on the Venezuelan dispute was received,
the following comments by leading jour
nails of all political parties are quoted:
Chicago Times. Herald: The nation
is with tie president. It makes no diff
erence to us whether or not any foreign
government may decline to admit the
validity Of the Mearoe doctrine. We are
not capable of the puerility of entreating
recognition of it as favor. We are
prepared to demonstrate its validity with
the entire strength of sovereign people.
Chicago Chronicle: The presidents
message is not only a strong appeal to
American pride and patriotism in the
matter now at issue; it is clean-cut and
vehement enunciation of the Monroe
doctrine, which in his hands is vitalized
as never before since its promulgation
Chicago Inter Ocean: The message is
in a tone that will be pleasing to the
country. 1t insists. upon the validity of
the Monroe doctrine, and upon its appli.
cation to the present conditions, and it
clearly indicates determination for its
enforcement.
st. Louis Republic: President Cleve-
lands message is the most vivile assertion
possible on the spirit of the Monroe doc.
trine, This is not jlugolsm. It is Amer
icanism..
Chicago Tribune: However the boun
Diary dispute may eventuate, the thanks
of the country are due to President Cleve-
and for his vigorous, resolute, fearl ess
land patriotic defense of that doctrine
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette: No
one could have asked for stronger.
more decisive or more vigorous sopport
of the Monroe doctrine.
St. Louis Globe Democrat: It has the
true American ring. If the Monroe doc
trine is TO remain 4 vital principle of
American diplomacy, this is the time to
assert it.
Cinnc;;nati Enquirer: Cleveland's
message is another exhibition of Ameri-
can back bone which every American
will applaud. Congress must sustain
President Clevelanu's position or else
aband on the Monroe doctrine.
Buffalo Express: At last the people
of the United States will presant solid
front with regard to our foreign policy,
unbroken by partisan chickering's o.
jealousies.
Washington Star: The message is one
Of the most vigorous and patriotic state
papers that ever manated from the exc
cutive mansion.
Washington Post: No president of
! the American Union has ever given out
an utterance more courageous, more in
spring, more splendid.
new 1Oik ADVERTISER: UrOVeI CIeVe-
land at one leap has reached the high plan
of patriotism. The message voices the
sentiment of the entire American people.
New York Press: President Cleve-
lands message to congress is faithful
reflection of the sentiment and dispo-
sition Of the American people.
| Denver News: Because President
Cleveland is right he should be heartily
sustained by every patriot. War seems
inevitable. If it does not come, one coun-
try or the other must stand confessed
braggart.

The venerable Galusha A. Grow, who
was speaker Of the house before the war,
fired the first gun in discussion of
the tariff question IN the present
congress. In referring to the presidents
constant cry of cheap living for the poor.
Mr.. Grow said; "According to the pre-
sident's theory the poorhone would be
the ideal place of existence. People
live there cheaper than anywhere else."

The story of European rule in America
has been mainly one of oppression and
bloodshed. England treats Canada with
moderation because the United States
taught her lesson. But Cuba is still
in the tolls, and the tyranny of foreign
government is working her ruin. The
Monroe doctrine means that there has
already been too much Of this curse laid
upon the people of the New World.-St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.
There is a prospect for another Pan
American congress. The Washington
dispatches recite that conferences have
been held between Secretary Olney and
representatives of several of the South
American states with view to forming
an alliance of the American republics.
This grows out of the Venezuelan affair
and the presidents bold assertion of the
interest of the United States in the re-
lations between European powers and
Elm such as Mr.. Blaine champinned, but
if his plans had been carried out and the
reciprocity principles which he advo-
Gated, had been retained by this adminis-
tration political Pan-American alliance
would have been the natural outgrowth

were sought to be established.Mr, Blaine

His Sum.

Kate Sanborn tells, in abandoning
An Adopted Farm" q story Of big
boy in a country school, who WAS clever
enough in some studies, but h0pelessly
deficient in mathematics. The teacher,
a man who had little mercy for a stupid
pupil, one day lost patience with him
entirely.
The boy had failed To do a simple sum
in subtraction, and the teacher rubbed
out the figures on his slate, put down
six eiphers, and six more under them.
He drew Il line, handed the slate back
to the dulla-i and said grav-ly:

Remedial Use Of Apples.

Chemically says writer in the
North American Practitioner, "the ap-
pie is composed of vegetable fibre, a.
buInen, sugar, gum, chloroPhyl, MALE
acid, gailie acid, lime and water.
Furthermore, the German analysts say
that the apple contains a larger per-
centage Of phosphorus than any other
frJit or vegetable. The phosphorus :
admirably adapted for renewing the
essential nervous matter-loc!thin-of
the brain and spinal cord. il * per-
haps for this reason-.hough but rude
l. understood the Oil Scandina-
Wan traditions represent the apple a.
the food of the gods, who, when they
felt themselves 20 De growing feeble
and infirm, resorted to this fruit TO re-
new their powers of mind and body.
Not only the phosphorus, but the
acids OF the apple are Of singular use
for persons of sedentary habits, whose
livers are apt to he too slow of action.
These acids aid the liver in its work Of
eliminating from the body the noXious
matters, which, if retained, would
make the brain heavy and dull, or, in
time, would cause rheumatism, !iaGnd-
ice or skin eruptions, and other allied
troubles.
The nalic acid of apples, either raw
raw or cooked, will neutralize any cx-
cess ofchalky matter engendered 10y
eating too much meat.
Ripe apples are probably the least
fermcntable of all fruits, except posi-
bly, the banana. For this reason ripe
and sound apples may be eaten by
most persons in even the hottest weathr
er; but even the apple Is safest when
cooked.
Dried or ''evaporated' apples are the
most heathfuI of all, for they hEve t.
tained the best qualities Of the fruit,
while showing still less tendency to
fermentation than the fresh fruit

How to Make Chocolate.

FOR healthful beverage, nothing il
more delicious than chocolate prepared
with eggs. This is rather an unusual
fOrIa Of serving il, but it is well worth
all the care required in it, preparation,
a. we have found since following re-
cipt that has been carefully preserved
since testing it. One, two or three eggs
may be- used to each quart Of chocolate,
according to taste and the consistency
desired, and three or four Of the small
cakes Of sweet chocolate.
The quantity Of chocolate also de-
pends upon the taste, a fair proportion
being one division, aboGt an inch wide
and three or four long for each half pint
ofwater. Crate the chocolate OF break
it in small pieces, put it over the fire in
= thick chocolate pot, and stir il until
It scftens; then stir in q quart OF milk
TO four small cakes Of chocolate. While
the milk : heating separate the yolks Of
the eggs from the whites, beat the yOlks
to a smooth cream, and the whites To
stiff frcth. When the chocolate bOils
tax e the pot of the fire, or move it
where it cannot boil. Dip halfa cupful
of chocolate into the beaten yolks,
quickly mix it with them, and at one
pour them into the rest of the chocolate,
and mix them in with the chocolate
sticA or wire egg-beater. Next beat in
the whites thoroughly and serve the
chocolate hot.
The success of the beverage depends
upon the rapidity with which the beaten
eggs are mixed with the chocolate after
il once boils. Ifit were allowed to boil
after the eggs are added they would be
come ''cIrdled' or cooked, of course.
As the chocolate retains the heat there
i time enough to blend the beaten eggs
with il before il becomes too cool, If
the operation Is deity and rapidly ac-
compIished.

Cat Causes a Blockade.

y black cat clused the blocking of
the trolley ears on one of the Brooklyn
lines. the animal sprang from fence,
and seated himself between the rails in
front Of an approaching car, and re-
fused to bulge. The motOrman, who
believed that to kill black eat is an
lucky, stopped the car 80 violently that
many of the passengers were thrown
from their seats. Canes and umbrellas
were flourished at the animal, bat il
refused to move, and il held 10 this de-
termination even when the motOrmIn
pushed the front Of the ear over it,.
Finally, after nine ears had been
blocked, a conductor seized the eat by
the tail and threw it on the gidewalk,
and the procession moved on.

A Train Stopped By Snalls-

Mr.. Laille, an engineer in the employ
of the Tunisian Railway, writes in the
DiDeche T,misieRUe, The train coming
east from Suk-el-Arba last Thursday
was two hours late for a very singular
reason. The road was literally covered
with snails, the wheels of the l9como-
tive crushing these moliusks into a
pulp, which destroyed all adherence
and caused the locomotive wheels 10
skate, 80 to speak, in their places. We
have seen flocks Of locusts stop trains,
but | think the fact that snails can
stop train is without a precedent.
These snails are very general all
through Tunis, especially during the
rainy season the smallest remainders
of green on field or tree are covered
with them, - much so that they APP
pear like a bunch Of grapes hung up,
only that their white shells produce a
curious effect.

Buying Babies.

The old siiversmith gave me good
idea of coolie marriage customs, and
surprised me by saying that almost
every little girl i'm the village was en-
gagged, as We would express it, They
had all been picked ont and paid for,
some of them not more than two or
three years old, and from the time they
We're old enough 10 speak or think they
knew who was to be their future hus-
band, or papa" as the Hindoo women
call husband. In many eases the sale
had been made in India, and the hus-
bands Were only waiting forthe girls
To grow large enough To marry, which
meant usually about twelve years old
When the arrangement was made i'm
India the future husband would not
enigrate unless his little 'sweetheartu
and her parents emigrated also. There
were several eases in the village, | was
told, where both parents of one of these
little engaged girls had died, and
where the future husband took the
child into his house, To he treated in
every respect like his daughter until
she was old enough To become his wife.
How much a coolie pays for a baby
wife was one of the things 1 was not
able to find out. 1t must be very little,
for they have absolutely nothing when
they reach Trinidad.
The marriage of an adult cOOlie wOm-
an is said TO bs very rare; the coolic
prefers to see his little bride grow up
and to marry her before she has learn
ed to read. 1t often happens that these
baby wives go to school after they are
married-demurc and graceful little
matrons of twelve sitting with the Oth-
er children, learning to read and write.
They can always be distinguished from
the other pupils by their superior
clothes and the quantity Of jeweiry
they wear. In my intercourse with
the coolies ! saw nothing to lead me to
believe that they ever treat their young
wives unkindly; they seem to be very
fond Of them and of everything coli
Rected with the little home, even to
the domestic animals 1t is only in
eases of unfaithfulness, which are rare,
that the husband points his arguments
with dirk.
"What do the little girls think Of
having Older husbands selected for
them without being consulted - That
is what any American will ask, and il
is what no American can answer with
out knowing enough OF their language
to talk with them, for the young chill
dren do not speak English. Their feel
ings can be judged only by their ac-
ti0ns, aud they almost invar. ably ac-
cept the arrangement and make good
wives. \ coOlie girl can marry a lover
OF her own selection if she chooses,
under the British law OF Trinidad; bu;
she knows that the other fellow will
cIt her throat if she does, and the next
minute viii very likely stick knife
into himself. This pleasing cJstom
naturally tends to make the marriage
contract very 5inding.-Neig York Ssa.

THE FARM ICEHOUSE.
To Build One Does Not Call for Very
Much Expenditure.

No particular architectural ability is
nce'led in putting up an icehoase, sug-
gcsis the 1Hcrico1 C,liiiratOr All that
is needed Is to put up frame, ineIos-
ing il both inside and out, in a locality
where there is good drainage, 80 that
water from melting ice can be carried
away without letting a current Of all
come up through the ice. The filling
in of the air spaces between the double
wall is commonly done with sawdust.
This is cheap, and in localities where
there are lumber mills, il i often -
plentiful that il il given away to any
one who Will take it, IL is necessary,
however, even then, TO get the sawdust
early, for as the time for filling ice
houses approaches, there is always a
demand for it. a new material known
as mineral wool has lately been intro
duced. Ii is mineral, and, of course, Is
not wool at all, though il looks and
feels like wool. It is the glass fibres
made i'm refining iron ore by the action
of heat ON the particles Of sand that it
contains. Once this Stag remained i'm
immense piles around iron ore refiner-
les, but its value for making mineral
wool has caused demand for all that
can he got of il. The cost of mineral
wool if near toa factory will probably
be near sl7 per ton, but its bulk in pro-
portion to weight il 80 great that il can
not be transported far. Ii Is the clean
est and best non-conductor Of heat. 1t
contains "A great amount of air, and
when Laid in the walls Is a nOn-con-
ductor of heat and of sound also. No
kind Of insect or other vermin will live
in walls where the filling is with this
glass material. For this reason, a. well

erably used for sheathing dwelling
houses. Ii also greatly retards de-
structiOn when houses are attacked by

About Egg Cookery.

There are four ways of boiling eggs,
and il i, of course. most essential that
the eggs should be perfectly fresh
lst. Put the eggs in boiling water and
let them simmer for three minutes if
they are small, and half minute longer
if they are large.
2d. Put the eggs into a stewpan Of
cold water, and place it on a brisk fire.
A. soon as the water boils, the eggs are
sufficiently cooked.
81. Place the eggs in a stewpan OF
boiling water, and Withdraw it from
the fire; keep the vessel covered, and
in six minutes the eggs will be done.
18th. Steam the eggs for four min
utes in a potato steamer.
The second way i preferable TO the
others, ~ the white i rendered more

To poach eggs in balls, put three pints
of boiling water into a stewp1a; set il
on the stove or Goals; stir the water
with u stick until it rams rapidly around,
then, having broken an egg into cup,
taking care not to break the yolk, drop
il into the whirling water. Continue To
