4 Meat.Eating Nation.

The recent dinner of the Vegetarian
Society in this city has attracted con-
siderable attention. A gentleman
from Germany who has recently made
tour of observation in this country,
commenting on this vegetarian move
ment, said it was just what the United
States needed. He added, "Ameri-
cans eat too much meat. / have OBJ
served that fact wherever / have gone.
You have meat for breakfast, for
luncheon and dinner. IA Germany
our breakfast is cup of coffee and a
boiled egg or two. Then come our
midday dinner in courses, a simple
supper and n snack before we go TO
bed" My German friend was COM
PEELED to admit, however, that he was
not as frugal in his diet as he pre-
tended to be, for he said that the Ger
man people always felt free to take
sandwich and a cup of coffee or glass
of beer between their meals and as a
rule managed to eat at least five or six
times day. Englishmen are great
meat eaters. Perhaps we inherit our
appetite and our taste from them.

The annoho,s nletarr.

The dietary Of the South American
gaucho (cowboy) is simple, 30 his
cooking is elementary in its charac-
ter. As rule, he eats only once in
the day, toward sunset; when, jour
neys or toll being ended, supper, con-
sisting of thin piece of meat, ia
roasted upon a spit of iron or wood
stuck slantingly over a quick fire. If
this should be in winter, all sit around
on the skeletons of horses heads, and
with their long knives or facons (falch-
ions) cut Jumps from the haunch.
This, being held in the left hand by
one end, is seized with the teeth at tho
other, and tempting tit-bit is skill
fully cut off The hard, dry meat, de-
ficient in fatty constituents, is washed
down by copious drsughts of mate,
made from the favorite yerba.
The hut, dimly lighted by lamp in
which bullock's tallow is burned, bears
some resemblance TO a stable, from
the brides, saddles, spurs, bolas, and
lassos which decorate the roughly
daubed walls. If the Gaucho happens
to be family man, fat, black-eyed,
good-natured. nearly naked children
indulge in antics during the meal,
while the poultry wink drowsily from
their perches, No wayfarer is turned
from the door, for the hand and heart
of Sbe child of the pampas is ever
open to the stranger, and the arrival
of such Is made convenient excuse
for bringing out the cana, coarse
spirit, which has perhaps been provo
cative of more evil than anything else
which he can call his own. Water
melons are sparingly partaken of in
their season, but these are almost the
only vegetables the wild horseman
cares for. Temple Bar.

DR.. Charles G.. Davis. of Chicago, In n
paper read before the National Temperance
Convention and printed in the Journal OF
the American Medical Association, speaking
of the National Temperance Hospital Of Chi
cago, says
"The basic principles upon which this
institution rests may be formulated as fol-
lows
Il. Alcohol is poison.
'2. When taken into the system, il is not
assimilated, but passes the round OF the cir
culation, and is finally thrown of through
the organs of excretion, unchanged.
''3. While passing through the body 1t
disturbs the various physiological processes
and in this way lays the foundation for dis
ease.
"a. 1t does not stimulate or strengthen,
but II depresses and weakens.
''S. As 1t is not asslmilated, it cannot be a
food.
80. As II disturbs every physiological pro-
cess, II cannot be a medicine
~. There Is no disease affiicting the body
that cannot be more successfully treated
without than with the use OF alcohol
Speaking of the success which has at
tended the treatment OF surgical and medical
cases without alcoholic or fermented drinks,
he says
''The lesson already taught has been SUM-
ciently convincing to impress the most
sceptical that alcohol is not only uuneces-
sary as an active medicinal agent. but that,
In a ma iority OF cases, II is an actual him
drance to the recovery OF the patient. Slowly
but surely, every year, this great truth is be-
ing impressed on the minds OF the medical
profession.

A CHOICE BEAN SOUP.

One of the best of the puree soups
is made from black tourtle beans aud
stock. 1t is choice enough for any
dinner, though, as it is quite nutri-
tious, 1t would not be as suitable as a
clear soup for dinner of many
courses. Pick over apint of the beans
and soak them twelve hours in cold
water The next morning drain and
cover with three pints of boiling water.
Cook slowly until the beans are ten
der. Drain the beans, press them
through a fine wire sieve. Heat three
pints of beef stock, add the beans, and
stir thoroughly. Heat to n boiling
point, season to taste with salt and
pepper. Garnish the soup with slices
of lemon. Hardboiled eggs are also
excellent in this soup. Cut them in
thin slices aud use with the sliced
lemon. Have your soup plates hot

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Keep a dish of water on the back of
a tight stove to purify the air.
A clean apron worn while hanging
the clothes helps TO keep them clean.
A teaspoonful of ammonia to one
teacupful Of water for cleaning Jew
elry.
Place a strip of wood back of the
door where the knob hits the paper IN
opening.
Before laying carpet wash the
floor with turpentine to prevent buff
falo bugs.
Powdered pipe clay, mixed with
water, will remove oil stains from
wall paper.
In bottling pickles or catsup boil
the corks, and while hot you can press
them in the bottles, and when cold
they are sealed tightly.
Kid gloves for ordinary wear are
painted; only the bright opera tints,
such as fashionable ladies wear TO
match their colored dresses, are dyed.
Vinegar and salt will clean the
black crust off sheet iron frying pans,
but they should be bethoroughly secured
afterward with sand soap or any good
securing soap.
If shelves and floors of closets are
wiped with hot water with cayenne
pepper and afterward sprinkled with
boraX and alum, reaches and other
vermin are kept at bay.
When the fats in the fire it is never
wise to throw water upon 1T. If fat in
kettle boils over and there are ashes
convenient to throw on the blaze, it is
the surest, safest way to put it out.
A simple plan of disinfecting rooms
consists in putting a saucerful of salt
in the middle of the room and pour
ing on it a dram or two of sulphuric
acid. The fumes that arise do the
work of disinfection.
Silver cracker jars with separate re.
ceptacles for different kinds of bis
cults and crackers are novelty. An
other new effect in table silver are the
wooden bread platters set in broad
rims of worked silver A silver bread
knife goes with them.
The chimney Of a lamp should never
be touched with water. A few drops of
alcohol, or even paraffine oil, will re-
move the dimmei, smoky effect, and
make the chimney as bright as posi-
BILE when it is polished with a soft
flannel or chamois skin.
To clean hair brushes quickly and
easily, take dessert spoonful of
hartshorn to a quart of cold water in a
wash hand basin. Dip in the hair of
the brushes, and rub them together
until clean. Then rinse we'll with
cold water, rub dry with a towel and
stand upright at an open window.

The zoothermic Institute in Rome
is ''cure" place, where people go to
drink fresh blood for the cure of gout,
rheumatism and the great prostration
and an@mia caused by the malarial
fevers of the Tontine Marshes. The
blood to be imbibed is first rapidly
freed from fibrine, by n carefully
aseptic method, the animals from
which it is derived having previously
undergone inspection by veterinary
surgeon. Some patients bathe either
part or the whole of the body in the
warm blood, and the italian doctors
think with great benefit, in spite of
which, it seems barbaric survival.
The poor are treated gratis, but the
highest fee is equivalent TO fifty cents
of our money. New York Indepen-

The Sand.in.Sugar Fiction.

Nearly everybody entertains the
opinion that dishonest merchant
will mix sand with his sugar for the
purpose of gain. This is indeed a
popular error, for sugar is but rarely
adulterated, from the fact that unless
scientifically done, and then only with
certain kind of clay, the fraud would
come to light without the consumer
applying any test. If sand is mixed
with sugar it would be discovered by
the sugar eater, or the sand would be
found as a deposit at the bottom of
the coffee cup, or it would betray it.

Simon Pakago, the son Of the Indian chief
who ceded to white men the ground on which
Chicago stands, visited the Worlds Fair. He
was vexed by the sale of liquor in the grounds
and afterward wrote letter in which he
says that the Fort Dearborn massacre Of
1912 was caused by liquor furnished 70 the
Indians. In defence of his race he denies
that ii was a massacre, but battle in which
the Indians lost more than the whites. But,
he says, ''my father said 'rAttlesnake water
had more to do with the fight than anything
else. When shipments were received at the
fort there we're five barrels OF snake water to

which lived in one OF the latest of the
