2 The women have many virtues as
departmental employees. Yet, speaking
from long experience and at the same
time from purely personal stand
point, I believe would almost rather
have one male clerk than two female
clerks. This sort of preference is felt,
~ not actually exhibited, by most OF the
division chiefs in the departments to-
day. However, it would be mistake
Ito suppose that there is any concerted
movement looking to the eradication
OF women. from the departments Such
a thing as that wouldn't be possible.
It would be in controversion with the
civil service law, which makes no dis
tinction as to sex.
Many OF the women clerks fritter
away great deal of time in primping
during Office hours. They are not only

dressing rooms for this purpose, but

more, for the most Of the women clerks

FRUIT. AS A FOOD.
seasonable Changes in Food Supply Nec

seasonable Changes in Food Supply Nee
essary FOR Good Health.
Taken in the morning, fruit is as
helpful to- digestion as it is refreshing.
The newly awakened function finds in
it an object Of such light labor as will
exercise without seriously taxing it's
energies, and tissues Of the stomach
acquire at little cost a gain of nourish-
ment which will sustain those energies
in later and most serious operations.
1t is an excellent plan with this object
in view, to add little bread to the
fruit eaten. While admitting its pos

however, and while also agreeing with
those who maintain that in summer

but potent excitant of the whole pro-

IS not SO much an argument in favor
of the vegetarian principle, as a proof
that seasonable changes in food supply
are helpful to the digestive processes
and to nutritive changes in the tissues
generally. ..

Selling Skins Of Sacrificed Sheep.

When the Sultan of Turkey gets an
idea into his head he leaves nothing
undone to carry it out. At present his
one object is the building of the He'd
JAZZ railway from Damascus to Mecca.
AS the government has no funds avail
able, every Mussulman has been forced
to make voluntary contributions and a
very large sum of money has been col
lected. But it is not sufficient, and a
new idea has been evolved to help on
the pious work which the railway is
thought to be, owing to the fact that
it will lessen the troubles of the pill
grims. The 31st of March was Kour-
zan Bairam, the day On which every
pious Mussulman sacrifices one or
more sheep, according to his means
The Sultan's project was that all skins
of such sheep should be handed over
to a special commission, to- be sold,
and the proceeds given to the railway.
The council of ministers approved and
official notices were issued to that eff,
fect.-Chicago Journal

USING INSECTS FOR FOOD
Ftench EntomoIogist Has Tasted Sew
eral Hundreds OF Species

Fiench Entornologist HAS Tasted Sew
eral Hundreds Of Species.
A French entomolo M Dagin,
recommends insects as an article Of
food. He speaks with authority hav-
ing not only read through the whole
literature OF insect eating, but having
himself tasted several hundreds Of
species raw, boiled, fried, broile:i,
roasted and hashed. He has even
eaten spiders prepared according to
the following recipe. Take a plump
spider, remove the legs and skin. Rub
over with butter and swallow" How
ever, he does not recommend them,
but this may be prejudice on his part
He states two objections to spiders.
They are not insects and they feed on
animal food. Cockroaches are. a foun-
dation for a delicious soup. M. :Dagin
follows the recipe given by Sentor
Testelln in a speech delivered in. the
senate on February *l2, 1873 Pound
your cockroaches into a mortar; put
in a sieve, and pour in boiling water or
beef stock. - Connoisseurs prefer this
to the real bisque. NJ Wilfrid de Fon-
Vlelle, the French scientist, prefers the
cockroaches in the larval state. The
perfect insect may be shelled and eaten
like shrimp; that way Dr. CASTER,
member of the National assembly Of

only African and American native

d d'lsjonvalle, who knew his taste, coll
lected in the afternoon all the cater
pillars she could find in her garden
and served them on plate to her
guest. The most popular insect food is
the locust. It is eaten fried, dried in
the sun, ground in flour, broiled
(among the Bedum), boiled in milk "a
Morocco recipe), or fried and served
with rice as in Madagascar. The
Jesuit Father Cambou thinks that To-

CO. In Egg Selling,

In egg production, Denmark is forg-
ing to the fore, her exports having
doubled in the last five years. This.
has largely been brought about
through the combination of the farm
ers into syndicates. The farmers form
local associations, the officers of which
in turn, elect central officers to con-.
troll the management of the whole cor:
poration. Each egg, as it is gathered
is stamped with the mark of the local
association and the number of the in
diyidual in the association. Eggs So
are taken to the central point
when they are shipped to Copenhagen.
If any. bad eggs are found at Copen-
hagen, a fine of about $1.00 is imposed
upon the person sending the same, and
will force one out of the
association.-Prof. w. A. Henry.

"a record of Wall streets doings for

reflection upon the intelligence of the

Ing that few men should be permitted
TO corner the market for their own self
ish purposes. beat down the price OF
one stock and boom the price Of an
other stock, demoralizing business and
jeopardizing the interests of all classes
OF society. How will the historian de-
scribe the age in which a petty thief
Ia severely punished, while great crlmi-
mails go unwhipped? It often takes an
object lesson to arouse the people to
the evils of bad system, and the re-
cent fluctuations In the stock market,
costly as they have been, will be cheap
II they lead to legislation which will
put an end to stock gambling. erron-
