Thing. That Fatten.

A writer on obesity says: ''The safest way to reduce obesity is to begin by eating and drinking less and to take as much exercise as possible. increasing it gradually day by day. Butter, fat, oil, sauces, haricot beans, peas, yer micelli, rice, tapioca, macaroni. all fat ten. Bread should be eaten in modera- ton and stale or toasted. All sweets are forbidden. Plainly roasted or boiled meats taken in moderation with plain boiled green vegetables may be eaten, also, fruit, apples and oranges especially. ooseberries or entrants are good when in season, and for drink. lemonade unsweetened, weak tea, and black coffee. Housework is especially recommended, such as dust ing. sweeping, moving the furniture about and kneading bread. Gladstone fells trees. Saving wood is excellent. Walking comes next. Cold baths are valuable. ."--Chicago Tribune.

 The resourceful newsboy is not a product of America alone. He is found in London as well as in New York, as the following story, told by clergy man some years ago, attests.
 A benevolent old gentleman. having observed for several nights in Trafal- gar square youngster selling ''even- ings," who seemed particularly sharp and above the average in every way, conceived the idea of benefting him, and, as he expressed it, putting him in the way of earning living. One night, therefore, the boy was accosted with:
 II say, my boy, wouldn't you like to give up selling papers and have a situ- ation where you could be good, and away from bad company"
 How much week?' promptly in- quired the lad.
 The old gentleman was taken aback at such a very practical question, and hardly knew what to answer. At last he said:
 Well, I don't know. Perhaps four or five shillings"
 Hal ha! hal" laughed the lad. that's good. Why, pay my mother fifteen bob a week now"

 Considerable excitement has arisen over the report that life of Christ has been found in Thibet in the Lamasery of Hemis. The story of it's discovery is sufficiently circumstantial to suggest a serious attempt to obtain possession of the manuscript for the British mu- scum.
 Tt was a custom among the Phari- sees of the time of Christ to have a trumpet sounded in the market place when they were about to distribute aims. This was done ostensibly to call together the objects of charity, but really to herald the munificence of the donor.

 "Yes," said, ''t's tn ere"
 "Ay, then I'll get home," she mutt tered, and, reaching her stick, she wrapped her cloak around her and hob- bled to the door.

 The wind rushed in and swept her outward into the darkness l heard the breakers lash the beach, and the door slammed.

 Aunt Kezlah nodded.

 What put it out that night?" again asked.
 Your grandmother used to say no. body ever knew. Owls or wind, most likely. They say the ship might ha' kept off the cape rock if there been light, but before another could be set it went down."
 "Oh!" l exclaimed, and thought awhile. Dolly's curly head had dropped forward, and in the freight her cheek was the color of the big roses Aunt Keziah kept or her jar of leaves.
 What did she mean by wedding?" l asked. presently. Whose wedding was it?''
 Her own," said Aunt Keziah, wind ing her yarn: it was his boat. That's when her mind went, that night. She set light in the belfry every night for many year, till she got so old the parson got her out O it and had it done. She's got some sense left, but she likes to tell the story over and over. Now, go .o bed, both O you.''
 But Dolly could not get awake, and took her in my arms Her head dropped on my shoulder, and, as l started up stairs slowly, she murmured:

How to Preserve Cider.

A pure, sweet ider Is only obtain
able from clean, sound fruit, and the
fruit should, therefore, be carefully ex-
amined and wiped before grinding.
In the press use hair cloth or gunny
in place Of straw. AS the cider runs
from the press let it pass through a
hair sieve into large open vessel that
will hold as much juice as can be ex-
pressed in one day. In one day, or
sometimes less, the pomace will rise
to the top, and in a short time grow
very thick. When little white bubbles
break through it draw off the liquid
through very small spigot placed
about three inches from the bottom,
so that the lees may be left behind
The cider must be drawn off into very
clean, sweet casks, preferably fresh
liquor casks, and closely watched. The
moment the white bubbles before men
toned are perceived rising at the bung-
essary to repeat this three times. Then
fill up the cask, and add a tumbler of
warm sweet oil and bung up tight.
For very fine cider it is customary to
add at this stage of this process about
half a pound Of glucose Starch sugar.,
or q smaller portion of white sugar.
The cask should then be allowed to
remain In cool place until the cider
has acquired the desired flavor.
In the meantime, clean barrels for
its reception should be prepared, as
follows: Some clean strips Of rags are
dipped in melted sulphur, lighted and
burned in the bunghole and the bung
laid loosely on the end Of the rag so
as to retain the sulphur vapor within
the barrel. Then tie up half a pound
Of mustard seed in q coarse muslin
bag and put it in the barrel, fill the
barrel with cider, and add about
quarter of pound Of isinglass or fine
gelatine dissolved In hot water. This
Is the old-fashioned way, and will keep
cider in the same condition as when
it went into the barrel, if kept in
cool place, for year.
Professional cider makers are now
using calcium sulphite (sulphite of
Ime) instead of mustard and sulphur
Vapor. 1t Is much more convenient
and effectual. To use it, 1t Is simply
requisite to add one-eighth to one-quar-
ter Of an ounce of the Sulphite to each
gallon Of cider in the cask, first mix
ing the powder in about a quart of the
cider, and giving the latter a thorough
shaking or rolling. After standing
bunged several days to allow the sui
phite to exert its full action it may be
bottled off. The sulphite of lime (Which
should not be mistaken for the sui
plate of lime) is a commercial article,
costing about forty cents pound by
the barrel. 1t will preserve the sweet
ness of the cider perfectly; but unless
care Is taken not to add too much of
1t, 1t will impart q slight sulphurous
taste to the cider. The bottles and
corks used should be perfectly clean,
and the corks wired down.
A little cinnamon, wintergreen or
sassafras, etc, is often added to sweet
cider in the bottle, together with a
dram or SO of bi-carbonate of soda at
the moment Of driving the stopper.
This helps to neutralize free acids, and
renders the liquid effervescent when
unstopped; but If used to excess it may
prejudicially affect the taste.

A ONE-MAN TOWN.
The Curious Experience of a Commercial
Traveller in Colorado.


Traveller in Colorado.
have discovered q town in Colorado
which 1 believe is owned body, soul
and spirit by one man. There is moth
ing very remarkable in all the real
estate Of Western city being owned
by single individual, but this is the
first time l have ever found a place
where the business interests seemed to
be practically in the hands of one man.
The town has perhaps 800 inhabitants,
and Is the centre of a good agricultural
district. The first day 1 arrived at it
l went to the hotel, where I was intro
duced to the landlord, busy, pushing
individual, who seemed to have no
time to eat, and who kept running out
at short intervals and returning in
breathless haste. 1 set down his ac-
tivity to bad case of boom fever, but
was speedily undeceived.
Having occasion to get bankers
draft caShed, l called in at the little
bank, and to my establishment found
the little hotel proprietor behind the
counter He greeted me as an old
friend, and it occurred to my mind at
once how readily the Identification
question would be settled if every
hotel keeper were also a banker. My
business was transacted promptly and
satisfactorily, and then 1 proceeded to
hire rig at the livery stable to drive
to small neighboring town, where an
old customer had just started in bust
ness. When l got back in the evening
the hotel proprietor and banker was at
the stable, and it was to him that l
paid the So charged for hire. In an
aside he told me that he ran the livery
stable because he could not lease the
building to reliable tenants, adding
that as corn was so cheap there was
a pile Of money IN the business.
The next morning / called at the
only really large store in the town.
When l made my business known the
young man told me that the proprietor
was out, but that he would fetch him.
A moment later the hotel keeper, bank
er and lveryman came in, and I sold
this local Pooh-bah a bill Of goods
large enough to make me feel happy
for couple of days. 1t occurred to
my mind that I might just as well
have shown him the samples at the
hotel, but I did not say so, and the
transaction was satisfactorily COM
pleted.
The last discovery which astonished
me was when l went for my mail on
the arrival of the afternoon train. In
the Postmaster, Who was standing in
his shirt sleeves behind the counter
and distributing mail with great rapid
ity, l recognized the man whom I had
already met In four different capaci-
ties, and I believe if I had not left the
town that evening I should have dis
covered him in a half dozen more.-A
commercial traveller, in the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
