A Dissertation on Beans.

It is a fashion nowadays to decry this
staple food of our grandmothers. Beans
are said to be coarse. indigestible, only
suitable for the laboring classes. 1t Is even
whispered at times that they are vulgar,
and when Madam Grundy issues this edict,
who so bold as to defy and persist? Let
Us be deceitful, let us be vain, nay even. let
as be dishonest, but vulgar!- shades of

they form a most nutritious. appetizing.
healthful and economical food. not only for
stout men and boys. but for delicate women
and children as well. Not one time in a
hundred are they properly cooked, especi-
8lly when left to servants. They contain
"a per cent. of nj rogenous matter in the
form of legumine, or vegetable caseine.
and are therefore more highly nutritious
than any other food Were it not for the
fact that. as usually cooked, they are rather
more difficulty of digestion than many 9TH
er foods, there would be questions as to
their super-emlnence as diet. One pound
Of beans contains nearly SIX ounces of heat

The economical woman who means to
provide beans in some form once a week,
at least during the winter, will find it bet
ter to buy them by the bushel. They will
keep indefinitely, and the price per bushel
IS much less proportionate than the price
per quart. For instance, In New England
She price per quart is now ten cents, while

ut" Can't Love Anything.

A little girl was reciting her lesson in
conjugation.
Verb to love, indicative mood, pres
ent tense, called the teacher.
4 love, thou lowest, he or she loves, >
said the little girl.
He, she or it loves prompted the
preceptor.
1T can't love anything" pleaded the
little girl
And the teacher, suddenly struck with a
new idea, only replied: Go on
And this idea, new to the teacher, but
not to some others, was that grammar as
taught by book is humbug. Only very

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
HARD TIMES.
FRANCIS 5. SMITH.

A merchant sat in his easy-chalr
Reading the morning news
He skinned O'erall It's contents,
Including the book reviews.
Then he started from his mansion
For his office with a sigh,
And groaned ''HaTd Times" IN anguish,
When beggar passed him by.
4 broker sat in DelmonIco's-
The stock had adjourned
Twas plain to see his work that day
No profits had returned,
For as the waiter pressed him
For fee, he gave frown,
And muttering angrily, Hard Times!
He drank his champagne down.
4 lady sat in her boudoir,
All elegance and grace
Her dress was of the richest,
And trimmed with costly lace.
She sighed, ''AIy Charles growing
Very careful of his dimes!
I'd have a.diamOnd necklace
If it weren't for Hard Times!'
In a comfoFtless day apartment
white-faced woman sat,
While the merchant, broker and lady
lizard Times were railing at.
And her landlord stood before her
With frown upon his face,
And he cried, lizard Times, old woman."
Pay up or leave the place."
Then he turned from the frenzied woman
And went to another room,
Where the starving, penniless tenants
Sat shivering in the gloom.
And here with scowl of anger
E1Hard Times he did repeat,
And when money was not forthcoming
He turned them into the street.
and now the thought comes DER me
That it might work some cure,
For these lizard Times if wealthy folks
Could suffer as do the poor.
In other words "a still small voice"
This truth to me imparts,
-Tis not the times that are so hard,
HTis only human hearts.

There is a story told of a lady who one
day went to call on Fuseli, painter, who,
when there was need for it, could express
himself with emphasis. Her careless
chatter did not allow him to get in even a
word edgeways. At last a pause to take
breath gave him time to say: 1--WE had

Long Distance Electric Lighting.
New York Commercial Advertiser.

New Ork UOmmerclaI AuVertIser.
Among the unexpected developments
which have taken place from time to time
in the electrical industry, probably none
has created more surprise than that of long
distance incandescent lighting, and it now
begins to look as if ere long incandescent
circuits would be reaching further than
arc circuits. Two large plants have just
been installed on this system, which both
have special points of interest. In one
case the current is generated by water
many miles from the center of utilization.
In the other case. the fuel used under the
boilers is sawdust and shavings. In both
instances, although there is use of what
would otherwise 60 to waste, the customers
of the plants are afforded the best light
that is known to the world to-day.

The Butcher Bird.

A Scranton man who had observed a
butcher bird carrying off bumble-bees and
sparrows finally traced the bird to a large
thorn bush hard by the river bank, nearly
half mile away. Impaled on the sharp
thorns he found thirteen beetles, eight
bumble-bees, i've shriveled mice, and the
skeletons of seven English sparrows.
While he was making this interesting dis
covery of the butcher bird nice and accu-
rate work the master of the bush suddenly
appeared, circled about the spot number
of times, piped spitefully at the intruder,
and seemed to be greatly afraid that the
man was going to disturb its choice and
neatly arranged collection of things.

Mai Queen victoria is a woman Of rnor.

That Queen Victoria is woman of more
that ordinary force of character is clearly
shown by the fact that during her recent
visit to Wales she ON several occasions fat
tered the natives by addressing them in
their own language. Moreover, she is able
to both read and write Hindostanee with
considerable fuency. There are but few
ladies who at the age of 70 would have the
perseverance and the courage to acquire
proficiency In two such overwhelmingly diff
cult languages as Hindostanee and Welsh.
