The crown princess Of Denmark, who
is now In Paris with her husband, is
not celebrated for her good looks, but
she has the more permanent distlnc-
ton Of being the richest royal princess
In Europe. Her royal highness was

And not only is the future queen Of
Denmark distinguished for her wealth,
but she is generally spoken of ais the
tallest Of European royal women. She
is over six feet, and 1t has been noticed
during her recent stay in Paris-where,
by the way, both she and the crown
prince are exceedingly popular-that at
no matter what aristocratic function
her royal bighness is present, she towers
above all the rest of the company in
fashion wonderful to behold
AS mother Of no less than eight chill

to be valued, even by royalties. The

Asked If meat Is unhealthy in hot
weather, he said ''Meat Is much more
easily digested than starchy vegeta-
bles, and is both nutritious and condi-
mental Vegetables are watery and
furnish little nutriment, their qualities
being continental and mechanical.
Meat, good bread, potatoes, and milk
free from germs is the diet to be relied
upon at all times for good health.
Good bread should be the foundation of
every meal, and too much care cannot
be given TO its preparation. Bread
should be at least day old before it is
eaten, II not older.
IF poor persons, especially the very
poor, would take more cereal food and
less meat they would be better off ply
sically and financially. For instance.
against Is cents for beef. The pound of
wheat contains only 10 per cent mois-
ture, while the pound of beef is more
than half moisture. You get more than
twice the nourishment from three cents
worth of wheat than you do from the
pound of beef. Eat more bread and
wheat and less meat is good rule for
hot weather. Man can live by bread
alone, while upon meat alone he would
soon die.
How about summer drinks?" said
DR.. Wiley, disdainfully They are
snares of the devil. The custom of con-
stantly dosing the stomach with Ice
cold drinks in summer is simply sui
cidal. The extreme cold contracts the
pores through which the pepsin is Sc
GREETED and tends to congest the cords
of the stomach. When thirsty in hot
weather one should drink water at from
60 to 65 degrees. Drink slowly and all
you want, and you will find that water
at this temperature quenches the thirst
much better than iced water"

MARTYRS TO VANITY.
EngIish Peasant Women Eat starch
TO Give Their Faces an
Attractive PaIIOr.

Modern martyrs to vanity are
Northumbrian women. The acquisi-
ton of the pale, ethereal complexion
so much admired by their men leads
them to the practice of form of
beauty culture which has lately re-
suited in the death of Jane Mold, who
succumbed the other day to an i'll
ness induced by the habitual con-
sumption of raw starch and uncooked
rice. says Black and White.
1t is a well-kAown practice in the
north, and hundreds of women who
work in the fields have the white
magnolia complexion resulting from
this treatment.
The Northumbrian women have an
other aid to beauty in the shape of
"ugles"-a variety of large cotton
scoop bonnet made on whalebones
like an umbrella. This they wear as
a protection from the sun and wind
when working out of doors in the hot
sun.
Most of these pallid females, if one
goes up close to them, are observed
to be nibbling starch, thus preserv-
ing this doubtful advantage of COM
plexion by inward and outward pre-
cautions.
''No uncooked rice" once appeared
in doctors dietary prescribed for
an ailing north-country servant, puz-
cling the mistress exceedingly until
she was enlightened as TO the habits
of the Northumbrian peasantry.
