Who the Newspaper Readers Are.

Who the Newspaper Readers Are.
Edward Box in Brooklyn Standard Union.
Men are distinctly newspaper readers.
do not imply by this that they never
read anything beyond the newspaper. But
busy man-and the successful man can
be naught else-has little time for the
careful reading of periodicals or books
And, with the completeness of the modern
newspaper, especially the Sunday issues,
covering as it does every phase of thought,
he is more satisfied to have his reading
end there than he was 10 or Is years ago.
Undoubtedly, men take up the magazines
of the day, but to s'leaf'' the Century, or
run over'' the pictures in Harpey's or
dip into some North american Re0ieo
article is as far as hundreds of them go.
This fact is substantiated by glance at
the subscription list of any of our great
magazines. Three fourths of the sub
scribers are women. OF course, there are
men who are assiduous readers, but they
are men of leisure. But how many men of
leisure have we in our modern life? The
American man has still to learn the lesson
long ago learned by his English brother,
that day equally divided between bust
ness and leisure means greater and surer
wealth than day entirely given over to
business.
The Englishman reads far more than
does the American. and mainly for the
reason outlined above. If careful statis-
tics could be collected on the reading done
by men in this country-not the men of
literary pursuits, who read because it is to
their benefit that they shall do SO, but
the reading done by the great average run
of American men-the figures, l warrant,
would be surprising.

Both flowers and leaves are eaten. A more
beautiful salad cannot be imagined. The
varied yellow and velvet red of the flowers
and the green and silver leaves please ones
fancy and ones taste-the dish of flowers
far surprising the dish of herbs. The
flowers are dipped in salt, and vinegar may
be added to the leaves. The nasturtium
flower can be used, as the parsley Is, to
garnlsh dishes of all kinds for the table.
No one lives enough by himself to in
dulge in the best of all salads, that made
of onions. The Prince De Soubise was
pleased to confer his name upon an onion
sauce-one that is cooked, yet no less pun
gent and no less lingering on the breath
than the uncooked salad. Sliced raw and
dressed with vinegar, oil, pepper and salt,
the onion outranks all others as health
full article of food Yet it has to be es-
chewed by all but the hermit. Though
often debarred, the onion is loved by the
epicure, Into all dainty sauces of which
he dreams it enters subdued, yet evident.
Sauces are various, and differ as the stars
do in glory. Many titled aristocrat lives
in cookbook, and not in history, through
some gastronomic compound. Eggs, mus
tard, vinegar, oil, salt and pepper, some
times cream or milk and sugar, are the
common ingredients of sauce. although
the use of all is not imperative. The
thickness is given sauce by the yolk of
the egg and the flour of mustard. 1t re-
quires more than the necessary ingredients
to make good sauce. The quantity of
each varies according to the palate to be
pleased; there must be a harmonious
blending of all, so that the presence of
one is not more evident than another. The
saucemaker has the unlimited power of
the old darby cook who put in everything
to her liking. The proportion of oil to
vinegar is generally three fourths of the
former to one-fourth of the latter. The
stirring should be with a wooden spoon.
