DEAR FOOD NOT THE BEST.
High-Priced Market Products Are Usually
Not the Most Nutritious.

High-Priced Market Products Are Usually
Not the Most Nutritious.
Prof. W. o. Atwater, writing in the
September Forum, claims that the
maxim ''the best is the cheapest" does
not apply to food. The best food in
the sense of that which is sold at the
highest price is rarely the most eco
nomical for people of health. The
food that is best fitted to the real wants
of the user may be the very kind which
supplies the most nutriment at the
lowest cost. Round steak at Is cents
pound contains as much protein and
energy, is just as digestible and is
fully as nutritive. as tenderloin at so.
Mackerel has as high nutritive value
as salmon and costs from an eighth to
half as much. Oysters are a delicacv.
If one can afford them there is no rea-
son for not having them, but % cents
invested in pint would bring only
twenty-nlne grams, about an ounce, of
protein and 260 calories of energy. The
same 25 cents spent for -four at S5 a
barrel, or cents pound. would paw
for 420 grams of protein and Is, 700 cal
ories OF energy. When day laborer
buys bread at 7iE cents a pound, the
actually nutritive material costs him
three times as much as it does his en-
ployer who buys it in -four at SIS bar

ELECTIONS IN FRANCE.
Manhood Suffrage IL Universal PrecAu.
tions Against Fraud.


In France all men when they have
attained their majority are registered
voters. Every ono qualified is Inscribed
on poll list and is armed with an
electoral card-giving his name, pro-
fession and residence-.hich is issued
by the mayor of his commune. This
card is his passport of citizenship aud
also serves for purposes of identity.
Each card is numbered and corresponds
with the number on the register. The
polling takes place in u townhall.
sshoolroom or other pablo building.
No candidate is elected at the first bal
lot who does not receive at least
quarter of the votes on the register Of
voters, or one-half of the ballots actu-
ally cast. Failing either OF these re-
snlts second ballot takes place fort
night later. when simple majority of
votes is sufficient for election.
There is not the same strict control
over expenditure on elections in France
a. in England. The cost OF an election
varies considerably. There is a great
deal spent in holding public NEE tings,
but q spirited rivalry arises sometimes
over placariing. The candidates are
not saddled with official expenses. The
amount spent depends entirely on the
strength of the opposition. Usually,
when The fight is keen, the expenses
OF each candidate will run between ten
thousand and thirty thousand francs
At the famous contest between Eou-
LANCER and Jacques In 1889 over a mill
lion francs were spent
The French system Of polling tends
to insure purity OF voting. When "A
voter enters the polling station bc
gives up his electoral card The num-
Der on it is compared with the num-
Der in the register When the identity
of the voter is established his card is ac-
cepted and be is allowed TO vote. Before
ths card is returned 10 him an Official

tremely difficult. Election ofYSnses,

HONOLULU HAPPENINGS.

HONOLULU, Sept. 2L-The United States
cruiser Philadelphia has arrived and Ad-
miral Skerrett has transferred his flag to
her from the Boston. The latter will sail
for San Francisco about the 9th. her
bottom Is perfectly sound. During the
latter's stay in this port the warmest feel
ings of friendship have been entertained
between the Beston's officers and the crew
and the citizens. despite the royalists'
official organ to the contrary.
The royalists are greatly elated at the
Washington news, from which it is con-
strued to mean that All election in Hawaii
will be held TO determine the form OF gov
srnment desired by the people, and are
confident the native vote will restore the
queen The government party derided the
news as inspired by party motives. Ii Is
held here that the United States can take
no action in election matters without
treaty stipulations. 1t is still hoped that
President Cleveland will recommend an-
nexation rather tnau a protectorate. The
royalists report that number OF war shlps
are on their way here to lnfOrce quiet
during the election above Quepos. The
royalists paper HolOman has been sold by
the sheriff. and has been replaced by an
evening paper of the same political com
pleXlon.
The public here were pleased with the
appointment of Minister Willis, but the
criticise the appointment
OF Ellis Mills as consul general, and the
provisional government has been consider
ing the advisability of requesting the
United States TO recall Mills appointment.
He Is objected to on account OF prefer
ence for the royal cause he displayed while
here AS Mr. Bloupt's secretary The all
say that if Mills be sent here
he will be uercl leSSly SuuDOeu.

OPPOSITION TO PRESTON.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-The nomination
of Robert Z. Preston to be director of the
mint has caused some talk among politi-
clans in this city. While the silver men
are disposed to grumble at this promotion
of Mr.. Preston, whose failure to purchase
silver while acting director to the
amount demanded by the Sherman
law provoked their remonstrances,
they are not prepared to say that
his confirmation will be opposed. Still
they hint darkly at opposition. The salary
of Mr.. Preston's office is s.. 500, the term
is for five years, and the position shares
with other offices only that of the comp
troller of the currency, this peculiar dis
tinction, that the occupant, when once
confirmed. cannot be removed without the
consent of the senate. Since 1856 Mr.
Preston has been connected with the treas
ury, rising from a clerhship to his present
position. His appointment should please
the civil service reform contingent.

LEASES AND REPAIRS,
Peculiar Rules Laid Down for tho Tenants
OF the As.ors.


Some of the rules by which the ten
ants of the Astors are bound are curl
ous- For instance, SAYS the New York
Sun, although they will make almost
any repairs that tenant suggests be-
fore the lease is signed, even though
the repairs may cost more than the
rental, they will not spend a cent on
the property during the existence of
the lease. A lady who rented house
iu Forty fifth street from the Astors
was told that she could have any re-
pairs or alterations she wished, but no
chandeliers. She had the house deco
rated from top to bottom, and many
expensive repairs mede, and there was
not remonstranee, but she had to
supply all the chandeliers, at a cost of
sixteen hundred dollars. herself. OF
course, they remain her property, ard
she can take them away when she
moves.
A curious incident Is related by an
other tenant in Forty-fourth street.
She leased a house at rental of two
thousand dollars for one year. When
she came to renew the lease for an
other year She was informed that the
rent would be only eighteen hundred
dollars. She was told by somebody
who pretended to know that the reduc-
tioD was due to a deteriora tion in the
value Of the property, and that the
Astors did not want more than GER
tain interest on it. That, however,
was not true, as was learned upon in
quiry at the Office of the Astor estates
The clerks there said that the reduc-
ton was due simply to the fact that
during the first year they had charged
a percentage for repairs and changes
As none was required the second year
the percentage was taken of. Never
it remains the fact that the re-
duction was voluntary, and TO the ten
ant unexpected.

GROWTH or FINGER NAILS.
Eesul:s Of Some Curious Observations
Made BY . Prominent a1aBic1re.

6esulsS of some Curious Observations
Made by Prominent Manicure.
prominent manicure who has de-
voted many years 10 the study of the
subject states as the result OF his OBJ
sersations that the finger nails of the
human species grow more rapidly in
children than in adults. and that the
growth is slowest with the aged.
His observations. however, do not
stop at this, for he finds that both in
childhood ard age they grow faster in
summer than IN winter. In one in
stancAa nail that required one hun
dred and thirty-two days to renew in
winter renewed IN summer in exactly
one hundred and sixteen days During
both seasons the patient upon whom
this experiment was made enjoyed
normal health.
The method of testing the growth
was in each instance the same. The
nail was pared close and slightly
notched at the quick. Both the right
and the left hand were studied. with
the result that he aiIirms that tho
growth of finger nails is more rapid on
the right hand than on the left AS
the person was right-handed il IS pre-
sumed that the contrary is true of left
handed individuals
One popularity of the growth of fin
ger nails in addition to those stated is
that the period OF renewal differs pro-
portionately with the length of the
fingers. Thus it is more rapid in the
middle fingers than any others. In the
fingers on either side the middle finger
the period of renewal is about equal
and slower. 1t is even more slow in
the little finger, and slowest Of all in
the thumb.
Comparing the same fingers of the
different hands, the person who dis
covered these curious phases of growth
states that on an average the nails on
the left fingers of a right-handed per-
son require eighty-two days longer to
renew than those of the left hand. In
one particular the growth of the nails
and hair and beard are governed by
the same law, that of growing more
rapidly in summer than in winter.
