Otto or Altar of Roses.

Roses being so common, it may be

36 shillings all ounce, or about e28 per
pound, and this to the chemist himself.

Lamps of the London Cabs.

"a thing that struck me about the
hanson cabs in London-this was some
years ago, but guess it's just the same
now," said citizen of this town, twas
the fact that the lamps they carried all
had in the back a red glass about as big
as the end of good sized spool. When
the lamps were lighted at night, they
all showed these two little red disks at
the rear. / don't know why this is So
maybe the lamps are all by one maker
and it's his fancy - but l imagine
there's a reason for it, Anyhow the
effect is picturesque, whether the cabs
are seen singly OF in numbers. In the
Strand, for instance, one may see long
lines of hansoms, all headed one way
and close together. Looking along these
lines from the rear one sees an unbroken
series of red lights diminishing in the
perspective, and one sees also the little
red lights fitting here and there They
don't illuminate, but their color GER
tainly contributes to the variety and the
gayety of the night scene.

well finished aud mounted, many of
them, for instance, carrying fine lamps;
but not many of them show the red
disks. Perhaps there's no reason why
they should, but like to see them. -

Animal Colonists.

During the last few years the demand
for pedigree English cattle for Argen-
tina has been enormous. Shorthorns,
Herefords and Devons have been i'm
ported weekly, and crossbred English
stock now fills the "corrals" of the
great beef and bovril companies of the
Rio de la Plata. In North America this
Anglicizing process has spread to all the
states of the Union. Half bred Herefords
and Shorthorns are taking the place OF
the common cattle of the States on near
ly all the ranches Of the beef producing
districts and the colonizing capacity of
different English breeds is recommend
ing them for special districts Thus the
Devon bulls are purchased for ranches
where the search for pasture and water
needs special activity and endurance,
and red "polled' or hornless Suffolks
are used where cattle are being bred for
transit by rail or ship because the alb
sence of horns is then convenient. Even
tropical Brazil follows the fashion, and
English Jersey cows are seen demurely
walking through the forest paths by the
coffee plantations and English terriers
and pug dogs sit 81 the laps of Brazilian
ladies.
Whether the Jersey cattle will multi
ply on the planters estates time will
show, but the spread of our colonizing
animals, which are now invading stimuli
taneously the plains of Patagonia and
the north Canadian territory, does not
limit its progress to the direction of the
poles. In India the English horse be-
comes a colcnist by second intention, in
the form of the "waler," a sounder and
stronger animal than the majority of
British backneys. His value, as COM
pared with the native breeds of Asia, is
still undetermined, but we must accept
his presence and survival as a fact

The Eamous Paris Garret.

There are few persons interested in
things literary who being in Paris with
in the last 10 or Is years can have fail
ed to hear of the garrett of M. de Con-
court. M. de Goncourt himself would
perhaps have preferred people to say the
garrett of "the brothers Goncourt," al
though, as is we'll known, the institu-
ton was originated and fourished only
after the death of the younger brother.
The "garret" specifically was charm
ing room, half hall, half library, on the
third floor of the little Louis XVI hotel
at Auteuil which M. Edmond de Con
court occupied during the whole latter
part of his life; generically it was the
meeting together of kindred spirits, Of
disciples and admirers and friends OF
the old maitre, the germ of the academy
which it was Edmond de Goncourt S
dream to establish in opposition to the
academy of the 40 immortals, and the
nursery, as it were, where talents were
grown to ripeness for the honor Of adj
mission to that same especial academy.

Soap.


The first distinct mention of soap
now extant is by Pliny, who speaks of
it as an invention of the Gauls; but be
that as it may, the use of soap for wash
ing purposes is of great antiquity. In the
ruins of Pompeii a complete soap man
ufactory was found, and the utensils
and some soap were in a tolerable state
of preservation. The Gallo soap of
eighteen centuries ago was prepared
from fat and wood ashes, particularly
the ashes from beech wood, which wood
was very common III France as well as
in England. Soap is spoken of by writ
ers from the second century, but the
Saracens were the first people TO bring
it into general use as an external cleans
ing medium. The use of soap is thus
described: when examined chemical
ly, the skin is found to be composed of
a substance analogous to dried white Of
egg; in word, albumen. Now, albu-
men is soluble in the alkalies, and
when soap is used for washing the skin
the excess of alkali combines with the
oily fluid with which the skin is natu-
rally believed, removes it in the form Of
an emulsion, and with portion of the
dirt. Another portion of the alzali soft
ems and dissolves the superficial stratum
of the skin, and when this is rubbed off
the rest of the dirt disappears. So that
every washing of the skin with soap re-
moves the old face of the skin and leaves
new one, and were the process repeat
ed to excess the latter would become
attenuated. "-Philadelphia Ledger.

MOST WHOLESOME MEALS.
Mrs. Rorer Tells the Best Foods For DIFF
ferent Times of Day.


In The Ladies' Home journal Mrs. S.
L. Rorer writes at length to show that
Americans eat too much meat, but says
she does not want to be understood as con-
demning meat entirely Individually she
uses "all with the exception of pork and
veal) In moderation and toward the close
of the day. From long experience" she
says, ~ have found that heavy morn
ing's work can best be accomplished on
breakfast composed of a well cooked cereal
and fruit. with perhaps cup Of French
coffee or cereal coffee and piece of well
toasted whole wheat bread. The MONDAY
meal, especially if work is to be continued
in the afternoon, should be composed of u
cream soup with whole wheat bread, an
omelet, some of the lighter forms of nitrog-
cnous food, in the proportion of one-thrd
to wo-thirds carbonaceous food. Fruits,
again, may be- taken, if they agree-a
baked banana, u baked apple, peaches,
pears or any of the very ripe, subacid
fruits.
After the days work is over and one
can take time to rest and thoroughly di-
gest a meal dinner should be served. A
warm beef soup, stimulating rather than
heterogeneous, should form the beginning of
the meal This may be followed by some
light entree, either of fish or vegetable,
then the red meat, either boiled, broiled
or roasted (never fried), with its accom-
panying vegetable. With beef serve pota-
toes or macaroni as the starchy food, with
mutton or chicken rice. A green yegeta-
BILE should be added for its salts, and this
may be onions or young peas, beans,
caulifower or spinach. The salad should
follow, and with it a tiny bit of cheese. with
piece of whole wheat bread, bread stick
or a water biscuit. Then a simple, light
dessert may be served"
