Chemistry For Girls.

Knowing the chemical composition of

various methods of preparation. house
wife can put her learning to economical
uses and do her cooking on such Il basis as
TO produce palatabie dishes with no loss of
Diitrment and at the least expense. AS a
matter of fact, an uneducated cook, even
5hough she enjoys the reputation of always
making things taste good, is seldom a
saving coOk-not because she intends to be
wa,tefui. but because she has not the scien-
tific knowledge regarding food materials
and their management which would enable
her 10 be saving. On the other hand, an in
teilgent cook has scientific reason for ey-
ary direction and every process. She is able
not only to prodnce the most appetizing re-
suits, but to do so with the greatest econ
omy of time, labor and money.
The same is true in other departments
which come under the care of the house
wife A knowledge of chemistry and the
ability to make a few simple tests would
enable her to avoid the use of great many
frauds, useless and injurious articles-for
example, washing compounds that are ut
terly worthless or that will rot the clothes;
toilet powders containing bismuth, or ar
senic for her own complexion or use in the
nursery; expensive baking powders that
contain alum or something worse; q won

that costs about IS cents a gallon; poison
Gus hair dyes; dangerous ointments; quack
medicines warranted to cure the most Sc

ETC. ad inlinitum.
Therefore, we say, let the girls study
chemistry in the school, not merely for the
culture and mental discipline to be derived
from it, but for its practical, economic val
ue, and not only ''let" them do it, but in
sist that the school directors furnish the
opportunity for them to study at least the
elements o! the subject. -Philadelphi Rec

Remarks on Eggs.

Eggs may lose their nourishment by
cooking. The yolk raw Or very slightly
boiled is exceedingly nutritious. 1t is,
moreover, the only food for those afflicted!
with jaundice. When an egg has been OK
posed to a long continuance of culinary
heat, its nature is entirely changed.
slightly boiled egg, however, is more easy
of digestion than raw one The best ac-
compartment 20: u hard egg is vinegar.
Raw eggs have Il laxative effect; hard boiled
the contrary. There is an idiosyncrisy in
some persons which shows itself in the Mt
ter disgust which they experience not only
against the egg itself, but also against any
preparation of which it forms an ingredi-
ent, however slight. Eggs should always
be literally accompanied by bread, says Ia

When the late blizzard struck Washing
ton, everybody said it would create much
sickness and cause terrible distress among
the poor. but so far rs can yet be observed
the doors Of odd jobs seem to have found
it bonanza, and in the midst of il the
president and secretary of state went off
on shooting trip, making no secret of
the fact that they were as happy to get
away from congress for few days as wea-
ried schoolooys are to get away from
frowning pedagogues.
In the midst of the elemental distress
also the house of representatives main
tanned its usual heat, and denunciations
and denominations on silver and filibus-
tering were hurled back and forward with
mt the slightest abatement. 1t would
Jeem also that there are some CLEANS of
real light on the tariff in the senate. AT
any rate, senators are now willing to talk
and give probabilities which are at least
worth reading. The weight of opinions
down to date is that all the appealing in
terests will be taken care of just little
that is, there will be moderate duties on
sugar, coal and iron ore, not indeed what
the interested parties ask, but good deal
more than the house committee was will
ing TO grant.
There Is no doubt apparently that the
tax on whisky will be increased 10 or 90
cents per gallon over that fixed in the bill
by the house, and generally, says Senator
Jones, AL the increases will be in the in
terests Of revenue and none SO large as to
defeat that purpose" The fact of an in
cidental protection coming in will be no
objection.

The foresight Lord Rosebery dis.

was one of Il house party at Ment.

Siberian Tribes.

In soTe parts OF Siberia there are
various tribes who live principally
on what they can obtain by hunting.
During several months in the year
the hills and plains are covered with
a deep snow and the only way tho
people can travel from one place to
another is by means OF sledges drawn
by dogs and reindeer. The inhab-
itants OF this region are strong and
hardy, capable of enduring hard
ships that would be fatal to others.
They are experts in the use OF the
bow and arrow, with which they kill
their game and also defend them
selves from the bears and wolves by
which they are often attacked. In
the long winter nights they amuse
themselves by playing cards and
chess. Their chess-men. which they
form from the teeth OF wild animals,
are elaeorately carved in the most
curious patterns.

OTTAWA, Ont, June 25-The an
nual report of the Dominion health
bureau has just been presented to par
lament and is both voluminous and
valuable OF course there are the
usual tables Of statistics, showing the
number of deaths, diseases, etc, but
these form interesting reading only to
mathematicians and doctors. The
best part of the volume is to be found
at the beginning where the chief OF
the bureau gives his account of tho
years work and events.
The point on which the report lays
most stress is the extremely gratifying
falling off in the death rate during
:he past year The number OF deaths
throughout the Dominion during the
time covered by the report, is within
a fraction of 40 per cent less than
N any previous year in the history of
Canada. Proceeding further, the re-
port points out that the greatest de-
crease is noticeable in deaths caused
by kidney diseases diabetes, Brights
disease, rheumatism, heart disease,
and in fact all diseases trace
able to disordered kidneys This i'm
portant feature of the years statistics
is strongly emphasized in the report
and was much discussed by the sena-
tors and members of parliament now
attending the sessions.
Inquiry was made as to the cause OF
this wonderful decrease in the death
rate 1t is plainly intimated that it
was due to the use by patients
afflicted with the diseases mentioned
of the now cele brated remedy known
as Dodds Kidney Pills. Many of the
government officials and members of
parliament testified to the astonishing
cures effected by these pills that had
come to their knowledge. Their use
is common all over the Dominion, as is
proved by the fact that the gentle,hcn
who testified as to their virtue come
from different sections of the country.
More than one membe or senator can
readily be pointed out, who carries a
box of the pills in his pocket all the
time, and uses them. The proof must
be considered conclusive, which points
to Dodds Kidney Pills as the import
ant factor in the remarkably great re-
duction in the number of deaths in
this country during the past year,
something on which Canada is much
TO be congratulate

AN EGG STEALER.
The Weasel Is Easily Entitled to the
Championship.

The Weasel Is Easily Entitled to the
Championship.
Game eggs and small birds alike are
the objects of the foes, furred and
feathered, who come behind man.
The feathered ones naturally have
the widest scope; for eggs, whether
reposing on the ground or in a we'll
built nest in n lofty tree, come
equally within the range OF sight and
swoop. The furred ones have to con-
tent Themselves with the ground
eggs, which are, of course, the best;
perhaps, therefore, they have the
best of the deal, though not so much
variety. And among them we rank
facile princeps the stealthy, sinuous,
ubiquitous weasel. Stoat and polecat
like eggs, but they are rarer and more
sparsely distributed than the smaller
but much more effective weasel. This
willy creature is an egg-sucller of
immense enthusiasm and persever-
ance. Winding its way through the
purple heather, or the scrub and
bracken, toward the nursery of the
red or black grouse, creeping amid
grass or clover, or scarcely rustling
along the leaf-carpeted ditch toward
the simple nest of the gallant hen
partridge, Il vcritable amazon in de-
Tense of her family, polking its head
out of disused drain in the farm
yard, accommodating the hen houses,
gliding through the long grass at the
edges of the rides, and amid the hazels
and hollies of the copses after
the pheasants costly eggs, the weasel
is equally indefatigable. 1t will ban
quet on every egg it can find till
gorged like a trout on the may-1y,
and kill young birds till it desists
only from sheer wearinoss. Like it's
semi-tame relative, the ferret, it is in
bloodthirstiness and its concomitants
four-footed Scptembriseur.
