TO CURE RHEUMATISM.
kOw to Diet to Lessen the Twingen
of This Painful Amfction.

of This Painful AmfctfOn.
Hearty, frequent, we'll chosen meals
and much bustling about in the open
air are absolute essentials to a cure.
The prime cause Of rheumatism is in
digestion, and, though you may eat
prodigious meals, if your stomach does
not assimilate what is given it you are
quite as poorly nourished as the man
who gets but crust day.
As to what you can and cannot eat
here is the rule: OF meats you must
deny yourself heavy, dark flesh. Un-
der this head is itemized mutton, veni-
son, goose and anything that is cut off
a pig. Devote yourself to chicken, lamb,
game, sweetbreads, brains and the more
delicate fish. when simply cooked and
served without rich sauces. Avoid lob
ster and crabs, but enjoy oysters and
CLAIMS and refuse every fried dish. OF
vegetables never touch tomatoes, cucum-
bers and all salads that have vinegar
dressing. for an inadequate stomach is
busy manufacturing all and more pow
erful acid than the system can endure.
Eat lightly of potatoes, dried beans or
peas and raw onions, but let yourself
indulge freely in green beans and peas,
carrots, turnips and we'll cooked greens.
For all the starch your body needs rice
is the proper source of supply. An
abundance of we'll cooked rice is worth
all the bread and beans and potatoes
put together.

and milk. Beer, claret, port and cham
pagne act as sort of poison on the
rheumatic system, and though whisky
and brandy, gin and rum are not SO in
furious, if taken sparingly and at long
intervals, they are best abjured and wa
ter and milk substituted. In the last
ten years mineral waters have been con-
sumed in enormous quantities by rheu-
matics in the belief that they afforded
especial aid. and they are efficacious,
chiefly, though, from the fact that they
are very pure, and that the use of them
induces patient to imbibe an unusual
quantity Of sweet cleansing liquid.
Any pure water, taken at the rate of
two or three quarts day, has an equal
salutary effect on the system. It must
be pure, however, and filtered if there
are any doubts about it's cleanliness.
This liquid, taken slowly, in small
tumblerfuls, and for the most part be-
tween meals will largely serve the pur.
pose of mineral water. Not more than
a tumblerful is wholesome at each
meal, and it is best not to take the wa
ter just Immediately after eating or be
fore going or on getting into bed.-Chi.

CONCERNING GAME.
How to Cook Birds So as to Bring
Out the Flavor.


Out the Flavor.
Whatever gal1inaceous bird is to be
served the same process of cooking will
apply to it, Quails are often broiled
and served in a braiser, but they are
more often roasted. Grouse of any kind,
partridge, prairie hen or ptarmigan are
more often roasted than cooked in any
other way, and are served with bread
sauce, which is preferred because it
seems to bring out the characteristic
flavor of the birds and has no marked
flavor of it's own. Whenever a cook at
tempts any other sauce with these roast
birds it is usually a disappointment,
because no better sauce can be devised.
See that the birds are we'll picked,
freed from stray shot and drawn care
fully, remembering it is as disastrous
thing to break the gall bladder Of a
wild as of a domestic fowl intended for
food. Lard the breast and legs, or tie
thin layers Of larding pork over the
breast and legs with pack thread or
common twine if more convenient. Sea-
son the bird carefully inside and out
with salt and pepper. If the bird is
larded, not wrapped in pork, rub it in
addition with butter.
In any case dredge on flour and lay
it in dripping pan on its back. 1t is
hardly necessary to say that no game is
ever stuffed, though this question is re-
peatedly asked by people who have
never handled game. Sometimes half
an onion is laid inside each of the
larger birds or slice in the smaller
ones to impart an indistinct flavor, but
this addition is exceptional. Lovers Of
game prefer no other flavor but that of
the fine birds properly seasoned.
Roast dark birds, like prairie chick
ems, from % to 30 minutes; partridges
from 80 to 40. The birds should be the
richest golden brown. They should be
laid on hot platter in the center Of a
bed of bread sauce and sprinkled over
with bread crumbs fried in butter.
To prepare the bread sauce for a pair
of partridges or any other bird of the
larger size allow a third of cup of
dried and sifted bread crumbs. Put
them in a double boiler, with two cups
Of milk and third of an onion sliced.
Let the sauce cook Is minutes. Add
salt and pepper. Rub through puree
sieve and add two liberal tablespoonfuls
Of butter. Stir we'll. Pour little out
on hot platter and lay the birds roast
ed on it. Put the rest of the sauce in q
boat. Scatter about two-thirds of a cup
of COARSE bread crumbs fried brown in
butter over the birds and sauce and add
a garnish of green parsley or water cress,
though the latter seems more appropri-
ate to ducks, snipe and water birds, moi
| upland birds of the field and wood
coveys.
These rich, brown, roasted birds,
with the accompaniment Of a fragrant
dish of wild mushrooms, are especially
delightful after an inspiring wall
through the autumn woods.

other tart apples. Put in the sirup and
cook until clear, turning carefully with

not heavy enough cook down. A stick
of cinnamon adds spicy favor. If
cooked too fast, add little water to
sirup.

The FEAST OF THE BUTTERFLIES.

On the track Of a sunbeam shining through
The blossoming hedge the wind cars few
AS only the trains of the fairies do.

With green leaf plates was the board COM

With drops Of dew for their bread and meat,
And in blue delft cups the honey wine sweet.
And they only staid to dance and cup
Nor cleared the table Of platter and cup,
For the rain W ashed all the dishes up.

 PASSED BY THE SENATE.

WASHINGTON, March S.-To-day's s session of the Senate was largely de- voted to the consideration of the Dis trict of Columbia appropriation bill. After an extended discussion the bill, containing a provision for the reduc- tion of about one-half of the present rates of telephone charges in the dis trict, was passed.
 During the debate on the telephone amendment Berry of Arkansas criti- cized Faulkner of West Virginia, say ing that a man who sent out tons of anti-monopoly literature in 1896 ought not to be supporting monopoly now. Faulkner retorted that he did not be- lieve the Democratic party wanted ac- ton first and investigation afterward.
 German of Maryland advocated awaiting the action of the committee which was Investigating the question. He denounced the charges made by Senator Berry against Faulkner ''as one of the most outrageous attacks in the history of the Senate"
 The bill for the relief of the Metho- dist Episcopal church, South, of Ten nessee, appropriating $2SS,00O, was then passed after a brief debate.
 Morgan of Alabama in supporting the bill said this was a fitting opportunity to pass this bill, when just a short time ago a measure had been sent by the House to the Senate providing for money to be used in anticipation of a war-a war which, should 1t come, would be fought by country now thoroughly united.
 At 4:50, during the discussion of the bill, messape was received from the House conveying to the Senate the bill appropriating $50 1S3, 900 for national de- fense, just passed by the House. The bill was laid before the Senate, and on motion of Allison of Iowa referred to the Committee on Appropriation.
 Allen of Nebraska presented and se- cured the adoption of a resolution cali- ing upon the Attorney General to in- form the Senate how many writs of injunction were granted during 1s97-9 by the United States courts against labor leaders and labor organizations, with certified copies of such writs, af- fidavits and other papers.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, March 8.-The Heralds Washington correspondent telegraphs: Major General Miles said to me to- night: We do not know how much of the new appropriation the President will decide to allot to the War Depart ment. It is not likely that any definite apportionment will be made to each de- partment, but expenditures of different amounts will be authorized according to the necessities of the situation. NO new contracts have as yet been made by the department in view of the new appropriation, but many large ones are under consideration for rapid-fire ana large-caliber sea coast guns, ammunl- tion, etc Some of these contracts VIII be for ordnance ready to hand anC others for supplies to be manufactured. Representatives of the more important ordnance manufacturers were at the department to-day and some important contracts will De awarded in a day or two. The preparations which will be made will in all probability be no great CT than the department would have made long ago if we had had adequate appropriations. The War Department alone could easily and economically spend the entire S50, 1000 900 in putting the country on merely a substantial peace footing. It can be stated that every dollar that the President feels Justified in allotting to the War De partment will be expended within the limit of availa bility of the appropria- finn

COMMENT OF TIFF
 ENGLISH PRESS

LONDON, March 9.-The Morning Post editorially comments on the adoption of the Cannon resolution by the House, and adds: It is an em- phatic way of saying that the Ameri- can statesmen intend to stand by their declarations. People who talk about national honor and responsibility ought to be prepared to put their money down.
 The Daily News says: Speaking generally, the United States never are prepared for war. Yet, 1t cannot be said that their diplomacy has suffered from this palpable and notorious truth. Therefore the assertions of American statesmen that they are voting G10,- COG, ,O00 as a peace measure are hardly convincing explanations of this sudden change from tranquil inactivity to acute vigilance. Our Washington cor respondent has obtained from @ mem Der of the executive Cabinet a positive assurance that the Maine disaster had nothing to do with the vote. This is a most important declaration, looking to the fact that President Mckinley may not always be able to control pub- lie opinion America and Spain would be wise to find some honorable way out of hopeless and discreditable deadlock.
