HONEY is WHOLESOME.
Furnishes Some Elements OF NJ
triton as starch and Sugar and
Imparts Energy.

1t is a fact generally known that
starch and sugar must undergo di-
gestive change before they are assim-
Hated. But it is not so generally
known that in honey this change has
been made to a considerable extent by
the bees. \ writer in Health explains
that honey is easy to assimilate, is con
centrated. aud furnishes the same ele-
ments Of nutrition as starch and SUI
gar, imparting warmth and energy.
AS medicine, honey has great
value and many uses. 1t is excellent
in mos lung and throat affections, and
is often used with great benefit in
place of codliver oil. Occasionally
there is person with whom it does
not agree, but most people can learn
to use it with beneficial results Chill
dren who have natural appetites gen
orally prefer il to butter. Honey is a
laxative and sedative, and in diseases
of the bladder and kidneys is an ex-
cellent remedy
1t has much the same effect as wine
or stimulants, without their injurious
effects, and is unequaled in mead and
harvest drinks. As an external appli-
cation it is irritating when clear, but
soothing when diluted. In many places
il is much appreciated as a remedy for
Group and colds. In preserving fruit,
the formic acid it contains makes
better preservatiye than sugar strip
and it is also used in cooking and con
fections. Honey does not injure the
teeth as candies do.

MRS. GROVER CLEVELAND.
Wife of Ex-Trcsidcnt VIII SDrnd
winter In New York " here She
IL Very Popular.

The announcement is made that
Mrs. Grover Cleveland, having seen
her four babies out of the nursery.
VIII spend greater part of the win
ter in New York, mingling in its
life of gayety.
That Mrs. Cleveland will be more
than cordially received is a fact that
goes without emphasis, says the Chi
cago Chronicle.
No woman is surrounded in the
pubic mind with a greater degree Of
interest and romance than Mrs.
/ Cleveland
At the age of 81 she married the
chief executive of the United States.
During the decade that followed
she peopled the white house with
little folks, making the historic walls
ring with their laughter for the very
first time in their history.
Other presidents had children that
were related to them distantly. or
were borrowed children. But in this
case the baby carriages were for the
use of the babies of the president
and his wife and the rattles, the go
carts, the baby jumpers and the small
pets were intended for Baby Ruth.
Baby Marian, Baby Esther and their
small friends.
Mrs. Cleveland during this time
distinguished herself by her hospital
ity and by the elegance of her
gowns. No woman since Queen Eliza
beth dressed with such superb taste.
Her embroideries. her trains. her Jew
els and her color schemes were the
work of the best modistes on both
sides of the water.
1t is probable that she did not dress
extensively, but she was college
girl, and a college education certain
~ does tell. No Smith woman, de-
voted to art, ever achieved greater
triumphs than were those that fell
at the feet of Mrs. Cleveland the
while she was queening it in the
white house. She was the first lady
of the land, and no less in matters
of dress than in other things.
Aside from her personal taste and
individual elegance, Mrs Cleveland
had beauty; she was really pretty,
and this helped out the whole
But at no time in her career could
Mrs. Cleveland, then or now, be said
to be popular. She has a great dis
taste for notoriety, and has never

Seen In Virginia.

Last week, while travelling in Vir-
ginia, l found school on the public
road that had an attendance of five
children. One mile further was an
other school with an enrolment of fif-
teen and an average attendance Of
twelve. A mile further was a school
with an average attendance of eight.
Half a mile further were three private
schools. This is not an exceptional
condition in that state.
In another community gentleman
said to me: There are five or six
schools within few miles of my door,
but our children attend neither one
for very obvious reasons to the in
telligent father.
One of the things we are working
for is the grouping of these schools
into one lnstitution.-Robert Frazer.
