WASTE OF FOOD sY AMERICANS.
People from Europe Astonished by Our
Careless Table Methods.

People from Europe Astonished by Our
Careless Table Methods.
An English health journal expresses
great surprise at the quantity of food
eaten by American against English.
1aborers. 1t is very curious to see how
different foods preponderate in differ
ent industries. The textile worker in
Europe will have 95 pounds of meat
per annum for every 100 units of con-
sumption, or, say, a quarter of a pound
of meat day, while steel workers in
dulge in ia pounds for every 100 units.
On the other hand, the weaver con
sumes more flour than the steel work
er-275 pounds per 100 units instead of
2OS pounds. He also takes about II
pounds of sugar more per 100 units,
and dozen more eggs; of butter, lard
and tea both take about the same,
though both in tea and coffee the
weaver little exceeds the other. That
is, in the calling which demands the
greater muscular exertion, greater
amount of nitrogenous food is required.
On the European continent the con-
sumption of meat by workers is much
less than in Britain. Even in the iron
industry the German is little more ex-
travagant than the English weaver
Willie 1AS EI0ACHuudn CONSUMES only
57s4 pounds and the Belgian 5551
pounds. On the other hand, the latter
consume more flour and eggs, more
than twice as much of each. Their
consumption of coffee, too, is large-14
pounds and 10 pounds respectively, to
the Englishman's 81 pounds; but i
must also be taken in the reckoning,
that tea does not appear in their ac-
counts. But all these figures pale be-
fore the statistics of food consumption
in America.
The Illinois iron worker manages to
consume 393 pounds of meat per 100
units, andthough this is excessive, 2O6 %
pounds are put down as the average of
Pennsylvania, 1879 pounds for Ohio,
1874 pounds for West Virginia and 155
pounds for Tennessee. The average
consumption of flour for the states is
about $50 pounds, but voracious Illinois
again comes to the fore with 366
pounds, and sugar, butter and eggs are
everywhere more lavishly used than in
Europe. Here, as in Europe, iron and
steel industries are found to be more
self-indulgent than any other trades,
but the expenditure here is far above
that of even the most extravagant
workers of Europe. Much of the food
accounted for in these figures is actual
1y consumed, but large margin must
be allowed for what is wantonly de-
Stroyed, and when the history of the
waste of food products in the United
States comes to be written it will con-
tain some startling and not altogether
pleasant reading.

A Fishy Story.

Pyeng Yang, city in Corea, was
founded three thousand and sixteen
years ago. 1t is known as the we'll
less city. Within its walls is not a
single well and all the water of the
city is carried up by watermen from
the river which washes it's southern
wall. Tradition shows that this has
always been so, for it is said that when
a Chinese general besieged it two thou
sand years ago, believing that he could
compel its inhabitants to capitulate by
cutting off their water supply, he was
led to give up the attempt because the
soldiers on the walls took fish scales
and went through the motions of the
bath, and the scales, glittering in the
sun, looked in the eyes of the aston
ished besiegers to be drops of water

A Pompous Little Chap.

Alfonso, king of Spain, is now a lit
tie more than eight years of age, and a
pompous little chap he is, which is not
to be wondered at when Spanish eti-
quette is considered. His slumbers are
watched throughout the night by the
Monteros de Espinosa, body of men
who for four hundred years have en-
joyed the exclusive privilege of guard
ing the king or queen from sunset to
sunrise. They are bound by tradition
to be natives of the town of Espinosa,
and must have served with honor in
the army. They lock the palace gates
with much ceremony and solemnity at
midnight, and open them again at seven
o'clock in the morning. Naturally,
Alfonso thinks he is great little man.

Kept for rour centurles.

A curious story, illustrative of the
perservative properties of carbollc acid
gas, or ''cholzedamp," comes from
China. In the province of Anhui party
of miners opened an ancient shaft,
where, according to the official records,
a terrible catastrophe had occurred
four hundred years ago. When the
miners entered they came upon the
bodies of one hundred and seventy
miners, who had perished in the mine,
lying where they had been overtaken
by the deadly gas four centuries back
The corpses to the eye were as though
of yesterday, quite fresh-looking and
not decayed in any way. The faces
were like those of men who had just
died. On an attempt being made to
move them ontside for burial, they one
and ali crumbled away, leaving moth
ing but a pile of dust and the remnants
of the stronger parts of their clothing.
Tne miners, terrified, fed from the
spot, and though there were valuable
deposits of coal in the shaft, nothing
would induce the superstitious men to
ret-1r-, 20 tlscir work.

There is no medicine 80 often needed
IN every home and so admirably adapted
to the purposes for which it is intended,
as Chamberlain's Pain Balm. Hardly a
week passes but some member of the
family has need of it. A toothache or
headache may be cured by it. A touch
of rheumatism. or neuralgia quoted.
The severe pain of a burn or scald
promptly relieved and the sore healed in
much less time than when medicine has
TO be sent for. A sprain may be
promptly treated before inflammation sets
IN, which insures cure in about one
1hird of the time otherwise required.
Cuts and bruises should receive i'm
mediate treatment before the parts be-
come swollen, which can only be done
when Pain Balm is kept at hand. A
sore throat may be cured before it be-
Games serious. A troublesome corn may
be removed by applying it twice day
for a week or two. A lame back may be
cured and several days of valuable time
saved or pain in the side or chest re-
lIeved without paying doctor bill. Pro-

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. 22.-The Iron
Trade Review says: Recent develop
ments in iron and steel have begotten
unanimous desire among producers for
new year and new deal. Statis-
tics of pig iron stocks show that coke
iron has been piled to an extent be-
yond expectation and where makers
have been compelled to stay on the
market they have parted with their
product at figure that in some cases
has ment a loss on every lon, if books
are rightly kept. The largest producer
OF souther iron has decided to suspend
sales calling for long deliveries until
there is chance for the better, but
this has not prevented other producers,
north and south, from giving buyers
the full benefit of the existing weak
ness. 1t is conceded by buyers that
the prices are too low to last and when
the more anxious producers are flied
up with orders the reaction may be
looked for"
