The Country is Safe.

There are timid souls, some of
them in the newspaper Offices of
the country, who think that the
sky is about to fall every time
there is a clap of thunder, and
that civilization is about to fail
every time gang OF hoodlums
has to be dubbed into decency.
The World wishes to reassure
all such. The country is safe.
Civilization is not a failure. The
Caucasian is not played out, and
now and always his way lies for
ward.
In America the hope of orderly
government does not rest in bayo-
nets, but in the sense of order in
herent and instinctiye in the peo-
pie. 1t is safe to trust the people
with freedom, because when SO
trusted the human animal is gov
erned to an always increasing de-
gree by his natural sense of order.
1t is no more possible to make any
community of human animals dis
orderly and to keep them so than
it is to stop the revolution of the
earth. In human society, as in q
beehive or IN ant-hill, order is the
highest law, governing by and
through and over all other law.
Freedom and order are inter-de-
pendent-the one increasing with
the other. Nothing is more GER
| tain than that both will continue
to increase in America. Those
who would check them will be
crushed by them.
The sense of order in the people
is the sure guarantee of the safety
of society and Of free institutions
Only those whose conscience makes
them towards have any disposition
to deny their capacity of self-gov-
eminent. N. Y. World.

The subject of sugar as food pro-
ducing muscular power has been dis
cussed by DR.. Vaughan Harley. Dur
ing a twenty four hours fast, on one
day, water alone was drunk; on an
other, 500 grammes Of sugar, were
taken in an equal quantity of water.
1t was found that the sugar not only
prolonged the time before fatigue oc-
Cured, but caused an increase of 81
to rs per cent in the muscular work
done. In the next place, the effect of
sugar added to the meals was investi
gated. The muscle energy producing
effect of sugar was found to be SO
great that 200 grammes added to
small meal increased the total amount
of work done from to 80 per cent.
Sugar (250 grammes-about eight oun-
ces)was now added to a large mixed
meal, when it was found not only to
increase the amount of work done
from s to Is per cent, but increased
the resistance against fatigue. AS a
concluding experiment, $50 grammes
Of sugar were added to the meals of
full diet day, causing the work done
during the period of eight hours to be
% to SO per cent.-Scientitfc

How TO PEEL TOMATOES

How TO PEEL TOMATOEs.-N Nearly
all cook books say: 'Pour boiling
water over ripe tomatoes, then
skin them," and at least ninety in ev-
cry hundred persons attempt to skin
them in this way, and, consequently,
do it very imperfectly. This is the
proper way to peel tomatoes: Cover
them with boiling water half minute,
then lay them in cold water until per-
fectly cold, and the skin can be peeled
off without difficulty, leaving the to-
matoes unbroken and as firm as thew
were before being scalded.

OVERWOKED WOMEN.

s'Custom demands too much from
the women of to day, "said the speak
err. 81 believe that the first duty of a
woman is to understand herself-her
physical self. Once she takes the trOu-
BILE to learn the use Of the organs Civ

enough to allow them to grow I'M

should be more independent and

Because your neighbor entertains and

why you should do the same. There
may be many reasons why it is better
for you not to do SO. The point [
wish to make here is that it is foolish
for a woman to tire herself out ply

it worth it; yet see how many women
wear themselves to death rather than
fall short of some little duty which
they feel they owe to society! By do

whereby she if forever burden to her

THE VIRTUES OF SALT.-A little salt
rubbed on the cups will take off tea
stains. Put into whitewash it will
make it stick better. AS tooth pow
der it will keep the teeth white and
the gums hard and rosy. It is one Of
the best gargles for sore throat and
preventive of diphtheria if taken in
time. Use salt and water to clean will
low furniture; apply with brush and
rub dry. Salt and water held in the
mouth after having a tooth pulled will
stop the bleeding. Prints rinsed with
it in the water will hold their color
and look brighter. Two teaspoonfuls
In half pint of tepid water is an
emetic always on hand, and it is an
antidote for poisoning from nitrate of
silver. Neuralgia Of the feet and limbs
can be cured by bathing night and
morning with salt and water as hot as
can be borne. When taken out, rub
the feet briskly with coarse towel.
Salt and water is one Of the remedies
for sore eyes, and if applied in time
will scatter the Inflammation. Silk
handkerchiefs and ribbons should be
washed in salt and water, and ironed
wet, to obtain the best results. Food
would be insipid and tasteless with
out it. Hemorrhages Of the lungs or
stomach are promptly checked by
small doses of salt.

GROWING OLD GRACEFULLY.

Concerning the ability to accept old
age in the best spirit, Marion Howard
asserts that hundreds of women allow
themselves to grow old and mario W;
they kill the youth in their hearts
(when they see the first silvery
threads)by making themselves be-
lieve there is nothing good to be had
out of life now, and by convincing
themselves that every word of their
neighbor, every action, covers a sell
fish motive. They regard the beauti-
full white hair which softens so many
faces as an indication of senility, never
of wisdom.
How will I manage to keep young?
you ask. I will answer that question
in true Yankee fashion by asking
others. Who are the people who grow
old earliest? Those who work? who
keep in touch with the things of the
day, who associate with the young Of
both sexes, who know how to enjoy
hearty laugh, and tell good story,
who take care of their bodily health,
who indulge in a daily nap at noon
time, who are engaged in congenial
and elevating pursuits? Not a bit Of
it! No woman need fear that occupa-
ton will shorten her life-quite the
contrary.
A lack of interest in life, want Of
something to do, will age you more
quickly than any toll. The woman who
wishes to grow old gracefully will not
permit herself to become careless in
her attire, and she knows from obser
walton that an intelligent, kindly look
in the face will take away ten years
of her life and make her seem to those
who know and love her twenty years
younger. And the woman who loves,
whose children are dear to her, who
has friends who need her, never falls
into that condition of old age from
which we shrink with horror.
Disease, will do it's work, Of course,
but, given health, any woman may |
keep her heart young while she lives.
In connection with old age, it may be
interesting to note what an eminent |
poet once said: "There are three class
es into which all women past 20 are
divided: THAT dear old lady, that |
old woman that old witch.'"

Henry w. Paine, the eminent Bos-
ton lawyer, once went to one of the
interior towns Of Maine, where a boy
was on trial for arson. He had no
counsel, and Mr.. Paine was assigned
by the court to take charge of his case.
He discovered, after brief interview
with the boy, that he was witted.
The jury, however, was composed of
good, solid country farmers, who
owned barns such as the defendant
was alleged to have set on fire; and,
in spite of the boys evident weakness
of intellect, they brought in a verdict
Of guilty. The pres iding justice turned
to Mr.. Paine and remarked: "Have
you any motion to make?" Mr. Paine
arose, and in his dry and weighty
manner answered: "No, your honor:
I believe have secured for this idiot
boy all that the laws of Maine and the
Constitution Of the United States al

Ethan Allen (474), by Ethan Allen (43), by
Vermont Black Hawk
The result of breeding in New England for
the last ten years has demonstrated that no
other com b1nation of blood lines is, as pro-
duct1ve OF uniform speed as the Wilkes Nor
gan Combination.
Allen Wilkes is one of the results of such
union, and has shown that he is a trotter, by
making a race record of 1923 at White River
Junction, Aug. 81, 1893.
Bred as he is, in the strongest lines of
Hambletonlan and Morgan families he
should be able to transmit to his progeny,the
trotting gem-and this he has done to many
a mile better than 2:30, and many others show
minutes or better. Out of colts sired by
Allen as 2-year- old, were sold young
horses for extra prices, one for $500.
The color of Allen Wilkes lis a rich mahog-
any bay, and know of only of his colts
that not bay.
Alien Wilkes is perfectly sound, and poss-
esses perfect family horse disposition. The
fact that Allen Wilkes dam produced "Cob-
dellah,' 2:28H is important in determining
whether or not Allen is possessed of inherit
ted speed.
