An Idea Ina Book Reading,

take very little stimuIant. A glass OF
bitter beer at luncheon and a glass of
claret or port at dinner about comprises
my indulgence. The habit of using to-
bacco never acquired. My evenings are
devoted to social enjoyment with my
family and friends, or to reading, writ
ing, and study. think it is good plan to
read two or three books at the same time
so that when the mind tires of one it can
turn to another as relief. In selecting
these different books | think it well to
vary their character as much as possible
If one is of heavy, ponderous character,
pursuing some line of thought which re-
Qures close and constant strained mental
attention. let the other be of a lighter,
more amusing character. 1t is remark

The Highland Cook.

During the earlier visits of the royal
family to Balmoral, Prince Albert,
dressed in very simple manner, WAS
crossing one of the Scotch lakes in a
steamer, and was curious to note every
thing relating to the management OF
the vessel and among other things cook
ing. Approaching the galley" where
a brawny Highlander was attending to
the culinary matters, he was attracte
by the savory odors of n compound
known by Scotchmen as "hodge-podge, "
which the Highlander was preparing.
"What is that?" asked the prince, who
was not known to the cook.
"Hodge-podge, sir, was the reply.
"How is it made?" was tho next ques-
ton.
"Why, there's mutton intil't, and tur.
nips intipt, aud carrots intil't, and"
Yes, yes" said the prince, who had
not learned that "intiPt" meant Into
it," expressed by the contraction intilt {;
"but what is intirt?"
"Why, there's mutton intirt, and tur.
nips intirt, and carrots intil't and"
"Yes, see, but what is intirt?"
The man looked at him, and seeing
that the prince was serious, he replied:
"Thore's mutton intiPt, and turnips in.
tilt, and"
"Yes, certainly, know" urged the in.
quirer; slut what is intirt-intilt?"
"Ye daft gowk!" yelled the High.
lander, brandshing his big spoon, "am
no telling what's intirt? There's NUT
ton intilt, and"
Hsre the interview was brought to a
close by one of the princes suite, who
was fortunately passing and stepped in
to save his royal highnoss from being
raped over the head with the big spoon.

Proofs Of Prosperity.


The more one investigates the figures and
the deeper one delyes into statistics re-
lating to the condition of our various indus
tries in the present year of grace, the more
apparent il becomes that, whatever else may
be said regarding them, there is no ground
for the pessimstic cry that has poverty for
its theme The reports which come from
the manufacturing centres and which
bear upon all the staples of con-
sumption, tell the universal story
that, while the past half year
has not been period of in
ordinate speculation and overtrading, it
has been notable for the immense quantities
of manufactured goods that have gone into
consumption, state of things possible only
when the great army of wage-earners are
spending money freely, as they have been
of late The touchstone of the matter, the
sales of raw material since January, reiter-
ates most effectively the testimony of casual
observation at the marts of trade or at the
homes of the people.
Wool has gone into consumption at the
rate of 10 per cent in excess of last year !;
spinners have taken since September 220,-
900 bales of cotton over the same period
last year or between : and 3 per cent. ex-
cess Nfflle tne VI
tured goods in the wooden and Gotten in
dustries are reported as unusually small
Detailed statistics, relating TO the iron
business and published by the Advertiser
not long ago, showed that there was con-
sumed of American pig iron during the first
six months of this year, 5,20s 49, net
tons, an amount greater than that
ever before used in manufactures
for this portion of year ana
exceeding the consumption of the cor
responding period in 1891 by nearly ,230,-
900 tons. Our frequent reports from the
shoe manufacturing towns have shown, for
several months past, degree of activity
unprecedented in the history of the trade,
while at present manufacturers have. IN
many instances, orders sufficient to keep
them busy for several months to come,
And so, through all the list of necessary
commodities. there is the same experience
of extraordinary activity at mills and work
shor,s to meet the unusual demand that Is
apparent everywhere.
In the face of such condition of things,
it is the senselessness of folly for any class,
either for political or other purposes, TO at
tempt to make it appear that poverty is
rampant or that want prevails TO any great
extent in anv section of the country, and
any party tina, has this for its rallying cry
is bound under existing conditions to meet
with deserved defeat.
