Meat or Vegetable Diet in Hot Weather ?

No one answer will give a true re-
ply to this question which is brought
up each year in hot weather. The
reason is found in the difference of the
individuals and the difference in their
occupations. If these two things are
fully taken into consideration, it will
at once be seen that no one decision
Will do for all people. As the wear is,
so must the repair be, and as food is
the source OF materials for bodily re-
pair, then in that food must be found
such substances and in such quantities
as will thoroughly rebuild the ever
changing parts of our bodies The
hard worker of muscles must have
meat if he is to continue his exertions
at the least tax to his digestive appar-
atus At the same time the direct op-
posite of the muscle worker needs
reverse condition of diet if mind and
body are to be kept clear and in con-
tinuous health. Between these two
conditions every variety of individuals
is to be found. 1t would, no doubt, be
better for comfort, health and contin.
uance of life to take things easy dur
ing hot weather, and if this condition
OF affairs existed then a vegetable diet
might be sufficient and best, but, un-
fortunately for them, some persons
have to work just as hard in hot
weather as in cold; consequently the
wear and tear upon them is just as
great land usually greater) as in win
ter, consequently they must repair
their tissues just the same, and they
get the materials to do this with the
least tax upon their digestive appar-
atus if they use a proper amount Of
animal food. 1t is possible to get the
same elements of support from vege-
table substances, but it will be with
greater tax upon the digestion, and
this is not wise in hot weather. Rapid
and radical change in the kind of food
that has usually been taken is not adj
visable. The best course is to change
slowly and gradually, with the seasons,
using each thing as it comes in season.
If this be done it will soon be found
that nature is the best guide to the
changes to be made, and that little OF
no harm will come if things are used
freely in season. Household News.

UnIucky Gems I'm america.

Opals have proved bonanza down
in New Mexico, where two localities
are worked, one near Los Cerrillos
and the other in Grant County. The
former has been worked for many
centuries probably, as hundreds Of
stone hammers are found scattered
about the place. The mining has
been done by means of a shaft sunk
seventy-five feet, at the bottom of
which is a lode running nearly east
and west. Thousands of stones were
obtained during the last two years,
according to Mr.. Kunz, many of them
fine blue color, quite equal to the
best Persian. A single stone has
been sold for about "a, 900. The dis
coveries have proved specially Wlua-
bic at time when the Persian mines
have almost ceased to yield. The
stones from the Grant County mines
are not an ideal turquoise blue, but
are often slightly tinted with green.
A heap Of debris, fifty feet in height,
and quantities of small fragments of
weathered turquoise show that this
ocality, like the other, was extern
sively worked by the aborigines.
The use made of these stones by the
natives is said to be partly religious.
Opal mining has proved profitable at
Whelan, WASH, where this gem was
first found by Yonkers jeweler in o
heap Of rock thrown out during the
excavation for well. These fine
opals vary In size from half pea to
hens egg, the smaller ones being fire..
quently Of very rich colors. The To-
cality where they are found is known
as Gem City now, possibly from the
fact that settlement Of twenty
miners has been formed at the mine.

Sir william outwitted hin.

Mrs. Kipling, Rudyard Kipling's
mother, once hit off a very clever
but extremely garruloun and per-
sistently laxative official by saying
that he was essentially clever man,
but he ought never be allowed to
talk; he should be used as a diction-
ary, and consulted when required.
This man was once guest at a
dinner in company with Sir W. w.
Hunter. The conversation began by
being general, but the Lahore talker
and Sir W. w. soon monopolized it.
A duel or duologue suited neither,
and at last Sir William said down the
fable: Excuse me one moment. Mr..

mark. And Mr.. did so; but the
remark lasted unnil the company rose

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.


Old hens often fail to become good
mothers.
The pullets obtained from crossing
Brahmas with Brown Leghorns are
said to be excellent layers.
After harvest is good time to NOV
the brush from the pastures which are
covered with hazel bushes, etc., too
thickly to produce much grass. They
will sprout up strong again, but stock,
and especially sheep, like the young
shoots and will keep them eaten of
close.
Do not fail to destroy jimson, bur-
dock, cotton and other noxious weeds
which SO often come up in the feed
yard along the fences and even near
the house. Now is the time to do this,
as they will soon ripen their seed,
which will bring great increase an
other year.
Growing crops which are continu-
ally shipped off the farm soon impov-
erish the soil. Swimming land has

Her DimcuItv.

An exchange relates that an old
lady travelling on the London under
ground road and finding that the
train was approaching station, said
to a man who sat at the farther end
of the compartment and was her only
fellow passenger:
would you kindly tell me, sir,
what is the next station?"
"Bayswater, madam" was the
courteous reply.
Then would you mind, sir, when
We arrive, opening the door and help
Ing me to get out?"
With pleasure" was the cordial
assent
"You see," the old lady went on to
explain, Il am well on in years, and

getting out he shouts, Look alive,

A Matter Of Health.

housekeepers family realize tn,
danger of an indiscriminate use of tn.
numerous baking powders nowadav,
found upon every hand, and which are
urged upon consumers with such per.

on account of the big profits made in

because they make very low-cost pow
der, nor to urge the use of their pow
derss 30 made, by all kinds of allurlng ad.
yertisements and false representations.
All the low priced or so-called cheap
baking powders, and all powders sold
with gift or prize, belong to this
class.
Baking powders made from chem
ically pure cream of tartar and bi-car-
Donate of soda are among the most
useful of modern culinary devices.
They not only make the preparation
OF finer and more delicious cookery
possible, but they have added to the
digestibility and wholesomeness of
our food. But baking powders must
be composed of such pure and whole
some ingredients or they must be ta-
booed entirely.
Dr. Edison, Commissioners of Health
OF New York, in an article in TIA
Doctor of Hygiene" indicates thai
the advantages of good baking pow
der and the exemption from the dan
gers OF bad ones in which the harsh
and caustic chemicals are used, are to
be secured by the use of Royal Baking
Powder exclusively, and he recon-
mends this to all consumers. eThe

refined to chemical purity, which
when combined under the influence of
heat and moisture produce pure car
bonic, or leavening, gas. The two
materials used, cream of tartar and
soda, are perfectly harmless even when
eaten, but in this preparation they are
combined in exact compromising
weights, SO that when chemical action
begins between them in the dough they
practically disappear, the substance of
both having been taken to form car
bonic-acid gas" Hence it is, he says,
that the Royal Baking Powder is the
most perfect of all conceivable agents
for leavenlng purposes.
1t seems almost Incredible that any
manufacturer or dealer should urge the
sale of baking powders containing in
furious chemicals in place of those Of
well-known, pure and wholesome
character simply for the sake of few
cents pound greater profit; but since
they do, few words of warming seem
to be necessary

TRYING YOUNG COLTS.

The young colt while yet sucking
can be taught much which will be
valuable to it when old enough tc
work. Break it to lead when quite
young; fit halter to its head and tie
up in the stall with the mother fo1
half an hour. When accustomed to The
halter, tie beside the mother when she
is to be driven some distance; the colt
will usually go along quietly at once.
If it is little restless at first, mod.
crate amount of patience will enable
you to teach it to lead quietly. Repeat
this operation every day or even every
week and the colt will soon lead as
well as an old horse When eighteen
months old it can be harnessed and al
lowed to stand in the stable with the
harness on until accustomed to it. On
account of previous treatment this
will cause no fright, and it can be
hitched to light wagon beside we'll
broken animal, and in nine cases out
of ten will walk off without causing any
trouble.

liable, trustworthy horse is developed.
The ordinary practice of allowing colts
to run without haltering or tanning of
any kind until they are three years
old, is too common and is the cause of
SO many vicious, balky, runaway
animals. 1t also pays to get them ac-
customed to being placed in unusual
positions, such as witha line under the
tail, a leg over the tug, singletrees hit
ting their heels, ETC., so when harness
breaks or the team becomes entangled
they will not be unnecessarily
frightened. Also gradually open UNI
brellas near them or throw blankets
over their backs, anything to prevent
OF at least to lessen fright in an
emergency. This will take some little
trouble, but it is amply repaid in that
the horse when old enough to work is
thoroughly reliable. 1t also develops
the muscles more completely and
makes better horse in every way.

Four Unsuccessful Attempts at Arson
 Last Evening.
 NEW BRITAIN. Dec 20.-The people of this city are greatly aroused over the indi- cations which appeared last evening that n tirebuG was beginning operations. Four incendiary fires took place within a short time.
 At : Q clock smoke was discovered coming out of Thompson's block on Main street. The department responded promptly and soon had the fire out. It started in n pile of shavings, etc, in the hall on the second floor of the block next to Lewis's photo graph studio, but it was so quickly sub dued that very little damage was done.
 A little later man passing the Baptist church saw smoke coming out of window. A meeting was in progress in the lower part of the church and the inmates did not know that n fire was burning above them. The fire was in the audience room of the church and was put out before it had got well started and upon investigation it was found that the blaze had started in n purposely arranged heap of papers, books, etc, under seat.
 The incendiary also tried to burn Rog- CTS block on Main street by setting fire to barrel of papers. This was extinSuish- ed before much damage was done.
 Anotber blaze was discovered in the old Herald" building. This also was soon put out. It is particularly fortunate that the fires were all discovered so early. The fire fends chose an unpropi- tious time for operations.

\ Severe Penalty Inflicted sOn Michael
 Bowe For Assault.
 In the police court this morning Michael Bowe was charged with assault on. Herman Israel on the night of September To- Bowe and Israel had some words in Costello's barber shopI on Washington street and when Israel was going home about 12:3O in the morning he was met by Bowe near Dover street, on South Main street and as saulted.

An appeal was taken.
 William Clark was arrested by Officer William Brickel about 12:3O last night. The officer saw Clark coming out of Jetfer- son street with something underneath his coat and on examination 1t proved to be a bundle of clothing taken from a line in the yard of Mrs Marcus 25O South Main steeet Clark told the court that the clothes were his own and that he was leaving home and going to live with a friend in the West End He had been drinking during the evening, His story did not carry conviction to the mind of Judge Root and he was fined S7 and costs for theft and given thirty days ia jail for drunkenness.
 Charles Fray, brakeman on the New England road. was charged with stealing $10 from the pocket of John Cahill. a drum mer, in Regan's saloon on Bank street about , o'clock yesterday evening. He was found guilty and made to pay S7 and costs and given fifteen days in jail.

 I desire to register a complaint against the manner in which the SIG, 900 appropri- ated at the recent town meeting is being expended. It was understood when the matter was being discussed that only citi- zens of Waterbury would be employed and that the preference would be given to men having families dependent upon them for support.
 Now, Mir Editor, this rule has not been followed. The best qualification an appli- cant for work upon the Naugatuck high way can have is the endorsement of poli- tician who stands in good favor with the selectmen.

Single men and even men who are not citizens of Waterbury, who have some one of influence to speak for them, find no trouble in getting hearing and a place on the road.
 also know it to be fact that some of the men employed on the job have been paid in orders on saloonkeepers.
