THRIFT OF FRENcHMEN.
They Allow No Waste in the Foo
Supplies of Their Homes.

They Allow No Waste in the Food
Supplies of Their Homes.
Economy and cleanliness are syno-
nyms, especially in the household. We
have not to refer to the French people
to prove the truth of this. Their thrift,
economy and cleanliness form a Sc
quence demonstrated in their beauti-
full capital, extended to their very
Kitchens, where the nicely of their
food manipulations, their careful
keting and dainty repasts all seem as
aids to the great sanitary problem.
The Frenchman does not waste q
crumb. He markets for the day. His
larder lever overfows. His meals are
composed Of tid-bits. Sometimes to
the American palate it seems INSULT
Gent, but when all is considered what
cuisine can take the palm from the
French?
This secret of the Frenchman's
cleanliness and thrift lies entirely in
his method Of supply. The smallest
bit of food is not too poor to turn into
some dainty appetizer. Small things
r not abhorred by him. Indeed, it
is revolving to see large quantities Of
good food cast before swine in the
shape of garbage. One never sees in
France whole loaves of bread. mcldy
and unsightly, cast into unfrequented
fields or lots or thrown into cutters
by beggars, a familiar sight in the
streets about American homes, especi-
ally in large cities.
Money is saved, labor minimized,
and health is preserved by economical,
careful observance of the food supply.
Contamination of one kind of food
with another grown stale is avoided,
and the troubles of disorder, unclean-
illness and unhygicnic conditions un-
pleasant to taste and sight are escaped
in a great measure. Until there is full
recognition of the danger from con
taminated food, becoming so by con
tact with decaying material, perhaps
in the ice box, perhaps from the re-
fuse heap or can, perhaps from grease
clogged sinks, etc., our domestic hygi-
enics are not above reproach. In these
days, when Spartan constitutions are
unknown and deaths from mal-nutri-
ton IRE found on all sides in the i'm
provident classes, q lesson or two upon
the question Of waste and want should
work a wholesome cure. Let the sup
ply equal the demand. and there will
be little or no Waste.-Baltimorc Amer

A story told by DR.. G. w. Balfour in
his book on 1.-THE Senile Heart" well

"a gentleman Of seventy-seven consult

which he was liable. A distinguished
c%onsultant, now dead, had told him
that these attacks were due to fatty
degeneration of the heart, and that
treatment would be of no avail. The

The result of treatment was a steady

Of heart beat, and the patient lived to
be ninety, and did not die of heart
failure In the end, but from senile

Is what DR.. Balfour has to say about
the diagnosis Of the disease: ut is
absolutely impossible to d~iagnosticate
fatty degeneration of the heart.

"My. wife," said the middle-aged
man, ATTENDS to all household affairs.
She buys all the food supplies and I
simply eat what IL provided and am
grateful. l put up the money and she
pays; and I rarely see the bills. But
I did happen to see a milk bill the
other day and I was amazed to see
that there was no cow on it. When I
was a boy every milk bill had a COW
on it. Milk bills in those days we're
made out on printed blanks about the
size of a bank check or draft, and
there was always q COW, usually a
COW of pensive demeanor, in one cor
ner. In rumaging over old papers l
have come across hundreds OF milk
bills. and every n Of them had a

imagined that a milk bill would be

NERVOUS DISEASES.
1. Physician Notes Their increase In

4. Physician Notes Their Increase In
England.
] investigated the subject some time
ago by analysing the annual reports
IT the register general for the period
of thirty years. The frequency With
which they occur, the place they occu-
py III the general mortality of the ma
ton, the age at which they are most
murderous, and the peculiar influence
of sex upon their development were
then shown to follow certain definite
and simple laws. into the working of
which chance does not enter. There
is NJ question that certain functional
neuroses, more especially failure of
brain power, hysteria, hypochondria-
sis, and similar affections have been
for some time past on the increase ow-
Ing to the fact that the struggle of life
is keener, the competition more in
tense. the work heavier and the anx-
iety more absorbing than used to be
the case In previous periods Of the
history of mankind, more especially
In the large centers Of population.
The nervous system Is therefore more
liable to break down by exhaustion
than was the case in former times.
This. however, does not apply to the
really organic or structural diseases
OF the brain and spinal cord, such as
tumor, %softening, Inflammation, etc.,
nor to epilepsy and insanity, which
continue to occur in about the same
ratio now as they have done before.
The general results of my investiga-
lions. based on nearly 225,OOO cases,
may be summed up in the following
five propositions:
First-The rate at which disease of
the nervous system prove fatal to the
population Of this country is a steady
one, and subject to a definite law, to
which there are not any or only ap-
parent exceptions. This rate does not
appear to vary p%erceptibly from time
to time, and amounts to about II per
cent of the entire mortality from all
causes.
Second-Disease of the nervous sys-
TEN occupy the fourth rank among
the maladies destructive of human
life, being only surpassed in fatality
by zymotic, tubercula. and respiratory
Diseases
Third-Nervous diseases are not, as
Is commonly asserted, more frequent,
but. on the contrary, less mere in
large towns than in the country, and
1t Is probable that their occurrence is
powerfully Influenced by race.
Fourtll-SeX has q considerable in
fuence on the production Of nervous
diseases; for although in this country
the population Of females exceeds that
of the males, the death Of males from
nervous affections predominant con
stantly Yer those Of females, the male
death rate being 1924 and the female
11.62 per cent.
Fifth-Age has even a more power
full influence IN the production Of
nervous diseases than sex; for these
maladies attain an immense maximum
In the first years of life, owing to the
great prevalence Of infantile couvul-
sions. They are much less frequent
IN youth and middle age, and attain q
second maximum in old age-that is,
after seventy-owing to the prevalence
of apoplexy and paralysis; but the
second maximum amounts to only
about the tenth part Of the first max
imum attained during infant life

Two persons were born at the same

After an age Of fifty years they both
died, also at the same place and at the
same instant-yet one had lived. 100
days more than the other. How was
this possible? Tie solution turns out
on a very curious, but, with a little re-
Election, q very obvious point in cir
cumnavigation.

the east he gains Cne. Surprising

he will be, fifty days behind the sta

sails equally toward the. east, he will
be fifty days in advance of them.
