Too Many Meals.

There is, says Sir Andrew Clark, grow
ing up in the nursing world habit of
having far too frequent meals in the day
and far too much variety at them. Meals
should not be multiplied in the way they
now are. The plan of having tea before
breakfast, lunch at IL O'Clock, then dinner,
tea again in the afternoon and supper at
night is about the worst plan that can be
adopted. Nurses should have three meals
aday-good, sensible meals Of fresh, simple,
nourishing food. Women have but one
notion about food, and that is that the
oftener they eat and the more varied the
food the better they will be. This is mis-
take.
Having three simple meals of plain,
nourishing food, and nothing between
them, is the best way of sustaining the
health and of supporting the body. The
diet of twenty-five years ago, when nurses
had plain bread and butter for breakfast
at half-past 6, a dinner consisting of joint
at l, and cold meat supper, was much
more fitting for the maintenance of health
and the support of the working powers
than the diet of the present day.
Children should be well fed. Some are
overfed, but far more are underfed. They
should be fed on abundance of bread, milk,
eggs, rice, barley, and oatmeal in every
form.-Hall's Journal of Health.

Danger in Wearing Rubbers.

sufferers apply to me for relief. If a man
has corn l can take it out and relieve
him, but if he is suffering from what call
rubber fever" can't help him and can
only prescribe liberal foot bathing and a
removal of the cause of the trouble. Rub
bers should only be worn to keep wet out,
and they should be removed the moment
the wearer gets indoors. Failure to note
this gives man wet feet in far worse
sense than if he had waded through mud
ankle deep. 1t was the trouble resulting
from forcing the perspiration to soak the
stockings and keep the feet perpetually

kissing with Tongues.

1t may, perhaps, be suggested that one
reason for the very long delay in the prac-
tice of the mutual kiss was in the general
use by one or both of the sexes OF nose rings
or labrets, either of which would prevent
the approximation requisite. If such use
be not admitted as a causa sufficiens, it at
least affords evidence that the kiss was not
customary among the people by whom nose
rings and labrets were worn. Indeed, Pro-
lessor Dali gives instances where, labrets
being common and the kiss unknown, the
tongues are protruded in affectionate sa-

QUAKER CITY SUED.
Opening of Litigation in the
Bardsley Steal.

Opening of Litigation in the
Bardsley Steal.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. S.-The COM
monwealth has fired the first shot in
the litigation growing out of the Bards-
ley defalcations. Two suits were
entered to-day, one against the county
of Philadelphia, and the other against
John Bardsley, late city treasurer.
The first is to recover personal property
tax for 1890, amounting to 1922, 013. II,
and the second for license taxes,
amounting to 1921, GOALS, less credits of
$3.50, 900 on account of taxes paid by
brewers, brokers, theaters, wholesale
and retail liquor dealers, since the first
settlement and during the months of
March, April and May, 1891.
Under the construction of the act of
June /. 1889, the county is required to
pay into the state treasury the entire
amount of personal property tax for
1899, less the per cent commission of
the county treasurer; when this is done
the auditor general will issue his war
rant for $3.50, 937.07 in favor of said tax
under section 16 of the act of 1899 On the
30th of last December, the auditor gen
eral issued a warrant of S150,000 as part
payment of the one-third amount, and
June IS, 1891, there was paid S150,000 Oh
the general account, which WAS included
in the settlement. Attorney General
Hensel contends that no defense can be
made, because no exceptions to the
statement of account were filed will in
the required period. When the bonds
men of John BardSley pay $4,000, the
amount of their bond, that will go as
credit Oh his account.

UNION PACIFICLOAN
A Syndicate Formed to HandI
Them

A Syndicate Formed to Handle
Them.
New YORK, Aug. S.-A director Of
the Union Pacific, who asked that his
namo be withheld, said to-day that it
was true that a syndicate had been
formed to look after the loans
of the road. He said that the
only thing wanted for the per-
fecting of the arrangement was the
approval and cooperation of j. Pier
pont Morgan, of DreXel, Morgan & Co.
The latter was out of town, but was ex-
pected to arrive here tonight or to-mor-
row. Several large banking houses
have Signified their willingness to CO.
operate. The earnings of the road would,
during the next year, probably amount
to S24, 600, 900, netting $50, 100000 availa-
BILE for the payment of the floating
debts.
All the banks and trusts and financial
institutions are Interested. 1t would be
a serious matter if the Union Pacific
had to default upon any of its obliga-
tions. 1t would do more to depreciate
values than the gold craze. The har4
vest this year will be a phenomenaiIy
large one, and at the end of the year
the United States will have larger
balance of gold than at any time in tha
previous history of the country. Three
hundred million dollars in gold at least
ought to be received from Europe.
There will be large amount of bread
stuffs to sell and Europe must buy
them. The Union Pacific will reap
large benefits from the great crops.
Not the slightest trouble was expert
enced in getting large capitalists to join
the syndicate.

ITS THIRD SEASON.

Preparations Of the Choral Asso-
citation for Its Next Concert
Series.
The St. Paul Choral association is be-
ginning active preparation for its third
season. The present board of manage
ment consists of Gustav Y. GOetZen,
president; Charles w. Eberlein, vice
president; 0. Z. Roberts, secretary and
treasurer, and d. F. DeWolf, A. a. Nc
Kechnie, c. c. Gregory, and F. P.
Luther. with Samuel A. Baldwin as
musical director. The plan for the coming
season includes three concerts as hereto
fore. Handel'S messiah" the middle
of December; a concert of part songs
and shorter works the middle Of Febru-
airy, and BerliOZ's examination Of
Faust'' about May l, with William Lud-
wig in the role of MephistOpheles. An
active canvass has already been begun
in order to secure adequate financial
support, and it is hoped the coming sea-
son will see the association IN much
firmer position in this respect than ever
before. Season tickets have been
placed at s. each, so as to bring the
concerts within the reach Of as many as
possible. This price is unusually low
cnsidering the high character and cost
of the concerts. These tickets are now
in the hands of the secretary and officers
of the association, to whom application
may be made. The high standard Of
the choral work will more than be main
tanned. The membership of the chorus
will be increased somewhat over last
season. and a few good singers can be
received on each part. Any such who
desire to become members of the as
ociatIOn. should make application to
the director at Dyer's on any Tuesday
or Friday afternoon

The Coming Worlds Fair.

It is an acknowledged fact that every
one in Minnesota, as we'll as America,
will want to attend the Worlds Fair
and spend a week or two in Chicago
in 1898, and the momentous question
they would ask themselves would be-:
''How can get there? 1t will cost so
much that l will not have the money
when the time comes, and will be
doomed to disappointment again and
for life. There never will be another
Worlds Fair" which is all true.
But thanks to the Worlds Fair Trans
portation Company, the above obstacle
has been set aside, and the golden OPP
portunity of one hundred years is offered
our good people to enjoy the greatest
effort of their life and attend the Won
der of the world with the highest
degree of comfort from the time they
leave until they return at the smallest
possible expense, which never can be
missed, inasmuch as it is made up by
weekly saving in your home bank of
only 50 cents. All this and more are
guaranteed you by toe Worlds Fair

BOLD AND ORIGINAL,
But Your Uncle Benjamin Will

TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. S.-The most
remarkable set of resolutions which the
Alliance has yet sprung Oh the public
comes from Elk county. Several where
asses tell the condition of the people and
announce that the loan companies and
the banks have refused to loan any more
money in Kansas. Continuing, the resO-
lutions say:
That, where we have made a good
crop the unjust hand of monopoly has
been so we'll played as to make it i'm
possible for us to sell the surplus for
more than the cost of production, so
that we are still left unable to pay our
mortgages. Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, that we ask the president
of the T. A. and l. .. of Kansas to i'm
mediately call a convention OF the
people for the purpose of petitioning
the president Of the United States
to Immediately assemble congress for
the purpose of passing a law where
by the United States can issue legal
tender treasury notes to the amount
needed. and loan to the people above
mentioned at low rate of interest, with
the privilege of paying small annual in
Stallments on the principal, until the
whole is paid. and that the government
shall be secured by the land above men,

grasp of the money power OF the world.
and give them a chance to save their
homes.
EThe Cincinnati platform is fully in
dorsed and congress is asked to pass a
law making everything that circulates

is unnecessary to state that with such
prize In sight, clue to the base SIAN
derers was soon obtained. The mid
night maraUder was member of The
Kids, and on the head of that youthful
organization impTecatiOns in large
square chunks were hurled. RE
Yenge" was now the watchWord of the
Happy Hollow folks. and it was not
long before they were afforded an OPP
pOrtunity of getting back at their HUI
morous neighbOrS in manner which
turned the laugh in another quarter.
One evening, when the kids had left
their dOmicile to attend picnic hop,
or some other youthful pastime, a ven
turesome habitue of Happy Hollow. who
had got onto the hiding 1place of
their latch key, stole into their
quarters and proceeded to make
the place look like as if
the folks had moved out. He tied all
the blankets and bedclothing in hard
knots, upset the furniture, and StreWed
the floor with the kitchen and table
ware. When the kids returned in the
early morning and saw how nicely they
had been done up," they sat right
down and gave vent to their feelings in
little djtti, which ran something like
this:
They done us up,
just like pack of gillies.
We thought we had done immense, dye see,
But just the same they got back at 'Wei'
Oh, what roast;
Well bet paper collar,
They don't get a chance to do US up
In hundred years to come"
The song concluded, the boys went
over to Happy Hollow and serenaded
their friends, the enemy, with the above
chorus sung in seven different keys.
And thus ended the hostilities. the two
camps being on the best Of terms from
that day to this.

PLAYING AT WAR.
The Newest Account of Affairs at
Chill.


Chilli.
WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-The Post this
morning prints an interview with
Aquilla j. Daugherty, United States
consul at Callao, Peru, who has just re-
turned from that city, in which he says:
The present war In Chilli is the most
ridiculous revolution / ever knew or
read of. 1t does not deserve the name
of revolution. The revolutionists are
stationed at Iquique, several hundred
miles from Santiago, where Balmaceda
has his headquarters. Balmaceda has a
force of 10000 men at his command,
and the insurgents have 1000. Between
these two capitals OF the opposing forces
lies mountain range that is simply
impossible by any armed force.
There is absolutely nothing upon
this barren range of rugged
mountains to sustain an army. and it is
impossible to carry across it that which
is necessary to support an army. The
insurgents know this and Will not at
tempt it. They have no ships with
which to carry theil men by sea, and If
they had they would soon be destroyed,
for Balmaceda has the whole coast pro-
tected by torpedo boats. Balmacedo Is
we'll supplied with the sinews of war,
and goes on with his government ignor-
ing to great extent the efforts of the
insurgents.
This idea of party of revolutionistS
being 700 miles away from the people
against whom they have TeYolted, and
totally unable to come nearer to them,
strikes an American as being very far
removed from what we would call in
surrection or rebellion. In the mean
time, while opposing the party in
power, the insurgents are living well and
seem to be prospecting. They occupy the
rich district of Tarapaoa, with its
boundless quantities of nItrates, ter
ritory Chill a few years ago wrested
from Peru. From the large revenues
they derive from these nitrates they are
enabled to feed themselves and live
comfortably. Merchant vessels put into
Iquique and trade IN this product as
they did before the rebellion, and the
money thus brought to them is the
chief income of the insurgents"

WEATHER AND CROPS.
Conditions of the Past Week in
the Northwest.

Conditions OF the Past Week in
the Northwest.
WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-The follow
ing IS the weather crop bulletin issued
by the weather bureau: The week
opened cooler than usual throughout
the country east of the Rocky Mountains.
A warm wave developed in the North
west on the 81, and advanced slowly
over the upper half of the country, the
week closing with warm weather in the
upper ATTITUDES from Wisconsin east
ward to the Atlantic, covering the Ohio
valley and the entire lake region, with
cooler weather over the Dallotas. Hot
winds blew over South Dakota on the
9th and It'll, the temperature reaching a
maximum of 100 degrees at Rapid City
on the 9th, and 104 degrees at Pierre on
the 18th. The temperature excess for the
week in the DakOtaS, Southeast WyOm-
ing and Nebraska ranged from degrees
to degrees daily.
MinnesOta-Harvesting is in progress
in central and southern counties, and a
large yield of small grain is reported.
Corn is much improved by the warm
weather, but needs rain; serious dam
age by hail is reported in northern
counties.
WiscOnsin-In the southeast and CEN
trail counties the ground has been too
dry to sustain growing crops under the
prevailing heat; the corn, potatoes and
grass are whitening. In other sections
of the state the warm weather improved
the corn, and everything promises an
abundant yield. Tobacco is in fine con-
dition, but cranberries have been slight
ly injured by frost and heat.
The Dakotas-The weather conditions
have been favorable for harvesting the
corn crop in South Dakota, and the ad-
vancement of all crops in North Dako-
ia. Harvesting has just commenced in
North Dakota, while it is nearly finished
in South Dakota. The indications are
for the best small grain crop for many
years in some localities. A drouth has
been prevalent in portions of South Da-
kOta, and hail has done some damage in
both states.
