The Beef-Tea Delusfon.

1t is popularity supposed by all classes
of persons, and the idea has usually
been sustained by medical opinion, that
beef tea Is highly nutritive substance,
and a fitting food for the sick; but
science has satisfactorily demonstrated
that this is one Of the many popular
errors of the age. The following ex-
tract from Bunge's Chemistry Is inter-
esting, as showing how utterly delusive
existing opinions on this subject are
I'VE must guard against supposing that
meat-bouillon possesses strengthening
and nourishing influence. In regard to
this, the most delusive notions are en-
tertained, not only by the general pub
lie but also by medical pen. Until quite
recently the opinion was held that bouil-
lon contained the most nutritive part
Of meat. There was a confused idea
that minute quantity of material
a plateful of bouillon made from q tea
spoonful Of meat eXtract-could yield
an effectual source of nourishment; that
the extractives Of meat were synony-
nous with concentrated food. Let US
inquire what substances could render
bouillon nutritious. The only article
which meat yields to boiling water is
gelatin. 1t Is we'll known that albumen
is coagulated in boiling, the glycogen Of
meat Is rapidly converted into sugar,
and this again into Tactic acid. The
quantity Of gelatin Is, moreover, very
snail; for watery solution, which con-
tains only one per cent Of gelatin, CO.
agulates on cooling. Such coagulation
may occur in very strong soups and
gravies, but never In bouillon. Bouil-
Ion, therefore, contains much less than
one per cent of gelatin" In view Of
these facts, 1t Is important that too
much dependence be not placed on beef
extracts and bouillon, as patients kept
on this diet may lack the proper nour-
ishment to enable them to resist the
ravages of disease.

and violently made his way inside. He
was manager of a big manufacturing
firm in Fifth avenue, and was angry all
the way through because the compost
tor had set up "mangr," the abbrevia-
ton for manager, as nurse" 1t was
tool late to correct the error, and there
Is one manager who for a whole year
will be presented to the public as a
nurse. AS the visitor flung himself out
Of the Office he calculated:

Comment on the Royal.

The Due de Nemours represents the
orthodox Catholic view of the Aosta
wedding. He did not go, and was not
represented. Many difficulties were
turned by the ceremony taking place
In a little chapel in an English country
town. The pope could not forbid the
Due d'Aosta, who Is not under a per-
sonal accommodation, from partici-
pating In sacrament, but the duke is
under a ban as a member Of the italian
royal family. His Holiness, therefore,
could and would have made himself dis
agreeable had the illustrious pair been
married In a Catholic country. The
French who went to England for the
wedding belonged either to the Orleanist
set or to the poor provincial nobility.
The bride impressed all as beautiful,
but much too tall. The length Of her
arms from shoulder to elbow and Of her
hands and feet was thought startling.
Her face was criticized as too long in
the cheek, and as showing in the lower
part a tendency to the pear shape of
Louis Philippe. Nor was the stiff style
of her couture to Partisan taste. The
daughters Of the Duke and Duchess Of
Saxe-Coburg won the admiration of for.
eigners. English royalty struck wan
derers unused to 1t as portly and solid.
and italian royalty as the contrary

Rot Among Early Tomatoes.

In sections of the country where
| early tomatoes are grown as valuable
crops the chief trouble Is the rot, and
very frequently serious loss is occa-
\ stoned.
| From my own experience ] have
found that tomato plants set out in new
! soil where a tomato crop was never
before raised are rarely, If ever, at
tackled by this disease. Sometimes II
the tomato plants are obtained from
growers where the rot is prevalent the
crop on the new land is injured. The
early tomatoes begin to rot on one side
| just before ripening, and this spoils
| their sale.
One season will be sufficient to in
feet the soil, and the second crop will
| be entirely spoiled. The only safe way
Is not to plant the crop twice in sue
cession on the same field. 1t is even
better to let two seasons pass before
planting again on the old patch. On
| light soils the rot is more prevalent
and stays longer than upon heavy clay
| lands. The latter seems to be less af.'
fected by the rot anyway.
1t is very discouraging to amateurs
or beginners to have the early crop of
tomatoes ruined, for this is the most
profitable. A great many have become
| discouraged in the undertaking. Rene
! dies for the rot have been recommend
ed to them, and have seen neighbors
use various mixtures without avail. A
very similar experience has been en-
eountered with the potato rot. The only
simple and absolutely sure system is to
| select a new field far from the old one
for the next crop Of potatoes, and then
after two or three seasons the old field
may be planted again. The germs Of
the rot seem to live in the soil through
out the severest winter, but after a
year or two they die out, probably
through the lack of sufficient nourish-
ment. If we can starve the germs in
this way 1t should be done systematf
cally on every farm. It does not fol-
low that the land must remain idle.
The germs of the rot that will attack
the tomatoes and potatoes will have no
effect at all upon the corn and wheat
plants. Nearly all Of our other vege-
tables can be planted on the tomato
field where the rot has despoiled a
crop.
The question Of how long 1t takes to
efface the signs Of infection has not
yet been decided. I have seen it attack
an early crop after two years of rest.
and it may be that three years will not
entirely suffice. In purchasing plants
one cannot be too particular about in
curing into tho nature Of the ground
they were raissd in. A great many
times the cror is ruined because the
plants were raised In the same soil that
tomatoes had been cultivated in for
half dozen seasons. II the rot is a
nuisance, try raising your own plants.
Select new ground, and start them
there, and fill the forcing box with soil
obtained far from the old tomato patch.
Little trouble will then be experienced
from the tomato rot.-James Cunning

A Brave Little Woman.

1t was a Chevy Chase car. She was
tall and broad in proportion. Her gown
was very tight and her diamond ear
rings very large and sparkling. She
sat near the end Of the seat, and she
might have moved along to make room
for somebody else, but she didn't. She
simply sat and stared haughtily ahead.
There was tiny little mouse-colored
woman standing, and the sight of the
bediamoned one made her nervous.
You could see her very toes twitch. AT
length she leaned over with great po-
likeness.
Pardon me, madam" she said, "but
have you paid for two seats?"
The stout woman was speechless.
"Oh," went on the mouse-colored one,
81 thought you had. Please move along
then"
And the other moved, but feel sure
she had apoplexy when she got out OF
the car. You could see it coming on
