MURDERED BY INCHES.
A Married Woman's Marvellous Rescue From
Death.

The following startling disclosures of
a New England woman would battle be-
lief were not the positive proofs at hand.
Lost for nearly a year to her family
and friends tortured by most agon-
izing trials into mere living shadow,
the restored wife and mother now makes
public the particulars of her rescue.
Her trouble dates back to a year ago
last June, when worry and oVerWork
brought on a condition of mental de-
preston, from which, do what she
would, she was unable to free herself
Her family noticed that she seemed
to lose all energy. Next her strength
gave way. Then she began to waste in
flesh, until the wrinkled skin of her face
We're sharp. She couldn't bear to rest them
on the table. 1t seemed as If nothing but
her skeleton was left. Seeking health
abroad, by the advice of her physicians,
she failed SO fast that her husband did
not recognize her when he met her on
the deck of the returning steamer. Her
children were frightened at the strange
woman" Eminent specialists who were
now consulted sent her to Rhode Island
sanitarium. According to her own words,
such were her sufferings and so hopeless
her condition that when she lay down
to troubled sleep she hoped that she
food seemed like bitter medicine. Her
brain only a machine for measuring pain.
Her only thought that she was being
murdered by inches. No help from sea-
shore or mountains. No relief from doc
tors medicines or hospitals. A grain of
hope from Swedish massage. She seemed
to gain, but found that it was due from

Thrifty FRENCHMEN.
They Allow No Waste With the Food Sup
plies of Their Homes.


Economy and cleanliness are synonyms,
especially in the household. We have but
to refer to the French people to prove the
truth Of this. Their thrift, economy and
, cleanliness form q sequence demonstrated
in their beautiful capital, extended to their
very kitchens, where the nicely of their
food manipulations, their careful market
ing and dainty repasts all seem as aids to
the great sanitary problem.
The Frenchman wastes never a crumb.
He markets for the day. His larder never
overfiows. His meals are composed of It'd
bits Sometimes to the American palate
it seems insufficient, but when all is con-
sidcrcd what cuisine can tako the palm
from the French?
This secret of the Frenchman's cleanli-
ness 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 are not abhorred by him. In
deed 1t is revolving to see large quantities
of good food cast before swine in the shape
of garbage. One never secs in France
whole loaves of bread, moldy and insight
ly, cast into unfrequented fields or lots OF
thrown into cutters by beggars, familiar
sight in the streets about American homes
especially in large cities.
Money Is saved, LABOR mlnlmlZed and
health is preserved by economical, careful
observance Of the food supply Contami-
nation of one kind of food with another
grown stale is avoided, and the troubles of
disorder, uncleanliness and unhygienic
conditions unpleasant to taste and sight
are escaped in great measure. Until
there is full recognition of the danger from
contaminated food, becoming SO by con-
tact with decaying material, perhaps in
the icebox, perhaps from the refuse heap
or can, perhaps from grease clogged Sinks
etc., our domestic hygfenics are not above
reproach. In these days when Spartan
constitutions are unknown and deaths
from malnutrition are found ON all sides
in the improvident classes lesson OF two
upon tho question of waste and want
should work wholesome cure. Let the
supply equal only the demand, and there
will be littla or no waste.

SOME SENTIMENT IN FLATS.
Fender Associations About Places In Which
the City Nomad Locates.

-@F-N~~-.@
"This moving about every year destroys
tho sentiment of life, " an old gentleman
was overland to say to younger one on
suburban train one day during the migrat-
ing period.
1--WE lived in the same house over on
Michigan avenue ever since tho fire of 1871,
and we managed to save a good many
things from the old homo to mako the new
one homelke. There is no one left now
but myself and daughter. Ten years ago,
when she was married, my son-in-la-v
could not buy n house. and they proposed
to 70 into an apartment. | said no, they
could come and live in tho old home. Now
every nook and corner of the place is dear
to them. They were married thcre and
cano back from their honeymoon to sit be-
foro tho Same CRATE fire where they had sat
together in tie days of their courtship.
Their children have all been born in orc
room, and one has died and been carried
out the front door.
"Birth marriage and death" answered
the younge. man. "Onc of our Cam
bridge philosophers has said that house
was not homo until these three things
had happened in it, until tho walls were
saturated with joy and grief. Yes, that
should mako tho place dear to your family.
"But l think you arc mistaken about
: this moving from ono house to another
killing the sentiment for home Most poo
pie love some locality for its association.
We have moved several times for material
reasons, but there arc places in which VIC
havo lived that my wife and l cannot pass
without tender memories.
"Thore is n parlor in down town hotel
whore proposed to her, rustic scat in
Lincoln park where she accepted me. We
often go TO sit on it now.
"There is u certain fat in long row Of
them whose windows seem to shine cspcci-
ally for us when we pass it at night, for
there our child was born. And there is an
other from which beloved brother was
borno to his last home. The little parlor
of the cottage in which VIC live now has
been made glad by the marriage of young
girl friend of my wifo's. 1t would be
swecter if all these things had happened
in one house, but you can't rob me of my
memories by scattering them. ''-Chicago

Cooking Cereals.

Water alone can be used in cooking any
of the cereals, but they arc found to be
much richer and finer favored If half wa

stirring makes them starchy Therefore
they should be invariably cooked in dou-
