any effort at soul-reiuvenation,
or decry in the least the value of "gOOd
resolutions" at this season of the year,
but past experience of poor human frail-
ty in this matter, leads us to be wary of
placing much dependence upon them
alone. 1t is far better to trust in high
er Power to help us bear the sorrows, tri-
ais, and discouragements that will inev-
itably come to us in one way and an
other.
The new year has for usmany unsolved
problems, and it is well that they remain
in the background hidden from our view.
At any rate, if reverses and disappoint-
ments shall be our portion, let us not
with the spirit of whimperers or towards
succumb to them, but with true Christian
fortitude, patience, and faith, extract the
sweetness that may come to us by pa
tiently bearing them. To do this, we
must remember that our happiness lies in
the path of cheerful, earnest work, not
only for ourselves, but others. This is a
good season to practically remember
those ''inasmuch" verses and Steward"
texts; then, if they are conscientiously
followed, this will, indeed, be happy new
year to us all.
