SALADS AS A DAILY DIET,
Most Wholesome Food, and Should
Re Eaten Every Day,

Most Wholesome Food, and Should
Be Eaten Every Day.
"The beauty and wholesOmeness OF
the salad should commend it to every
American housekeeper," writes Mrs
s. T. Rorer in her cooking lesson on
THE Making Of Salads in the La
dies Home Journal. Il do not refer to
those highly-seasoned combinations OF
hard boiled eggs and mustard, but to
dainty dinner or luncheon salads, made
with dressing Of olive oil, few drops
of lemon juice, and light seasoning OF
salt, garlic and pepper.
"The salts necessary for the well-De'
ing Of our blood are beautifully given
in these green vegetables; then, too, II
is a pleasant way Of taking fatty food
All machinery must be we'll oiled to
prevent friction, and the wonderful hu'
man engine IS not an exception to the
rule. Look carefully to 1t that you take
sufficient fatty food.
THE Americans do not use enough
oil to keep them in perfect health
While butter Is served In some families
three times a day, and Is better than
no fat, its composition is rather against
it as compared to a sweet vegetable
oil. Fats we'll digested are the saliva
ton of consumptiyes or those suffering
from any form Of tuberculosis. Fol
these reasons a simple salad composed
Of any green vegetable and Frencl
dressing, should be seen ON every well
regulated table 965 times a year. ThoS'
who live out Of town can obtain iron
the fields sorrel, long docks, dandelions
and lambs quarters, for the cost o
picking. Where desserts are not used
and I wish, for health's sake, the,
might be abolished, salad with a b
of cheese and bread, or water, 0
cracker, with small cup Of coffee
NAV close the meal. Where a deSsel
Is used the salad, cheese and waite
are served just before it, to prick u
the appetite that it may enjoy nor

salad is usually served with the gam

Mrs. Sarah Josepha Hale, Boston

Marco Polo Tells of Charmers Who
Keep Away Sharks.
When you leave the island Of seilan
and sail westward about sixty miles,
YOU come to the great province OF Maa-
bar, which Ia styled India the Greater;
II Is the best of all the Indies, and Is on
the mainland.
In this province there are Eve kings,
who are own brothers. will tell you
about each In turn. The province Is
the finest and noblest in the world.
At this end of the province reigns one
of those FIVE royal brothers, who is a
crowned king and his name is Sender
Bandi Davar. In this kingdom they
find fine and great pearls; and will
tell how they are got.
The sea here forms a gulf between
the Island of seilan and the mainland.
And all round this gulf the water has
a depth Of no more than ten or twelve
fathoms, and in some places no more
than two fathoms. The pearldshers
take their vessels, great and small, and
proceed into this gulf, where they stop
from the beginning of April till the
middle of May. They 90 first to place
callef Bettelar, and then 60 sixty miles
into the gulf. Here they cast ancnor
and shift from their large vessels INTO
small boats. The merchants divide In
to various companies, and each OF these
must engage number OF men on
wages, hiring them for April and hall
of May. OF all the produce they have
first to pay the king, as his royalty, tne
tenth part. And they must also pa!
those men who charm the great fishes
to prevent them from injuring th'
divers while engaged In seeking pearls
under water, one-twentieth part OF al
that they may take.
These Hsh-charmers are termed
Abraiaman; and their charm hold
: good for that day only, for at nlgh
e they dissolve the charms so that tn
e fishes can work mischief at their vii
d These Abraiaman know also how
/. charm beasts and birds and every li'
n ing thing. When the men have got int
!. the small boats they jump into tn
y water and dive to the bottom, Whlc
J. may be at depth Of from four
e twelve fathoms, and there they RENAL
as long as they are able. And thel
they find the shells that contain tt
pearls, and these they put into nj
bag tied round the waist, and moul
IL up to the surface with them, and the
III dive anew. When they can't hold the
breath any longer they come up agal
ID and, after a little, down they 60 on
ut more, and SO they go on all day. The
I, shells are in shape like oysters or sc
lie hoods. And In these shells are four
n pearls, great and small, Of every KIN
lis sticking in the flesh Of the shellfish.
y, In this manner pearls are fshed
&c great quantities, for thence IN 10

The Great Bombardment.

Some meet the earth In Its onward

perhaps ricocheting from 1t again into

has been estimated that every twenty

COURAGE OF ANIMALS,

Courage among animals seems to
bear no relation to size, for many OF
the smallest creatures are brave to an
astonishing degree. The weasels are
the most courageous OF any. Unfor-
tunately they are also the most blood
thirsty, but while their victims are
usually small animals, there are rec
ords Of their having attacked man OF
some large animal tiercely and without
the slightest hesitation.

JOHN YOUNG BROWN furnished the
republicans most OF their ammunition
for their fight against Gen. Hardin in
1895. He is bitter personal enemy of
the general and would do any thing he
could against him but stand up and
fight him like man. He advised that
Goebel make the Tate defalcation,
when Hardin happened to be attorney
general, the battle cry against him and
sought TO procure evidence that he
profted by it. His malignity knows no
bounds and his so-called democracy
goes glimmering when he can make a
point against democratic enemy with
the republicans. Hardin's supporters
know Browns attitude towards their
favorite and he will get precious few
votes from them and precious few from
any other source when it is generally
known that the l.. x n. is using him al
a tool to elect the republican nominee
for governor.

TREASURER LONG has ignored the
law and Gov. Bradley and arranged
with the banks to pay drafts drawn by
his son. The law expressly says that
he shall not leave without the approval
Of the governor and that no assistant
shall be recognized except on the en-
dorsement of the governor. Long wants
to neglect the business, for which the
State pays him, to run the republican
campaign, but the governor, who Is
trying TODD his duty as God gives him
light TO see that duty, very natur-
ally objects that he shall do so at the
expense of the STATE, when the law Is
expressly to the contrary. Gov. Brad
ley's action in the matter is commend
ed by right thinking men OF both par
ties and further adds to his claim for
popular approval.
