Use No Sugar on Oatmeal.

s'Be careful how you eat oatmeal, "
said a doctor recently to reporter.
Oatmeal is very healthy food if taken
properly. No food is healthy if I'M
properly used"
.How should it be eaten?"
'If oatmeal is eaten in excess of the
needs of the body for proper nutrition it
overloads and taxes the system 1t must
not be eaten partially cooked. Flour,
corn meal, rice and other approved
articles of wholesome diet are not healthy
if half cooked If an excess of sugar or
other sweets is used it will disagree with
many people, causing indigestion. If
eaten with an excess of cream it will not
be healthy for some persons whose
stomachs are too delicate to stand a rich
food. Oatmeal is a healthy food when
not used for over feeding, when suf-
ficiently cooked and when not used with
an excess of cream or sweets Oatmeal
should be eaten without any sweets,
using little milk or cream. a little but

The Rule of the Raiahs.

The rajahs tax Their subjects, live In
splendid palaces, have their zenanas filled
with many wives, keep elephants and
stables filled with hundreds of horses of
noble herds, protect the game of their
dominions for their own sports, let tigers
live in their jungles within few miles
of their capitals to eat the unwary peas
ants, because these poor peasants are not
allowed to keep firearms or to shoot game,
which depredate upon their little fields Of
wheat; this these native princes will be
permitted to do until England wishes an
annexation, and then an excuse will be
found for such annexation, and the
aforesaid rajahs viii be pensioned off,
and their dominions will become another
province of her imperial majesty's en-
pire of India. The country of Raiputana
is considered rather desolate, but from
what saw the soil is rich, but can never
do its full duty to man until better and
general system of irrigation be intro
diced and trees can be cultivated to su.
perinduce a more regular and generally
dltfused rainfall. - Chicago Times.

Used to Riding ThorOughbreds.

A wealthy rancher of Wyoming
territory recently related a story of a
rich young Englishman who, while
looking about the west for good in
vestments, visited his ranch. He
stayed there a few days, and one after
noon as the cowboys were about to
round up a bunch of COW ponies the
young man said that he would enjoy
good ride in the saddle. He said he
was used to riding only thorough
breds, and he didn't think they had a
horse good enough for him. The boys
convinced him that they had one of
the finest horses on the plains, and if
he knew how to ride he was welcome
to the animal.
He was apparently insulted when
questioned about his ability to ride and
answered that he could ride any kind
of a horse. A sleepy looking bronco
was brought out from the corrals and
saddled Though he appeared half
dead he was the worst bucker in the
herd. "'Es lifeless, said the foreign
er, when the pony was brought to
him. The boy said the mag" would
wake up after the first mile, and the
visitor got into the saddle. He didn't
hnger long. The first buck jump
placed him on the horses neck, and
after a second he was in the atmos-
phere. He turned a double somer
sault and landed ON the sharp end of a
cactus plant. When he picked him
self up one Of the boys asked what he
thought of the Thoroughbred now

the solitary confinement in which he has
been held pending trial, is allowed to

When, however, a political offender

Books Pub ished Last Year

The number of books published in this
country last year was 4,437. This is
something more than 1000 less than
were published in 1886, the difference
resulting from the falling off in COPY
right books. and the increase in story
newspapers and magazines. The cheap
publication system is accountable for q
good deal of this, but one is at a loss to
know where the nearly 1000 new publ

Fiction In Bengal.

From the last report of the director
of public instruction in Bengal on the
vernacular of the Presidency during
the past year it appears that fiction
and poetry both flourish, and that
works in both are increasing largely
but it is doubtful whether the sub
stance or form of Indian fiction has
been improved by our occupation of
the country. For instance, great
change is said to have come over the
writers in Bengal. The younger gen.
Grafton of writers of works of fiction
is permeated with the melancholy idea
that happy state of things is passing
away, under the influence of western
civilization, never to return. The lead
ing work of the year is based on this
idea; it describes the fate of a family,
the young men of which begin to
doubt the wisdom of the head and to
think for themselves; disputes and
divisions follow; they lose their good
name, and finally, by an awful fate,
the family dies out altogether. st.
