WASTE AND ECONOMY.


whose own housekeeping is a mar
vel of frugality and elegance, said
not long ago, upon a hotel piazza {:
''The wealth of Americans is
thrown out i'll the garbage pail. "
Frivolous listeners thought the re-
mark trifle coarse, but thought
full ones were impressed by :its
truth.
The waste of food, through ig-
norance, is pitiable, though partly
excusable, but a wllful, reckless
waste of the supply God has given
to His creatures is a sin against
humanity, and political econo-
mists say that the household
waste of one week in America
would support the whole popula-
ton for two weeks, and this is
true of no other country.
The French housekeeper makes
marketing a science. She adapts
her selections to the use that is to
be made of them. Small quanti-
ties and everything consumed is
her unwritten law. At the same
time her thoughts fly to different
uses for every bit of food she buys.
She cannot calculate exactly how
much will be eaten at a meal, and
the little that will be left she sees
IN her minds eye forming the bas-
is of REVEALS which skill shall
make more delicious than at the
first appearance of the same
viands.
Ask an American woman what
becomes of the water in which the
table vegetables were boiled, and
she will tell you it is poured down
the sink. In a French kitchen
every drop of it is religiously pre-
served to add quantity, richness
and flavor to soups and gravies.
When the dishes are cleared from
the table there may be hopeless
looking beefsteak bone on a back
ground of cold melted butter, and
a broken slice of bread. As a
mere matter of instinct a thor
oughly-trained French servant
wipes the buttery dish with the
bread and drops both it and the
bone into the stock kettle, which
is the life and soul of all cooking,
the foundation of soups, sauces,
purees, and many other of the eX-
cellent food preparations with
which French housekeepers sup
PIGMENT the solid joints OF meat.
If a piece of meat has lain upon
your plate, and been touched with
your knife and fork, when you cut
off such a portion as you wished
to eat, it did not thus become
poisonous, and should not be
thrown away. The French cook
will daintily drop such pieces into
a bowl of warm water, to free
them from other food, and then
add them to the contents of the
stock kettle.
Those who serve dishes at table
should understand that it is not
kind to load the plate with a large
quantity of food, but allow the
privilege of asking for more, and
those who are served should refuse
to take either a kind or quantity
of food that they cannot eat.
Children should be early taught
that it is exceedingly ill-bred and
beast-like to mix up the different
kinds of food upon their plates,
but whatever remains should be
left in nice conditior-the bread
upon the cloth near the plate; the
butter upon the edge Of the plate,
etc.

vide for half a dozen hungry chill

D-FRIENDS.
BELLE BEARDEN BARRY.

Some days ago while conversing
with friend about the many diff
ferent dispositions we meet as we
go through life, and their attrac-
ton or repulsion for other natures
with whom they come in contact,
the following interrogation came
into my mind. MAY we not very
readily class our acquaintance
and friends as we do our food?"
The one furnishes mental food,
while the other furnishes food for
the body.
Some of our physical food is
necessary, another kind may be
more necessary, while there are
certain foods we cannot do with
out. Some friends are essential
to our welfare in life, others are
more essential, while there are
certain ones whose presence to our
happiness and mental health is
indispensable.
How easy it is for us to call to
mind a certain dish of which we
are not very fond, and just as nat
ural do we find it to call to mind
one or more of our acquaintance
whose presence we desire but sell
dom. We cannot be censured for
this because we are not RESPONSE
BILE for this innate feeling of at
traction and repulsion, which is a
part of our humanity, but we be-
come responsible for our words
and actions when thrown with
such persons, and if we act we'll
our part we will say or do nothing
which will detract from their
pleasure.
There is the friend we might
name the Dessert-friend, which sig
nifies we can do without him very
we'll, although his presence seems
to give a final touch to our num-
Der of friends.
Now let us call to mind our
Coffee-friends, those who stimu-
late us with their brilliant CONVEX
sation and ready wit-causing our
own mental powers to exercise
pleasantly and with due recipro.
cation. Such friends we delight
to find, and to such are we power
fully drawn.
Who is our Fruit-friend? He
who brings to us refreshment and
cheer with every look and word,
while his joyous face beams upon
us his heart-light, and heart-love,
and how glad is human nature to
welcome such friendship as this,
whose sweet influence permeates
our being-to remain with us af-
ter the giver has departed. This
kind of friend we all will be ready
to meet half way.
Have we any Lemon-friends?
Shall we say it is the pleasure of
such to flavor with acidity every
sentence they utter, while almost
every word is a complaint, and
every look a frown, taken from
the only side of Life's picture
which they are able to see? Let
us show pity to such-but let us
not succeed in numbering many
of this class in our own circle, lest
their disease become contagious,
the result Of which would be more
dreadful than wintry storm with
thermometer below zero.
Now, what shall we call our best
friends? Let me suggest the name
Bread-friends-for as bread is the
staff of life, so do our best and
truest friends become the support

can be no question, If he antagonizes

will, that the contest for the nominal
ton will be an exceedingly interest,"
ing one The letter in part is as
follows:
The announcement of the candi-
dacy for the Democratic nomination
for Governor OF Attorney General A.
j. Montague occasioned something
of a sensation in legislative and
political circles. Mr.. Montague has
been considering this step for several
weeks, bat it was not until within
the past few days his determination
to announce his candidacy until AT.
ter the adjournment of the Legisla-
ture. The fact, though, that Messrs.
Swanson, Ellyson and Echols, the
other aspirants for the Governorship,
permitted the announcement, of their
candidacy induced Mr.. Montague to
follow suit at this time.-This gentle
mans campaign promises to be by
long odds the most interesting and
unique of any of the quartet. All
indications point to and warrant the
belief that Mr.. Montague's fight will
be made on lines positively anita
gonlstic to what is required of the
"machine" element. This class have
been against him since his attitude
in the May convention became so APP
parent. The chances now are that
the coming fight is to be Montague
against the machine and its methods.
The skirmish line has already been
formed and the battle when it opens
will probably be the most interesting,
if not the tiercest, ever fought in
Virginia.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1900.

The political strife, which has ex
listed in Kentucky for several months
past between the two parties in that
State, eliminated Tuesday in an at
tempt 20 murder William Goebel, and
the developments since do not seem
to indicate that the end of lawless
ness and bloodshed in that State is
yet in sight. Goebel since he was
shot down has been declared Cover
nor By the Democratic members of
the Legislature of Kentucky and
sworn in as such. Taylor, the pres
ent incumbent, backed by the mill
tary. not only refuses to recognize
the right of GOebel as Governor but
has issued proclamation adjourning
the Legislature to an insignificant
town in the State and threatens to
arrest every member of the Legisla-
ture who disputes his right even
by failure to attend at the new place
designated by him for the meeting of
the Legislature. The outcome OF
such condition of things no one of
course can foresee, but the gravest
fears are entertained that 1t may re-
suit in clash between the adherents
of Goebel and Taylor and the loss OF
many lives.
That Goebel is Governor now
though cannot be questioned. The

that right, and it is gratifying to be
lieve, that the responsibility has been
shifted to the republicans if the law

printed interviews with the Cover.

of electing United States senators to
Congress by popular vote. With few
exceptions, the Governors replied
that the people of their respective

This is notably true of the Governors

said that the people of Virginia were
