HealthfuI Food.

The person who decides what shall be
the food and drink of a family and the
modes of its preparation is the one who
decides to greater or less extent what
shall be the health of the family 1t is
the opinion of those who have studied the
matter that intcmperance in eating is one
of the most fruitful of all causes of dis
ease and death.
If this is so. the woman who wisely
adapts the food and cooking of her family
to the laws of health removes one of the
greatest risks which threaten the lives
of those under her care.
Different parts of the body require diff
ferent foods. When the body requires a
given kind of diet specially demanded by
brain, lungs and muscles, the appetite
will crave food for it until the necessary
amount of this article is secured.
If the necessary food is not supplied
other food will be taken in larger guam
titles than needed until that amount is
gained.
If food is taken which has not the
needful quality, more is taken than the
system can use, while the vitality of the
body is needlessly taxed to digest il.
The proper digestion of foods depends
on the wants of the body and on its pow
er of appropriatng the aliment supplied.
The best of food cannot be properly di-
gested when not needed.
Overeating is the common curse of
mankind, and much sickness would be
saved If we were more temperate.

Mill discharged all his duties as siren

life was prolonged illustration of the
remark that when an action presented it.
self to him as duty he became physical
ly incapable of doing it, Whatever Mill
undertook he accomplished, often in the
face of enormous difficulties Coleridge
never finished anything. and his works
are heap of fragments of the prolegom-
ena to ambitious schemes. Mill worked
his hardest from youth TO age. never spar
ing labor or shirking difficulties or turn
ing aside from his path. Coleridge daw-
died through life, solacing himself with
opium, and could only be coaxed into oc-
casional activity by skillfu diplomacy.
Mill preserved his independence by rigid
self denial, temperance and punctuality.
Coleridge was always dependent upon
the generosity of his friends Mill
brought up a large family and in the
midst Of severe labors found time to ed
ucate them even to excess. Coleridge
left his wife and children to be cared for
by others. And Coleridge died in the
odOr of sanctity, revered by his disciples
and idolized by his children, while Mill
went to the grave amid the shrugs of re-
spectacle shoulders and respected rather
than beloved by the son who succeeded
to his intellectual leadership.-"Englsh

RACE HORSES TRUNKS.
Some Animals Have as Many as the
PrOverbiaI Summer Girl.

When race horse distinguishes himself
by winning some important contests, one
of the first provisions made for him is an
individual trunk containing an outfit of
clothing and toilet appliances of all sorts.
Besides this special attendants are select
ed to look after his comfort and cleanli-
ness The grooming of the horses on any
first class track is one of the interesting
morning happenings and gives one Il
clearer idea of the value of these animals
than their performances on the track can
present, however brilliant they may be.
When one observes the care they receive
and the nicely with which they are wash
ed, dried brushed and combcd and the
watchful care which is bestowed upon
them as they are fed, one realizes that
they represent thousands of dollars with
in themselves and in their possible win
nings of the future.
Some of the great race horses have al
most as many trunks as the proverbial
summer girl, but the average horse has
only one trunk, very strongly built mark
ed with his name and provided with a
special lock. Each animal has its own
basins, pans and pals for the toilet, his
feeding utensils, brushes and combs. The

never used for any other horse. A race
horse has many sets of towels of various
grades and his blankets of various
weights for all weathers. These are
marked and numbered and are kept beau
tifully clean and aired. The belongings
OF horse are carried about in his trunk
during periods of travel and while he is
visiting in strange stable.
Besides this luxury every great horse

quently becomes very valuable. In the
casket, which is n compartment of the
trunk, are kept the various trinkets pre-.
sented by admirers. These consist large.
ly of articles of wear, such rs brides fin.

and mounted haters with valuable set.
tings and combs and brushes mounted in

rarely used and often of great value, are
never kept on view at the homes of the
owners or trainers, but are invariably
carried about in the horses trunk, ac.
companying him on his travels. When at
home, there are cases and special recep-
tacles for them in the stable.
The horses travel in parlor cars spe-
cially constructed with view to horse
comfort, are tended as carefully as ba-
bies and are almost always loved by
their trainers and the stable boys, espe-
cially when their dispositions are good,
and the ugly tempered race horse is the
exception to the general rule. When
they win a great race, they are petted

which certain measure of his success in

due. The trick consists in waking Il

such happenings are not unknown. and it
is well for an able logician of the bar to
be prepared for it.
The trick of waking sleepy judge
would seem to be something in the nature
of slamming law book under his nose
or connecting his personality with the
current Of an electric battery. But the
trick is explained as purely a matter of
sound involved in the skillful control of
the voice. 1t is said that a barrister
practiced in the art and rhetoric of ad-
dressing the bench can gather all the
waves of sound from his throat into a fo-
Gus and deposit it in the orifce of the

The Woman without IL Trade.

For the girl whose parents have recog-

the question of SuStenance has no terrorS,

qualification, with meager education,
who when suddenly brought to the brink

comes, she finds herself competitor with
a few millions of women, each one of
whom is by schooling made mistress Of
some one art or craft and is thus safely
launched on career.

of the difficulty is to qualify herself to en-

700 BABIES IN LINE.
A Wonderful Parade at Asbury Park
 One Day Last Week.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 Asbury Park-No more delightful spec tacle was ever witnessed here than the nearly 700 babies, participants at o'clock Wednesday afternoon in the annual baby parade It was the principle event of the season, and 10000 summer visitors crowded both sides of the one mile stretch of Ocean avenue to watch the procession.
 Many sections of the country were rep resented, and there was one participant from Paris, France, and one from Syria. Thirty-fye prizes will be distributed.
 In the parade there were coaches and floats that cost their owners from $100 to $500 to decorate, and the effect as the procession filed past the court of honor of Queen Titania, represented by Miss Grace M. Crawford of New York, was dazzling. The grandstand opposite the queens court, with a seating capacity of 5000 was fully occupied, and for one mile the Ocean avenue was lined with summer visitors. All the avenues running into the ocean were also densely packed with fashionable turnouts from the neighbor- ing resorts of Long Branch, West End, Deal, Allenhurst, Belmar and Spring Lake.
 As the procession moved the partici- pants were DOmDdTQeu WILL COHlctI oiu colored papers. Prominent in the line was Virginia Hope Kelsey, aged years, of Asbury Park seated in her chariot, representing the Queen of Waters, driv- ing a monster butterfly, with Miss Grace Miller seated above her as the Queen Of Night. waving a golden wand over her queen. This won the first prize in the class for best decorated coaches.
