People use the white flour of COM

idea that it must be white to look
nice. There is no physiology which
bases the qualities of food upon a
white color. Color is a sentiment.

elements of the tissues the body feeds
upon. 1t does not say the body must
be white. This preference Cor white
-four comes altogether from habit and
false education, for those who eat
bread and other food made from
whole wheat flour soon begin to love
it, and in a short time experience a
natural craving for it which white
bread does not and cannot satisfy,
and the light brown color of the
bread, with its rich wheat flavor, is a
constant reminder that the life and
sustenance are not driven out of it,
while its satisfying and nourishing
qualities attest that it is the perfec.

Few know that mamma is a species
of gum which exudes from the ash.
The true mama ash is the Fraxinus
ornus. 1t is a beautiful tree and has
much handsomer flowers than any
other ash. In some parts of Sicily
trees are planted especially for these
substances which they yield, just az
in some parts of our country the sug.
al maple is planted for its sugar.
The ash trees are tapped when about
10 years old. A transverse cut is
made about one-third Of the circum-
ference of the tree, a number Of
these transverse cuts being made one
above the other. As many as AZ cuts
are frequently made in one large
trunk.
In some countries where mama is
collected it is done by inserting tubes,
just as is the case of collecting the
maple sugar, but where these cuts
r made the gum runs down the
trunk and hardens. The following
season cuts are made just above those
of the previous year. After this has
been three years in progress the
stems are cut down and the new crop
Of shoots left to get matured. Some
times, however, the stems are left
standing four years before being
bnally cut away.-Cncinnati Ec.

The fifteenth century pilgrim, Fe-
lix Fabri, so exactly expresses my
sentiments about camels that / will
quote his remarks. He says:
IA camel has a small head and is
without horns. 1t has big and ter
rible eyes and always seems a sol
rowful and troubled animal. Its eyes
are like fire beacons, and big refiec-
tons shine in them, for whatever Il
camel looks at seems great and huge
to it, wherefore it seems to view ev-
erything with wonder and alarm.
When, therefore, a man goes up to
it, the beast begins to tremble, so
that the man perceives that the
beast trembles because the man COM
ing toward it seems to it to be four
times bigger than he really is.
Had not God SO ordered it this an
imal would not be so tame and order
ly as it is. When it screams, being
in trouble, it opens it's mouth, shakes
it's head and raises up it's long neck,
wagging it to and fro, SO that a man
who is not accustomed to it is dis.
turbed and frightened. Nineteenth

'Home, Sweet Home" Touched a Chord In
the Hearts of the Pigs.
Joseph jefferson, speaking of his
early life, when he travelled with his
father and mother, said that in one
western town in which they played
the only theater was a penthouse.
This establishment was a large frame
building. mounted upon piles about
two feet from the ground and stu
ated in the open prairie just at the
edge of the town. The pigs were
banished from their comfortable
quarters and left to browse about on
the common during the day, taking
shelter under their former abode dur
ing the evening.
After undergoing some slight re-
pairs" he said, and submitting to
thorough securing and whitewash-
ing, the building presented quite are
spectacle appearance. The play for
the evening was Clair, the Maid of
Milan This drama was written by
John Howard Payne, and his song of
Home, Sweet Home belonged to
the play. My mother played the
part of Clair and sang the touching
ballad. Now, it is a pretty well es-
tablished fact that if an infant is
Struggled into the theater it will
break forth into it's lamentations just
when the most perfect stiffness is re-
quired.
ION this occasion no youthful hui
manity disturbed the peace, but
the animal kingdom in the shape of
the banished pigs asserted its right
to a public hearing. AS soon as the
song of Home, Sweet Home com
menced they began by humping
their backs up against the beams,
keeping anything but good time to
the music, and as my mother plain
lively chanted the theme Home,
Sweet Home realizing their own
cruel exile, the pigs squealed most
dismally. OF course the song was
ruined, and my mother vas i'll tears
at the failure. My father, however,
consoled her by saying that, though
the grunting was not quite in har-
mony with the music, it vas in per-
feet sympathy with the sentiment"

A Republican Year.

Scarcely a single democratic oasis is
discoverable in Tuesdays returns. East
and West, North and South, the republi-
cans swept things nearly clean. Even
such democratic strongholds as New Jer-
sey, South Carolina, Tennessee and Miss
ouri experienced what was little short of
a revolution. Colorado and Kansas cut
loose from their populist moorings and
drifted back into their old republican
channels. Louisiana alone seems to hold
steadfast to the faith, although even there
the republicans are talking of contesting
the election of the six democratic con-
gresham. From Kentucky comes the
news that a republican has been elected
to succeed Representative Brcckinridge-
a result undoubtedly brought about by
Brcckinridgc's friends. The defeat of
the author of the Wilson bill is conceded.
Wyoming elects Il republican legislature,
which will choose two United States SEN
ators. Indiana was struck by the repub-
lican cyclone, rolling up a majority of
$4,000 or 10000 or so. All the New
England states are republican by in
creased majorities. Even West Virginia
and New Mexico elect republican lcgis-
lature; and so it runs.
