like an elephant he would be hap
by, but, alas! it cannot be thus.
Whenever circus with drove of
elephants is coming to town the
boys heart is made joyous. If
his father won't let him go to the
circus, he goes anyway and his
heart is made to ache with a
licking.
In his native wilds, the elephant
gets up early in the morning and
has fun all day long. He gambols
on the green, chases himself up
hills and down, tears down trees
in the forest, plunges into rivers
to squirt water in the air, inces-
sanity utters peculiar cries and
it is lovely cards until bed
time. He is as happy as if he were
going to a circus every day and
watching works all night.
But when he is in captivity he
has lost his joy and his heart is
heavy with sorrows. He simply
stands around and lifts his feet
and swings his head and feels for
peanuts, candy and apples with
the end Of his trunk. There are
times when he longs to gambol
about and pluck the bonny brier
bush up by the roots, but the hand
Of man restraints him. Then he
bats his eyes and wags his ears,
but does not complain.
The elephant is not a fierce
animal. He is good natured and
smiling all day unless somebody
plays a trick on him. When he
finds pepper in a peanut or eats
tobacco by mistake, his very soul
is stirred with anger. He longs
to seize the one who played the
trick and crush him like a worm
in the dust. No man or boy who
respects the feelings of an ele-
plant will seek to take advantage
of his innocence and hypo him
into eating adulterated breadstuffs.
If this is done, nobody can blame
him if he breaks loose and knocks
the shining black horns off buffa-
10 or throws the sacred bull up in
the air.
Sometimes the elephant is badly
treated by his keeper, man with
crowbar or a steel hook, and
then he seizes him and bangs him
against something hard until the
keepers soul takes it's weary
fight. STRABo.

water if cooked in a single boiler
where the heat is more direct and the
evaporation greater.
Rice is ligh. and porous and docs
not need so large proportion OF water
as do the other unground cereals OF
similar size.
Flour being fine and exposing the
starch cells to the heat and moisture
requires less water, and can he cooked
IN less time. For flour mushes, lie
proportion is from one to one and n
half OF flour to one OF wetting, and
from ten TO twenty minutes boiling.
Salt is needed in the cooking of ce-
reals to give flavor to the food and to
give flavor to the food and to increase
the flow OF saliva, which is the fluid in
the mouth corresponding to the fer
ment in the plant, which changes the
starch into sugar. Cereals must be
well chewed or mingled with the sa-
Iva, in order that this change may be-
gin when the food is eaten. II this is
not done, the starch passes through
the stomach unchanged, and is the
principal cause of what is called starch
dyspepsia. This is one of the most
common forms of dyspepsia.

If VIC study what starch is, why it is
cooked, instead of being eaten raw if
we learn the general rules and fol-
low them, we not only bring more
pleasure for the expenditure OF the
money, but we are health-givers in
stead of bringing disease apd suffering
to those whose health and comfort
depend upon the food they receive at
our hands. Is this trivial matter or
one to be passed by while We study
about ancient Egypt, or prepare pa
per on astronomy to read at the club,
or take part in some charitable work
for the starving poor?
The most serious starvation is often
in the homes OF the well-to-do. 1t is
not what We eat, but what we digest
and assimilate that does us any good.
Starch is u heat-producing food. Il is
found in cereals, vegetables, and nuts.
Nature has stored it in seeds for the
growth of young plants. But starch
cannot be used as food by either
plants or animals, until it has been
changed into sugar. The starch in q
kernel of wheat may be kept two
thousand years without being absorbed
by the plant life in the seed, but as
soon as it comes into contact with
head and moisture, the starch is
changed into sugar and dextrin, and
the plant grows and is nourished.

The -Four Essentials for COOKING.

Right utensils, the right proportion
of water, sufficient time for expanding
grain, the least possible amount Of
stirring.
The grains are solid and sink to the
bottom before expanding. 1t is neces-
sary to have double boiler, or TO
place the pan in which the cereal is
cooked into another containing boil
ing water. The steam of the water in
the under basin carries off the extra
heat before it reaches the burning
point of the cereals, so that they can
cook without burning. Cereals re-.
quire abundance OF moisture and
strong, steady heat to burst the starch
cells, and expand the grains. The
amount of water and the length of
time depend upon the size, form, and
solidity of the cereal.

Coarsely ground in steel mills, it is

turer's greed.

Cereal Foods, Their Use and Cookery

If You put the cereal into the right
kind Of cooking utensil, and use the
right proportion of water, and allow
sufficient time for all tie starch cells
to expand evenly, you can let the
cooking take care OF itself without
further trouble on your part. You
will not only have saved your time,
labor, and strength, but you will have
superior article OF food, more palata-
BILE and nourishing, giving enjoyment
as we'll as healthfulness. Surely Of
all things on earth, this text is most
applicable to cookery: with all thy
getting, get understanding" That is
the foundation-stone. We can always
remember things better if we know
the reasons why.

Unless she Is a healthy mother. Nc
woman can. If the baby has drained
her vitality; if its care is a tax; if, in
short, the baby is burden instead of a
blessing, how can she enjoy it, She
loves it, but she cannot feed it. She
yearns for it, but has not the strength
to fondle it.
There is nothing more beautiful in the
world than healthy mother and her
healthy child. The madonna is the
highest reach of human art. In the
serene strength which art gives to the
typical mother and child there is distinct
denial of suffering and weakness as a
necessity of motherhood. But how few
women are there to whom motherhood
is naturally an abiding joy. In how
many cases a woman dates her loss Of
health from the birth of her child To
all such suffering women DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription comes as veritable
god-send. It prepares the mother for
her hour of trial, tranquilizes her nerves,
encourages her appetite, and brings her
restful sleep. 1t makes the baby's ad-
vent practically painless, and gives the
mother abundant strength to nurse and
nourish her child.
Every claim made for "Favorite Pre-
scription" is supported by the testimon-
ials of wives and mothers, thousands in
number, and covering in their several
experiences the whole range of womanly
suffering. In a great number of cases
after the utter failure of all doctors and
medicines, DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-.

fected perfect and permanent cure.

Wireless telegraphy is an art which

1t has attracted the most earnest eff

NO THANKS, NO TIPS.
An Attempt to Inculcnte Gratitude
In Metropolitan Walters.

Walters in the most exclusive OF the
restaurants have come to look upon
the tip as so certainly their right that
they have come to assume an air that
is offensive in the extreme, says the
New York Times. Thtoe is no ac-
acknowledgement from them for this
courtesy on the part of the diner now
unless he gives them a bill, when Of
course the waiter is obsequious in the
extreme and generally extensively so
when the bill is of an exceptionally
large denomination. There is now no
thank YOU for tip in silver. The
waiter merely grabs it as a thing that
belongs to him.
Naturally there has come revolt on
the part of the diners, and several
walters in fashionable resorts have
been receiving much needed lesson
within the past week or two. Men
have begun to call walters back to
them when there has been no thank
YOU in acknowledgment of a tip and
| on one preteXt or another have asked
that the tip be returned as if to ex-
anime the change or increase the tip.
Then these men, who only demand that
a waiter shall at least profess to be
thankful for the gift, have quietly
! pocketed the coin after telling the
1, waiter that as lie had neglected to re-
turn thanks for the pour boire he was
therefore not entitled to it.
/ This plan has worked well, though it
has made the walters who have thus
| lost their tips through lack of courte-
] sy surly and inclined to break crockery
! as means of relieving their minds,
which latter is of course only biting
off ones nose to spite his face. Club
men who are used to respectful treat
ment at their clubs are determined to
wrest the 'thank you" from the waiter
or withhold the tip, and the plan to
force the acknowledgment is spread
ing rapidly as a means of curling
the discourtesy of walters. The plan
meets with the approval of the man
ayers of the restaurants, who hope to
see it universally adopted until surly
walters have learned that the tip is not
theirs of right, but is a matter as be-
tween a man well served and his servi-
tor.
