PARSLEY AFTER ONIONS.

At this season Of the year, when the
digestive system is apt to become over
loaded with rich, greasy or sweet foods,
plenty of onions should be eaten as a
counterbalance. They are good for
the stomach, the complexion, and the
nerves when eaten either boiled or raw,
but, of course, the unpleasant odor left
on the breath after indulgence in them
is barrier to their use to many people
who would otherwise be able to take
advantage of the good there is in them
To overcome all this and give every
one chance an old remedy is suggested
parsley. To entirely destroy the bad
odor of onions eat small sprig of this
pretty green herb either with your
meal or Immediately after it. There
will be nothing in the breath or about
the person at all suggestive of the odor-
ferrous bulb five minutes after the pars-
ley is eaten. Any one can have parsley,
for, if he does not have access to that
convenience known as "soup bunch, ="
it may be readily grown in any warm
sunny window. Soak the seeds twenty
four hours before planting in water
that has the chill removed and, after
planting, water plentifully. The little
green heads will peep up over the earth
in about fifteen days, and when the
plants are we'll grown your window
has pretty ornament in it.

CONVERSATION.

1t was compliment to Nadine de
Maintenon's ability to fill all gaps,
when the servant, during dinner.
whispered to her, "Please, madame,
one anecdote more, for there is no roast
to-day" Emerson, describing the ex-
traordinary conversation of Madame de
Stael, quotes from Sainte Beuve an
illustration of her power of intellectual
irritation, whereby she made men and
women SO talk that they forgot stormy
weather and bad roads.
Napoleon bad exiled Madame de
Stael to Coppet, Switzerland, and many
of her friends had gathered there, some
of whom felt with Madame de Jesse,
who said, "If I were Queen, I should
command Madame de Stael to talk to
me every day"
One day, after making an excursion,
the party returned in two coaches from
Chambery to AK. on the way to Cop.
pet. The first coach had many rueful
accidents to relate-a thunderstorm.
shocking roads, and danger and gloom
to the whole company.
The party in the second coach, ON ar
irving heard this story with surprise.
They knew nothing of thunderstorm,
of mud, of danger; such conversation
between Madame de Stael. Madame
Reoamier and Benjamin Constant and
Sohlegal; they were all in state of
delight The intoxication Of the con-
versstion had made them insensible to
all notice Of weather or rough roads.

THE ALGERIAN DESERT.

We were jogging along gently. through
the sand of the Sahara, bound for the

away behind us stretched the ragged

but a gray blanket of sand waving

Colorado. Remington said it was
Arizona all over again.
People grow silent and sensitive
when they live on the great plains,
and no wonder. To the desert dweller
every star gains in significance, every
object that lifts it's head above the
horizon. The cloud that scuds; the
bird; the track Of an animal; the shape
of a tent; the load Of camel; the
track of a man; bunch of grass; a
sign of water-whateve arrests his
eye on days march speaks to him OF
nature ministering to variety OF bis
needs.
He must have water and grass; he
must have shelter from storms; he
must avoid dangerous gullies; must
watch for signs of wild beasts; must
anticipate the ambush of an enemy
and, with it all, use heaven as his
guide, with it's sun by day and stars by
night. The traveller of the desert
plains is never without occupations
his eyes are sweeping the horizon with

to work to strengthen the weak places.
Machinery won the fight, and the
island was saved.
District 536, about Lindsay slough
and Cache slough, is entirely under
water. All the lands on each side of
the river below Rio Vista are flooded.
Shoeman island is entirely under
water. No work of reclamation of
this fertile land has yet bgun. though
organization for this purpose is in
progress
As Mr. Manson was descending the
river on Saturday, the levee ON the
Yolo side, just above Haycock shoals,
was in great danger, and since his re-
turn to this city Mr.. Manson has re-
ceived information that the river won
and the levee yielded.
From Collinsville north. according to
Mr.. Manson's computation, 100000
acres are submerged, and these between
200, 900 and 500. 600 acres tule lands.
The remainder is fine pasture, rich
grain lands and productive orchards.
No crops will be raised this year on
thousands of acres of the best grain
land in the State. Vegetables will be
scarce in those damp beds lying lower
than the surface of the river, and,
worse than all else beside, thousands
and thousands-perhaps $1,000, per-
haps more-of fruit trees in bearing or
about to bear, must yield to the over
towering influence of water.
Another overflow may be confidently
expected if the SHOWS in the mountains
melt before March. A sudden season
OF warm weather, particularly warm
rain, would send the melted snow in
such quantities that even more land
than is now flooded would be sub
merged. Mr.. Manson believes that the
city Of Sacramento will be in no dan
ger unless the levees ON the Yolo side,
opposite the city, should break and q
strong wind should ruff1e this big lake,
sending waves over the Y-street levee
and washing the earth away.
The fall from Sacramento to the bay
is very slight. Zero on the gauge at
Sacramento is only five feet above tide
water. That zero mark was once low
water at Sacramento but since the
gauge was placed in position the river
has shoaled. Now low-water mark is
about seven feet ON the gauge.
The people along the Sacramento
pray for late cold spring in the
mountains and rainless warm weather
in the valley. With these conditions
they need fear no increase Of the flood.

PROPER PROPORTIONS.

Women who are correctly proper
toned and neither too fat nor too lean
are few in number. 1t may not be
amiss to give some idea of the correct
proportion of the features of the body.
The head should be one-seventh of the
body. The nose, forehead and chin
of equal length. The distance between
the eyes, the length of the eye. The
distance from the inner angle of the
eye to the dividing line of the lips
should measure from two and one
quarter to two and one-half inches.
A woman of feet should weigh 40
pounds.
A woman of 5 feet inch should
weigh 115 pounds.
A woman of feet inches should
weigh 100 pounds.
A woman of feet inches should
weigh l27 pounds.
A woman Of feet inches should
weigh 1874 pounds.
A woman Of feet inches should
weigh 142 pounds.
A woman of feet 6 inches should
weigh 146 pounds.
A woman of feet z inches should
weigh 152 pounds.
A woman of 8 feet s inches should

SAILORS DRINKING HABITS.

As regards their drinking habits, our
sailors have improved much during the
last twenty or twenty-five years. But
in the opinion of Mr.. Consul Dundas,
of Hamburg, they have not made as
much progress as their German and
Scandinavian competitors, who are
superior to them in sobriety. Hence it
is that it is most difficult thing to
ship British seamen at German ports,
the masters preferring foreigners.
The English masters do not deny the
superiority Of their fellow -countrymen,
or the fact that when in difficulty or
danger they would prefer to have a
British crew at their backs, but they
declare that under ordinary circum-
stances they find the Germans and
Scandinavians less troublesome. If,
therefore, British seamen complain that
British vessels are now filled with for
eign seamen, they are warned by Mr..
Dundas that the remedy lies in their
own hands. Nor is it our seamen only
who complain of foreign competition.
There are our traders who are always
lamenting the expansion of German
trade. Mr.. Dundas accounts for this
expansion by the greater pains taken
by German traders to find out the
wants and consult the tastes Of their
customers.

WHEN GIRLS SHOULD MARRY.

The age of marriage should be de-
termined by the understanding Of both
PRINCIPALS as to the nature of their
bond. It must always seem to an
older person who has had experience in
observation of careers made or
marred" by marriage that the mistake
is apt to be an impetuous Judgment
rather than immaturity or the reverse.
One has seen quite as many failures
resulting from the mating of gray hair
with middle age as from the nuptials
of eighteen with two and twenty.
As a general thing, indeed. young
hearts seem to grow more together. to
accept the inevitables Of life more
frankly, to be more lenient with offend
ing for loves sake than do their elders.
Old lovers who have spent their lives
together in their journey through life
have fund of tenderness in their re-
collection of their common youth that
is fountain sealed at which they alone
can refresh themselves. Then in
youth hard knocks are borne SO easily
together. laughter is apt TO come after
tears, hopes shared are sustaining even
in disappointment These thoughts
make an early marriage sacred from the
common gibes about rushing blind
fold into pit" Lying milestone
around ones neck" marrying in
haste to repent at leisure" etc.
But materialism is the governing
power of our age and society. Where
certain indispensables are now lacking
to a home, discomfort and heart buring
are as often see lurking near.-Ladies

SWIMMING A NECESSITY.

1t is hardly possible that a nation so
the desire for physical exercise should
fail to devote an important place in its
educational system to the training Of
the body. Such an error, if committed,
would bring about it's own swift and
certain discredit Notwithstanding
our natural zeal in matter so import
ant, however. there is one chief means
of muscular development which is still
liable to be somewhat overlooked-the
art of swimming. Yet knowledge
of this useful accomplishment is of the
most vital consequence. Had it been
fairly understood by an unfortunate
employee at the Earl's Court Water
Show, who was recently drowned in
the bottom of "chute. his escape
would have been as easy and as natural
as his immersion. Surely no stronger
argument is needed to impress the ne
cessity of teaching every boy and girl
while at school to swim than the mere
statement of this easily preventable dis
aster. Swimming is very readily
learnt, and occupies very little time in
the learning-a fortnight should quite
suffice. There only comes in the way
the Inconvenience of bathing space or
of spare half hour daily or less often
in which to practice it. 1t is high
time that such trivial excuses and OBJ
stacles were set aside or met and over
come. Swimming, moreover, may be
learnt at any age, though doubtless,
like many other similar accomplish
ments, it is more easily acquired when
young. The unfortunate man, though
long past school age. might still have
taught himself. Many of his class are
now devoting themselves to the de-
velopment of this form of self-culture.
There are swimming clubs and chal-
lenge cups for the encouragement of
workmen competitors. and more such
are in process of creation. Every bona
fide institution of this kind requires.
and we trust will obtain, the practical
assistance of public sympathy. 1t is
never too late to mend, and it is never
too late or too early to amend the Gull
pable ignorance of mere muscular
habit. the knowledge Of which would
have saved the lost lives Of innumerable
persons, young and old. As move in
the right direction, we are pleased to
observe that the City Commissioners
of Sewers have determined to take
steps towards the construction of baths
and washhouses for the city. Lancet.

THROUGH A BRICKBAT.

"You wouldn't believe it possible to
blow out candle flame through a
brickbat," remarked celebrated ply
sicist, whose penchant it is to give
scientific research practical bearing.
"It can be done, however, and it illus
trates the all-pervasive qualities of air.
Most rooms are largely ventilated
through their walls, and the brick and
mortar are merely very rudimentary
lungs, which take in and throw out
the atmosphere with little hindrance.
"You may try the experiment your
self. Place candle on the other side
of your brick and use two tunnels,
with the flaring ends on the opposite
sides of the brickbat with the small
end of one in line with your mouth
and the small end of the other trained
on the candle flame. The least breath
will make the light flicker, and a
hearty expiration will extinguish 1T
altogether. Try it and see"

SOME USES FOR CHEESE.

Cheese is so much in demand this
winter that it is nice to know how 10
keep a variety in the house at small
expense. Buy an Edam and a large
pineapple, either of which will keep
for a long time, if necessary. Then
buy a pot of Roquefort and tumbler
of clubhouse cheese, keeping these in
cool, dry place until needed. A dinner
menu may be completed by water
crackers and Roquefort for dessert. A
delicious dainty for an afternoon tea Is
the popular macafoon spread with
thinly sliced sage cheese as sandwich.
Cheese crusts are nice for an impromptu
company luncheon. They are made
from half slices of stale bread, after
trimming off the hard crust. Upon
these oblongs of bread put table,
spoonful of grated cheese and brown
slightly in the oven. These may be
served hot or cold. Good English
cheese is used for Welsh rarebit.
There are many who like bit of cream
cheese with French biscuit for break
fast. Neufchatel and water crackers
generally follow the pudding course OF
an elaborate home dinner menu.
Cheese of some description is an i'm
portant item of the Dutch supper, which
is SO common this winter after the
theatre or at card parties Indeed, the
matron who likes to be able to offer hel
casual afternoon or evening visitor
some simple refreshment pays as much
attention this season to her supply OF
cheese as to that of crackers or tea.
