Too Much Money in steeples.

A church economist Of a practical
and somewhat eccentric turn Of mind
has estimated that. nearly s45,OOO,0OO
has been invested in non-productiye,
non-essential and purely ornamental
church buildings in this country, chief
ly in the form of steeples. If this
feature of ecclesiastical architecture
were dispensed with, according to his
estimate, and the amount represented
in steeples alone turned into the regu-
lar channels Of church benefcence, the
religious denominations would be re-
lieved for long time to come of the
necessity of making frequent and i'm
perative demands for money for the
support Of their mission boards and
other established agencies for promot-
ing religious work.-LesHe's Weekly.

APPLES AND LEMONS,
Lemon Esteemed Next to the ADpIe in
Medicinal Value.

Lemon Esteemed Next to the Apple in
Medicinal Value.
An apple poultice is held in high
esteem in French hospitals for in
hamed eyes. This fruit is also highly
recommended in obesity, and is USE
full in sea sickness, vomiting and ali
forms Of nausea. It should be eaten
baked if not we'll digested when eaten
raw. The lemon is next esteemed fo1
medicinal value. Six to nine day are
excellent in lung troubles, and the
juice OF one or two in a goblet of water
just before retiring, and in the morn
ing before rising, will soon overcome
a bilious attack. Lemon juice, sweet
eneo with sugar or honey, is very good
for cough or for hoarseness. For
feverishness roll a lemon until soft
cut off the top, and sugar, working il
down into the lemon with fork, and
suck it slowly. Hot lemonade will
break up cold if taken at the start
and piece of lemon bound on a corn
will cure it. Renew the piece every
night and morning. To cure chilblains.

and rub the feet well with it. Almost
everyone knows the value of lemons
in rheumatism, govt and obesity Gar

eat them with great liberality. He also
advises the use of strawberries, or

Tidy from Tip to Toe.

Perhaps no women in the world
snow as much taste and good sense
in the matter of d ress as French wom-
en-. 1t is even safe to say that they
are perfectly dressed. Thrift, not ex-
travagance, is the foundation of char
acter in rich and poor alike, and tho
French woman is educated to it. She
devotes more attention to- and has
more pride for what is not visible
her underwear, such as petticoats, cor
sets, hose, etc.-and sees to it that
these things are selected according to
her occupation and station in life.
One costly thing is not purchased at
the expense of another. A servant, for
instance, will not make herself ridicu-
aous-as they constantly do in Amer
1ca-by appearing on the street in a

and ragged shoes. II she cannot af-

Cornmeal SIush and Johnnycake Are
Here Discussed.
i An English writer ON the subject OF
the Shortage OF the American corr
crop takes the view that any consider
able advance in the price Of the cereal
will cut off the foreign demand. The
enormous increase in the consumption
OF maize in Great Britain in recent
years, he says, is not due to it's use as
human food. He goes on: Some of ii
is ground for sale as hominy; but the
great bulk is used as feeding stuff; and
IN recent years English farmers, as
well as team owners and street cal
companies in the large towns and
cities, have preferred the American
corn for the reason that it has been
cheaper and better adapted to their use
than corn imported from Russia and
the Argentine. The American corr
takes water better than these varieties
When the meal made from American
corn is fed to cattle and horses it is
sfaIded, not boiled; and it lends itself
to this treatment much better than the
round corn from the Argentine ano
Russia. In Ireland the peasantry eat
corn meal. It is common food with
the poorer people, but in Ireland the
meal is boiled, and Russian and Ar
gentlne corn is in much more general
use there than that imported from the
united States. In England, however
corn can hardly be said to be an article
OF diet" English people who do not eat
American corn meal are missing what
would do them good. The consumption
OF fancy preparations from corn has
greatly increased in the United States
during the past quarter of a century.
put IN the North the consumption OF
corn meal mush and johnnycake is not
as large as formerly. People who have
gwen attention to the relative values
OF foods regard this as unfortunate.
While the foods made from the starchy
part OF corn are exceedingly palatable,
there are virtues in the yellow part
OF the kernel that make corn meal and
Johnnycake invaluable articles Of diet.
