WASTE OF FOOD BY AMERICANS,
Our CareIessI Table Methods.

feOple europe AStOn18hed by
An English health journal expresses great
surprise at the quantity of food eaten by
American ao~inst English laborers. 1t Is
very curiou to see how different foods pre-
ponderate in different industries. The tex
tile workers in Europe will have ninety-five
pounds OF meat per annum for every 100
Units Of consumption. or, say. a quarter Of
a pound Of meat day, while steel workers
indulge in ia pounds for every 100 units
On the other hand, the weaver consumes
more flour than the steel worker-275
pounds per 100 units instead of 2OS pounds
sugar more per 100 units and a dozen more
eggs: Of butter, lard and tea both take
about the same, though both in tea and
coffee the weaver a little exceeds the other
That is In the calling which demands the
greater muscular exertion,a greater amount
Of heterogeneous food is required.
On the European continent the consump-
ton of meat by workers is much less than
in Britain. Even liz the iron. industry the
German is little more extravagant than the
English weaver, while the Frenchman con-
sumes only 81 "a pounds and the Belgian
30 1-2 pounds. On the other hand, the lat
ter consume more -four 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
IL pounds; but 1t must also be taken in
the reckoning that tea does not appear in
their accounts. But all these figures pale
before the statistics Of food consumption in
America.
The Illinois iron worker manages to con-
sumo 1903 pounds of meat per 100 uni,s
and though this is excessive, 206 1-2 pounds
are put down as the average Of Pennsyl-
vania, 1871 81 pounds for Ohio. 1S7 IA
pounds for West Virginia and 1856 pounds
for Tennessee. The average consumption
of flour for the states is about go 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 actually consumed, but
q large margin must be allowed for what
is wantonly destroyed, and when the his
tory of the waste Of food products in the
United States comes to be written II will
contain some startling and not altogether
pleasant reading.

N item found in an unidentified English
clipping gives women smokers the advan-
tage at least of aristocratic examples. THE
Empress Of Austria smokes thirty to forty
Turkish cigarettes every day. On her writ
ing table there is silver box, with fine re-
lief work, filled with cigarettes and a gold
ash tray. The czarina also yields to the
passion for nicotine, but she only smokes
in her boulder. Her anxieties may plead
her excuse; but Queen Marguerite of Italy,
whose life is freer from care. smokes also,
and smokes much, but always in solitude.
The Queen Regent Of Spain consumes Egyp-
tan cigarettes in large quantities.: ex-Queen
Natalie OF Servia has a great store Of cigar
cites of every kind; the Queen Of Roumania
carries a little golden box filled with the
same means Of delight, while the Comtesse
de Paris appreciates only the tobacco of
Havana, and her daughter. the Queen of
Portugal, gets her cigarettes from Dres-

The Imperturbable Nurse.

When woman looks upon bodily suffer-
Ing every day and all day, year after year,
1t is impossible for her to be affected in the
same way at the thousandth spectacle or
scream OF pain as she was at the first
Those who live near a loudly striking clock
fail to notice 1t at last, though their ears
have not grown dull Of hearing.
So the perpetual sight of sickness and dis
ease. especially when accompanied by an
effort to repress emotion. must blunt the
impulsiveness of sympathy. But. in fact,
the quietly perceptive eyes Of the trained
nurse are far more likely to see what is the
matter with the patient than those Of the
keenest inexperienced spectator and she
placidly spots his needs (Which she re-
lieves) while the other is sincerely profuse
in his or her expressions of coincidence
Real concern at the pain Of another is apt
to evaporate IL the bottle of sympathy is
allowed to remain uncorked
Thus. the good nurse, checking the bub-
bles of tenderness and compassion. is set
upon tending the sufferer, while others only
tell him how sorry they are to see him in
pain.

A machine has been patented Ito clean

have been devised which would be more ap-
preciated by the patrons of the old confec-
tionery women on the corners. Take your
antique gumdrops for instance, and throw
them into the vibrating sieve of the ma
chine. This sieve Is concave and lined with
a brush that is something between a carpet
sweeper and a squirrels tail. Running
iengthwise Of the sieve and having a sweep
ing motion is long brush made of the
finest bristles. The body OF this brush Is

They rented the land near Chicago and
went to work with a will. Each week a
boy was chosen to have charge, and every
one of the others was bound to obey him in
everything. In this way each one was boss

The Roads.

The General Assembly has spent
more than four-ffths of it's time
wrestling with many subjects that
might have been omitted with bene-
fit to the State, including the time
spent in trying to pass a free pass
bill, but not one thing toward aid
ing in building goods roads.
If we were called upon to say
what ono thing, in our opinion,
would make our State more pros
porous than anything else that could
be done, we would unllesitatingly
answer, thorough system of sub
stantially built roads in all the coun'
ties. This would more widely diff
fuse wealth, intelligence and happi-
ness than anything else the Legisla-
ture could do. Yet thoy have done
nothing toward securing this much
desired end. Let our people begin
agitating the question now
and keep it up for two years and
we will educate our politicians ere
the next election.

THE great brilliant and versatile
editor OF the Courier-Journal,
in recent speech at q
Press Club Banquet in St. Paul,1nade
the following significant remark: 81
don't care d--n what happens, SO
it don't happen to me-" This is the
straw that broke the cancels back.
Watterson always was iinpulsive,
bright and original, but his democ-
racy never, until now, was open to
criticism. To take the remark seri-
ously one must condemn the author
heartily. It shows a spirit of bitter
acrimonious selfshness, and that the
worst clement in human nature pre-
dominates in the man to wonder
full degree.
To look at it in another light, prob
ably Mr.. Watterson had on little
too much Of the spirits frumenti and
was not responsible for his remarks.
Either way it is looked at, it does not
show Mr.. Wattarson in very favor
able light.
