Ran and Canehh tn. Car.

A short man with fat, red face ran
out of the Erie railroad depot at the
foot Of West Twenty third street the
other forenoon and chased a crosstown
car which was midway between Elev-
enth avenue and the ferry. He was a
fast runner and held his hat in his left
hand as he gained on the car. The pas
sengers on the rear platform, in spirit
Of mirth, encouraged him:
"Don't give up. You'll make it.
Make a squirt, old boy This is your
last chance to get car before two min
utes," one of them said.
At Eleventh avenue he caught up,
and, perspiring profusely, sprang upon
the rear platform. He appeared happy,
and when he handed his fare to the con-
ductor he said: "These Blocker street
cars that run down Ninth avenue do
not go often, SO ran to catch this one :"
The conductor rang up the fare, and in
a matter Of fact way answered:

To One He Writes Legib1y.

A well known musician, who writes
a very iliegible hand, once sent an I'M
usually hopeless scrawl to friend. The
latter studied it minute, gave it up in
despair and then sat down and wrote in
reply: 81 shall be most happy to dine
with you tomorrow at 6. Kindest re-
CARDS to your wife, p" etc. In less than
half an hour his friend appeared breath
less at his door.
"There's some misunderstanding,
he said anxiously. 81 wrote you note
asking you if you could play the piano
part of the trio at Browns recital, and
here you've sent me an acceptance of
dinner invitation, but I didn't invite
you to dinner"
"Well," returned the other blandly,
81 didn't suppose you'd really sent me
an invitation to dinner, but l couldn't
read word of your note, and in that
case hereafter mean always to take it
for granted that you're asking me to
dine"

FOOD WASTED IN COOKING.
Life Sustaining Value of Meat and Vego-
tables Lost Through Ignorance.

tables LOST through Ignorance
F., A series of investigations by experts
connected with the United States de-
partment Of agriculture go to show that
there is an immense amount of popular
ignorance in the matter of cooking;
that, while the greater part of the food
of man is prepared for use by cooking,
yet the changes which various foods I'M
dergo during the process and the losses
which are brought about have been but
little studied. Few persons know, for
instance, that In 100 pounds of unoooked
cabbage there are but TX pounds of dry
matter, and of this dry matter from Q d
to pounds are lost in the cooking pot.
Experiments with potatoes showed that
in order to obtain the highest food value
potatoes should not be peeled before
cooking; that when potatoes are peeled
before cooking the least loss Is sustained
by putting them directly into hot water
and boiling as rapidly as possible
Even then the loss Is very considerable.
If potatoes are peeled and soaked in
GOLD water before boiling, the loss Of
nutrients Is very great, being one-fourth
of all the albumenoid matter. In
bushel of potatoes the loss would be
equivalent to a pound Of sirloin steak.
Carrots contain less nitrogen, but rela-
lively more albumenoid nitrogen than
potatoes, and therefore furnish more
matter available for building muscular
tissues. In order to preserve the greatest
amount of nutrients in the cooking Of
carrots, the pieces should be large rather
than small. The boiling should be rapid,
80 that the food value of the vegetable
shall not be impaired, as little water as
possible should be used, and if the mat
ter extracted is made available as food
along with the carrots loss of 20 to
80 per cent or even more Of the total
food value may be prevented. In the
cooking Of cabbage the kind Of water
used has more effect on the loss Of nutri
ents than the temperature of the water
at which the cooking is started. In any
case the loss Is large. The losses which
OCCUR In the cooking of potatoes, carrots
and oabbages vary with the different
methods of boiling followed. -Pittsburg

The French peasant has an independ-
emit means of existence. He owns the
soil he tilla If he employs laborers,
they at least will own house and gar
den and hope to own plot. The Eng
lish villager is either small tradesman
or laborer A garden which he Guilt
Yates but does not own is, as rule, the
extent of his possessions. There are two
classes In an English village, and these
may be subdivided into various religious
scots. There Is only one class in our
French commune-a fact which has a
material bearing upon the social econ
omy of the community. Every inhab-
liant of the commune is proprietor OF
something, and all are bent on saving;
yet, with all their individualism, they
combine for common and mutual inter
est. This is illustrated by the organiza-
ton Of the syndicate for buying at
wholesale prices. They unite for the
cultivation of the soil, lending each
other horses and making up teams.
Every commune has field, which is
common property and where, on pay
ment of a trihing fee, animals Craze.
After the harvest all the fields become
common property, and the gros betail
and the other betail are allowed to roam
at large.-Contemporary Review.

If Oscar Wilde's assumption were to
be taken seriously, that all fiction is "
ing, it might account for much that
afflicts readers, since the lack Of morale
affects the intellect, and what is done
without conscience is apt to be done
badly. OF course all fiction is not lying,
as all killing is not murder, but it is a
sad fact that many writers of novels
and short stories seem to have left their
eonsciences and much of their brains
behind when they go forth to work-as
If these belongings might safely remain
in seclusion, with the dress coat and
the white tie, to be brought out only
for especial occasions. Artemus Ward

Tor the latter half of it, is apt to be the
case with any of us when we are care
less. True, even good Homer sometimes
nodded, but this affords no example for
as who are not Homers- To come to our
tasks otherwise than with all our wits
about us and invite public attention to
the chance "oozings of our brains" is
as if one should issue from his apart
