The Love Letter.

A young girl stands alone at the
window of her chamber. Her pretty
brow is wrinkled with a frown, and
she taps nervously on the window
pane with her delicate fingers. And
as she does SO she speaks half. uncon-
sciously to herself, ~ love him-I love
him-I love him." Then she looks
%anxiously up the. street. "Why does
he not writer" she asks, and then an
swers herself, "He does not care for
He has forgotten mel love
him."
She has thrown herself upon her
white bed and is weeping in the agony
of love, when the maid enters her
room and gives her a letter from him.
She looks at it languidly until tho
maid has retired. Then she opens it
with feverish haste and reads. As she
does the look of despair on her face
changes to one of disdain. She finishes
the letter with a cold little laugh and
throws it aside. "He loves me-" she
says now, che loves me, but he has
told me too soon. Does he think l am
to be won in a week-in a day? l do
not love him, I do not care for him, I
detest him. l shall. bid him go his
way forever" And an hour later the
maid posts q perfumed note that con.
tains the single word, Life.

The Way to Drink Milk.

Everybody knows that milk is a
valuable food, that it it is taken hot
it is a wonderful tonic and sedative
as we'll. And SO everybody who can
drink milk at all drinks it, and has
the comfortable self appreciation of q
person who feels that he or she is TAX
ing good care OF himself or herself.
The usual way in which that pleasing
duty is performed is by drinking the
milk as one drinks water to quench
ones thirst-in large swallows. That
is not the way to drink it scientifical-
ly, and to get the good result out Of
it. In order to do that, milk must be
sipped-sipped slowly and not swal-
lowed hastily. The reason for it in
wolves the mysteries OF digestion and
is thus set down by the scientists.
The action OF the gastric juice coagu-
lates the milk. When the entire guam
tity is swallowed hastily a solid
curdled mass is formed in the stomach,
which is harder to digest than lobster
or Welsh rarebits.
On the other hand, when the fluid
is swallowed slowly, it becomes finely
divided and penetrated by the gastric
fluid, digesting therefore. in a much
less time. '"

need it all in. the feverish city; the
memory Of sky and upland, the smell
of the clover, the hum Of the bees, the
taste of the new milk, the breath OF
the kline. the strength which milking
and butter-making have given you,
the knowledge of natures secrets;
which lilac leaves out first, which. oak
is last stripped of its foliage, wheret the
ground-sparrow hides her nest, when
the blackberries are fit to make into
jam!. Bring the simple, healthy habits
OF early rising. of energetic. work, of
outdoor exercise to your city home,
for you will need them now more than
ever before: They will help you in
gaining an understanding of the best
things city life can give you, the
broader experience of men and ideas,
the love of art, the appreciation of
literature. No matter how rich you
NAV become. neyer be Wasteful..

The Moon and the Weather.

.IEH-gE. pr .-a - 80
The influence of the moon over.the
weather has been recognized by a
certain class of people for at least
1000 years-perhaps twice that long.
It's effect upon the tides has long been
an established fact;zand, if itcan exert.
such a power over the huge bodies of
water which go TO make up our seas
and oceans, why not over. the mists'
Of the atmosphere? Exactly what
effect Luna has over the waters and
atmosphere of our world it would be
unsafe to venture an opinion upon;
certain it is however that there are
phases of the moon that may appro-
!priately be termed "wet," and others
which may with equal propriety be
called "dry,"
This opinion has the support Of
Newton, .Herschel, Mitchell and many
other noted SCIENTISTS. The scandi-
navians, the English and the Germans
repose more confidence in moon
lore than any other class OF people.
Occasionally a person may be found
who has a superstitious belief in the
effects OF the moon upon vegetation,
but science has demonstrated that
these results may all be attributed to
the conditions OF the atmospheric

Hints About Whole Wheat and How
to Cook It.

Minis About Whole Wheat and How
to Cook 1t.
The structure of a grain of wheat is
marvellous insymmetry and orderly as
. fine piece of architecture. Protect.
% by six coats, SO as to keep for
three Thousand years, it incloses a
body made up of polished germs and
granules of starch aud gluten inclosed
by connective fbrous tissue in bundles
Or cells built on the principles of spheri-
cal geometry. Each bundle fits It's fell
low perfectly. The gluten cells which
form the sixth coat are beautifully
ranged around, and remind one Of
the lovely Norman arches in England.
Under polarized light the starch be-
comes q thing of beauty and Joy. When
cooked properly starchdoes not polar
lie light. Hence a test of cooking.
When one considers the admir-
able protection coats of wheat,
It seems strange to remove all these
coats and expose the body, unpro-
tected, SO long before use as is
done. We don't do so with
potatoes, tomatoes, onions, etc.
Hence, the idea that whole wheat clean
Cd is a good article OF food. 1t is found
that the flavor is excellent and ap-
petiEing eve when eaten raw, as the
Old Roman soldier did, and got the
full amount Of mineral matter that
our Creator intended should be got,
when wheat was eaten. It saves
money and health. Four parts
Of, cold water to one part OF whole
wheat CLEANED in a smutting-mill)
steamed in an all-double boiler for
ten or more hours gently and continu-
ousl y;' then served with butter, cream
or milk, and seasoned with salt,
makes a dish of vegetable food fit for
kings and queens or the sovereigns in
. republic. In all elecmosynary insti-
tutions, hospitals, asylums, camps,
ships or prisons, it is a concentrated
and cheap diet, building up the nerv.
GUS system, teeth and bones. Even
dogs, who are carnivorous, fed on
wheat, thrive, and fed on flour died in
forty days. The objections to the
hull l have found to be fallacious, af-

be shortened by cracking the whole
wheat in a coffee-mil beforehand.

To the man who labors with his .hande
physical trouble is a very serious thing: II

and upon himself for rheumatism, and had
found it the best remedy he had ever tried.
Again Feb'y II, 1887, he writes: II have

by which he displays his. superiority,
not only to all the world, but to the

Every morning he stalks solemnly

sun appears above the horizon. Then
with his finger he indicates the course
through the sky which he expects tho
sun to take. Then having marked
out the suns course for him. he de-
votes the rest of the day to directing
his tribe. Although the poor Indians
