POINTS ON FOOD.

Cheese is good example of concen-
trated food value, being one-third pro-
tein, one-third fat and one-third water.
Wheat -four, eornmeal and oatmeal
when compared show thai oatmeal has
most protein and fat than the others.
1t Is bone and muscle producing food.
A quart of milk, three-quarters of a
pound of moderately fat beef and five
ounces of wheat -four all contain about
the same amount Of nutritive material
protein, fat, carbohydrate and min
era1 matter.
Oysters contain very little nutriment.
Oysters in shell are four-fifths waste,
the one-fifth remaining being water,
with an almost imperoeptible amount
Of protein. Even oysters without the
shell show so little food value that one
wonders why we eat them at all They
are easily digested, however, and add
piquancy to a meal.
Potatoes are way down In the list o.
good foods. for they are mostly water
and there is very little nutriment In
pounds of potatoes to equal one pound
Of rice so far as food value goes. The
turnip alone outranks the potato in the
amount Of water it contains-it is nine
tenths water. The great trouble with
the potato is It's excess of starch, neces
stating the eating of great quantitie!
| to produce nutritive results.

Sw EARRING.

II we were Board of Directors OF q
public school we would not employ q
teacher who could not or would not keep
up the work of composition writing in
school. 1t stands right at the head of
lhe processes calculated to unfold the
souls powers. 1t is the method for pro
noting self expression which is the erd
of all education. Composition is one of
the ways for materializipg the thoughts
and facts one gets in his studies, for con.
hrming them in the mind, and for max
ing them part Of ones mental constitu-
tion. For some reason teachers are dis
inclined to teach composition, except as
some little light variety. This is because
they don't appreciate it's importance, or
because there is too much work in right
ly teaching it. Boards of Directors
should know their business about the
necessities Of education and see that the
teachers adopt those methods and pro-
cesses that are calculated to build up the
mental and moral strength Of the youth.

Here's Your Political Speech.

At Chicago, the other day, Chauncey
Dsptw made a political speech. We
copy portion of it, which makes COM
plete speech in iteelf If a man seeks
light as to how to vote. this little speech
sheds sufi lent to illumine the pathway
clear to the ballot Ebox. Read it with
thought for it bears thought:
Certainly what has transpired since
November, 1896, sstonishes even the
American people. l. does more; it as
tonishes even the most imaginative and
prophetic of them. 1t was not in the
power of the human mind to conceive
the wonderful and beneficial changes
which would happen in twenty four
months. From industrial paralysis has
come industrial activity; from labor
vainly seeking employment has come
employment seeking labor, from capital
hidden and locked up and unremunera-
tive and worse than useless has come
capital fl owing into channels which add
to the strength, prosperity and wealth of
the whole country; from gloom We are in
the light. and from despair we are happy.
But this is not all. From an isolated
Nation, living within itself, seeking only
the development of its own resources
and unknown in the politics and policies
of other countries, we have become by a
series of victories which eurpass the
achievements on sea or on land of any
period, a great world power.

Learned His Lesson Well.

FIom Chicago Times-Herald.
Don R ,driQutz Mercedes, a native of
Madrid, now knows how the Americans
defeated the Spanish in the late war with
Spain. Mercedes arrived in Chicago
recently, coming directly from the
KIondike. He did not know tfat war
had been declared between the two
countries until he reached San Francieco.
There he learned that his brother, an
officer on the Crstobai Colon, hsd been
killed when Cervers's fl set was destroy
ed off Santiago. But particulars were
lacking. He could not read English we'll,
and could not obtain the details. When
he reached Chicago he asked his friend,
DR.. D 40. North Side physician, to ex-
plain the N after.
"Come TO Tattersall's," said doctor.
"The story is fully told in the naval
spectacle which is being given there"

George Newsmith, naval reserve who
was on the veritable battleship, stepped
forward.
"You killed my brother at Santiago" I"
uttered the Spaniard.
"Shouldn't wonder. We killed lots of
dagos there"
"Then you must fight" said Mercedes,
as he made pass at the sailor.
The blow never landed, however, and
the Spaniard was stretched on the floor
by the American tar's fist.
Lieutenant Leps of the German navy
prevented the fight from proceeding.

muttered Mercedes, as he left the hall.

A VISIT TO VESUV U.s.

According to the scientists, the ordi-
nary conception of a volcano as
burning mountain is almost the exact
reverse of the fact. Properly speaking,
volcano is not mountain, but a
hole in the ground. The mountain is
made by the volcano, and is nothing
but the lava it throws up, which
streams down and cools in a conical
shape with hole in the center. Then
a volcano does not burn. 1t throws
up quantities of stuff in red-hot, or
monty called the smoke of volcano
is really cloud of steam.
The view down the crater of Vesu-
vius, even when it is qufescent, is very
impressive. One feels as if one were
looking into the very mouth of hell
After an eruption, when the mountain
! has its top blown away, the crater is
huge bowl, steep on the inside, and
perhaps 500 feet deep. This bowl is
filled with clouds of steam, lit on the
| underside with a 1urid red glow. The
| whole of the bottom of the bowl is
| invisible, owing to the surging cloud
| of steam. The mountain roars contin-
ually with the noise like the roar of
| the ocean when it bellows into deep
caves on a rock bound coast, and ever
and anon a small explosion occurs,
and sends showers Of red-hot stones
straight up into the air. These gener-
ally rise to about the level of the top,
| and then turn and fall back again into
| the roaring abyss whence they came.
The whole of the upper slopes of the
cone of the mountain are covered with
cracks, and from the huge assures
comes the same roaring sound; steam,
smelling strongly of sulphur, issues
from them and the face of the noun
| tain is covered with patches of bright
yellow sulphur The ground is quite
hot under foot and the air is oppres-
sive, warm, and sitting with the fumes
of sulphur. At the foot of the noun
tain, which is over three thousand feet
high, lies the lovely blue bay of Naples,
one of the most beautiful spots in the
world Between the mountain and the
bay are the buried cities of Pompeii
and Herculaneum, both overwhelmed
/ in A. D. 70, the one by hot ashes, the
other by molten lava. Up till that date
it was not known that Vesuvius was a
volcano, and there was an active vol
cano in the neighboring island Of Is
CHA. When Vesuvius broke out, Ischia
became extinct, showing that tho two
volcanoes are connected under tie sea.
