BREAKFAST CEREALS.

Cereals and fruits should form tho

Ladies' Homo Journal. FThey will sup

Of the body and strengthen the brain in
its nervous activity. Whole or steel cut
oats and whole wheat, from which our
nineteenth century bread should be
made, contain the essential clements for
tho perfect nourishmGnt of the human
body. The great objection to cereal
foods is their difficulty Of digestion, not
from any fault of the foods, but, first,
from lack Of time in cooking aad, second,
from lack OF proper mastiCation, Raw
starcheG are indigestiblc. The first step,
then, toward the digestion of starches
is over the fire. Zach little cell must bo
ruptured, and for this long and careful
cooking is required. The second step to
the digestion Of starches is in tho
mouth. They arc there converted from
the insolublo starch to soluble sugar.

mastication, they miss this digestion,

THEY DON'T LIKE PAPER.
Savages at First Contact Regard the Fabric
With Suspicion.

Savages at First Contact Regard the Fabric
With Suspicion.
When savage people first come in con-
tact with the whites none of the Won
ders that they see is regarded with moro
suspicion than large sheets of paper.
The nati>r- is apt to regard paper as .
sort of cl3gh, and the fact that it tears
easily and is worthless for most Of the
purposes to which cloth is put convinces
him that it is fraud.
One or two Kongo travellers told Of
the disgust with which tho natives at
first regarded paper. The Kongo tribes,
by the way, are on the lookout for
sharpers, and it is exceedingly hard
work for anybody to sell them bad
quality of cutlery or cloth. Savages
soon find, however, that paper is not in
tended to serve the purposes of cloth.
Then they cease to look upon it as {:
fraud, but they do not think it ranks
high among white man S manufactures,
and they have little use for it.
Some time ago we'll known explorer
was travelling in the interior of Queens
land, Australia, where he met many
natives who had never seen white man
before.
One day crowd of natives was in
the white man S camp carefully inspect
ing the explorer and his baggage when
newspaper happened to drop out Of
his pocket.
The natives unfolded and spread it
out Oh the ground They decided that it
must be an article of wearing apparel,
and one Of them tried it ON. He wrap
ped it round his shoulders like shawl
and sat down Gu the ground arranging
his covering this way and that and
watching the faces OF the crowd to SEQ
what they thought Of his elegant gar
ment, covered as it was with many
thousands of curious marks.
Presently, however, an accident hap
pened. While the savage was roarrang-
ing his shawl and trying to bring the
corners together III front of him the gar
ment began to tear at the nape of his
neck. a howl from the crowd called at
tention to the disaster. The blanket or
whatever it was, was evidently made Of
tho poorest sort of material.
The savage took his covering off, en-
amiued tho mischief he had wrought,
made the tear little longer and then
with his finger poked hole through
the paper
That settled the fact that the article
was worthless The newspaper sudden
ly lost all interest for tho natives, who
turned their attention to less destructi-

The Breeders Gazette says: The
strong demand for "bacon pigs" has
made prominent the fact that Canad-
ian curers are Obliged to pay a
premium Of from 81 to $3.50 per l00
lbs. for pigs weighing from 100 to 20o
lbs. that have been fed on shorts, rye,
barley and peas, and have grown the
desired "streak OF lean" If our
packers on this side the line will offer
such argument" as that it will not
require the disquistions of journalists
to induce farmers to grow more lean
and less fat in hogs.

FRUITS FOR THE TABLE.
-. Rorer Tells the Best Kinds--How
They Should BE Served.

-. Korer Tells the Best hinds--How
They Should BE Served.
Fruits are more appetiZing and, per-
haps, more easily digested if taken in
the early part of the whether or
not before the breakfast must ba de-
terInined by the eater.
Grapes, oranges and shaddocks may
be served before the cereal. Baked APP
pies, peaches, baked bananas, figs, dates,
prunes or stewed fruits should be served
at the close of tho breakfast
Raisins, sultanas, dried figs and
prunes should be soaked thoroughly, SO
that they may take up the Same amount
Of water with which they have parted
in the process Of drying, and should
then be heated just enough to soften the
skins.
Tho subacid fruits, such as apples,
figs, dates, peaches persimmons, pears,
prunes and apricots, are, perhaps, tho
best Of the winter fruits and may DO
used TO good advantage with animal
foods.
Acid fruits must at all times be used
most sparingly, especially by persons
inclined to rheumatic troubles. The
continued use Of IN orange or shaddock
before breakfast will diminish tho pow
er Of stomach digestion, for which roa
son they should be served with cereals
or such foods as require only intestinal
digestion.
The papaw and pineapple belong to Il
class alone. They contain Il vegetable
pepsin which assists in the digestion of
the heterogeneous principles. These fruits,
then, may be served with meats and
will aid in their digestion. When served
with bread and butter they do not form
so good Il diet. They are more digestible
raw than cooked, as tho heat destroys
tho activity of tho formonts.
Apples as u rulo are moro easily di.
gested cooked than raw, although raw
apples arc moro palatable.
Tho fashion Of adding sugar to fruits
should be avoided, rs they have already
boon endowed with u sufficient amount
of sugar, and as all the starch and cere-
ais arc converted into sugar any further
amount would be stored in the system,
to it's dctriihcnt II our bilious friends
would throw aside their liver pills and
with them sugar, they might be FREQ
from much discomfort. Mrs. S. r.

ENCOURAGEMENT.

Mrs Hamminfry's daughter was prac-
ticing very industriously when the good
woman came into the music room and sat
herself down complacently.
Don't let me interrupt you, Lorinda,
she said II like to hear the dulcet
strains of mahogany piano, and 1
thought I'd steal In here and while away
few minutes. You mustn't let me dis
turb your practice"
She nodded in time to the piece the per-
former was trying to learn. She was
wont to notice that while she couldn't
measure exactly how high or how low she
ought to go in singing tune, owing to
lack of practice, she had always pos
sessed a splendid ear for time. Presently
there was a hitch in the rhythm. The
heavy beats in the music did not come in
the right place and her effort to catch the
accent caused her head to move somewhat
erratically.
"Lorinda," she exclaimed, what's the
matter? Are you playing triclLs2'
NO" was the answer, This part of
the piece is rather hard. You see. there
are SO many grace notes in it.
We'll keep right at It dear, and don't
get discouraged, was the gentle, mother
~ reply. Get that part even If you have
to neglect the rest. TIN do you good
Sometimes I as lief see person play
graceful as to hear her play correct. -
