WHERE IS THE REMEDY


Prof Atwater, one of the agricultural
department experts, has been spending
a good deal Of time in the last two Or
three years in the work of investigating
the subject Of food and nutrition.
He takes the rather bold stand that
tine most wasteful people in their food
economy are the poor" and that while
the poor mans money is the worst spent
in the market, Ibis food is the worst
prepared and served at his own table.
Prof. Atwater, to prove his assertion,
cites, among many, one case, not ex-
ceptional, where a poor woman, with a
house full of needy and hungry children,
was given an opportunity to earn her
support, and with the first 81 earned by
her she expended 50 cents for a tumbler
of jelly, which contained less nutriment
than slice Of bread" Another case was
that of a iaborer who expended 50 cents
a day for a quantity of bread that could
have been made from 13 cents worth of
flour, and still another kept his family

HIS RELIGIOUS CONVICTIONS.

Weems and some of the other biogra-
Pliers have much to say about his re-

going out into the snowy woods at Val
ley Forge to pray When he was a
child he was baptized in the Episcopal
church, and whenever he regularly at
tended worship, as he did during his
presidency, it was at that church. But
he never was a member and never par
took of the communion, although he
served as a vestryman. When at Mount
Vernon he occasionally attended Pow
hick church, which he was instrument
tai in having built, but his Sundays were
usually spent in looking over his ac-
counts, in writing letters and some
times in fox hunting. However, he al
ways said grace" at the table.

EFFECT OF CHRISTIANITY
The Introduction of Christianity tended
to elevate women and to impart deeper
meaning and a wider influence to moth
erhood Since then, there has been, upon
the whole, steady increase of respect
for the maternal relation. The sentiment
Of reverence for the mother, at the ex-
pense of the father, so to speak, has In
vaded literature through every feasible
approach. To such an extent has this
partially been carried that the idea OF
paternity has almost ceased to have any
significance, except as pertaining to
the question Of pecuniary obligation. To
all higher intents and purposes, we trace
lineage through the female line, and
credit the mother with all the good quail
tiles Of her children, the same as if the
father had done no more toward bring
ing them into the world than to pay the
fee of the attending physician. There IS
really no scientific warrant for the COM
mon theory that a child Is chiefly in
debted to its mother for its mental and
moral equipment. It happens quite as Of
ten that heredity manifests itself on the
fathers side, and it will not do to claim
that all strong and cOmmendable traits,
any more than all weak and disreputabe
ones, are derived from one of the
parents

WINTER AMUSEMENT.

If you have children it will be a good
plan to provide some amusement for
them. The long winter evenings may be
made to appear very short if amuse-
ment is combined with instruction. One
boy will want a magazine and another a
magazine gun. The first is all right,
but the latter not so good. Innocent
games are all right, and so are puzzles.
One very pleasant way to do is to
furnish plenty of reading.

Inc WIDEST divergence was in New Eng

the benedictions of religion were sought

IN the colonies in which the Church of
England was established, marriages
usually took place in private houses-a
divergence from English usage growing
out of the circumstances of people in
new country. But it was everywhere
enacted that the bans should be pub
ished. This was in some places done
at church service as in England, or by
putting a notice on the court house door
In New England the publication was
sometimes made at the weekday lee
ture, at town meeting, or by affixing
a notice to the door or in the vestibule
of the meeting house, or to a post set
up for this purpose Publication seems
to have been sometimes evaded by in
genuity. The better sort of people in
some of the colonies were accustomed
to buy exemption from publishing the
bans, by paying a fee to the governor
for a license, and the governors rev.

Ministers in remote places sometimes
purchased a supply of licenses signed in

In all the colonies the genteel wedding
was usually an expensive and protract-
ed affair. There was no end to eating
and drinking, and dancing, teas and
supper. The guests were often supplied
with one meal before the marriage, and
then Toasted without stint afterward.
These festivities. on one pretext or an
other, were sometimes kept UP two or
three days, and even longer. The min
lister finished the service by kissing the
bride, then all the gentlemen present
followed his example, and in some re
gions the bridegroom meanwhile went
about the room kissing each Of the Ia
dies in turn. There were brides who
received the salutations of a hundred
or more gentlemen in day. AS if this
were not enough, the gentlemen called
on the bride afterward, and this call was
known as ''going to kiss the bride" In
some parts of the Puritan country kiss
ing at weddings was discountenanced,
but there were other parts of New Eng
land in which it was practiced with the
greatest latitude and fervor. There
were often rude tricks played upon the
wedding pair.
