to the multiplicity of organizations
that have made demands on men and
women during the last decade When
one gentleman had protested against
what he believed to be waste of
thought and strength, he declared there
were two organizations needed that no
one had formed nor suggested; they
were greatly needed. The first and most
necessary was a Society to Encourage
Children to Endure Cantankerous Pa
rents" and the second " Society for
the Encouragemen of Home Even
ings," in which the members pledge
themselves to remain at home five
evenings in the week. Both of these
organizations would receive the finan-
cisl and moral support of hundreds of
bewildered as well as conservative men
and women il some one would only
draw up a working constitution, and
pledge and devise a system which, if
followed, would make each home the
most attractive as well as " the dearest
spot on earth. - Christian Union.

Flour New and Old.

Flour, when new, has (assuming
that the win at was in good condition)
a sweet, nutty flavor; but it is more
difficult to make good yeast bread with
it than when it has had time to lose
nearly all its moisture. 1t is, there
fore, better to get flour that has been
ground few months. Good flour will
have pleasant odor and creamy
tinge; poor flour, grayish look and
an unpleasant smell. Nearly all flour
is now made by the roller process,
which gives more of the gluten and
phosphates than the old process. This
flour is granular TO the touch, and be-
cause it packs more closely, it has about
one-eighth more thickening power,
measure for measure, than that made
by the old process; but weight for
weight, this is not the case. When
using old rules that call for measures of
flour, use one-eighth less than the rule
states. Entire-wheat flour is, fortu-
nately, gaining in popularity among
people who give the right sort of
thought to the food that they supply
for their families. This flour should be
used almost wholly for bread-making
in families where there are children l.,
1t contains more of the nitrogenous
and mineral matters than the white
-four does. Whole-wheat meal and
graham are, or ought to be the same
thing; that is TO say, the wheat ground
to fine meal. 1t often happens til at
poor quality of flour is mixed with
wheat ban aud is sold as good graham.
In making fine flour the germ is re-
moved from the wheat, but in the meals
this is usually not the case; therefore
they will not keep so well as fine flour.
Buy all meals in small quantities, and
keep them, if possible, in tin cans or
stone jars and in cool, dry, we'll
ventilated place. Flour should be kept
under the same conditions.-Maria
ParlOa, in Good Housekeeping.

The Acids of Fruits.

George w. Johnson in his Chemis-
try of the World" says in describing
the vegetable food of the world"
arises from the malic acid and binOX-
alate Of potash which it contains; The
acidity of The lemon, orange, and other
species of the genus citrus, is caused by
the abuL dance of citric acid which their
juice contains that of the cherry, plum,
apple and pear from the malic acid in
their pulp; that of gooseberries and
currants, black, red and white, from a
mixture of male aid tartaric acids; that
of the mango from citric acid and a
very ueitive essential oil, that of the
tamarind from a mixture of citric, malic
and tartarc acids; the flavor of aspara-
gus from aspartic acid, found also in
the root of the marshmellow; and that
of he cucumber from peculiar poison
GUS ingredient called tupgin, which is
found in all fungi, and is the cause of
cucum bers being offensive to some
stomachs. 1t will be observed that
rhubarb is the only fruit which contains
binoxalate of potash in conjunction
with an acid. 1t is this ingre dent
which renders this so wholesome at the
early announcement of the sunni err,
and this is one of the wise provisions
of nature for supplying blood purifier
at time when it is likely to be most
needed. Beet root owes its nutritious
quality to at out nine per cent of sugar
which it contains, and its flavor to a
peculiar substance containg nitrogen
mixed with poetic acid. The carrot
owes its fattening powers also to sugar,
and its flavor to peculiar fatty oil; the
horse radish derives its flavor and bis
tering power from volatile acrid oil.
The Jerusalem artichoke contains four
teen and half per cent of sugar and
three per cent of inulin Ga variety Of
starch), besides gum and a peculiar sub
stance 10 which its flavor is owing; and,
lastly, garlic and the rest of the onion
family derive their peculiar odor from
yellowisb, volatile acrid oil, but they
are nutritious from containing nearly
half their weight of gummy and glutin-
Gus substances not yet clearly defined"

She knows how to set table
And make order out of Babel,
But she doesn't know Furipides from Kant.

But she doesn't ycarn for culture" not whit

Where she keeps all things neatly.

Rams Horn Philosophy.

TEMPER is good thing until you
lose it.
SOMETIMES a smile is the mask that
hides frown.
PUTTING armor on coward will not
make him fight.
THE religion of Christ is the only one
whose corner stone is love.
THE truth we hate the most is the
truth that hits us the hardest.
SOME Of the hearts sweetest songs
have been learned in the dark.
How easy it is for men to find lea
sons for doing as they want to do.
WHEN faith goes to church to pray
for rain, ii always takes an umbrella.
AN extravagant man is always talk
ing to his wife about the necessity of
economy.
Nor one man in twenty can give
sensible reason, if you ask him, why he
keeps a dog.
THERE is something wrong with the
mans head who never learns anything
from mistake.
