NUTRITION AND CONSUMPTION. Cor
sumption is the process of pulling down
tissue, and the great ncedful to check
and counteract it in its work is to hAve
perfect nutrition so that tissue building
will 90 on as fast as the destruction.
Tissue building is the foundation treat
ment ol tuberculosis in all its stages. 1t
must be understood, however, that feed

may not be assimiated and hence tissue

Stunning" IN THE CHA1R.-Grown
people and children alike are inclined to
fall into a very bad habit of sliding
down into a chair and sitting for hours
with the spine bent almost in half cir
Gle. That this is injurious thousands Of
people who indulge in it never so much
as dream, but medical authority asserts
that those who have investigated the
subject are we'll aware that it is the
cause of many serious ills The con-
tnual strain upon one side of the spinal
column, with the corresponding com
pressions on the other, gives rise to ner-
vous difficulties and affections of the
brain. Dizziness, nausea and blind
spells are not infrequently the result OF
this practice. While the strictly up
right position is undoubtedly the most
healthfu, it seems rather hard work to
persuade the young and indolent to
maintain it. Lazy people and those who
love luxury have habit Of stamping"
so to speak, into their chairs and re-
naming in q semi-recumbeat position,
with the spine as nearly telescoped as
may be. That portion Of the human
anatomy generally known as the back
bone was intended to be worn in an up
right position, and the constant pres
sure of the sections Of the vertebrR
upon each other is productive Of various
ills.

LACE CAPES FOR SUMNER WEAR.

Lace capes fashioned very much like
the winter models, with velvet or jetted
yokes and collars, have made their ap-
pearance, like many other of the seasons
fashions, long before they are required.
These capes are very handsome, indeed,
especially those which are only garni-
tured with expensive cut jet ornaments
and trlnges. Some costly French capes
have Jokes and collars of gold and Jet
net, dotted with cabochons, and few
models are lined throughout with rows
of jetted galloon in stripes falling over
the cape from the yoke. The cape is
thus stiffened to such an extent that it
falls in lines that are altogether different
from the soft, natural folds in which

HOW no MAKE A M1LLrNER's BOW.

/
In an article on home millinery a Lon
don journal endeavors to impart to the
amatt cur in cold print the feeting, in
tangible essence of a successful "bow,n
as follows:
when making a bow, never skimp
your ribbon. Three yards should be
allowed If you wish to trim a fair-sized
hat Never cut the ribbon until the bow
Is finished. To make a nice full bow of
SIX or eight loops, take the end of the
ribbon in your right hand the wrong
side uppermost, holding it toward you.
Then plat it, keeping the plaits as
straight as possible. Change the ribbon
into the left hand while-with the right
You join the plaits by winding them
tightly round with thick (No. 16) cotton.
Change it back to the right hand and
make loop, as long or short as you de
sire, by bringing the ribbon over to where
the first plaits are fixed. Plat this loop.
and join again. Turn the loop and hold
1t toward you, make another loop, and
proceed in this manner until your bow
is as large as you require. 70 keep
velvet, etc. the right side outward, |
before plating give it half twist Pass
the remaining end round the centre of
the bow, being careful to hide the cotton
and then slip it through, drawing it
tight. If using one of the popular
buckles, pass the end through the
buckle, and, in either case, cut it sharply
off, or secure it at the back.
In making velvet bows, be careful
not to crush the velvet when passing it
through the buckle or in knotting it.
The tighter your ribbon is tied the better
your bow will stanl up The length of
the loops can be varied according to
fancy requirements, sometimes cutting
some of the loops to make sharp ends,

EUROPE oUTsTRIPPED.
The United States Now the Leading
Manufacturing Country.

Z R. II. Edmonds. in the Engineering
Magazine, says:
The United States is now the leading
manufacturing country in the world. We
have far outstripped all other nations in
the magnitude of our industrial opera
tons. It. is almost incomprehensible
that in ten years the increase in capital
invested in manufactures should exceed
the total invested only twenty years ago.
The value of our manufactured products
increased about 90 per cent. add 60 per
cent. to the output of 1890 and we would
have $13, zoe, 900, 900 in 1900-but that
is to much toexpect. The same ratio
Of growth in mining interests in this de-
cade as in the last would make our
mineral output in 1900 nearly 81, 200,-
100000, while a smaller percentage of
gain only equaling in volume the
total increase in 1890 over 1880 would
bring the figures to over S)j0,000,-
600. If our coal miners add to
the output of 1890 as many tons as they
added to that of 1880, ignoring in this
the percentage of growth, 217 600, 900
tons will be the production of 1890 Nc
other country in the world ever advanced
in population and wealth as the United
States is doing. The progress of the
past shows no signs of hating In fact,
the development of our foreign and do
nestle trade and commerce, and of our
industrial interests is steadily broadening
out.
Contrast our position and condition
with Europe, with resources surprising
those of all Europe, with wealth pro.
ducing possibilities in soil, minerals,
timber and climate unequalled by Eu.
rope. and practically without limit to
their profitable utilization, with homo.
geneous population of $4,000, 600 peo.
pie invoked by the arbitrary regulations
of half dozen different governments.
and free from the drain of standing
armies, the United States Justly com.
mands the wonder and admiration of the
world.
Great Britain is no longer thu manu-

nave taken the foremost position in that
line. Its vast iron and steel business is.

with debt, and none of them can ever
hope to pay off its obligations. Meas
u.ed by their natural resources and
advantages for continued growth against
their debts and the many disadvantages
under which they labor, they arc practi-
cally bankrupt. In all of them the cost
of production and living must steadily
increase. In the United States we have
scarcely laid the foundation for our
future greatness. In natural resources
we are richer than all of Europe; we are
paying off our debts faster than they are
lue. we have barely scratched the ground
N the development of our mineral
wealth, and our agricultural growth can
scarcely be limited
