THRIFTY FRENCHMEN.
They Allow No Waste With the Foo
Supplies of Their Homes.

They Allow No Waste With the Food
Supplies of Their Homes.
Economy and cleanliness are Eyffa
onyms, especially in the household IKE
have but to refer to the French peopl9
to prove the truth Of this. Their thrift,
economy and cleanliness for a sequence
demonstrated in their beautiful capital,
extended to their very kitchens, where
the nicely of their food manipulation,
their careful marketing and dainty re-
pasts all seem as aids to the great sani-
tary problem. The Frenchman wastes
never crumb. He markets for the
day. His larder never overf7ows. His
meals are composed of tidbits. Some
times to the American palate It seems
insufficient, but when all is considered
what cuisine can take the palm from
the French? This secret Of the French
mans thrift and cleanliness lies entirely
in his method OF supply. The smallest
bit Of food is not too poor to turn to
some dainty appetizer. Small things are
not abhored by him. Indeed, it is re-
voting to see large quantities Of good
food cast before swine in the shape Of
garbage. One never sees in France
whole loaves Of bread, moldy and I'M
slightly, cast into unfrequented fields or
lots or thrown into cutters by beggars,
a familiar sight in the streets about
American homes, especially 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. uncIeanliness and
unhygienic conditions unpleasant to
taste and sight are escaped in a great
measure. Until there is a full recogni-
ton Of the danger from contaminated
food, becoming so by contact with de-
caying material, perhaps in the ice-box,
perhaps from the refuse heap or can,
perhaps from grease-clogged sinks, etc.,
our domestic hygienics are not above re-
proach. In these days, when Spartan
constitutions are unknown and deaths
from mal-nutrition are found on all
sides in the improvident classes, les
son or two upon the question of waste
and want should work wholesome
cure. Let the supply equal only the de-
mand, and there will be little or no
waste.

Each His own weather Prophet.

Every man who owns a bicycle is now
his own weather prophet. He holds in
his hand the long-sought solution Of the
problem how to make rain.
If his wheel gets muddy and he lets
it stay so, clear weather will be assured.
If he attempts to clean off the mud a
shower will result within twelve hours.
If he cleans and polishes the wheel so
that it shines like new, a terrific thun-
dershower will fall as soon as he tries
to go for a ride
A large number Of Wheelmen have
found this to be fact and as you can't
ride wheel during wet weather the
fact that SO many muddy wheels are
seen proves that they are left dirty to
avoid causing rainstorm.

LUCY WAS DEMURE.
But the Sedate Young Minister Feared
High Kicking Girls.

A Sedate young minister recently took
up quarters in a boarding house in the
Tenderloin district, says the New York
Press. He was delighted to find him
self the only gentleman at a table
where six young women lent charm
even to murky coffee and hashed and
rehashed hash. He took them to church
with him on the first Sunday morning,
and in the evening they sang gospel
hymns for him. He retired early that
night, and the sound of their voices
lulled him to sleep, but it did not seem
to him that the song was exactly goS-
pei. However, he had forgotten the
occurrence by breakfast time. The next
day some marks on the door of the
back parlor attracted his attention.
There were just as many of them4-a1-
though he did not notice that-as there
were young women, varying in alti-
tude from four and a half to five and
three quarters feet. Over each mark
was capital letter, but it did not &C.
