A Sinful Waste.

There are few Households III the land
put have Il periodical recrudescence Of
economy in the matter Of food supply.
A big grocer's or butchers bill imme-
diately suggests that there should be
some economy practiced somewhere. "
The present activity in the field OF
dietetics should spread valuable knowl
edge into every kitchen. 1t is already
showing benefits in the matter of nutri-
tious food versus medicine.
Housewives dopot always realize that
they have prominent part to play i'll
this grave question of the day, the dis
posal of garbage" That responsibility
lies within the domestic threshold, and
to consign the collection of waste to the
scavenger is not the limit Of her power
nor a self satisfying conclusion. What she
consigns does not concern her, and this
"bete noir" found in every part of the
land, subject fraught with almost in
surmountable difficulties to those whose
business it is to find healthful and
quick disposal of garbage, is far more
the business of the housekeeper than she
is willing to acknowledge We must go
back of the garbage can to find the cause.
American extravaganza is provelbial the
world over. We provide with lavish
hand Unskilled and Indifferent help
waste accordingly. Expenditure for food
in large percentage of the middle and
lower classes is estimated to take very
often fully three-fourths Of the income
Actual consumption and benefit derived
from quantity supplied is notably small
in the Weather families.
Convincing proof is found in the over
flowing garbage can. Lack of robustness
among certain class and the amount
of debility affecting a majority of peo-
pie prove to Investigators a want of
proper nutriment to build up the over
wrought body, which must endure some
how the strain and stress of American
life and climate.
The unintelligent methods Of poor
servants, unskilled in handling food, is
one cause of the effect 1t is considered
their prerogative to waste what does not
suit their fancy. "Leavings" which may
be the best portions from the mistresses
table are not palatable to their taste, anC
so good material isSpeedily hidden from
sight, more is called for, and a haphazart
supply to keep Bridget good nature(

1t is just this waste in the world tina
has been the cause Of plaques, pesti
lences and diseases. 1t is wasted time

IN GENERAL,


Heartworn and weary the woman sat,
Her baby sleeping across her knee,
And the work her fingers were toiling at
Seemed a ptifu task for such as she.
Mending shoes for the little feet
That battered over the cabin floor,
While the bells of the sabbath day rang sweet,
And the neighbors passed by the open door.
The children played, and the baby slept,
And the busy needle went and came
When, 10, on the threshold stone there stepped
A priestly figure and named her name:
" What shrift Is this for the Sabbath day,
when bells are calling and far and near
The people gather to praise and pray2
Woman, why are you tong here?"
Like one in a dream she answered low
Father, my days are work days all;
know no Sabbath. dare not go
Where the beautiful bells ring out the call;
For one would look to the meat and drink,
And tend the children and keep the peace
pray In silence. and try to think,
For Gods love can listen aud give me peace"
The years passed on, and with fast and prayer
The good priest climbed to the state of rest;
And tired woman stood waiting there,
Her work.worn hands to her bosom pressed;
ID Oh. saint thrice blessed, mount thou on hight"
He heard the welcoming angels say,
And meelSly, gently she passed him by,
who had mended shoes on the Sabbath day.

What Makes a Good News Reporter,

One of the best reporters | ever knew
was man who could not spell four
words correctly to save his life, and his
verb did not always agree with the sub
ject in person and number, but he al
ways got the fact so exactly, and he saw
the picturesque, the interesting and i'm
portant aspect of it so wildly that ii
was worth another mans while, who
possessed the knowledge of grammar
and spelling, to go over the report and
write it out. Now, that was a man who
had genius, He had talent the most
indubitable, and he got handsomely paid,
in spite of his lack Of grammar, because,
after his work had been done over by o
scholar, it was really beautiful
But any man who is sincere and ear
nest, and not always thinking about
himself, can learn to be good reporter.
He can learn to ascertain the truth. He
can acquire the habit of seeing, When
he looks at fire, what is the most i'm
portant thing about that fire? Here, let
us say, are five houses burning. Which
Ia the greatest? Whose store is that
which is burning, and who has met
with the greatest loss? Has any individ'
ual persisted in the confagration? Are
there any very interesting circumstances
about the firef how did it occur2 Was
1t like Chicago, where COW kicked over
spirit lamp and burned up the city
All these things the reporter has tc
Judge about. He is the eye of the paper
and he is there to see which is the vita
fact in the story and to produce it, tel
1t. write it out.--Charles A. Dana il

Why Dogs Bark.

In writing Of the native dogs of Cen
tral America, Frederick Boyle brings
forward theory as to how dogs form
the habit of barking. He was discussing
with an old resident of the country
some traits of the coyote, as the ma
tive wolf is called but which more near
ly resembles the dog.
Dogs will never go wild so long as
they can find master to serve, and
more especially trained dogs. The coyote
never banks, and only gallops when pur-
sued
"Why don't these coyotes bark like
other dogs l asked an old Indian,
pointing to one l was trying to reclaim.
and why do they only howl and the
pups grunt?'
His answer was, "He won't learn. F"
"Not learn said l. "What do you
mean"
"No," he replied, mot learn, for if
he were of an honest breed he would
bark, to try to initiate his master, or,
at all events, the other dogs, but all
barking proceeds from dogs initiating
their masters shout. The master shouts
to drive in cattle to the corral and the
dog barks also. In fact, the dog initiates
his master when he banks; he tries to
speak, but cannot.
I give this curious observation as the
only attempt I ever heard to account for
the barking of our tame dogs. No wild
breeds make any noise except bowling
and snarling, nor, under the best cir
cumstances, will they learn to bark I'M
til the third or fourth generation. -
