OUTSIDE THE CITIES.

Some persons are simple enough tc
believe that corruption In public office
Is growth OF the cities. Metropolitan
expenses are so heavy and metropoli.
tan temptations are so great that men
are led into dishonest practices IRE.
sistibly, as It were. Public stealing Is
lightly OF 1t. Look at the police and
nearly all the departments in New
York Is there not stealing In all OF
them?
These are the opinions such persons
express while they sigh for the plain
honesty Of the quiet rural districts.
Their views will not be shared In the
Comptroller's office at Albany. The
perfection OF Arcadian simplicity might
be supposed to be found In the Adiron.
dack forests, Yet 1t is alleged that stu
pendous frauds on the State have been
perpetrated there with the connivance
OF the State officials intrusted with
the protection of the forests.
1t Is charged that large quantities OF
timber have been cut and stolen with
the knowledge Of the State officers: that
land has been fraudulently sold. and
after It has been denuded OF valuable
timber a defect has been found in the
sale; that valuable tracts have been
lost to the State by collision or false
pretenses.
The stealings are said to reach a very
large sum, and proceedings have been
begun against the alleged offenders
That Is right. These forest freehooters
offlcial and unofficial ought TO he

Foods and Lofty Thoughts.

A distinguished member of the New
York vegetarians says: mo woman Ia too
poor to afford the foods that will aid IN
developing mental, physical and moral
beauty. I deny that the so-called lain
living is conducive to high thinkins
What is plain living as generally under
stood? Steak. potatoes and white bread.
Such diet is conducive to early death
and productive of stomach and nervous
troubles. If people think high on this
unhygienic diet it is in spite of 1t and
not because of 1t. High thought oper-
ates through loftier things than the
carcasses of butchered animals, starch.
roots and stimulating drinks. These
things lack not only vitality and vege-
table fragrance necessary to lofty
thought, aspiration and action, but chem
ical matter needed by nature. It is an
old truism that after dinner any favor
can be had for the asking, man is such
a fool when he is full of meat and
drink. Fruits travel the thirty-three
feet of the digestive canal in eighty-five
minutes; it takes animal food from
three to five hours"

Soldier Boys had Behavior.

To the Editor:
would like you to publish a few words about
the exceeding inhosptality and roughness OF some
Of the soldiers at Fort Wadsworth. s. l. Some OF
them are only boys In appearance. and apparently
OF the worst kind. only At to receive Government
pay. I was a spectator OF a ball game on their
grounds on Labor Day. and was surprised at the
roughness and bad language used by some of the
players, especially their pitcher whose name do
vocabulary and full OF fight, insulting nearly all
the other players. The visitors some club
from Staten Island and were very gentlemanly
and also won the game. as they deserved 1t is
only right to say that 1t was the second nine OF
the soldiers that played. Is 1t usual for visitors
TO be treated that way by the defenders of their
country BALL PLAYER.

Table Plants.

Flower booths are surrounded by
dainty little pots Of brilliant china
asters. The plants are go beautifully
Enthusiastically forced into blooms
that a single stem scarcely twelve inches
tall frequently bears a top-knot of ten
or eleven pink or blue flowers. They
retail at Is cents or less and keep their
beauty and strength several weeks.
These Japanesey plants are recon-
mended by leading florists for window
ledge. hall tree, centre and dining table
decoration. The pots are set in jardi-
nieres or draped with a napkin, silk
handkerchief or tissue paper.

Curative Cold Bath.

People who have nervous prostration,
headaches. the blues or dyspepsia, who
take cold easily, who are subject to irrl-
liability, who lead sedentary lives, who
need their wits about them all the time,
and who are not making the progress
they desire, should get addicted to the
cold bath habit. 1t is not only cleansing,
but curative, stimulating, encouraging
and invigorating. 1t is MISUNDERSTANDING,
nerve-soothing, notwithstanding and the
best treatment ever taken for the COM
plexion, digestion and disposition.

Cocoa Icing.

Cocoa Is now much used in the place
OF che colate for icing cake. The icing is
n ade by beating the whites OF two eggs
and mixing with them nearly a cupful of
powdered sugar. Add two teaspoonfuls
of cocoa. An icing that many prefer is
made without any eggs. Boil four ia
blespoonfuls of graduated sugar with
the same quantity of water for a min
ute, then add teaspoonful OF vanilla
and two teaspoonfuls of cocoa, boil a
minute longer and the icing will be
ready to use.

breakfast Appetizer.

A ripe. sweet. juicy apple is pleasing.
nutritious, medicinal and, being aro-
matte and vitalizing, is supposed to aid
in developing physical, mental and spir-
itual beauty. The teachers of expression
in art think so; the vocal teachers say
1t will clear the voice; a vegetarian says
1t will excite muscular action along tho
alimentary canal, and the housekeeper
ought to know that 1t will save the
bread and butter. Broiled sour apples
served wit hpowdered sugar and CHINA
mon and bits OF hard butter before the
coffee is a very fascinating breakfast
dish.

Mother. Never Take Thi. Advice.

To the Editor:
In reply to a poor mothers letter I wish to
say that she has my sympathy and advice. II she
takes It, and that Is to rid herself at once OF a
son who prefers the life Of bum in a liquor
store drinking beer and eating free lunches. to
some lucrative employment that would help his
mother to pay the rent and make ends meet.
It's evident from this Poor Mothers letter that
h.r son is on the road to ruin and that she is
powerless to save him. and tho more she en-
courages him in idleness the sooner he is likely
to get there. A sYMPATHIZER.

The foundation of a beautiful COM
plexion is strong stomach. The

Soup is the best tonic for a weak organ.
Its object is stimulation, inauguration,
consolation. This food, taken as an
introduction for breakfast, lunch and
dinner, will very soon tone up weak
muscles. Nothing should be eaten with
this vegetable cocktail, not even cracker
crumbs. About the worst beginning for
a meal Is fresh bread. Throw a hand
full of crackers or couple OF slices Of
homemade bread into the best plumbed
sink or tub, turn on the hot or cold
