HOLE IN THE LUNGS

There are thousands of men
and women, as we'll as ever,
with holes in their lungs: con-
sumption stopped.
Consumption stopped is con-
sumption cured. What does
it?
Some change in the way of
life and SCOTS emulsion of
cod-liver oil.
With the emulsion, give
some attention to circum-
stances: change from a dark
damp close room to a sunny
dry airy one; from city to coun-
try; from hard to an easy life;
indoors to out.
A hole in the lungs once
healed is no worse than a too
tight waist or waistcoat.
Take the emulsion, and give
it a chance to heal the wound.
Wen send you little to try if you like.

Several attempts have been made
in Europe by private persons and by
| agents of the United States govern
ment to popularize maize-commonly
called Indian corn in this country-as
an article of human food. These eff
| forts have met with some success. as
has been shown by the fact that in
| Italy, Austria and other countries in
mixed into a pasty substance known
| central Europe considerable quantities
of corn are used by the poorer people.
In northern Italy, partieenne9, there
is a large consumption Of Indian meal
as p~olenta. But most Of the corn
heretofore ground for human food In
Europe has been the product Of the
soil where it has been consumed; and,
although the export of maize to for
eign. countries from America has in
creased enormously in the>las few
years, it is believed that the greater
part of it has been fed to animals or
turned into alcohol. rather than used
as food for human beings.
The Inauguration of a kitchen de-
voted to the cooking of maize in such
appetizing ways as to make it attrac-
tive and fashionable at the Paris ex-
position is a repetition of similar en-
deavors that have been made at nearly
all the preceding worlds fairs. 1t Is
hoped that all the visitors at the expo
sition will be SO much pleased at the
dishes made from corr in the govern
ment kitchen as to awaken in them a
taste for the hitherto neglected ceroai
and induce them to demand 1t from
their grocers and bakers when they
return to their homes. Thence. It Is
believed, will result a large increase
in the expectation Of corn from this
country.-Ch'cago Record.

Points In Cooking Fish.

The first thing to learn about fish
cooking is that an UNDERGONE fish is a
flsh ruined-an offense to the palate,
an Indictment against the cook. The
second thing to bear in mind is, that
the simplest methods give the most
enjoyable results. Elaborate fish dish
es we may well save. for formal en-
tertaining for Jul social enemies (crit-
icsG to dazzle the eye and excite envy
Of skill; reserving for the home table
for our intimates and the gustatory
wise among our guests the perfection
Of simple broils, etc.
Never bone a fish, as by such mu-
tilation of the tissues the natural
juices are lost, leaving the flesh dry
and fayorless. Boning is quite COM
monty praeticed, but never by cooks
who are fitted by instinct and by the
best intelligence for the duties of their
Office. How to clean and treat the
many varieties of fish preliminary to
cooking, may not here be entered into,
space forbidding, and instruction from
ones dealer or butcher is therefore ur-
gently recommended.-EIla Morris

SavOry Poached Eggs.

Break an egg very carefully into a
coffee cup and sprinkle it lightly with
salt and pepper. Have ready a small
stewpan containing some boiling beef
tea which has been nicely seasoned;
carefully slip the egg into the pan
and poach it in the usual way. When
it is done place it on a rather thick
round of buttered toast; thicken a
small quantity of beef tea quickly with
a little corn -four and pour it over
the egg. Another way of serving a
poaehed egg is as follows:
Break a new laid egg into a buttered
teacup, easo it with salt and pepper
and place the cup in the stewpan ON
tanning sufficient boiling water to reach
to rather more than half way up the
cup; as soon as the egg is set turn it
carefully on to a piece of hot buttered
toast. During the time the egg is
cooking boil a small quantity of cream
in a saucepan, eason it with a little
celery salt and pepper and add a tea
spoonful of chopped parsley tQ.it: pour
the cream over the egg and serve at
once.

The Days of Big Books.

"The day of big books has gone by"
remarked a New Orleans dealer the
other evening. speaking of some re-
cent fine publications. up to a few
years ago nearly all the art prints and
handsome illustrated editions of stand
ard works were either folios or some
thing almost as large. There's a beau
tiful set of Dickens, for instance, print
ed in 1886. The illustrations alone
cost fully $4,000 and it represented
h~igh-water mark in mechanical excel
fence at that period. But look at the
size of the volumes! They are almost
as big and heavy as standard cyclope-
dias! At present the tendency is just
the other way, and the majority of the
really fine books that are being pub
lished are small and light. The usual
cover measurement is from SKI to 6xS
inches, and most of the standard nov
els are coming out in that size. One
reason why big books have gone out
of favor may strike you at first blush
as rather foolish, but I'm assured of it's
Importance by publishers who have
made the trade a lifetime study. The
big book can't be read in bed. It's too
heavy to be held when one is In q
reclining position, while the small
compact volume can be handled as
easily as a magazine. The great, mas
sive folios of the old times made nice
ornaments for the center table and
came in handy for the younger chill
dren to sit on at table. but to really
read them was a job for an athlete"

PEARLS OF THOUGHT

Good morals make the best manners.
Deeds are the only measures Of our
days.
A man must be greater than his
work.
It is easy to recover from another
mans adversely.
Greatness is not in being lifted up
but in growing up.
You cannot do right unless you are
willing to suffer wrong.
There is no fertilizer that will make
oranges grow on chokecherry trees.
They who live on public opinion will
probably die of popular opprobrium.
He who is crowned by his conscience
cares not If he is condemned by the
crowd.
1t is often impossible to both ap-
pease the conscience and to please
the crowd.
The man who places the highest
things first will be the first to get the
highest place.
The spendthrift who is always
spending upon himself Is as selfish
and NEAR as the miser.
Every man bears his own burden but
not every one has the blessing of bear
ing another's.-Ram's Horn.

A U FOREST,
How Indian Tribesnen Succeed in Es-
Gaping the Police.

How Indian Tribessnen Succeed in rs
Gaping the Police.
Some of the Indian tribes over which
we rule give us a great deal o. trouble
notably the Mahsuds, though it is
pleasing to learn from q recent Bonn
bay telegram that they are at last be-
ing brought to something like order,
and are paying the fine lately imposed
upon them, as we'll as agreeing to
cease their raids.
The Mahsuds, however, are not by
any means the worst of the Indian
robber tribes, that unenviable distinc-
ton probably falling to the Bills, who
are the ~cleverest scoundrels in the
world, both in their methods of &C
curing other peoples property and
in eVading pursuit.
They are very proud of their skill
in pilfering, and openly boast of it.
One of them once told a British Off
GER that he could steal the blanket
from under him. and was promptly
challenged to show his ability. That
night, when the officer was fast asleep
the Bhil robber cut a hole in his tent.
crept n~oiselessly in and gently tickled
the hands and feet of the sleeping man.
The officer stirred uneasily and turned
Owe In this way the Bhil was able
to pull the blanket out a little way. BY
repeating this performance he finally
succeeded in "coaxing" the blanket
completely from under the sleeper.
When engaged in his nefarious little
games the Bhil wears hardly any cloth

the British troops the robbers make
use Of a very clever device. They con

about to resemble stones or boulders.
Then picking UP a few twig3-if there
are any to be had-they assume all
sorts Of grotesque attitudes, their al
most feshless limbs silhouetted against
the dark night sky closely resembling
the charred limbs Of a tree. Abso-
lutely motionless they hold their posi-
lions till the enemy has passed them.
In this way a British subaltern, in
charge of a party sent to capture some
Bills, was considerably startled one
evening. The pursuit had completely
lost sight of the robbers, and finally
the party drew rein by a clump of
gnarled and bent tree trunks, tired and
hot from their hard exertions. The
officer in charge took off his hat and
placed it on the end of a broken limb,
when instantly there was a wild scream
OF laughter and the trees trunks sud-
denly came to life and vanished in the
darkness.-London Express.
