Some Common Mistakes.

It is mistake to work when you are
not in fit condition to do so; to take
off heavy underclothing because you
have become overheated; to think that
the more person eats the healthier
and stronger he will become; to believe
that children can do as much work as
grown people, and that the more they
study the more they learn; to 60 to bed
late at night and rise at daybreak and
imagine that every hour taken from
sleep is an hour gained; to imagine
that if little work or exercise is good,
violent or prolonged exercise is better;
to conclude that the smallest room in
the house is large enough to sleep in

Washington, April 16.-It was just 10
o'clock this morning when the Senate was
called to order to resume the debate on
the Cnban question. The resolutions re.

the course to be pursued by the United
States toward Spain were strong Tor I'M

The order to move the regular army to
Southern ports was taken as an indication
OF the Presidents intentions to put into
force the will of Congress without delay,
and the desire seemed to be general to
bring the question to close Us soon as
possible.
The opinion was that the Senate will be
able to reach vote early this evening
The Foraker resolution Will Dc accepted
with the amendment Of Senator Turpie

Cuban Republic-that Is, acknowledging
that Republican form Of government al

THE WORLDS FIGHTERS.

Russia has spent over G e51,000,0O0
sterling in naval armament during the
past seven years.
In time of war France can put $40
out of every 1900 of her population in
the field; Germany, $40; Russia, 21O.
Soldiers, officers and privates alike,
are forbidden to join any cycling club
by the Austro-Hungarian minister Of
war.
The regular army of Great Britain
has 200 Jews in its ranks ready to fight,
there are 60 in the militia. and 500 in
volunteers. The Royal navy and ma
rines employ 40 men Of the Jewish
faith.
England has 16 battleships, 12
cost defense ships, nine armored
cruisers, two protected cruisers, and
four unprotected cruisers. all armed
with obsolete muZZle-loading guns,
whereas France and Russia have no
warships armed with such guns.
Admiral Dewey's expenditures in
powder and shell to sink the Spanish
feet at Manila, according to his own
official report, was about $4,000. The
cost for the same item in disposing Of
Admiral Cervera's feet off Santiago
is between 100000 and 100000. Ex-
perts regard the figures in both cases
as surprisingly low.

POISONOUS GARDEN PLANTS.

The berries of the yew have killed
many persons.
There is enough opium in red pop
pies to do mischief, and the autumn
crocus, if the blossoms are chewcd,
causes illness.
The lobelias are all dangerous, their
juice, if swallowed, producing giddi-
ness, with pains in the head.
Lady's slipper poisons in the same
manner as does poison ivy. The bulbs
seem to be the most harmful. Lilies
Of the valley are also as much so.
The leaves and flowers Of the olean-
der are deadly, and the bark Of the
catalpa tree is very mischievCus; the
water Gropwort. when not in flower,
resembles celery and is virulent.
Among the garden plants commonly
in vogue which possess poisonous ma
ture botanists mention the flowers Of
the jonquil, white hyacinth and snow
drop, the narcissus being also partic-
ularly deadly, so much so, indeed, that
to chew a small scrap Of one of the
bulbs may result fatally, while the
juice of the leaves is an emetic.
The Winslow mail., 1898-12-17
HOW DISHES WERE NAMED.

The sandwich is called for the earl Of
Sandwich.
Mnlligatawney is from an East Indian
word meaning pepper water.
Waffle is from wafel, a word of Teu-
tonic origin, meaning honeycombe.
Hominy is from anhuminea, the
North American word for parched corn.
Gooseberry fool is a corruption OF
gooseberry foule, milled or pressed
gooseberries.
Forcemeat is a corruption of farce
meat, from the French farce, stuffing,
i. e., meat for stufing.
Succotash is a dish borrowed from
the Narragansett Indians and called by
them m'sickquatash.
Blancmange means literally white
food; hence chocolate blancmange is
something of a misnomer.
Charlotte is corruption of the old
English word charlyt, which means
dish of custard, and charlotte russo is
Russian charlotte.
Macaroni is taken from Greek deri-
vation, which means the blessed dead,
in allusion to the ancient custom CT
eating it at feasts for the dead.
Gumbo is simply okra soup, gumbo
being the name by which okra is often
known in the south. Chicken gumbo
is soup of ollra and chicken.
