Waste in Cooking.

Prof. Marshall, the noted English
economist, estimates that $500, 900, 900
is spent annually by the British work
ing classes for things that do moth
ing to make their lives nobler or
truly happier. At the last meeting
of the British association, the presi-
dent, in an address to the economic
section, expressed his belief that the
simple item of food waste alone
would justify the aforementioned
estimate. One potent cause of waste,
to-day, is that very many of the wom-
en-, having been practically brought
up in factories, do not know how to
buy economically, and are neither
passable cooks nor good housekeep-
ers. It has been estimated that, in
the United States, the waste from
bad cooking alone is over $1,OOO,0OO,-
900 a year!-Prof. William Mathews,

Two of n Kind.

An amusing instance of unconscious
soliloquy during tete-a-tete with a
lady is told of the famous physician,
DR.. Friend. It was in the old convivial
days, and the doctor was summoned
one evening from rather too festive
board to the bedside of lady patient.
He felt her pulse ''secundem artem,"
but for the life of him could not count
it's beats. ''Drunk, by Jove!" he
soliloquized, and pulled himself to-
gether sufficiently to order some
harmless mixture. His delight may
be imagined when the next morning,
instead of an indignant dismissal from
further attendance, he received from
his patient a confession that he had
diagnosed her complaint quite cor
rectly.-London Globe.

JUST WHAT TO EAT.
Tie Proper Food to Consume If PeO-
pie Want to PrOIOnE Their
Lives.

Anatomical experiment and investi-
cation show that the chief character
istics of old age are the deposits Of
earthly matter of a gelatinous, fibrin-
Gus character in the human system
Carbonate and phosphate of lime,
mixed with other salts of a calcareous
nature, have been found to furnish the
greater part of these earthly deposits,
says the New York World.
AS observations show, man begins
in a gelatinous condition.; he ends in
an osseous or bony one-soft in in
fancy, hard in old age. Of course,
these earthly deposits, which affect all
the physical organs, naturally inter-
fere with their functions. Partial
ossification of the heart produces the
imperfect circulation of the blood
which affects the aged. When the
arteries are clogged with calcareous
matter there is interference with cir
culation, upon which nutrition de-
ponds. Without nutrition there is no
repair of the body.
None of these things interfere with
nutrition and circulation in earlier
years. The reparation of the physical
system, as every one ought to know,
depends on this fine balance. In fact,
the whole change is merely slow,
steady accumulation of calcareous de-
posits in the system. When
these become excessive and resist ex-
pulsion they cause the stiffness and
dryness of old age.
Entire blockage of the functions of
the body is then mere matter of
time; the refuse matter deposited by
the blood in it's constant passage
through the system stops the delicate
and exquisite machinery which we
call life. This is death. It has been
proved by analysis that human blood
contains compounds of lime, magnesia
and iron. In the blood itself are thus
contained the earth salts. In early
life they are thrown off. Age has not
the power to do it.
Hence, as the blood is produced by
assimilation of the food we eat, to this
food we must look for the earthly ac-
cumulations which in time block up
the system and bring on old age. * x
Almost everything we eat contains
more or less of these elements for de-
stroying life, by means of calcareous
salts deposited by the all-nourishing
blood. Careful selection, however
can enable us to avoid the worst of
them.
Earth salts abound in the cereals,
and bread itself, though seemin gly the
most innocent of edibles, greatly as
sists in the disposition of calcareous
matter in our bodies. heterogeneous
food abounds in this element. Hence
diet made up of fruit principally is
best for people advancing in years,
for the reason that, being deficient in
nitrogen, the ossific deposits so much
to be dreaded are more likely to be
suspended.
Moderate eaters have in all cases
much better chance for long life than
those addicted to excuses at the table.

Unknown to Lawyers.

Judge -, one of the great lawyers
of the last generation, charged a
client retainer of $1,000 in an i'm
portant case, but settled the suit be-
fore the judge had opened book or

fund part of the money. The lawyer
seemed surprised at the suggestion.

Pennsylvania weaseIs.

Possibly few who read Of kings
robes of royal ermine" appreciate that
the rightful and first possessors of the
of the Keystone State. 1t may be that
some subtle force suggested TO turn
coat monarchs to choose the pelt of this
animal for their own. In fact, during
the greater portion of the year the err
mine is a plain egg sucking weasel. As
winter comes on he assumes a white
coat, with black tipped tail.
Putolus noveboracensis, as the scien-
fist calls the weasel or ermine, ranges
from North Carolina away up into Can
ada. 1t is rare, however, to take err
mine or white coated weasels in Penn
sylvanla, although two specimens have
just been received at the Academy of
Natural Sciences from Sullivan county.
In fact, south OF Pennsylvania the wea-
sci never changes color in winter, and
this fact goes far to substantiate the
theory of protective coloration. Thus
when snow covers the ground the white
ermine becomes nearly invisible, while
In his weasePs guise during the sum-
mer he is not nearly so conspicuous as
he would be did he wear his white coat
all the year round.
Another interesting fact is that while
the animals that live in the north al
ways change color those in the south do
not, the reason, being that their white
color would not protect, but destroy,
them, as there is almost no snow in the
south.-Philadelphi Record.
