Honsehold KnowIedge or rood.

In planning for variety in the daily
bill of fare, the housewife should not
only make a choice of that which will
prove appetizing, but of that which
gives strength to all the different parts
of the body. Many housewives seem
to have very little understanding OF
the daily catering from this stand
point, yet it is not difficult matter
to keep in mind list OF foods that
will minister to the various require
ments of the body, if the matter is
given little study.
That part of our food which best
supplies muscular waste is termed
heterogeneous, that which is heating
and fat-forming, carbonaceous; while
the brain-forming is phosphate.
Among vegetable foods and cereals,
oats supplies the largest proportion of
muscle-forming food; beans supply
twenty-five per cent. of the muscle
forming principle, while peas supply
twenty-three and four -tenths parts;
apples supply five parts; eggs supply
sixteen per cent. of muscle-giving
food; oysters ten parts; fish give
about fourteen per cent. of muscle
giving food; oysters ten parts; fish
give about fourteen per cent. of
muscle forming afood chicken sup
plies twenty parts; beef, fat and lean,
about fifteen per cent. of muscle form
ing food; veal, ten and fye-tenths;
mutton, twelve and fve-tenths; pork,
ten parts of muscle food.
This is information every house
keeper should possess and every meal
should be served with variety of
food that will give heat, muscle and
brain food to the body.
Another point to be understood, es-
pecially when there is one or more in
the family who suffers from that COM
mon Neutrality-suspicious. the selection
of variety of food that is easily di-
gested. The length of timo required
to digest various articles of food differ
very considerably, and it should be
remembered that the longer the pro-
cess is going on the greater the de-
mand of the digestive powers, and
consequently the weaker the stomach
becomes. The question then to be
considered is what food will most
readily digest in the shortest length
of time, thus causing the system to
remain vigorous by being properly
nourished and never overtaxed.

1t is often q serious matter to find
some quiet amusement that will keep
a little invalid happy aud contented,
1t is especially difficult to amuse q
convalescent child who is naturally ac-
tive and restless and who requires
quiet and rest for rapid recovery. For
the little ones who are too young for
the enjoyment of books, or who are
not allowed to strain the eyes by look
ing at bright pictures, amusement may
be furnished by the manufacture OF
animals. Make little turtles of large
raisins with cloves stuck in for feet,
hands aud tails. To make such tur-
tie, fiatten large raisin, stick Glove,
with the blossom on, III one end for
the head, remove the bud from four
cloves and stick them at the four COR
ners for feet, and cut the end off of
one Glove to make the tail.
A still more fascinating process of
manufacture can be enjoyed from firm
apples or white potatoes, as there is u
chance for allowing the imagination
full sway. A knife and some we'll
washed potatoes will afford amuse-
ment for many hours, when combined
with a box OF toothpicks. The pota-
toes may be cut in slices and from
these slices all sorts OF animals fash
ioned, using long and short lengths
of toothpicks for feet and tails, and
for the legs the toothpicks may be
partly broken, and bent into patural
looking shapes, and still remain firm
enough to support the small potato
animal.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
A Refreshing DRINK For InvaIid..

hetrsHhing Drink TOT ihNN"S'
An invalid, who is kept on rather
strict diet, and is forbidden stimulants,
quickly tires of milk, yet longs for a
refreshing drink. A most nutritious
drink was recently prescribed for such
cease" which proved very accept
able. Take a cupful of dried or evap-
Grated sour apples, put in n large
pitcher or jar, and pour over it quart
of boiling water. Let it stand closely
covered till cold. Then add a quart
of cold water and strain. To patient
suffering from fever it is most accept
able, and il is as harmless as pure
winter.

Trouble Ahead for Mexico.

The clerical press in Mexico COM
plains against the policy Of the govern
ment giving lands to the Mormons and
allowing the advocates of tina church
to conduct schools at their colonies
where the native children are taught
that polygamy is righteous. The cler-
ical press is right upon this point. The
time will come when Mexico will regret
it if she gives the Mormons too much,
for it is not so easy to suppress vicious
practices after a large population has
centered in which public sentiment sup
ports that which the government de-
sires to end. Just for the present Mex
leo will take immigrants upon almost
any terms, but there will come a day
when the stubborn Mormon ~colonists
will be disposed to defy any restrictions
which Mexico may wish to put upon
them, and then the colonies in Chihua-
hua may prove extremely troublesome.
The government that banished the &C.
clesiastical orders after permitting
them to acquire too much power, may
have again to take arbitrary action if
the Mormons are given full swing to
establish themselves and their doc
trines too firmly in Chihuahua. The
pressure in the United States against
Mormonism will continue, and where
hundreds Of them have already left this
country to follow their polygamous Gus
toms in Mexico, thousands will follow,
for the colonists have succeeded In
farming and in manufacturing in the
country southwest of FL Paso.

Poverty Of Political Parties.

A few weeks ago Democratic papers
would have an immense campaign fund
this year with which to carry the pres
idential election. Now the assertion IL
made that the Republican national
committee has no funds, and Is likely to
have more difficulty in securing the
necessary money than the Democrats
expect to experience. The Democrats
argue that as the tariff has been settled
and cannot be ~overthrown, manufacture
ers will see nc need of helping with
contributions to the Republicans this
year; that the gold currency law will
have been fixed beyond peradventure
when congress adjourns, and that bank
ers and financiers will not have to chip
In for their own protection, since the
financial system will be all that they
wish; and that trusts will not be con-
tributors because they get their powers
from state governments and not from
congress. If the Democrats who proph-
esy to this effect are sincere they should
not be so bitter against the Republican
party, for the chief complaint some Of
them have made was an allegation that
the Republican organization was the
party of trusts, manufacturers and
bankers. The papers that chuckle over
the expected poverty Of the Republican
committee do not say where the Democ-
racy is to get funds; since Havemeyer
and his sugar trust associates who have
put up in other years for the party that
let the sugar magnates dictate the tar
iff schedule as to the commodity which
they import. knowing the anti-protec-
ton party cannot possibly secure a ma
iority in the senate for six years, have
nothing especial to gain by contribut-
ing to the success of the minority par
ty. The bitter denunciation of protec-
ton recently made by Havemeyer
shows where the sugar trust is at, but
as the protection party has the major
ity In the senate and a change cannot
be made in less than six years. the u
gar trust will probably give grudgingly
this year for the good Of the low tariff
party.

peenls Of Porto RICO sal THAR products

in this country without making them
pay toll to the nation which wishes to
be a mother to them. There are only
about 500. 900 men. women and children
in Porto Rico. Certainly they are not
able to .oduce enough Of anything to
glut the markets of America. The ad-
vocates of the duty upon Porto Rico
goods think that as the revenue would
be expended in Porto Rico, no objec-
ton should come from the islanders.
But if the tariff should prevent the Por-
to Rico products coming to this
try, then the producers would suffer
and the public expenditures would not
relieve the farmers of the island who
are In need Of a market more than they
are Of having public work done at the
port cities. The sum needed for imme-
diate public purposes and the govern
ment of Porto Rico for the present is
but small, and could easily be borrowed
or advanced by this government.

no Notifications on the Nicaragua ca
nal, as it is simply to be an open water
way which the ships of all nations may
use when they pay the price, and in

any fighting to be done down there to
maintain the neutrality of the canal,
American men of war will do it, and
Notifications would be expensive and
useless. The United States car trust

Congressman Bowersock of Kansas
has introduced a bill to abolish the
army c~anteens. or post exchanges,
whore beer Is sold. A year ago the sec
rotary of wal addressed inquiries to
military officers generally, asking for
their opinions of the workings of the
canteen system. Almost without ex-
ception they answered that the results
were beneficial; canteens resulted in less
drunkenness. The men permitted to
have beer openly no longer sneaked
whisky to the posts, and fewer ~resorted
to the deadfalls which skirt reserva-
lions. The result was less debauchery
and fewer crimes.
