PERNIcIo IS USES OF SODA.

Cookery.
To one who has the interests of the
health of the public at heart, IL is alarm
ing to note how frequently in the cook
cry recipes given in domestic and rural
papers, soda is recommended. | do not
now refer TO the use of soda in making
breads and pastry, which is indeed
40 general, but rather to its
recommendation and useo to hasten
the cooking of certain articles of food
and to neutralize the aoidity of certain
Others For example, in late contem-
pory magazine, the experience of a
correspondence is commended because
in the first place She discovered one day
when her sugar box was low, that cram
berries were made palatable with much
less sugar than usual by the addition of
a small quantity of soda.
As the result of her experience, she
recommends the addition of soda in
cooking gooseberries, prunelles dried
plums, cherries etc, on the score of
economy in the use of sugar, say
ing that the addition of about
Il half teaspoonfu to a quart
of fruit will lessen the required
amount of sugar one third.
She also commends soda in cooking
both fresh and dried beans as saving
of fuel, and for the same reason, "a
pinch of soda is added in cooking
tough meat or an old head of cabbage
But the crowning economy (?) is her
success in using it on sparerib which
has been kept until nearly spoiled.
The meat was cut up, washed in cold
water and then dropped into boiling
soda water and after ten minutes of
dosing, was removed and cooked or
dinarily when no traces of taint were
discoverable.
Soda, too, is an often-recommcnded
and frequently-used domestic remedy
for sour stomach, heart burn, etc, and
usually the doses taken are not small.
While soda will give temporary relief
in such cases, its use is harmful, be-
cause it neutralizes the acid of the gas
trio Juice as well as other acids which
may be present, and so retards di-
gestion. The pepsin of the gastric-j juice
is only active when in an acid medium.
When it is well understood that dys-
pepsia and attendant ills are the offset
for these so-called economies in fuel
or other expenditures, the good
sense of our American housekeep-
ers will doubtless assert itself and
the pinch of soda" will be looked upon
with just adherence rather than as a
friendly aid to cookery. The saving OF
few dimes can in no wise compensate
for an incalculable injury to the
digestive organs. Soda and its con-
comitants have no rightful place in
hygienic cookery. A pinch of soda
may be legitimately employed to soften
hard water for washing dishes and for
bathing purposes, or to dress burns and
insect bites, but as you value good
digestion and good health let it be for.

SCHOOLS FOR. GIRLS.
The Wonderful Influence for Good OF
EVIL They Exert


As to bad schools-schools that in
stretching after the mint and anise and
cumin lose all that might have given
successfully are many. II seems some
times that there is no profession in
which there is so much humbug as in
that of education; and the utter inabil'
ity of the parent to determine what
kind of school it is into which he de-
cides to put his little girl has, to those
who stand behind the scenes, very much
of the pitiful When, however, we
think of one or two other professions
we doubt, and are silent One is re-
minded of the nurse-maid who never
stood in need of thermometer for the
baby's bath, because if the baby came
out red, she knew il had been too hot
and if it came out blue, she knew 1t hao
been too cold. Too many a father finds
when it is too late, that he made mis-
take in the school to which he trusted
the training of his little girl. But how
could he have known before? There
was much shrewdness in the employer
who, quite unmindful of the applicants
having afterwards been graduated from
Yale, engaged him at once as soon as
he knew that he had been expelled from
a certain university. Fora girl to have
been at some schools for any length OF
time is a certificate of frivolity, lack OF
consistent purpose and thoroughness,
and, what is of far more consequence
of any real reverence for the truth or
her own womanhood. Anna c. Brack

Study of a Soap Bubble.

The iridescences of the common soap
bubble, subjected to scientific analysis,
have emerged in the conclusion that
stellar space is plenum filled with ma
terial substance capable of transmit
ting motion with a rapidity which
would girdle the equatorial earth eight
times in a second, while the tremors Of
this substance, in one form, constitute
wnat we call light, and in all forms
constitute what we call radiant heat.
Not seeing this connection between
great and small, not discerning that as
regards the illustration of physical
principles there is no great and no small,
the wits, considering the small con-
temptible, permit sarcasm 10 aow -

forced to leave without delay, his heart
full of sadness at the indefinite post
ponement of the realization of his de-
sires.
In Tonkin he behaved gallantly,
like the brave fellow he is, and was pro-
NOTED for heroic conduct during the
Hetreat of Langson. This satisfaction
was certainly due him, as was the
cross which soon followed it, for on the
same day Latriville received in the
head one of the last of the Chinese
missiles; he was picked up in a
dreadful condition, lay for months be-
tween life and death, finally remaining
blind, without any hope of ever recov
ering his sight. While the surgeons
were fighting for his life out yonder,
his fiancee was taken i'll with typhoid
fever, and died almost suddenly, going
to her last sleep in the family tomb of
the d'Espars in her windingsheet Of
virginia. white.
''They dare not tell Latriville of her
death, he would not have survived the
shock; so by each mail went a letter to
be read at his bedside by a gentle sis
ter of mercy, which spoke of the dear
fiance who was waiting for the poor in
valid and loved him still In point of
fact, it was not all falsehood, for the
admirable woman you saw just now,
who was then Louise d'Espars, had
taken his sisters place, had offered to
be, without the knowledge of the
wounded man, the comforter that
Jeanne could no longer be.
Eyes, it is now two years since Latri-
Wills return and marriage; as yet no
one has betrayed the subterfuge; he be-
lieves that he has the one whom he
had chosen, the thought of whom gave
him strength in his sufferings. For
him it is Louise who is dead, Jeanne
who lives. So the sharp sorrow
that awaited him was conjured away;
his wife is full of the deepest, almost
maternal tenderness for him; he
adores her, and is happy. Now is the
situation so dreadful?"

MADAME ADAM,
The Journalist and Hostess Who Is so Well

The Journalist and Hostess who Is so Well
Known in the French Capital.
Mime. Adam is well known as a
journalist and authoress whose life is
devoted to the recognition of obscure
but genuine talent and whose salons
are famous for their assemblages of
brilliant men and women Personally
Nine. Adam is a charming woman,
sweet, cordial and genial, intensely in
terested in the great questions of the
day, and like all women who have sue
ceeded in establishing a rendezvous
for choice spirits she has a happy fac
ulty of calling forth the best and
brightest thoughts of even the most
constrained and silent guest AS an
editress of the Nouvelle Revue she has
had and improved every opportunity to
encourage struggling genius, and is now
rejoicing over the recent election of
Pierre Lott to the academy. Lofts
triumph IS largely due to her energy
and protection, and she takes mater
nal interest in his welfare. Nine.
Adam will be better known to us in her
official capacity through the Light of
Paris, new English paper which is to
be published in Paris by an American
lady, assisted by the famous editress OF
the Nouvelle Revue.-N. Y. Sun. =.
Follow Her Example.
There is at least one young woman in
the country who has the courage Of
her convictions. She is pretty, fashion
able, IS. Lately she invited young
man to go to the opera with her chap
erone and herself He, in replying,
mentioned that he would have the car
riage at her house at a certain hour,
whereupon she wrote to him immediate
ly, begging that he would omit the car
riage; she and her chaperone were to
wear street costumes, and the cars were
quite good enough and much more rap
id, putting the matter in such way
that made it was impossible for him to
insist.
Many other young women would like
to be thus wisely kind if they knew
how or dared. They fear to offend the
sensitive pride of the young man foi
whom they would be glad to make
things easy. The expense of the car
riage trip they understand as well as
anybody is disproportionate to the sal

lack, however, the courage to preven
it.-Detroit Free Press
