Candy Eating and when and Why Injurious.
We hear a great deal about the injuries of
candy-eating but prominent scientists say that
il is not injurious If eaten at proper times and
in moderate quantities. They say mat young
children and old people need candy because OF
its heat-giving principle.
This will account for the fOndness old people
have for candy, who have not cared much about
it in their younger or more vigorous days.
The danger of caBdy-eating Is not because 1T
is sweet but because it is eaten in lmmoderate
quantities and at improper times.
The cheap favors now used are seldom poison
ous and the old-fashioncd mineral pigments
such as the chromate Of lead aud arsenlte OF
copper, and even the terra alba or Whlte eartD'
have fallen into disuse.
The authorizations are chiefly white four and
glucose sometimes used in such large quantities
as TO be at once detected.
Some OF the acid candies lemon drops for
instance. are, however, very injurious to some
stomschs aud should be avoided By those whose
digestive organs are not as strong as they might
be- Again some of the nut candies become
stale and the nuts rancid and even wormy.
The point seems TO be TO buy pure, uncoored
candy aud use the same common sense in eat
ing it as you would your meals.
Children suffer from candy-eating because
they are allowed to solicit pennies and patron
ize the corner drug store or grocery at all hours
appetite for their meals.
This is as bad habit as il is to eat unripe
fruit and quite as deleterious 10 the health.
To recapitulate, when you buy candy see that
it is pure and fresh, and see that you cat it at
such times as will not interfere with your
meals and with digestion and nutrition.
As well 90 around ali day chewing beefsteak,
cheese, lamb chop. as 10 be munching candy,
no matter how pure and fresh.

the maintenance of those principles which
secure freedom of conscience"
A certain philosophical school has taught
that "love of country has its origin in physi-
cal comfort" but ! say 1T has not. III a person
cannot endure few hardships for his country.
rest assured there is not q grain Of patriotism
in his heart. Is IL not true that tho more one
suffers for his country the dearer it becomes to
him? Is it not SO that the most prosecuted
and loug-suffering races are endowed with the
deepest patriotism?
The Swiss in their narrow valleys and Steep
sided mountains the Scotch in their rugged
Highlands are classic models of patriotism.
Where, too can be found nobler example Of
this than in the piety and heroism of Joau OF
Arc.
True patriotism is a sentiment which the
discomforts Of the climate or the poverty of the
country does not lessen. Then" you ask, '' if
patriotism is all that you claim it to be- how
can we cultivate it2" But this is question
easier asked than answered. There is no set
rule for il. Love of country comes uncalled
for, one knows not how. 1t is like n mighty
river pulsating through our system, throbbing
at every heart beat but of its source we know
not.
ITO direct this spontaneous sentiment Of
hearts to our Nation. to raise it high to educate
il, is in something's easier and in something's
harder" but it may be DONE and it must be,
if we, as Nation wish to prosper. We have
our great names; we have had grand expert
ences; we have. in Short food for patriotism,
for man, for child. Then we should, as duty,
if nothing more make the best use of this ma
terial; for "a nation bereft of patriotism be-
comes cold and cramped and sordid." Without
it society will degenerate, and the mean and
vicious will triumph.
great orator of France. who has realized
the necessity of this devotion, has said: amer:
leans, begin with the infant in the cradle. Let
the first word he lisps be Washington. Bury
the Nations great names in his heart, contem-
plate habtually. lovingly and inteiligently
this vast reality of good; and such an institu-
ton may do somewhat to transform this sur
passing beauty into national life, which shall
last while the sun and moon endure"

5. Six days shalt thou wash and keep

shalt take "a great bath, thou and thy son,

For in six days man sweats and gathers filth

hours of the night.
Finally, thou shouldst measure thy days

out knowing how, found myself reclining in
such comfortable place, and near by was my
pleasant hostess. while on the floor by large,
low window played her three beautiful chill
dren.
She had taken me into her little kingdom,
the nursery. j had never before noticed how
very rcstful she was, but to-day, when sur.
rounded by her children and lovingly smooth
ing their little difficulties or teaching them
how TO manage some paything that would 90
wrong, it seemed as If sort of goodness or
actions, and almost forgot my aching eyes as
i watched her.
With what grace she stopped TO help some
little one, then returned TO talk on books. Some
people do not like being interrupted. but did
you ever notice there is a way OF yielding that
makes it really charming, and seemed almost
as though this little res" in the music of
conversation were Indispensable?
Then came sleepy time for the little ones and
instead Of seolding because nurse was late or
chastising the little dears for being fretfuI she
gave round their Testlessnegs her rest aud low
