HEALTHFUL HOUSEKEEPING.


The busy housekeeper, whose time
is mostly spent indoors, should devote
five minutes each morning, noon and
night to simple exercises in order to
develop the muscles and ward OF
WEAKNESS and disease, says Woman's
Home Companion. A correct standing
position-head up, chin in, chest up,
hips back-should be praeticed all
ways, even when washing dishes. 1t
will soon become habit and add more
elegance to the appearance than any
amount of money spent in fine clothes.
Deep breathing should be practiced
almost constantly. Have always an
abundance of fresh air and all the sun-
light you can possibly admit to your
rooms. Housework is excellent exercise
if one goes about it in the right way.
Have the sink and cooking-table so
high that you need not bend over when
at work. If one constantly stands or
sits in STOPPING position, the inter
nal organs become crowded, and dis
ease is often the result. Remember
that good housekeeping is easy house
keeping, and no woman need wear her.
self out. Her health is of prime inn
portance when the happiness and com
fort of family depend on her. The
woman who does her work alone must
plan systematically, and study to save
time and strength, in order to have the
recreation necessary TO the well-being
of everyone. Instead of spending time
and good material in making pies,
cakes. ETC., which often impair the di-
gestion, study rather the simplest
foods which can be prepared with less
labor and are valuable to repair waste.

MILITARY SUICIDES.
Are Of COmmOuer Occurrencs in the
Ruastsu Array Than An Any
other Oountry.

A French student has been investi-
eating the subject of suicides in the
armies of Europe, and has reached
some curious results Everywhere,
except in Russia, the number of mill
tary suicides is decreasing; in that
country, however. the average for
some years past has been 1873 in
every 100000. In France the proper
tion now is 1s in 100000; in Italy,
"a: in Germany. SO, and in Austria,
105 to every 100000. In civil life in
this country the Germans provide the
largest proportion of suicides; it is
curious to find them surpassed in
Europe by the Austrian and Russian
soldiers.
The different arms of the services
commit suicide in differing propor-
tions. In the French army self-mur-
der Is commonest among the men of
the Foreign Legion, of whom 80 in
100000 commit it yearly, and least
common among those of the Garde
Republicaihe. only IL of whom kill
themselves to each 100000. The
French cavalry provides more sui
cides than does the infantry. the in
faDtry and the engineers the small
est number.
In the British army the suicide
rate is about % to the 100000 at
home and 80 per 100000 in India. In
1S9s-99 the rate in our regular army
was about AZ per 100000; it is lower
now. the strain of war conditions
having lessened.

Der of the New York World, Sunday,
the Mayor Of New Brunswick says
that twenty years hence New Bruins
wick should have a population OF
rs, 900. We don't know by what
method these figures were computed,
therefore we will not venture to dis
pnte their correctness, but by the same
method it can be easily demonstrated
that Perth Amboy, in the same period
of time, will have at least 100, 900

Since the recent decision Of State
Superintendent Baxter, backed up by
Attorney General McCarter, that the
President of Board OF Education
holds over until his successor is elect.
ed, the matter has been given much
attention by the press of the State;
for it seems Mayor Seaman's action
has not only untangled the local
muddle, but he has also assisted sever
al other localities out Of their diff
culties.
In commenting upon the local situa-
tiOn, however, the press generally has
made q great mistake in assuming
that the salaries of the school teachers
Of this CITY have been held up since
January. This is far from the truth.
Only one week were the teachers
forced to go without their money
after it became due. A temporary
president signed the warrants for
January, February and March and
doubtless would have been doing so
yet had not the opinion by City Attor-
ney Hommann stopped the payments
until the regular president was c''osen.

PRINCIPLES OF COOKERY.
ehree Purposes Which Are Not Par-
tIcuIarIy Observed by the
Average Cook.

The nutritive value of food depends
to great extent upon cooking. Many
articles of food which are unfit for
nourishment when raw are very nutri-
tious when cooked 1t is well-known
that well-cooked food is wholesome
while badly cooked food is unpalatable
and unwholesome. There are three
purposes in cooking. The first is to
change the hecondition of the food so that
the digestive juices can act more freely
upon it; the second is to make it more
appetizing by improving the appear
ance, and the third to kill any disease
or germs or other dangerous organ
isms it may contain, says American
Queen.
This last object is a very important
matter and applies to both animal and
vegetable foods.
Cooking of meats develops pleas
ing taste and odor and softens the
gelatinoids, thus making the meat
more tender. Extreme heat tends to
coagulate and harden these albumin
oids and weaken the flavor of the ex-
tractives.
Meat loses weight in cooking. This
is due in part to the escape of the
juices and fat; the chief part of the
lost material is simply water.
The nutritive value of soup depends
upon the substances which are dis
solved out of the meat, bones and girls
tie by the water.
The principles governing the cook
ing of fish are the same as with meats.
In vegetables the valuable starch
grains are contained in very small
cells with thick walls on which the di-
gestiye juices have very little effect.
The heat of cooking breaks these walls
and makes the starch more soluble.
The heat also caramelizes a part Of
these starch grains and produces
agreeable favors in the foods.
In breads, cakes and pastry, the
purpose of cooking is to make light
er porous substance that can be more
easily broken up in the alimentary
canal than the raw material could be.
The heat changes some of the water
contained in the dough into steam
which, in it's efforts to escape, sep
arates the particles of dough. The
gluten of the -four stiffens about the
bubbles that are formed and the mass
remains porous after the steam has
escaped.
In no part of the housekeeping is
cleanliness more absolutely essential
than in cooking. The foods should be
kept free from all forms of dirt and
from bacteria, worms and other para
sites. The cook should be scrupulous-
ly neat and clean in handling food ma
terials and in cleansing cooking uten-
sils.
All food materials, meats, vegetables
and fruits, alike contain parasites-dis.
ease germs-which are very injurious
III their effects, such as tapeworms in
beef and mutton and trichinae in pork.
Vegetables and raw fruits may con-
tain the eggs of various germs and
should be thoroughly washed before
eating. Sufficient heating kills all these
organisms.

"DO you know / think Chinese char
