Value Of Dainty Meals.

The person who says that food tastes
just as good without so much trouble
being spent on the prettiness OF a meal
should not be allowed to influence the
housewife.
It is a fact that the laboring man
satisfies his hunger from the meal he
carries with him and eats at the way
side. but he looks forward to the enjoy
ment Of his Sunday dinner, served on
a clean, though perhaps coarse, table
cloth with weH-polished plates. dishes
and glasses To him the meal tastes
twice as good as any other IN the week
ana because he enjoys it more It does
him far more good.
Table influences are great factors in
the refinement of human beings. A
pleasant, well-prepared and daintily
served meal viii give a feeling Of peace
and good viii TO those who partake Of
it. while one that is the reverse of this
causes a feeling of Yexation and irri-
tation which by no means tends either
TO good digestion or to domestic har-
mony.
This being the case. it is the duty of
every housewife to see that meals are
as well cooked and prettily served as
possible and to teach her children the
refinemeutS Of the table.

ern science until to-day, in spite of
all progress must answer: We

never know the essence of matter,

Before the mystery of life, modern
science stands as ignorant as the
Greek Philosophers, centuries be-
fore the dawn Of the Christian era.
The learned Professor Burmeister
says: "What the principle Of life

itself is, but we know that 1t exists

science will wait until it shall dis
cover THE MEANS by which

osophical argument is an assump-
ton without proof. 1t is precisely
this principle OF life which arranges
and governs the material elements
found in the body. Hence as soon
as the principle of life escapes, cor
ruption takes the place of vital
action; the body as all organism
perishes.
Do we say that there are no
physico--chem1cal forces active in

say that. There are such forces,
but we deny, that the organisms
are merely the EFFECT or

infer precisely the contrary of what
materialists assert: not the material
qualities are the cause of the whole,
the principle of life is the cause OF
the physico--chemical process.

before hot fire. Noting that the lot
had ign ted and was being burned, he

When bending over it a cloud OF
smoke shot upwards, followed by a
terrific report, shattering the nearby
windows and burrowing a large deer
hole in the ground. When the excited
workmen rushed to the scene they
found the unfortunate victim stretched
upon the ground, mangled, bleeding,
dying.
A leg was hopelessly crushed, his
eyes were blown out and scores o!
gaping wounds covered the lacerated
face and body. Nearly every particle
of clothing was torn from his person
and lay in shreds about the ground.
His mutilated watch. picked up some
yards distant, had stopped at 10 min

fatal moment.

Though Queen Victoria was probably
the best beloved of all the monarchs of
her time and her loss will sorely affijct
her people her death will occasion no
political disturbance in the realm of
King Edward VIII. The crown passes
to her successor without bitch or jar
of public orier. Tue reason of this is
that Great Britain is essentially a
representative democracy IN which the
peope govern. the throne is only
revsled reminiscence.
