A New Article for the Kitchen.

A new article of kitchen furniture
that commends itself to every house
keeper who realizes the saving of
time and strength in having things
''handy" is combination -four chest
and kitchen table. The bin holds
sixty pounds of flour, has two meal or
sugar bins, bread board, a meat
board, and two large drawers, one
partitioned off for spices, etc. The
bins swing on the lower brace, and
open and shut without a particle of
friction. They are made of wood,
which, it is claimed, prevents the
-four from sweating as it does in bins
that are made of metal. It is west
ern man who has invented this boon
to women, and chorus of feminine
thanks accompanied by good financial
returns will doubtless prove the sue
cess OF his invention.

The Temperance Soldier.

What makes the soldier? some one asks,
Is he merely lad taken out of the street.
and decked out in a gaudy uniform, in
whose hands musket has been placedi Z
No, but he is a man generated by fiercei
processes. The soldier spirit is worried
Into him by long marches, pressed into
him by long watches on the picket-line,
soaked into him by the dews of the night,
washed into him by the drenching rain,
baked into him by the burning hospital
iever, starved into him by the short ration,
blown into him by shot and shell, and
thrust into him by the sabre slash and the
bayonet wound, Out of all this is born
the soldier. So in our temperance army.
we love our work because we have stood
behind the ramparts and In the deadly
breach, and have fought for our principles;
because we have endured labor and suf-
fered contumely, and welcomed sacrifice
that our cause may triumph; and the re-
wards OF moral victories make our hearts
leap with greater Joy than any triumph
on field OF glory, because victories over
the monster vice Of intemperance are
thousand-fold more vital to mankind -

Eggs Hard Boiled.

The class received valuable sug-
gestion when Miss Limerick said eggs
should never be allowed to boil. The
hardest boiled egg is just as digesti-
BILE, she said, as the nethat is cooked
soft, provided it is properly prepared.
Very frequently when eggs do not
agree with peraon it is because they
have been boiled. A poached egg
should be broken into water that is at
boiling point and then set back on the
range where it will not boil again.
Eggs cooked in the shell are better
when put in water that has been heat
ed 10 160 or 1S0 degrees, considerably
less than boiling point, and kept at
that heat until they are cooked suffi-
GENTLY. A hard-boiled egg usually
requires an hour to COOK it properly.
The lesson was practical and thor
oughly interesting. 1t was full of
suggestions and hints that cannot but
prove valuable to those who are re-
quired to prepare food for the sick
room and there were a number of
helpful points for the woman who
cooks for well persons. Buffalo Ex>

Novel Way of Preserving Flowers.

A novel way of preserving flowers,
leaves and vines has been discovered
by some ingenious English girls. The
specimens are carefully dried up to a
certain point, and are then laid upon
sheets of soft paper something like
our blotting paper. This is moist
ened, sheet of waxed paper placed
over it, then another sheet of soft pa
per, layer of leaves and flowers, a
sheet of wax paper, and so on. The
whole series is then placed under a
board, on which is put very heavy
weight, or which is placed in power
full press. The pressure crushes the
flowers into the soft, wet paper, and
as this dries it sets, fastening the
specimen very securely.

Real Nature of Alcohol.

Alcoholic poison first affects the lobes oil
the brain, and the other nerve centres OF
the cerebro-spina! system are successfully
brought under the influence OF the poison
until, in the state commonly known as
dead drunk" the only ones that are not
paralvzed are those known as the auto.
matte centres, which regulate and keep
up breathing and the circulation. Enough
alcohol can be taken, however, to para.
lyze these, in which case the deep sleep
of drunkenness becomes stupor which
passes into death. There is parallel be-
tween apoplexy and intoxication. To be
drunk is simply apoplectic. Such is the
action of alcohol upon the nervous system,
md it's action upon the other parts of the
body is no less injurious.
When an alcoholic drink is taken into
the stomach, the alcohol Is rapidly alb
sorbed through the coats OF that organ,
passes directly into the circulation, and is
carried with the blood to every part of the
system. That which goes to the brain pro-
duces successfully the symptoms emu
merated above; that carried to the lungs
begins to be expelled with the expired
breath of these organs. Experiments have
been tried in which wine was admins
tered in capsules, SO that not one particle
touched the interior of the mouth or
throat; yet In two or three minutes the
odor OF alcohol was noted on the breath,
showing that in that short time it had
was being expelled by the lungs.
The blood loaded with alcohol, in pass
ing through the liver, sets up an irritation
which frequently causes an incurable dis
ease to that very important organ-cirr-
hosts OF the liver, better known as 'hobnail
liver" The kidneys are stimulated and
irritated, and long indulgence in the
drinking habit leads to incurable diseases
in them. The skin is also affected. and
does its part in expelling the alcohol from
the system. In point of fact all the excre-
tory organs set Mt work as soon as the al
cohol gets into the system, in the endeayor
to rid the body Of The poison. The liver,
kidneys, lungs and skin are all oyer-stim-
ulated in this effort.
We hope we may have made it clear in
this brief statement of the action of alcohol
that it is absolutely and entirely poison.
1t Isl no sense n food. 1t Injuries the brain,
the nerves, over-excites the heart, irritates
the stomach. liver and kidneys; never
does any good, but always harm.
There is vast amount of ignorance
among the people as to the real nature of
alcohol. 1t is the fewer number OF our
people, even at this date, who are con.
vinced that alcohol Is poison; and this
Ignorance OF the masses is one of the bull
warks Of the traffic. We need more educa.
tion, especially in the family, in the
church, and In the common school, as to
the real nature and effect OF this potent
poison. When the masses of the people
understand its true nature, a tremendous
impulse will be given to the effort to pul.
verize the rum power.-Toledo Blade.

No organ can properly perform its func-

When the stomach is robbed Of the nourish-
